Cat Sitting Sleepy Hollow

“Great communication, friendly, very patient with my shy dog who required coaxing out of his crate initially but was getting belly rubs by the end of the visit. Would absolutely recommend!”

About: I grew up with my Australian Shepherd, who was part of my family my entire life, and I helped care for her throughout her senior years. I now have my own cat, Emerald, and my family recently welcomed a terrier puppy named Edna. I also have experience caring for friends’ cats, as well as a neighbor’s and family friend’s Chihuahua and a family’s Golden Retriever. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including pets with different personalities and energy levels. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I take pride in providing the same loving care I would want for my own pets. I’ll be leaving my medical assistant position as I prepare to start PA school next year, so I’ll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends. I’m able to spend quality time with pets rather than simply stopping by, and I’m happy to work around their individual routines and needs. I’m excited to use this time before PA school doing something I genuinely love! I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs, while also keeping your home clean and secure. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and in good hands!

About: I have volunteered at Humane Societies with all kinds of pets because animals are my passion, and have had pets for almost 30 years. I currently have had a wonderful cat named Latte for 6 years and I couldn't live without her. I am available during the day to walk your dog or take it to play at a dog park, or check in on your cat and give it plenty of love, food, and attention. I make sure the pets I look after are cared for like my own, and their safety, comfort, and security are a top concern of mine.

About: Hello! My name is Karissa and I am a big animal lover. I've had dogs and cats my whole life, and have always enjoyed spending time with and caring for them. I have trained and competed in agility with my Australian shepherds, and I have worked with and trained dogs of all ages. I have also cared for and loved many cats (both my own and for clients and friends). When I played varsity polo for Virginia Tech, my team was charge of all aspects of care for our 16 horses during the school year. I have ridden and cared for over 100 horses since I was young. Through these experiences, I have administered medications, handled behavioral issues, fed a variety of foods, and cared for and diagnosed illnesses and injuries. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while their favorite people are away. Your pet should feel like they are on vacation too! I am available and excited to care for your pets on any schedule that works best for them! My schedule is quite flexible right now. Because I offer care in your home, I strive to ensure that you and your pets feel safe, respected, and cared for. I emphasize safety, privacy, cleanliness, and happy animals. Especially with the temporary change in caregiver, I believe it is extremely important to maintain the routine your pets are used to while you are away, with maybe a couple extra treats (with permission, of course) :) Above all, I adhere to the care rules and instructions given to me, because you know your pets better than anyone.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with two cats of my own, and I absolutely adore caring for pets of all kinds. Whether you have energetic dogs that need daily walks and playtime, independent kitties who want some extra snuggles, or any other furry (or scaly!) friends, I’m experienced and confident giving them the attentive, affectionate care they deserve. While you’re away, I’ll keep your pets happy and comfortable in their familiar environment, stick to their normal routines, provide plenty of love and exercise, and make sure your home stays safe and tidy. You can relax knowing your beloved companions are in trustworthy, caring hands! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m highly available for drop-ins, overnight stays, and house sitting whenever you need me. Your pets will always receive prompt and attentive care! I prioritize your pets’ safety and well-being above all else. In your home, I follow your exact instructions and routines to the letter — from feeding schedules and medication to favorite toys and walk routes. I’m a responsible, non-smoker with a clean background, and I treat your space with the same care as my own.

“If you have any doubts about leaving your furry friend in the care of a home sitter, Marisa will put your anxieties to rest. She took great care of my good buddy Gus the Cat, hanging out with him, giving him treats, and sending daily images of the little guy. I simply could not be more pleased, or grateful.”

“This our second sit with David and he’s the best. Very thorough, communicative and loving towards our furry friends. Thank you again, David!”

Angel M.

“Kathryn jumped in last minute and took excellent care of my babies. She was a great communicator, very punctual, and I instantly trusted her! Highly recommend!”

Maya B.

