Cat Sitting in West Harrison

“Tara is an amazing cat sitter. We trust her with our Luna every time we are away and we come back home to a very happy kitty. We highly recommend Tara as a cat sitter. Thank you so much, Tara!”

About: I grew up working as a farmhand in Texas, which means I've been mucking stalls, working with animals, and figuring out what creatures need before I could drive. I bring attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to your specific creature and their specific personality. I've been pet parent to dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to my current Sheepadoodle — there's no dog size or personality that's too much or too little, IMHO. And my experience extends well beyond dogs — cats, snakes, farm animals, and more. I also happen to share my home with a ball python named Fettuccine Alfredo 🐍, who is distinguished, low-drama, and an absolute joy to know. I'm also a serious plant person. Indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about — I see you. If you need someone who will actually look at your monstera and not just splash water in its general direction, that's me. (My avocado tree, grown from a pit, is thriving. I'm not taking questions.) Housesitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, basic training — I've got you. And if you're going away and need the whole ecosystem looked after, pets, plants, and all, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into the rhythm of my week. My mornings are consistently free, which works well for walks and drop-in visits, and I have full flexibility on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for longer stays or housesitting. On days when I'm teaching in the afternoons and evenings, I'm still available in the mornings — and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I'm never stretched too thin across clients. This isn't something I'm squeezing in around a packed schedule — it's something I've made genuine room for. When I'm in your home for drop-in visits or housesitting, I treat it with the same care and attention I'd give my own. That means following your routines exactly as you've set them, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pets are comfortable and unstressed in their own environment. I take detailed notes at meet-and-greets so nothing gets missed while you're away. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and attentive to their individual energy and needs — a reactive dog gets a very different walk than a social butterfly, and I know the difference. I bring over thirty years of animal experience to reading body language and behavior, so I'm not caught off guard by much. My own home includes a ball python and two cats, so I'm well practiced in managing a multi-species household safely and calmly. I don't offer boarding, which means your dog's visit to my home would only ever be for a meet-and-greet in a low-key, relaxed setting. In any situation that feels off — health, behavior, anything — I err on the side of contacting you immediately and getting to a vet if needed. You'll never be left guessing.

“Our dogs love Andrea! She is always prompt, kind, and loving towards our dogs. We know that they are in excellent hands when she is taking care of them. We cannot recommend her enough!”

“This is the second time I've used Yuri and I'm extremely comfortable and happy while I'm away cuz I know she will take care of my kitties. I will definitely be using her in the future as well.”

“Jalyne is terrific! She dropped by promptly and was here to walk our three dogs. After greeting all of them, she took her time walking them around the yard (as we’d instructed her to do) and everyone had a great time. We’re looking forward to having her here for dog-sitting while we’re away!”

Tom L.

“Cynthia was punctual and followed all our care instructions for our puppy. He had a great time playing with her and we can't wait to have her back!”

Wanda L.

“Michael and Alyssa were great with my dogs, Tokyo and Milan. They followed everything exactly how I asked, which I really appreciated. It made me feel a lot more comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. Tokyo and Milan were well taken care of, stayed on their normal routine, and seemed really happy. I also liked getting updates while I was away , it helped me relax knowing everything was going smoothly. I’d definitely trust Michael and Alyssa again and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and attentive dog sitters.”

“Highly recommended! Great communication and flexibility!”

“!!WOW!! We had such an amazing experience with Andrew and we are thrilled to know we can continue to rely on him to help us watch our little babies! We had last minute sitting changes and needed to find someone to watch our two dogs during a holiday weekend the night before. Andrew was quick to respond and worked magic with his schedule in order to help us on such short notice! His communication while we were away was fantastic, full of sweet messages and pictures!! We felt so comforted knowing Andrew was there to be with them and take care of them. We will absolutely be asking him to help us out for all of our future trips and sitting needs for them!”

“Craig was amazing! He helped me out tremendously when I needed a dog sitter last minute for my 5 month old puppy. Not only did he provide me with pictures and details about his visits throughout the week, he also taught my puppy patience when it comes to feeding time and other ways to address her nipping. I would highly recommend Craig and would definitely use him again in the future!”

Christina S.

“Emmily is fantastic. She was on time, super friendly, and took great care of Jake. We received pictures and a full report on his time with her. Would highly recommend her!”

Robert L.

“Huidan is reliable. She took care of my cat exactly as instructed and is on time and communicative. I recommend her as a pet sitter!”

Joice F.

“I honestly love your visits and from the start I could see that Fumacinha remembered you and was comfortable. Thank you for taking the time to walk him in the visit and be so kind to him. It makes a difference and I always feel at ease even traveling. Thank you”

“Catie took excellent care of our 2 cats. One of our cats has special needs with a feeding tube in place. Catie learned how to administer medications thru the feeding tube. She picked it up quickly and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. She kept us updated with daily feedback and photos. She’s trustworthy and reliable as well as being very skilled at handling challenges which can happen with finicky cats like ours. Would highly recommend to others and will use her again.”

K. S.

“Great experience! Saiad was attentive, responsive, and took excellent care of Luna. We appreciated the updates and felt confident she was in good hands. Highly recommend them!”

Zhanna T.

“Jacqueline is not five but six stars! She truly goes above and beyond! She’s not only reliable—sticking to our schedule perfectly for 10 days, even on Christmas, or during a snowstorm, and freezing cold—but also a sweet, pleasant person to deal with. Her excellent communication, updates, and heartwarming cat photos eased our anxiety as first-time users leaving our fur babies. She’s now “our” cat sitter. Highly recommend her! Thank you from the heart.”

Ana C.

“Well, today is Shawn’s last day with; I don’t know who is going to miss him more… me or Max! It was such a relief to know that Max was being well cared for while I worked late these past few weeks. Shawn is amazing and a truly conscientious individual. I know Max appreciated having him care for him. I am going on vacation in June and will have Shawn care for Max if he is available on my date. Thank you Shawn, for being the wonderful man you are! See you soon! Max and Diane”
