Cat Sitting in Allendale

About: Some people innately connect with animals. Maybe this cannot be taught or learned. Even those animals who "don't like anyone" like me. It's a gift. Perhaps they can tell I'm a gentle giant and it makes them feel safe and protected. Whether cat or dog or some other creatures, I will lavish affection and attention on them (if they're into that). Or simply let them call the shots until they're ready to warm up a bit more. As a large, fit dude, I can manage even the strongest dogs, but I'm nimble and delicate with the smaller ones and cats. It comes naturally, and your pets will sense it. Summertime affords more flexibility for me as a teacher. I do have another PT gig currently on Tuesdays & Thursdays in the afternoons. But I'm mostly available the other 5 days for now, and am willing to spend time with your pets before and after shifts on days I work. For many years, I've cared for dozens of friends' pets. Long before Rover existed, I was a resident car provider in my community. Everyone knows I am reliable, professional, responsive, and flexible. Clean, sober, non-smoker.

“Maria is so caring of our pup! We felt very comfortable knowing that our dog was well taken care of and genuinely cared for. She’s very open with communication which was very appreciated. She’s a great choice when you’re looking for a sitter!”

“Virginia took such great care of our kitty while we were away. She went above and beyond, spending extra time with her and sending photos. I knew our cat was in good hands which gave us peace of mind. Virginia is very conscientious and thoughtful, and I highly recommend her.”

“We loved her service! She was super sweet and helpful when she initially came over to meet our dog, Otis. Once we left for our trip, she sent cute photos and helpful updates. Otis was super happy and well taken care of when we came back. We would love to have her back again and appreciate her hard work.”

“Valerie is amazing! I had never needed to hire anyone to look after my dog before, so I had a bit of anxiety about leaving him, but Valerie soon put me at ease. Norman looked forward to Valerie’s visits every day, and it was clear that she not only has plenty of experience but also is incredibly compassionate. My dog is older, and she was great about giving him the right amount of activity and attention based on his behavior each day. I’ll be recommending Valerie to everyone I know.”

About: I have been surrounded by cats since I was a baby. I currently have two cats and would love to take care of yours like it was mine! I was trying to make a cat only profile but I could not find the only option. I'm currently trying to build a playpen out of my garage to board cats only. Each cat will have a big size enclosure and have individual brakes to play and roam around the playpen by himself. I plan to keep them separate from other possible guest cats to avoid any physical confrontation. You can bring your own food, toys and bed. Let me know if you have any questions or if you cat needs any special accommodations. I'll hope to hear from you!

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all personalities and needs. I’ve had cats since I was 7 years old and grew up helping care for my neighbors’ cats, so I’m very comfortable with feline behavior, routines, and building trust with even the more independent or shy kitties. In college, I volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained experience working with animals from a variety of backgrounds, and I adopted one of my own cats from there. I also grew up with dogs, including a Doberman and an English Bulldog, and today I have two Dobermans of my own. This has given me a strong understanding of both high-energy breeds and those that need a little extra patience and care. I’m also familiar with managing special needs, including caring for cats with megacolon, or who need special dietary needs. I’m attentive to health considerations and comfortable following specific care routines when needed. Whether your pet loves playtime, structure, or just a calm, reassuring presence, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and attentive throughout the day. I’m typically available for walks, drop-ins, or check-ins in the evenings and on most weekends. I also enjoy staying active, whether it’s going on hikes or getting outside, so I love incorporating dogs into that time for walks, fresh air, and exercise. Overall, my schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care while making sure pets get plenty of attention and activity. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their environment safe, calm, and consistent with their normal routine. I’m very respectful of others’ spaces and naturally clean and organized; I treat every home as if it were my own. I make sure doors, gates, and any potential hazards are always secure, and I carefully follow all instructions to maintain your pet’s usual schedule, feeding routines, and comfort. Building trust is very important to me, both with pets and their owners. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, and I’m attentive to their behavior to ensure they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet and home are in good hands.

