Cat Sitting in Elida

“Kailynn has been phenomenal at checking in on my Pupps on days my schedule runs long making her a huge help. She was willing to do a quick meet and greet prior to starting the service to see the specific ins and outs of the home and play area. I read a lot of these reviews an believe them to be very helpful so I cannot recommend Kailynn enough and I know my Pupps are in good hands.”

“Rachel did an amazing job with my cats! She ended up coming twice for meet & greets since they were a little nervous and was super patient the whole time. You could tell she had a lot of experience with and really did like pets. She also took lots of pics and made sure to take good care of the cats & played with them. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I provide a peaceful, attentive home where your dog won’t just be ‘watched’, they’ll be loved, played with, and cared for like one of my own. I am a self-employed and independent contractor for real estate and a nonprofit so my schedule for work can be made around taking care of your pets. I am home many hours of the day and most evenings. I have a very large apartment which is more like a condominium. I have over 1000 ft.² of open living in kitchen area where dogs can run and play. I also have a large lot of over an acre behind my place where I can walk the dogs on a leash to keep them safe so they don’t run off but plenty of space for us to walk and get exercise. I also Own a secondary property that has a fenced in yard area where I can take them to run off leash and play additionally.

About: My soul belongs to cats, and my heart belongs to dogs! I've been around both my whole life, and now my husband and I live with our dog and two cats. I've also been rescuing and fostering cats since 2021 which has given me quite the education on feline care. My pets are my whole world, and it's my mission to provide that same level of dedication to my clients' fur babies! I know first-hand how challenging it can be to trust someone with your beloved pets. You worry about their safety, their health, their tender emotions, and how much they'll miss you. Once we meet, I hope I can assure you that my gentle and fun-loving nature, attention to detail, and skilled observations will leave your fur baby in great hands. I document everything when caring for animals so I can provide detailed updates after each check-in. This includes diet, bathroom breaks, and behavior. And trust me, not a single symptom or sign of stress goes unnoticed! We'll stay in touch for whatever you and your fur babies need. Even if only for peace of mind, asking for specific photos/videos, or making an adjustment to their care routine. :) My experience includes: •Cat behavior, confidence-building, & enrichment •Positive reinforcement training (cats & dogs) •Basic puppy care and training •Dog walking •Kitten care: newborns to juveniles •Senior care (cats & dogs) •Medication administration: topical, oral, and injections •Mild-moderate behavior care: shy/"spicey" cats, reactive dogs •Mild-moderate special needs: mobility challenges, illnesses, injury recovery •Detailed symptom documentation for rescue and veterinary care Being trusted to care for your fur babies is the highest honor! Let's connect so I can meet them and see if I'm the right fit for you. :) I'm currently self-employed part-time and set my own schedule, outside of rescue commitments. This means my schedule is flexible within reason, and I'm often available for multiple check-ins per day, if needed. Your home is your pet's safe space, and it's my job to keep it that way! I'll always stick to their routine, no matter how detailed. I'm a stickler for "door dasher" pets and animals who have a history of bolting, so I'll always put things in place to prevent it. Dogs will always be observed during yard potty breaks or taken on walks. And finally, all animals will be observed very closely during each check-in so you can stay as up-to-date as possible!

About: I am an avid dog and cat lover. I currently have 2 dogs and multiple cats and will treat your pets with the same love I give my animals. I walk every day so I am willing and able to walk any distance. I am willing to walk at any pace. I have had large dogs (shepherds/pits) and small dogs (poodles/Shiba Inu). I follow all dog walking rules and would never put your dog in any harm. I truly enjoy walking and interacting with dogs. I can also take care of your dogs and cats and feed them when you are away for an extended day or vacation. I welcome all breeds. I just need to meet them prior to walk them or care for them. Pls contact me with any questions. You won’t regret choosing me I am currently retired so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your pets. I have availability to stay overnight in your home if desired I am very cognizant of pet safety. I used to have an escape artist for a dog so I learned to ensure dogs can’t escape. I will take visits of your pets on every visit so you can see how they are doing

“Great with first time meeting talk, also great with communication. Would strongly recommend.”

“Crystal was great with our cat Otis! She and her family came to check on him and spend lots of extra time with him. She kept in contact with me through very entertaining updates and had great instincts about what he wanted and needed. Would definitely use her and Pierce and Tala again!”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet sitter with over 2 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all personalities and needs. Alongside pet sitting, I also work on dog training, focusing on patience, trust, and positive reinforcement. I genuinely care about every animal I work with and always treat them like family. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and understood while helping them grow and thrive. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be consistently available for pet sitting and training anytime after 7am and before 3pm. I will care for your dog in the comfort of their own home, maintaining routines, providing loving attention, regular exercise, enrichment, and patient guidance to ensure they feel safe and happy.

