Cat Sitting in Shelltown

“Sydney provided wonderful care for my two kitties while I was away on a 2-week trip. I chose overnight care at my home and the kitties warmed up to her and had lots of snuggles, petting, and playtime. Sydney kept me up-to-date with texts and photos. I would recommend Sydney to anyone looking for quality, responsible care of their furry loved ones!! She spent lots of quality time with each kitty and their preferred pastimes - one kitty like to sit and nap on one’s lap and the other kitty like to be held and carried around - both require lots of time and patience!”

About: Dog sitting is something I truly excel at—I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I make sure each pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether that means sticking to their feeding routine, going on long, playful walks, or just being there for some quality cuddle time. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, quickly noticing if something seems off. I treat every dog like they're part of the family, and pet parents can relax knowing their furry friend is in great hands with me. I currently work part-time caregiver for my mom and father. I have a flexible work schedule so I can do all hours . I believe the more rime u can spend with a animal the more you conny just like a caregiver. I ahve a cat that is friendly and free to go as he pleases. i have toys and a nice yard to play in although will still have to be a leash. And as for your home i will keep the most responsible respectful i can be in your home and to your pet.

About: I’ve lived with and cared for cats for many years—my own, fosters, and friends’. I’m attentive, respectful of their space, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I understand cat body language and always try to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for evening and weekend visits. I’m reliable and consistent, and caring for cats is a regular part of my daily routine—even after a long day, I always make time for play, affection, and care. I clean the litter box every other day, wash and refill food bowls daily, and clean water fountains weekly. I also give cats daily affection and weekly brushing, and I always follow their lead to make sure they feel relaxed and safe in their home.

“Neomi was amazing! We needed a sitter last minute with our puppy, and she really helped us out. She was responsive and even switched up the timing of her visit for us. We highly recommend Neomi!”

About: I have been able to work with my Mom, helping to show dogs, foster kittens and cats and care for our family pets. I have learned the importance of keeping pets comfortable in their own home. I can adjust my schedule to be flexible. In this way I can fit the needs for you and your pet without added stress to you or them. In your home, your pets are my singular focus! They deserve all the attention and love just like you would provide for them. Letting them be themselves and respecting them is important to me.

“Ariel was on time, followed all instructions, and even stayed extra for my skittish dog. Not easy taking care of my crew but Ariel handled them all well - came home to happy pups. She also communicated with me and provided updates which is what I look for in a sitter. I can recommend Ariel”

About: I’ve dog-sat for families, stayed overnight in their homes, and taken dogs on long walks. I’m reliable, nurturing, and animals naturally feel safe around me. I also take excellent care of my own cat, Willow, feeding her a raw diet and paying close attention to her emotional and physical needs. Willow travels with me wherever I go and is well-behaved and calm in new environments—so I can only accept sits where she is welcome to stay with me. Pet care isn’t just a task to me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m flexible and available most days of the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I like building a rhythm with each pet and can adapt to your schedule easily. I care for pets as if they’re my own—respectfully and attentively. I follow your routines closely, keep their space clean and calm, and make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved. Whether in your home or mine, I create a peaceful environment they can trust.

About: I bring over four years of experience working with a wide variety of dogs and cats, giving me a strong understanding of unique pet personalities. I’m a full-time college student at Morgan State University, I’m a Psych major. I have a very flexible schedule to fit into your busy day! I follow the owners schedule, I leave the house tidy as when I arrived, I send pet photo updates via messages, and reinforce positive behavior.

About: I have previous experience in caring for an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix for long periods at a time. Being a high energy dog- I’m prepared for anything. I’m willing to help in whatever way I can- and provide your pet with love and attention! I have always had pets, but currently can’t afford to keep one myself. Growing up I had a Rottweiler and a Jack Russell, as I became a teenager we adopted a Pit Bull type dog who really changed my perception about the breed. I have high energy myself- so I love to be able to get dogs outside as much as possible and burn off a lot of their pent up energy. Dogs need it just as much as children do! I work a normal 9-5 job usually Monday- Friday but I have a partner who works from home, who I could argue loves pets as much as I do. I have a big yard and perfect sized home that is very safe for big and small pets as it is a single floor home. I do have a crate if needed for your fur baby and will treat them like my own pet.

About: I’ve grown up with pets at home for the last 17 years. My extended family all have had dogs my entire life varying from Rottweilers, dachshunds, German shepherds and yorkies. I’ve walked, dog sat, bathed, taken care of for both short and extended periods of time for family and friends for about 10 years. I’ve recently moved to Virginia with some family and although not “technically” mine, currently with an extra 4 Maltese and 1 mastiff I set my own hours with my day job. Because of that, I set the same hours on a weekly basis to minimize any confusion. My parents currently have a dog who is very anxious and easily scared so from my personal experience, I’m great with making sure a dog feels more than comfortable with me. I allow them to sniff my hand and/or anything else including shoes, pants, shirt, whatever they need to feel comfortable. Trust with a dog is built over time and I will never force you for baby to go with me if they don’t feel safe.

“Alicia was there in a jiffy and helped me care for my pet when my trip got delayed. Great help and wonderful person. Will be using this professional again!”
