Cat Sitting in Darlington

“Alexis was wonderful: very communicative, flexible, thorough, and punctual. She did a great job dropping in our two cats for a few days, and we especially loved that she took time to give the cats affectionate attention and to send us photos with every visit. Highly recommend, no complaints, and hope to book Alexis again!”

About: Hey! My name is Gia, and I am a college student spending my summer dedicated to your pup! From German shepherds to beagles, rambunctious to shy, I have cared for, walked, and become best friends with them all! I would love to become your dog's loyal walker or sitter :-) (currently at college right now, so excited to make friends when i return!!) I will be working part-time in May, so I will have more than enough time to see my new friends! I take long walks daily, so if your pup needs a walk during the day while you are at work, I am your person! My sister has a rambunctious Australian Shepherd at my house who is the sweetest, but isn't the best with other dogs. I would love to care for your part at your house, though! Whether it be just a check-in or a full day play date, I will make sure he or she is taken care of.

About: I’ve always had a love for dogs. As a child, I was never allowed to have one. Many of my friends owned dogs, and I found myself loving to spend all my time at their houses …. More to hang out with their dogs than with them! I have owned dogs in my adulthood, and it’s been a true blessing. They have enriched my life in so many ways. I currently work full time but am available during weekday evenings after 430pm to serve all your dogs needs. I would love to spend my time with them! I am available to walk your dogs, spend quality time with them, help feed them as necessary or help with whatever your individual needs may be.

About: I have been around paws and claws since the day I was born. My family always has known me to love animals unconditionally. Times where others were on vacation including my parents, aunts/uncles, friends etc would trust me with checking in, playing, feeding, and walking. I currently work full time in health care. (3, 12hr shifts) I'm looking to get to know/walk/care for your pets on my days off! My wife and I have two fur babies. One a Black Lab and the other a Sassy Shiba Inu. Trusting me with walking and/or visiting your furbabies would be my honor and I would ensure a trusting, safe, fun environment to make you wanna choose me again and again on my available days! I keep close eye on my dogs and when it comes to anothera I promise to be extra vigilant to ease any anxiety you may have from being away from them. I love pets unconditionally and treat all animals with kindness, compassion, and lots of love cause we know they are our big/small drooling babies.

“Loved the pictures! Made my long work day much better. Thank you!”

About: I have three dogs of different breeds, mixed breeds and purebreds. They’re all different sizes and energy levels so I am well versed in different dog personalities! I also have three rescue cats and enjoy playing with all animals! I am currently a student finishing a masters program at Saint Vincent College. I live locally and I grew up in Ligonier Valley! I do work part time, but I am planning to move in the future and would like to be able to save anything I can! I not only love animals, but I am dedicated to supporting you while you’re away from your fur family! I’m a confident person around pets and will keep them safe and loved while in my care! All of my pets are rescued and I grew up in a home being a part of training them and how to behave around them!

About: Being around dogs has been the foundation of my life since the age of 3. From caring for my own pets, helping our neighbor who bred collies, and caring for dogs while also caring for my patients at work as a home health occupational therapist, I feel like every pet is part of my family. My heart is full around any four legged friend and I strive to care for them, show them the deepest love, and teach them as I do my own children. It’s in my blood! I currently work as a home health OT with a flexible schedule during the day. I also have windows of time during the evenings and weekends to care for any pet. Teaching my sons responsibility and skills required to care well for animals are just an added bonus! I own my home with a large yard in the rear of the home. I’m also able to provide in-home boarding as I do not currently have a pet in the home. I also am able to offer drop-in services to address any home needs (mail, plant care, shoveling or vacation mowing), dog-walking, and light housework. Additional services like dog-walking upon request- let’s make your time away painless without concern at home.

About: I’ve had pups in my house for my entire life 21 + years, i am also a ferret lover and a cat lover. friends and family have relied on me to watch their dogs before while they’ve been on vacation. I’d love to meet your pets! I’m currently an online college student just trying to make enough money to pay the bills! I also have worked in the restaurant industry since I was 15 but have always had a love for animals. I’m currently going to school for environmental science and hopefully one day will get my masters in geoarcheology! I have loads of free time around my serving schedule! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! I love to just hangout with your dog and get to know them! Meet and greets are always fun! I love walking dogs it’s great exercise for me as well as them of course!

“Fantastic, she came through at the last minute; I appreciate how attentive she was was with our 2 cats”

“First and foremost, it was clear from the time of the meet & greet that Natasha really loves cats, both in things she talked about and how she reacted when they peeked out and showed their faces. That was a really important thing for us. Her communication was great from the initial contact, even confirming the meet & greet about an hour ahead of time, and that continued during our time out of town. She asked conscientious questions about things we might or might not want her to do (both with the cats and in general with the house). She included some detail in the Rover Report Card each day so we knew how the cats were doing, whether they were interacting with her, etc. And we got daily photos, even if/when they stayed in hiding. That gave us a great sense of comfort to see their faces each day---like most people, we're very attached. With other places (including a boarding facility), we haven't gotten daily pics, and it really made a world of difference that we did. We're very happy with everything and would absolutely have Natasha check on the girls when we're out of town again.”

