Cat Sitting in Sleepy Hollow

About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care with a Flexible Schedule 🐶🐾 I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — from small seniors to large energetic breeds. I’ve raised a puppy of my own and have been professionally paid to house-sit and care for multiple dogs (up to five at once). I understand how to match a dog’s energy, follow routines, and create a calm, dependable environment. I'm confident with big dogs (up to 100 lbs) and always tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m currently in a flexible, open-schedule period and available most weekdays and weekends. I can often accommodate last-minute requests and daytime visits. If your pet thrives on routine, I’m happy to set up regular visits or walks. My availability may change slightly week-to-week, but I’ll always communicate clearly and keep my calendar updated. I take pet care seriously — you’re trusting me with a member of your family, and I don’t take that lightly. I always follow your instructions closely, check gates and leashes, and make sure pets are secure, safe, and comfortable at all times. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during visits, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I’m calm under pressure, and I work to create a low-stress experience for both you and your pet.

“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 an adventure. I have no pets myself right now 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.

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

“Liza was great. She was able to watch my cat even without much notice. Though I was not able to meet her in person first, after chatting with her I was confident she was the right choice. I loved the pics she sent of my pet. I would definitely rehire her and recommend her to anyone.”

“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!”

“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.”

About: I have 2 dogs of my own at home! We love spending our nights after work at the dog park or going on hikes together on the weekends. Most of my friends and neighbors ask me to take care of their pups whenever they travel and it’s something that brings me a lot of joy! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I can take breaks and go for long or short walks throughout the day. I am most free before work, during my lunch break 1:00-2:00pm or after 5:30pm I am very attentive to the needs of each pet and make sure they feel relaxed in any situation. I have dogs of my own at home and understand the importance of keeping them leashed and safe.

“Charles took great care of our pets while we were gone and needed someone to check on them. He sent detailed updates and pictures and they were very happy with with him 😄, would recommend!”

About: I worked for a dog kennel for 6 months in 2020 where I fed and exercised up to 15 dogs at a time. I also worked at a horse ranch at the same time, so plenty of experience with all types of animals. I am currently an undergraduate at UC Berkeley studying Molecular Environmental Biology & Film to eventually become a veterinarian. I also have had a cat since I was 10 years old. My schedule is honestly pretty flexible, as long as I’m given a days notice. I am currently on break from my veterinary assistant job for the summer. I am sure to be respectable of other’s belongings, as well as ensure to keep constant watch over the pets. I will make sure to be attentive to any special instructions and most importantly, play with your pets.

About: From pill pockets to playtime, I’m an experienced vet tech with 15 years of hands‑on experience in Marin County, offering loving pet sitting for healthy pets and those needing medications, special diets, or recovery care. I’m especially comfortable working with anxious or sensitive pets, using patience and calm handling to help them feel safe and secure. I also have extensive experience caring for senior pets, including mobility support, chronic condition management, and gentle, attentive care. I’m flexible with schedules, routines, and last‑minute needs so your pet’s care fits seamlessly into their normal day while you’re away. In emergencies, I stay calm and act quickly, drawing on my veterinary experience to respond appropriately and keep pets safe. You’ll also receive daily updates and photos for peace of mind Pet care is an important part of my routine. I’m available for mornings, evenings, and scheduled visits or overnights with a few days’ notice. This allows me to plan ahead and provide consistent, attentive care, including timely feedings, medications, and quality time with each pet. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes for cats, dogs, and other small pets, allowing them to stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. I take time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, and personality, ensuring calm, consistent, and individualized care. Visits include feeding, fresh water, litter box or potty care, enrichment through play or companionship, and close observation of behavior and wellbeing. With 15 years of veterinary technician experience, I’m confident providing in‑home medical care for a wide range of pets, including oral and injectable medications (such as insulin), Sub‑Q fluids, special diets, and senior or post‑procedure support. I’m especially experienced with anxious, shy, or medically complex pets and use gentle, low‑stress handling appropriate for both cats and dogs and other pets. I respect my clients’ homes, keep everything clean and organized, and provide daily updates and photos. If a concern or emergency arises, I stay calm and respond appropriately using my veterinary experience. My goal is to provide safe, reliable, and loving in‑home care giving both pets and their people peace of mind.

“Sharon is great with our corgi, Wilson. She asks thoughtful questions and clearly cares about being prepared. She sends regular updates, which gives us peace of mind. It’s obvious she really loves the dogs she cares for, and it makes leaving Wilson much easier. She also is great at communication and is responsive to messages. We highly recommend her!”

“Abbey was excellent! Her calm energy helped my nervous kitty feel right at home while we were away. 10000% will be seeking her help in the future!”

Celeste J.

“We loved having Kelsey take care of our pup, Easton! We were in a bind and having Kelsey swing by to take Easton out and ensure she was taken care of gave us so much peace of mind. Will definitely be requesting her help again in the future :)”

Kathryn K.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care our two cats received! From the very first visit, it was clear that Abby has a genuine love for animals. Abby kept us updated with photos and notes, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet sitting. We have worked with Abby a few times this year and will absolutely be booking again! 🐾💛”

“Maya was an efficient and responsive carer for our two cats. We returned after a week away to very clean and well-maintained pet areas, and two happy cats. What more could you ask for? Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I have owned 2 dogs in the past. Growing up, I was a dog lover, but I have recently discovered I may love cats even more! I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats. We are glad to say that all our pets get along and live peacefully with one another. I enjoy meeting new fur babies, big or small, chill or playful. I have had experience with a senior dog that has to take daily meds and I am comfortable with post-op care for dogs that have undergone a procedure. I love getting to learn pets’ personalities and participating in activities they enjoy :) I work full-time Mon–Fri until 4 PM and am available to care for pets after 5 PM on weekdays. Weekends are fully open, so I’m available then as well. I’m available for overnights when needed, as long as my daytime work schedule still allows me to provide the care your pet requires. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I like to make sure I meet your pet at their comfort level and engage with them gently. If your pet is playful and excited, I will match that energy as well with no issue. I will check gates and doors leading outside before any off-leash play. I have a fenced area where I live that I let my own babies run free in on days that are not too hot.

“Thank you, Janaki for taking the best care of our girls. Really appreciate the updates and photos. Our shy girls were super quick to warm up to you.”

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was a middle schooler. Between my family dogs and dogs who have lived in my home since then I have been responsible for at least 7 dogs, of all shapes, sizes and demeanors. I've kept moody Dachshunds, energetic Shelties, even tempered Retrievers and even rescue Pitbulls. I love hiking and getting outdoors, and bringing a canine friend along. I currently have one dog of my own, a peppy rescue mix, and he is my best friend I am available to dog/house sit very regularly. I am an ecological land designer working most days from home with the exception of days where I need to do a site visit or connect with my team in person. I can pretty much work from anywhere with a good internet connection, so most days would be able to be around in case your dog needs more frequent walks or attention. In addition to dogs I love other pets and plants! If you have house plants, a veggie garden or other plants that need some watering or attention while you're away I'll be able to help in the department as well! I work from home most days, so I am able to be flexible around a pets needs regarding feeding, walks, and medication. Ocassionally I do have to leave home for work, and that is typically up to 4 hours. We have one dog at home and since we don't have a yard, we typically take him up on the ridge to walk, or to the Red hill Dog park or San Quentin beach. These are great places to have some fun exercise
