Cat Sitting Chester

“Taylor was new to our two cats. Even though they were shy, she stayed to help them meet a new person. Taylor was very thoughtful to check the house for safety as well. I would definitely book Taylor again!”

About: My family owns and operates a Labrador breeding business and kennel, located in a small slice of heaven in the hill towns. I have been living, breathing, and loving dogs for my entire life and find immense joy simply being around them! I have several years of experience at a boarding facility where I was able to expand my knowledge on any different breed, size, age, temperament and disabilities! I am comfortable with all dogs at any life stages, ranging from a few hours old to sweet elderlies. I am also able to react quickly to any situation and have a solid history of preventing and intervening real fights safely between several dogs. I am available at you and your pets desire! I am able to stay in home and/or overnight, or simply check in! My car is my main way of travel, and has safely transported many pups to their playdates! Care in my clients home includes purely love and sticking to the routine that your pet knows the best! My client will also receive the utmost amount of reassurance and open communication because I understand on a personal level how difficult it is to leave your baby in someone else's hands.

“Trista has been great with all our pets and very communicative. We are so appreciative of how reliable she is, even on such short notice! Thank you again 😊”

About: My dad taught me at a young age how to care for, and respect all animals. I have turned this into a life long love for all animals, both domestic and wild. I am a vet assistant, and currently studying to be a certified vet tech. For the last two years I have worked at the local animal shelter, and for the last year, at a dog daycare as well. I have volunteered at Dakin for the best part of the last 15 years. This has included transportation of animals, dog walking, animal socialization, and the kitten ICU. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time for your furry family members. I am available during the week, on weekends, and holidays. Whether your dog likes the dog park, or playing in the backyard, we can play using their favorite toys. If they are more of a couch potato, I can accommodate them as well. If you have kitties that need company, we can play in the house, or go out for a stroller ride. I have a fenced in backyard for the dogs to play in. In the summer, a pool and water sprinkler will be available. I am a vet assistant, so I have first aid training for both dogs and cats. My house is air conditioned, perfect for relaxing on a summer day.

“Wonderful visit and walk. My pet seemed very happy and he was very accommodating to book last minute. My pet instantly liked him, like he has a way with pets.”

“Ace was wonderful with our kitty. Attentive, caring, and communicated a lot along the way. Didn’t shy away from having to give him insulin. I would absolutely use them again for cat sitting!”

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.

“This is the second time we had Melanie take care of our four cats - she gets a 16 (out of 16) paws up from the 4 cats! We came home to very clean food bowls and litter boxes. Food was also left organized! She had great communication. She even accommodated a special diet and feeding cats in two locations. Will use again! Top ratings for Melanie!”

About: The family for my last petsit said this: "[Our dog] had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, she was very happy when we got home, that means she didn't feel upset at all. Yay!!! Thank you again!! " I've cared for households with multiple pets, including cats, dogs, multiple cats, multiple dogs, and a combination of the above. I've often had people reach back out to me to sit for them again. I love to follow your instructions as closely as possible to help out your animals with the stress of owner absence. I find it important to take time to play with and sit with animals. I'm familiar with giving pets medication, whether through pill pockets, food, or other methods. If your kitties are particular about litter cleaning, I am happy to provide that more frequently as well. I work with energy and empathy in my other jobs, so I am able to bring a calm presence for animals and pay attention to their energy when caring for them. I value consent-based interaction, so I allow animals to warm up to me before petting them. I have flexible work, so I can arrange to stay with your pets or drop in at your convenience. One of my jobs works well with being at home, so I can stay put. I tend to lock doors, being familiar with city living. Integrity and trust are paramount to me, so you can trust that I will treat your home well and honor any areas you don't want me to be in. I know it's a lot to trust a stranger in your home while you are away -- I am happy to provide references and other information to make you feel safe. You know your pet best, so I pay attention to how you make sure your pets stay inside to keep it that way. I am always happy to text updates and pictures :)

“Friendly, careful and polite! Thank you for bonding with Rudi!”

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.

