Cat Sitting in Mahopac Falls

About: I am an animal lover. I have had animals my entire life ( cats, dogs, snakes, tarantulas, lizards, fish, turtles, and chinchillas). I understand the responsibility it takes to care for all animals . I am very patient and show compassion to the needs of all animals. I am currently the owner of 3 cats and a dog. I find being around animals very relaxing. I enjoy playing with them and look forward to making a connection with the animal so that it feels safe and joyful. I also have a great understanding to the different temperaments of all animals. I would love for the owner and animal to feel that their in good hands at all times. I will follow all the rules and wishes that the owner feels necessary for their animals to feel safe. I am currently working as a school teacher for 21 years. I am available 3:30pm- 10:00pm on weekdays and on the weekend I am available all weekend. Available majority of the summer as well. I have 2 cats that are house bound. I have an Alaskan Klee Kai that is allowed to be out with supervision. We are not fenced in.

“Maria is very patient and kind working with our extremely anxious dog. We are excited to have her build a relationship with her and take care of her when we go away.”

“Lisa was great with communication and a great help with informing me of heating issues so that I was able to call my plumber on New Years Day to clear up the heating issue . So thankful to Lisa 🥰 I will definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter. Thanks again Lisa for everything.”

“Kassidy did a wonderful job! She was on time and she played with my pups. She made them feel comfortable and they were very tired and relaxed when she left at night. I’d recommend her to anyone and I will definitely be using her again. She is fantastic.”

About: I have nearly four years of experience in a veterinary hospital as a kennel technician, where I care for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and medical needs. I am comfortable administering oral and topical medications, monitoring for signs of illness or stress, and handling a wide range of temperaments. Outside of work, I have grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have an 8 year old golden retriever of my own. I have cared for many age ranges from senior to a weeks old. I have also had other pets, including a rabbit, so I understand that every animal has unique needs and personalities. My clinical experience, combined with my lifelong love of animals, allows me to provide attentive and reliable care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I will treat them as if they were my own while you’re away. I am a full time student during the school year but on breaks I work around 3/4 days a week so I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of your furry friends whenever you need me to! I do not have a set work schedule and can adapt relatively easily. I currently have a golden retriever who I love with all my heart. I can do whatever is necessary to care for your pet and have seen many different special instructions at my job. From medications to special diets I have seen a diverse range of special needs that I am well equipped to handle. I am experienced in senior care for pets, exotics, different energy or temperament levels, and many more areas.

About: I'll make sure your pet has the best time possible in your absence. I just love seeing happy animals and helping them become comfortable, confident, and content❤️ I can also teach almost any pet tricks! And I'll gladly watch any pet, big or small. Both on and off of Rover, walking and training dogs is what I do most for work! So, my schedule is constantly changing to ensure every pet gets proper care. My biggest con is that I may be late because of spending extra time with client's pets, but I try to plan for it wherever possible! If a dog needs 10 more minutes, but my time is already up, I'm not just going to leave. I am very respectful of other people's homes, and always will be. I am not currently offering to pet sit in my home, as my family has allergies.

“Thank you so much!! You are so awesome!! Can't wait for next week!!”

About: I've been around dogs all my life and I'm a big advocate for the bully breeds. I know how to hold a big strong dog that just wants to say hello. I can keep a steady pace for walks and hold tightly for random pass-by animals. Keeping commands firm and using the proper commands when the unexpected happens is something I excel in because of my experience of working with children. Fifteen plus years working with children ranging from the ages 3-11. I know a dog is part of the family, I have 2 of my own (a cat too!). I've had 10 plus in pet care and 20 plus years in pet ownership. Let me care for your fur-baby. My schedule is very clear for any pet care needs. I was working part time but now I’m looking for pet care as my job. I’m very watchful and observant from years of child care and from my own pets, I want the pets to be safe all the time.

“I cannot put into words how wonderful this man is . He truly gave my babies- Charlie,Grizzly and Boots awesome care and unconditional love. Every day he sent pictures to me so i would not worry. They were spoiled and truly care for. Thank you Linda & Gus.”

I’m excited to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and boarding for dogs in a calm, cozy home environment. I’m (Chloe) the primary sitter, and my husband, Aaron, will help out and give your pets lots of love when he's around.