About: Grew up in an environment surrounded by dogs and cats and have always loved caring for animals. I am reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing plenty of affection to help pets feel at ease. Pet care fits well into my routine. I am completely free on Mondays. I work from home Wednesday and Friday, and am available after 430pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as on all day weekends. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide dependable care, including walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and follow all instructions provided by the owner. I prioritize safety, maintain a clean environment, ensure pets have fresh water, meals, exercise, and attention, and provide updates so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for while away.

About: i am currently working at an all cat vet clinic where i have CSR and vet assistant experience. giving medications cleaning up after pets, feeding them as well as spending quality time with them. I used to work at a boarding place. I would walk, bathe, feed , give meds to and clean up after dogs and cats. I would play with them. Catch. I would also clip and grind their nails. I also worked as a groomer in PetSmart. I would bathe them and clip nails there. I enjoy working with animals and this is a great opportunity to do what I like doing while helping others if needed ! I hope to get to know you ! And hope to be of assistance soon. Can’t wait!!! I’m always open to any breed of dog. I have no preference. I love all animals. I’ve been around animals all my life and I enjoy every minute/ day of it. Thank you. i’m currently working part time so i am pretty flexible and am off weekends. I can go up to 3 times unless medications need me to go more times than that. i take care of them in your home so at their own comfort where they have their favorite toys, bowls and no new people or smells to keep it as stress free as possible.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and various animals across the years. I worked at Petco for about 5 years and had various training in cat care and dog care. I've have two dogs and one cat who I care for on a daily. I also have years of experience babysitting dogs. I'm currently on summer break so I have more time freely to invest in pet care. I would at least be about to care for a pet daily from Monday-Sat I'm very attentive to animals needs and behavior. I love playing with animal and making sure they get their daily exercise needs. I love walks with dog and always up for having an adventure with all pets.

About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes(and cats) and have been asked by many to take care of their pets while they are absent and so I know what type of attention I need to give to an animal when they need it. I also pay good attention to medications if one needs it. I love to play with dogs and cats, and make sure they get all of the exercise they need. I’m comfortable around all animals, and I’m willing to adapt and learn how to take the best care of them! I dedicate all of my time making sure that they feel loved, and energized while playing or just going on a walk. I have three dogs of my own, a German Shepard, and two Heelers, and they are very energetic, so I learned how to play with them according to their needs. Im home most of the day, so I am available for drop ins or walks, and can accept last minute bookings! With how busy life can be, I want to be able to take one less worry off your plate, and care for your animals in the way they need, so you can also take the care that you need. Currently, I have a part time job in the mornings, Monday through Wednesday, so I have plenty of time in my schedule for any fur baby! I have three dogs and two cats, so I’m not able to watch your furbabies at my house, however I would be more than happy to watch them at your house, or just take them for walks!

“Jahquan was a great sitter for our two dogs. We had him do multiple check ins during our few days away and throughout that time he was very nice and had great communication. I would definitely use him again in the future!”

“I went on a work trip to DC for a week and Brandon made having to leave Drax at home so much easier and took a lot of stress out of it. He provided daily updates and did even more than I even expected him to do. I am sure Drax is going to miss the week he spent with Brandon checking on him and keeping him company”

Kevin S.

“Ashley was great with our older cat Cleo. I could tell from our meet and greet that Ashley would be good, as Cleo (who doesn’t typically like people) responded well to Ashley right away. Ashley showed up as scheduled every day to spend time with Cleo, sent pictures, and communicated quickly with us. I would definitely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter!”

About: Hi! I am a teacher and dog lover! We have a large mix breed dog who loves to play and lounge. I used to volunteer at the senior dog rescue in San Francisco, Muttville and I have worked with dogs of all ages. I have week nights and weekends available to care for your animal. I am flexible when it comes to the care your indivisible pet needs. I am open to watching dogs at my house. We have a large, safe yard and they are allowed on furniture with their own blanket. If your dog does not do well with other dogs (young dogs), or they would be more comfortable in your home, I can do house visits.

“Morgan was so wonderful! Needed a mid day drop-in for my senior dog. Reached out with only a day or so notice (my fault) and Morgan was able to help no problem! Always nice to have a sitter in the area you can count on and trust, Morgan is definitely on my list ᵕ̈”
