Cat Sitting in Big Laurel

“Friendly and cares for your pet.”

Debi E.

“Kayla dropped in on my cat Marbles while I was out of town for a week, the first time I’ve ever been away from her. I was nervous to leave her but Kayla took great care of her. She even went the extra mile and took the trash out when it started getting stinky!! And I know Marbles loved her company. I’d definitely book again!”

“Tammy is wonderful! Super responsive and flexible even on short notice. She sends pictures and updates with every visit which is a great piece of mind while we’re away!”

“Angel did a great job taking care of our kitties and our house! She was responsive and sent pictures and did everything we asked and our kitties were happy!”

“Allie was on time and spent good time with our dog while we were out. Thank you”

About: Since I was 16, I have been the go to pet/home sitter for the church I grew up in. Word spread quickly of my reliability and soon, it became a full “part-time” gig. I’ve cared for birds, cats, dogs of ALL sizes, reptiles, fish, mice and lots of other gerbil sized fluff balls. Along with classic domesticated animals, I’m also familiar with caring for a handful of farm animals such as; chickens, goats, and horses. I’m currently working in the wonderful world of Wilderness Therapy. This means I work 15 days in the field and then have 13 days off. During these 2 week periods of free time, I would be honored to care for and get to know your pets! I’m primarily offering housesitting and drop in visits as I have 2 feline friends, Chloe and Noir, at home that are wary of “strangers”. I will spend as much time at your home with your furry child as you’d like, even staying the night if you’d prefer. The mornings and afternoons are dedicated to the doggos, specifically going on walks or getting some exercise! I am a reliable and trustworthy character that is honored to have this opportunity to snuggle and play with your hairy loved ones.

“Johnny is a fantastic pet and housesitter! He’s communicative, responsive, trustworthy, respectful of my preferences, and sends tons of photos and videos. My cats love Johnny!”

About: I have loved animals from the minute I opened my eyes. I grew up with the responsibility of caring for my critters (goats, horse, donkeys, dogs, cats) and now have two cats and dogs of my own! Within the last five years I have happily assisted friends and acquaintances with their furry friends as well. I am happy to meet y’all! It’s part of my daily routine to feed, water, and hangout with my fur babies. At this point it is second nature because I’ve done it for so long (my whole life). I will love on and play with the pet to their comfort level, am comfortable giving medication, and will send daily updates/photos! I do not house sit at my own home due to my critters

“I had a very good experience with Julie and am happy to find a reliable and trustworthy sitter that took great care of my girl. I returned to a tidy home and a relaxed and happy cat. I also really appreciate Julie's quick responses to my messages. Thank you!”

About: I love all animals and love giving them the care and attention you do! If your dog is up for it, I'll take them for a run or to the dog park near my house. Getting outside and running around are very important if your dog is able. As are snuggles, of course. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to do whatever your pup needs. I have a year old Aussie-Hound mix pup also and she loves to play with other dogs. She will be with me most of the time and is a great partner for old or young dogs. I think communication is key, especially in watching your pet! To ensure trust and allow you to rest easy, I'm happy to text and send photos throughout my time with your sweet animal! I feel that it's an honor to be trusted with your pet. I work full time but have flexibility in my schedule to be home with your pets, take them on walks or hikes, play, feed, and snuggle, of course. I live on a private spacious farm with lots of rooms for dogs to run and play. My pup loves other dogs too. Your pets safety and care is the upmost importance!

About: I've been house & pet sitting for many years. I'm very mature, responsible, and dependable. You can count on me. I love animals but don't have any pets because of my traveling lifestyle, so I love getting to bond with little cuties all over. I am a dance/movement teacher as well as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (a body-based trauma therapy). I work from home on zoom these days, so I am around a lot to give love to your pet. Some of my loves (besides animals) are dancing, traveling, photography, art projects, hiking, being in nature, and fixing up Scooby (my Honda Element that I've turned into a "Hotelement"). I've traveled all over the world until COVID hit, but since then have traveled across the country twice and am so appreciating the beauty of my own country. I am vaccinated and am very careful about COVID as well, so know if I'm in your home, I will be taking good care. I'm happy to take care of your pet in any way you need. The thing I have the hardest time with is saying goodbye to the little ones when it's time to go! I work for myself part-time on zoom (so I'm home a lot), so I set my own hours. This way I can work around the needs of your pet. I love cuddling and playing with pets. If it's allowed, I love having them up on the couch with me when I watch a movie, and don't mind them sleeping in my bed at night.

