Cat Sitting in Barlow

“Michelle was the best Rover ever! She came with extensive experience with animals at the Humane Society, which is just what Spirit needed. Spirit was a rescue and although very well adjusted to her new home, having the most experienced and loving caretaker. At our meet and greet, Michelle asked about all of her needs, medical and how to play with her. She was an instant friend with organic buffalo treats on our meet and greet. In our week away we got daily updates with wonderful pictures of Spirit doing her favorite things from eating to playing with her favorite toys. The bubbles, the balls and her wand. She was a happy well fed cat while we were gone. She even turned up the heat on a cold day in Forestville. Michelle was a fantastic Rover and Spirit and her family were very grateful to have fo”

“We are very grateful we found Bernadette, She took great care of our two cats while we were away and very accommodating of the cats schedules and special needs.”

“Always reliable, and very caring:)”

About: A lifelong animal lover, I have cared for dogs, cats, and other pets for over 20 years. For the past decade, I have worked professionally in the animal care field, with most of my time spent in animal shelters caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, and more! Working with shelter animals has given me a huge education on how to approach scared or stressed animals, so I can work with dogs and cats that aren't comfortable with new people, and go at their pace to ensure a smooth transition. Working in a shelter environment has given me a solid foundation in canine and feline behavior and enrichment which will allow me to provide more specialized care to your pets. I am also working towards a Professional Dog Training certification with Karen Pryor Academy, which is a school with a focus on positive reinforcement-based dog training. I hope to be certified near the end of 2025. I currently have a flexible schedule and can work with you to meet your and your pets' needs! I am happy to accommodate schedule changes as much as I am able to. I am only offering dog walking and drop-in pet-sitting services at this time. I am happy to work within your boundaries to ensure safety and security for all.

“Clair is the best! Trusting someone with our baby has been tough, and she makes us all feel comfortable every step of the way. She also pays attention to important details and is flexible and reliable.”

“Tim is a calm and gentle soul, evident as soon as you meet him, and has a special empathy with dogs. Tim Falls is my dogs best friend. Over the last 2 years he has helped watch, walk, babysat, gave meds to and even stayed at my place to watch my boxer "Ryder"...we both miss him dearly. I cannot think of a better, more trustworthy care giver to your four legged family members. ”

“Kathleen has a gift when it comes to animals! I’m convinced that my pets love her more than they love me. She had sat for/walked my dogs and my cat, and my experience with her has been nothing short of amazing. She is attentive and compassionate, and my pets are always sad to leave her after they’ve been in her care. All three of my pets are senior citizens with special needs, and she is very skilled at dealing with their various needs and administering their medications. Beyond this, she is reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. I highly recommend her, and I would trust her with my pets again without question!!”

“Amanda was outstanding as usual. Our shy cat is starting to get used to her:) Amanda’s responsiveness and communication are excellent. We look forward to booking Amanda again.”

“Casey was a wonderful sitter for my senior kitty. She followed all instructions and played with her and sent reports and photos often and that really put my mind at ease. My cat seemed glad to see me but not overly needy. I would definitely use Casey again!”

“Hi everyone! I'm a big Holly (& family) fan. She's been house sitting and dog sitting for us for a couple of years, we have/had a golden retriever (recently passed away) and a medium size poodle mix. What I appreciate most about Holly is that she is very easy going, takes care of the house and the dogs, and is a joyful and happy person., I really don't worry about my house or the dogs when I'm away. These pets are my family, so naturally I want them to be happy and safe at home where they feel most comfortable. She follows feeding and care directions perfectly and my dogs are happy when I return home. I cannot endorse Holly enough. Thanks Holly & family!”

“Bernice is always so attentive to my animals. She is very responsive and always follows through. I have had only good experiences. I highly recommend her.”

“Nyah is a fantastic cat sitter! My two cats quickly warmed up to her wonderful caring style and were well taken care of. Her communication and photo-reports were fabulous and kept me at ease. When I returned, I could tell by my cats' demeanor that all had been very well with Nyah :) I highly recommend Nyah!!”

“Alexis visited our kitties once a day while we were gone and took great care of them. She also noticed and brought in a couple of packages that were delivered unexpectedly while we were away. Hoping to hire Alexis again for future kittysittings.”

“Nina is a very responsible individual who was raised in a household with dogs, sometime 3 at a time. Her mother was a dog trainer who modeled leadership skills and attentiveness to her dogs' welfare. Nina was often given the responsibility of the dogs' care when the rest of the family went out of town. She loves dogs and walking, so she's the perfect dog walker. She's both reliable and conscientious and I highly recommend her.”

“I have been friends and colleagues with Monica for nearly a decade, she is trustworthy, thoughtful, and caring. She has watched my dog, Echo, on a number of occasions. Echo is high energy and has epilepsy- she requires medication throughout the day to manage her condition. Monica follows Echo's medication schedule closely, and Echo always comes home tired after playing with Monica's friendly dog, Phoenix. Echo adores Monica, and I know she's in good hands!”

About: I have grown up taking care of different types of animals on farms, and house sitting for dogs! My neighbors, friends, and family have trusted and relied on me to care for their animals while they were away. I currently work at a dog kennel part time, so I can be available most of the day and all night to care for your dog! I have experience with all ages of dogs, and administering medication as well. I do not have any other dogs living in my home and I make sure that it is a safe space.

“She’s perfect!!!! Our cat loves her☺️☺️☺️”

“Elika was a wonderful choice for a taking care of my beloved cat and also housesitting. She was very respectful of the space, leaving it clean and washing her linens, and helped manage a leaky sink fiasco in my absence. She was a good communicator and sent us cute photos of our cat while we were away. I would definitely ask for her help in the future!”

“Sarah was AMAZING!!! She took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away. I loved the daily updates that came with plenty of photos. When I returned home both cats were calm and did not seemed stressed. I will certainly use her again.”

“Angelica has watched my dog Millie for me a handful of times. She is so loving and works very good with her! My dog is a border collie and was a rescue with a troubled background so she is very scared and Angel was absolutely incredible with her! I’ve never seen my dog warm up to someone so quickly. She was not ready to come home she was having so much fun! I would highly recommend Angel for how professional, caring, attentive and loving she is. She will always be my go to when I need care for any of my animals. She also administered all of my dogs Vaccines as well that you get from Tractor Supply for me. She is absolutely incredible with the animals and your fur babies will be in such great hands with Angel I can guarantee it!”
