Cat Sitting Palisades

“Erin did a fantastic job watching our two cats for a week. She was attentive and responsive, asking clarification questions during the meet and greet and provided updates during the week. Both of our cats have specific feeding instructions, which were followed without issue. Erin even came to care for our cats during a crazy rain storm, which was much appreciated! We would definitely book her again!”

“Corrine is meticulous and adhered to all the instructions that I left for my cat. All the photos that she took showed how happy my cat was. I would 100% recommend her to other people. Thank you so much Corrine!”

“Melaina went above and beyond caring for our cats! They were so well taken care of—fed, brushed, given plenty of attention, and clearly loved while we were away. When the power went out and she wasn’t able to get in during her first visit, she waited and came back later to make sure she could get in and check on them, making a total of three visits that day. We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, caring, and reliable sitter!”

About: I’m a college student with 4 years experience who loves dogs, enjoys spending time playing with them, and really likes meeting and caring for new dogs whenever I get the chance. I have experience caring for dogs and puppies through helping family members with their pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing loving, reliable care to keep pets safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for.” I follow a daily schedule to care for my cats, including feeding them in the morning and evening, cleaning litter boxes regularly, providing fresh water, and spending time playing and bonding with them throughout the day. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for pets by following their routine closely, ensuring their space is clean and secure, giving them fresh food and water, and offering gentle, attentive care and companionship.

“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 have about 20 years of experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, backgrounds, and temperaments, including strays, purebreds, puppies, senior dogs, working breeds, and dogs in multi-pet households. I have experience with basic training, puppy care, medication, special diets, enrichment activities, structured routines, and dogs who need a little extra patience or attention. I’m also comfortable caring for reactive dogs and understand how important consistency, awareness, and following a pet parent’s established routine can be. I’m happy to work with dogs of all life stages and always try to provide the same attentive, dependable care I would want for my own. I’m very flexible and happy to work around your schedule. This is because I prefer to focus on only a couple of clients at a time to ensure that all pets in my care are receiving the absolute best support and attention I can provide. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I understand that I’m being trusted with both a beloved animal and someone’s personal space. I’m respectful of your home, belongings, routines, and boundaries, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide. That can include walking your dog along a preferred route, ensuring your cat has their favorite toy or treat, keeping to established feeding and exercise schedules, or taking them on approved outings such as a park visit or another familiar activity. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as comfortable and consistent as possible while giving you peace of mind that both your pet and your home are being treated with care.

About: I grew up in a big family with lots of pets including dogs, cats, rodents, and birds. I have been successful in self-taught basic training of dogs. I am a graduate student who plans to have pet care be a source of income that fits around my schedule. I have classes during the week and currently live on campus which is why I cannot provide care in my home. I have owned many pets in my life and have cared for different ages from puppies and kittens to seniors. I enjoy promoting enrichment activities and physical exercise.

“Excellent Cat Sitter!, I let my cat for 10 days with Wilson, he sent me videos and pictures every day, answered my questions always, I highly recommend him! Thank you very much Wilson !!”

About: Hi! I'm a college student working toward vet school, so caring for animals isn't just a job for me, it’s what I genuinely love doing. I've had my own cat for 5 years, so I know what it's like to be a pet parent. I've also spent plenty of time watching other people’s dogs and cats, from very high energy puppies to older dogs who just want a quiet environment. I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. If something’s wrong I will reach out immediately. Since I'm on summer break, I have a pretty open schedule, but I do like to be upfront about my specific availability. I'm available Monday through Friday all day. On Saturdays, I'm available after 4:00 PM. I can also do evening visits, but I wrap things up by 10:00 PM. My schedule is pretty open until I start class the 28th of August. I will have class on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11am to 1:45pm and Fridays from 10am to 1:45pm. I know routines are really important to pets, so I'll work around whatever schedule your pet is used to, like midday walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening check-ins before bed. Consistency is very important! I only provide care in your home because I believe that pets are more comfortable in their own environment, with their own things and smells. I'm really careful with doors or any gates and will always make sure to double check every exit to make sure your pet stays safely inside. I will treat your home the way I'd want mine treated, I will clean up after myself, wash any bowls I use, and leave things tidy. I'll also send any updates/photos at every visit so you can see how things are going. I will also save your vet's contact info, just in case of any emergency. I always like to be prepared for anything.