About: I have taken care of animals and pets since I was young. Growing up, we had puppies, dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens. With my children we had guinea pigs, hamsters, and cats. I currently work full time but I have a full hour for lunch to stop by and care for your pets. I can do drop ins or stay at your house, whatever is needed to make sure your pet is safe and loved. I have two cats at my house. They are well loved and follow me everywhere. I make sure they have nutritious food and clean water always. I have helped with dogs, making sure they are safe when out walking. I make sure they are given the right amounts of food and always have water. As a pet lover, I want to give them companionship, love, and security while their "parents" are away.

About: I’ve had pets all my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals before. I love and adore animals. Thanks for your time. I’m currently working part-time at a hotel. I would like to be doing pet sitting a few days of the week. I can’t wait :) For my pets at home i have a fenced in section of my home. My home is average sized so good amount of room. We have lots of toys for our doggos

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats in all stages of life. I grew up with dogs in the home and cats around my grandparents' farm. I currently have 2 dogs, one 5 years old and the other 13 years old, as well as a 2 year old cat. All of my animals have been rescues. I have always loved spending time around animals, as they touch a special place in my soul. I currently work full time as a preschool teacher, but I am looking to keep myself busy on the weekends as well as a couple nights a week. Feeding & Hydration I’ll follow your pet’s regular feeding schedule, ensuring they get the proper portion sizes and nutrition. Fresh water will always be available to keep them hydrated. Exercise & Playtime Whether it’s a daily walk for your dog or interactive playtime for your cat, I make sure to engage in activities that will help keep your pets active and entertained. I can also tailor these activities based on their energy levels and preferences. Comfort & Companionship Pets thrive on companionship, so I’ll spend quality time with them. I can offer cuddles, gentle grooming, or just sit with them to make them feel safe and loved. I’ll also ensure they have a comfortable resting place. Maintaining Routine & Security I understand how important it is for pets to stick to their routines, so I’ll keep their schedules as close to normal as possible. I’ll also keep your home secure, following any instructions you’ve provided about gates, doors, or safety protocols. Communication with You I know you’ll want to stay updated on your pet’s well-being, so I will send you regular updates, including photos and videos, to let you know how they’re doing.

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. I don’t know what my life would be like without them. I am from a big dog kind of family and have been riding horses since I was four years old. I have experience working as a trainer and walker at the shelter near me. We took in fosters in need of urgent homes and even had one of them give birth to a litter of four, all of them were adopted out to friends in our town, even the mom! Friends and family have trusted me with their furry loved ones due to the love and care I provide them with while their families are away. My horseback trainer breeds her dogs yearly and I help care for the puppies and their mother during and after birth. I’ve dealt with many different dogs and can deal with a lot of sizes and energies. I work at a dog hotel in the area and have serviced with veterinarians nearby. Bathing, feeding, handling etc. are all things I am more than experienced dealing with and I love what I do more than anything. I am currently a junior in college and am very flexible with my time and am available most days and in between classes, if you have any questions/requests don’t hesitate to ask! I have off many breaks as well. I have a very large fenced yard and two big dogs to keep your fur baby(s) company. They are very friendly and love all dogs and people, they love to take a dip in the pool and run for hours in the yard. I can easily crate and meet any special needs/requests you or your dog may have. When visiting pets in their home I do not let them leave my sight and will always keep a close eye on them. Making sure your dog is happy, safe and comfortable is my number one priority.

About: Growing up in rural Virginia I’ve had my fair share of pet sitting jobs. From dogs and cats to horses and chickens, my love runs deep for all animals which is shown through my compassionate and thoughtful care. I promise to care for your furbaby like my own. I value communication when petsitting, I will keep you updated on your pet’s time spent with me. I can be available most weekends and weeknights. I currently work a full-time job but I promise to put time aside for your pet’s care. I value communication, honesty, and compassion in petsitting. I promise to keep you updated on your pet’s wellbeing and I will share plenty of pictures (if wanted).

About: I work my typical job as a 5th grade teacher but was a nanny before that with lots of dog experience from that! However, I have cared for many families that had older dogs and cats as well as have gotten puppies while I was their nanny. So, I have experience with all ages of dogs as well as cats. I am currently working as a 5th grade teacher during the day until 3pm. With my nights being completely free the nights I work as well as weekends! I can be flexible, if you need quick visits or longer stays of visits for your animals. Based on your needs in your home I am able to accommodate!

About: As long as I can remember growing up we always had animals mostly dogs. As I got older I have always been the one my friends and family come to when they need someone to care for their pets. I would pet sit, take them on walks , stay with them and play with them. I am a true dog lover through and through. I have had dogs my whole life . My son has 5 dogs and pretty much everyone I know is a pet lover so no matter where I go I’m around animals. I watch dogs for friends and my son often. I can take them to the dog park to run and play with other dogs. We can go on walks and play in the yard.
