Cipriana Costello - Cat and Dog Sitting Services - Saugerties, NY
I can't wait to meet your pet! With over 16+ years of experience with cats and multiple dog breeds I am up for anything. I’ve worked with animals daily as a boarder, sitter, dog trainer, and kennel attendant at a local veterinary hospital. As a veterinary technician student my experiences with dogs (and other animals) also include, having pets of my own, working in local shelters, completing disaster search and rescue, and emergency disaster care. Most recently I traveled to the affected areas of hurricane Harvey where I rescued and cared for displaced animals. In addition, I've worked with all ages of animals as well as those with severe behavioral and health issues both in my home and in shelter situations. If you want someone who is comfortable around all types of dogs as well as confident in their abilities, I believe I am the handler for you. My main goal is the safety and happiness of your pets and with my years of experience, I believe that I can provide that to your pets as well as provide peace of mind to you.
I have animal first aid experience and have administered fluids, topical, oral and injectable treatments. I also have an extensive awareness of the foods that are dangerous to dogs and cats.
My schedule is somewhat flexible as I work both inside and outside of the house with various clients every week. With of my wide range of experiences and flexible schedule I will try my best to accommodate your schedule and special pet requests.
It is my policy to reserve the right to adjust prices on lesser valued services (Walking and Drop-Ins) if they are 15 minutes or more from my home. If the service location is approximately 20 minutes away from my home, I may consider it outside of my service area, especially in regards to locations on the east bank of the Hudson River.
In regards to drop-ins and walks, I offer longer walk and drop-in requests for an additional fee. Please contact me regarding rates for your extended visits.
Please book and pay me through Petworks. Thank you.
