Cat Sitting in Elkton

“Jessica was amazing with my kitty over Christmas. She communicated daily, sent pictures, and gave my kitty lots of treats, cuddles, and love. My kitty and house was well-cared for when I arrived home. She went above and beyond, bringing extra food when my kitty got low on wet food. I cannot recommend Jessica enough and will be my #1 choice when I need a sitter in the future.”

About: I grew up in a retirement community, walking dogs for friendly neighbors—it wasn’t just about the steps, it was about connection. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all shapes and personalities (yes, even the occasional rogue ferret). Now, our home buzzes with two lovable goofballs—a Dutch Shepherd and a Rottweiler mix—and I co-trained my wife’s service dogs, so I know firsthand the patience and dedication it takes. My approach? Simple respect. I don’t use force or fear—just calm communication, consistency, and a few strategic belly rubs. Every dog deserves to feel safe and understood; that’s a philosophy I bring to every walk, visit, or boarding stay. Life is unpredictable—work trips, busy schedules, or just needing an extra hand. I offer reliable, judgment-free care for every furry family member, no matter their size or quirks. Trust isn’t earned —it’s built, and I’d love to build that with you. My time is primarily spent taking care of my disabled wife and our son. My schedule revolves around my wifes medical appointments and needs. I'm very good at scheduling and meeting appointments so long as they aren't an immediate request. I have raised dogs from pups to our current senior dog. Staying on top of their health and well-being is important. Dogs have needs and deserve to be treated fair and with consideration.

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages and size. I also have pet sat for cats, fish, goats (I have experience milking and bottle feeding!) ponies, mini pigs, chickens and ducks. I am self employed so if notified in the morning I can accommodate easily same day. (Weather permitted. As heat plays a huge roll right now.) I take into account owner's and pet's needs when sitting or walking. Pets have their routines and I want them to feel as comfortable as possible while they're in my care.

“Prompt and communicative!”

About: I've had pets in the home since age 1, and have been helping to take care of them since I could walk. I've always loved animals, and began volunteering at animal shelters, walking, bathing, and feeding shelter dogs beginning at age 5. I have worked in the field of veterinary medicine since 2023, and have a working knowledge of many medical and behavioral issues. I am comfortable caring for cats and dogs of any size, administering medications, walking reactive dogs, and more. I am also trained in canine CPR and first aid, in case of emergencies. I'm currently working from home, with the ability to bring my work on the road, so I have the flexibility to accommodate the needs of each individual fur family! I currently provide services in the client's home only. I will ask for a rundown of of your pet's daily feeding/walking/play schedule, and do my best to make your fur baby feel at ease while under my care with lots of playtime, cuddles and love; and maintaining their usual routine while you're away!

“We are so thankful to have found Shallise. She did a great job taking care of our kitty while we were out of town. Our kitty doesn’t take to new people quickly but Shallise was very good with him and he was comfortable with her right away. She obviously takes her responsibility to her clients seriously. She responds to messages quickly and is flexible and creative in getting needs met. I completely trust her in our home with our kitties. She did an awesome job.”

About: For me taking care of animals isn't a just job, it's a hobby! I am animal-obsessed! I grew up with animals all around me of all kinds. As an adult, my work prevents me from owning an animal because I believe in devoting lots of time to let’s! This is why I love sitting. Luckily right now I am in between jobs and mostly working from home so I have tons of free time to spend with your furry family member. I have volunteered at vet clinics, animal shelters and even exotic animal sanctuaries. I have been taking care of dogs and cats most of my adult life, from a few days to even a few months. I am very attentive and make sure the animal gets lots of exercise, food, water, and love. Besides specific instructions, a typical day sitting for me would be two walks a day, for a least 30 minutes to an hour. I try to spend as much time as I can with your pet, including outings, dog parks, beach trips, car rides, play time, or just hanging with them in the home. And of course, I take tons of videos and pictures so you have proof your baby is in good hands. :) I am looking for a job right now so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I have VERY flexible hours. Currently I am only doing housesitting. So I am with your pets night and day. I spent the night and make sure to give your fur family as much attention as you do or more!

About: I am an animal lover with many years of experience with cat and dog care. I have had rescue dogs and dealt with difficult breeds, large and small. I am comfortable with any animal with any temperament. I have experience with gentle training techniques and can support you in any effort regarding your animal's behavior if needed. I am always concerned with the utmost care of an animal and their safety and experience. I know every dog or cat is unique and have their own needs and am happy to accommodate them and you both feel safe and confident while your animal is in my care. I can provide excellent care to any animal. I have experience with whole food diets, and I can even do acupressure!

“Hannah was very communicative and attentive. We felt great knowing she was taking care of our cats and she was happy to bring in the mail and keep our plants watered while we were away. We'll be booking her again, for sure!”

About: I love all animals large and small . Hobby and helping others is what I want to do !!my kids are animal lovers too. We would love and enjoy tking care if others pets and getting to know other animals. I have grown up around animals from a very small age in the country. I would like my kids to have the same experience with animals as I have had and much much more. We are a very active family and love to go for hikes, jogs, swimming sessions and other places to visit and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. We would love to see any size and shape for animals makes for a challenge to experience every day and relax in the moment to see how others live.

