Cat Sitting Cross Creek

“So thankful for Sarah! This was my first time needing someone I didn’t know to take my babies out while I’m gone, and I’m so glad it was by her. She was prompt, available last minute which I am so thankful for, and great with communication and response! I have a recently adopted pup I don’t know a whole lot about yet and she handled him wonderfully, as well as my other baby. Knowing she was coming gave me such peace of mind. I absolutely recommend her!”

“Peyton is wonderful! You can tell she loves dogs and Finn adored her from the start. She is very responsive, and she was diligent with her questions in order to be best prepared. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them! I’ve had dogs of my own and have also cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs, cats, rabbits, and even snakes. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and naturally match their energy, whether they’re playful and active or just want some extra cuddles and attention. I currently work from home and am able to make my own schedule. I love animals and would have a blast playing with your pet between tasks. Since I work from home I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule to meet your pets needs. I do not have any other pets currently. I can accommodate almost any need with my current schedule. I live in a great neighborhood for walks and love to walk myself.

About: I have experience caring for my own dog and cat, as well as helping take care of my family’s pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, giving fresh water, playing, keeping pets company, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and care. I’m available every week and have a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available to discuss the best days and times that work for you and your pet. I have experience caring for my own dog and cat, as well as family pets. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and care, and make sure they have a safe and comfortable environment while they’re in my care.

About: I have an extensive background with all types of pets, even owning 15 types of big and small animals growing up myself. I’ve watched numerous breeds of dogs and cats for neighbors, family, and friends and I am dedicated to treating each pet with individuality tailored care. I have a flexible schedule as a part time barista and college student, and the earlier my notice is the more I can do for your furry friends. I make it my priority to check on my own furry friends as much as possible. Health is a top priority, but cuddles are always added if the pet permits them.

“Great care of my kitty with daily photos and updates.”

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs since I was little my father taught me to love and take care of animals from a young age. I’ve helped raise puppies and dogs of many ages and sizes I love them all! I make sure to stick to their schedules and that’s with their feeding, walking or any activity they may have I make sure to keep their routine up I have a lot of love to give I make sure they are happy and well fed and played with I don’t mind giving them baths and I have some experience with nail trimming I make sure they get enough exercise as well I don’t mind taking them on walks but also love to cuddle with them when it’s time to relax I take care of them as if they are my own I give them all the love and attention they need I always make sure to do a great job and I’ve had family friends and people I’ve pet sat for tell me the same that I’m very caring and do a great job! I’m currently unemployed I do a few babysitting jobs here and there but my schedule is very open I always move my schedule around to fit the needs of the pets I’m babysitting and of their owners as I like to make sure to stick to their daily routine so the pet feels comfortable I live in a mobile home so no fenced in yard my fur babies get walked on a leash and certain times of the day usually when there’s no other dogs around as mine are small dogs they get nervous around big dogs but they are very friendly I make sure to keep them safe always checking the surroundings I’m very protective of my fur babies but also those that are in my care make sure they are safe well fed and clean i usually have wipes for my babies that I use in between baths or if their paws get dirty I’ll clean them up I also check to see if they need nail trimming and I give them treats when they are well behaved which is all the time I run around with them when inside of the house they do have a kennel usually in their when it’s bed time and sometimes during the day when I’m babysitting kids they tend to get nervous but are super friendly with kids they just sometimes get overwhelmed so I put them in their safe space and they’ll usually sleep or play around with their stuffed toys and I’ll take them out either every thirty minutes to an hour or every two hours to either go potty or to walk around the house

About: I am a dog mom myself of a (spoiled rotten) German Shepherd named Lyla. She’s taught me so many valuable lessons that helped me care for others animals as well. I have knowledge about breeds and their specific needs. I will go above and beyond for your four legged child! I have pet care routine daily with my dog at home! I also assist my sister with care for her brand new 8 week old kitten. I always make sure my dog is happy and comfortable with her surroundings. The same goes for others pets! (Of course with your consent) I will always take your dog on fun trips to the pet store, bake yummy homemade treats fit to their needs and allergies, etc. I will always make sure that your dog/cat is comfortable with their surroundings and get plenty of love while their favorite humans are away!

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve fostered a variety of breeds from Great Danes to dachshunds and Rottweilers so I’m comfortable with different temperaments and needs. For the past 6 months, I’ve also been helping with pet sitting and dog care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and providing a calm, consistent routine. I always aim to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m based in Branford and commute to Gainesville for college, so my schedule can vary slightly throughout the semester. That said, I do my best to be flexible and accommodate requests whenever possible. I’m typically available for care in both areas, including weekends and many weekdays, including holidays with a proper heads up, and I’m happy to coordinate times that work best for you and your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. I’m experienced handling dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I always prioritize secure environments, proper leash handling, and careful supervision. I provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Teri was excellent with our cat Reagan. Engaged her in play with some toys that she brought and left our healthy and happy. Thank you so much Teri. We'll definitely use you again and recommend to others.”