About: I have cared for multiple kinds of pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, guinea pigs, etc. I have worked at two veterinary clinics as well as a pet store. I know the importance of animal care and will ensure that any animal in my care is treated right. I am currently working full time at Aldi. My hours differ week to week; earliest I work is at 6am and the latest I get off is 9pm. But, I don’t work super long hours so it is still very easy to fit pet care in my schedule! I will be moving back to school in West Lafayette, IN in August 2026. My services will take place at my client's home. Depending on if there are any specific directions, I will care for your pets properly and do what you request.

“Emily is sweet and takes the best photos of our fur babies. She is great at communicating as well. We are looking forward to her caring for our fur babies in the future.”

About: I have been a dog lover for much of my life! Growing up we had cats and smaller breed dogs. I begged my parents to allow me to watch our neighbors' dogs when they left town, and I was the go-to caretaker of our family's pets. As an adult, I have cared for 3 dogs of my own and currently we have 2 larger breed dogs. We adopted all of our dogs as puppies so I understand the adorable puppy moments, as well as the moments where puppies can be extra work. I've owned dogs into their senior years and how there can be limitation considerations and potentially and care required for health needs that come with age. I'm currently working part-time and manage a small business with my husband. Both are relatively flexible, especially if planned more than 1 week prior. Generally afternoons (after 1pm) are flexible. With advance planning, I can be available earlier in the day too. I can visit your home to care for your pets. If you have dogs and want me to provide exercise (walk or backyard play session), I can do so based on your preference. If you would like, I can also check on things inside such as water/food, or any other requested services (that I am able to provide).

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 when I got my first dog. I currently have two cats and would love a dog but my schedule won't provide me enough time to take proper care of one. I am great with training puppies and giving medications. I’m currently a Preschool Intervention Specialist and have my own special education preschool classroom through Lima City Schools. I currently teach August-May. My availability mainly opens up during the summer but love to help out during the school year around my teaching contract. I look forward to working with you! I am currently off for the summer so I can attend to pet care as much or as little as you need. During the school year as long as your schedule works around my teaching contract, I will be able to help you out as much as I can! I have plenty of experience with small, medium, and big dogs. I would prefer to come to you but in the need to have your pet at my house, I am able to crate dogs as needed at my home as my house has an extra room. Plus my cats are very friendly or just stay to themselves so your animals will be in great care.

About: Hey Pet Parents! My name is Juliana and I hold a lot of significant experience in caring for pets! First off, I am a full time student at Ohio Northern University where I currently am apart of the Polar Paws program as a Secondary Trainer. This program allows college students to care for and train future service dogs. As a secondary trainer, I would work with various dogs on campus by training and sitting them while their primary caretaker is busy. Prior to university, I volunteered at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked with cats and dogs of all ages and all breeds. This consisted of walking the dogs, cleaning cages, cleaning litter boxes, playing with the animals, etc. Currently I am available anytime during the day and anytime of the week, until I update my availability when I need to go back to campus. I care for pets as if they are children. They need attention, respect, and when being babysat, a good time! That being said, in my own home they have access to their own food, water, play area, and have set potty breaks. In a clients home, the same will apply. Any alternative toys, medications, and food can be used most definitely if requested by client. Always a clean and tidy environment before and after.

About: I have had pets in my home my whole life And my friends and family have always relied on me to care for their animals.I am an animal advocate! I am not working anywhere else at this time so I have a pretty free schedule. I am willing to care for any animal all hours a day I have a half an acre fenced in yard for dogs to run. With an actual dog run. I also have a separate kennel if needed.

About: I’ve always loved animals! I can keep them if needed or come to your place of residence to walk and care for or to just play with, I have 5 pets of my own if I could have more I would haha, I’ve always had an animal for as long as I can remember, Iv taken care of quite a bit of animals most were rescued, I nursed them back to health and found new homes for them. At one point in time I took care of 7 new born kittens after they were thrown out and abandoned from their mother, I used to live on a farm and took care of farm animals from sun up till sun down, and now I have so much free time I don’t know what to do with it haha

“I did make it home! Thanks so far everything looks great. Did you however have somebody who was roughly 3 foot and a half? Lots of handprints everywhere on the windows no worries it’s kind of endearing. I got the mail. I think you may have forgotten it. No worries there either it wasn’t overflowing. Thank goodness we don’t get nearly the mail we used to, but maybe in the future pay attention. Thanks. I really appreciate it and I guess you’ll be coming back on Wednesday? Or Thursday I can’t remember I have to ask my hubby. Thanks, Kaitlin!”
