Cat Sitting in Barton

“Cheryl was an excellent dog sitter for us! It was out first time having her take care of our fur baby, Lola. Cheryl had a good connection with Lola right away during the meet and greet and also communicated well with us then in helping us get to know her a bit and about the logistics of the care. During the 4 day pet sitting gig with a few drop in visits each day, she did an excellent job keeping us in the loop during each visit about how Lola seemed or what she did. That and the fact that she added pictures each visit helped me feel Lola was getting well cared for. Some of the pics were adorable, I might add :). Oh yeah, and she generously even left us some human treats on her last visit! I will definitely reach out to Cheryl again for future fur baby care needs!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.

“Ronda did a great job caring for my pets! I contracted with Ronda to care for my Spaniel, Gracie while I was gone for four days. We did a "meet and greet" prior to Ronda pet sitting and Ronda was very attentive and reassuring during her introduction to my pets. While I hired Ronda to primarily take care of my dog, Gracie, we also have two indoor exotic birds, a fish tank and a chicken in our backyard, I needed these pets to be cared for in my absence as well and Ronda was able to take care of the whole menagerie. She provided plenty of great photos and details of her multiple, daily visits, I was able to relax and enjoy my time away from home knowing that all my pet's needs were being met, I will definitely hire Ronda in the future.”

“Tori provides exceptional care and we are quite impressed with her professionalism and expertise. She’s been so patient and gentle while getting to know our shy girl who adores her now. Her communication has been top notch and we’ve so enjoyed reading her detailed report cards after each visit. I’m so happy we’ve found her and would recommend her to anyone!”

About: With over two decades of animal care experience, my journey began as a child caring for our family's English Springer Spaniels and cats, where I discovered my natural affinity for animals. This early passion made me the go-to caretaker for classroom pets throughout my school years. As an adult, I've owned several dogs, including a beloved Boxer who shared 10 wonderful years with me, and currently care for two rescue dogs - a Labrador Mix and a Pit Bull Terrier Mix. Through my extensive volunteer work at a local dog shelter since 2021, I manage the daily care and cleaning for up to 25 dogs, many with complex medical needs or behavioral challenges. My professional pet sitting experience spans over three years with private clients, and I've developed expertise in handling medium to large breeds with high energy and prey drive. I'm equally comfortable caring for shy and timid smaller breeds, reactive dogs, and senior pets requiring medication. My feline experience includes managing a Maine Coon cattery of 10-20 cats, and I've cared for cats in all life stages, from newborn kittens to pregnant mothers. Beyond cats and dogs, my animal care expertise extends to reptiles, aquarium maintenance, and farm animals including chickens, goats, and horses. I've also managed large populations of show rabbits, sometimes exceeding 100 animals. I'm comfortable administering medications to all species and have extensive experience managing special needs pets. My clients receive focused, individual attention as I do not combine pet sitting assignments. I currently work full-time Monday - Friday (7 am-3 pm). I also volunteer on Sundays (7 am-11 am). I’m open to weekday availability as long as the pet owner is aware of my work and volunteer schedule. As your dedicated pet sitter, I believe in providing comprehensive care that goes beyond the basics. During my visits, your pets will receive personalized attention through engaging playtime, appropriate exercise, and mental enrichment activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. I follow your detailed feeding instructions carefully and maintain clean food and water dishes throughout my stay. Understanding your pet's dietary needs is essential - I'll note their treat allowance and any food or environmental allergies to ensure their safety and well-being. Getting to know your pet's unique personality, quirks, and daily routines is a priority for me. I take time to understand their comfort levels, favorite activities, and any special requirements they may have. My goal is to create a stress-free environment where your pets feel secure and content in your absence. Housekeeping is equally important - I take pride in maintaining a clean environment and will ensure your home is in pristine condition upon your return. As part of my service, I'm happy to handle additional tasks such as watering indoor and outdoor plants, collecting mail, and managing trash bins. Your peace of mind is my top priority, both for your pets and your home.

“Alyson was so great with our anxious dog, Cooper. I loved seeing the daily updates. Cooper usually takes a while to warm up to new people but he loved his time with Alyson. Highly recommend her and will be happy to work with her again in the future.”

Chelsea H.

“Michelle was great with our challenging kitty! He loved her, even though he showed some attitude towards her on 1 day, which she dealt with professionally. The house was clean and dishes were washed. Everything was great!”

Debora A.

“Lynden and Timothy did a great job taking care of my 2 bullies for the weekend. They also do drop in visits one day a week for me. They always take great care and send great photos as well.”

“I can’t tell you, how wonderful it is, just following a chaotic cross country move, to find a treasure like Emily. I am the guardian “mother” of three special felines and Emily treated my cats as her own. They each have very distinct personalities and each were in good spirits, happy and content, upon our return. Easy communication, daily updates, and great pictures while we were away. Thank you Emily! Hope to have you back again soon! Leah .. Henry, Sally and Julia”

“What great dog sitters! Couldn't have been happier with the care, attention, and love my dog received while we were gone. Went above and beyond the call of duty. We feel very lucky to have found them!”

Angie B.

“Anika came by for the meet and greet and was exactly on time! She is very friendly and personable. She took care of our two cats while we were gone (although she didn't see much of Zipper because he's shy). She sent pictures each day of playing with Pixie. I would recommend her to anyone.”

Lynda B.

“Dallas did a great job of taking care of my 2 cats while I was. She is very responsible and definitely a cat person. My Romeo took to her immediately. I highly the and will book her again.”

Maureen J.

“Bobbi is fantastic! She’s great with our 3 dogs. One of them can be cantankerous and she was able to win him over no problem. We love the peace of mind we have knowing that she’ll drop in and let our pups play when we have long work days.”

Nicole J.

“Adeline is officially my puppy’s favorite sitter, and we look forward to continuing to rebook her exceptional services! 10/10 recommend her to take care of your pets!”

About: Born and raised in Northern VA. I have been, and continue to be, an animal lover for my entire life. I have been in veterinary medicine for almost 20 years. I went to the University of Rhode Island to get my B.S. is Animal Science with a focus in Veterinary Medicine. I am perfectly comfortable taking care of healthy and sick dogs, so please don’t be shy if your pet is taking medications or getting treatments of any sort because I can most definitely help with that! My knowledge doesn’t just apply to dogs either. I can take care of exotics, pocket pets, farm animals, birds, cats, and your plants! Humans create fascinating bonds with different animals and I hope to create lasting friendships with yours. I am currently a mixed vegetable farmer growing for the community in Boring OR. We are relatively new to this area and I am looking to establish a network here. I care for all the pets the same as my own, with respect. There is not much more to it except needing to complete the minimum wording for this box :)

“The absolute most fantastic care! Sarah is always going above & beyond of my kitties. I could not be more appreciative & I have such peace of mind when she’s taking care of Lucy and Logan.”

“Priscila was amazing!! After our meet and greet we had a huge weight off our chest traveling for the holidays and knowing our kitten was in safe hands.”
