Cat Sitting in Catawissa

About: I haven't had my own pets in a long time, but I've cared for over a dozen pets that I treated like my own despite belonging to others. I've introduced myself to and won over plenty of pets with my calm and collected approach. The majority of my pet care experience has been through visiting the homes of family friends to give their dogs bathroom breaks and be sure they have some company for a while as their owners are at work or on vacation. On multiple occasions, I've also stayed overnight for multiple days at a time. Because of this, I'm well equipped to meet your pets smoothly and cohabitate with them. I currently work remotely and have plans to attend college online, so I'll have more than enough time to visit at the very least. I can absolutely stay over, as I can simply work wherever I have my laptop if need be. Your pets will always be the first priority, of course. I do not have pets of my own at the moment, but I always treat other people's pets as if they were my own and with respect. If they want attention, they get it. If they want to be left alone, they will be left alone (within reason). Any instructions regarding feeding and medicine will be followed strictly.

About: My family raises Sheepadoodles and I live on a multi species farm in Wildwood. I worked for Puppingham Palace in their daycare. All age dogs. I am currently working a full time job I work week days only and will typically be available morning and evenings Monday- Friday and All day on weekends. The security of your pet is my highest priority. I am a stickler for all dogs to be properly fitted in their walking apparel prior to exiting the home and the security of all exits when leaving the home. I want your animal to feel secure, loved, and all needs including meds, feeding, and walking schedules to be consistent and timely. I have the highest respect for your privacy and homes contents. I am a fun, energetic and responsible, enthusiastic caregiver that has the mindset that your pet will feel cherished when you are away so you can relax and enjoy your much deserved or required time away from them knowing they are in competent trustworthy hands.

About: I have worked with all types of breeds and species from Guinea pigs to horse. I have worked with puppies who need to burn some energy or are learning to potty train, seniors who need special care throughout the day, and everything in between. I am currently a full time student at Mizzou studying animal science and am looking for a flexible way to earn money while home on breaks I have two pets at home, have volunteered at shelters, and shadowed at vet clinics. I am educated on how to safely handle stressed and anxious animals in a calm way and am educated on how to handle emergency situations when it comes to animals

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since I was little, and absolutely adore them! I love being with cats and dogs of any kind. I’ve watched my sister’s two dogs while she went on trips, and cat sat for my neighbor a few times as well! Because I am a handicapped person, I rely on transportation, which is why weekends would work best for any kind of pet care. I’m around pets 24/7, so I have my very own daily routine! I have a husky that, unfortunately, will run. Because of this, I put her on a little runner and watch her outside every second she’s out there. I also measure how much food my cats get every night and evening, and give my german shepherd his over the counter joint treats everyday!

About: I have 30 years of experience with dogs. I am now retired and would love to spend time caring for your fur child. You'll find I am very reliable and a good communicator. I love playtime, walks and spending quality time with your pet. Will feed, give meds if needed, take outside to potty, bring in mail, and water plants if needed. Prefer to come to your home for care. Possibility of caring for your small dog in my home (fenced yard) as long as your dog is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, friendly with my little Norman and is fully potty trained. I like to say "Pets are people too!" meaning that they have feelings and deserve all the love they can get. I am now retired so very flexible for daily visits and will update all availability. I have a reliable vehicle. Available per visit or daily. I care for each pet as I would want my little one to be cared for. If care is in my home, I have a fully fenced back yard. I do like to spend quality time when I visit and will want to meet you ahead of time at no charge to make sure we are covering all care needs and to get to know your pet.

“Leigh dropped in and made sure everyone had food, water, and attention. It is an unusual group: 4 pigs, 4 geese, 6 ducks, chickens and roosters. She made sure all of them were happy. Sent pictures or video every drop in.”

