Cat Sitting Cookstown

“Daniela was amazing and did a great job. She gave us updates with pictures and really took away our stress of being away from our pets. She is great and I appreciate her time and attention.”

About: I currently have a 4 year old beagle named Louie that I adore! Growing up I’ve had big dogs (Rhodesian ridge backs, pit bull mixes) and I’ve had little dogs (min pin, miniature poodle, and beagles) so no matter the size or age I am confident that I could handle them. I have a long hair cat and a beagle so I am used to scooping cat litter, picking up dog poop, and I’m not afraid of the occasional puke haha. I don’t mind grooming any size animal if necessary While pet sitting in the past I follow their feeding regime and would walk animals every couple hours. Of course give extra loves to pets while owners are away so they feel happy. Also lots of playing with them and their toys!

“Ashley was amazing!”

“This was our first time using Rover and we hit the jackpot thanks to Patty! She took care of our cat for 14 days (the longest we have ever been away). Patty was the super. Great communication after each visit and best of all, our neurotic cat wasn’t traumatized and had no negative behaviors upon our return. A minor miracle. We will definitely reach out to Patty the next time we need assistance. Thanks for your help!”

About: I’ve rescued 3 dogs and have owned and care for multiple cats, routinely care for friends and family pets and have an extremely flexible schedule for all of your needs! I am available all day during almost every day, feel free to ask and I can gladly make the time to visit your pets during a time that works best for them!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years, both in my own home and in clients’ homes. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also experienced with cats and understand that every pet has their own unique routine and comfort level. I believe pets deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone stick to their normal routine, I’m happy to provide personalized care that fits their needs. I’m reliable, responsible, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel like they’re with family. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days for pet care. Throughout the school year, I work as an elementary school counselor, so I’m typically available after school on weekdays, as well as evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I’m very easy to communicate with and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. Whether you need regular care or last-minute help, I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of affection. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment.

“Amber's service was beyond all expectations. She was on time, and spent quality time interacting and playing with my pups. Highly recommended, I will be booking again !!!! Thanks Amber !!!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets since 2014. I currently have five dogs and three cats that take care of each day. They are my babies. I am a teacher on my summer break so my schedule is quite open apart from taking care of my own 5 pups and 3 cats. I offer drop in visits where I can spend time playing with your pup or cat, I can feed them, give them fresh water, and I also offer walking services.

About: I have had a wide range of experience caring for a variety of pets ever since I was a young child. I have taken care of dogs and cats for over a decade. Your pet will have all the attention and care they need during their time with me or in my home. I work Monday to Friday with weekends off. I am able to care for them before and right after work, with family home during the day as well. I care for pets by feeding them their proper diet, playing with them/making them feel welcome, making sure their bathroom needs are met, and updating the owners.

“Christa is amazing! We needed her last minute to let our dogs out when we weren’t home and she was able to stop by that night to meet us and them and then was there promptly the next day to care for them. She sent great pictures and her communication was excellent. We will definitely use her again!”

About: In my 30 years of experience I have welped puppies and kittens, administered medications (including injections,) managed elderly care, special needs, special diets, bathing, behavior, and so much more. :) I use my fine tuned empathy and sharp observation skills to monitor mood, changes, and head them off at the pass. The more you learn how to communicate with an animal on their terms, the easier it is to meet their needs and yours. Caring for animals and animal behavior are one of the most captivating and fulfilling things that enrich my life. Animals are a big part of my daily routine, and I build my day around caring for pets . I enjoy a laid-back, slower-paced lifestyle with plenty of time for walks, outdoor time, and providing calm, attentive companionship. I have a yard where pets can safely enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time, and I love creating a comfortable environment where they feel relaxed, secure, and loved while their families are away. Our home is 2,000 sq ft with two floors, outfitted with crates and gates making it easy to keep dogs separated if necessary. We have a newly installed, fully secured fence around an ample backyard for fetches, sniffles, and safe play. Our neighborhood is calm, quiet, and filed with wildlife making walks calm yet engaging.

“Lauren provided amazing service! She was attentive, reliable, and treated my sister's cat with so much care. I felt completely at ease knowing she were in her hands. I will definitely be booking her again.”

About: Since as long as I can remember I have owned and been around dogs. I even taught my own dogs how to swim! I currently work at a pet resort where I interact with all different breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. I value showing dogs love and comfort. I’d love to do the same for your pets! Pet care can fit into my schedule around my college classes that leave me with hours worth of breaks and weekend availability. Currently my work schedule is very slow so I’m not getting crazy amount of hours. I’d love to use my free time for a good cause! I have a fenced in play area that is perfect for running or just strolling around. My doggies love to even take naps under the trees when it’s warmer outside. Additionally for in client home I am able to crate any pets if needed. I can play with them/walk them etc. I am able to feed dogs, give medicine, whatever is needed I can do!

About: I have cared for dogs at every stage of life since I was a child. I am particularly adept at managing litters, having successfully trained multiple puppies at once to encourage good behavior and social confidence. My professional background in restorative practices makes me an exceptionally observant sitter, perfect for pets with anxiety or those needing strict medical recovery protocols. From the specialized needs of a senior to the round-the-clock energy of a new litter, I provide reliable, high-quality care that honors your pet's unique personality. I have three dogs and two cats of my own. I am working a flexible part time job so I have plenty of free time to spend with animals and take care of their needs. I have a fenced in yard and a park nearby that had a fenced in dog area and lots of walking trails. I personally home cook my dogs food so if there are special diet restrictions I have experience. I love spending time bonding with my animals and would put that time into someone else’s pets to make them feel loved and safe whether that’s cuddling, wrestling, playing ball or dog walking.

