Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Irvington

“Jiaji was a fantastic sitter for our two kittens (5-6 months old)! She is very communicative and thorough in her visits and care notes. She went above and beyond to give added care when the kittens needed a bit more attention and some medication application. She also took very good care of our home. Highly recommend!”

About: I have 9 years of hands-on animal rescue experience including fostering, TNR work and caring for pets from outdoor rescues. Through this volunteer work and my unconditional genuine love for all animals, I’ve learned to be patient, observant, and gentle, giving each animal the time and care they need to feel safe and comfortable. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I make sure I have the time and flexibility to give each pet my full attention. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and unhurried visits so pets feel relaxed and well cared for. I’m especially comfortable caring for rescue pets and understand that trust can take time, so I always move at each pet’s pace and respect their individual boundaries.

About: I have several years of experience in dog care, I offer a personalized, loving and responsible service. I specialize in the care of puppies, as well as in the accompaniment of older dogs. What sets me apart is my focus on the emotional well-being of each pet: I don't just take care of it, but I connect. I adapt to their routines, their fears and their needs, as if they were part of my own family. In addition, I send daily updates with photos and comments so that the guardians are always calm. My commitment is to create a safe, stimulating and loving environment, so that your furry friend is happy even when you are not around. Pet care is an essential part of my day-to-day life. I organize my routine according to the needs of each furry friend, ensuring enough time for walks, feeding, play, rest and personalized attention. Whether it's during the week or on weekends, I always reserve specific spaces to provide quality care, without haste and with a lot of dedication. For me, it's not just another task of the day: it's a responsibility that I enjoy and value deeply. Each visit or walk is an opportunity for connection, affection and trust. Whether I take care of pets in my home or in the client's home, my priority is always their safety, well-being, and comfort. I make sure that each space is safe, free of dangerous objects, and adapted to their needs (such as quiet rest areas, play areas, and constant access to fresh water). In my house, dogs are integrated as part of the family: they are not in cages or locked up, but they share spaces with me, with constant supervision, daily walks, and lots of love. I follow their usual routines to make them feel at home, and I keep the environment clean, ventilated, and respectful of the environment. When the care is in the client's home, I absolutely respect their instructions, their rules, and the pet's space. I maintain the cleanliness, routine, and tranquility of the animal to avoid any stress. In addition, I maintain fluid communication with the guardians so that they are always aware of how their furry friend is doing.

“Jessica, is exceptional, she took great care of my two dogs. She sent me adorable pictures and kept me informed about their well-being during her visits. I highly recommend her services and will definitely rebook her whenever I travel.”

About: I’ve been lucky to care for dogs, cats, and bunnies through every stage of life, from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve also pet sat for others for extended periods of time, including 4 to 6 weeks at a time, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I care for each pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and comfort level so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, all dog sizes, and pets who need medication or a little extra attention. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, cuddly, independent, or in their senior years, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and never alone. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting based on your pet’s needs. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and companionship. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I know it can feel stressful to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I do everything I can to make the experience as smooth and reassuring as possible for both you and your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. Whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, litter box care, cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure their needs are met with patience and attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and keeping their routine familiar helps them feel secure while you’re away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. Some pets love lots of interaction and play, while others prefer a calmer approach and need time to build trust. I’m happy to adapt my care to what makes your pet feel most comfortable and relaxed. Safety is extremely important to me. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, and home access, and I always double-check that pets are secure before entering or leaving the home. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or anything else that may be important, and I’ll communicate with you promptly if I notice any concerns. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, comfortable pet and have complete peace of mind knowing they were cared for with kindness, responsibility, and genuine affection.

“Ziying was a wonderful cat sitter for our drop-in visits. She is very kind, caring, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated before visit and shared lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. My cats were well taken care of, and I felt completely at ease. I would definitely book Ziying again in the future and highly recommend her.”

“Tianying was thoughtful and communicative and shared lots of updates with us when she came to check in on our cats, even though coco was hiding!”

