Cat Sitting Carmel

About: I have been pet sitting since sixth grade, as well as having two dogs of my own at home. I have experience in all kinds of pet sitting. I was very involved in 4-H, so I have all kinds of animal experience. I am a college student home for the summer who is also an animal lover! I will be working a part time job this summer and would have plenty of time with your pet! I will make sure your furry friend is never lonely and is well taken care of! I love going on walks and will make sure to take them on many! I will also make sure to follow all instructions given precisely.

“Christel did a great job looking in on my cat for the week I was away for Thanksgiving. Highly recommended and I will continue to use her services.”

John S.

“So grateful for Clara's help today. We're juggling a lot as a family. She stepped in last minute and navigated a tornado warning tonight. Thank you!”

Jessicah & Chris D.

“Thanks so much for taking care of Emmett and Zuri!”

Emily B.

“Madison is AMAZING!!! My dog can be nervous around new people but she immediately loved Madison and was cuddled up to her during each drop in. She gave great notes, photos and was quick on answering. I felt so confident being away knowing Madison was looking after my dog - would 100% recommend!”

Kelly B.

“Kelly is great! Communicates well and our pup loves cuddles with her!”

Jill H.

“Danielle comes twice a week and two times each of those days to take our dogs out. She is conscientious about documenting their time together and making sure they get exercise. Highly recommend.”

Sharree G.

“I highly recommend Karmen! She is very nice and knowledgeable. We have 2 hard headed German shorthair pointers and one was stuck on a bird during her visit and she was able to get her back inside! Everything else went very smoothly. 10/10 experience!”

Peter B.

“Rachael was great! Our dog is a little bit of a special needs dog and he was well taken care of. She even brought in our packages.”

Maryanne M.

“Kathy was dependable and provided comments with pictures of each day's activity while we were away. She also took the time to have a meet and greet in advance of our scheduled pet sitting. We recommend her!”

Janet S.

“Tyler was very attentive when caring for our dog. We usually hesitant when leaving our dog with someone but Tyler was able to meet us prior to our first appointment and eased our concerns. We know things went well during his visit because his report card showed our dog brought out his toys - that’s a big win in our house! Thank you, Tyler! We will be booking you again soon!”

About: I’ve always had dogs, and have fostered (to adopted) medically high needs dogs, and have experience with bronchial scarring, incontinence, kidney dysfunction, partial blindness, deafness, hip dysplasia, leash reactivity, anxiety, etc. My own dog is a GSD-St Bernard mix so I am well versed in ultra large breeds. I work a full-time remote job with *some flexibility and have a dog of my own. The following schedule has worked beautifully when petsitting before, and can be amended as appropriate: -I will arrive early morning for walking & feeding and will work remotely (I do need reliable wifi and a clean, safe, quiet environment) at your home until lunch -I will do walking and feeding as appropriate and then will go home for the second half of the day to walk & feed my own dog. -I will return around 5 for walking and feeding, etc, and will remain until evening walking and feeding, and then will return to my own home to sleep. -Especially if you have a fenced-in yard, I can additionally let your dog out as many times as needed throughout the day while present between meetings. I typically leave a sat home cleaner than I found it, but please remember that you are paying for a petsitter who (bonus!) cleans, and not a combination cleaning/petsitting service. (If I don’t dust above your ceiling fan blades, please have some grace.) I will water your plants and take in your garbage and so forth, but note that excessive additional task requests will result in an increase in rate. (I have been asked to do heavy duty pool maintenance before and that is simply not my area of expertise.) I am a responsible and reliable adult. I will not bring third parties into your home, nor will I disturb your neighbors. (On the contrary, I’ve made friends with some sitting neighbors. I’m a pleasant person who likes to chat, what can I say!) I will mostly be working or reading on your porch or couch when not interacting with animals. I’m a working professional adult making use of extra time to save money: I’ll make things easy, respectful, and pleasant for you, and I hope you’ll do the same for me! I do expect that you alert me to any abnormal needs of your animal or home. (Does your home alarm randomly go off? Does your animal have daily gastrointestinal distress? Please tell me. This will help everyone.) I will send you pictures of your pets as much as you want (within reason, let’s keep in mind I will also be working), but will limit to once a day unless additional photos are requested, in order to preserve your peace during your time away. I am fine with additional animal maintenance tasks (for example, do you live on a lake and your dog loves to go for muddy swims and needs a hose-off or a bath, or perhaps needs an inhaler) but again, please note that these can affect rate depending on time and labor expectation, so please communicate in advance. Additional animals beyond two cats or one dog will result in raised rates. Thank you!

