Cat Sitting in Astoria

About: I grew up with a beloved dog and four cats with big personalities! I love animals and wish I could have my own again, but until then I derive great enjoyment from playing with and caring for others’ pets! My schedule is currently very flexible for house sitting and walking dogs. I cannot house pets in my home right now, however, I am open to house sitting. When I am with your pet, it will stay within my sight. If your pet wants to play or be pet, I will give that attention, but I won’t force attention on a more independent animal. I strictly follow instructions for feeding, watering, medication, walking times, and litter box cleaning provided by owner.

“I’d highly recommend Gina for any cat sitting needs!! She did daily check-ins for our two cats for a week and a half while my wife and I were on vacation. We recently moved into our new place so we were a bit in disarray. Though for example, she brought her own broom to keep the area clean from litter! She truly went above and beyond! And of course most importantly both of our cats loved having Gina around!! ? We would definitely rebook with her for our future cat sitting needs! 11/10!”

“Jasmine is amazing! She stopped in to check on our kitties while we were gone. She must be the cat whisperer--we have a kitty that's usually antisocial but she loved Jasmine! Very responsive sitter and gave us great Rover card and photos. We will definitely be booking Jasmine for future trips! :)”

“Becca was fantastic with both my cats and took great care of them. One of my cats has special dietary restrictions. She took care of it. I will definitely call her again when needed and would recommend her.”

About: Hi there, We’re Leigh & Luke — experienced, reliable, and animal-loving sitters. With 15+ years of combined experience in private homes as a nanny, household manager, newborn care specialist, and owner of a domestic staffing agency, I (Leigh) have had the joy of caring for more than just children—pets and entire households have always been a big part of my work. My partner Luke and I are calm, patient, and easygoing — animals naturally seem drawn to us (neighborhood cats often join us on our evening walks!). We deeply understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Luke has a true green thumb—at one point, he cared for his own 28 thriving houseplants—and he’s tended to some truly beautiful gardens. Together, we take great pride in being respectful, responsible, and thoughtful guests in every home we enter. In addition to his love of nature, Luke is a creative professional who owns a production company and works as a documentary filmmaker. We work remotely and have flexible schedules, allowing us to commit to sits across the U.S. but preferably in the PNW and California. Since we travel without children or pets, we can easily adapt to new environments and give your pets our full attention. With years of experience caring for private homes, I understand the importance of arriving with a calm, grounded presence—something pets instinctively respond to. We genuinely love connecting with new people and their animals, and we’re fully vetted and background checked through TrustedHousesitters. It would be an honor to care for your home and your beloved pets with the same attention and affection we’d give our own. Please note that while we are new on here we are happy to share our reviews from Trusted HouseSitters with you as we have been active on there longer. We work remotely and have flexible schedules, allowing us to commit to sits across the U.S. and internationally. Since we travel without children or pets, we can easily adapt to new environments and give your pets our full attention. Our preference is overnight in home care for 3+ days with flexibility for upwards of 1+months. We care for pets in our clients’ homes with the same presence, mindfulness, and affection we’d give our own. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, playtime, garden care, or quiet companionship, we take the time to understand each pet’s needs and personality. We’re calm, observant, and intentional—animals often seem to relax around us naturally. Luke and I work remotely and without children or pets of our own, which allows us to give each home and every animal our full attention. We show up as thoughtful, low-impact guests who respect your space, your privacy, and your pet’s well-being. From cuddles to houseplant care, we handle the little details so you can travel with peace of mind. Ultimately, we believe great pet sitting isn’t just about meeting needs—it’s about creating an atmosphere where your animals feel safe, loved, and seen while you're away.

“Kaitlyn was very sweet and even connected with my very stand-offish Rat Terrier within minutes. On time every day and helped provide peace of mind while I am with my husband in the hospital. Thank you!”

About: I have had pets my entire life and have always been involved in their care, such as feeding and walking them. I also pet sat frequently throughout middle school and high school, and occasionally during college. I cared for a range of pets, including dogs and cats as well as rodents and birds. I choose my own schedule and have the ability to dedicate as much time as possible to take care of and hang out with animals! I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits most days anytime, except Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings between 5pm-10pm. I love spending time with animals, so whether it be while pet sitting or walking I will focus all my attention and energy on your fur baby. I will also take time to go over all care instructions and recommendations and any of your pets quirks so I know how to care for your pet to the best of my abilities.

“Danica was amazing with our Baby Q even though Baby Q was not cooperative!! Danica’s communication was very important to us. Thank you Danica!!”

