Molly and Ginger with Donna Read and Ed Rasowsky

"Cathy is a lover of all creatures great and small.  She is also trustworthy, conscientious and follows instructions to the letter. We know that when we leave our "girls", Molly and Ginger, with her, they will get all the love and attention they need.  It is a comforting feeling when you are thousands of miles away from the pets that you love."

Arley"The day we found Cathy was our lucky day. She is the ultimate in her field. She is a true "buddy" to our boy Arley. We trust her implicitly.
She is conscientious, reliable and intelligent. I feel she has become more than a pet sitter to us. She is our friend. I would recommend Cathy and her service with absolutely no hesitation. Try it.....you'll like it!!"

"We have had FSPPS and Cathy at our home since the fall of 2002. We are so very pleased!Our 3 Springer Spaniels, Huey, Abigail, and Chloe just love the service, and we love the professionalism and caring. The diary notes are so thoughtful, and we look forward to reading the diary when we come home at supper time.

We are delighted to find someone like Cathy who loves our animals as we do. Your service is wonderful and we will continue to recommend you and FSPPS to our friends, family and all interested in loving care for their pets!! THANK YOU!!!!"

Amber Qunetin(Amber, pictured on left; Quentin, pictured on right)
"Cathy has watched my dogs Quentin and Amber for the last several years and she's been absolutely wonderful.

It's obvious that she loves her job because she has such love to share with our pets. At our return, we always found a note letting us know just how everything went.

It really puts your mind at ease knowing your animals will be well cared for in your absence. We just moved and we are going to miss having Cathy sit for our precious pups, but I wanted to be sure to leave a note saying THANK YOU for taking the best possible care for Amber and Quentin. You've been wonderful!"

Lennie "Cathy is the most reliable, professional and honest person you could ever do business with. We have been using her services for years and we know we can leave our home and our cat "Lennie" with peace of mind. We highly recommend Cathy and Four Seasons Pet Sitting services."

Phoebe"I have been using Four Seasons services for about six months and I only have great things to say about my dog's visits. I was nervous at first about leaving my dog Phoebe with anyone other than family and was also not thrilled with having someone in my place when I was gone.

That changed the minute I met Cathy and her former associate Karen. Both women were friendly and personable and I immediately felt comfortable with them. I always come back to find cute notes and a happy cocker spaniel. I have also needed some last minute visits and they are always quick to try to squeeze me in. I highly recommend Four Seasons!"

SimSim Fatuta"The first time I knew Cathy was last year when I had to leave for a three weeks' vacation. I left my little cat SimSim with her, and since it was the first time to leave him, I was very nervous.

But when I saw how much she loves animals, I knew right away she will be the best person to take care of my baby. This year I am leaving again and I will leave SimSim (now 16 months old) and his new brother Fatuta with Cathy - she is the only person I can trust to take care of my boys."

As my job takes me thousands of miles away from my "family" of dogs and cats a few times a year, Four Seasons Pet Sitting (Cathy and expecially Virginia) has been a life-saver.

With the special care that some of my animals require, it is more than just comforting to know that they are all in the care of someone who loves them as I do. Virginia even humors me each evening when I call home to hear everyone's "voice." Four Seasons, you are reliable, flexible, and just plain amazing. Thank you for everything.

Lacy Jane"I recently told Cathy that she is priceless and that is exactly how I feel. Traveling was a concern after we adopted our 'Lady Jane,' and we do quite a lot of it.

I return now with confidence, knowing Lady will be safe and content. Though that is and always will be my main concern there is more. Cathy is organized and efficient, always giving more than she has been asked and doing it in a way that makes me feel that she is a friend to Lady and to me!"

With Sincere Thanks,
Lady Jane & Kathy

Totoro

"Our two kitties, Toto and Maxine, always seem to be firmly attached to our hip. They are always following us around, meowing and chattering
away.

Toto can't go a day without his special 'Daddy lovin' time, and Max loves to get attention by 'dancing' and shaking her tail at our feet. They even snuggle up with us on the bed when it's time to sleep!

(Toto)
Vacationing was tough because we hate to leave them alone. Also, Max isn't very inviting to strangers. Cathy changed all of that! Now we can take a trip and feel confident that our pets are safe and cared for, and the kitties love her!!"

"Per your 'client survey' recently received as a follow-up to your sitting for Dremel and Radar, I would be more than happy to send a reference!

It was a pleasure to meet you when you came to meet our pets before sitting for them.

(Dremel)

I found your attention to our pets genuine, your Website VERY professional as was the paperwork you asked me to complete. Never before had anyone asked me about a form to be included with our pets veterinarian so that in the event that something did happen, you would have complete authority to have them treated without delay. I think that this is a great procedure! Thank you.

