Cat Sitting in Arline

“Excellent experience with Gidget. She was prompt, sent photos, and tried to coax the shy kitty from under the bed. When she had unforseen circumstances, she was quick to let me know of the change and still provided great care. Definitely will book with Gidget again!”

About: I have 13 years of experience combined between caring for cats and dogs. I have owned both all my life and have been sitting for years, exposing me to many different breeds, ages, personalities, and needs. I have experience caring for elderly animals and am able to safely lift and carry large dog breeds when needed—I know sometimes seniors can need a little extra help getting around or being lifted onto surfaces! I also have experience administering medication and vitamins. I am very capable of administering all of the basics as well, such as food, water, potty time, medications (if needed), and, of course, giving lots of love, attention, and cuddles. Schedule wise, I feel that I stand out and can offer your pet more because I am an online student and DoorDash for income. This allows me to be very flexible, insuring your pet stays on their regular schedule and gets plenty of love and attention! This also makes me a good fit to care for pets that require more attention and supervision, such as puppies, seniors, or those with medical conditions. I’m your guy, if you are looking for a experienced, trustworthy, flexible sitter who will go above and beyond to for your sweet fur babies, giving you peace of mind to enjoy yourself while you’re away! Currently, I make money through DoorDash and am an online student in asynchronous classes. This allows me to have a very flexible schedule and lots of free time. I am free to stay overnight and for longer periods of time if needed. I love caring for pets! Currently, I do not offer boarding at my home as a sitting option, but am more than happy to stay the night at the client’s home. When caring for a client’s pets, I make sure that they stay on their designated feeding, potty, exercise, etc. schedules. I also check to see if they need meds and administer those as needed. I will also spend time with them throughout the day, loving on and playing with them. If the client prefers, I will also stay the night with them. I love cuddling and sleeping with the animals, but I also respect that some owners do not allow animals on future or crate their pets at night, so I will always be sure to follow the client’s instructions and wishes in this respect, too. Trust me, when you leave your pets with me, it’ll be like they are going on vacation too! They will love our time together just as much as I will! As for the home, I will perform light cleaning and specific tasks (e.g., getting the mail, taking out/bringing in the trash, watering plants, etc.) and, of course, will clean up after myself. I always make sure to leave the house as I found it, if not cleaner!

“Rebecca was fantastic with my fur babies! She even made sure to clean the eye of my very shy black cat, James even though he usually runs away from new people. She was prompt when we have our initial interview and kept in touch with me when we were out of town. She's very detail orientated and you can tell she has a passion for animals!”

About: Hi there! I’m Deaf, 20 years old female. Ever since I first can remember, I always love to be around animals. Growing up, we have two amazing dogs, Pogo and Molly. (Unfortunately, Molly passed away last year.) Later on, while I was in middle school, we got amazing family cat, Zuzu. We used to take care of goats. (Tons of babies!) I would sometime going to neighbor and take care of their horses. I always took the offer to take care of dogs for neighbor while they are on vacation. I love to meet new animals everyday. There are couples of time where stray pets wander to our yard. I would take most responsibility to take care and make sure they are okay till they find their home. I used to volunteer at shelter animals and take some course for Vet assistant. I’m very flexible and faster to learn. (All we need to do is communicate through phone text or write paper!) I’m available at any points. I’m willing to work from early morning to midnight during weekdays and weekends. I would like if you let me know 3-4 days in advance. I am committed to giving pets my full attention. I would absolutely love walking them and feeding them, and I will make sure they always have fresh water. If you have a brush for dogs or cats, I would be happy to groom them as well. I will ensure they are okay and immediately let you know if anything seems wrong. I am attentive to their behavior, noticing if they need space or are hungry, and I will give them a calm, safe environment if they are nervous or uncomfortable around strangers.

“Ashlyn was amazing with our 4 cats over Christmas. I was sent so many photos of them happily playing and getting lots of attention. She even got my shy cat to cuddle with her! I was shocked to say the least. She even cleaned up all of their bowls so they were clean when we got back. I am so grateful to have someone I trust stay with my cats while we’re away. Traveling is already so stressful, but its much easier when you have someone there to care for your cats just as you would. 🥰❤️”

“Cody and Rachel are so nice and it is clear they love animals. They took great care of our cat while we were away and provided updates to let us know he was happy and healthy. We highly recommend Cody & Rachel and will definitely use them again!”