“This is the second time that I used Amad to care for my cats, he has been great, will stay and play with them, easy to reach and will quickly respond . Overall we highly recommended .”

About: I’m a graduate student with a bachelors of science in Biology and a concentration in pre-vet, working towards a career in veterinary medicine with years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve worked in a clinical hospital and an animal shelter with both cats and dogs, gaining experience with a wide range of temperaments, ages, and needs. I’ve also taken multiple animal-focused college courses that strengthen my understanding of proper care, behavior, and health. In addition, I’ve provided pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors for several years. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently working part-time, but I have as much time as I can give for your fur baby! I coach softball so I’m away part of July but other than that my schedule is pretty open. I prioritize pet safety by following routines closely, maintaining clean spaces, and respecting your home. I ensure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times.

About: As a child, I owned almost every pet imaginable - from house cats to Rottweilers to lizards to ferrets! Bless my poor mother's heart - we practically had a small zoo at our house! As an adult I owned a cat for 5 years and also "dog /cat sat" for friends and families many times. I'm an all-around animal lover who is comfortable with many different types of pet care. I'm a stay-at-home mom with a four year old. Please be advised that if I pet-sit overnight at your home, my daughter will most likely be accompanying me for at least part of the job assignment. If you aren’t comfortable having well-behaved, well-supervised children at your home, then unfortunately I’m not a good fit your you. I have plenty of flexibility on both weekdays and weekends to provide care for your pets. I live in a pet-friendly house with a fenced-in back yard. The neighborhood is quiet and safe for walks. I also have access to a nearby park.

About: I grew up taking care of my dogs. The first thing I did when I woke up was feed and play fetch with my German Shepherd. I absolutely love exercise, especially with a dog by my side:) I’m currently working as a high school health teacher. I have afternoons and weekends off each week. I would love to have something to do in my free time:) I will not be taking dogs in my own home but I am a quick learner and could easily use materials in your home to take care of your animals.

“Clara was wonderful! If you’re looking for someone who is responsible and great with animals, then Clara is the right choice. We were away all day so Clara came by to walk and hang out with our very energetic yellow Labrador named Lulu. She did a great job and Lulu was nice and calm when we got back home! Thank you Clara!”

About: I have a passion for providing excellent care while fostering harmonious relationships between humans and their furry companions. With that I bring forth a blend of comprehensive education and hands-on experience in the realm of animal care. I have a lifetime of experience raising and caring for dogs and cats, and I am a certified professional dog trainer as well as trained in pet first aid and CPR. I am here offering my experience and expertise to help you achieve your pet care needs and training goals with confidence. My daily routine revolves around pet care and training. I can be available for visits pretty much any time any day of the week all year long. I believe our pets are more comfortable in their own homes. My visits will be scheduled as closely to the timing needs of your pet as possible to assure the consistency you already provide. I am happy to spend time indoors providing cats some friendly play time, or outside walking or playing ball with the dogs. If you have some basic obedience training needs, I am willing to make special accommodations to meet with you and your dog to help meet those needs as well.

About: I've had a a dog in my life on and off since I was born. I've had 4 dalmations while living with my family. One at a time and then a golden retriever and then adopted a pit/boxer mix a few years ago and then my mom 'stole' him. :-) I'm a huge fun of dogs and adore large breeds like pits, rotties, boxers, etc...and I'll still love to be with your little one if you have that too. I've sat for my friends female pittie a couple times and it's gone very very well. Apparently she doesn't like men too well however we got along terrifically. I miss playing and hanging out with my dog, "bueller" who my mom now gets to spend time with so that's why I'm here on this site. To get my 'doggie fix'. ;-) I feel I'm very aware of my surroundings while with my dog and also aware of the body language of the dog I'm with as they usually give a heads up if they are worried, anxious, fearful, etc... before something might happen. I have a flexible schedule and love to spend time with your furry loved ones. I'm cool with a super energetic pet or one that is more 'chill' I am presently unable to host/board your pets in my home, however I'm able to take care of them in your home or apartment if requested.
