Cat Sitting in Canaan

“I had a short notice request and Gregory was so accommodating. He was great with my three goofy dogs and they were so happy after the drop in visits.”

“McKenna is amazing! We have a dog and a cat, and both quickly took to McKenna while we were gone for the week. She was kind and thoughtful with them both; she even got our picky dog to eat his food every day! Grateful we found her and would highly recommend her to friends/family. Thanks again, McKenna!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was ten years old. I’d love to take your dog out for a long walk and get him/her some exercise! I work remotely full-time, but my hours are very flexible. I can always take your pup for a midday walk, as long as it’s planned ahead of time. I will care for your dogs as if they were my own pet. I will adhere to a feeding/walking schedule that is customized to your pets needs.

“Ellen took wonderful care of our cat Seven while my husband and I were out of town for several days. She sent detailed updates daily with photos, made sure to give Seven lots of playtime with his favorite toys, and kept our home in spotless condition as well. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a responsible, communicative sitter who loves cats!”

About: Working in various Grooming/Training facilities. I'm currently working with Bumblebee Pet Care with 5 of my own clients. My conversations with the pets are amazing. I'm currently walking dogs 2 days out of the week looking for more to work with within the week. I have an open schedule and interested. I have separate spaces available for each animal. In my care at anytime, I will use provided equipment for transportation. Your pet safety is number one.

About: I have raised 3 dogs from puppy through adulthood with great love and attention. Looking forward to helping others with their beloved pets! Our home is heaven for any dog or cat. My wife and I both work from home so we're always around to provide attention, playtime, walks, feedings, grooming, etc. Our dog Moreno is super friendly and agreeable with other dogs and cats. Our son loves them too! Multiple walks a day, leashed or off depending on the dog. Gated porch for fresh air time. Dog beds, toys, lots of space for people and pets!

“Keri provided drop in visits for my cat. Not only was my cat content in knowing that she would be fed, played with, and taken care of - but my house was taken care of as well. I could enjoy my time away with no worries.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets informally for my entire life and professionally starting 12 years ago. I care for each pet like they are my own. I am sensitive to their energy and needs. I am able to work with animals who have unique social/emotional and medical needs. I mainly work with dogs and cats but am also experienced in caring for small animals like rabbits, birds, reptiles and fish. I’m currently working part-time, and my schedule varies a bit week to week. I am free mornings and evenings, most Thursdays, as well as Mondays after 2 pm. I usually work shifts under 8 hours, so with good communication I would be thrilled to come up with a plan that will suit you and your pet(s). For now, I am able to care for and board cats and small animals in my home. In the summer, I can board dogs in my fenced in yard. For dogs and larger animals, I can take them for walks and pet sit by traveling to your home. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I have managed to ensure my pet rabbit feels safe while also living with a rambunctious one-year-old labrador retriever. I am always cautious about my pets and my clients’ pet’s whereabouts. I’ve helped return missing neighborhood cats and dogs to their owners as well as assist with unexpected visits to the vet.

“Daniella took such amazing care of our sweet Gandalf, while he was sick and needed to take medicine orally. He didn’t make it easy but she was patient, kind, and kept our home in great condition while we were away so it was lovely to return home to. THANK YOU DANIELLA!”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was a young child. I have always felt love and responsibility to our animal friends. I worked with cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, horses, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I want to fill my days with helping wonderful pet parents provide the attention and care their pets deserve. I have multiple dog walks daily and will make sure your pet gets lots of love too. I am able to stay away from home for periods of time while my family helps care for my animals and home. I have 2 separate unoccupied bedrooms to allow for private space for animals. I live across from springside park and have a mostly fenced yard with leads. I'm dedicated to pet care. I have daily walks generally in the mid-afternoon. I have online meetings Wednesday and Saturday which I can attend in your home, mine or anywhere with internet access. I have separate spaces available for each animal in my care at any time. I will use provided equipment for transportation. Your pets safety is number one.

About: I have worked with herding dogs, guard dogs, sled dogs, service dogs, and pets of all ages. I treat dogs with patience and compassion and believe in training the individual dog in front of me with their owner’s goals at the forefront! I have thousands of hours of hands on experience and countless hours researching training and animal behavior. I am a self-employed artist so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to go into more detail about my living habits and daily schedule. My dog doesn’t “get into” anything he shouldn’t— including “stealing” his own food and treats, but through experience with my own puppies and client dogs I am well versed in taking extensive precautions to ensure the safety of animals in my home. I will not allow client dogs off leash but I have a 50 foot leash that is excellent for hiking with dogs. I am very observant of potential health issues/injuries. I am happy to expand upon the safety measures I take.

