Cat Sitting in Rhinecliff

“We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for our dog. From the very first meeting, it was clear how much love and professionalism she brings to her work. She was attentive, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure our pup was happy, safe, and cared for. We especially appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It’s such a relief knowing our dog was in such good hands. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly devoted to animals. She’s simply the best!”

About: I am a truly sensitive person with a great deal of empathy for all living creatures. I have always liced with animals and created bonds with them. I have personal experience with birds, cats and dogs. I am always in tune with their needs and also able to provide a calm presence for them in your absence. At the moment I am available weekends for drop in visits as well as dog walking. I am open to all animals in addition to cats, dogs and birds. In the client's home I am very respectful of your property and will follow your directions seamlessly. In my own home, I offer a fenced in yard on one beautiful acre of land.

“Linda was such a wonderful sitter for my little Lulu. Usually Lu is a bit crazy after I come back from a trip and she was calm as can be. I attribute that Linda’s warm presence as much as her care.”

“Monica was an excellent cat sitter! She was very communicative, thorough and great at her job. I was nervous about leaving our new kitten so soon after adopting her, but I had these plans in the calendar for a while. Monica went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I was very happy. Will definitely be booking Monica again in the future.”

“Sam, our 15 yr. old cat, tends to be a bit of a cat-curmudgeon. He rarely leaves our home. Janice and her family are genuine pet lovers whose wonderful home provided Sam with a warm, welcoming environment to relax and become part of the household. They were extremely caring and their depth of pet knowledge kept Sam healthy and happy, providing us with a stress-free vacation. Regards, Cindy & Luis”

“I will keep on asking Sebastian to care for my pets because they are excellent. And I will also continue to leave reviews every time they come by because they are so good at what they do.”

“Kristel was terrific!! We were traveling and needed someone to walk and feed our dogs while we went into the city. They were well cared for and her photos of the dogs were great!! I wouldn’t hesitate to have her care for our dogs anytime we’re in the area.”

“Can’t recommend Sabrina enough. She’s incredibly sweet and genuinely loves animals. I trusted her immediately and found her to be communicative, punctual, and reliable. She takes the time to get to know your pet and get them comfortable, so you can feel at ease about them while you’re away.”

About: I specialize in attentive, stress-free cat care, with a deep understanding of feline behavior and needs. I’ve also cared for dogs and know how to ensure they feel safe, seen, and comfortable. My calm presence and attention to detail set me apart when it comes to compassionate, reliable pet care. My schedule allows for catering to all of a pet's needs: feeding, grooming, walking, playing and enrichment, medication administration, etc. I can also do multiple drop-ins per day/extended drop-ins for pets that need company throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex, so I would not be able to host your pet in my home, but I have reliable transportation and would love to come to you!

“Our kitty stayed with Cassandra for a few days and she took such good care of him!! I felt so comfortable having him there and she sent updates every day :) I will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner for 11 years. I work as a vet assistant. I am trained to read an animals body language and look for signs of distress. I am a very patient, caring, compassionate and empathetic individual. I genuinely enjoy meeting and caring for all types of animals, and I look forward to caring for yours! (: I do work full time, but otherwise I have open availability. I am willing to work around my schedule to help meet your needs (: I feed them, clean up after them, give them medication if needed, bathe them, walk them as often as needed. If your animal is on a schedule of any kind, it will be cared for accordingly.

About: I've taken care of many different types of dogs, from pit bulls to terriers to English bulldogs. As a teenager, I loved taking our family dog (a black Boxador) to her weekly puppy training classes and watching neighbors' dogs and cats while they were away. As an adult, I've been hired to dog-sit, cat-sit and house-sit for family friends and teachers. I spent the past year living with a rambunctious German shepherd and wrangling her on walks in Denver. I absolutely love long walks, playing fetch, or just cuddling with dogs. I'm a musician and graduate student at Bard. My schedule changes quite a bit, but I always have a good idea of what my schedule will look like 2 weeks in advance. In addition, I am generally free most mornings, and can often be flexible. I'm very happy to provide your dog(s) with walks, food, brushing, and bathing in the mornings or during the day while you're at work! I am also potentially open to boarding cats in my apartment if they do well with other cats. I have a calm, quiet 7yo cat named Hobbes, and my roommate has a rambunctious, playful, and friendly 2yo cat named Rue. Both have lived with multiple other cats before. We have 3 litter boxes in the house, lots of fun toys, many windows, space to explore, and a large cat tower.

