Cat Sitting in Benders Junction

“I highly recommend Laurissa! My dogs are nervous when I’m not home and I could tell by the pictures Laurissa provided that my dogs were comfortable with her.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have one (spoiled) cat who has been my best friend since I was 10. I regularly cat sit for family and friends and dog sit for my grandparents, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, and care needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, cuddly, or independent.. I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I work as a night shift nurse (7pm–7am) and typically work three consecutive nights during the week. On workdays, I am available for at most 2 drop-ins between shifts, depending on distance and timing. On my days off (usually 3–4 days a week), I have full availability for visits, care, walks, and extended time with your pet. My schedule is consistent, and I’ll always communicate clearly about availability in advance. I follow each pet’s routine as instructed, including feeding, litter care, walks, medications, and any specific quirks. I focus on keeping things consistent so they feel as comfortable as possible.

“We were very pleased with the way Gwen took care of our goldendoodle whole we were away for 8 days. She provided a variety of photos showing our dog walking, sniffing outside, eating, drinking and resting on her bed. We could tell that she was very comfortable. We highly recommend Gwen for short-term as well as longer drop-in visits.”

“Autumn did a great job! She gave attention to all 5 cats, fed them and played with them. One cat needed a pill and the other an insulin injection. She did great and we would have her sit for us again!”

“Autumn is my dog's favorite person to take her out. Autumn treats Lexie as her own and from the pictures from the sitting, Lexie always seems very happy. Thanks again, Autumn.”

About: I am an experienced dog groomer who worked at Petline Grooming for 1.5 years. I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs of all breeds and sizes of all temperaments/behaviors. I have lived with 3 dogs throughout my entire life. Since I was old enough to be independent, I was helping to feed and take out my dogs. More than that I love to make sure my dogs are properly enriched by taking them on daily walks and investing in new toys for them. I am an animal lover who would love to take care of your pets! I have lots of availability and plan on doing pet care full-time for the time being. I am available most weekdays and some weekends. I have access to a partially fenced in yard and multiple leashes and crates. At my house, I currently have a friendly dog who will keep your dog company. I am willing to take on any specific or special requests to ensure your pet is most cared for and loved properly!

“Yet again, Marisa has continued to exceed all expectations in carrying for our kitties and our home. Not only does she regularly collect the mail and packages for us, but when a bear got into our trash and spread it all over the driveway, Marisa spent time cleaning it all up before we returned home. I can’t express a higher recommendation for Marisa, we’d give her 6 stars if we could!”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I’ve helped with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies as well as senior pets who may need extra attention, medication, or a slower pace. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care, I treat every pet like my own. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and routine so they feel happy and stress free. I’m currently in school, but I have a consistent and flexible routine that allows me to provide reliable pet care. I’m available for mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day, as well as weekends. I always make sure to plan ahead so each pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. I always prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions to maintain the pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, litter box care, and any special needs. I make sure doors and windows are secure and that pets are supervised at all times. I respect each pet’s boundaries and take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious cats. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they feel confident their pet is in good hands.

I’ve worked with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet seniors needing extra patience and support.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, cows, chickens, any animals you can imagine since I was young. I was a professional dog trainer with a company for 3+ years and have had every breed imaginable with me throughout the years teaching them to be good pups through board and trains and lessons. All of my family and friends trust me with their animals and I know how hard it can be to leave them behind, with me I can update with pictures and videos so you can see how great of a time they’re having! I currently work M-T 10 hour days. Which soon may change, but that leaves me 4 days to help you out for weekend trips and adventures I have a semi fenced in yard, with room to run around, and all through town to go for walks! I have a super friendly dog, Luna, who loves the company. I have ruffland kennels and wire crates if your dog would need to be crated during their stay. And with my past dog training experience I am also able to work on any issues you may have with your pup while you’re gone!

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog mom for years — I currently have three of my own, all of whom I’ve trained myself or are currently in training. I’m patient, reliable, and truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from daily walks and playtime to administering medication and overnight stays. Whether you have a high-energy puppy or a senior needing extra care, I treat every dog like they’re my own — with love, structure, and plenty of belly rubs! Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine—I have three dogs of my own, so caring for animals is second nature to me. My mornings usually start with feeding, walking, and some playtime or light training. Throughout the day, I schedule time for enrichment activities, potty breaks, and cuddles. Whether I’m caring for my own pets or others, I stay consistent with routines, give plenty of attention, and make sure each pet gets what they need emotionally and physically. It’s a big part of my life and something I truly enjoy! I have 3 very friendly dogs who are all crate and house-trained. They have a consistent schedule and exercise daily! We do parks, walks, hikes, swimming, and running!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10. From our family cats and dogs, I’ve learned everything from training to grooming and even helping cats give birth. I got my own personal dog at the age of 20 where I had to train him from the very beginning . It was difficult at times but very rewarding. Seeing him being able to listen and obey even in stressful situations gives me joy… I work part time so I am home more often than I’m away . This allows me to take care of my animals and continue their training. If I’m staying in your home, I will do my utmost to take care of your pet and make sure he has an amazing time. I know being away from your animal can be stressful and frightening so my only concern is making sure that you and your pet is as comfortable as possible. So when you come back, your pet is happy and relaxed to see you. I will follow your instructions when it comes to taking care of your pet and if for some reason, there is a change I will let you know immediately.

“I’ve booked Olivia several times for check-in’s and she is very reliable and always comes through for us in a pinch! Great communication and of course Sully loves her - Thanks Olivia!”

“Kerry was a life saver at the last minute. She asked questions and I could tell she was invested in taking the best care of my pups. She sent pictures as soon as she arrived and judging by the pics and video she sent, they loved her right away. She updated me and I felt so at ease knowing she was there. So excited to have found a trustworthy sitter and cannot wait to book her again.”
