Cat Sitting Darbydale

“My senior Goldendoodle was so loved and cared for during visits by Emma. Emma was easy to work with in organizing the visits. She was on time for appointments and truly spent quality time with my pup. I trust her with being in my home and caring for my pet-family. I will call on Emma again...she's awesome!”

Experience • Veterinary assistant background in general practice and urgent care • professional insured business experience since 2020; providing pet care full-time since 2024 • Currently enrolled in an online veterinary technician program Fear Free Certifications • Level 2 — Dogs & Cats • Avian • Equine Specialty I specialize in providing services for fearful, anxious, and reactive pets.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. Over the years I’ve cared for all kinds of animals, from furry friends to reptiles, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I treat every animal like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, cuddle, or just needs someone patient and reliable to care for them, I’m happy to provide the attention they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always care for them with the same love and dedication I’d give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing pets! When you book with me, you can expect dependable, loving care for your pets while you’re away. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals—from furry friends to reptiles and even slithering companions—so I understand that every pet has unique needs and deserves personalized attention. Because I have my own wonderful crew of animals at home, I’m unable to offer overnight stays or boarding in my home. However, I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, and attentive care to make sure your pets stay happy, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment. I’ll treat your pets like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your beloved companion is a big decision, and I’ll care for your pets with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own animals. 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 it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering basic care, or providing plenty of playtime and affection, I’ll make sure your pet receives attentive, individualized care. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during each visit, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress experience where your pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for until you return home.

“Samantha was wonderful with my sweet boy cat! He loved her on their first introduction. His care is a handful with twice a day medicine dosings, and she was always consistent and kind. She did little extras for me, like taking my trash out. She sent pictures and kept in communication throughout our time away. I highly recommend her and plan of rebooking for my next trip!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs but I also love cats! I am open to all animals as well. I am currently working as a pet attendant and also am K9 CPR/First aid certified. I currently work part time. I am mostly looking for weekend work during the day/afternoon! Depending on the day I may be able to do a special accommodation! I am open to any requirements you have for taking care of your pet! I am big on honesty,constructive criticism, and communication as well so there is no need to worry that your pet isn’t getting what they need!

“I had a last minute need for a sitter and Mallory responded so quickly and was a lifesaver.”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, both personally and professionally! I spent nine years working as a veterinary technician, in addition to completing three years of veterinary technician education. That experience gave me extensive knowledge of animal behavior, health, and handling, as well as a genuine appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of every pet. I'm comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including senior pets, anxious or fearful animals, and those with special medical needs. I have experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, and my veterinary background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health that might otherwise go unnoticed. I understand that trusting someone else to care for your pets can be stressful. Whether I'm stopping by to feed your cat, taking your dog for a walk, administering medication, or simply spending some quality time with your furry family member, I'll treat them with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want someone to give my own pets. I believe that every animal deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I take the time to get to know each pet's individual personality, routine, and preferences rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach to their care. You can also expect reliable communication and updates, including photos, so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine! As a pet parent myself, I'm accustomed to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure my own dog gets the attention and care he needs. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for other people's pets. I'm available for both occasional visits and recurring bookings, whether you need someone to walk your dog while you're at work, check in on your cat while you're out of town, or provide extra attention and companionship during the day. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when it comes to pet care, and I make it a priority to arrive on time, follow established routines, and give each pet my full attention during our time together. My goal is to make scheduling pet care as convenient and stress-free as possible for you! I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, where your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I tailor my care to their individual personality, preferences, and any instructions you provide. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, medication administration, playtime, and plenty of affection (for pets who enjoy it!). I also make sure to check on your pet's overall well-being and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior, appetite, or physical condition. For dog walks, I prioritize safety while making sure your dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and opportunity to explore that they need. I'll always follow your instructions regarding leash handling, interactions with other animals, and any physical limitations or behavioral concerns. With nine years of veterinary technician experience, I'm comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. I take the time to build trust, especially with animals who may be nervous around unfamiliar people, and I never force interactions with a pet who needs space. I treat your home with the same respect I give your pets, making sure doors and gates are secured, everything is left tidy, and your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. You'll also receive updates and photos after each visit, so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in good hands!

“Ashley has been so great to our cats and we will continue to book with her as long as we are in this area. There is no reason to book anyone else!”

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I could remember. Been around Great Danes to yorkies and love them all. I also have a cat and dog of my own both I’ve rescue and adore. I’ve also trained my dog, I’ve had her since she was 7 months old. I train with positive attitude and treats. I was relied on by family and friends to watch, walk and feed their pets. Occasionally would do some basic training to help keep up and of course cuddles. My pets are friendly with other animals, my dog gets excited when she gets to meet new friends and then goes about her business. I also have a crate for my dog if anything. I try to give the visiting pup a chance to sniff around first and get warmed up before I let my dog meet her. Allows both dogs to calm down and be relax by then.

About: I’ve dog-sat (and house-sat) for friends for a while, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing happy dogs! I love taking them for long walks or runs, spending the day playing with them, and of course giving them plenty of hugs and pets! ❤️🐶 I’m currently working full-time, so during the week I’m available to go on short walks during lunch and make sure your dog is fed and can use the bathroom. I can spend time with them in the evenings as well, and I’m also available for house sitting to keep them company while you’re away! I don’t have any pets of my own at home, but I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets of friends and family members. I like taking them for walks through neighborhoods or parks where they can meet other dogs or people and see new places!

“Irina was thorough, responsive, and kind! she was great to work with and took excellent care of my cats.”
