House Sitting Willow

“Incredible! Communicative through the entire stay and my apartment is cleaner than i left it which is so Incredibly nice of her! I'm so pleased, and though this was a one-off/unlikely to need a dog sitter again type of vacation, I would without a doubt use Rose again if needed.”

“Ronnie went above and beyond to take care of Chaga, and was super accommodating to a few SNAFUs on our part along the way. Chaga is an anxious guy but seemed to warm up to him pretty swiftly.”

“Karla is a gentle and kind animal whisperer. Our pup was immediately calmed by her energy. From his daily med routine, to even feeding him by hand when he put up a “my humans are traveling fight” she cared for him with grace and love. AND we got daily pics.”

About: I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs since I was a child. I would love to take care of your beloved pets. I currently work part-time and have a lot of availability in between my work schedule. I can easily pet care during the week and on the weekends. I am 100% present and naturally intuitive with animals. I am there for whatever they need. They will be cared for and loved when they are with me.

About: As a dedicated dog and cat owner, I truly understand the trust you place in a sitter. I frequently care for pets of friends and family, including high-energy breeds and shy or nervous animals. I adapt my approach to ensure all our furry friends—whether they need a relaxed lap-sit, an extra-long run, or quiet patience—feel safe, happy, and well-cared for, giving owners total peace of mind. During the week, I work part time and am a student. I am available for walks and drop ins with shorter notice and longer visits with some notice to plan accordingly. I follow your lead to maintain your pets routine and adapt as needed based on their temperament and comfort. Walks, car rides and an adventure full of treats and rewards for good behavior. Or simply a visit, a snuggle and some food and fresh water while you’re out for long hours.

“Jennifer was the best! We had a last-minute cancellation and she was a lifesaver for us: she even came by the same day to meet our pup in advance. She took really great care of our girl and was very communicative. Definitely recommend!”

“Vanessa was by far the best sitter we’ve had in nearly ten years. She went above and beyond. She took pebbles on hikes and swims and dog parks, kept her super clean and managed her food and meds very well. We returned in over a week to find pebbles thriving. We would call on Vanessa in a heart beat going forward whenever we need someone to care for our pup.”

About: Hi! My name is Fiona and I’m a lifelong lover of dogs and all animals. I grew up always having 2 to 3 dogs. I was responsible for walking, feeding, grooming, and playing with them. I have experience watching and walking friend’s dogs when needed. I believe each dog deserves special love and attention. I am currently a teacher, so I spend Monday to Friday at work during the day. If the dog is local to Catskill, I’m more than happy to check up on them! Otherwise it’s important to know I’ll be out for some of the day, except for breaks. I’m available for weekend walking and drop-in’s any time! Each pet has their own personality, boundaries, and routine. I want to make sure the pets are comfortable with me so that I can care for them properly.

About: I will keep you updated throughout the day letting you know how your pet is doing. If you'd like, I can even send you pictures showing how happy your pet is. I freelance in film production which allows me to be flexible with days and time. I have a wired sleeping schedule too which will allow me to go whenever to watch your pet. I make sure my roommates dog is always walked, fed, loved, played with, and above all, has water. I have a natural caring gift for all animals.

“Great experience and my dogs immediately loved Jo, and one of them usually takes longer to gain trust but Jo has pawsitive vibes. Sent great photos and put my mind at ease for the night.”

About: I am a freelance content writer and artist picking up odd jobs in mid-life while working on writing my book, caring for my partner, and trying to give back to the world. I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and am the first person that friends, colleagues and acquaintances call when they need pet-sitter. I have my own 5-year-old Great Pyr / Catahoula mix who has endless amounts of energy, a quirky sense of humor and is my very best friend. I also call Sgt. Pepper (a 16 lb, 16-year-old Mini Pin / Poodle mix) my dog because he is such a beloved member of our family, but technically he belongs to my mom and lives with her in Nevada so I make special trips to see them both as often as I can! I’ve helped house train puppies, trained my own dogs, walked both chihuahua-sized dogs and Great Danes, babysat for pit bulls and other rescues with high anxiety who need special care and attention around other people and animals, and have also cared for sick cats and dogs, including cooking special meals for them, giving saline injections to a cat with kidney disease, and administering meds and therapeutic treatments for sick and/or senior cats and dogs. I’ve also had to wash a few dogs down with Tecnu after getting sprayed by skunks (!) and tended to lots of belly aches, bug bites and other mild issues that can befall any kind of pup. I genuinely love spending time with dogs of all kinds and think they are the greatest blessing on earth. I would love to offer care, attention, love, exercise and snuggles for your dog when you need extra help :) I am a freelancer so I work completely on my own schedule. I can make time for walks, check-ins, feedings and more anytime throughout the day and into early evening (preferably before 9pm). I come to your home to care for your pet. I understand that different pets will have different needs so we can talk beforehand and agree on what is best for your pet! I am open to making multiple visits per day for feeding and attention, staying at the house for a certain amount of hours as needed, walking your pet (willing and able to do both long, strenuous walks/hikes or short jaunts around the neighborhood), playing games with them, training exercises and even taking them to a local dog park to run if they enjoy that. I have my own dog at home and she absolutely loves other dogs and getting to play when she has visitors.

“Patricia was amazing. Our newly adopted doghas separation anxiety and continued to give her a run for her money the whole first part of the second day. She was patient with Lucy and in the end we were so happy to be able to complete our vacation without worries. We will definitely have her back”

About: Aside from growing up caring for animals, I’ve worked at a dog daycare for about a year. During my time there I learned a lot about dog behavior and how to read their body language. Now, I am currently studying canine training and management at SUNY Cobleskill where I work with a variety of canine’s daily. So I am currently on summer break from school, so I can assure you I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I start my day off by making sure my babies are fed and have fresh water, followed by going out for a walk and playing outside for a little! I have a dog and a cat who is very shy. If needed I have a crate that can be used.

“Christine bailed us out at the last minute and totally saved us. She was just great, and I think our cats even decided they like her better than they like us. Couldn't be happier that we have made this connection.”
