Pet Sitters in Schodack Landing, NY

Nancy

Lovely people and wonderful sitters. The cats were happy and my home was well cared for. Nancy communicated well through the sit and was flexible setting up arrival and departure times. She and Dan would be welcome back anytime!

Adrienne & Steven

Adrienne and Steven were great sitters! I had my first zoom call with them a couple of months before the sit, and knew immediately that it would be a great fit. They were super responsive and considerate. While I was traveling they sent updates and pictures, and the fact that Sophie warmed up to them so quickly was such a relief! I knew the cats, and my home were in good hands!

Leslie

Leslie was wonderful! I would highly recommend her. She did an excellent job taking care of our 4 horses, 3 dogs, and Earle Kitty. When we arrived home, they all looked happy and well kept. She texted updates and sent pictures every morning. The house, I couldn't even tell she had stayed. Leslie washed towels and bed sheets and remade her bed. She is a lovely person to be around.

Gerard & Sarah

Sarah and Gerard were great! The house was extremely tidy on our return and we had amazingly sharp knives thanks to Gerard’s travelling knife kit. They were really friendly and we felt so comfortable leaving our pets with them. Nero and Juno were very happy on our return. We would highly recommend them and if they want to come back to NZ we would have them back again!

Julianne

Faultless; Julie communicated excellently with us, took care of our two rescue dogs brilliantly, kept the house clean and tidy, and caused us absolutely zero concern our whole trip!

thomas

Thank You! My house and pets were happy after I was away for a week. Macy enjoyed the hike that you took her on. And I know the cats became your friends. I also appreciate the fact that you tried to get my leaf blower going and help clean up a two acre yard. I enthusiastically endorse you for future sits. Thank you again 👍

Natalie

I have no reservations recommending Natalie as someone to help look after your house and pets. Aside from the concrete things necessary for a good sitter -- arriving at the time she said she could (mine was a very last-minute sitting request, so this piece could have been a challenge), being self-sufficient, taking care to keep things tidy, and enjoying spending time with (in my case) our dog -- Natalie is a lovely person and I'm happy to have met her. I could not return until about 8:30 pm, so she stayed over for that night and even took care of my dog's nighttime going-outside needs and fed her early in the morning so that I was able to get a really good night's sleep after chaperoning a group of 12 kids for two nights! We had time to talk and learn a little more about each other before she went on her way. Like Mary Poppins!

Yana

Yana jumped in for a last minute sit and was a huge help. She picked up all the details in no time, and took wonderful care of our pets and our home. We hope to have her for a longer stay in the future. Definitely recommend.

Megan

Megan was great! Very communicative - took great care of our house and pups. We appreciated the changes in their schedule they made to get on schedule with our older, set in their way pups.

Seda

It was such a joy having Seda look after our babies while we were on vacation!!! She took such good care of them and we got constant photo and video updates. I think she is a cat whisperer! My shy anxious boy, Shrimp, let her pet him immediately and my outgoing girl, Shelly, cuddled with her all night. I am so grateful for her constant communication because it made our trip stress free! She also left our house completely spotless when we returned. I would highly recommend Seda to anyone who needs a wonderful, reliable house sitter. Thanks again!! 😊

Keri & Aaron

Keri and Aaron were kind enough to come for a visit a couple of days before the start of their sit. During the sit, They sent regular updates and pictures, and all seemed to go well.

Ashley

It was really great having Ashley here taking care of my dogs and goats. She is the kind of person who appreciates and is energized by natural beauty and life so I didn’t worry even for a second about my animals while I was gone on a business trip. when I came home, my house was very clean, and my animals were very happy. She even left me a litpiece of art.

Debra

Thoroughly enjoyed staying at Debra's house looking after Jazzi, Muffin, Shadow and Nelly. The home itself is extremely comfortable and all the animals were very loving and affectionate. I absolutely adored giving Jazzi belly rubs and playing fetch with Muffin. I would gladly sit here again in future.

Carole

A very pleasant house stay with Carole and Phil absolutely delightful. Solomon the cat is a large adorable gentle cat. We were made very welcome and felt at home.

Caitlin

Thanks Caitlin and Chris for a fabulous stay. Larkin is a darling, fabulous company and absolutely the best tour guide in Edinburgh. Great location with everything you need on the doorstep, beautiful walks at Corstophine Hill, tram stop 5 minutes away, great local pub and of course Larkin to keep you active.

Raphael

I am so glad I was chosen to pet sit for Frodo. Raphael and Shihara are fantastic people. They are very kind and made sure  I knew everything about their flat, community, and Frodo. I also met Raphael's parents who were also very kind and very sweet. There is nothing better than sitting for wonderful people. It sets the tone for the entire sit. I was very comfortable in their light-filled flat and taking care of Frodo was easy. He was a bit hesitant at first but soon warmed up to me. He enjoys looking at the birds and occasionally exploring the garden. He always comes back after 15 -30 minutes. I found he liked playing with a string best of all.  I have never explored North London before, and I really loved it. Consider yourself lucky if you get to meet Frodo and his wonderful parents.

Julie

From the first moment of our communication, Julie was absolutely lovely!
The dog Nioki that I took care of is really funny, 
the house is cozy in a great location in the city, 
I enjoyed my stay!

Ryanne

This was an easy sit with Cooley. Ryanne & Brenden were gracious hosts and explained Cooley’s schedule very good. A very good sit!
