Cat Sitting Cold Spring

About: I have decades of experience around cats and dogs - in the home and with extended family pets, and then started pet care for others as a teen. Through my teens and 20s I consistently dog sat, did scheduled walks out of others’ homes, or cat play/feed visits. I’ve loved each and every pet: from Great Dane siblings to cats that rule the house and play it cool. I grew up with cats and have long term cared for a Vizsla dog beloved to me, as my own. I have experience with animals that do not get along with other animals, or take a while to get used to humans (I’ve always had an affinity for these guys and allowed them the space and time to grow comfortable with me). I live in Portland, OR but am from the Hudson Valley and back in the area to be closer to my father who is on hospice with a terminal illness. I am reactivating my Rover profile because I am working from my laptop some hours a week here and there (I choose the hours) and spending some time with my father each week. All of my days are flexible and I’d be open to arrangements based on need. An animal to hang with and care for would be really lovely at this time. My days are all flexible. I make my own hours at work and am only working 8-16 hours a week due to being on intermittent FMLA. Several days a week I would be out of the house for portions during the day to spend time with my father in Fishkill, NY. Based on directive and to minimally disrupt their routines and comforts. I adapt easily and I find I have a good energy for animals to adapt to being around me—not forcing anything and just letting them lead the way in terms of their comfort level.

About: I’m a total cat person with four of my own, so my day-to-day is all about feline care. I'm well-versed in the practical side of things, like sticking to strict feeding routines and giving oral or topical meds, but I also love getting to know different personalities. I have a real soft spot for shy or anxious cats and take a go-at-their-own-pace approach to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m currently working a hybrid schedule and have time during my days at home to come care for your pets, and can also do early mornings and evenings. When I'm sitting for your cats, I focus on sticking to their normal routine so they feel completely safe. I know cats can act a little differently when their humans are away, whether that means eating a bit less, hiding, or changing up their habits, so I keep a close eye on their behavior without pushing them. I take my cues from your cat, whether they want non-stop playtime, cuddles, or just a quiet presence while they settle in. I'm also fully comfortable with oral or topical meds, precise feedings, and litter upkeep, and you'll get daily updates and photos after every visit so you always know how they're doing.

About: I have extensive experience providing care for pets of all ages, ranging from energetic puppies to senior animals with special needs. With puppies, I focus on consistent routines that support their growth and development, including feeding on schedule, basic training reinforcement, safe playtime, and gentle socialization. For adult and older pets, I provide attentive care that includes administering medication, monitoring health changes, assisting with mobility challenges, and maintaining a comfortable and stress-free environment. Currently avaliable 24/7 and boarding, until further notice. At this time my attention and serivces is 100% on the pet that i provide care for. When caring for pets in my home or my clients’ homes, safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a secure environment by keeping spaces clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, while following each owner’s specific routines and guidelines. I build trust through reliability, clear communication, and treating every pet with the same love and respect I give my own. Whether it’s providing a calm space for rest, safe playtime, or attentive supervision, I ensure pets feel comfortable and owners have peace of mind knowing their companions are in caring hands.

About: I grew up in a household always with a pet and sometimes two. Having mostly taken care of small/medium sizes dogs and some large. Ive pet sit before for different friends and family, taking care of a variety of breeds, all the way from Chihuahuas and Jack Russel Terriers to Huskies and Golden retrievers. Currently I have no pets permanently living with me since I moved away from home for college. But on occasion I pet sit for my parents or take their dog to doggy day care. Im a part time college student and I do all my schooling online, so i'm always home. I do work in the evenings for 4-6 hours but I live with my sister who is a web designer and is often home too. I currently live in a townhouse, which has plenty of room for your furry friend. I don't mind your doggo lounging on the furniture or sleeping on the bed with me. I can feed your pet based on whatever schedule you have them on. There's plenty of grassy area in the communal living area and a near by park to take your pup on daily walks. I also love to give photos and video updates of your pets stay with me.

“Stephanie takes great care of all of our pets, is quick to respond to questions/concerns about them, and was able to accommodate our booking on a day's notice due to a family emergency that required us to travel immediately. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, I have owned and cared for multiple breeds of dogs and cats, big and small, and been a pet sitter for friends and family on and off for the last 10 years. As a result of my experience as a pet parent and sitter I am very comfortable with most breeds. I also have limited experience training full grown dogs as well as puppies. I am available for walks, check-ins, or pet sitting every day. I am also available for boarding on a case by case basis. My work schedule allows me to be present for most of the day, so I can remain attentive and take plenty of walk and play breaks. During the times that I am gone I am able to crate them if that is your preference or they can have free access to the main part of the house and I will check in on them regularly through the doggie cams. I am able to dog sit in your home as well as in my own home, which has a large amount of indoor space that they can roam around in, as well as a partially fenced back yard that they can play in on a long leash with my supervision. I have plenty of time for walks and play breaks during the day. And during the few hours a day that I am out of the house, they can be crated, or they can roam around the main part of the house. I check in on them every half hour through the doggy cams set up in the house. I am comfortable walking, feeding, and if necessary, providing medication on the schedule and in the manner that you prefer.

