Pet Sitting Riverdale

“Shadow and I got lucky with this young woman! She is a great fit for shadow. He’s a big sweet boy with separation anxiety. She knew how to take charge and keep herself and him safe. We are very happy with the service she provided. And we get to see her again”

About: I've been a devoted pet owner for the past 10 years, so I understand the day-to-day realities of animal care, feeding routines, exercise needs, and the little things that make a pet feel at home. A few years back, I also spent 6 months working at a veterinary clinic, where I learned to recognize signs of illness or discomfort, assist with medications, and stay calm and steady in stressful situations. I bring a decade of real, hands-on pet care experience and a genuine love for animals to every stay. I treat every home and pet as if they were my own, sticking closely to your pet's normal routine, giving plenty of attention and exercise, and staying alert to anything unusual. I know it's not easy leaving your pets behind, even for a short trip. I'd love the chance to earn your trust and show you how much care and attention I'll bring to keeping them happy, healthy, and comfortable while you're away. I'm a part-time grad student and part-time employee, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I'm typically available weekday mornings and all day on weekends — great for house sitting stays, drop-ins, or trips that start or end on a weekend. My schedule can shift slightly week to week depending on classes and work, so I'll always confirm availability before accepting a booking. When I house sit, I treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I stick closely to your pet's established routine: feeding times, walks, playtime, and bedtime, so there's as little disruption to their normal life as possible. I keep a close eye out for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health, and I'm comfortable administering medication if needed thanks to my time working at a veterinary clinic. I'm respectful of your space and belongings, keep the home clean and secure, and make sure doors, windows, and any pet gates or fences are properly closed at all times. I'll send regular updates and photos so you can relax and enjoy your trip knowing your pets and your home are in good hands.

“Our cats love Bryant! He’s communicative and super responsible. It’s a relief to be able to trust that our kitties will be just fine while we’re away. :)”

“Lili took care of our cat, Mishmish, while we were on vacation. She followed instructions to the T, and our elderly cat, who is usually pretty lethargic and not overly friendly, warmed up to her. We came back to clean litter box, swept floors, and our cat having fresh water and food. We will absolutely work with Lili again when we travel for extended period of time, and highly recommend her to any pet owner.”

“Noelle was so great with my cat, she was great at communicating even while I was in a diffeeent country, and she gave a picture with every visit, keeping me updated on how they got along.”

“Shelley was absolutely great! She came in exactly when she said she would and went above and beyond caring for my cat. She took the time to give my cat attention, made sure the food and water bowls were full, and stayed in constant communication with me throughout. I especially appreciated the photo updates—it gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Shelley to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: My mother taught me everything I know about taking care of animals ever since I was eight years old, and I haven't stopped. To this day I have a 12 year old Great Dane that I take care of that requires specifics. I am currently working with my Great Dane, Mia, a dog that has incontinence that requires many walks, taking care of her diapers and cleaning up after her bed if needed. It's a daily thing that I need to work around along with school work in college. While my apartment isn't something that I can do. But I am more than willing to stay at home, I have worked in other people's home before, personal friends and I have an easy time adjusting to any environment.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up with two dogs and was very hands-on with their care; everything from long walks to making sure they were always active, happy, and getting lots of attention. Since then, I’ve dog and cat sat for many friends and neighbors over the years, and I always treat their pets like my own. I know how important it is to stick to a pet’s routine and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, so I’m available for pet sitting three days during the week and can be flexible based on your pet’s needs! I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and predictable environment for every pet. I’m very attentive on walks; keeping a close eye on surroundings, avoiding unsafe situations, and making sure your pet is always secure. In the home, I’m mindful about keeping doors closed, food and small items out of reach, and maintaining a clean, hazard-free space. I also take time to understand your pet’s personality, comfort level, and boundaries. Whether that means giving them space to warm up, sticking closely to their routine, or providing extra attention and reassurance, I adjust my approach to best fit their needs!😊🐾

About: I have loved animals all my life! I have had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and a few years working with PetsMart as a Pet Care associate. I am a full time pet sitter and I look forward to meeting and caring for new friends. I'm very very flexible and have transportation. I have a full house of cats and reptiles at home, so I can only pet sit in clients homes. I care for my pets by feeding twice a day, providing a lot of cat furniture and toys, being attentive and playful with them through out the day and allow them some sun bathing/fresh air time on our patio daily. Obviously I will respectfully follow any set rules and schedules of clients needs and wants and provide the same love and care as if they were my own.
