Cat Sitting Sleepy Hollow

About: Over the course of my life, I have gained extensive experience in animal care. My expertise encompasses a diverse array of species, including, but not limited to, kittens, puppies, adult mammals, and reptiles. As I do not have children and stay at home, I have flexibility throughout the day. I am available from approximately 10:00 AM after my morning routine until around 11:00 PM. Although my yard is fully enclosed, it does feature a pool. My house is in close proximity to a dog park, which offers abundant opportunities for outdoor engagement with your canine companion. I am fully prepared to comply with all guidelines you establish for your residence, as I recognize the significance of clearly defined parameters.

“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’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for a variety of pets. I currently have a 19-year-old Sulcata tortoise and a dwarf hamster, and I previously had two cats of my own. I’ve also done dog walking and pet sitting for two large Golden doodles, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I am responsible and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I will help with walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins while maintaining your pet’s usual routine. I’ll also keep your home and any areas I use clean, so everything is in order when you get home. I’ll send photo updates throughout my visits so you know how your pet is doing! I work as an on-call nurse, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can usually work pet sitting and dog walking into my week and am happy to coordinate with you to find a time that works! When I’m caring for your pets in your home, I’ll walk and play with dogs, and keep cats fed with fresh water and clean litter boxes, and will give them lots of company. I’ll keep your home clean and send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away!

“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Trisha to care for our cat, Jake. Not only did she handle all the usual responsibilities—food, water, litter, and playtime—with care and consistency, but she went above and beyond in ways that truly blew us away. While we were gone, an ant invasion and a potential health issue popped up. Trisha handled both calmly and proactively, keeping us informed, taking smart action, and making sure Jake was comfortable and safe every step of the way. Her updates were thoughtful and thorough, and it was clear she was paying close attention to his behavior and needs—not just checking off tasks. And perhaps the best part? Jake absolutely adored her. Our normally picky, opinionated cat bonded with her immediately. The photos she sent showed him completely relaxed, snuggling, playing, and clearly loving his time with her. When we got home, he barely acknowledged us. We're trying not to take it personally. If you're looking for someone who’s not only reliable and professional but also genuinely loves animals and thinks like a pet parent, Trisha is it. We will absolutely be booking her again—and Jake wouldn’t forgive us if we didn’t.”

About: Alison Certified: Understanding Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Business I have cared for many types of animals over the years. I go out of my way to help stray and adopted animals. I have helped friends and family over the years, with bottle feedings, walks, bathing, grooming, and medications. I have a very nice dog park across the street. I can take your dog there if you would like. I also am with Axen Realty outside of pet sitting for any real estate needs. ¡Hablo español también! Soy bilingüe y si podemos comunicarnos en español. Hablar en español de las mascotas está bien conmigo. Im available to care for your pet any day of the week. I have a open schedule for the following weeks. I can work with your schedule and if you need an overnight stay I can help with cleaning duties. I will send you pictures during the visit to ensure you that your pet is completely safe. Safety and happiness are of the upmost importance to me. Let me know what extra security measures that your special fur baby will need while you are away.

About: I have been watching my sisters and neighbors fur babies for years. They rely on me when they travel for work or go on vacation. I have watched multiple cats and dogs as well as administered a hydration IV for a senior cat. I am loving and kind and will treat your fur babies like my own. I have a tuxedo kitty named Tucker and an Australian Shepherd named Harley, I will always make time for playtime and extra snuggles and pets. I’m currently not working so my schedule is very flexible and open. I can come at a time that is best for you. If you need a consistent schedule, I am able to do that. Our dog Harley is crated trained and plays indoors and outdoors in our fenced backyard.. She is walked on a leash daily and I check for ticks and foxtails after each walk. I completely puppy proofed the house when we adopted her. Tucker is an indoor cat and I keep up on his brushing to reduce his fur balls. I put his feather wand up high when I’m not at home so it’s safer for him. I play with him every day with the feather wand to get exercise and interaction. I know which flowers are not good for pets so we do not bring those into our home.

About: I have had cats since I was 2, they are amazing. I give my cat medication everyday. I may not have a dog but I wish I did. I love being with dogs and going on their “sniff walks”. I am currently in college right now as a second year. I have a fair amount of free time. I am free all weekend, when not at home. At my home I have a fully fenced backyard. At your house, I will follow the directions you give me to a tea, to give everyone peace of mind. 🙂

“Monica did a great job. My cat loved her! She sent lots of pictures and I am totally satisfied.”