About: • Specialized Senior Pet Care – Gentle handling, mobility support, medication administration, and extra patience for slower-paced walks or special routines. • Health & Comfort Focused – Attentive to changes in mood, appetite, or mobility, with prompt updates if something seems off. • Customized Care – From joint-friendly play to warming up meals, I tailor every visit to your pet’s needs. • Reliable & Communicative – Daily updates with photos and videos so you feel connected and reassured. • Compassionate & Calm – I take my time, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and never rushed. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays when needed. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to your pet’s feeding, walking, and medication times. Consistency is key, so I make sure my visits are always on time and unrushed—your pet gets my full attention every time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and their animals with the same respect and care as I would my own. I follow the pet’s regular routines—feeding, walking, playtime, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure fresh water is always available, litter boxes are cleaned, and living areas are tidy. If medications are needed, I administer them exactly as directed. I also spend quality time giving affection and companionship, so your pet feels secure while you’re away. Before leaving, I ensure the home is secure, lights and doors are as you prefer, and you receive an update with photos so you know everything is safe and well.

About: Hello I am Julieanna. I have been working with dogs for the past 8 years and I have been a dog trainer/sitter for the past few years and now I’ve worked at a veterinary hospital for the past 2 years. I know how hard it can be to balance taking care of your pet(s) and work/life. I have a dog and a cat myself and I would want someone I can trust taking care of them. I hope to be the person you ask for help. I’m currently working full time so my schedule isn’t completely free but I am fairly flexible with my schedule. I am off on Fridays and have some availability on Saturdays depending on my work schedule. I will ask the client if there are any rules in their homes for their pet. I will listen to directions and make sure the pet is safe and happy.

“Thanks so much for a smooth visit for our cats !!”

About: I have had animals my whole life. I’m able to give dogs and cats medication and will treat them as my own while you’re away so you don’t have to worry. I used to travel a lot and I know how stressful it could be to find someone you can trust that will give your baby the best care. I currently work from home and have a big house with a fenced in yard so the dogs can get their exercise. My schedule is very flexible. Feel free to schedule a meet and greet before you book! I have a large fenced in yard and my home is away from high traffic areas. If your pup likes the water, I also have a pool. I can also crate your pup if needed. If your pup likes the car I can take them with me for the day.

About: About Me🫶🏻 Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I work remotely so I have plenty of time to give attention and love to your baby! I grew up in a household with large dogs and was involved in their daily care from puppyhood through their senior years. I have experience caring for dogs with health issues, including administering extra attention to senior and sick dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, whether that’s high energy playtime, structured walks, gentle senior care, or simply companionship and reassurance while you’re away. I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely invested in making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own. I truly can’t wait to meet your pup and spend time giving them the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I’m self-employed with the ability to work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my days around your pet’s needs. My husband and I are both big animal lovers. We don’t currently have pets of our own, which is one of the reasons I’m so happy to be on Rover! I have lot of time, attention, and love to give to yours. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought, they’ll be a welcomed part of our daily routine while you’re away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. For walks and drop ins, I focus on safe outings, fresh food and water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m mindful of energy levels, weather conditions, or any special instructions you provide. For overnight care in your home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, walks or litter care, medication if needed, companionship, and ensuring your home is left clean and secure. I’m attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety, making sure to communicate with you so you have live updates on your baby🫶🏻 If your pet likes to go outside, I’m happy to take them for a long hike on trails in the area, or a normal leash, walk, whatever you would typically do with them! Whether care takes place in my home or yours, your pet will receive consistent attention, supervision, and love treated as if they were my own.

“Sandra was very attentive and interested in learning about my kitty. She kept me posted while I was away and asked questions when she needed. She is very pleasant and clearly loves to care for animals.”

“Theo did an excellent job taking care of our cats. We booked him to house sit our two cats while we were away for nine days. He followed all of our instructions, and we came home to happy cats. He has a deep understanding of cat psychology, and he spent a ton of time interacting with our cats. We really appreciate him going above and beyond and will be booking him again!”

About: I’ve cared for Great Danes, doodles, labs, hounds, puppies, kittens, cats, turtles and gerbils and everything in between my entire life. Your pet is in the best possible hands! I work from home in a very dog and cat friendly building with amazing walking paths and dog parks in very short distance. I love the outdoors and it would be my pleasure to take your furry one out for frequent walks, runs and play time. I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule and it’s the perfect environment for your fluffy cat. If you prefer your pet to stay at home, I’m happy to come and offer my attention there as well! I offer a safe, calm, loving environment where your pet can cuddle on the sofa or play tug of war with their stuffy. I have had dogs my entire life, puppies to seniors and have cat sat for my bestie for 10 years for her two cats as she traveled extensively. I can manage medications (including insulin shots for dogs and cats), special diets, frequent walks, a clean, neat environment (I have a small dog of my own that I share with my ex so could either look after your pet with or without her, depending on your comfort level). Your fur baby can roam free in my two bedroom apartment and I love cuddles on the couch and sleeping in the bed with me without a problem!
