Cat Sitting Cone

“Maria was absolutely fantastic! She took care of our two kitties (one diabetic and needing insulin twice a day and the other chronically terrified of strangers). She was in touch regarding clarification on the medicine - which was very much appreciated - and gave us updates throughout her visits including that our little scared cat actually accepted pets from her on the last day (we were shocked and thrilled!). We look forward to using Maria's services again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of all of my pets since a very young age. I love every animal I see as if they are my own! Animals bring me so much joy and I wish for them to have the same happiness. I try to pay attention to body language to know what they are telling me especially when we do not know each other yet. I’ve worked as a dog nutritionist at a place called Must Love Dogs (which I certainly do!) I always want to learn more, do more, and constantly be better for the animals in the world even if I’m only able to impact a few. I have experience with dogs who need a lot of support physically (wheelchairs, lift up harnesses, bathroom assistance) as my own German Shepherd needed all of these things later in life. I may have lost count of how many times I was peed on or had to clean the floors, but I wouldn’t change any of it for the world. I hope to honor him everyday and share my love with other fur babies as much as I can. My love for animals is endless. My goal is to be able to fill my days with all sorts of animals I can love on and bring joy to. I am available any day or time for drop in visits, playtime, feedings, and walks! I currently have a dog and a cat. I take my dog for walks and try to provide plenty of play time, snuggles, and other forms of enrichment for him every day. My kitty is still young and loves playtime, being brushed, and always wants snuggles in the morning which I am always happy to provide! My pets are my babies and every animal I see automatically becomes a baby. I had a special needs German shepherd who was in a wheelchair and needed a ton of special care and attention. I’m not afraid to do the dirty work that pets need to thrive and be happy whether that’s my own pets or my clients. I’d treat them as my own.

About: I have consistently sat for a variety of pets over the past ten years for over ten families. I have the ability to sit for multiple dogs/cats at once while providing plenty of TLC. My job is to provide plenty of communication, build trust, and to ensure you that your pets are safe and happy in my presence. I also love sending photo updates! I work for the University of Michigan and have the ability to work from home with your pets if desired. I have experience with administering medication for your pets if needed, and can take care of any other needs for your home (including plants, etc.). I currently work for University of Michigan and have the ability to work from home if you would like me to provide extra TLC for your pet! I am a reliable 32-year-old single girl who loves spending her free time caring for animals. I am very attentive and patient to any pet in my presence and love making them feel loved and happy. I have two kitties of my own - Banjo and Daisy! I love to snuggle with them and always make sure their litter boxes are cleaned and they are well fed and cared for. This goes for every other pet I watch as well! I tend to other’s pets as I would my own because that’s the kind of person I would want watching over my pets.

“Emma took excellent care of our cat! She was punctual, communicative and easy to work with. Our cat seemed happy and well taken care of when we returned!”

About: I have a love for all animals, no matter their size! I currently have a Black Lab and a Rottweiler of my own, so I’m experienced with larger breeds and understand the care, attention, and exercise they need. I also have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable following specific instructions, administering basic medications, and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and secure. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is loved and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, which allows me to be available for morning visits before work, evening visits after work, and flexible availability on weekends. I’m committed to being reliable and making sure each pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. In my client’s home, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know I could never replace you, but I can be the next best thing! Whether that means breakfast served exactly on time, long walks, playtime, litter box duty, or giving endless belly rubs and head scratches, I’m happy to do it all. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, because I know being away from your furry family member can be hard!

About: I've been around dogs, cats, and some level of farm animals for most of my life, pet sitting as a service is new for me, although I have extensive practice in animal care. Simply put, I've taken care of animals long enough to know that mane and tail is an amazing conditioner and shampoo combo. I am currently seeking employment and searching for work with services such as rover, my schedule fluctuates however I would consider myself on call, Monday to Sunday any time unless otherwise specified, im here for you and your pets. Our home is a finely tuned balance of two cats and two huskies, I have worked extensively to care for and train both animals to live harmoniously together. My goal is to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and preferably sleepy by the time your best friends are back in your arms, for the huskies we often walk them anywhere from 3 to 5 miles, and upwards of 10 miles on some days on safe, pre walked and inspected routes to ensure your pets saftey

“TJ was very nice and easy to work with. They were very accommodating when I had to modify drop off/pickup times. I got photo updates of my cat and she was in good spirits when I picked her up.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for almost my entire life this including dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals that need extra patience or attention. I also have experience with raw feeding, as my family and I do the same for our dogs and cats at home. I addition to both dogs and cats, I have hands on experience caring for different exotic pets such as snakes, tarantulas, frogs and other invertebrates, along with small animals like rats and guinea pigs as well. My dad and I breed snakes and rats, so I’m very familiar with feeding routines, habitat care, and handling animals that require specific environments and attention. Because of this background, I’m confident managing different temperaments, routines, and care needs. I always prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication so you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. Whether your pet is covered in scales or furr, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for! I’m currently a student at Wayne State and also work for a catering company, which allows me to maintain a pretty flexible schedule for pet care. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets get plenty of time, attention, and care while you’re away. I know every pet has their own routine, so I’m always willing to work around what makes them most comfortable! I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow any instructions and routines provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs. I also understand that every pet has different boundaries, so I’ll give them as much attention or space as they need.

“I was so nervous about leaving my senior cat in the hands of someone else as she is very picky. And usually has choice words for strangers. Chelsea instantly eased my anxieties. She did a meet n greet which I thought was so kind. My cat instantly liked her (which is not usual for her!) Not only did Chelsea do the drop-in perfectly but she even was patient enough for my other skiddish cat to come out of hiding. And she sent plenty of pictures that gave me even more relief on my vacation. She even brought our packages in from the porch! I appreciate her and would definitely book her services again! 10/10 recommend!”

About: I walk 10,000 steps a day and would love to talk your dog along for a long walk. I've taken care of pets my whole life and love to volunteer in local shelters. I can teach your dog a few tricks, get all their zoomies out with a nice run, and give them all the frisbee, ball, tug of war, hide and seek, etc. playtime that they might want. I can also provide extra care to anxious, reactive, older, post surgery, and/or disabled pets. I have some dog training experience and can help your dog be more comfortable with other dogs, other people, address triggers, reduce pulling on the leash, etc. During our walks, your pets will play, relax, and make new doggie friends all the time with careful introductions and lots of happy moments. Looking to build long term working relationships with my clients and new pet friends. You can always reach me when I'm pet sitting if you ever have a question, I am always just a phone call or a text away. My schedule is very flexible and I like to be outside as much as possible when it comes to spending time with pets. I am avaliable on weekends, weekdays, and can be open to last minute changes. I always make sure the pets have food and a fresh bowl of water. After that I like to build some trust with sniffs and treats, see if they know any tricks. Once the pet is comfortable it's time for a walk and/or playtime to get all the pent up energy out. I think playtime is the most happy time for pets so I always to engage in a few different kinds of games until I find one that they love. This way the pets are happy and comfortable and can happily nap for the rest of the day after we are done.
