Cat Sitting Albany

“Whitney stopped by and provided check in visits as we had arranged. She was able to give the snacks my kitty enjoys and build rapport. Sent pictures to reassure me that my kitty was not stressed. Appreciated knowing someone dependable was checking on my little family member!”

“Brianna was lovely! She took the time to meet my cat before confirming the booking and was very agreeable to all my many specific requests. I really appreciated that she was gentle and patient with my cat when she was shy and anxious about being around someone new. I highly recommend booking with Brianna! :)”

“Madison was so communicative and great with the dogs, she attended to them and cared for them in every way I had hoped for.”

“Angela was an amazing cat sitter! She took excellent care of all our cats and made sure every one of their needs was met. She truly went above and beyond, doing thoughtful extra things without even being asked. She even watered our fuchsia, which was so sweet. It gave us great peace of mind knowing everything at home was so well cared for. I highly recommend Angela’s cat-sitting services and would gladly hire her again!”

About: I grew up with a lotttt of cats and a dog. I currently have a big puppy and my roommate has three cats I help take care of. I loooove animals and always have! I work a lot, my schedule is a little all over the place but I am usually home most of the day and leave the pets with lots of water. Unfortunately the animals in my house are a little greedy, so they get fed once in the morning and once at night. We have two cat trees and lots of scratching posts for them. They (of COURSE) prefer climbing our bookshelves instead. I have some plants but keep them in areas they dont have access to. My dog gets two 10-20 minute walks a day and goes to the dog park as much as possible

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life, big and small! I grew up doing 4-H training, raising, and showing my dog, rabbits, chickens, sheep, and horses. I am now a working professional looking to house and pet sit to grow my savings. Since high school I have taken care of friends and families pets and houses while they’re out of town. I am comfortable with overnight sitting at your residence, and if you are close to my work I can check on your animals during my lunch break. As a house and pet sitter I respect your space and privacy. I also have experience as an Airbnb cleaner, and would be more than willing to use those skills to ensure you return to a clean and inviting home after a trip. I currently work 8-5 M-F in North Albany with an hour lunch break. I would be able to do morning care and feeding for pets, and if close I can use my lunch to check on them for an additional $5 per day to pay for gas. For full house sitting services I would be available all evening to play with, feed, and snuggle your animal(s)! When caring for you pet at your home I will try to match your typical routine when possible. I can sit out in the yard with them or take them for relief walks or longer. I will also do any enrichment activities you request, fetch, walks, etc.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for more than 20 years, and animals have always held a very special place in my heart. I understand that pets aren’t “just pets”—they’re family. I’m loving, patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, energy levels, and needs. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, behavior, comfort, and safety. Whether your dog wants to play, go for a walk, or curl up next to me for cuddles, I want them to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy and cared for. ❤️ My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week for dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. I enjoy being able to spend quality time with each pet rather than rushing through a visit. Your pet’s routine, comfort, and individual needs will always be top priority. Safety, trust, and your pet’s comfort are extremely important to me. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, boundaries, and any special needs. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their personality and allow them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their home and their pet’s established routine. I provide lots of affection, attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while always keeping safety first. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾❤️

“Alyssa was wonderfully attentive for the drop-in visits we scheduled to take care of our two cats. All of the instructions were followed precisely and she provided all the photos I requested (worried for a cat who doesn't eat well when we're not at home). She also provided great notes with context of what she observed during her visits. We met for a meet & greet at the house and to go over the care routine, and we were impressed with her pleasant and calm energy which is a must for any caretaker of our anxious cats. She provided not just the requested service but also peace of mind. Thank you Alyssa, we'll definitely be looking to book with you again!! 🙏😸”