About: Mother to two four-legged babies, friend to all! Hi there! I’m Faith, a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mama to two sweet girls: Muffins, my 6-year-old orange tabby, and Noralise, my playful American Shorthair. I adopted Muffins when she was 11 months old and Nora at just 2 months, and they’ve been my heart ever since. Before becoming a cat mom, I grew up surrounded by dogs, mostly Beagles and Pit Bulls, so I’m comfortable caring for both small and large breeds. My family’s beloved pit bull, SaSa, lived a long and happy life until age 15/16. I helped care for her throughout her life from 6 months old into her adulthood and then her senior years. I would help her up and down stairs, applying topical creams, warming up kibble with broth, and making sure she stayed comfortable every day. Layla, my red-nosed Pit Bull (you’ll spot her in the Christmas sweater in my photos!), passed in July 2024 at around 10 years old. We shared hundreds of walks, hikes, and car rides, and even the occasional pup cup after vet visits. After her emergency hysterectomy in 2019, I gained valuable hands-on experience giving both topical and oral medications, which I’ve also applied when caring for my cats after they have undergone being spayed, aMuffins dental treatments. From administering flea & tick treatments to preparing raw, dry, or canned meals (plus supplements!), I’ve built strong experience in pet health and daily care. I’m confident in dog walking, safe playtime, and of course, an expert in scratches, snuggles, and making pets feel loved. I truly adore my animals, all animals, and treat every pet I meet as if they were my own. You can trust that your furry friend will be cared for with patience, love, and genuine attention while they’re with me. Im a full time Federal Employee. During most work weeks i’m available around 4:30 pm-8pm. Most weekends my schedule is more opened up for mornings and afternoons. Please message me before booking something M-F if services are needed before 4:30pm. I will do my ultimate best to respond timely! While I do not offer services within my own home for clients. I promise to always respect ones home and belongings. As I would want mine respected. Personally I like to check in on my lazy loafs so I do have in home cameras. If you do too, absolutely no problem at all. For reservations where I am dropping in on a dog or a cat, I would sweep up any tracked litter around the litter box as part of cleaning it out- and with towel or napkins available, wipe doggy paws after outside time if preferred. Again, I would want my own space respected so please communicate with me regarding your needs/expectations.

“Christy was amazing! She took such great care of my pups. She was attentive and responsive and everything you want in a pet sitter. I absolutely recommend her. A gem of a pet sitter!”

“Emily is wonderful. My two cats really like her, even the one that doesn't like strangers, took to her pretty quickly. I will certainly let her care for my cats again in the future.”

“Sarah was great taking care of our 2 bunnies and cat and having peace of mind during our wedding week was invaluable! She was responsive and sent pictures daily. Our house and animals felt like we had only been gone for a day, highly recommend!”

About: I have been working with dogs for 10 plus years. I worked for several years at an Animal Shelter, at a vet office, and have fostered many dogs and cats. If your pet has special needs, I am able to accommodate that as well, as I have personal experience providing medications and working with special needs pups. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to let me know! I work Monday through Friday until 3:30PM. I am available for drop in visits on those days after 6PM, and all day on the weekends for drop ins and walks. Every pet and pet parent have different expectations and needs. Tell me what you need, and we will make sure your pet is getting the best care possible.

“Erica was awesome. George had a surgery the week before Erica came over. She was so kind and reassuring. I felt more secure leaving him when I went to work. I could tell she genuinely cared for him. I definitely recommend Erica!”

“Amazing young lady!! Punctual & responsible and very communicative. Will continue to use her services as long as we’re in town!!”

About: I currently have two dogs and experience with all types and breeds. I work from home and take the dogs for walks/runs on Gearhart beach. I am a very attentive dog mom. I have experience with dog medications, wound care, injections, tick removal. I am mainly available on Fri, Sat, and Sunday for all day and overnight care. I will occasionally be available during the week as well. I have two friendly dogs and a large, but unfenced, yard. Dogs have free reign in the house and can use the furniture and beds.

“Sara was absolutely fantastic! Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve had pets of my own since I was 6 - dogs, cats, bunnies, even grew up caring for livestock in summers on my aunt’s ranch feeding/watering horses, turning out cows, feeding chickens and putting them away etc. I currently have an 8yo GSD and 2 black kitties that we call the Camping Cats because we take them on the road with us in our Airstream. I understand the need for pet care with the difficulty juggling adult responsibilities which takes us away from our homes for 8-12hrs a day. Or the need for a drop-in visit to for full time rv’er that just need someone to check their that trailer is still functioning and running with their pets inside while they’re away on an extended hike. At one time, we’ve had upwards of 30 free range hens and 2 pet bunnies, and I remember the difficulty finding someone to trust to put up my girls for the night. I have experience administering medications to animals as well within reason. I am not a veterinarian. I am a disabled veteran. I focus on my hobbies, stay at home parenting, and playing with my pets. My schedule provides a lot flexibility for me and you to meet your pets needs. I am unable to currently offer care for your pets in my home, but your loves will be treated the same way I baby my animals. Feeding, walking, letting out, bathing, and playing with is the care I provide to ensure your pet’s happiness.

About: Ive grown up constantly having dogs around me. I’ve taken care of all different kinds of breeds so I’m comfortable with all sizes and most temperaments! My schedule is pretty open. I work later in the day so I’m available 10:00am-1:30pm Thurs-sun and Mon-Wednesday are all available! Having my own dog, I understand how important it is that they are comfortable and taken care of! I have a chihuahua with a very impatient bladder and I’m very blessed to live so close to work so I walk home every two hours to let him outside. We go for walks on the beach, hang out in our fenced back yard, or snuggle on the couch:)