“Jenna did a great job. Highly recommended to care for your cat or dog”

“Hannah took care of our old man kitty for a week and she did such a wonderful job. She followed our instructions, gave Riley lots of love and care, and took care of our place while we were away. We will be hiring her again and recommend her highly! Thx Hannah !!”

About: Hi parents! My name is Ashley and I'm a very trustworthy and outgoing person. Having shared my life with pets, I understand the profound connection between humans and animals, and this forms the foundation of my exceptional care. My personal history with pets, ranging from energetic puppies to wise seniors, has shown me an understanding of the diverse needs each furry friend has. I can't wait to work with you and your pets! I have plenty of time during to week for work with our fur friends so please reach out and we could always work something out! I'm very flexible. Communication is key, and I keep you updated with regular updates and photos, ensuring peace of mind while you are away. I also love include established routines and engaging activities that cater to each pet's unique preferences. My goal is to create a stress-free and enjoyable experience for both pets and their owners!

About: I grew up caring for both big and small dogs (and horses!), so I love dogs of all ages and sizes! I promise to treat your furry family like my own while helping to maintain your pet's daily routine, including walks, meals, play (in the home and/or at dog parks), baths, cuddles, and whatever else your pet loves. I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian, so I spend most of my day talking with people. Here, I continue to learn the value and importance of connecting with others. As your pet's sitter or walker, I prioritize communication and comfortability with you to ensure that you feel excited about your pets care. I know I am! I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian. I spend my mornings at the hospital from about 10am-2pm. On any day, I am available either early in the morning or afterwards for walks or play time with your pups. On weekends, I am available for boarding. Every third week, I work from home and would love to board and/or care for your furry family for the week. It's priority to me to maintain the routine your pup knows and loves. I hope to get to know you and your pet so I can incorporate your pet's favorite walking routes, parks, toys, food, and general activity into the care I provide. On a side note, I am a distance runner! If you would like your pet to get some extra energy out, I would love to run with them.

“Amanda was a great sitter! My cat has hyperthyroidism and I was worried about him going too long without medication and water(he needs to drink a lot). She followed all instructions and made sure to give him his meds. He's a grumpy cat, but they seemed to get along. Will definitely book again. Thanks Amanda!”

About: I provide calm, attentive pet care for dogs and cats who are happiest with plenty of individual attention and a familiar routine. I grew up around animals and have cared for pets for family and clients on both sides of the Atlantic. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person looking after your pet and, for house sitting, your home. For boarding and daycare, I offer a quiet home environment in White Plains with a large fenced yard and no pets of my own. I keep bookings intentionally limited, which means your dog is not entering a busy home full of unfamiliar animals. I especially enjoy caring for dogs who are very attached to their people, a little anxious in new environments, older, or simply happiest with more personal attention. I work from home and genuinely enjoy having a dog as part of my day. Depending on their personality and routine, that might mean long walks, time in the yard, play, lounging around the house, or simply having someone nearby. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, medication, and sleep routines as closely as possible because I believe good pet care should feel familiar to them, not like their entire life has suddenly changed because their people went away. I also offer in home pet and house sitting for animals who are most comfortable staying in their own space. I treat every home with respect and keep pets on the routines they know, whether that means a 7 AM walk, medication at a specific time, or a cat who has very strong opinions about where dinner should be served. My background is in hospitality and event management, so reliability, organization, and communication are second nature to me. You can expect regular photos and updates, clear communication, and someone who takes the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal as an individual. Some want adventures. Some want the yard. Some want to spend the entire afternoon attached to your hip. I’m very happy to accommodate all three. 🐾 I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a traditional office job. I keep my bookings intentionally limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention and build my day around their normal routine. Depending on the pet, that might include morning and evening walks, midday yard time, play, meals, medication, or simply plenty of company throughout the day. I’m home for much of the day and can accommodate dogs who enjoy being close to their person, while still following whatever routine they are accustomed to at home. My goal is to make their time with me feel relaxed, predictable, and genuinely enjoyable. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, I take the responsibility seriously. I follow feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any household instructions carefully, while also paying attention to the individual animal in front of me. At my home in White Plains, dogs have a calm environment, a large fenced yard, and no resident pets to navigate. I keep bookings intentionally limited and make sure gates and doors are secure before any outdoor time. I also follow each owner’s instructions around walks, sleeping arrangements, feeding, crating, and how long their pet can comfortably be left alone. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I keep things tidy, maintain your pet’s familiar routine, and send regular photos and updates so you can actually enjoy your time away without wondering what is happening back home. Before a first booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, health needs, triggers, and emergency contacts so I can provide care that feels both safe and personal.

