Cat Sitting in Apiary

“Joyce stepped in to care for our two elderly, medically challenging cats after our regular pet sitter had to cancel last minute. She is incredibly responsive, friendly, and timely in her communication; she shared pictures and regular updates throughout her visits with our pets, and gave both our kitties plenty of love and attention in addition to their needed oral medication and twice daily insulin injections. Thank you, Joyce!”

“David took really great care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. Would definitely recommend!”

“Kris was amazing in taking care of my cats while we were gone! I can’t say how much i appreciate that they’re loved and cared for when we aren’t there. 10/10 definitely recommend, and will use next time we’re away!”

“My cat Mimi does not always welcome new people, but she loves Madison! Accepted her right away. Madison visited at the agreed-upon times and took good care of Mimi while I was away. Recommended!”

“Hannah was great!! She was very patient with my cat and his stubbornness with taking pills. She provided plenty of photos with daily updates. Excellent communication and response to my messages. Everyone was happy and healthy when we returned from vacation. Would definitely hire her again.”

“Very kind, easy to work with, punctual, and caring!”

“Brandi took care of our pomsky for a week while we were out of town. She kept us updated and was quick to respond to our questions. Our girl was happy and healthy when we arrived to pick her up. She is now our first go to anytime we need a puppy nanny.”

“Theresa is awesome! Diesel looks forward to seeing her every time. She made sure my animals were comfortable during my trip. The best sitter hands down.”

About: I started young, growing up with my mom’s therapy dog that she trained and certified to work in our local school district. From there I helped her launch a dog food and treat business! After that I moved into dog bathing/grooming and dog handling and management of a daycare and boarding facility from there! The last 7 years I have been working for daycare and boarding facilities, both as a handler and as a manager. In handling I honed my skills to allow for safe playgroups of 10-45 dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes. Management included management of an 8000 sq. Ft. Indoor space with 5 acres of outdoor space, and operating an individual enrichment program(IEP) for dogs that didn’t succeed or did not successfully pass evaluations or feel comfortable in large group play settings. Daycare is not for every dog, and that’s okay! Daily activities include: medication management, let outs, small play groups, food prep, general housekeeping, bathing and nail trims, and walks. I have been extensively trained in force free techniques to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. Training for handling included a 3 week hands on and in person course work with a test at the end. Extensive training on dog behavior, body language, and how to keep pets safe in extreme situations. I am working Monday through Friday nine to five and am available for weekend services, or services starting Friday evenings. I have to be available to be hour before or after that timeframe as well should I be called in. I have been extensively trained in force free techniques to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. I have dachshunds and they are a bit territorial, so I don’t allow for boarding in my home. But am happy to come to your pet and give them a day they won’t forget!

“I couldn’t be more pleased. Jane took the time to know me and my dog at a pre meet and greet . I felt very comfortable leaving Biscotti with her. I appreciated her sending a photo of their walk and debrief note after the walk . I will definitely be calling only Jane in the future”

About: I have been Dog/house sitting since i turned 16 years old. I have about 15 families that trust me with their fur babies while they are gone. I work 4-6 hour shifts part time, so plenty of time to be with your pup while you are gone! My work shift is the longest I would leave your animals with out me. While staying in your home I want to keep as close to your animals routine as possible. During the meet and greet I would love a little walk through of the typical day. Notes and reminders are always appreciated for me to look back on during my stay:) I like to send at least a text a day with a picture and an update, but I will always text back asap when reached out to. Lastly I can assure you your house will look the same, if not better then when you left it.

“Sydney has been an amazing pet sitter. I know that when I leave town my kitty is well taken care of by the best. She provides updates with photos and video. Makes sure litter box is always cleaned, pet beds always clean and food and water are always full and never empty, You can tell she really loves animals and will take care of them no matter what. When returning home my kitty acts as if I never left he is always 100% content and happy, he gets sad when Sydney leaves he just simply adores her love and care.”

“Jasmine was amazing with my pit Ella. She checked in on her and made sure to play with her and sent me update pics, which I really appreciate since I was missing my baby. I will definitely use her again when I go out of town next. Thank you jasmine!!”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets since I was 10 years old. I love to take dogs on walks as well as go on runs. I volunteered at a Humane Society for 2 years and came across a wide variety of dogs and cats, from size, breed, and most importantly personality. I enjoy meeting new animals and learning their favorite things to do. I also give some mean belly rubs and love to cuddle with furry friends. I am a college student who is home for winter break, so I don’t have many responsibilities currently. With that being said, I can make myself available for walks, overnight pet sitting, and drop in visits on Monday-Friday. For weekend visits I would appreciate more advance but I’m pretty flexible. I would love to make your pets a priority in my schedule:) As for safety, this can vary depending on how you want your pet to be cared for. Some basic safety measures I would take would be to keep dogs on the leash while walking them and making sure to go outside with the dogs when they go to the bathroom. For cats and dogs, I would make sure all windows and doors are closed so they don’t get out or get into something that they shouldn’t.

“The way animals respond to Trinity is great! She's such a fun and loving presence. I believe the animals can tell which makes them feel safe with her.”

About: I have been working with dogs professionally for 4 years, but have had dogs for many years. I also have 5 years experience owning and caring for cats, including special needs kittens. Happy to drop in or walk dogs of all sizes, and love doing cat drop ins! I have space to board medium to small dogs, and can walk any size pup. I'm happy to dispense any food or medication needed on whatever schedule is best for them. I work full time at a dog training facility, Saturday through Wednesday, and my wife is home full time to potty dogs or play with them outside, and i have time to do drop Ins or walks before and after work and have Thursdays and Fridays off, as well. Typically I'm able to drop in between 6-6:30am or 6pm and later on weekdays, and free availability on Thursday/Friday. Dogs boarding will be crated while I'm at work, and will get pottied before and after my shift, as well as walked, and if they are playful with other dogs will have a blast with my pack as well. Cleanliness and safety is number one. For cats, expect that I will sweep or vacuum spilled litter, clean up any messes, and give fresh water and food each check in. Same goes for dogs, as far as making sure dogs are safe and happy while in my care. If at my home, social dogs will get walks, playtime with my dogs and plenty of love. I treat guest animals as though they are my own.

“Autumn was great. Our cat and house were in great shape when we returned , which wasn't a surprise, since Autumn sent reports and pic every day.”

“Julia is great with parts she has a lot of experience with different animals and behavior. All my animals love her, she has a way with pets and can train them so easily. I would have her babysit mine all the time and they are great now.”

“Becky is the best! My dog, Dash tends to be nervous around others and new people. Within the first 5 minutes of meeting her, he was happily sitting on her feet, looking for loves. I highly recommend Becky!”

About: Hi there, my name is Donn, and here is a little more about me, I absolutely love animals. Big dogs, small dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, I love them all. If given the opportunity to walk or watch your animals, I would love them in your absence, take them for super fun and stimulating walks, and give them loads of attention. I grew up in a family where there was always at least one dog. Wether it be my grandmas, my aunts, mine, we always had animals. I have an 4 year old German Shepard/ black lab mix so I am no stranger to dog hair or high active personality’s. I also use to dog sit for my grandparents whenever they went out of town. I’m a stay at home mom and pet care falls under my umbrella of responsibility’s every day, including daily feedings, plenty of outside time, as well as mindful enrichment. I do also fit in plenty of doggie snuggles I have 6 acres of fenced in yard, as well as an in fenced backyard area. I have two small children who have grown up around animals and are no strangers to them.
