Pet Sitting West River

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs and cats. My responsibilities have included feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes and living areas, administering medications when needed, and ensuring pets receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I am attentive to each pet's individual needs and prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I am reliable, patient, and committed to providing loving, responsible care while owners are away. I’m currently unemployed while my children are in daycare and after school programs. Outside of appointments I’m free spending time with my cats and my females kittens I currently have 2 black cats. My female whom I rescued recently was pregnant and had 6 babies(3 weeks old) I’ve also had dogs and cats in my past. I love animals. My home is clean and organized.

“Jen was an exceptional sitter for my cat! She was great at communicating and kept our apartment clean and tidy. On top of the normal care I asked for her to do, she went above and beyond by cleaning my cat’s face and brushing him. I loved that she sent videos during her visits. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Jess was available with only a few days notice and was very prompt with all responses while scheduling. While last minute isn’t how I like to roll, our holiday plans changed unexpectedly. She did a great job with my instructions caring for our senior cat and left everything in perfect order. I’d recommend her without hesitation!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, especially cats. Over the years, I have become the go-to pet sitter within my friend group and regularly care for my friends’ cats while they are away on vacation. I also grew up informally pet sitting for neighbors and friends, giving me experience caring for pets in a variety of home environments and routines. I currently care for my own cat, Reami, a 3-year-old Ragamuffin whom I have raised since he was a kitten. Reami has anxiety-related health issues that can contribute to urinary tract problems, so I am very familiar with providing attentive, patient, and consistent care for sensitive pets. Because of his needs, I understand the importance of maintaining a calm environment, monitoring behavior closely, sticking to routines, encouraging play and enrichment, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. In addition to caring for Reami, I have also helped care for my roommates’ cats in the past, including feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and general companionship. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable caring for cats with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments — from shy and anxious cats to highly social and playful ones. While I mainly prefer cat sitting, I also have some experience with dogs, including walking friends’ dogs and taking them on hikes and outdoor outings. I am happy to provide patient, attentive care tailored to each pet’s personality and comfort level. As a sitter, I prioritize communication, reliability, cleanliness, and making sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. I am a graduate student whose lab is only a 15 minute walk away from home. My schedule is extremely flexible and except for few meetings throughout the week, my schedule is fully up to me. I am also able to leave at any point for short breaks to take pets out for walks/ check up on them. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I understand that pets — especially cats — can be sensitive to changes in routine, so I do my best to keep their schedule and environment consistent while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, exercise, and any specific routines or preferences. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for. As the owner of an anxious cat with special care needs, I am very attentive to pets’ behavior, comfort, and stress levels. I value patience, cleanliness, reliability, and making sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved.

“Emily was fantastic. Very friendly, and comforting- my cats loved her right away. Her updates were wonderful, and she went above and beyond cleaning a hairball 😭. Highly recommend ☺️”

About: I am a people and pet person! Growing up with animals, and sitting neighbors’ dogs and cats, I feel confident and comfortable taking care of other’s pets. I prioritize getting to know their personality to best meet their unique needs and match their energy! I am currently a full time student with flexible availability. I love long dog walks, staying in to provide good company, and other potential opportunities to meet your care needs. I am attentive, organized, and lead with communication. It is important to me for your pet to feel cared for, quirks and all! I love to share lots of photos during our time together. I currently have no pets of my own.

“Milo was great! They dropped in on my cat, followed feeding/medication directions, stayed for some quality time and sent some photos! Would not hesitate to hire Milo again!”

“Our two cats just had another incredible visit with their favorite sitter, Emily :) She is great at balancing playtime, cuddle sessions, and thorough care. Our two cats have gone through a range of various medical needs this summer and Emily has been fantastic at helping keep everyone happy and healthy while we've been away. We love having her as our sitter and can't recommend her highly enough!”

“Alyssa was a great pet-sitter for our 3 cats. One of our cats needs medication and she was able to successfully give it to her each visit. She also went above and beyond in caring for all of our cats and spent extra time with them while we were gone. They were very happy when we got home! I would definitely book Alyssa again.”

Dave F.

“Melissa and her family are so awesome and we’re so lucky to know them now. Our dog was so well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

“Andrea is wonderful! She was able to help on a very short notice and even extended the time of her visit. She was so sweet and understanding of my crazy 6mo old puppy! We can’t wait to use Andrea again”
