Cat Sitters in Bedford, NY

Prompt, reliable

David and Claire took care of our 2 cats and small dog and our garden for 2 weeks. Everything went smoothly and we received regular updates on the animals. They had a special knack with the cats. Our cats have been known to hide for weeks in the presence of strangers but David and Claire had them out and cuddling within a few days! House was nice and clean when we returned home.

Corinne took excellent care of our pet and our home. She easily befriended our very shy bunny and provided us with fun and frequent updates. We returned to a spotless home. I feel very lucky that Corinne was able to sit for us and would be very happy to have her stay again!

Vanessa was simply great! She was very communicative, clean, reliable, friendly, and very pleasant. We couldn't have asked for more.

Elizabeth was truly the best!!! Friendly, kind, and a pleasure to work with. She went on hikes daily with Finn, something we really valued as finn is a high energy hunting dog. She sent photos of their adventures and gave us a detailed daily updates. For being the first time we left him that long, we were at ease knowing they were both in her hands! She is obviously experienced in caring for animals and I would recommend her to anyone. Cherry on top - she took great care of our home. She took the time to clean the bedding and tidy things up so when we came home after a long day of traveling, we could crawl straight into bed! She goes above & beyond!

Liz did a great job caring for our 2 dogs, 2 cats and home while we were away. She was very communicative and organized and we'd be happy for her to stay with them again!

When Jackie rang the doorbell, both of The Girls ran to the door to give her a warm welcome and immediately took to her as she entered. Once she made it past the initial love and affection offensive offered up to all new arrivals, she was able to sit down on the couch to chat with us, and then they both jumped up by her side! Roxy wasn’t content to just snuggle up next to her like her sister did, but instead rolled over onto her back and put her head in Jackie’s lap, gazing up into her eyes like a lovestruck teenager. It was clear both of them were intensely and immediately comfortable with her, a good sign since in our experience, our doggos are a fabulous judge of character. While all was clearly going great with the dogs, we assured her it was normal if she didn’t see the cats right away; they would probably come out within a day or two. However, before we even boarded the plane, we received a cute photo of Nimbus poking his head out from around the couch with a curious look and the caption, “Look who joined the party.” Followed shortly after by a photo of Limerick saying, “And the gang’s all here!” Parker and I looked at each other and exchanged a knowing look and small sigh of relief: Jackie was *definitely* the perfect choice to watch over our furry family, and we would have no reason to waste time thinking about what was happening at home! While we were away, she consistently kept us posted on our pets antics by sending adorable photos of everyone throughout, allowing us to check in when we had Wi-Fi. Due to weather delays for our later flight, we opted to catch an earlier flight home the last day. Even though we arrived home hours earlier than expected, the place was already spotless, the bed had been remade, the towels were in the dryer, and there, on the kitchen counter, were freshly picked wildflowers in a vase that she admitted, “The Girls helped her pick out.” We could tell by the way they all related to her, the entire family had been well loved while we were away. It was also obvious they’d had quite an effect on her too, as she was clearly sad to leave them behind, saying how much she would miss them and even offering to be their guardian if anything were to ever happen to us, as we don’t have any family who could take them. Not only is Jackie an amazing sitter, she is a kind, generous, loving, warm and genuinely good human being, one who not only loves animals, but is easy to talk to and fun company to have around. Had we not had a flight to catch that first night, Parker and I could have just as easily chosen to go out to dinner or spent the rest of the evening in engaging conversation with her. If you get an application from Jackie to watch over your pets and home, don’t hesitate. Just hit accept and know that your pets will thank you for it! The next time we head out of town, we will absolutely be hitting her up first to see if she’s available, long before we post our next sit publicly.

This is the second time that I have had Chaya watch Piper at our house. Chaya communicated well and gave us updates on Piper. The house was left neat and tidy. I would definitely use Chaya again for any houses that I had. She is a five star sitter.

Kiyomi was reliable, kind, trustworthy and good with Aspen, my 11 yo lab mix, helpful with a minor injury Aspen had when she slipped on the ice. My only concern that the house could have been left cleaner, especially the kitchen.

Kendra was very communicative and I knew my furbabies were in great hands! I could tell my cats were loved and well taken care of. She sent lots of pictures and videos! In addition, she kept me up to date on maintenance requests that needed to be attended to and kept my place very clean. 10/10 recommend for a pet sitter!

Noah is exactly the person you hope to find on this site. Smart, empathetic, communicative, capable, calm, focused, and eager to follow instructions. He's also neat (well, at least the house was very neat when we returned!), and just a genuinely nice guy. He's young, but pretty worldly for his age, so we felt confident he could handle the regular day to day, as well as sort out anything unexpected that might happen. We came back to calm and happy cats, a clean fish tank (he didn't over feed), and healthy plants. Already trying to get him to agree to another sit next month!

Felix has done three sits with me and he's always five stars! My cat is getting older, but he's very understanding about her geriatric oddities - thank you, Felix. We always return to a clean home, with some happy well-fed pets!