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own two dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog's unique personality. With my second dog especially, I took an active role in training and behavior development, learning how to use positive reinforcement and establish routines that help dogs feel secure and happy. I regularly help friends by providing midday potty breaks and companionship for their dogs when they're at work or traveling. This has given me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and household routines. I understand how important it is to follow each pet's specific schedule, respect house rules, and provide the attention and exercise they're used to. I know that every dog is different - some need lots of playtime and stimulation, while others prefer quiet companionship. I'm comfortable with basic commands, can recognize signs of stress or discomfort, and always prioritize the pet's safety and well-being above all else. I currently work part-time, which gives me excellent flexibility for pet care services. I'm available every weekday after 3pm and have full availability on weekends. This schedule works perfectly for dog walks, evening pet visits, and weekend pet sitting when families are traveling. My part-time work arrangement means I can be consistent and reliable with your pet's routine. Whether you need daily walks, midday check-ins, or weekend care, I can accommodate regular schedules and provide the consistency that pets thrive on. I'm also available for last-minute requests when my schedule allows. I understand that pets need care even when their families are working full days, and my afternoon and weekend availability is ideal for busy pet parents who want to ensure their furry family members get attention and exercise while they're away. During pet check-ins, I focus on making sure each animal gets the individual attention and care they need. I always let dogs spend as much time outside as they want - whether that's a quick potty break or a longer play session in the yard. I pay attention to their energy level and preferences that day. I believe quality time is just as important as meeting basic needs, so I make sure to engage with each pet through play, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. For more active dogs, I'm happy to take them on short walks during my visit to give them extra exercise and mental stimulation. I follow the specific instructions and routines that pet parents provide, but I also adapt to what the pet seems to need in the moment. Some days they might want to play fetch, other days they just want someone to sit with them. I always make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, and that they seem comfortable and content before I leave. I provide updates to pet parents so they know how their furry family member is doing, including any highlights from our time together.

About: Hi, my name is Stella & I love dogs, and all animals! For full disclosure, I adopted a pup named Winnie - she is a big lovable goof with a sweet personality, who loves to play, and equally loves to chill and sleep. She gets along well with other dogs, so long as they don't exhibit aggressive behavior toward her. If I am considered for a house sitting job (or any other service), Winnie would not be joining me unless otherwise discussed. Right now I have open availability for house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits! I will treat your pet like I'd want mine to be treated (and per your instructions of course). :-) I love all breeds, large and small alike. Each dog has their own personality and I adjust my service based on what your dog needs. Cuddles, play time, belly rubs or space? Whatever works for me! I provide the best care and will give your dog all the love and attention he or she wants. I have much experience dog sitting/walking ~20 years! I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs (and everywhere in between) - administering medicine is no problem. I look forward to meeting your best friend(s). I take my dog on walks 2-3x per day, or replace one of these walks with a trip to the dog park (if it's nice outside!). I can only dog sit at your home as my dog is an ESA and the only dog allowed on my property. When dropping in or house-sitting, I love to take dogs to the park, on trails, or just a walk around the neighborhood! I adjust my care giving based on what you/your dog prefer - if you'd rather me play fetch or tug-of-war in home rather than going outside, that's perfectly fine too! I will let your dog outside to go to the bathroom as needed but I know every dogs abilities and preferences are different.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends, family, and clients for the last decade. I have experiencing administering medication as my family dog was diabetic, as well as medications for client’s pets as well. As a college student entering summer time, I have a lot of open availability to hang with your best furry friends! Pet care is an easy fit as I have a hybrid job with extremely flexible hours. I am free throughout the week as well as most weekends! I really do love hanging out with animals, so they receive my full attention!! Safety is a huge priority to having fun and spending time with them, so I remain extremely attentive to make sure they get the best safe care they can!

About: I am a student at OSU. I am majoring in animal science. I am a pre-vet student with a focus in animal behavior. I also volunteer at the animal shelter frequently and have received training in animal handling and dog-walking. I am a student with a flexible schedule and am free weekends and weekdays depending on the time. I am always free in the evenings. Just let me know! I am a detail oriented person. I understand that meeting a stranger is stressful for pets. I always make sure to give the pet their own space and follow the pet care instructions. I also love to provide enrichment for pets to get their brains going and help with boredom.

About: I've been around dogs intermittently, ranging from small to large, lazy to active, and administered medicine to elderly dogs as well. I understand that every dog is different and will do my very best to accommodate to each and every dog I take care of. I have a very open availability, I'm only away for ~10hrs spread out between two days during the weekdays. I can pop for however long or stay for a couple of hours! Whatever the pet needs I can provide. I keep a watchful, attentive eye on the pets I care for. I give them my full attention when playing with them, and whenever they ask for attention. I treat all animals with respect and play with them in a style suited for each individual personality.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have experience in senior and puppy care. I love dogs and have cared for ones of all sizes. I’m currently volunteering so I’ll have plenty of free days and weekends to watch and care for animals. My days are fairly free and I’m open for last second bookings. I have experience in crate training two dogs while providing them with a safe and comfortable experience. I also have a safe fenced yard with two friendly dogs.