About: I’ve been a pet parent my entire life starting with dogs and evolving to include cats, a bearded dragon, birds, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds and rabbits. Most of my pets have been rescues. I am a volunteer for the Hamilton County Humane Society where I help with cat socializing, cattery cleaning, and the Pet Smart adoption hub. As I retired earlier this year, I have an open and flexible schedule. Because I am retired, my schedule is very flexible and open. I can be available early mornings and for extended drop-in visits throughout the day and evening. As a long time pet owner, I am very aware of pet safety and security. Pets will be closely attended and supervised for all activities during my visits.

“Beverly was great with my dog. She was available on pretty short notice to come over for a meet and greet and do one daily visit with our pup while my husband and I visited family out of town. She was consistently prompt in our correspondence and made the entire experience easy and comfortable for both me and my pup. Would definitely recommend her to anyone! ”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child. I love dogs and cats alike. I don’t prefer one to the other and have two cats and a dog of my own. I’m just patient with animals and experienced in following the directions of parents. I like your animals to feel their routine is the same as when their owner is home. I am currently working part time from home, so I have a lot of flexibility with my days to come and take care of animals. We have had dogs stay in our home with us. Our animals are extremely accepting of other dogs and we love to host them. I also have no problem providing care in the owners home. I’m here to meet your preference.

“Nakia has been amazing watching my 85 pound black lab Duke! I can tell he really likes her and she’s always been punctual with her visits while I’m at work. The rover cards she fills out with details are wonderful to have and she even got him some toys that he loves and plays with all day! I will definitely be booking her as long as she is available to watch him. Highly recommend!!”

“Megan was very kind and asked me questions and was very open to my cat’s quirky behaviors. I appreciate how thorough and prepared and accommodating she was.”

About: I absolutely love animals and have had plenty of experience at home dog walking and dog sitting for my neighbors. Although I have provided pet care while at home, I have been searching for similar opportunities while in school. My experience has consisted of me dog walking/dog sitting for Golden Retrievers, German Shepards, Shih Tzus, Labradors, Doodles, Westies, and Havaneses, and many other breeds. I enjoy dogs of all different sizes and would love to provide care while at school because I can't get enough of animals when I'm away from home. I am most accustomed to dog walking and dog sitting, which has included drop-ins and staying at a family's house while they're gone. I am currently a student, but during my free time would really love to provide pet care. I am a very responsible, organized individual who is able to provide day-to-day availability and can be a little flexible if needed. My love for animals is unexplainable and I am ready to keep your pets cheerful and safe! I currently am a part-time student so with my fall schedule, I'm available Tuesday afternoons and can be flexible on Fridays. My schedule is subject to change so feel free to message me and we can try to work something out! At home, I care for dogs both in and outside with a gated yard and am comfortable crating dogs if need be. I understand every dog is different and am adaptable to their needs.

About: I have four years of experience working in dog boarding facilities, where I held a management role and consistently ensured top-quality care for the local pups. I have experience with reactive dogs and larger breeds, so I am able to care for dogs of all sizes! I'm currently working part-time, but am slowly transitioning to staying home. I will gain more availability to spend with your furry friends in the near future! My pets are considered family. They spend their time roaming and getting showered with attention and love! My dog gets walked and taken out for hiking adventures whenever we get the opportunity!

“Jesse was great with our cat Orca while we were away! He helped keep him company and well taken care of. Our kitty had come down with an illness and needed daily medication - Jesse administered it every day, and gave us updates. We would love to have him watch our cat again, very trustworthy and responsive!”
