Cat Sitting in Barkley

“Cassandra was so wonderful - she always sent me plenty of pictures and even helped me when I needed a last minute visit due to an emergency! Thank you so much for giving such amazing care to my kitties!!”

About: My personal experience has consisted of hands-on settings caring for dogs through pet sitting, volunteering at an animal shelter, and helping raise and train my own dog from puppyhood. At the shelter, I regularly cared for and walked both dogs and cats, gaining knowledge and experience with a variety of temperaments and energy levels. I’ve also sat alongside a professional trainer with my own dog, watching taught me how to set appropriate boundaries, understand behavior, and use patience and consistency. In addition to basic training, I’ve taught fun commands like “roll over” and “paw.” Overall, I’m confident handling dogs with different personalities and needs. I prioritize being both patient and attentive while maintaining structure and safety. Your pet will be treated like family! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your pet lots of attention, exercise, and care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure each pet feels comfortable and loved. I’ll also send regular updates so you never feel out of the loop. I love all animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I always make sure they are always in a safe, supervised, and stress free environment. I pay close attention to them, follow any instructions you may provide, and keep walks and visits secure while aLeo enjoyable. I also believe communication is key, so I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away.

About: I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds, including working at a barn where I help care for 9 horses and give riding lessons, along with experience around dogs and other pets. Being around a variety of animals has taught me how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs while staying attentive and responsible. What sets me apart is that I’m very comfortable reading animal behavior and staying calm in any situation. I’m confident with more energetic or nervous pets, and I’m also patient with older animals who may need a slower pace or extra care. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any small changes in behavior to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. I’m reliable, quick to communicate, and I genuinely care about the animals I work with. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and able to fit pet care into my daily routine. I work part-time and spend time at a barn, but I plan my days around the animals I’m responsible for. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m good at sticking to a consistent routine that works best for your pet. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific care requests. I’m very aware of my surroundings, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are always supervised and safe. I also keep you updated so you feel comfortable and know your pet is in good hands.

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover from Wilmington, Delaware, and after retiring from 34 years in education, I decided to follow my heart and spend more time with animals. I've had all kinds of pets over the years—dogs, cats, even horses—so I know just how much they mean to us. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, kind, and caring looking after your pets (and your home) when you can’t be there. Whether it's a walk around the block, playtime in the yard, or just some company while you're away, I'm here to make sure your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved. I am retired after 34 years in education and have a flexible schedule that can meet your pets daily needs- morning, noon or night. Additionally, I have lived in the area my entire life so I am very familiar with the neighborhoods. I will visit your pets as requested. They will be walked responsibly and I will ensure they have fresh water and treats if allowed. If requested I will bring in the mail and any delivered packages.

“Elizabeth responded quickly to the booking request. She was very communicative with the visit.”

“Wonderful pet sitter. I didn’t know much about this app and kind of waited til the last minute. But Jordan was able to help me out. I got reports every day, pictures and a genuine rundown. Even though my cats don’t need much, this was huge for me because I haven’t really left them for long since moving to the area. This app and Jordan were a lifesaver”

Zach S.

“We never have people we don’t know personally help out with our dogs. Alana was our first. And she did the most fantastic job! We have two very stubborn dachshunds that she was able to take outside for a potty break. She was so patient with them. We will definitely be asking for Alana‘s help again. Thank you Alana!!!!”

“Maya was great with our 2 dogs. She was reliable and on time for every visit. We were away for a long weekend and were very busy. Her check ins and pictures of the dogs she sent showed me they were good and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely ask her again.”

Sandy S.

“Gavin is really great with our little Leo. He took really good care and prompt on communication. I got really nice pictures and updates. Thanks Gavin.”

Bharat C.

“Cara is the best! She takes care of Gambit as if he is her own dog. He looks forward to seeing her, going on walks and playing. I don’t think I’d ever find anyone as great as Cara! I consider her part of the Gambit family”

Howard K.

“Matthew provided excellent care for our two cats. He posted daily photos, which I greatly looked forward to each day while on vacation. He has excellent communication skills, and I know my cats will miss him! I would definitely recommend his services to any other cat owner that is looking for a cat sitter!”

Erin C.

“Linda is amazing beyond words! We feel very blessed to have found such a reliable and understanding sitter. Our cat is a Bengal, full of energy, and needs his playtime. Linda has done such a wonderful job playing and interacting with him during her visits, my cat really enjoys her company (and he’s not easy to impress!). Believe me, you won’t be disappointed if you hire her!”

“I am so happy to find Catherine to care for my Molly. Catherine is reliable, very attentive and communication could not have been better. I would highly recommend Catherine and look forward to working with her in the future.”

“I had a fantastic experience with Amanda, she was prompt, professional, and attentive to my Maytag for the week I was away. I would absolutely book her again for my next trip!”

Maria

“She is amazing! super responsible and quick to respond. She treated my cats with so much care and kindness, and the regular photo updates after visiting gave me real peace of mind.”

“Alex was great! We are so happy with her care of our best puppy buddy!”

Barbara W.

“Patti is an absolute godsend for us. She goes above and beyond to make our cat Arthur feel loved and cared for while we’re away which gives us a level of peace of mind I can’t even explain. I genuinely trust Patti so much with our fur baby and plan to use her again and again!”

Aimee T.

“Marissa is exceptional she took our 7 day appointment last minute and was very understanding and communicative. We were very skeptical at first using a service one to watch our puppy and two having someone coming in our home while we weren’t there. Marissa communicated every day as well as sent pictures. She definitely went over and beyond with our puppy “Buddy”, She bathed him, took care of his play pen area as we would. Im very thankful for Marissa and clearly Buddy enjoyed her as well.”

Lester F.

“Jeannette followed instructions that were provided! She was very thorough with her questions when we did a meet and greet. Would book with Jeannette again 👍”

Sarah G.

“Maya did an amazing job her first time with Luna! Luna takes some time to warm up, but Maya had her settled and loving her attention within the half hour. Will definitely have Maya back soon!”