About: I have taken care of animals all my life, from my own to even cleaning horse stalls. Have experience owning chickens too! Our pets need love and attention just like we do! I will talk to your loved ones, play, walk and feed them. I work from home during the day, if your pet would like to hang out in my office during the day, I do short walks on my breaks. I am also available to stop by in the evenings for walks and feedings. Weekends I’m usually always available, let me know what you need and we can see what works for both of us, to make sure your loved one gets the very best care. I can stop by for visits, take your dog on walks, send daily pictures and updates. If you need me to come by a few times a day, I am available for that as well.

“Elizabeth took great care of our cats while we were away. While they’re too shy for socializing, she ensured that their food, water, and litter boxes were maintained. We would recommend Elizabeth and schedule with her again!”

About: I’ve fostered for about 3 years and used to volunteer at an animal shelter for a little over a year. I have 5 cats of my own back home along with one dog. I’m currently taking a few summer classes and don’t have time for a full time job. My schedule is pretty flexible. I am always available on weekends. I have plenty of experience with caring for animals. I learned a lot volunteering at a shelter for a few years. I also have many pets back at home and know how to handle different behaviors.

About: Growing up, my mom took in just about everything from scaled and slithering to four legged and prancing. I walked our dogs as well as dogs in my neighborhood for a little extra cash as a kid. I work a very open schedule, 7-8 AM leaving 8:30AM - 1:15PM open for me to hang out with your furry friends M-F or after 8 PM for their last walk of the night. Weekends are completely flexible! My dog and I go on three walks a day, so I know the neighborhood pretty, I make sure my furry friends always walk by the grass when we walk and walk in the direction of traffic so we see the cars coming. Your pets will always be on a leash when they’re with me!

“Maite did an excellent job watching our two cats!”

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience! I've always had pets in my life, and believe spending time with them is therapeutic. I’ve had many dogs (large and small), including very energetic border collies, as well as lap dogs and cats. I've also had pet rabbits, hamsters, chameleons, fish and tree frogs, and I've even rescued 6 squirrels. I love nature, hiking and running and would love to take your dog with me to explore the outdoors! I have several years of experience dog-sitting, including over-nights for several weeks with multiple large dogs at a time. I will give your pet lots of love and affection and treat them like my own! NOTE: * I charge $30 for Meet and Greets to cover my time and travel. * If the rates listed on my profile don't work for you, please let me know and I'll see if I can accommodate your budget. * I have a sweet border collie named Morris who is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs! He is a social, submissive, energetic, and playful pup. He has loved every dog and person he's ever met and has never shown any signs of aggression. For the safety and comfort of your dog and mine, I only accept friendly, well-socialized dogs. I’m a self-employed artist who is at home full-time with a very flexible schedule. I will try my best to work with your schedule. I welcome last-minute bookings and cancellations. I am very trustworthy, reliable and responsible. I earned my bachelor's degree in both Art Education and Psychology, and now I'm a self-employed professional artist. I've done a lot of petsitting and was a nanny for several years. I will give your pet plenty of love and affection and treat them like my own! If your pet has any special needs, please let me know.

“Our cats Trek and Flash seemed happy and healthy when we got home - what more could pet parents want. Alex played with them during each visit (evidenced by photos) which we appreciate so they were not bored, fed them, scooped litter, kept their water fountains full. We would definitely book with Alex again as the need arises.”

“So happy Rosaria was available for my last minute booking. I will definitely be using her in the future she’s so kind and sweet to my dogs they loved their time with her. She went above and beyond letting them play out all their energy.”

About: Just like caring for my daughter, I care for my dog just as well. And if I’m caring for your pet, chanced are they are being absolutely spoiled and will be worn out by the time they are returned to you. I am great at training and could have yours doing new tricks by the time they are returned. I can even groom/ nail trim on occasion if needed, just ask. I understand our pets are our family and like me, you’ll probably worry about them staying with a complete stranger. You’ll worry about them from the second you leave them with me until you get them back. But I promise I’ll care for them as they are my own. I’ll send photos frequently as I I know this eases worry. I do require you provide a crate in the chance wi leave the house. Your welcome to check in on them anytime without worrying that your bothering me. I work part time at a school so I am available to allow pets to relieve themselves and even get some energy through the day. I would care for a pet the way the owner cares for them. I wouldn’t want to change the pts daily routine so keeping them on schedule and following the woners pet rules is how I work.