“Rachel was responsible, on time, and has a wonderful, caring rapport with our cats. We felt very comfortable going out for the evening, knowing she’d be stopping by. We really appreciated the picture! We highly recommend Rachel and would definitely use her again.”

“Kind and communicative. I would certainly book Cassian again.”

About: My name is Nasima, and I genuinely love caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I always tailor my care around what makes them feel safest, happiest, and most comfortable. I live in Teaneck, just minutes away from Overpeck County Park, with plenty of other nearby parks, shaded walking areas, and space for safe, enjoyable walks. Whether your pet loves long adventures, relaxed strolls, playtime, or simply extra attention and companionship, I tailor their care around what makes them happiest. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful updates, plenty of photos, and the peace of mind that your pet is being cared for as if they were my own. I have Tuesday through Friday most weeks free, weekends sometimes too, while I’m studying throughout the week. I’m pretty active so I love going outside frequently for walks, getting fresh air and enjoying nature. I am very organized, clean and mindful. I’ll respect your home and space and do my best to leave it better than I found it.

About: Hello pet parents! Do we like that term? It's either that or owners, which feels worse! I'm Reena, a single woman in my late 30s from Australia. I'm also a journalist with a love for writing about movies and TV (which I do part-time). I've come to Rover from Trusted Housesitters, where I netted five-star reviews and some lovely new furry pals. I enjoy petsitting because I genuinely feel a sense of connection and empathy towards cats and dogs. Even if I walk a dog just one time, I'll go out of my way to make sure they feel safe and loved. I’ve been sitting cats and dogs for about 3 years, both in Melbourne and NYC. Oh, and I do especially well with anxious cats. I’ve been told that so have the type of tranquil energy that keeps them comfortable and at ease. I’ve also administered a variety of medicines to animals, including stomach meds hidden inside a pill pocket, liquid antibiotics measured via a syringe, and blood pressure meds. I also recently administered daily ringworm medication to an older cat: his lesions resolved completely under my care, which was great. I also love looking after dogs and in particular have cared for many poodle mixes. 🐩 I love taking them on walks (I can walk two at a time) and paying visits to the dog park, regardless of if you have a high-energy dog with a fetch addiction or a more low-key fellow who prefers to saunter and sniff. I’ve also looked after puppies and trained them on basic drills and commands. Many treats were provided in exchange for their sacrifice, and cute faces, of course! I promise: your pets are 100% my priority. I’m not the type of sitter who will leave your fur children on their own for long stretches of time. I will be there for your pets so that they know they’re safe and loved! About my routine: I’m presently a journalist doing casual weekend work, but that work is done from home. At other times, I’m pitching and/or job hunting. This means I have a ton of time to spend with your babies, which is especially useful if your pets get separation anxiety. I love to play with animals and will make sure they’re getting balanced days, filled with play, pats, rest, relaxation, grooming, and of course, their daily food and water! I love sitting for pets in their own homes, as I find that animals, especially cats, are happier and more open to new people while safety situated in the environment that they know and love. This also saves you the hassle of having to transport your pets elsewhere: I will come to you!
