Cat Sitting Butterfield Lake Estates

About: I have taken care of cats since I was about 10 years old and dogs since I was about 13. Shortly after I moved out I adopted puppy then a kitten. It was definitely fun training my own puppy. I am currently a stay at home mom who also homeschools my kids. Our dogs are taken out for walks during the day and night. We love playing and cuddling with our cats and dogs throughout our school day. We crate our dogs when we are not home. If your pet is needed to be in a crate when you are not home, I can ensure that will happen.

About: We know it can be nerve-racking to trust someone new with your pet. Jonathan and I care for pets together. Jonathan brings a calm presence, a second set of eyes, and dependable backup, while I bring more than 10 years of hands on professional animal care experience from shelters, dog daycare and boarding, zoos, and other animal care settings. I've worked with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs, from puppies, kittens and seniors to pets needing medication or a little extra patience. My experience taught me how to read animal body language, notice subtle changes, handle pets safely, and follow detailed care instructions while keeping their normal routine as familiar as possible. We typically attend Meet & Greets and complete visits together, so your pet has a chance to get comfortable with both of us and you know exactly who will be caring for them. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, meals, medication, enrichment, or simply some company, we'll follow your preferences and get to know what makes them happiest. You'll get plenty of photos and a real update after every visit so you never have to wonder how they're doing. Our schedule is flexible, and we plan our bookings carefully, keep our Rover calendar current, and make sure we have enough time to give each pet our full attention. Unless we've agreed on a different arrangement with you beforehand, we typically complete our bookings together, which gives your pet two attentive caregivers and provides extra attention and safety during walks and visits. We also like to attend Meet & Greets together so you and your pet can get comfortable with both of us before the first visit. Before the first visit, we like to learn your pet’s routine, equipment, boundaries, preferences, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and safe. Long instructions and little quirks are always welcome — you know your pet best. We double check doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes, and make sure your home is secure before we leave. On walks, we stay aware of our surroundings, pay attention to your dog’s body language, and give unfamiliar people or animals plenty of space when needed. We never allow off leash time or interactions with other pets or people unless you’ve specifically approved it. We also understand that not every pet wants immediate attention from someone new. Shy or cautious pets are given the space and time they need to warm up at their own pace. Our goal is simple: follow your preferences, respect your pet’s comfort, and care for them as safely and thoughtfully as we would want someone to care for our own.

About: I fortunately was born into a household that loves all kinds of animals from fish to dogs to rodents. I have developed consistent routine skills just from the responsibility that is given when owning a pet. I have been a designated pet sitter for friends ensuring that their pets just as healthy and happy as they are with their owner! I’m patient and integral to instructions making sure each pet gets proper care. I’m especially good at training dogs, both puppies and adults. Pet care-taking has taught me fundamental values that I carry with me today! I’m currently a college student at Cal State University of San Marcos and commute back and forth. I am currently unemployed so my hours are very flexible and I am very available. My pets are primarily indoor pets and are usually hanging out on the furniture, however, I let them out my fenced backyard frequently for potty breaks or if they need to let out energy to play. During these times I make sure to an eye on them until they come back inside. I take them on walks every other day consistently in the morning. During feeding time, I ensure each pet is separated during and take any necessary precautions to prevent food aggression. I am attentive to any aggressive/bad behavior and know how to respond accordingly. On the other hand, I always make sure to reward good behavior with lots of love and treats. For cats, I am a clean freak and make sure the empty box is always empty. Overall, I provide protective but intentional care with all pets!

