Pet Sitting Jefferson Heights

“Jessy was great. Super pleasant and relaxed. She took such great care of my dogs. She was very punctual and very communicative. Gave great updates and tons of photos of the dogs.”

About: Some of my earliest memories are of spending many weekends and summers during my childhood at my grandparents’ home, helping them take care of chickens, ducks, goats and more. They even made goat cheese! For years, my sister and I begged our parents for a dog, and in 2012, a white Bichon Maltese came into our lives. He’s 15 now and still kicking, giving endless kisses and protesting whenever he has to get his eye drops. Shortly after him, we adopted two more dogs, also Bichon Maltese, and they have since become the cutest little family. I’ve taken care of them for more than 10 years, taking them on walks, feeding them, taking them to the groomers, the vet and more. All of that work is worthwhile and I’ve seen what a pet’s love can do to you: Not only did those three Bichon Maltese cure my mom’s fear of dogs but now she treats them like her children. Beyond them, I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ pets, and now I’m lucky enough to dedicate so much of my time and money to making my own cat, Leela, happy. Growing up with and caring for a pet whose entire life is merely a chapter of my own has only cemented how important it is to give them the best life we can while they’re here with us. That’s what I strive to offer every pet in my care. I work from home most days and my schedule is pretty flexible. While early mornings and afternoons/evenings are generally preferred for drop-in visits/walks, I’m happy to work with your schedule to find something that will work. I have more availability for house sitting on weekends. It’s important that I meet you and your pet beforehand so I can hear how you want your pet to be taken care of (because the pet parent knows best!) Besides that, I always make sure leashes are adjusted properly and securely held with any dogs but especially with those who will take off running when you least expect it. I also make sure all doors are properly closed to prevent any escape attempts and that things cats might enjoy knocking over or nibbling at/eating are safely out of reach.

“Caitlin was great and did a good job. My cat and visiting cousin cat were happy and was on time every day, leaving things as they were. I’d definitely call her again!”

About: I had a dog in my family for around 10 years. He was really the best. It was so fun to watch him grow up and take care of him through it all. I absolutely adore animals and love to give them attention, play with them and learn with them. I work full time but have different hours and sometimes will be available in the mornings, sometimes the middle of the day, and sometimes weekends! I will always have time for animals. I provide a safe and comforting environment for dogs and humans alike. I am very considerate and observant of everything around me so I will always make sure everyone is safe and having a great time with everything they need. I am very respectful of people’s space and always make sure to leave things the way I found them.

About: I have been doing drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight house sitting for cats or dogs on Rover for over a year, and I’m happy to provide daily exercise, playtime, feeding, and medication support as needed. I enjoy taking dogs out on long walks, keeping pets company if they get anxious when you leave, and/or maintaining consistency in their routines. Basically, I can tailor my care to fit your needs and their personality. I grew up with mid-size dogs and frequently watched smaller dogs for family friends in Pittsburgh. I was a devoted cat dad to my black cat for four years. Since then, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, including seniors with specific feeding and medication schedules. I'm attentive and responsive to every animal’s unique rhythm. I currently work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to drop in or house-sit for quality time with your pets during the day. I enjoy staying active and love being outdoors—so your dog will always get a good walk (and a happy walking buddy!). For overnight stays, I treat every home and pet with the respect and care I’d want for my own. Overall, I pride myself on being responsible, respectful, and kind—treating every home and animal as if my own. As a freelancer who works remotely, I have a flexible schedule that lets me give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m also available for house sitting and overnights provided there's stable wifi. I am a trustworthy house sitter/ walker who priotizes clear communication on expectations and house standards. I do not offer pet care from my own home.

“Ellen took wonderful care of our cat Seven while my husband and I were out of town for several days. She sent detailed updates daily with photos, made sure to give Seven lots of playtime with his favorite toys, and kept our home in spotless condition as well. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a responsible, communicative sitter who loves cats!”

About: Leaving the dog behind is often the most stressful part of traveling. You’ll be able to enjoy your time away knowing that I’ll treat your dog with a ton of love and care. I understand your dog is your family, because I consider my dog to be part of my family. I’ll treat your dog the way I would want someone to care for mine—making sure they’re happy and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet is young and energetic or older and needing extra care, I'll give them the love and attention they need. I'm a freelance writer who works from home with no set schedule, so my days are very flexible. I can accommodate whatever you and your pet need. I'll treat your pet like my own. I'll be sure they receive any food or medication required, with an extra dose of love and attention. I'm also respectful of your space and privacy.

“Diana was super communicative and didn’t miss anything! Would love to book with her again :)”

About: I’ve had animals throughout my entire life. When I was younger, my parents ran a boarding kennel and my father bred dogs. I grew up on a farm with about five horses, 35 dogs, several cats, a bird, lizards, fish, hermit crabs, etc. My father trained my brother and I to race sled dogs at a young age and we did that for several years along with horseback riding. With that being said, I have extensive experience with different types of animals, and I am confident that you’re fur baby will be in good hands and have the time of their life while under my supervision. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and I hope to hear from you soon! I am currently working at a private residence where I make my own hours , so I have plenty of time to take care of your baby! I can accommodate you and your pet(s)in whichever way you desire! I usually bring my little tuxedo cat with me on trips if it’s an overnight, but if you would rather me not, we can always work something out and discuss our options! (:

About: I currently own an amazing certified Good Boy Austalian Cattle Dog and two snuggly cats. I have have always owned at least one pet, both cats and dogs since I was little. I have done a decent amount of pet sitting for neighbors and friends. I have even had to give oral meds to one dog I dog sat. If you have any questions, please ask! Dogs will always get at least a 15 minutes walk because my dog usually needs a longer one. I sometimes give my cats and dog breakfast and then usually give the dog a quick 15 walk in the morning before leaving for work at 7:30 am. I get back home around 3:00 pm and usually give my dog his actual long walk between 40 and 70 minutes depending on weather. I feed the animals and then have dinner and usually just relax and snuggle on the couch with at least one of the fur kids. I fit in other cleaning and what not in there but I always make it a point to walk my doggo and make sure they get snuggles since I am gone for a good portion of the day. I have room for a crate for a crate trained dog. I have a moderately sized backyard that is well fenced in. My dog is a counter surfer so we have baby gates for both the kitchen and the extra bedroom. The extra bedroom serves as the cat room so the cats have a dedicated space. Stuff can be adjusted if you have a cat not used to dogs, so they can have that entire room or vice versa our cats can go in there for a dog that is not cat friendly. We only live five minutes from Marbletown Animal Hospital of any emergencies arise needing urgent care if your vet is not available.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was seven. I’ve been riding horses for eight years and just love any animal I can be around. I will walk dogs, bathe them, feed them, sit them basically do anything. I’ve had many dogs I’ve watched in the past and everyone was satisfied. I go to work part time at a vet clinic in Albany NY. My weekends are usually free unless I have a half day shit at the clinic based on my schedule I can always make sure to get to your house and look after your pet at any time if available. i take care of my own animals with meticulous care and love. I have 3 dogs and 7 cats and 1 horse so i know everything there is to know about taking care of them
