Cat Sitting Twin Rivers

About: I currently am doing cat sitting full-time, so am available any days/times throughout the week, including weekends. My calendar is updated based on my availability (dates blocked out when I am traveling). In clients' homes, I follow all instructions given by the client. This includes feeding, water refresh, a text update with at least 1 photo and playtime (with belly rubs if allowed!). I also am experienced with giving insulin/medicinal injections, along with oral medications, ear drops and eye drops. I am a hopeless cat lover - I miss them when I'm away and love them with hugs and kisses while there! I understand (and just adore) that each cat has its own personality and needs to be cared for individually. I adjust my play and interactions with each cat as needed. I'm comfortable learning about new cats and how to deal with each personality type. Being the cat lover I am, I would love to give you peace of mind while you need to be away from your kitties. I would require a meet and greet as I believe this is needed to truly give the best service to your cats. If you think I would be a good fit, please place a reservation request. I would love to meet other cat lovers and their cats!

“Sharyn is a real pro and takes her pet-sitting role seriously. She is thorough, she's interested in the pets' overall wellbeing, and gives useful and complete updates about her visits. She took very good care of our two cats in our home and we will be sure to use her again in the future.”

“She did great! Some issues came up last minute and she handled everything with grace. She was able to get my anxious kitties to warm up to her. It was my kitties' first time being left alone, so I was worried, but her pictures and video updates left me reassured that they were doing well. When I got home, my kitties were unstressed and greeted me happily. Thanks again Katrina!!”

About: I’ve been working with dogs and cats since July 2020 with minor experience in a grooming salon. I’ve always loved animals and decided to start my own dog walking business in February 2022 and have loved every aspect of it. If you’re interested in boarding, please message me before booking. I enjoy getting to know pets and their families and always make time to go over all your needs thoroughly to ensure you can trust to leave your animal with me comfortably. Your dogs needs are always my top priority and will never hesitate to protect your baby in an unsavory situation. I can administer a range of medicine, including insulin and administer fluids, adhere to any dietary and exercise needs, and love going on long walks at the park. Dog walking and sitting is my full time occupation. I am usually walking dogs from 9am-3pm on a daily basis. I have a few families that depend on me daily and some for emergencies or last minute bookings throughout the week. I book most of my stays in advance and recommend that if I cannot leave your dog unattended for at least 4 hours to look elsewhere (sorry!). My calendar is updated daily, please reach out and say hello! I always make sure to meet with a family before confirming a booking. If the booking is far enough in advance I recommend at least 1 or 2 more visits prior to the families departure just to go over basic info, daily routines, and to let your pet get more familiar with me. I’m always happy to stay over night, am very friendly with neighbors, and am a quiet homebody type. I would never invite guests over while you’re gone and always make sure I leave your home cleaner than you left it. Your trust is most important to me and hope you will consider me when booking your next trip!

About: I've been caring for pets for a little over 5 years now. I used to work at a pet store handling fish, birds and small animals as well. I have a 5 year old golden retriever as well as 2 cats. I can help administer medications for dogs and cats that need it. I can also care for elderly dogs and puppies. I don't mind bathing them or doing nail trims either. I'm currently a college student doing online classes so I have plenty of time to drop by a clients house or to have them come to mine. Right now Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays work the mest with my schedule. I would be more than willing to negotiate other timings as well. I have a fenced in backyard and a dog to keep yours company. My entire house is pet friendly and welcoming. I can also crate your dog if needed and make the environment more comfortable for them

About: Hi everyone!! My name is Sherine! I love dogs and cats..well…pretty much all animals. I have taken care of a family members dog, by bringing it into my home when they were away, as well as stopping by their place to feed and walk their dog. I have sent pictures to update the family member in regards to when the dog was picked up, dropped off and photos of their walk. I understand the need to know because I would want to know ☺️ I am now going to be off for the rest of March except for like one or two days; unless something changes. Then I will update everything here! My schedule then by April will be open from 1:30 to 7:30. Please do not hesitate to reach out…you know how life is..one second ur floating and the next your saying what happened lol. I have an enclosed balcony for easy outdoor access and I have a room to host a dog or a cat. I have two male cats of my own who are very good with other animals.

“Magnum was super happy to have a first visit with Laura! He did so well eating and playing. He can be shy so having him comfortable right off the bat made us feel great. Thank you!”

“Miranda took care of our cat Tiny Tom during a short trip to Boston. Miranda left very detailed notes and lots of pictures of our boy. She was very responsive and we knew we left him in great hands! We will definitely reach out to Miranda in the future. Thank you!!!”

I’ll respect your home, communicate updates, and contact you if I notice anything unusual.

“Gary is the best cat sitter I have ever hired! He showed extreme care and conscientiousness in his responsibilities as my cats' caregiver, always on time, followed all my instructions, and communicated exceedingly well. I never worried once while I was away, and I would give Gary 10 stars if I could!”

I had a great experience 10/10 would recommend to anyone!!!! She even helped me in an emergency situation to run a household errand for me not involving my pets. Super easy to work with and smart!!”

About: Loving and experienced pet sitter with 5 years caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles. Expert in walks, medication, and keeping pets happy, safe, and loved. Pet lover and part-time worker! Available weekends and Tuesday, Thursday + Friday nights. Providing playful, attentive, and safe care for dogs, cats, and more with 5+ years experience. I gladly follow all house rules and owner instructions to ensure your pets are cared for safely, happily, and exactly as you prefer in home!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and am a huge dog lover. As I have yet to get a pup of my own, I’ve been sitting for family, friends, and family friends for more than 5 years, where I mainly housesit. I’ve had experience watching dogs of all ages, from grumpy seniors with medication to lively puppies who need extra clean up time, to anxious Covid babies. I am very detail-oriented as I respect that each dog has their personal routine and want to ensure that not much is disrupted for them when I visit/stay. I understand the importance of keeping in contact with owners (only to the extent that you wish to be contacted) throughout the day. I guarantee that I will take plenty of photos of your pet and will be happy to share them! Note: I am based in LES, NYC for the summer. I work fully remotely, so I'm flexible to working with your pet's schedule when housesitting. I'm available for afternoon walks, or to come to housesit from the evenings usually. I'm also willing to travel to housesit (I've travelled to DC before!), though this would require travel coverage as part of compensation. ***For house sits of 1 week or longer, I ask owners to support in covering my meals. Gift cards or a stocked fridge are very much appreciated! *** I tend to ask clients for a document with their pet's daily routine, and how their behaviours are. I will care for your pets as you would advise to care for them in order to maintain consistency and not confuse them. Afterall, I am the guest in staying in their space should I be housesitting. For walks and drop-ins, I would like to also respect your pet's routine and ensure that they are comfortable and at ease.

About: I am different from other sitters because I care about both pet and caregiver. I know what's it's like to leave a loved one to a stranger so I deeply care about open communication and lots of photos for updates! Due to other commitments from 3-8, I am available M-F at 8 am to 3 pm and then later on from 8 pm to 10 pm. On weekends my schedule is completely open! I make sure the pet is always at eye level to me. Double check everything is secure and where they're supposed to be. I will make sure that nothing dangerous is nearby.