About: I’m an animal lover who has been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up around all kinds of animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals, so I’m comfortable with just about any animal you consider family! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk and lots of playtime, your cat prefers some quiet company, or your farm animals need feeding and care while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they’re used to. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, routines, or anything else that helps your pet feel at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can trust to care for them! My schedule is very flexible! I recently got my real estate license and currently work very part-time through a staffing agency when they need someone in the sales gallery. I’m able to choose which days I work, so I can easily work around pet and house-sitting schedules. I’m also up pretty early every morning and take my own dog to the park or on a long walk for at least an hour, so I’m very used to having an active morning routine with dogs. I’m happy to give your pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime and cuddles throughout the day, along with another walk or outing in the evening. I can be flexible depending on what your pets are used to and need! I want you and your pets to feel completely comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m very respectful of people’s homes and always treat them like I would my own. I’m clean, responsible, and mindful about keeping doors, gates, and anything else secure, especially with animals that may be nervous or prone to getting out. I also understand that every animal is different, especially rescues, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine, boundaries, or special instructions you have. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re gone, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

About: Hello 👋🏻 My name is Kaylee and I’ve been a professional pet sitter for about 5 years now. Over the course of those 5 years I’ve cared for all of the following animals: dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, turtles, lizards, hamsters, rabbits and horses. I’m in college getting an animal science degree and I’ve worked with a wide age range of animals. From puppies all the way to senior dogs and kittens all the way to elderly cats. *please know that while my listed prices are accurate additional surcharges may apply. (All prices will be disclosed before booking) I have a lot of availability for pet care in my schedule, I do have college classes I must attend and the occasional appointment with these being non-negotiable blocks of time I must leave the clients home to attend (which will be discussed ahead of time). However aside from that I have a plethora of time available to dedicate solely to your pet(s). *jobs that are “constant care” and/or have strict rules regarding how long the pet(s) can be left alone WILL incur a surge charge. I haven’t had a pet escape or get lost on my watch yet, and I don’t plan to start now. My childhood dog escaped once as kid, and even thought he was quickly found, it made me realize the horror of potentially losing a pet. As a result, I take pet safety very seriously. I will not walk a dog without a leash. I always double and triple check that doors are closed/locked (when appropriate).

“Sally was wonderful. She took good care of our girl, Annabelle, and kept us well informed, sending pictures from every visit. Best of all, she was helped out by her young son, Sebastian (a.k.a. Bash), who seems to have fallen in love with Annabelle. We highly recommend Sally and Bash!”

About: I have had a love and respect for all animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a small farm with chickens, goats, peacocks, ducks, one pig, and family dogs and cats. I remember waking up early before school to go feed all the animals with my grandma every morning(she lived with me and my parents). We’d take in every stray cat that wondered on our property. My grandma and i would catch the stray cats in a cage and take them to the vet. The baby goats would occasionally be rejected by their mothers which resulted in me and my grandma having to bottle feed the rejected baby. I truly had a blessed childhood to be surrounded by animals. Our first family dog was named Pepper and she is a Flat Coated Retriever. My baby passed over the rainbow bridge this past May and i was destroyed but she gave us the most amazing 16 years of her life being the most perfect angel well behaved dog. When i turned 14 i asked for a puppy and my parents said yes as long as i understood the puppy would be my responsibly since they both work and at this point in my time my grandma had passed 2 years prior. I said i understood and they got me an Alaskan Malamute puppy. I love him dearly but geese he was a stubborn trouble maker. I worked with him every day to potty train him and cate train him until we were comfortable with him free roaming the house. I also taught him tricks and how to walk by my side when we went on walks and hikes. He grew to the 120 pound gentle giant he his now. He lives in norcal with my parents while i’m here in socal for college. I currently do mainly remote social media marketing work. However i do have to go in person to my work randomly throughout the month but not super often. I live in a house with a fenced yard and six other female roommates. I love animals and believe attention and enrichment is very important when it comes to pet care and so I will do my very best to make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable whether that’s in my home or yours or simply on a walk!

About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs! I'm currently a student at home so, I am available to give your pet my undivided attention. I treat all animals as if they are my own, like family. I love to spend quality time with animals. I also have good hygiene. I believe this is important because we all know how dirty animals can be. I am gentle and loving.

I’m currently working part time. My availability varies so feel free to check with me and I will get back to you ASAP! I don’t mind last minute bookings as well as long as I have the availability! I have experience with house and dog sitting for close friends and family members. Not only do I ensure your doggy is happy and content, but I also make sure any mess your doggy makes is cleaned up and your house remains how you left it.
