Cat Sitting Abington

“Absolutely. I’d make it a little warmer and more polished while keeping it natural: Emily did an amazing job taking care of my two pups while I was away for two weeks. She was very communicative whenever something needed my attention, but was also incredibly independent and trustworthy in caring for them. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care. I would absolutely recommend Emily!”

“John is truly amazing and I wholeheartedly recommend him to watch your little ones aka fur babies. He follows your instructions to the very fine details. He is super responsive. In addition, he will go the extra mile such as asking to clean up or take the trash out to the curb. This is my first time using him, and I have no problem looking in for a future visit. You cannot go wrong with him.”

“Jacqueline is wonderful. She is very communicative and we appreciate getting pictures of our pets while we're away. Will absolutely hire Jacqueline again in the future.”

About: While I may not have a dog of my own just yet, I’m a devoted cat mom and lifelong dog lover! I’ve grown up around dogs and have plenty of experience caring for the pups of friends and family, whether that means going on walks, keeping them company, or making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away. I decided to turn my love for animals into something meaningful by connecting with pet parents in my community and lending a helping hand! I understand that your pets are family, and I’ll treat your pup with the same love, patience, and care I give my own cat. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply some extra company and cuddles, I’d love to be there for them! My schedule is pretty flexible! I work part-time at Starbucks just three days a week, and spend most of my remaining time at home balancing schoolwork and fitness. This gives me plenty of availability for last minute dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. Don’t hesitate to reach out with the dates and times you need, and I’ll get back to you asap! Every home and pet has its own routines, and I’m happy to work with yours! Just let me know your house rules, your pet’s needs, and any specific instructions you’d like me to follow beforehand

I’m experienced in recognizing canine body language and adjusting my approach to accommodate different personalities, temperaments and behavioral needs. For cats, I prioritize respecting their boundaries, minimizing stress and allowing interactions to happen at their comfort level. I take additional precautions during walks, outdoor activities and home visits, including checking equipment, securing doors and gates, and remaining attentive to environmental hazards. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home. I treat every client’s property with the utmost respect and provide consistent communication, updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable and receiving exceptional care. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, attention and respect that I would expect for my own pets.

About: I have been around dogs and other pets my whole life! I grew up with Rottweilers and my family currently has Bernese mountain dogs and boxers so I understand the energy that fuels these big babies. I have experience with cats along with other animals ranging from farm to reptile. I have changed dog diapers, administered medications, and have provided care from puppy to senior. My current life does not allow for a dog and I just have a lot of love to give! I’m a teacher on summer break who also does not have much of a social life. I am very flexible currently and can fit with your schedule! I’m comfortable with what you are comfortable with! I have administered meds, changed dog diapers, and understand the importance of a watchful eye (my family dog will eat poop if she could).

“Mikey is great, communicative, and gives the most attention to our furry babies! So happy to have had him over to watch my girls. Will certainly be booking him again.”

“Jackie did a wonderful job caring for my two senior special needs dogs! Very responsible and professional.”

“Richie was very accommodating and receptive to the needs of our kittens. He was delightful to communicate with and responsive to all our needs. I would highly recommend him and use him to care for our kittens in the future. Thank you for all the tenderly loving care.”

“Jordan was literally a lifesaver. I initially hired her to come check on my cat a few times a day while I was across the country, but after a disaster with another pet sitter she ended up caring for my five month old puppy Scout too. My puppy can be quite a handful, but Jordan did everything possible to care for her. She went way above and beyond taking care of both of my pets, including regularly carrying Scout up a steep flight of stairs because she can’t climb them well. I got plenty of updates and pictures and never once doubted my pets were in great hands. She even brought my cat some new toys, which he’s been batting around for hours. I can’t begin to express how much I appreciate her care and attention in an emergency situation, and I know my pets feel the same way.”
