Cat Sitting in Irvington

“Jennie took great care of our two kitties while we were away and kept us updated with lots of photos/videos. I highly recommend her to look after your fur babies any time as she’s a wonderful sitter (and person)!”

“Katrina was great checking in on our 2 cats while we were on holiday. One cat is very skittish but she opened up and played by day 2. Katrina was prompt for all check ins and great with communication (even when we were slow). We will definitely be using her again to watch our babies.”

“Deliris was a great help! She took her time with my kitties and gave them some very needed interaction. She is a great communicator and never left me wondering about what was going on. I would definitely book her again!”

“Amanda was amazing with my two pups! She was super attentive and made sure they were taken care of. Gave me the ease of mind knowing they were loved while I was at work! Will definitely have her again! 😊”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My hands-on experience started in 2015 with my cat Mittens (now 10) and my dog Fluffy (also 10), so I understand the long-term care and attention pets need at every stage of life. In addition to caring for my own pets, I worked at an animal hospital for a year and a half, where I gained valuable experience in animal care. This included feeding pets with special diets, following specific care instructions, and supporting animals with different needs. My combination of personal and professional experience helps me provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet I look after! I am currently home for the summer from college would like to dedicate my afternoons to my future furry friends! I am flexible, so if there is any shifting/accommodations that has to happen that is fine. I care for pets in my client’s home by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and kept in their normal routine while their owner is away. I follow all specific instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, dietary needs, medication if needed, and exercise routines. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they don’t feel stressed or lonely. I treat each home with respect and keep everything clean. I will always provide updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away--I know what its like to miss my pets too!

About: What sets me apart is my ability to be both caring and dependable in moments that require real attentiveness—something I’ve developed through years of working in community programs, internships, and leadership roles. Whether I was leading a team project, supporting a friend, or organizing events through my cycling club, I’ve always been someone who shows up fully and handles responsibility with care. I bring that same energy to pet care—tuning into each animal’s needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or being patient with a senior pet. I’m calm, communicative, and take pride in making both pets and their owners feel secure and understood. As a recent grad preparing for law school and transitioning into the workforce, my schedule is relatively flexible—especially during the weekdays. Pet care has been a grounding and fulfilling part of my routine. It gives me the chance to stay active, present, and connected in a meaningful way while balancing studying and professional goals. I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of it, and I treat every booking with the same level of care and responsibility I bring to my academic and work commitments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I love making sure everyone—pets and people—feels comfortable, safe, and at ease. That’s something I’ve really practiced through leading Catching Wind, the cycling and wellness club I started in college. Creating a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and looked after—whether they were riding for the first time or just needed community—taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how to care for different needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I listen closely, follow instructions, respect your space, and aim to create an environment where your pet feels loved, relaxed, and understood.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 2 years and truly love caring for animals. Along with my experience providing overnight care, I currently work as a veterinary assistant, where I care for both dogs and cats in a professional setting. Working in vet medicine has helped me become comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs, including senior pets and anxious animals. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and routine to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time, so I fit pet care around my work schedule. I’m available on weekends and some Thursdays, which I’ve listed in my availability. I make sure to plan ahead so I can be consistent and give pets proper care and attention when I’m with them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get walks and bathroom breaks, and receive plenty of attention and playtime. I also keep their environment clean and safe and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner.

About: Hello! My name is Kiana, and I'm a 30 year old pet lover with a 3 year old daughter. After recently losing my beloved Shiba Inu, Phoenix, on July 20, 2024, I’ve felt the absence of my furry friend deeply. However, I am excited to return to dog walking and reconnect with the wonderful dogs and their owners I’ve missed so much. Growing up surrounded by a variety of pets, including rabbits, fish, dogs, cats, and birds, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for animals. My previous dog, Cocoa, a Shih Tzu, lived a joyful 14 years, and I cared for two parakeets, Aqua and Flora, until we lost them after Hurricane Sandy. Phoenix was a cherished part of our family, and her memory inspires me to continue providing exceptional care for pets. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a range of dogs from lively puppies to gentle seniors. Each pet is unique, and I treat every one as if they were a part of my own family, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. I’m happy to send photos and videos of your pets to keep you updated while you’re away. With a flexible schedule, I am available for walks and drop-ins within a reasonable radius from home. My approach is positive, energetic, and attentive, making sure your pet is safe and well-cared-for. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves pets and is eager to build new connections, please reach out. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry friends and reconnect with the wonderful pet community. Thank you! As a dedicated mom to a 3 year old daughter and someone who recently experienced the loss of my cherished dog, Phoenix, I truly understand the balance of managing both family and pet care. My daily routine is thoughtfully organized to accommodate the needs of both my child and the pets I care for, ensuring that each receives the attention and care they deserve. My experience as a mother has taught me the importance of flexibility, empathy, and attentiveness—qualities I bring into my pet care routine. I carefully structure my schedule to seamlessly integrate walks and pet care with my family commitments. I am available for dog walks and pet care every day of the week, from Monday to Sunday. I’m happy to adjust timing and activities to match your pet’s needs, ensuring they receive the best care possible. My role as a mom has deepened my understanding of unconditional love and nurturing, which I extend to your pets. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities, and I look forward to providing them with the same loving care I give to my own family. When caring for pets in your home, I pay utmost attention to creating a safe and trusting environment. Before any care begins, I conduct a thorough assessment of the space to identify and address any potential hazards. I familiarize myself with your pet's routine, ensuring a seamless transition in their daily activities. Open communication and trust are key, and I make it a priority to maintain clear and consistent communication with you, keeping you informed of your pet's well-being, activities, and any concerns. Building a strong bond and trust with your pets is fundamental to my approach. I invest time in getting to know your pet's unique personality, preferences, and individual needs. This allows me to tailor the care, ensuring they are comfortable and at ease during our time together. I use positive reinforcement techniques, gentle encouragement, and a calm demeanor to create a trusting relationship with your pet. Safety is non-negotiable. I adhere to safety protocols rigorously to minimize risks and create a secure environment. Additionally, I ensure that all gates, locks, and leashes are secure during walks, providing an extra layer of safety for your pets. A comfortable environment is also essential for your pet's well-being. I pay careful attention to the temperature, lighting, and overall comfort of the space. Cozy bedding, ample toys, and stimulating activities are incorporated to make your pet remain comfortable at home while you're gone, promoting a sense of security and relaxation.

“Jade was absolutely incredible. I have 4 crazy Aussies that are full of energy but also full of love. Jade paid close attention to all my directions and my dogs were so happy to have her come see them every day. She gave them lots of love and worked on tricks with them to keep them engaged. I would recommend Jade to anyone who needs pet sitting or dog walking. She was wonderful.”
