Cat Sitting Cottage Corners

“Ivana exceeded my expectations. She took great care of my two cats for three weeks during the 2022/2023 winter break. Everyday she reported on the cats' activities and sent me lots of pictures that kept me at ease. I would gladly have her again on the next occasion that my cats need to be taken care of.”

About: Being a previous doggie owner who I raised from puppyhood, I have experience taking care of dogs at all stages of life, and of all breeds and sizes. I also have experience taking care of livestock, I owned a horse, and have lived on a goat and chicken farm. I connect very much with animals of all kinds and am happy to give them love, nourishment, exercise and comfort. I am unable to have a doggie or kittie of my own right now so having the honor of caring for your furry family member gives my life meaning and enrichment <3 I am going to school currently online through a college out of San Fransisco. The rest of the time I have free to spend with your animal and take care of your home! I like to wake up early and go for a walk and have plenty of time between study sessions to go on walks and care for your pet. I will give regular walks, feed at the same time each day and offer a lot of cuddles and support. I know sometimes animals can feel anxious when their person is away..being a previous dog owner I understand that and I will treat your pet with the upmost consideration for their feelings and do everything to help them relax while their people. :)

About: A sitter of dog and cats for years. I love all things veterinary science, & have been lucky to work with fun fur babies and their supports. With a background in behavioral science, wellness, and research, I’m highly observant of body language, energy shifts, and emotional cues. That means I notice the little things — appetite changes, pacing, anxiety, excitement — and respond with care and intention. 🐕 What dogs love about staying with me: • Consistent walks & playtimes • Gentle affection and positive reinforcement • A peaceful environment (great for sensitive or senior dogs) • Clear boundaries + lots of love 📸 What owners love: • Daily photo & video updates • Thoughtful check-ins (you’ll always know how your dog is doing) • Respect for your dog’s existing routine Whether your dog is playful, shy, cuddly, or independent — I meet them where they are 💛 I am fully remote and have much time for playtime, feed time and outdoors times. I live next to large dog parks and large sidewalks 🐶🐱🐶 My place is a fine and very friendly pet neighborhood. Gated, clean, dog park next door, pet friendly neighbors and sunshine ☀️ & support culture

About: I have had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember, including behavior and training. I believe that every dog is a good dog. I began my career in animal care at an exotic pet shop in my teens. Between retail gigs, I had the privilege of working at a rescue shelter and a zoo, where my passions for animal conservation and welfare continued to grow. After that I spent some time in the veterinary field, where I gained valuable experience as a veterinary assistant. It was working in the veterinary field where I really got to pursue my passion for working gently with anxious and "aggressive" animals. Due to some physical limitations, I am not able to work full-time anymore, so I am now taking time to focus on what I really love to do, which is making pet and owner's lives easier. In my free time, I love to crochet, play video and borad games, and go on hikes with my partner. I am currently available full time to walk, sit, or drop-in on your pet! I can make most days and times work. Let me know what you need. I am not able to host for pet-sitting currently, per my lease at my current living arrangement, but I am available to stay in the pet owner's home if requested.

About: We all love our fur friends, but life gets in the way sometimes. That’s why I’m here! My family once had 5 dogs and 1 cat all at once, and I loved every second of it. I love to play, love to walk, and love to just hang out with pets all day long! Let me help your family out by doing the same with your pets! I am stupidly free right now - friendly as well! Just let me know, I am honestly really flexible. I just don’t have the space to sit, but I dan walk your pets and sit them at your home! I current can’t sit at my home, but at your home, I will follow every safety rule AND SOME because this is someone’s fur baby.

Whether it’s sticking to special diets, administering medication, or keeping routines consistent, I go above and beyond to make dogs feel at home and owners feel at ease. Dogs are part of my everyday life — my schedule naturally revolves around walks, feeding times, play sessions, and quiet rest breaks. I make sure every pup gets a balance of exercise, affection, and downtime, so they stay happy, healthy, and relaxed while in my care. In my home, dogs enjoy a safe, clean, and cozy environment with supervised play, comfy resting areas, and plenty of love. I maintain their usual routines, offer outdoor breaks and walks, and give each dog personalized care based on their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their household rules closely and treat every space and pet as if they were my own.

About: Work From Home Sitter: I started caring for pets at 19 and have loved it ever since. I’ve lived with dogs and cats for years and have hands on experience from volunteering with 67 cats and 60 dogs at a rescue farm in Antalya, Turkey. I also pet sat while traveling the world, gaining experience with many breeds and personalities. I grew up in a farm with almost all the animals herding sheeps and cows . Friends trust me with their pets when they’re away, and I bring calm, patience, and genuine care to every animal I meet. I’ve used several platforms around the world for pet sitting, and you can find additional reviews about me on Workaway and Facebook. I also have a strong background in childcare I worked as a full-time au pair(childcare), caring for children safely and responsibly for four years across different families, parents trusted me with their children. I take care of pets like they're children they're both so speacial. I provide doggy daycare and have extensive experience working with puppies and dogs with separation anxiety. Since I work from home, I can help with training, and if a dog cannot be left alone, I make sure they are always supervised. A portion of my petsitting income supports the education of village girls in the mountainous regions of Eastern Turkey, including six girls I’ve been supporting over the years some now continuing their studies in high school. Work From Home Sitter living near a dog park and walking trail: I work online from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I can easily stay overnight, or host the pets in my home visit during the day for walks and feed. My routine makes it easy for me to give pets consistent attention, walks, playtime, and comfort throughout the day. To provide the best care, I accept a maximum of two dogs at a time and always introduce them before accepting a second dog to make sure they get along. If they don’t, I only accept one dog at a time. It’s important to me that every dog has the best stay possible like a little vacation while their owner is away. During my lunch break, I take the dog to the dog park or to Stevens Creek Trail near me. After I finish work, usually around 3:30 pm, we go out again. I can also work from your home if your pet needs extra company. Lastly, I live with my husband works from home a couple days a week and grew up with cats, dogs, and hamsters, so pets usually feel comfortable around him. I live in a clean, quiet townhouse with a small patio, and I create a calm environment for any pet I host. Since I work from home, I’m always nearby to check on them, give attention, and take them out for quick potty breaks throughout the day. I live close to the dog park and Stevens Creek trail if your dog is high energy and need play time. To provide the best care, I accept a maximum of two dogs at a time and always introduce them before accepting a second dog to make sure they get along. If they don’t, I only accept one dog at a time. It’s important to me that every dog has the best stay possible like a little vacation while their owner is away. I always inform the pet parents if they are okay with the second dog and if they are okay to have intruduction. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and keep routines consistent. I pay close attention to safety, doors and gates, feeding schedules, and your pet’s comfort. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same care I would give my own.