“Isa did the most amazing job taking care of my fur babies! She sent me tons of pictures and is a wonderful communicator. I swear I came home and my house was cleaner than I left it and my babies looked so well cared for. I definitely recommend Isa as a pet sitter and will be reaching out to her in the future!”

“Holy wow! I cannot say enough great things about Allyson! From the very first interaction she was communicative, friendly, and respectful. She took SUCH good care of my cats while I was away. It’s easy to see she really loves what she does. I would recommend Allyson for ANYtime you need some help with your pets!”

“Personable and reliable! Cats loved her.”

“I had Trina do drop in visits twice a day for 10 days to care for my two rambunctious cats (this was my second time using Trina as a sitter). She went out of her way to find ways to keep the boys entertained during her visits. The cats also have a very accurate sense of time, so I'm sure they appreciated the fact that she showed up on time for all of the 20 visits. Trina sent pictures of them sitting in the window waiting for her arrival. I'll gladly book my future pet sitting needs with Trina.”

About: I've been an animal lover as long as I can remember. When I was 9 years old, my Dad got me my first Golden Retriever for Valentine's Day 1998. Her name was Star. I wanted a Golden because I fell in love with Shadow from "Homeward Bound". Star was my best friend, and we trained together in Canine Good Citizenry and agility. She could jump through hula hoops, over my arm, and she knew all sorts of tricks. I also love horses and used to spend summers and spring breaks on my cousin's farm in Apopka, Florida where she was the Barn Manager for a gal who rode in the Irish Olympics for the Equestrian Team. I had my own horse when I was younger, but we sadly had to sell her when my mother passed away when I was 9 years old. I've had dogs and cats off and on my entire life, but sadly, I just recently moved to Oregon and do not have any pets of my own right now for a few reasons: The first is that I'm working diligently to get established in Oregon and currently have a Mon-Thursday schedule with the City of Salem that requires me to be away from home for over 10 hours a day. Second, my roommate has a sick and aging cat who is not doing well, and we do not want to stress him out by adding pets to the house right now. Hopefully, my roommate will be able to reconsider when things change, but for now, Bok Choy (and his comfort) is our main priority at my house. Third, I'm hoping to move my Dad out to Oregon within the next 3 years, but for now, he is living alone as a retiree in Georgia, where I grew up. He is very attached to our dog Hank, and even though I'm definitely Hank's favorite person, I couldn't stand the thought of separating those two because I felt like my Dad needs Hank more than I do as Hank is his reason to get up in the morning! I miss Hank more than words can express, but I think we made the right call because Hank does not like being alone, and Dad can accommodate this as he is retired whereas I am in the main career years. I have previous dog sitting experience, but sadly, my identity was hacked, and I lost all of my photos on my Facebook account and lost many of my contacts through my old email address that I lost access to. I have also done amateur dog training and hope to get a professional certification in dog training within the next 12 months. I am happy to house sit during my work week if you only have cats that need tending after office hours. I won't be accepting house sitting for dogs unless there is an understanding of my work schedule and the dog has access to a doggy door and a yard or puppy pads are used during the day. I would highly recommend finding a sitter who can be with your dog during the business day instead of requesting me if you have dogs and need assistance during my work week (Mon-Thurs). This is a Side Hustle for me, but it also the more meaningful of my jobs because I love animals more than anything else in this world, and being around them is good for my mental health. I currently work Monday-Thursday until 4:30PM so it will be difficult for me to provide overnight dog sitting until Thursday after 5 PM unless your dog has access to a doggy door or puppy pads. I would highly recommend finding a sitter who does this full time if you need assistance during business hours Monday-Thursday. When I am at your house, your pet is my priority. If they need exercise or stimulation, we will make that happen. I will almost feel guilty for getting paid for it because it will literally be my pleasure. I will ask you to leave detailed instructions that will make my life easier and expect you to extend trust to me to do my job well. I understand it is difficult and that trust is earned and not freely given, but we need to have a clear discussion before you leave about what your expectations are so I can decide If I can meet those in a way that will not cause me undue anxiety. If you need someone after 5PM Mon-Thursday or anytime on the weekends, I am your sitter!
