Cat Sitting in Betterton

About: As a dedicated pet caregiver, I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and energy levels. I currently care for my own three dogs—a 5-year-old Rottweiler, Koda, a 1-year-old Shepherd/Pit mix, Gus, and an 8-year-old English Bulldog, Daisy—each with their own unique needs and personalities. From high-energy walks to gentle care for senior dogs, I’m well-versed in providing attentive, reliable, and loving support. I manage daily routines including feeding, bathroom breaks, and exercise, and I understand the importance of consistency and patience in pet care. My experience makes me confident in handling a wide range of canine behaviors and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, as I’m passionate about caring for animals outside of my full-time job. I work weekdays from 8 AM to 3 PM, which allows me to be available for evening visits during the week and fully available on weekends. This schedule gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care—whether it’s for evening walks, feeding, or full-day care on Saturdays and Sundays. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment. In my home, pets are treated like family—with plenty of affection, structured routines, and supervised play. I ensure regular feeding, bathroom breaks, and exercise, tailored to each pet’s needs. In a client’s home, I respectfully follow their established routines to help pets feel secure in their familiar surroundings. I’m attentive to each animal’s behavior and comfort, and I’m always focused on providing consistent, reliable care.

“Marissa is caring and reliable. She has been my regular cat sitter for more than 6 months and my cat is much happier for it. She is a great communicator and always sends cute pictures when she does her visits.”

About: I have been obsessed with animals since I knew what they were, so I begged my parents for my own pet. Then on my 4th birthday I was gifted my first kitten, and I was hooked since. His name was Sneaky Toto McPherson and it was through him and my first pup Nicole (gifted the year after) that my love for animals grew so much that I decided to make it my life's mission to help as many animals as I can. So I became a wildlife biology student and I am currently going to school. I have loved and cared for many an animal in my life and I extend that same love to every animal I meet. I am currently a student so my schedule is pretty flexible, especially later at night. I am happy to try to make whatever time work as long as I have a little bit of warning. Just let me know when you need me there and I will do my best to accommodate you! Well safety is priority, but second priority is many scratches for good animal friends. Medications and different accommodations for them to be safe, as well as keeping them out of trouble is always the top priority as most animals mean well but they can find themselves in precarious situations when left to their own devices. It is also important that for nervous pets that they understand that I am a friend and not to be threatened. Most animals tend to trust me up front but if they are still suspicious of me I know just the right treats and how to get them interested in me rather than worried (mainly keeping a distance and going about your day until they get a sniff, get used to my smell...then they notice the treat in your pocket and suddenly I'm not a bad guy anymore) If you have any specific questions about the Safety, Trust, and the Environment I bring to the table for your animals I would be happy to answer anything you can think up!

About: I've had the privilege to care for many types of animals through my life. Caring for animals is my passion in life, and I will happily care for yours like they are my own. My private sitting is more cost effective than boarding you pets. If you have multiple pets I am willing to negotiate my fees to help you afford quality care for your pets. It causes them less stress being in their own home. They won't be around pets they don't know. There will be no chance of them catching an animal illness or be injured by another pet. I will only be caring for your pets so they will have all of my attention and affection the whole time you are away not divided among however many pets are being boarded during that time. I can also stay with them overnight so if anything happens they will not have to wait until someone arrives in the morning to check on them. I will keep your pets on whatever schedule you would like. Depending on your needs I will happily take them for walks, play with them, love them, and am comfortable giving meds. I have taken care of pets for friends, family, neighbors, and clients. I also have experience with many types of animals, but will follow the instructions you give as you know what your pet needs more than anyone else. I will send photos and updates however often you would like to let you know how they are doing. Unlike leaving them at a boarding facility your pets will be the only ones I am caring for and will receive my full attention. I will also always have my phone on if you need to reach me about anything. I currently live with my husband, 4 dogs, 1 bird, and several hermit crabs. I work primarily on my computer and am home most of the day. My husband can care for our pets when I am not home so I can focus fully on caring for yours. If you need someone who can stay home all day with your pets while you're away, I can easily work remotely from your home. I may need to occasionally run errands, but unless discussed before hand, I will not be gone for more than 2 hours. I am currently unable to stay away from my home for more than 2 days as I have family obligations that are preventing me from staying longer. I should be able to return to longer overnight stays in the summer. I work remotely from home. This leaves me in a great position to work remotely from your home while caring for your pets. I also make my own schedule so if you just need me to stop by: to feed, play with, pet, walk, or just be there so they aren't alone all day, I will happily do that too. I will always listen to what you tell me your pet needs. For example if you have a fenced yard that you would like me to walk them in on a leash, I will do just that. I won't make assumptions about what is safe for your pet. You know them best and I will care for them in whatever way you want me to. Their health and safety is always my top priority.

About: I’ve been dog walking and sitting for neighbors since I was 12 years old. I’ve dog sat multiple types of dogs. I’ve done dog walking, check-in & potty break visits, and I’ve stayed at a clients home for long periods of time (5+ days) to be with their pups. I’ve also been tasked with administering insulin shots to dogs before. And I have a lot of experience with dogs that have anxiety, whether with new people, thunderstorms, or anything else, as I have one myself and a long remaining client of mine does as well. I’ve always loved dogs, having grown up having 2 smaller dogs myself. I am hoping to do pet sitting as a new permanent business, so I will have nothing but time to look after your pets! I will schedule out days and time periods based on client necessity and to provide the optimal care for your pets. Because I have two dogs myself, one of which has severe people and other animal anxiety, which for the safety of your pets and mine means I am unable to bring any pets into my home as of current. However, I’ve stayed at the homes of clients before to be with their pups while they’re away. I feed them every morning and night or make sure the food bowl is full depending on how the client feeds their dogs. I give them any medicine or joint tablets that they need to be well. I let them out multiple times a day whenever they need it. And I try to play with and pet them as much as I can while I’m there so they don’t miss their humans too much. I will even take them on a walk if allowed.

About: I have a veterinary assistant certification and 2 years of experience in the field. Animals are my passion and I love seeing them happy & healthy! My schedule is fully open. I have the time & flexibility and would love to care for your furry family member! Please feel free to message me with any requests! I have a small dog and two cats so I’m accustomed to their daily needs and care. I will keep all dogs on a leash at all times outside to insure their safety. Only exception being if the client has a fenced in yard. No human food or possible choking hazards will be laying around for pets to get into.

“We were nervous about leaving our senior cat with multiple health issues with anyone, but after reading Ciara’s profile and meeting her with Walter, we left him and our home in her care. She handled everything exactly as we hoped, followed instructions exactly, and kept us informed every day. She stayed until we returned, and the house was perfect. Walter was content, calm and happy.”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Briana, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From our first interaction, it was clear that she had a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of dog care. Briana took the time to get to know my dogs' personalities, habits, and specific needs, which put me at ease right away. During the time I was away, she provided regular updates and adorable photos, which reassured me that my pups were in great hands. Thank you Briana”