About: I genuinely care about animals and treat them like family. I enjoy spending time with them and build strong emotional bonds. Many of my friends trust me to care for their pets because I am patient, reliable, and attentive to their needs. I work from home and can regularly visit your home to spend time with your pets, feed them, and play with them on weekdays and weekends. I primarily care for pets in my clients’ homes because I believe they feel safest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend extended time with pets during the day — providing companionship, playtime, feeding, and regular check-ins rather than only short visits. When I am in a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow all house rules and care instructions. I keep doors and windows secure, ensure pets stay in safe areas, and never bring visitors or outside animals into the home. I follow each pet’s daily routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, cleaning, and medication if needed, so their lifestyle remains consistent and stress-free. I pay careful attention to body language and behavior to make sure pets feel relaxed and emotionally supported. I provide frequent updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and trustworthy environment — and to care for every pet with the same patience and respect I would give to my own family.

“Alex was excellent with our boy (cat). Alex is very patient, calm and caring pet sitter i can see he is true animal lover. He followed all the instructions during the visit. He even made sure to take the package from door step and put it inside in our absence. I strongly recommend him and will be booking him again for future visits”

About: Hi! I'm Natalie and I'm looking forward to possibly getting to know you and your fur babies! A little about myself: I'm very detail oriented and caring, meaning that your pets will be watched carefully and respectfully. I've been around dogs my whole life and currently have three of my own. I'm open and communicative and I'm always willing to connect with you. I'm a recent college graduate from San Diego State and a Bay Area native! I'm currently back home after graduation and looking for a job in the media industry, currently with a lot of free time on my hands! I'm starting to book for Bay Area residents starting June 14th, 2026 after moving back from San Diego! I will make sure to follow rules that the pet is familiar with (for example: no jumping on couches; going outside for bathroom breaks, etc.) and if the owner is currently training the pet, I will help with that as well.

“I was initially apprehensive of leaving Oreo with a sitter, since he's a strong XL dog who can be reactive to other dogs. But I knew he was in safe hands with Su. Su took wonderful care of our dog during her drop in visits, and gave us cute pictures of Oreo with each of her visits. I didn't have to worry at all about Oreo during my trip.”

About: I have been taking care of pets basically all my life, at my grandma house we use to have a lot of animals, and she taught me the love that they need and now I want to keep sharing that love. I’m a staying at home mom for now so I have most of the time free to play with animals, give them love and take care of them. At my house we have plenty of space where they can stay and play and where I’m able to take care of them all the time

“Jinhao was wonderful! He kept updating me throughout the whole visit, which really gave me peace of mind. I loved receiving the updates and photos, and it was clear that he took great care of my dog. He’s reliable, attentive, and very thoughtful. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great dog walker!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover! I grew up with dogs and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes. I currently work from home, so any pet I babysit will have my full attention, lots of love, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe and happy while you’re away! I’m home all day — giving your cat plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I go out sometimes during the afternoon, it’s usually for a bit of exercise, dancing, or volunteering, Being home most of the time allows me to create a safe, engaging, and loving environment for your feline friend, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I live in a single family house with fenced yard with my husband—just the two of us—right in front of a park. Our home is a calm and safe space for cats, with plenty of cozy spots to relax. I can create a personal area for your cat if they need their own space, or they are welcome to lounge in the living room or stay with me in my room while I work. I always respect each cat’s comfort level and routine.

“Siqin did a drop in visit with our cats. She sent me a lot of videos and pictures and was able to get my super shy kitty to come out for pets and his meds. He usually avoids strangers for days. Excited to have her come back to see them again in two weeks for our next trip. The pictures/videos made me feel so much better about being away from them.”

“We are regulars with Shirley because she is awesome. She is reliable, on time, and always sends detailed Rover card with information about the visit and lots of pictures. We feel that our cats are safe with Shirley!”

“I felt very comfortable going away and leaving my pets in Aurora’s care. She is very attentive to my pets needs and always gave extra loves. I really appreciate her communications messages to provide updates. This was my second time using Aurora and won’t be my last. I would highly recommend her if you want the best care for your pet while you are away.”

Jennifer E.

“Katelyn was so sweet and patient with my fearful Chihuahua mix. We had some communication issues that were NOT her fault, and she did her best to let me know what was going on. I would definitely hire her again if she is willing!”