“Lydia did a stellar job! She is reliable, on time and a she understands how to take of a cat, which is rare. I can tell she was here and actually paid attention to our cat because of the cat’s behavior when I got home. I would recommend her to another cat owner”

About: Hi! I have always loved animals. I have had dogs my entire life since we adopted my first dog, a black lab, from the humane society when I was 5. I have also volunteered at the humane society for many years on a regular basis. I am home full time right now and my priority is giving the animals I look after the best possible care and of course lots of love! I just want them to be happy and comfortable with me. Reach out with any questions you may have. This is my main job at the moment so I have a very flexible schedule during the week. Therefore, my number one priority is making sure your pet is happy and safe while at home or out on a walk or hike! I have no pets myself right now because I live in a small apartment so I have a lot of time and energy to care for your dogs and cats. I have cared for many of my own pets, and they lived happy, long lives. With me, you have a trustworthy, competent, and caring animal lover.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. 🐾 What sets me apart is that I truly take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs, routine, personality, and energy level. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I also have experience with basic puppy care, reinforcing good behavior during walks, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs. My goal is always to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy while in my care. ❤️🐶 Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. I plan my days around their needs, including walks, playtime, feeding, enrichment, and plenty of love and attention. I prioritize providing a calm, safe, and personalized experience for every dog I care for. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every pet can feel at home. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, needs, and comfort level so they receive personalized care. During walks, I always prioritize safety, using secure leashes and paying close attention to the surroundings, other dogs, people, and traffic. I also follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and daily routines. For dogs staying in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, outdoor time, play, and opportunities for exercise and socialization. I have a secure yard and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable throughout their stay. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and cared for as if they were part of my own family. 🌻🐾

“What a life saver for our family this past weekend! Could not have had a better experience with our kitty Curt 🙏🏻💕”

“Helen did a great job caring for my two senior dogs while I was away. She sent messages with each visit telling me how the visit went. My dogs were totally relaxed and happy when I came home! Thank you, Helen!”

About: I have had 6 dogs throughout my life, 2 of my own, and have helped care for them as well as many others. I have even volunteered at a local pet shelter near my house where I helped feed, bathe, and play with many animals. I love playing with dogs and going for walks as well as runs if they are able. I don't mind doing the dirty work such as bathing them or picking up poop and always am concerned with the well being of the animal. I love cuddling with all animals and giving them the love they need while their owners are away. I am usually pretty available durning the day and at nights, but if something comes up I will be sure to take care of the animal(s) in a timely manner. I currently have 2 dogs and cannot host any other animals in my home, but do not mind going to the pets home. I have experience working with special needs animals and administering medications. My own dogs have a crazy meal regime so I don’t mind dealing with any extra meal preparations. I work from home so I have plenty of flexibility to work from wherever. My partner and I tag team with our own dogs so they will be cared for so I can see to your pets needs. Again, my home is unavailable to host any other animals, however I don’t mind going to your home to watch your pet(s). I don’t need much, just a place to sleep and I’m sure I can figure out the rest as long as your pet has everything it needs. I have worked with special needs animals and can administer medication as needed.

“Melina was great! Very flexible with my last minute drop in request. My dogs loved her and she took great care of them. Went above and beyond in a rain storm to make sure their paws were dry and the floors were not muddy. Checked in regularly and made me feel at ease knowing my dogs were taken care of.”

Ashley H.

“Ariane did a great drop in with my two dogs for the first time and left them happy and relaxed while I was away. She was a prompt communicator too which I appreciated!”

Sarah G.

“Aislinn was a great Rover for my baby kitten, she was detail oriented and followed all of the care instructions, she communicated thoroughly before and after her visits and is an experienced Rover / animal lover. Would definitely recommend her and I will be booking her again in the future!”

Lisa C.

“Alisha arrived exactly when asked to and treated my girl so well. Her updates are thorough and fun to read, and she took lots of cute pics of our pup. Even though our dog is rather shy, Alisha quickly build trust with her.”
