Cat Sitting in East Line

About: All my life, I have had a special connection with animals. Even the pets that are "sassier" than others, I have been able to connect with to make them comfortable. Animals love me, and I love them! I attribute this to the fact that I have been a pet sitter in my neighborhood since middle school, and I have had several different kinds of pets growing up. Now that I am a college graduate, I am looking to expand my network. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, as well as some more exotic pets. Please let me know if you have any questions for me! I work full-time at an OB/GYN clinic 4 days a week. My hours are from 7 am to 5:30 pm, so I am free most days after 5:30 pm. I have one day off a week, and I do not work there on weekends. My off day is usually Mondays but it can vary; I am almost always free on weekends. I get my schedule well in advance, so if you want to know when I am available a certain week, I will definitely be able to tell you! Every pet is different. My pets at home have specific routines that they like to stick to and are more comfortable with. In my experience, I usually ask the owner to write or message me what their pet needs and when they need it. This way, they don't feel that too much has changed from their day to day, even if their owner isn't there. For example, people usually let me know what time their pet eats, how many times they usually need to go to the bathroom, and generally what makes them happy. This way, I can give them what they need and make them comfortable when they are missing you!

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 5 years old, when I got my very first dachshunds—Peanut and Sweetie. By the time I was 9, I had adopted a shelter dachshund and raised two more dachshund puppies, bringing my total to five dogs at once. I personally trained all of them, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding dog behavior, especially with independent or energetic breeds like dachshunds. Throughout middle school and my teen years, I helped neighbors by dog sitting, walking, and doing drop-in visits, often just for playtime and companionship. One of the dogs I cared for regularly was a sweet senior named Duke, who I’d take outside and spend time with while his owner was away. These experiences taught me how to adapt my care for both high-energy pups and older dogs who need a gentler, more patient approach. In addition to my pet care experience, I am also a dancer, choreographer, and educator. Through years of teaching and working with students of all ages, I’ve developed strong skills in patience, attentiveness, and understanding individual needs—qualities that naturally carry over into the way I care for animals. I also have years of experience caring for cats—both my family’s and now my own sweet cat, Tom. I understand feline behavior, how to earn their trust, and how to create a calm, safe environment where they feel comfortable while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom to my 2-month-old baby, I’m home often and have a flexible, attentive schedule. I truly value creating a calm, safe, and loving environment—for both pets and people. Whether it’s puppies, seniors, small breeds, or shy kitties, I bring patience, love, and reliable care to every visit. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I build my schedule to be available when pets need me most—whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to accommodate different routines, including weekend or last-minute needs. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like a chore to me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort above all else. In your home, I follow your routines closely to ensure your pet feels secure and stress-free. I always keep a close eye on surroundings during walks, avoiding unsafe areas or triggers. I’m familiar with handling pets with anxiety, special diets, or medication needs, and I treat every space with respect—leaving it clean and exactly how I found it. Whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet during a walk, you can count on me to show up with calm energy, attentiveness, and love.

About: Hi there! I am a current post-grad student, who studied Neuroscience and Pre-Med at Boston College. I have a great love for animals and have had both dogs and cats since I was born. I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats of which I am a part-time caretaker (when I’m home in NY)! I would love to help walk your furry friends! I will be home from graduate school from 5/8-5/20 and am open to whatever you need. Please reach out if I can be of assistance! I know how important pets are to their owners and ensure you can trust me. I have two cats of my own at home and unfortunately will not be able to bring other animals into my home at this time.

“Donna is very thorough and diligent- she’s picked up on our animals body language better than any other sitter has. We needed a sitter in a pinch, and we felt so much more at peace knowing that it was her taking care of our babies during vacation!”

Nathan C.

“I booked Elaina to do a drop In visit for my 10 week old puppy and my 8 month old puppy. She cleaned up the pee on the floor, let out my two older dogs and stayed over a half an hour to get my stubborn 8 months old puppy back in her kennel. I will definitely be booking again, if she is still willing to accept us after today’s events.”

Melanie M.

“Abigail was great with my pups and always arrived on time. She made sure my dogs got a bathroom break and treats, as well as making sure they were comfortable before leaving. Highly recommend her for any pet care needs!”

Michael Z.

“Allison took excellent care of our 3 month old puppy! She even did a meet and greet with us before we had her take care of her. She was very communicative and took care of everything we needed!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors and I treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on keeping pets comfortable. With experience in walks, feeding routines, medication support, and giving plenty of affection, I make sure every pet feels at home while you’re away. I am currently home from college so I’m pretty much free all week days! But I will do my best to always be there for your pet! I have four dogs at home and very confident that I will be able to take care of yours. My animals are very loved and social because of our loving atmosphere.

“She was great! She went above and beyond! Really helped us out. We highly recommend her and we would use her again.”

“Alexandria was great! Appreciated her flexibility adding a drop in on short notice and grateful for her attention to detail in caring for our cats- we came home to happy and clean kitties!”

Jessica F.

“She's been so reliable and punctual and keeps in touch about everything! Even extra photos!! Thrilled with Sabrina! And my dogs are tired out at the end of day thanks to their mid day exercise!”

Rachel L.

“Angela is reliable, cat friendly and makes you feel at ease knowing she drops in. She made friends with my unsocial cat. That has made us especially glad we had her services.”

About: I have had my own pets (cats and dogs) ever since I can remember. I help to watch and take care of them, as well as other family/friends pets as well! I’m working part-time, so I will be able to help out as much as needed! I can do some weekends as well if it is needed! I will be extremely attentive to your pets and follow all instructions carefully. They will feel safe and cared for when you are not there!

“We were lucky to connect with Jack through Rover; he dropped in and cared for our dogs and cat throughout our summer vacation. Jack was super nice during our meet and greet- very clearly showing his love and knowledge for animals! We appreciated the updates when he stopped over to care for our critters and we knew they were in good hands!”

About: I grew up on the farm and have over 40 years' experience and knowledge in caring for, training and loving all varieties of animals form the pet mouse to the horses and cows and everything in between. I am not a kennel. Your pet will be living like he's at home. I keep your normal routine such as feeding times, walks, playtimes and more. I don't book multiple dogs unless it's the same family or family friends dogs that know each other. We are a family-owned Electrical Contracting business, so I work from home and will be at your pet's beckon call for all their needs and I will love having their company and companionship. I am available days, nights weekends and holidays. My goal is for your pet and his family to be as stress free as possible, the best I can while you're away. I will keep your normal daily routine as if they were home, I am happy to do more if you desire, such as extra walks at the park, riding along in the car for errands, and more if you'd like. Medications, special needs are not a problem. Even with the more challenging ones.
