Cat Sitting Arcola

“Our pets are part of our family. Honestly, in our home, they’re more like our children, so entrusting someone new to care for them is always nerve-wracking. Between supplements mixed into meals, automatic Surefeed feeders, and a Litter-Robot setup, there’s a bit of a learning curve—but Demang and Shirley handled everything flawlessly, as if they’d known our cats forever. From the moment they met, it was clear that Demang and Shirley have a special gift with animals—a calm, intuitive presence that puts even the most anxious pet at ease. Our shy, skittish cat (who normally takes days to trust anyone) warmed up to them almost instantly. And our other cat, who loves attention, couldn’t get enough of their affection and playtime. When we returned home, the funniest thing happened. Our cats barely lifted their heads to greet us once they realized it wasn’t Demang and Shirley walking through the door! That says everything about how loved, secure, and happy they felt while we were away. It’s rare to find people who care for your pets with the same genuine love, attentiveness, and joy that you do, but that’s exactly who Demang and Shirley are. They’re true animal whisperers, and I feel incredibly grateful to have found them. I plan to use them for all our future cat care needs!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs, from big, small, old and young. I have always watched my families and friends dogs and other pets. I’ve lived and worked with all kinds of animals. I also worked in a vet clinic for about 5 years and I also have worked in Petco for about 4years. I do have a full time job, but someone is home to help out with your fur baby. But Your pets will have all my attention when I am home and will be my main priority. I have a fenced in 8.5 acre yard. I live on a farm so I do have cows, and a horse. Your pet would have lots of room to run and play.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and have grown up with dogs as well so I understand that every pup has their own personality, energy level, and routine. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand the importance of following your dog’s routine, respecting any special instructions, and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them the patience, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m very flexible and can work around my part time job we can communicate what will work for the both of us! Feel free to send me a message! Weekends I’m always free for sure ! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), favorite activities, and any special instructions. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, keep fresh water available, and provide plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. I’ll also keep your home clean and tidy, treat it with respect, and send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Sophia came by for several drop in visits over the weekend while I was out of town! My two fur babies were well taken care of and seemed to really enjoy Sophia! She was very punctual and sent a lot of photos and updates! I highly recommend Sophia to care for your pups and I will definitely book with her again!”

About: I am a Navy veteran and registered behavioral technician with a pretty open schedule to take care of your furries. I’ve been an animal lover since I was a little girl. From having my own dogs and cats to making friends with any and every animal around me. You can assure that your pet will be comfortable and safe with me. Besides school full time and the gym every morning, I am open and available. The only time my schedule isn’t flexible is if I’m out of town. I have a fenced yard with plenty of running space. My home is also kid proof which oftentimes means animal proof as well lol. Everything’s copasetic

About: I’ve always had a love for animals, especially dogs! I grew up always having a dog by my side. My first dog was a Boxer, and later my family rescued a Terrier mix and then rescued a German Shepherd. Having dogs throughout my entire life has taught me how to care for different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’ve also helped take care of my neighbors’ pets whenever they were away, making sure they were fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of attention and love. I genuinely treat animals like they’re family (because they are!!). I’m the type of person who will stop on the side of the road if I see an animal that looks lost or needs help! I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so my goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. As a nurse, I work three shifts a week, which gives me plenty of days off to spend at home! On my days off, I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pet lots of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and of course plenty of cuddles. I only accept bookings that work around my nursing schedule, so I can make sure every pet staying with me gets the time, love, and care they deserve. Your fur baby will never feel like just another thing on my to do list, they’ll be part of my day! I live in a first floor apartment, which makes potty breaks and walks super easy and convenient! I make sure pets are always supervised and comfortable in my home, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine they’re used to, whether that means specific feeding times, frequent potty breaks, daily walks, medications, or a favorite bedtime routine. I know being in a new environment can be a little scary for some pets, so I do my best to make my apartment feel like their home away from home. I’ll give them plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and space to relax depending on their personality. I’m also happy to send lots of pictures and updates because I know how reassuring it is to see that your fur baby is safe, happy, and being loved while you’re away!

“Reagan did an amazing job taking care of our cat. Mama has a very hard time warming up to people but with Reagan, she was letting her pet her after only two days. Thank you Reagan for keeping our baby comfortable and happy!”