About: I have taken care of my friends pets for a few years now, either going over to their house to check on them, let them out and play with them or even taking them on walks. I currently have 3 dogs at home, and I have been taking care of them since they were puppies as well as the dogs I have had previously as well. I know how to handle small dogs and medium/large dogs, whether it comes to walks or just checking in to play with them, or let them out for the bathroom. I am currently working a part-time job, so I have all the time during the day to walk dogs and care for them. I am free anytime after 9 am. I currently have three dogs of my own at home. I play with them a lot inside the house when it gets too hot, and every few hours I let them out for the bathroom and play and tire them out, when outside, depending on how hot it is. I walk around outside with them to get some walking in up and down our driveway.

About: What truly sets me apart is my professional background. As a special education teacher with seven years of experience in the classroom, patience, structure, and the ability to adapt to individual needs are woven into everything I do. I bring that exact same mindset to pet care. I understand that every animal learns and communicates differently, and I excel at reading body language and adjusting my approach to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and comfortable. ​Alongside having pets my entire life, I have spent the last 8 years providing dedicated pet care for family members and neighbors. Because of my teaching background, I am highly reliable when it comes to maintaining strict daily routines. This makes me particularly well-equipped to handle the unique needs of different life stages: ​Senior Care: I am incredibly patient and comfortable maintaining the slow, gentle pacing and strict medication or dietary schedules that senior pets often require to thrive in their golden years. ​Puppy Care & Training: I thrive on consistency and positive reinforcement. I am highly capable of maintaining the firm but gentle boundaries, frequent potty breaks, and structured play that young pets need while they are still learning their manners. ​Whether your pet needs quiet, gentle companionship or structured, engaging play, I have the experience, reliability, and heart to provide care that is perfectly tailored to them. I believe in complete transparency regarding my schedule so you know exactly when your pet is receiving my undivided attention: Summer Hours (Now – August): I am currently working a shorter schedule and am fully available for walks, drop-ins, and playtime every day after 1:30 PM. Fall Hours (Starting in September): I will be working my regular full-time schedule until 4:00 PM. However, my evenings will be completely open and dedicated to after-work walks, dinner routines, and evening companionship! I look forward to meeting your best friend and providing them with the highest level of care! I know firsthand that leaving your furry family members can be stressful. My goal is to provide a safe, engaging, and loving environment so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away. I treat every animal in my care with the exact same affection and attentiveness I give my own. My Experience I have been surrounded by pets my entire life, which has given me a deep, intuitive understanding of the daily care, patience, and affection animals require. For the past 8 years, I have been the trusted, go-to pet sitter for my neighbors and extended family. This hands-on experience has taught me how to adapt to different temperaments, respect established household rules, and quickly recognize when a pet might be feeling anxious. As a special education teacher, patience, compassion, and structure are at the core of who I am—and I bring those same qualities into how I care for your pets.

“I’ve used Sara twice now for drop in feedings for my two cats while away. Once for a long weekend and another time for a full week. She’s excellent and I’d highly recommend her. Everything went so well - I couldn’t have asked for more. My two shy cats loved her too which made me so happy. Thanks again Sara!”

About: Good Morning! I am Janiya and I’m excited to introduce myself! As an animal science graduate student, my journey with dogs began at a young age. I have been caring for my own dogs since I was just 10 years old, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. My academic background in animal science has equipped me with a solid foundation in animal care, health, and behavior. Through my coursework, I have gained insights into various aspects of veterinary medicine, nutrition, and training techniques. This knowledge allows me to provide not only basic care but also specialized attention tailored to each dog's unique requirements. In addition to my studies, I actively engage in clinical hours at a local veterinary clinic under the guidance of a certified veterinarian and vet tech. This hands on experience is invaluable. It has allowed me to observe and participate in real-world scenarios involving pet health care. From administering medications to understanding common health issues, this practical exposure enhances my ability to recognize signs of distress or illness in dogs while I am sitting or walking them. I’m currently working during the week so I’m available currently on the weekends anytime and will update my hours if need be due to obtaining a set schedule for clinical hours. I believe establishing a consistent daily routine is crucial for both dogs. This includes regular feeding times, exercise, and bathroom breaks. For my husky, who is energetic and playful, I ensure she gets at least an hour of vigorous exercise each day. This includes walks, runs, or playtime in the yard. My cockapoo also enjoys playtime but requires slightly less intense activity due to his smaller size and older age. I ensure that my home environment is safe for both dogs by removing hazardous items such as toxic plants or small objects they could swallow inside and outside. Additionally, I use baby gates if necessary to restrict access to certain areas of the house where they might get into trouble. I have learned by following these steps consistently in caring for my husky and cockapoo at home, and applying similar principles when caring for clients' pets, I’ll create a nurturing environment that supports their health and happiness.

“Abby is wonderful. My two dogs took to her instantly. They are a handful sometimes but she managed them well. I would highly recommend her. I know I will use her if we have to go away again.”