About: I've always been in a household that has had at least one dog growing up in California to my travels here to Oregon 9 years ago where I fell in love with the state and made a home here. I have had goldens and labs, and have taken care of a wide variety of sizes and shapes of pups, from the smallest pup to the sweet yet slobbery Mastiff. I currently have one dog who is my boyfriend's service dog, she is a 4 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever that is the calmest dog until you get her football out! Then the play never stops. Since she cannot go to work with him anymore, she would not mind a buddy to play with. We constantly take her for walks and runs and swims. Very dog friendly house I have afternoons open and available and almost every weekend! I love getting out and walking dogs around the neighborhood or taking them to a park I have a fenced in yard for Cammie or any dog to run around, go outside to take care of their needs, or chase a bird or squirrel! The high school field is right down the block that we can go to any time

About: Ever since I was a baby, I have had a minimum of three pets in the house. As of right now, my family has three dogs, two cats, two goats, five ducks, and will be getting two little lambs to join our family in this coming month! I adore animals and love to just hang out and provide some love to them. I am 100% what you would call an animal person and I know how to care and support your pets. I’m at home right now after just finishing up my first year of college, and as I’m continuing to be a full time (online) student, I’m looking for a way where I can still make money but not be drowning in work. On top of that, I think being payed to hang out and love pets is one of the best jobs I could ever get :) I make sure that pets are safe and cared for at all times. As someone who loves animals, my top priority is making sure pets aren’t stressed out or scared in their environment. I would make sure that the home is loving and structured to make the pets comfortable.

About: I have been caring for my own pets for seven years, as well as helping others with their pets. I have three very well behaved dogs of my own! I really enjoy going for walks so bringing a new friend would be awesome! I am a full time student at UCC, and work part time at planet fitness on the weekends. I am almost always available in the evening. I provide my pets with the food and water they need, bathe and groom them regularly, go on walks and to the dog park and they are maintained with their vaccinations. I love animals very much so I also give them lots of love!

“Renee was wonderfully with our 2 dogs.”

“Nicole is an excellent pet sitter! From the moment we first met her, we knew we trusted her. More importantly our dogs did as well. Nicole sent regular updates and photos which helped us to relax more while away. We could tell she really connected with our dogs and truly enjoyed caring for them. We highly recommend Nicole and hope we get the opportunity for her to watch Tilly & Pippa again!”

About: I have 3 medium breed dogs(a lab, 2 collies). I love dogs and would love to take care of yours! I can visit in the mornings or later evenings. I’m avaiable most weekends during the day. On weekdays, I will be available during the morning hours before 11pm. If you would like me to pet sit, I’m avilable overnight to stay or visit mutilple times a day. I’ve been dog sitting and an owner for over 5 years. I have experience with older dog care and will be willing to take care of dogs with special needs and dietary issues. big breeds and multiple dogs are welcome. I will be willing to provide treats and toys for dogs in my care. I live out in the country so I have tons of free time to spend with my animals in a calm and relaxing environment and we do our best to soak up the sun this summer. I really enjoy meeting new animals and I plan on treating them like my own fur babies I have at home! Treats, attention, and play time!

About: Growing up in a loving home filled with all kind of animals helped me become the person I am now. Pets are our children and should always be cared for and loved. I currently work part time and would like to add more activities in my day to day life. Pet care is extremely important. On days off I do like to go on small beach hikes or have a day in which work perfect. I have 2 fur babies that are loved immensely and extremely sweet. My 9 year old Pitbull has been around extremely high energy puppies/dogs and although he wants to keep up he spends most times taking a nap in the back yard. I also have a 10 year old tabby cat who also spends most of the day sleeping but becomes very excited when it’s time for his meals. I have both a back and front yard…they are not fenced in and have not had any issues this far. Although I know my babies will not run I would not run the risk of that happening to yours. I promise before stepping out side your babies will be securely by my side the entire time. My husband also loves going on hikes and is a sucker for playing fetch.

About: I have been a lover of animals my entire life. When I was a child I wanted to be a veterinarian and the first chapter book I remember reading was James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small. You would be hard pressed to find a childhood photo of me without a critter of some sort. Also as a weird little kid, I would hold funerals for the flies who had passed on in the window seals (an over abundance of empathy is probably my strongest albeit sometimes annoying trait 😂)! Animals make this world a beautiful place and I promise to show your babies the care and love the deserve. I am available evenings for drop ins and because I work in schools, I am available most holiday breaks for longer periods to care for your pets. I have a sweet Siamese boy at home who unfortunately doesn’t appreciate other animals as much as I do, so I would most likely not be providing care for other pets in my home.

About: Hello my name is Brenden, I have have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I am open to caring for any breed of any description and any instructions accompanied with I will be sure to follow with the utmost care.

I currently have a very flexible schedule, though I am unable to board your pet I am more than willing to stay with them while you’re away, go on daily walks, play, and meet any additional needs that your pet may have. I am always very careful in terms of safety and security of the home and during walks, I always maintain an open line of communication for any questions, updates or concerns you may have.