In addition, your checklists for additional services such as plant watering, mail pick-up, lights, and TV are above and beyond the call of duty. I realized that when I read your letter upon our return that our satellite system is confusing and that there is

(Radar)  
no way you would be able to figure out how to put the 'Swing' music on for Drem!  I am sure he was fine without it!

Thank you again for your help. I know we are outside your normal pet sitting area, and I appreciate you taking us on as clients! Thank you again, we look forward to working with you again soon!"

"We have been using Cathy's services for many years. Prior to finding out about her, we had used a variety of sources for helping us to care for our pets when we were away--neighborhood children, our own grown children and other relatives.  The neighborhood children were the worst,  once leaving our cat out for a whole day in very cold weather. 

(Boozie)

Our relatives would get busy and forget to come at the prescribed times.  It was hit or miss with all of them. We also attempted to board our pets at various places and, on one trip, we got a call from the vet asking us to come home, because our aging cat was in a state of trauma.  She would not eat or move about and there was little they could do for her.  Also, our dog whined and moaned all day long, which was very upsetting to us.

(Blackie)

Finding Cathy changed all that.  We knew she was going to be good when our dog first met her.  He ran up to her like she was an old friend, and this is not something he normally does.  We felt that his instincts have always been pretty good, so we decided to try her. 
We were pleasantly surprised.  Our dog and our cat were happy and contented when we came home, rather than upset and forlorn, as we had previously seen them.  And they got to be in their own environment, which was the best benefit of all.

Cathy is a professional and she comes when we ask her to.  She brings in our mail, she puts our lights on at night, and above all, she gives us peace of mind.  We can enjoy ourselves knowing that the pets are well cared for.  She always writes notes telling us how things have gone and we really appreciate that.  She even checks to see if we made it home okay.  As far as we are concerned, using Cathy's services is the only way to go."

(Jordan)

"For six years, we have always had a family member take care of our dog, Colonel, and our cat, Jordan, while we were away.

However, no one was able to watch them this year, so we had Four Seasons Professional Pet Sitting come to our home.

Both Colonel and Jordan are 10 years old and Jordan requires medication two times a day. At first I was a little nervous - not only about leaving them, but also how they would be for a stranger.

After meeting Cathy, I had no concerns at all. I could see that Colonel and Jordan would be just fine.

(Colonel)

My husband and I can confidently recommend Four Seasons Professional Pet Sitting and will be definitely using them again in the future."

(Baby Kitty)

"I saw the ad in the East Greenbush paper about Four Seasons Professional Pet Sitting. I called and spoke with Cathy, and was immediately impressed with her professionalism.

She make an appointment  to meet with me and the pets before agreeing to take the job. This showed me that she wanted to be sure she could provide exceptional care and not just take the job without considering all aspects of the responsibility.

Cathy spend about an hour at my home for this initial consultation. We talked specifically about my pets, and their care and habits. She took the time to look around my home so as to fully understand where my pets sleep, eat, have their food located, and other relevant information on their care.

I was extremely impressed with Cathy's professionalism during this visit. She came prepared with paperwork and a contract. Her paperwork included detailed instructions on not only the care of the pets, but also on the maintenance of my home during my vacation. Cathy's service also included getting the mail and the paper every day, bringing in out the trash, turning lights on and off, and anything else you may worry about while away from your home for a period of time.

I knew at once upon meeting Cathy that she was outstanding!  She combines a caring and nurturing manner toward pets with an assertive and confident attitude toward her job and the responsibility of caring for your home and pets. I felt safe entrusting my pets and my home in her care.

Cathy even suggested that I call her while I was away to check on things at home. That was an amazing and comforting thought, because I left my sick dog in her care. I did call Cathy during my vacation, and spoke with her. She calmed my fears, because she is so reliable, helpful, and kind.

When I returned, everything was perfect! My pets were happy, because they had been well taken care of in THEIR home. My mail and newspapers were neatly stacked and waiting on my table and my plants were not dead, because Cathy had watered them!

After coming home, Cathy called me to make sure my pets and I were satisfied. This follow-up call once again showed me that Cathy goes beyond expectations.

I have raved about Cathy and Four Seasons Pet Sitting to all of my friends and relatives. I will NEVER send my pets to a kennel again!  Cathy's service is SUPERIOR!"

"Cathy and her Four Seasons team are the gold standard in loving and professional pet care. We lead busy lives and travel on a regular basis, but always feel sure that our beloved four-legged children are being tended to with care by 'family.'

(Lana)
On several occasions we have had extraordinary circumstances arise while we were away; we were always promptly notified, and Cathy and her A-team went beyond the call of duty to ensure our home and animals were safe and sound.  Lana, Tigger, Dante, Lily, and Rosie say 'thank you,' too, to their very special 'pet nannies' (who spoil them rotten!)."
