“Cailyn took great care of my baby Guinea pigs. She shared photos and I noticed after returning home she went above and beyond what I had asked of her!! Thank you Caylin for caring for two little guys while I was away 💙”

About: I’ve spent years caring for cats of all ages and personalities, both in my own home and while working at the humane society. While there, I regularly helped with feeding, socializing, cleaning, giving medications, and working with cats who were shy, scared, or in need of extra attention. I’ve also cared for kittens, adult cats, and seniors with special needs. I have two senior cats of my own, so I’m especially familiar with the patience and gentleness they require. Whether your cat needs playtime, medication, a lap to sit on, or just someone to keep an eye on things, I’m here to help them feel safe and cared for. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, which makes it easy for me to work around your cat’s routine. I’m available during the week and on weekends for check-ins, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I know how important it is for cats to feel secure in their own space, so I’ll do my best to follow their usual routine and keep things calm and consistent while you’re away. I’m a lifelong cat lover with experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments. I spent time volunteering at the humane society where I helped care for cats with a wide range of needs. I gave medications, spent time with shy or nervous cats, and made sure each one felt safe and loved. I also have two senior cats of my own, so I understand how important patience, gentleness, and consistency are. Whether your cat is energetic and playful or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll treat them like one of my own.

About: I've cared for pets my whole life and understand that every animal has their own unique personality. I'm experienced with shy, sassy, and energetic pets alike, and I’m also comfortable administering medications both orally and by injection. I just graduated high school this summer, so I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m not working a part-time job at the moment and am available most weekdays and weekends for pet care and house sitting. Since I’m not tied to any regular commitments, I can easily adjust my day around your pet’s routine and needs—whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, or medication. Unless something is already on my calendar, I’m free and ready to help! I can easily adjust to your home and needs when caring for your pets. I'm familiar with crating dogs and keeping cats in specific rooms as well!
“I have three elderly dogs, two of which did not have not had a good past. They are fearful of people for good reason. They instantly trusted Mary. I have never before been able to go away without worrying the entire trip. She has truly enhanced our lives, already booked her a second time.”
“Emily was great, very caring towards our dogs, sent pictures and gave updates every visit. She also kept on the Dog TV channel for them so they had white noise. It was nice to go away for the weekend and not have the stress of a kennel on our senior dogs knowing they were in good hands!”

“Theresa was terrific with our cat. We searched on Rover for someone to watch our cat while people toured our house that we were trying to sell. Theresa reached out promptly and was flexible with the relatively short notice we provided her. She was responsive to texts and took great care of our cat while he stayed there. I would definitely recommend booking her if you can because she was great to work with. We really appreciate you Theresa!”
About: I have been an animal lover and had dogs my whole life. My first job was working at a boarding kennel at 14 years old. I have worked with many different breeds. I am experienced with boarding pets in my home, pet bathing experience/groomer in training, nail trimming, ability to give oral medications, insulin injections (I have had two diabetic dogs), walking dogs of any breed or size. At this time I am very flexible. My life revolves around animals. I can commit to your schedule to suit you and your pets needs.

Patient, and quiet loving home with pet's needs as my top priority. Can take them for car rides or snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie. I can pick your pet up and drop them off if needed.
