Cat Sitting in Charlestown

About: I have handled small animals and reptiles for 9 years, cats and dogs for 7, and horses and livestock for 6! I have a variety of experience with many different breeds with many different temperaments. There isn’t much I can’t handle! I currently only work part time at a local rescue/shelter so I have some time on my hands! I have my own car that I don’t mind getting some fur and dirt in, so if your pups are a fan of hikes or just want to go on an adventure that’s no problem for me! I take animal care and welfare very seriously, my babies get water and food dishes scrubbed daily, proper diet tailored to their needs, whatever exercise they require, and all the attention they could ever ask for! I will treat your pets as if they were my own, keeping a clean, happy, healthy environment for them!

About: I have grown up with dogs, and I currently work at a clinic where I see and care for dogs daily. Your animals will be in great hands! I work full time at a vet clinic so I am unavailable during the daytime, but I am open on the weekends. I may be able to squeeze in short visits weeknights! I am capable of caring for your animal in the ways you need, whether it is feeding, walking, playing, or anything else you might want!

“Hayley was amazing with Buddy, my high energy 4 month old pup! Buddy is my first puppy and I feel comfortable having Hayley look after him. She is very caring, organized, trustworthy and responsible. She genuinely cares about Buddy’s well-being and getting him the proper exercise he needs. I am so happy that I hired Hayley to do daily drop-ins. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for proper care for their fur baby.”

About: My whole life I've loved animals, it started as a young child when I'd rescue injured turtles and bring them home.. then as a teenager it turned into rescuing cats, dogs, geese, chipmunks, raccoons, opposums, rabbits, and birds. I had cats, dogs, fish and yes..2 rats as pets as a child. I currently have my kitty Luna, she's 5 years old and is just the sweetest little cuddle bug. Growing up I thought my animal soft spot came from my parents who used to occasionally rescue as well.. then I realized it wasn't that. It was just, I love animals. They're goofy beings, each with a personality of their own, and have nothing but love to give if they're treated properly. If I'm at an event, it's a guarantee I'll befriend the animals before any humans. I've been blessed that each animal I've connected with has picked up on the love I have for them and typically trust me just about instantly. Since my teenage years, I started doing daily drop-ins which quickly grew to over night stays for night long furry cuddles. I currently care for 4 familes, 2 with pets on medications and my flexible job lets me balance both perfectly! I've been a nail technician for 6 years, which has given me the flexibility to set my own schedule. Because of this, I can easily come and go as needed, fitting pet care seamessly into my daily routine. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care to each pet, ensuring they get the time and attention they deserve. At this time I only provide pet care in the clients home. I make sure to follow each pets routine closely, keeping their environment safe and familiar, and provide regular updates to owners. I ensure I keep a clean, secure space and respect each pet's, and their owners, comfort and boundaries so they feel at ease. I also pride myself on being responsible and reliable. I have my own car and hold my own personal vehicle insurace, so I can take pets to appointments or emergencies if needed, within reason.

“Frank is very kind and my doggie Dutchess took right to him. I appreciate all the Love you gave my girl while I was gone and all the pics you supplied me. Would definitely have Frank watch my dog again 10/10”

About: I have taken care of animals for a long time. My friends and family rely on me to feed, walk, give medicine, etc. their pets. I also have experience with caring for horses, fish, birds, reptiles not just dogs and cats. I have taken care of rabbits, mini pigs, guinea pigs as well. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to taking care of your pets. I do attend college online, so there are a few hours I am busy. The benefit of me staying at the client's house is that their pet(s) will be more comfortable in a familiar surroundings. The pet(s) won't be stressed out by being in unfamiliar places and around unfamiliar animals.

“Matthew did a fantastic job doing daily drop in visits with our two cats while we were out of town for a week and a half. Will attempt to book him again when we go on any other extended trips.”

About: I absolutely love animals and caring for them! I grew up with 2 dogs and now have 2 cats a dog and an African Grey bird. I’ve been dog sitting for years. I take pride in giving pups the best vacation of their little lives🥰 During the summer I have a very open schedule which makes it easy for me to dog sit or dog walk anytime of the day. I do go on vacation a couple times but usually not for very long, I also have a part-time job at the moment which helps for a flexible schedule to help people and their pets! I am very attentive and loving towards my pets and others I have had in my care. I love being outside and playing with dogs, as well as being responsible for their needs and what the pet owner expects of me.

About: I have owned dogs all my life and currently have one . I treat my dog like family. I take her for car rides with me and we play ball outside. She is totally spoiled with treats and lots of luv and kisses. I’m currently retired so I have lots of time to spend with your fur babies. The first thing I do is to make sure they go potty outside and make sure they r fed. I will make sure that they are fed and have plenty of water to drink. If they like to exercise I can take them for a walk or play with them at your house

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I’ve had the joy of looking after a wide variety of animals, from playful puppies and independent cats to curious rabbits. My approach is always tailored to each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I bring dedication and a genuine passion for animal welfare to every job. This extensive experience has taught me how to handle different temperaments and health requirements, making me a reliable and compassionate pet sitter for any furry friend. I am available on weekends, as well as all day Monday, and on Wednesday and Friday evenings. Willing to stay with you pets for the whole weekend or pop in on those days i’m free! There is a fenced yard at my parents' home with five dogs, and I often play ball with them outside. I also have a fenced yard at my place for my 2-year-old Mini Aussie, where we enjoy playing outdoors as well. He has two full toy baskets and bark boxes every month! He is very loved (spoiled) :)!

About: I grew up with two dogs at home, a small schnauzer poodle mix and a larger vizsla. I have been taking care of them and walking them consistently for around 6 years. One is very energetic, friendly, but pulls a lot on a leash and the other is more reserved and not great with other dogs, so I have experience working with both types of dogs. I also was taking care of a friend’s puppy recently, so I am experienced with puppies/younger dogs as well. I just recently got a kitten and I am obsessed with her! I am available almost every morning/early afternoon. There are a few days during the week where I am available all day. Available on some weekends as well. My care is guided by information from clients about their pets. You know your pet best! I am always willing to switch up my approach based on each pet’s individual needs!

About: I have over five years of hands-on experience training and fostering service dogs through Kent State University’s service dog program. During that time, I worked with dogs of various breeds, ages, temperaments, and training levels, helping them develop obedience skills, socialization, and confidence in a variety of environments. In addition to my service dog experience, I have owned and cared for my own Golden Retriever since 2022. Through both fostering and pet ownership, I have gained experience with puppy care, basic obedience training, leash manners, medication administration, enrichment activities, and caring for senior dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care that helps pets feel comfortable and secure while giving owners peace of mind. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, a drop-in visit, extra patience, or lots of affection, I will treat them as if they were my own. Caring for animals is something I’ve been passionate about for years. Between training and fostering service dogs for five years and caring for my own Golden Retriever, pet care has become a natural part of my daily life. I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention fit easily into my routine. I make it a priority to provide dependable care and keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedules as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. During walks and drop-in visits, I ensure pets have fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship tailored to their individual needs and energy levels. With my background training and fostering service dogs, I am comfortable reinforcing basic commands, working with puppies, and caring for senior dogs. I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and respect for both your pet and your home. I will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
