Cat Sitting in Detmold

About: I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and how important it is to find someone who gets how much your pet means to you. That’s why when caring for others’ pets, I treat them how I’d want someone to care for my own — with lots of love, attention, and playfulness…or calm comfort (whichever suits them best!). I’m happy to follow any special instructions or routines, and always keep you updated with cute pics and notes, if desired. Whether your dog’s super social or a couch cuddler, I’ll make sure they feel loved, happy, and cared for! With being in charge of my own schedule, I have the opportunity to be flexible and accommodate many time-based needs. As a private practice clinician, my work hours are typically shorter and of a different time frame than the average 9-5. I have spare time on my hands during week days (and weekends) when most need care! My area of availability is broad as well as I’m local to the Franklin County area, but work in Chesterfield. While I don’t offer in home care out of love and respect for my own dog-children, I can accommodate your environment — whether that be one inside, outside with no fence, outside with a fence, etc.

“Barbara did a great job taking care of my boys (cats) while I was away. She showed up as scheduled and took care of feeding and cleaning the litter boxes. I got photos each day which was fun to see and a video one day as well. Nice to know that they were well taken care of!!!”

“Kylee was great she sent photos every day. She walked our pug and played with him. Checked our cameras and he looked happy every time she came to hang with him.”

About: I have worked at an animal hospital for 4+ years, taking care of patients and overnight boarders at our facility. I have experience with every type of dogs ranging across the board; from puppies to seniors; small dogs to big dogs; from friendly to reserved dogs. I’m experienced and comfortable giving any type of medication (pill, injection, etc.) and can give special care to dogs with special needs. There isn’t a mess that I haven’t had to clean, so I’m prepared to create a safe and healthy environment for any pet. I am also able bodied and can keep up with energetic dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and work part time at the moment, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pets. My work hours vary from week to week but no matter the hours, I’ll be able to provide consistent potty breaks and check ins. I genuinely care about the happiness and safety of all animals, and I’m prepared to provide such an environment. There’s not a mess that I can’t handle or that I haven’t cleaned in the past. I am very good at reading body language to know what the animal is thinking, feeling, and what they need in any given moment. I have experience giving animals medications and can follow special rules or intrusions for feeding, walking, or care.

About: I’ve raised two dogs myself, a hound mix and a German shepherd/Labrador mix. I may need as many walks as dogs do, so I’m your girl when it comes to dog walking! I do have a very flexible schedule most days, so I should be available to play with or walk your pup whenever you need it! I offer check-ins and walks. I do not have pets in my own home, but I am available to dog-sit in the owners home. I feel that’s where the dog will be most comfortable anyway.

About: I’ve mostly had cats growing up, but I absolutely love dogs as well. I would be happy to take good care of your fur babies! I do have a job in Washington Missouri, so I would need to build my schedule around that. I work weekdays 7-3 and have weekends off. I actually just moved to St Clair and am in the process of introducing my cat and my boyfriend’s cat. Introducing cats is a very long process, but I am willing to take whatever amount of time that is needed to make sure we don’t rush things! I also think it is super important for owners to be able to trust the sitters because there are so many horror stories you hear about other peoples’ experiences. I am the perfect trustworthy person for the job!

“Katherine did a great job. Very professional and the cats liked her. Excellent communication complete with photos that eased my mind.”

About: I’ve had my dog Teddy for three years, and my cat Squash for two. I love animals of all kinds and have been asked by family and friends since a young age to help them take care of animals. I’m gentle with touch but firm with my voice, love to train and spoil them, and adore going on walks. Your pets will be in good hands with me My schedule is really open right now, so I’m available for whatever your pet may need. I understand how important schedules can be, which is why I like being flexible. I’m very good at making sure that all the necessary tasks are met first when I get into the house, then if I’m allowed to, I usually try and spend a little time with that animal to gain their trust.

About: I have helped raise two dogs growing up, one cocker spaniel and one golden retriever. I have also somewhat raised cats. Unfortunately all the cats my family has gotten has been outside cats which always made me disappointed. I have pet sat before for both a cat and a medium dog. I love taking care of animals and becoming buddies with pets. Big dogs do slightly intimidate me so I would like to stick to smaller dogs. I am working part time in Hermann and I will have a good amount of time open now that school is over. I am in the Washington/union area but I can drive pretty much anywhere within 25 miles. I plan on moving to Columbia in the fall but I will be pet sitting all this summer to get some more money with my other job. I know that most pets are feisty but I am patient and caring for animals especially since this world can be cruel to them. I will care for your pets based on all the information you give me and if I have any questions I will ask. I also have many friends with animal experience who can help me out if needed. I won’t mistreat your home and will clean up after myself as well as keep it cleaned (I sometimes get a kick out of cleaning). I can keep your home and pets safe.

About: I have been animal sitting now for the last six years of my life. I have taken animals of all sizes and animals with disabilities and special needs. I work Tuesday through Saturday from 9-5 but I am available anytime outside of the frame. Holidays I am always available for if given enough notice. I like to give lots of attention, let me know what your fur baby likes and doesn’t to help me take the best care I can for them. Lists are a big help for me on anything from what time they eat to when they need their medicine.

About: I have taken care of my animals 5 years and my family animals since a kid. My own dog has epilepsy so I know what to look for and what to do in that situation. I know how to give medication. I currently work at the Zipline in Stanton so it’s not a set schedule. With that I take care of them before I leave or really I take care of them first in the morning. I have two very loving dogs who love to play outside with others. My backyard is big and fenced in. And I have baby gates to keep them out of things they shouldn’t have.

