Cat Sitting in Cottage Lake

“Brooke was absolutely fantastic! 🤩 We had to find a sitter last-minute, but we needed someone who would be understanding and attentive as a couple of our pets are special needs and/or require daily medication and injections: Brooke checked all the boxes and our pets all loved her immediately. 😻 She not only followed all instructions to a T, but she provided thorough check-in reports and a host of photos, plus she went above and beyond by cleaning around the house before we got home, scooping our litter boxes, and gifting our cat with a big comfy bed (which he has been loving)! Highly recommend, especially if your pets have anxiety or other health conditions that require special care!”

“Rachel has been amazing with Millie. She goes above and beyond. She is a great communicator and takes care of Millie as if she was her own dog. It gives me so much peace to be at work knowing my dog is getting loved on so well by Rachel.”

“Andi was conscientious and took good care of our senior cats. They are both on medication. She didn’t have any problems administering it. Spent time getting both cats to warm up to her.”

“Renee was absolutely great! We chose her based on her recommendations, and she lived up to them. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, which means so much to us since they're our family. She was friendly, personable, and so sweet with our girls. Renee arrived right on time, sent plenty of photos, and provided a thoughtful, detailed report after each visit. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”

“Kathleen did a phenomenal job taking care of our cat. She performed everything we asked, and went above and beyond to vacuum our floor without being asked to. I would be very comfortable to have Kathleen take care of our cat again.”

“Candra is very sweet and did a great job for us! We look forward to having her take care of Bailey again. She was on time and is very communicative. Thanks Candra!”

“We are so happy with Lorie's help! When we were gone our plans had changed the last minute and we we were in a pinch finding someone. Lorie has agreed to help us right away, and she did a wonderful job taking care of our pets. She had to learn what to do over the phone and did exactly what we had asked her. We have a turtle who needs to be fed in a separate water tank, and he tends to bite when someone sticks their hands in his water. However, that didn't seem to scare Lorie, and she took on the job very bravely. We were very pleased to return to a clean house and happy pets. We highly recommend Lorie to anyone who is looking for a trusted and caring pet sitter.”

“I had a really great experience with Juniper. Juniper took wonderful care of my cats, sent regular updates and photos, and made me feel very comfortable while I was away. My cats looked happy and well cared for when I got back home. Juniper even left a little drawing of one of my cats, which was such a sweet and thoughtful surprise. I really appreciated the extra care and kindness. I would absolutely book with Juniper again!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Saraswati, and the fantastic care she gave my kitties on this block of days. Not only did she attend to their basic care needs, but she was astute and diligent enough to notice that a recent food change was not agreeing with one of my kitties, who is a senior with a few well managed health issues. She called me not foe guidance, but for information so that we could come to a decision whether to proceed for their care. Her suggestion of withdrawal of the offending food worked, and the stay proceeded without incident, and all was well. INITIATIVE, CARING, DILIGENCE…just what you want in a pet sitter. She is simply THE BEST”

About: I had a corgi until I was 12 years old who I fed, walked, and played with for much of my childhood. I also have frequently walked my neighbors’ dogs and gone over to feed/watch them when they aren’t at home, including when my neighbor’s golden retriever was still a puppy, although I am also capable of handling big dogs too. I have always loved animals and, especially as an introvert, getting to hang out with them all summer is something I am more than happy to do! I am currently back home for the summer until around mid August, and this is the only form of work I’ll be doing while I’m here. Any activity I want to do is something that can be done at more or less any time, meaning my schedule will be very flexible and able to cater to what you need. I make sure to give the animal as much space as needed before jumping straight in. Some pets are more reserved and it can be tough for them to get used to a new person in their space, so I like to make sure I meet them where they’re at. I ask the owner any questions I have both in advance and also while they’re gone if something comes up. I like to be prepared and know where everything is and how to deal with any situation that might occur, so open communication is something I really strive for.

“Gypsie and Robby were great! My cat needed checked on once a day while I was on vacation. They were always on time, spent quality time with my kitty and sent multiple pictures!”

“We've had Mike watch our cat Fritado several times now - he's reliable, good with the cat, and takes time to play with him when he drops in. Highly recommend him!”

“Amy is absolutely wonderful with my golden retriever puppy Bowie. She is clearly experienced and I have piece of mind knowing my pup is in good hands.”

About: I love other people's pets as much as I love my own. It is such a joy to learn each animal's personality and to see them happy in their environment. I currently have 3 cats, two are just over 2 years old and the third is my lovely senior boy at 16 years old. Medication management is important for all pets, regardless of age, and I've learned many tricks over the years to make that process as stressfree as possible. I am also the long-term go-to pet sitter for our close friends who have 1 medium-sized dog and one cat. This includes a minimum of twice daily walks, two meals, and lots of play time while they are traveling. I am currently working freelance gigs from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I also have a car and traffic genuinely doesn't bother me, so if your pets need walks/meds/attention during rush hour during the week, sign me up! I believe in transparency and keeping people in the loop. This means that while I watch your fur babies, you can expect text updates and pictures so that you can see for yourself how they're doing while you are away. I am very detail-oriented, so I make a point to understand the rules of your home and how you want things run and adapt to those restrictions.

“Skyler is amazing! I have a dog aggressive dog who is leery of people. However, Araia loves going on her walks with them! Yay! I’m so glad I found them; they will make being a single dog mommy so much easier knowing my little girl is well cared for.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since the day I was born, growing up with dogs, cats, and horses and learning from an early age how to care for them with confidence and attentiveness. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’m comfortable with all aspects of care, including walking, feeding, and administering medications. I treat every dog as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness. I particularly enjoy taking dogs on long walks, hikes, and to off-leash dog parks.

About: Experienced dog bather, sitter, and owner. I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, etc. Although I will not cut hair, with my grooming experience and with a willing dog I can trim nails and bath if needed. I have a dog park down the street if that is a part of your dogs routine. I have a large availability if sitting is needed for multiple days. I work 2 days a week but am flexible. I will be able to take on multiple day sitting with minimal time away from your dog/home. I understand dogs with specific needs and instructions. My pup is also particular, so please dont be afraid to let me know your needs and I can work with you to give your pup the best experience. I dont have a fenced in yard but I do live very close to a fenced in dog park, as well as walking trails directly next to me. I have a large car with a dog seat cover in the back if I need to take your pup to bark at the park. I prefer to dog sit in the clients home where the pup will be most comfortable but am willing to watch in my own home if its the right fit.

“Callaway is very communicative and easy to work with. Unfortunately my cat was not very nice to her (unforeseen) and she took it in stride with so much gracious understanding.”

“Miranda took excellent care of our cat. She engaged with her, made sure she was fed and taken care of. This is the first time my cat is not mad at me for being gone for any length of time. Amazing!”
