Cat Sitting Derby

“Jessica is ALWAYS the best. She takes such good care of our cat, Mipha. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter. We'll definitely be having her watch Mipha again!”

“Molly was great. One of our cats, Maggie, absolutely adored her. She is a very finicky cat & has not liked any of our other sitters at all! When we came home she went through Molly withdrawals 😁. That alone showed us Molly is perfect for us. Molly was very conscientious & professional. Knowing she’s a vet tech gave us extra piece of mind in case something happened. She connected with our cats perfectly. She contacted us daily with updates & pictures. She answered immediately if we had any questions or concerns. We will definitely rebook with her!”

I've cared for dogs of friends, family, and neighbors for years and understand that leaving your pet requires real trust. Your dog will have a calm, clean, private home environment, not a kennel.

I provide daily photo and text updates so you always know your fur baby is happy and safe. No crates unless specifically requested — just a warm, loving home environment.

About: I’ve had multiple pets throughout my life whom I loved and took care of well through all stages of their lives. I’ve worked with dogs on basic commands and cared for my dog that passed from years of cancer. Most of my care was toward my own pets, but I love all animals! I am currently home for the summer, and I have a pretty open schedule to walk, check in on, and pet sit! My schedule is very flexible to work with whatever time I’m needed. I have a fenced in yard with grass, as well as a pool in the backyard. I no longer have any pets of my own, but many toys!

About: I have been cat-obsessed for as long as I can remember (even going so far as putting “cat” as my nickname in the 5th grade yearbook, embarrassingly). Understanding a cat’s body language has become second nature after living with cats for my entire life. I am extremely patient with shy kitties who might take some time to get comfortable with a new person. But don’t mistake this as a low-effort cop-out - I fully recognize that cats need enrichment and play and am happy to use a string, mouse toy, laser pointer, spring, or random shoelace to make sure your kitty uses up some energy from their many cat naps. Unfortunately my current housing does not allow pets, so Peppermint is with her sisters at my family’s house. I only work on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so your pets will be my top priority for the rest of the week! I can drop by for an early or late feeding time, so your pets’ routine stays consistent even while you’re away! Your kitties will stay comfortable in their own space and with their normal routine (whatever that may be). You can expect a range of services such as feeding, refilling water dishes, playing, petting, brushing, cleaning litter boxes, and taking care of any hairballs.

About: Hi there! My name is Liliana Meleshkewich and I have had experience with all kinds of pets starting from when I was really young. Currently I own a dog, cat, lizard, and snake so I don’t shy away from any kind of animal. I have dog sat in the past and have cared for many different breeds of dogs. I have always loved spending time with dogs and any other kind of animal. I also am very active and would love to go on a run or hike with your dog. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your dog and to help out when needed! Thank you so much for considering me and please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have! I’m currently working Tuesdays-Saturdays starting at 1, so morning care I have available! Mondays and Sundays are free. My schedule is flexible and I’m able to adjust when needed if discussed beforehand. I have the ability to travel to you when needed and can easily crate your dog if needed as well. I am experienced in leashing dogs as well.

About: I’ve had cats since I was 13 and have many years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs with different personalities and needs. I was able to help an older rescue cat become comfortable and affectionate over time, which taught me patience and how to build trust with shy or nervous cats. I currently have a tortie of my own, so I understand how important routines, playtime, and a calm environment are. I treat every cat and dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time as a paraprofessional from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays and am currently earning my master’s degree in elementary education. I’m available for pet care visits in the late afternoons and evenings after 4:30 PM, as well as weekends and school breaks. For cat sitting, I’m happy to stay for extended visits and can sit with your cat while I complete my schoolwork so they have calm companionship and supervision while you’re away. My schedule is consistent and dependable, and I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable and on their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routines closely so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I provide feeding, litter box care, playtime, and calm companionship during visits. As a paraprofessional and graduate student in elementary education, I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to details and instructions. I also communicate regularly with updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe, cared for, and relaxed.

“Robin is amazing! Our cat has health issues and needs medication so he stays with Robin while we are away. She is so kind and flexible, making it very easy to relax while we are away from him. I cannot recommend her enough!”

It’s clear he takes his role seriously. We are so grateful to have hired him. He is a trustworthy and kind individual!”