About: We are current dog owner looking to care for other small, medium, & large dogs at our house or at yours. We are proud owner of 5 year old Lexi lab/husky, 2 year old Arlo dachshund/lab, and our sweet, well behaved, potty trained 5 month old puppy Marley pit/terrier. We have two children both over the age of 3. I’ve been a dog owner for the last 21 plus years. We have also cared those belonging to family and friends on many occasions. We have a large gated backyard that your dog will enjoy. We spend lots of time outside so all dogs will get plenty outdoor time. Our days start early, so drop off and pickup times are pretty flexible. We look forward to welcoming and caring for your sweet one too. Our schedule is completely flexible. We are willing to work with your daily life schedule anytime of day and the needs of your puppy dog. We have a backyard and three friendly dogs for your pup to play with. We spend a lot of time outdoors and I can easily crate your dog if needed.

“Leigh's care for our senior cat, Diesel, was truly remarkable! She is an absolute gem! During our vacation, she provided 7 days of outstanding care for our 18-year-old senior cat, Diesel. The level of communication was excellent! Leigh kept us updated multiple times a day about Diesel's well-being. Coming home to a spotless house after a long day of travel was the perfect ending to vacation. She went above and beyond in caring for Diesel and our home and exceeded all expectations. We are deeply grateful to have found Leigh; she's far more than a pet sitter to us—she's a remarkable human who provided the best care possible for Diesel.”

About: Hi there! I'm Kristen, and I am so excited to meet and care for your four legged babies! Taking care of animals has always been a passion of mine, and providing your pets with quality care while allowing you peace of mind is my promise. I truly understand just how much they mean to you. I have over 20 years of experience caring for cats and dogs (plus a few fish and turtles over the here and there)! Before I had my son, I was employed full time at an animal hospital & pet lodge, working reception, kennels (doggy daycare, walks, feeding, 1:1 play time, etc) and assisting with patients working directly with veterinarians in the hospital. My time there not only expanded my veterinary knowledge but my experience in caring for a large variety of different cats and dogs. I have an 8 year old son who’s a HUGE animal lover himself. If your pet likes kiddos, I can happily bring him with me, and if not that’s ok too! (He can always stay with my husband) We are new to Hermann and currently have our one sweet cat. My schedule is incredibly flexible and essentially wide open at this point. I would love to become your pet caregiver for the upcoming summer months and beyond! I would be happy to share references upon your request. Can’t wait to hear from you! As of right now, my schedule is incredibly flexible! My 8 year old begins summer break after 5/16, but I can easily bring him with me if that’s okay with you! I am unable to offer care in my home at this time, but I can provide walks, check-ins, or overnights in your home. I’m available weekdays, nights, weekends and holidays.

About: Fun, reliable, and safe care for your best friend is here! In my home or yours, walks and playing, or just a quick stop to make sure they potty and eat I got you! I am always excited to meet new furry friends :) I currently work 4 days a week. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats that are part of our daily routine for walks, playing, and snuggles. Weekends around here are generally pretty chill but even on busy weekends there’s always time for extra furry friends in our lives! I have 2 cats and 2 dogs in my home. When it’s potty time doggies are leashed to ensure no one runs away. Whether my home or yours I’ll make sure your best furry friend is comfortable. Need to be crated? I got you! Need to snuggled? You got it!

About: I've always loved animals ever since I was a little girl. Since the age of 9 I've been around all kinds of animals besides dogs and cats. Like birds and reptiles that kinda thing. When I do pet sit for someone I usually try to see what the dogs or cats favorite toy or treat is. Then would go and buy a little goody bag for them, just to tell them that there a good girl or a good boy! Besides watching your pets I try to make sure to tidy up your house and to make sure it's nice before you come home. I'm also a quick learner and would help if your animal needs a certain kind of medicine or treatment. I have some experience with that already but I love to learn new things! I'm currently only working weekends part time. It's just not enough for me and since I love animals why not be a pet sitter or just your everyday dog walker. I try my very best to get to know your pet as much as possible. More like I'll treat your pet like how I treat my own. For an example if they have allergies I'll make a quick note and make sure that I don't give them anything there not supposed to have.

“Abigail did a great job taking care of my dog. She was very communicative and sent me photos each day. I was very pleased with her care and would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve taken care of different kinds of dogs throughout my life. Big dogs small dogs, and many different breeds with different behaviors. I’ve owned dogs for the majority of my life and find joy in taking care of them. Pet care would fit into my schedule anytime during the day or week. I would like to take care of animals full time in the future. I have experience with crating dogs if needed, and keeping dogs out of cages. I am attentive towards the animals needs at all time. I am very loving towards animals and love to show affection.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 11 but I have had my own pets since birth. I have had a Pug, Golden Retriever, German shepherd, Great Dane and some mutts. The cats have mostly been strays we have took in but I have also worked with main coons and Savannah cats. I have yet to meet a breed i didn’t love. I also have worked in several places where I take care of bathing, grooming, and nail trims. I can also give meds as I just recently lost a pup who I was giving seizure medication to. So I am prepared if that does happen with your animals as well. I also have a dog who had anxiety who we gave medication to. I’m A stay at home mom currently who is trying to earn some income to save up for Christmas. I am available anytime day or night. I would prefer to watch at your place, but I do have a Leash they can be hooked to as well as a pretty big crate that most dogs can fit into! I do have 2 small children that they would be around if they did stay with me!

About: I have more than 20 years of experiencing caring for dogs and ensuring their happiness and wellbeing. From large to small, I love them all. I currently have a Newfoundland and a Labrador. I am comfortable giving medications to any pets who may need them. I work from home and therefore available to spend as much time with your pet or in your home as may be preferred. My schedule is highly flexible and I strive to be accommodating. I aim to treat everyone's home as if it were my own and will try my best to leave it cleaner and im better shape than before my arrival.
