Cat Sitting in Airmont

About: I started taking care of neighbors' and friends' dogs, cats, fish, hamsters and birds when I was 14 years old. I love animals and wildlife of all kinds. I have been a cat and dog mom for 28 years and have had 2 leash and dog-reactive dogs (strong, 60 pound+ mutt and pit bull) so I am experienced in dealing with these situations. I have strong situational awareness with my head on a swivel when walking dogs. My senior kitty required specialized medical care at the end of her life with daily prescription medication and subcutaneous fluids. I have volunteered as a dog walker and cat snuggler at Friends of Homeless Animals rescue. I have been a social worker for 30 years and am nearing retirement from full-time employment. I would love to use my love of animals to continue working as a pet-sitter and dog walker. I am very organized, detail-oriented and will care for your pet as I care for my own. I would love to meet you and your pets to see how I can be of service. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday but am retiring at the end of September. My weekends are currently free. I have some flexibility in my weekday schedule so I may be available on a case-by-case basis for weekday dog walks that are in western Loudoun County and within a 10 minute drive of my home. I will care for your pet in your home so that they will be the most comfortable. I am available for overnight stays to keep your pet company and to provide close supervision, lots of TLC, food, water, potty breaks and anything else you may need. I am a non-smoker and non-drinker. I am very detail-oriented, responsible and dependable. As a bit of an overprotective dog mom, I have needed to entrust my dog's care to a pet sitter. My dog is my world. So I know just how valuable trust, dependability and attention to detail are. What matters to you matters to me. I will follow your instructions down to the smallest detail. I will be diligent in communicating with you, sending regular updates and photos of your pet so that you know they are safe and happy in my care.

“Amanda was prompt and provided photos of my pup. It relieved a lot of anxiety knowing she was there with him to give him a break and cuddles:)”

“We had such a great experience with Sarah taking care of our dog, Duke! From the start, she was responsive, professional, and clearly very experienced with dogs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Duke was in such good hands. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which we really appreciated, and it was clear Duke was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. When we got home, he was relaxed and his usual self, which says everything. We would absolutely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of Duke!”

About: I grew up with 2 Labrador retrievers, who I grew a special bond with where I grew to love taking care of dogs! I now have a 3 year old German Shepherd pure bred, who I raised and helped to train. I just adopted a Hound, who is a 2 year old rescue. I love walking my dogs everyday, and also driving them to parks as well. I feed my dogs everyday, and have always been known to be taking care of dogs my whole life. I am 21 years old, and a student at East Carolina University. I come home very often, especially during breaks, and live here all summer! My pets are apart of my everyday life, and I am willing to take care and spend valuable time with pets whenever needed and necessary for you! I am willing to do just about anything with your pets, such as spending time playing with them, walking them, going to a park, feeding them, making sure they go to bed safe, whatever fits you and your pets needs!

“Shayna took care of my kitty when I needed her at the last minute and in a pinch. So grateful she took all the stress away so I could enjoy my cruise!”

“We are nervous dog parents and Sarah went above and beyond to ensure both our puppies and my husband and I were comfortable while away from them! Cannot recommend her highly enough. She is very knowledgeable and won over our most particular girl with her calm and warm presence.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and have years of hands on experience caring for animals. I currently work at a kennel where I care for all kinds of dogs, with specialized experience in administering medication, cleaning and bathing, and safe, confident handling. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have experience caring for exotic pets, including birds and reptiles. I am currently working part-time, so I am available to drop in during most hours every day of the week. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate last-minute requests, midday walks, or specific feeding times to ensure your pet stays perfectly on track with their usual routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress free. I make sure all feeding, walks, playtime, and litter box or cleanup needs are handled carefully, and I closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. I also administer medications when needed and keep the home clean and secure, providing updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

“Sarah was a wonderful cat sitter for our kitty Cleo. We could tell by all the pictures that Cleo really enjoyed Sarah’s company and warmed up to her quickly. If we ever need a cat sitter again Sarah will be our first call!”

