Cat Sitting Candler-McAfee

“Carla was amazing. So responsive and such a sweet person. I felt so incredibly happy that she was able to care for Simon while we were away, and it seems like she made our little guy so so happy in our absence. Would definitely want her back ❤️”

“Andre was the perfect sitter for our two cats! He did everything we asked, was incredibly attentive and caring, proactively offered to do additional things to make our cats happier, and left very detailed updates and plenty of pictures for every visit. He left no question that we can count on him for future drop-ins.”

“Mirabella did a great job with our cat drop ins! I needed someone at the last minute, and she was able to go a few times over the Christmas holiday. She went above and beyond making the cats comfortable and making sure they had their appropriate food with medications. She sent pictures for every drop in and wrote a detailed summary of her visits. I'm glad we were able to find someone so reliable on such short notice to lessen our vacation stress. Thanks Mirabella!”

“Brittany is a fantastic pet sitter and just plain nice. Her relaxed demeanor was so impressive that my extremely shy babies came out to see her when she dropped in.”

About: I offer house and pet sitting, doggie daycare, and boarding services. I own two dogs and a Senegal parrot, and my experience with animals is extensive and varied, having cared for many different types throughout my life. I am passionate about animals and have a flexible daily schedule, along with reliable transportation. To ease your mind during your absence, I can provide regular photo updates of your pets, ensuring they are well cared for. Working from home allows me the flexibility to take pets outside for frequent bathroom breaks every 2-3 hours and for brief walks during the day. Daytime drop-offs for sitting can be arranged from 7 AM onwards. My backyard is securely fenced and my two small dogs are very sociable and welcoming to guests. I work from home on the computer and have the flexibility to provide outside trips and short walks throughout the day. I can accept day sitting drop offs anytime after 7AM. 🌳🌲🌳I have a big fenced back yard and 2 very friendly small dogs. We spend a lot of time outside working on the yard. The dogs enjoy chipmunk and squirrel hunting, and relaxing on the back patio. When we are inside, the dogs have prime squirrel watching on the couch under the big front picture window.

About: Hi! My name is Shannon, and I'm located in the Decatur area and have a degree in Animal Science from Michigan State University. I have many years experience in caring for all different kinds of dogs, from small to large and young to elderly. I have dogs, and understand exactly what they need in order to be happy and healthy. I offer the services of staying overnight with your pup, dropping in as many times as necessary to take care of them, and dog walking. Cats and other animals are welcome too! I like to send lots of pictures and videos to the owner and give them recent updates about their pet. I am flexible with my schedule and am willing to provide your pooch with whatever they need! Please leave me a message telling me what you're looking for and the dates, or how frequently you'd like these services. I look forward to sitting your furry friends! :) I’m currently working remotely so I will have plenty of time for your pups! I’m able to make my own hours, so with a heads up I can work around any petsitting. I care for pets in whatever way they need me to. If there’s a pet that’s happiest running around and playing then we can do that! Or if they’re a snuggle bug I’ll make sure to cuddle with them as long as they want. I always keep the home as clean as when you left it.

“Grace was amazing & I would definitely rebook. She spent so much time with our cat & gave her tons of attention while we were out of town. She sent tons of pictures & went above and beyond what we asked from her.”

About: I have been a frequent dog-sitter for about two years now but I have had dogs all my life, making me the perfect candidate to take care of your four-legged friends. I’m happy to take care of your pets because I enjoy being around animals! Most people would describe me as gentle and caring. I have worked with anxious dogs in the past and I believe I am able to make them feel comfortable and safe to alleviate any anxiety they face. I am a full-time student with classes on Monday, Wednesday, & Thursday so I am looking to watch your pets on the weekends preferably! But if you would need me for longer I will more than likely be open to accommodating :) I will follow any and all rules given to care for the pet. I love going on walks so if the weather allows it, I would love to take your pup on a walk! I am also a loving person who will be very affectionate towards the pet to affirm their safety. I have worked with both anxious dogs and cats in the past, and I believe I am good at soothing their anxiety.

“When my husband and I went on a 10-day trip, Jenn was wonderful with our two cats and gave me great peace of mind during such a long time away. Her reassuring messages and sweet photos were exactly what I needed to be able to fully enjoy our vacation! She's exceptionally responsive, very careful with details, and lovely to work with. I can't recommend her highly enough!”

“Ari was wonderful with our kitty, even handling a house problem for us while we were gone. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello, I’m Fern (Magdalen) I love animals, I find them to be the most pure little buddies. I have experience with leash pullers and dog reactive dogs. I have experience with cats with medical needs such as administering pills, ear drops, ointments and syringe feedings. I find that pets respond best when you speak to them like they’re human. I enjoy sticking to routine with pets and I ensure pups get plenty of stimulation! I work Mondays through Thursdays 7am-5:30pm. I work remotely Mondays and Wednesdays. I am available to house sit Fridays-Mondays. I am available for walks Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. Depending on distance, morning and midday walks are tricky unless I am house sitting. I pay attention to the animal’s needs. I tend to talk to the pet as if they were a person. I find animals respond well to it and it helps establish trust. I enjoy playing with both cats and dogs. Extra enrichment when the owner is away is key to help relieve pent up anxieties. I love long walks with dogs. I am good with routines and adhere closely to the guidelines set by the owner.

“Jessica was absolutely exceptional. Leaving your home and a young kitten in someone else’s care can be stressful, but Jessica made the entire experience effortless from start to finish. She treated our home with incredible respect, keeping everything spotless and exactly as we left it. More importantly, she gave our kitten so much love, attention, and playtime that we never once worried while we were away. She sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the week, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and made it clear our little one was happy, comfortable, and thriving. It’s obvious that Jessica genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. She is dependable, communicative, kind, and went above and beyond in every way. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitten and a home that was even tidier than when we left. We would trust Jessica again without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter or house sitter. She is truly one of the best, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Five stars isn’t enough!”

About: Equal opportunity animal lover since 1992. Life is better with a furry friend around. * Educated in some Veterinary Technician skills such as giving pills and injection medication * Energetic Personality to keep your dog engaged yet calm energy for cats * Able to handle different sized dogs My current schedule is fairly flexible for drop-in services or dog walks. I work part-time as a server and would love to spend the rest of the week with some furry friends. For dog sitting, I will need a week in advance to clear up any schedule conflicts, otherwise I may need to pop in and out throughout the day. When I’m out on dog walks, I really value your dog’s safety. I always carry pepper spray to make sure I can protect your dog if an aggressive dog charges during our walk. I also use body block techniques to keep your dog safe when off-leash dogs are around. I usually steer clear of other dogs on walks unless you specifically let me know that it’s okay for your dog to greet and interact with them. I prefer to be safe rather than risk your furry friend getting hurt. For cats, I’ll make sure they stay indoors unless you have a catio. If I do take cats to a catio, I’ll always supervise and play with them for a bit before leaving them to nap happily.