During school holidays and long weekends, I’m usually home and happy to offer a safe, cozy place for your dog while you’re out visiting family or traveling.

I’m primarily available weekends (Saturday & Sunday, 8 AM–5 PM), when I’m home to provide lots of attention, walks, and cuddles. I also offer limited weekday evening availability after 4 PM with advance notice, as I work full-time during the week. For boarding, Friday drop-offs after 4 PM work best. During school holidays and long weekends, I’m usually home and happy to offer a safe, cozy place for your dog while you’re out visiting family or traveling. Please note I only host one dog at a time, or up to two dogs from the same household. When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and specific needs (medication, feeding, anxiety triggers) and follow any instructions to maintain a consistent environment. On walks, I use a secure leash, follow your preferred route, and stay mindful of traffic, other animals, and surroundings to make it safe and enjoyable. In your home, I treat your space with respect, keep it tidy, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Your dog’s well-being is my top priority, and I strive to offer them love and care as if they were my own.

About: Animals are basically part of my DNA. I’ve been walking dogs and pet sitting since I was a child, and I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other animals. I’ve also been riding and caring for horses my entire life, which means I’m very comfortable with responsibility, routines, and understanding animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic dogs who love long walks and playtime to seniors who need a calmer pace and extra TLC. I’m great at reading animal cues, keeping routines consistent, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home, so pets are never left alone and are part of my daily routine. My home sits on 3 acres of private property surrounded by a state park, which means lots of space for play and long walks or hikes. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I care for pets by treating them like part of the family, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I stick closely to each pet’s usual routine—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure dogs get plenty of supervised exercise, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I’m attentive to individual needs, whether that means extra activity for high-energy dogs, gentle care for seniors, or patience and consistency with puppies. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Stephanie was awesome with our two dogs! They love her! Everything was done exactly like we asked. This made us feel very comfortable that they were being well cared for. We definitely will be having her care for them again!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life. My dog is a very hyper medium sized shepherd mix, I've had her since she was a puppy, so I've been through the whole messy training process. I love dogs and all the walks that come with it. I am a full-time (dorming) college student, but I am fully available Friday evening to Sunday night. I unfortunately don't have my license just yet, but when I do I will be able to pet sit weekdays too. I prefer to pet sit in the client's home if possible. I have a very social and friendly cat, who doesn't mind staying in her little sanctuary if needed. I have a super friendly energetic dog, who is very playful, which can be overwhelming for some animals.

“Another great experience!!! Jean always leaves my home so nice and my pets happy 😊. I was gone for quite a while this time (honeymoon), and I came home to two very happy cats, my mail inside, and plenty of food/water. I always feel so secure when I know she’s coming around and can actually relax and rest assured they’re in good hands :). No one else I would book with and look forward to having Jean around again!!! ♥️ as always, thank you!! ☺️”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have cared for dog at every size and life stage. From puppies to seniors, I'm happy to cater to your dogs needs. For walks, I have experience with dogs who are pullers and those who like to go at a slower pace. I also have experience cat sitting for a few family friends cats. Just let me know the type of attention your pet needs and I'm happy to cater to them. Also, I am a current online graduate student so I have lots of time to hang out with your furry family members! I'm currently pursuing an online masters degree, which means I am very flexible with my hours. As long as I can bring my computer to get some work done during the day, anytime is fine with me. I would love to cuddle with your pet while watching lectures, and take much needed study breaks to go for a walk or play a game of fetch! I have experience housesitting while watching furry friends. I'm happy to cater to your pets' needs and find what activity is the most fulfilling for them.

“1st time meeting Brendan. I was worried my dogs would be nervous with but they immediately loved him. I’m so glad they were comfortable with him, he was on the floor playing and petting them. I’m so grateful my pups will be in good hands when I’m away.”

“We love Erica! We book her every time we leave town. She’s professional, reliable, and great with cats who need a little extra (medication, etc). Highly recommend!”

Laura G.

“Candice was the sweetest pet sitter for our cat! She was patient with him and communicative with us throughout the time we were away. We would definitely rebook her in the future!”