“Ally is great - super communicative and clearly took great care of the pup. She filled up puzzle treats every visit (a must for getting puppy to eat) and was prompt and present for every walk. My old girl has some specific health concerns and Ally was great with medication schedules and sharing out observations. Over and above - we love Ally!”

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life, always living in a home with three or more dogs and at least two cats. At one point, my family also bred Great Danes, which gave me experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and needs. Because of this background, I am very compassionate toward animals and am eager to become more involved in working with them. Im looking to save money for college so as much work as possible is helpful! I will be communicative and let you know if it fits my schedule! at home, I have a large front yard as well as a fenced in back yard. I have 3 dogs however I would more than likely keep your pet away from my animals just to be safe and respectful. I will be able to go on long walks with your animals and give them a great experience!

About: With a vet-tech mom, I grew up surrounded by animals of every kind. From a young age I learned the real responsibilities of caring for pets, helping her rescue and rehabilitate dogs and cats, assisting with grooming, daily care, and even giving medications when needed. Animals have always been a part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally — it’s truly what I love to do Pet care is a normal part of my everyday routine because I have pets of my own, so things like feeding, walking, grooming, and giving extra attention are already built into my day. I also live very close to town, which makes it easy for me to pop over for walks, check-ins, or last-minute visits. With a flexible work schedule, I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs and make sure pets get consistent, reliable care whenever it’s needed. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication, or sticking to specific training habits. I always make sure their space stays clean, they get plenty of attention, and their needs are met exactly as instructed.

“As any viewer of Caroline W.'s reviews will see, I'm truly pleased to report she is as fantastic as they read. I could write paragraphs, but I'll highlight what really underscores her excellence. 1. Diligent and Prompt -- Caroline had reached out to me prior to our meet-and-greet and the final key pick-up and drop-offs to check-in and confirm times : this was prior to me doing so and reaching out to her. I had even expressed how this was really a pleasant surprise, and that it spoke volumes of her attention to detail; conversely, her promptness made *me feel like I was just the opposite and not paying close attention! That hasn't happened often in past experiences with many services, so Caroline really made sure we were aligned with appointments for key checkpoints in our set-up and return processes. In addition to her diligence, her promptness was actually mind-boggling. My wife and I were away on vacation, and it was no less than perfect clockwork where I'd see her check-ins literally *on the dot* for the times in the mornings and late afternoons for her visits, dead on the hour: we're not talking 2, 3, 4 minutes late, but perfection nearly every single time, with maybe one starting a *minute after the agreed time? It's ridiculous I'm even writing that last point, but to show how rigorous her punctuality is, it bears mention that Caroline was *this precise to showing up on time, every time, and 100% of the time gave her full allotted visit, with some an extra couple of minutes. Incredibly impressive. 2. Wonderful interactions with our cat -- we were able to see through our home's Ring system Caroline greeting our cat for every visit, especially as the days of our vacation wore on. The fact that Caroline would greet our cat with a clear and welcoming tone and message fit precisely how my wife and I interact with her (our cat), and just hearing the conversations between Caroline and our cat was very comforting: no doubt this "fitting into our patterns" helped with our cat's loneliness and coping with our absence, and that included spending focused time giving her simple company. Fantastic job! And lastly, 3. Being amenable to modifications and a couple of simple related tasks: Caroline was able to care for our "cat grass" and keep it thriving while we were gone, lavishing feedings to our cat when desired (most every visit); she also was able to follow our instructions by text message on how to use our "treat puzzle", since our cat was insistent on "playing it", and I know doing this gave a lot of comfort (and more treats) to our cat, and made my wife and I feel truly glad that Caroline was able to add this adjustment and make our cat feel like things were still as normal as they could be in our absence. With that, I give Caroline my highest recommendation, and can't express enough the value in having her as a drop-in sitter for our cat.”