“Trista was wonderful! She sent great pictures of all the pets. They all look so happy and well cared for. Great communication and followed all instructions. You can tell she really cares for your pets. We would highly recommend! 😊”

About: Hello! My name is Alison, and I’d love to get to know you and your furry friend(s)! I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs my whole life, and have done many cat and dog sitting/walking gigs throughout the years (for pets of all ages). Additionally, I completed a 3 credit college course on pet behavior, so I am familiar with pet safety, the importance of body language, mental enrichment, and much more. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing potential opportunities! Feel free to reach out any time. I am a part-time employee, generally working around 30 hours a week, so I am often free before 10 am and after 5 pm. However, I do have flexibility, and I don’t work everyday of the week. I feed my pets two times a day and take my dog on walks three times. For clients, however, I can absolutely accommodate to your needs— let me know what works for you!

About: I’ve had animals throughout my entire life. When I was younger, my parents ran a boarding kennel and my father bred dogs. I grew up on a farm with about five horses, 35 dogs, several cats, a bird, lizards, fish, hermit crabs, etc. My father trained my brother and I to race sled dogs at a young age and we did that for several years along with horseback riding. With that being said, I have extensive experience with different types of animals, and I am confident that you’re fur baby will be in good hands and have the time of their life while under my supervision. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and I hope to hear from you soon! I am currently working at a private residence where I make my own hours , so I have plenty of time to take care of your baby! I can accommodate you and your pet(s)in whichever way you desire! I usually bring my little tuxedo cat with me on trips if it’s an overnight, but if you would rather me not, we can always work something out and discuss our options! (:

“Samantha is on time and does a great time caring for our dog!”

Scott B.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for about five years now and I have a lot of experience. I’ve worked anywhere from doggy daycare‘s to overnights to boarding dogs in my own home. I’ve always considered myself an animal person and I just love to care for them. I’m currently in cosmetology school so Monday through Friday, I’m in School from 9 o’clock until 430. After that, I plan to stay where I’m dog sitting for so that they get the most love and attention when I am able to be there. I really like to take it on the owners terms. I always prefer to meet the animal I’m caring for first however, if that’s not possible then it’s totally fine, however I like to listen to what the animal tells me, what boundaries it’s giving me, but I love to be able to play with them take them outside as much as possible feed them when necessary and give extra treats because they’re such good babies. I just appreciate the owners letting me know what they do and don’t want from me as a host.

About: Hello! I've been an animal lover my entire life. My dog, Zeke and I had a companion kind of relationship, built on mutual respect and happiness; it's something I wouldn't have traded for the world. He sadly passed away in October 2025 after 12 years together, so it would be an understatement to say I'm more than happy to pour extra love to your pup. Times are tough; starting a new 'negotiations and bartering' acceptance. Reach out, the worst I can say is no! Partial payment in veggies, meat, mechanic work...etc. Community care✨ ___________________________________________________________________________ This is a new offering as of August 2024. I have discovered that adventures are my ideal experiences and would like to advertise as such! Mountain hikes, kayak paddles (>15 pounds) are my favorites, but I am open to other ideas/training requests! Paddleboarding, swimming lessons...the possibilities are endless. One hour minimum is preferred; gas and travel time to the adventure site are included. I have many mountains, lakes and trails on my list, so I do not see it as fair to charge you for that time! You will only be charged for adventure time. Depending on your pup(s) comfortability in the car, we may travel up to 45 minutes. You and I will decide together on location details, and this app will track where your pup(s) and I are at all times. Wilderness First Aid trained, canine safety versed, ample water provided, and pups will always be kept safely on the leash. Your pup will return home satisfied and tired! ____________________________________________________________________________ For a NORMAL NEIGHBORHOOD WALK, please book a drop-in visit and message to remind me that you would like a walk. Availability for walks and drop-ins will change after Labor Day. Unavailable most weekdays 8-3:30, I am a caretaker by nature, and have been a teacher for the past 4years, a live in nanny before that and most recently a grade school teacher. I'm going back to school to get my licensure. Honestly, care taking and fresh air gives me clarity of mind, and the chance to peel away from the screen helps process all the new information! I am trying to practice running again too, if your canine would like to train with me. Familiar with many local trails and parks. All weather is good weather! Experience with dogs with seizures and giving various medications. Feline friend as well. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends ! I work at a school, but often have days and weeks off. Feel free to request and negotiate for what you need. Finding a good fit is paramount. I offer boarding very rarely. When I am in your home, I try to leave it better than I found it. I have spent a fair amount of time farming and gardening, so plants will be well cared for if asked.