“Patricia took great care of our two cats!”

“Sierra watched my cats for a week. She was professional and communicative throughout the entire interaction. She provided updates as requested. 10/10 would recommend. Thanks Sierra!”

“Olivia is a treasure. We were hesitant to open our home to a stranger and she has become our go-to trusted friend to take care of our special needs cat. He is so clearly well taken care of. She is reliable, so wonderful to work with, and we only wish we’d found her sooner. Can’t say enough good things about her.”

About: As a social worker, I'm highly attuned to both human and animal needs/issues, and love getting to know and cater to unique personalities - or provide loving care for those who are ill or have special needs. I started taking care of neighbors' pets at an early age and though we only had fish and birds and a cat at home, dogs and other animals became a special love of mine. I have been cat, dog, bird and other little furry friend sitting for over four decades and have done so for several years as a 5 star sitter on Trusted Housesitters. I love making new furry friends, both for sharing my positive, attentive energy with them, and for nourishing in the innocent sweet playfulness they often offer. The mutual benefits of animal care are no joke! As an avid traveler and travel writer (we social workers need periodic breaks from our big jobs), pet sitting has been a fabulous win-win-for-all! I love immersing in local scenes, and enjoy getting to know the nature, infrastructure, and pulse of new places. Perhaps most importantly, I love hunkering down for writing (I am a published writer in addition to being a social worker) with the delightful energy of furry friends beside me. They seem to like it too! I grew up in a small city, have lived in a major city for over two decades and LOVE being in more rural and remote areas too. You can count on me to bring my strong sense of professionalism and responsibility to your pets and to your home. I’ve often been told that other than happy pets, there was no sign I had even been there! I am currently freelancing/focusing my time on writing projects so I often have a flexible schedule....and love taking work breaks with furry friends! A veteran 5-start pet-sitter, I am new to Rover and am figuring out how the calendar and geography works so it can reflect where I am and when I'm available. Most folks comment that they can barely tell I've been there. Cleanliness, respect, and loving care are my hallmarks. I make sure to honor any requests and instructions for people's homes, which often have quirks and special needs -- and to of course respect privacy too, just as I would as a social worker. As for furry friends, they get exceptional, reliable, patient, playful, caring energy from me while I make sure that all their food, litter, or other needs are met.

“Eleanor is the quintessential pup sitter. She is everything you would wish for: prompt, smart, communicative and caring. We used Eleanor to drop in on Sparky, yesterday and everything went off without a glitch. We already have her booked for our vacation week next year!”

About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. After spending over 25years taking care of children I decided why not take care of pets? I retired from the classroom in June and ready to take care of your animals. Just no SNAKES. My schedule is extremely flexible. Retired! After taking care of the special education population for 25 years, I am excited to take care of pets. I feel it is important for the pets to keep their routine and have a consistent schedule. I love your pets like I love my own.

About: Growing up we always had animals in the home. Dogs and cats mostly! Over the past 7 years I’ve had the privilege of taking care of my friends fur babies (although I often feel as if they’re taking care of me). This included walking, grooming, feeding, and of course play time! I have experience in administering medicine to both dogs and cats. My last furry friend was a gorgeous black cat I rescued off the streets. Unfortunately, not long after we brought him home, he ended up being diagnosed with FeLV. It was a long and often tiring road but I would do it all over again for that special guy! While I’m extremely heartbroken we lost him, I am so grateful I got to experience, at least once in my life, such a special bond. This taught me a lot about caring for animals with serious health issues and deepened my appreciation for them on a new level. My schedule often fluctuates, as I’ve started a new job but I am open to all sorts of Dogs/Cats! I am energetic and love the outdoors so walks and play time come easy to me. Animals have always been an important part of my life. I feel they play an important role as a family member and therefore deserve to be treated like one! Please reach out if you have any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your beloved four-legged friend! - Ava Pet care is a daily necessity when you have the privilege of having a pet. These days I don’t but I hope that I have the privilege of taking care of yours! I think great care starts before I come to your home! I like to spend a little time getting to know if you have any primary concerns for your furry friend. If possible I like to keep a record of emergency contacts, vet info, feeding instruction (if any specific), medications, and alarm codes or instructions to enter the home. Before I leave I also like to triple check that all gates , doors, and fences are properly closed and locked.
