Our home

Our home is located in beautiful Beacon, New York, which sits right on the Hudson River about 60 miles north of New York City. Beacon is a charming, artsy town with lots of restaurants, cafes, shops, and galleries.

Our home is located in beautiful Beacon, New York, which sits right on the Hudson River about 60 miles north of New York City. Beacon is a charming, artsy town with lots of restaurants, cafes, shops, and galleries. Main Street is just a block away, but also close by are some of the most beautiful hiking trails in the Hudson Valley. Metro North train station to Manhattan is about a twenty-minute walk from the house.

Our home is older (built in 1896), but recently renovated, and has a charming, private back yard with a garden. Please be comfortable with stairs as our layout is quite vertical! (I can email you more photos of house and yard if you are interested!)

You would be taking care of our 2 feline babies, Evy and Bruce. We are looking for a cat loving person who dotes on their animals as much as we do, and who can provide love and security for them while we are away. The worst part of going away is leaving our pets, but knowing there is someone at home watching over them makes it a little bit easier :-)

Review

Jill and Randy were delightfully welcoming. I can't say enough good things about how well they explained the cat and house care and expectations. They provided excellent written instructions for cat care, contacts, emergencies, etc. The house was clean and well-organized and the garden was lovely. And, most importantly, the four cats were sweet, incredibly well-behaved companions. Overall, it was a pleasure to work with Jill and Randy.