About: Vacations shouldn't just be for the pet parents, the pets should get a new fun experience too. This is why I strive to keep in step with your pet's routines whilst also adding some fun enrichment, ample physical activities, and extra helpings of love and attention. In addition to walks; if your dog is a social butterfly, like me, and they frequent the dog parks; let's go! I have a vehicle built for pet field trips/adventures! I have a gift for helping injured or sick animals recover as well , I just haven't had the opportunity to care for a special needs dog yet. That being said, I am willing to learn and follow your routines for them. I am very dedicated to learning more pet care skills. I even rehabbed an injured squirrel for about a year until she returned to the wild. So, I am skilled in helping pets that may need extra help/care or medical issues that require a little more attention. I am also a Licensed Massage and Cupping Therapist, though I am not certified specifically in pet massage, when I do give a dog a massage....They LOVE it! I am also willing to care for pets other than dogs or cats; within reason of course....not sure I am equipped for Lions, Tigers, or Bears... OH MY! So, reach out let's set up a meet & greet; I would love to come out and meet you and your pets to see if we are a good fit! I have most days free. I occasionally do some pick-up work on some nights here and there, however, it would not be for a great deal of hours, and I am able to get home (or to your pets) at a decent time on those evenings. I do prefer to meet both you and your pets first, before taking on a care request, to assess safety for myself and the pet as well as understanding their surroundings. This allows me and you to evaluate if we are a good fit. I believe this is the first step in creating a solid foundation for a safe and fun experience for all involved. Especially, until your pet(s) and I get to know each other better, I would say I am hypervigilant in the beginning; not just for safety precautions but also to understand their routines, needs, communication styles, learning styles, training levels, etc... I am at their side anytime we go out. Even if you have a fenced in backyard I will either be out there playing with them and helping them get in some physical activity or I watch them closely from a window or door. As we learn more about each other, I take great care in developing solid communication with your pet so that they can understand and respond well. The more "simpatíca" we are, the more trust is built, the better responds to commands, which in turn strengthen that foundation of safety. Beyond the pet safety, If I am house sitting for you, I strive to keep your home safe and clean. I will respect and protect your home as if it were mine. Even If I am not house sitting and only doing drop-ins or walks. I will stay observant and keep your home safe as well; let you know if anything seems amiss, grab your mail so no one knows you aren't at home, rotate which rooms lights are on in your house, etc... A safe environment means a safe pet! I am also good at communicating with the pet parents throughout my booked care time via pictures, videos, texts, and calls. My goal is to make sure no pet parents even have to wonder how their pet is doing. I prefer to keep you in the loop so it's not you having to reach out to me. Communication is key for creating the safest most comfortable environment for any pet.

About: I believe animals deserve to be treated with patience, respect, and understanding, just like people. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort level, habits, and quirks — whether it’s a shy cat that needs gentle space, a senior dog who moves a little slower, or a puppy bursting with energy. I know the signs of stress or discomfort and adjust care accordingly. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s an integral part of my daily life. Each day, I prioritize their needs around meals, exercise, and attention. I tailor care to each pet’s personality—whether they need activity, cuddles, or quiet companionship. Their comfort, happiness, and health are always my top priority. Whether in my home or your pet’s, I provide loving, attentive care that prioritizes their comfort and happiness. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean environment, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of social interaction with me and my own pets. In your home, I maintain your pet’s usual routines—feeding, walks, play, and cuddles—so they feel secure and comfortable in familiar surroundings. I always follow any special instructions you provide, including medication, dietary needs, or activity restrictions, and I send regular updates so you never have to worry.

“Lauren watched our cat this weekend and did a wonderful job! Our cat absolutely loved her so we will definitely be hiring her again. Lauren is very responsible, great at communicating, and sends photos of our sweet boy at every visit! Highly recommended!”

“Thank you, Kirsten, for looking after my dear companion in my absence. The daily notes and images really helped me feel at ease. Kirsten is personable, competent and, above all, reliable. My kitty warmed to her immediately.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I love playing with dogs and making sure they are comfortable and well taken care of . I’ve had English Setters, Golden retrievers, and Huskies. Although I do not have any dogs at the moment, I am able to help other owners take care of their four legged family members! I will treat your animals just the way you treat them, with kind and loving care. I enjoy taking dogs on on walks and can ensure that they will get the exercise they need and make sure to cater to any special needs your animal may need. I’m very good with dogs having a calm demeanor and environment for them making them feel as comfortable as possible.

About: I stand out for my hands-on experience with senior and sick dogs, offering gentle, attentive care. I’m also known for being dependable, punctual, and trustworthy. I am currently in esthetician school part time, I have all the time to play with & make sure your pup is happy and healthy!!! I follow all instructions and notes from clients intently to ensure a positive, and safe experience in the clients home and for their fur baby!!!

“Super responsive and took great care of the cats!”

About: Hello! My name is Mara and I would love to help with your furbabies while you are away and cant! Loving and compassionate towards any and all animals! I am a dog mom myself and know the struggles of finding a safe and loving place while away! I offer overnight stays, dog walking, and drop ins! I have 2 female dobermans who are gentle giants. One is 4 years old and i also have a 1 year old. She LOVES playing and having friends around! Small or large!! I can assure you that your dog/cat would be more than at home here and treated just as my own. I also have a 14 year old son who loves animals as well and really enjoys helping out with their needs. Looking forward to hearing from you! I work from home, so your pet will never be alone or crated all day! I have a fenced in front and back yard that are separated, they are let out very frequently as we go in and out all the time and they go freely as they want since it's all fenced in! There is nothing around my home that isn't safe for them they are part of the family when they are here! I work from home, so I am always here with them! No different from any other day except four extra paws and a new friend 😍 I have a fenced yard. The front is separated from the back so they can go out together or separately. Besides that they run free in my home, possibly crated at night time so we don't have any uh ohs!

“We recently moved to knew area, which meant getting a new pet setter. We felt completely at ease from the moment we met Amithyst. / She did a good job checking in on the cats every other day while we were out of town. Also she responded promptly when texted. / We’ll definitely use her services again.”
