Cat Sitting Bull Run

About: Throughout my life I’ve had 2 dogs, 7 cats, and I currently live with 3 cats. I don’t have a preference between cats and dogs, I love them equally! I don’t work a regular job so my schedule is almost always open for pet sitting. I’m free to house sit, dog walk, whenever you need me. I keep my cats indoors, give fresh water every day in their cat fountain. I feed every morning and every night on a consistent schedule, a mix of kibble and wet food.

“So greatful for Melissa's help taking care of my cat Luna. At the time of my trip, Luna was recovering from a wound that needed special care. Melissa was not only able to manage her care and monitor progress, but also somehow managed to get my extremely shy cat to warm up to her, despite all the meds and special care routine. When I got back Luna was in tip-top shape and a lot less mad at me for leaving than she usually is. Melissa will definitely be my first call next time I need to travel.”

“Amir is my new go-to dog helper! He is highly communicative, asks a lot of questions, is eager to do right by my three beasts, and always open to feedback. My dogs all seem to really like him (and two of them are pretty selective with the people they trust). Amir does a great job! And best of all, he really likes my dogs, and so I know he treats then as well as his own dog!”

“Molly was great. She sent pics with my two cats and also brought in packages while I was away. She stopped by while we were gone during a snow storm and checked the water for us and adjusted heat temps etc. I have already booked her to come for our next trip away and would highly recommend her. I am so happy to have find someone to trust with my kitties and home after recently moving to the area.”

“Lilieana was so kind and gracious in the booking process. She also lives nearby so made everything pretty easy. The pups looked pleased on the pictures and are happy that we are home . Frankie sniffed around for a little while wondering if she was going to come back. Definitely a great sitter pick.”

“Tori is amazing. From her communication to the details she gives us was very much appreciated while we were gone. I will absolutely use her again!”

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 :)

About: I have taken care of dogs since we found our pit bull mix while I was in the 2nd grade. I would help potty train with her, actively play,walk, and feed and water her while living at home. My family has always been dog lovers, and I am no exception! I now am a proud owner of a 1 year and 9 month old boxer named Copper. My hope for everyone is to find responsibility and companionship in pet ownership as I have. I'd be honored to be included in that journey with you and your dog/cat! While I do have a full time job as an in home caregiver of a disabled individual, my schedule can also be fairly flexible in the daytime hours and on the weekends. Please feel free to reach out, and I will do my best to accommodate your furry friend's needs. I'm willing to adapt to what the owner prefers. When I'm at home, I am always on the lookout for what my pet needs or wants. So, I am used to meeting the need of furry friends.

“Loved the pictures!”

About: I've cared for all kinds of animals since I was young, birds, fish, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, ponies, and horses! I volunteer at my local animal shelter and believe every animal deserves all the love and kindness and care in the world. I'm currently working part time as a swim instructor, so I've got plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I'm comfortable with all breeds and sizes of cats and dogs, and it's my mission to treat them with the utmost VIP(very important pet) care! I care for your pets the way I'd want someone to care for mine, with patience, kindness, and a whole lot of love. When I'm in your home, I keep their routines steady, their space clean, and their days filled with comfort and fun! Whether your pet is shy, bouncy, cuddly, or quirky, I meet them at their pace and make sure they feel safe and understood. From fresh water and tidy spaces to playtime, snuggles, and calm company, I'm there to make their time without you feel easy, happy and stress free.

About: I have over 9 years of experience in veterinary nursing with 8 years in emergency settings, I am very comfortable with all areas of pet care and any special needs or medications your pets may have. I would love to meet your fur babies and make them as happy as possible while you’re away! I am available on Friday and Sundays for walks and drop in visits, evening visits on Monday or Tuesday could be discussed. I am always happy to discuss my schedule more in depth in person to make sure you would be comfortable with the amount of time I can provide to your pet! I care for every pet as if they are my own. No one understands better the stress and fear of leaving your pet with someone you don’t know, I will do everything to make you as comfortable as possible with being away from them. Im also happy to send pictures and updates throughout the day!

“Elena is great and has been taking care of my boys for a very long time. Castle and yuma are big boys with special needs as one is extremely reactive and the other deaf and she handles them both perfectly. She is always on time and my boys love her. Only walker I prefer to use.”

About: I have my own car, I'm on time, I will take care of them like they were my owns. I've grew up with all sorts of animals. I've had dogs my whole life. I know how to control a dog fight it is happens. I'm a responsiable person. I don't leave the animals unattended for a long time. I let them out, give them water and food. They will get walked at least 4 times a day, makes sure they get some energy out and go to the bathroom. I love animals and I love helping people out. I feel like helping people out goes along ways. Will help you in the future sometime. I would love to have my own business when I'm older

About: Animals have always been a major component of my life. They tend to be drawn to me and trust in my patient compassionate nature. I have helped many friends and family with grooming their pets. I enjoy training puppies basic manners and have even taught my cat a few tricks. I love being outdoors and engaging with those around me. Dogs appreciate my high energy and positive reinforcement. My schedule is pretty limited at this time. Every day but Tuesday I am either working or attending classes 11am-730pm. Depending on distance of travel it is possible to provide walks beforehand, after, or on a Tuesday. Let's connect and see how I can best assist caring for your fur baby (: I am available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. Our activities are structured around a schedule that they'd typically experience to keep stress at bay. Lots of walks, treats, snuggles and play time! Respecting pet parents requests is my top priority. Let me know your needs and we will find something that works (:

“Megan is The Best. She did two drop-in visits per day for our two cats for a week. She took great care of the cats in our house. We will definitely use her again in the future. And she is knowledgeable of Verona’s practice and observant and let us when things didn’t look right which I appreciate.”

About: See my $20 Off QR Code in my photos! I love being around animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up in generations of animal & nature-lovers. It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I currently have a few tears in my meniscus which is preventing me to do rigorous walks. I will be scheduling surgery soon but that does not prevent me from tossing a ball around for a dog. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).

About: I have grown up with pets and even found my first job working at an animal boarding house. You could say I learned to become a professional dog walker at a young age. I have two high anxiety dogs and have been working on their social skills and coping methods to help their anxiety. I work full-time from home but take frequent breaks to let the dogs go out and play and take multiple walks a day to give them exercise. Weekends are mostly free to cuddle and to play with the fur babies. When house sitting or boarding pets I stay close so they be taken care of as needed. I keep my own pets on a schedule feeding, potty breaks and play with puzzles to earn treats. I will follow clients care guidelines to maintain consistency and keep them comfortable while their owners are gone.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and respect I have for animals. I don't see pet care as just a job—I see it as caring for a member of your family. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I believe in patience, kindness, and clear communication, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I'm happy to provide the care that's right for them. I'm also comfortable administering medications as directed, refreshing food and water, and helping maintain your pet's normal routine. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind while you're away. I'm a mom of three and work part-time in the medical field. My schedule allows me to provide dependable pet care while balancing my family and work responsibilities. On the days I work, I'm typically available after the afternoon/evening. On my days off, I have much more flexibility and am generally available throughout the day. I'm also available on weekends! If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out. I'll do my best to accommodate you and your pet's routine. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. They'll receive plenty of love, attention, and cuddles—if that's what they enjoy! I respect every pet's unique personality, boundaries, and routine, and I'll always care for them in the way that's best for them. For everyone's safety, dogs will always remain on a leash during walks unless we're in a secure, enclosed area with your permission. I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own, so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away.