About: All my life, I have bonded with both dogs and cats, and animals in general. I have been told that I have an ability to connect with any animal effortlessly. While I have been dog-sitting for friends, family, and others for about four years, I also have worked as a Caregiver at CARE STL, an animal shelter in St. Louis. During my time at CARE, I fed, walked, played, and formed connections with over 100 dogs, as well as cats and other animals. After that, I started working as a server/bartender at Bar-K, to make money while still working in an animal-friendly environment. Since then, I have been a reliable, trusted, and consistent dog-sitter for many clients. The safety and care of any animal is always my biggest priority, and I promise that I will not disappoint! I currently am not working, as I have just recently graduated from Saint Louis University. In other words, I am more often than not, completely available to work anytime on Weekdays and Weekends. However, on June 1st, I will be starting an internship that requires 20 hours a week but my schedule is extremely flexible, as the internship is willing to adjust to whatever schedules I have. Because of my flexible availability, I am able to spend as much time with your fur baby as you would like me to. Whether it be cuddling, playing, or going outside, I will provide all of my attention and services to the care of your animals.

“First time using Rover and Liam isn’t used to strangers so we were both a bit nervous. Punctual; being right on time for the scheduled appointments, responsive with great communication and regular updates. The photos are a nice touch and helpful. Exceeded expectations. Thank you.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started caring for pets around age 6 and have continued ever since. I’ve worked in an animal shelter, giving me experience with a wide range of behaviors, personalities, and care needs. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for exotics such as reptiles, spiders, and birds. I treat every pet like my own and tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. Im currently available 5 days a week could do some check ins on weekends. Im unable to to boarding but can dog walk and check on pets. I am a single mother so I do have to make time for my daughter on top of loving many animals. Most days I am available after 8:30am to 2:30pm sometimes until 5pm. I have a fenced yard i would habe to do a meet and greet with the pets in my household and other pets from other homes first if I had them stay with me.

About: I’ve had my dog Teddy for three years, and my cat Squash for two. I love animals of all kinds and have been asked by family and friends since a young age to help them take care of animals. I’m gentle with touch but firm with my voice, love to train and spoil them, and adore going on walks. Your pets will be in good hands with me My schedule is really open right now, so I’m available for whatever your pet may need. I understand how important schedules can be, which is why I like being flexible. I’m very good at making sure that all the necessary tasks are met first when I get into the house, then if I’m allowed to, I usually try and spend a little time with that animal to gain their trust.

“Kiersten takes great care of my cat Georgie. She was even available to help me when I was in a bind and had to hop on a flight last minute. She sends the cutest pics and takes the time to play with my little guy so he has interaction! Super grateful for her.”

“Barbara did a great job taking care of my boys (cats) while I was away. She showed up as scheduled and took care of feeding and cleaning the litter boxes. I got photos each day which was fun to see and a video one day as well. Nice to know that they were well taken care of!!!”

About: My friends tell me that I am an animal whisperer haha! I love the company of an animal and giving it all of my love! I used to have a dog of my own, we were best friends, but unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. I’m not at the best spot in my life to have my own pet again so I wanted to find a way to still love on animals and have their presence! I currently have a full time job in St. Louis. I am available to WFH if I need to watch your pet(s) during the week!! More than happy to do so :) We have a very large yard/field behind my home but it is not fenced. I will be sure to have your puppy on a leash if need be!!! We also live in a neighborhood, off of the main road in town. I am also available to watch them in STL as I have family that live there!

But I have built in a mid-day break, of whihc will allow me to stop by and say hi to your furry friend. Additionally, my classes do not start until 9-9:30 AM, which will allow me to stop by in the mornings, if desired. My work day/ classes end around 5 PM each day, which will allow me to have plenty of time in the evenings to spend with your pet. I also have every Friday off, which will allow me to spend time with your pet! When I visit a clients home, will always make sure that their pet has enough water, and food. I will also ensure that any doors or gates (that are specified) are closed or open for their convenience and safety. Additionally, if I notice that the pet has gotten sick or made a mess, I will always clean it up with pet safe cleaners. I will also investigate and try to find out what caused them to get sick or make a mess. I will also record it and notify their owner of the occurance.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats and for a period of my childhood even lived on a horse ranch! I have a medical background and am a personable and trustworthy person to care for your pet.

Regardless, I have four days out of the week free and would love to fill that time caring for and loving your pet. I am trustworthy and can be relied on to care for your pet with safety in mind first, I will be consistent with your house rules for your pet and will treat them as my own.

“Nina is a literal angel on earth! Not only is she absolutely wonderful with our pets, but while we were away, a pipe burst in our house, and she took care of the entire mess. Nina is so kind, caring, and thoughtful. I recommend her to anyone a thousand times over!”