About: Hi, I’m Lina a lifelong dog lover🐾 with 16+ years of hands-on experience in behavior, boarding, and boutique-style care. I’ve created a calm, structured home environment where your dog is treated like family. My space includes a fenced backyard on the water, room to roam, and peaceful nooks for rest and reset. Whether your pup is social or more independent, I tailor each stay to their unique needs, energy, and personality. I’m deeply passionate about what I do. I’ve studied dog behavior and body language for over a decade and understand how to read cues, meet individual needs, and create a safe, low-stress environment. From introverted pups who prefer their space to high-energy dogs who thrive on play,every stay is adjusted with intention. My husband and I maintain an exceptionally clean, safe home. He’s fully hands-on and helps monitor the dogs whenever he’s available, offering added support and love throughout your pup’s visit. We sanitize thoroughly between every stay, use only filtered water, and keep the temperature comfortable year-round. Virtual meet & greets are available upon request (serious inquiries only). I’m happy to show you where your pup will eat, play, sleep and answer any questions to ensure full peace of mind. Please Note: I do not accept dogs with any history of aggression, regardless of size. This is a peaceful, respectful, home-based environment for dogs who thrive in structure, love, and calm. If you’re looking for a sitter who blends professional structure with real heart, I’d love to care for your furry best friend. 🚨 Must-Read: Drop-Off & Pick-Up Timing Policy 🟡 Timeliness is essential to maintaining a peaceful, well-structured environment for every dog in my care. I kindly ask that all drop-offs and pick-ups are made within your scheduled time window. ⏰ Grace Period: A 15–20 minute grace period is allowed. After that, a late fee will be applied. I design each day with intention,and waiting for late pickups takes time away from other dogs’ walks, play, and meals. ✅ If you anticipate being late, please notify me at least 2–3 hours in advance so I can adjust the schedule accordingly. I’m happy to update your booking and send a revised time if needed. 🔁 Please note: repeated late pickups without communication may result in a pause on future bookings. Thank you for respecting the rhythm of the home and helping me maintain a calm, structured flow for all pups. I look forward to caring for your dog with the same presence and love I give every guest. 🐾 Pet Care FAQ Bulletin ❓Do you accept both crated and uncrated dogs? Yes! All dogs are welcome, whether they’re crated or uncrated. Crated dogs will enjoy plenty of love, enrichment, playtime, and one-on-one attention,just like uncrated dogs. The crate simply offers a comfortable, familiar place to rest. It never means your pup will be confined all day. ⸻ ❓Why do some pet parents choose to crate their Dogs? Many dogs actually prefer being crated,it gives them a sense of security, like their own personal den. Some pet parents include crate time as part of their dog’s daily routine, and I’m happy to follow that for consistency and comfort. ⸻ ❓What if my dog doesn’t use a crate? That’s totally fine! I welcome uncrated dogs too, as long as they’re fully potty trained and comfortable being in a home environment. I always aim to mirror your pup’s routine so they feel safe, happy, and relaxed. ❓What’s your overall approach to care? 🟡 My care philosophy is rooted in calm, intentional presence. I create a safe, happy, and loving space where your pup can truly feel at home. Whether your dog prefers quiet cuddles or follows me like a little shadow, I gently adjust my energy and environment to meet their unique needs. My goal? To give your dog peace and comfort while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. This isn’t just dog sitting, it’s premium care tailored to your dog’s emotional well-being. ❓Do you take in more than one dog at a time? 🟡 I do, but with thoughtful intention. Sometimes I care for just one dog, and other times I host a small group, depending on the season and my calendar. What matters most is compatibility. I carefully screen each pup to ensure harmony, comfort, and safety for everyone. I don’t accept dogs with any history of aggression regardless of size, so the environment stays peaceful, happy, and secure. This curated approach is what allows me to offer boutique-style, stress-free care for every dog that stays with me. 🟡 I focus on creating a calm, present, hands-on environment, so I don’t offer hourly or ongoing updates throughout the day. If anything urgent arises, I’ll reach out immediately, no delay. That said, I do send thoughtful check-ins and a generous amount of photos so you always feel connected. ❓ What if I want more detailed updates? 🟡 ask me about the Daily Digest For deeper peace of mind, I offer add-on called the (Daily Digest Report Card) a premium upgrade that includes: • Meals & potty notes • Mood & behavior insights • Daily highlight videos & extra photos • Shared through your dog’s private photo gallery Perfect for pet parents who want to feel closer, even while away.

About: Hey howdy! My name is Delaney and I am a master's student and ballroom dancer here in Houston! I have loved taking care of animals ever since my family welcomed our senior cat into our home when I was 14 years old. She had spent two months in the forest on her own before making her way to my front porch, and the rest is history. I can't wait to meet and take care of your furry friends - they're my favorite study buddies! I am most routinely available on Friday nights and weekends. My schedule throughout the week fluctuates based on my clinical assignments, course schedule, and extracurricular activity meetings. If you are in need of services on weekdays I am happy to discuss them on a case by case basis! I take great care to ensure the spaces and homes I am welcomed into are well kept and that I care for the spaces of clients as if it were my own! My goal is to maintain your pets feeling of safety and security within their home environment. I prefer to have a walkthrough of the space as well before the first at-home sit but understand that this may not always be feasible. Along with information about your pet, it is also helpful to know if there are any off-limits areas in your home or potential safety hazards, so please let me know about these as well! Please also provide me with emergency contact information for you, or your veterinarian should it be needed.

“Frida cared for my big scaredy-cat Luna in my home for three weeks, and I was very pleased with her performance. She is a very kind and caring pet sitter, and she knows cats. Some sitters think they only need to leave food and clean the litter box, but Frida understood that Luna also needed company. This was the most comfortable I've felt leaving my cat and home in someone's care. I came home to a clean home and safe and healthy kitty cat. I intend to use Frida's services again.”