“Very reliable (always came at the same time & took pictures). Also went above and beyond helping my plants when it got 90+ degrees. Sometimes I wanted the pictures to be more of the cats playing with her and less of them sitting on the rug looking bored or hungry (which I bet they were when she arrived!) -- but I'm 99& sure that's a me problem.

“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! 🐾💛”

“Lia was awesome! She spent so much time with our two kitties, sent tons of pictures, and kept us updated on how they were doing. Also put up with us changing dates multiple times (just as patient with us humans as the kitties haha)”

About: Hi there! My name is Casey and I would be delighted to spend time with your cat or dog, whether that be for a drop in visit or for longer term house sitting. I spent the past year living and working in Europe but have just relocated back to where I grew up, here in the Bay Area. I have always been a big animal lover and look forward to meeting you and your pets! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, I am happy to chat.

About: I grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets and have owned both cats and a dog as an adult, which was a Dalmatian—describe them as eternally young. :-) I'm an active individual whose current living situation doesn't allow pets so would love to help with yours! Those of you in the Larkspur/Greenbrae area may recognize me from walks on the local paths where I’m able to greet many dogs. While on vacation, I also seek out opportunities to contribute or volunteer for various animal causes, which you’ll see in some of my pictures. I'm retired so my schedule is generally flexible unless I'm out of town for personal reasons. Choosing a more limited radius at this point enables greater schedule flexibility, and to be close to local resources should a need arise. I will pet sit in your home so that your fur baby has all of their normal comforts and routines. I realize not all owners have a fenced yard for a dog so understand the importance of daily walks. I always welcome the opportunity to meet or chat about your needs in advance, so that you may advise of any behaviors for which I'll need to be more mindful. I care for fur babies of at least one year of age. NOTE: I only have experience providing meds to dogs, not cats. Due to allergies, I’m unable to sit in homes with cigarette smoke or with whole house carpeting (in bedrooms is fine). I'm a neat, tidy person who's very responsible--former homeowner.

“Veronica was the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! She went above and beyond to make sure Ramses was taken care of and to make sure I knew he was doing ok. I got so many pictures and updates which was amazing. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter!”

“Tara was great with my kitties. She was easy to contact, very responsive, and very flexible with regard to scheduling and duties. Thanks, Tara!”

About: I grew up in South Africa organically and have had many years of experience with all kinds of animals! Always wanting to know new furry friends! I am currently working very part-time so am available frequently and when needed. I am in school at the moment but am taking mostly online course! I do have a fenced yard for the pups to play in and am very diligent when it comes to the care of any animal

About: I have had pets of my own, they were my besties. These days, I get my fill delighting in other people's pet(s). In addition to having my own animals over the years, I've cared for a multitude of pets, including dogs, cats, fishes, turtles, horses, rabbits, and more. I find that pets have such a unique and similar personalities. Some interesting quirks and characteristics have made a lasting impression. I have experience with big and small dogs, young and senior dogs, walking, running, adventuring with dogs both on and off leash, administering medications and supplements, maintaining routines, and providing companionship and attentive care. I'm gentle, observant, and sensitive to each animal's individual needs and comfort level. I enjoy nature and animal in general, and appreciate quiet, peaceful, sanctuary-like homes and tend to be very respectful of both the animals and the spaces entrusted to me. I pay attention to safety, so owner’s can be at ease and have a peace of mind. It’s nice when I am able to get into a rhythm and established semblance of steady routine of feeding, quality time, affection, exercise, sleep, relaxation, and companionship with the animals. I'm gentle, observant, and sensitive to each animal's individual needs and comfort level.I pay attention to safety, so owner’s can be at ease and have a peace of mind.

“Signe was great with our beloved cat! She was very responsive, communicated well and gave our cat lots of love and attention. We would recommend her to our friends!”

About: I have been a pet parent to a yellow lab named Sasha. During her lifetime, we went on many hikes, many swim adventures and had lots of snuggle time. I miss her dearly, so to help with that I was a volunteer at Guide Dogs for the Blind. I love both dogs and cats and have been asked by friends and family alike to care for their precious pets. I can provide one on one dog walks as well as potty breaks and cat visits. I've been doing this for 10 years plus. My daily schedule is flexible and I have the capability to fit my schedule around whatever your needs are. I am also happy to make any last-minute changes that a client may have. I make sure that I know each pets veterinary care phone number in case of an emergency. As well, I always make sure the areas that I plan to walk with dogs have a clear path and therefore hopefully free of ticks. When cat sitting or doing drop ins for cat owners I make sure that I have all veterinary and emergency contact info. as well.

“Josephine takes excellent care of our kitty, leaves everything as clean or cleaner than before, is extremely responsive and flexible. And she sends great pictures of the cat playing and having a good time!”
