Cat Sitting in Elmira

“Abby dropped in to my home twice a week in September to take care of my black lab pup while I was at work. She brought her pup Julia too. The pictures she’d send of them playing was priceless and showed a great time had by all!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as memory serves. My family always had at least one dog and a cat or two. Since we lived out in the country, we always managed to take in strays (and by strays I mean the ones I usually brought home). I volunteered at a local shelter in high school where I got more experience with elderly dogs. Since then, I’ve continued to pet sit for friends and family. As an animal lover living in one of the many non pet-friendly apartments in Bozeman, this is how I get my fix. I currently work for myself and make my own work schedule so I try to stay flexible. I am usually available to drop in and check in them or if I’m pet sitting in their own home, will make it a priority to be there most of the time. Caring for your babies in their own home environment is super important. I can make myself available to be around as much as I’m needed while you are away. I like to take detailed notes of how you prefer to care for your pets and stick to their schedule as much as possible.

About: Hello, my name is Maya and I would be happy to help you with any pet needs you may have. I’ve pet sat in a wide range of settings as well as looked after many different breeds. I enjoy spending time with animals and being out in nature and I consider this arrangement to be less work and more fun. That being said, I understand the responsibility it takes to look after someone else’s pet and take great care in keeping you pets safe and happy. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! :) I’m a self employed creative and have a very flexible schedule. I do work many side jobs so it is best to let me know a couple days to a week ahead of time. I cannot provide home services at this time unfortunately. My landlord won’t permit pets at my place. I would happily dog or cat sit at your home.

“I can’t say enough good things about Lucille! She communicated consistently and kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put me at ease. Even when my sassy kitty decided to give her a little love bite, she handled it with such professionalism and understanding. It’s clear she truly cares about animals and their unique personalities. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”

About: Hi! My name is Lindsay and I’d love to help you out with whatever you may need. I grew up with cats and dogs in the Midwest. My dog is a 4 year old female Pointer with some energy, so I am always making sure that walks and exercise are given. My house has a fenced in yard perfect for your dog! I can help dog with basic commands, reinforcement and socialization if you would like that for your dog. If you need your pup exhausted when you get home I can more than likely help out with that as well. Feel free to contact me and ask questions I am an open book and would love to help you and your animals out. My dog is social and requires exercise so I ensure that others get the same if needed each day. I do work during the day but spend all afternoon having fun! I have a nice sized house and fenced in yard for your fur baby. My dog loves cats as well so if you wanted your cat watched you wouldn’t have to worry. I would bring my dog for house sitting if you the owner are ok with that. Your pet will be loved for sure!

About: I have 2 years of dog walking experience while attending college! I am patient and willing to go for longer walks as well. I love getting outside and what better way to do it than walking a dog! I am a nanny and I usually have a couple days off per week. Dog walking fits into my weekly schedule and is a great way to stay active! I am very active and I will be able to walk your dog for how ever long is needed. I am also patient and I am able to walk dogs that prefer to take breaks or wander while walking.

About: Being raised on a ranch, I know the responsibility and love that our animals take! I’m here to give them the care they deserve and need. I’m a dog bather and currently in school to become a certified dog groomer. Animals are my passion, and they deserve love and care & I am here to provide that to your pets! I have a fenced yard, but prefer to come to your home! We can always discuss more in detail! I’m happy to accommodate if needed.

“Hallie is a gem! For nearly two weeks, she cared for our elderly cat who is uncomfortable with change and is a persnickety eater. Hallie had a calm and intuitive understanding of Smudge’s needs and adjusted accordingly ... and kept us well-informed. Hallie sat with her daily and talked with her and played her favorite Alexa cat music :) Hallie provided excellent care; I would absolutely recommend her.”

About: I've always been the to go-to animal sitter for my friends & family, they know how much I adore & love animals. I will always love and care for them as if they are my own.

About: * My farm sitting rate is $60/night Hi! My name is Joy. My Life's passion is caring for animals, I am happiest to just be with them! I have 11 years experience of pet care, working on a farm with a variety of animals; dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, jersey cows,Angus cattle,horses,sheep, goats,pigs,pot belly pigs,chickens,chicks,ducks, rabbits, bunnies,Emu,zebras...You name it, I've probably taken care of it! I've had my pet sitting side gig for 3-4 years now. I am 30, I have yet to meet someone who doesn't call me sweet, and I think old people are the cutest thing ever, aside from puppies & kittens, of coarse. My desire someday is to work in a wildlife rescue, zoo, or/and own my own property to create a hobby farm/mixed animal boarding facility with fenced acreage for dogs and other animals to run around on and play. Thank you for considering me to watch your fur babies! Have a furbulous day ;) I am currently in between jobs, so but will be going to a regular 9-5. Other than my work schedule, your pets will get thevrest of my time. I will make sure to spend enough time in the mornings caring for your pets, taking them out, spending time with them, going for a walk or playing or cuddling before I have to go. I will come home right after work, let dogs out, and make sure to feed the animals and let them out one more time before bed! I am very flexible to spend most if not all my available time with your pets. I'll play with them either in their yard or in the house. I like to give them treats. I usually will give the dogs a bath and brushing at the end of the sit, depending if they are comfortable enough with me or not.

“Julie was so good at communicating her visits with our cats. She sent me pictures and let me know how they were doing. While we were away, North Idaho experienced "4th Winter" and the temp inside the house dropped a bit low, so she let me know and worked with me to get the pellet stove going to warm up the place. She did everything as expected plus a little extra. I'm so appreciative of the care she showed my kitties.”

About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was 13, from farm animals to dogs and cats. Many neighbors, family friends and colleagues have trusted me to do quick visits, daytime walks, nightly check ins and even monthly stays. I have experience that varies from training the young ones, to giving the elders lots of love, attention and even medications when needed. I am also very willing to do baths if/when needed! I currently have a part-time job that starts at 6 and ends at 12 Monday and Tuesday, so I would have plenty of time to do any afternoon visits and even weekly stays. I am very flexible and can work around the perfect schedule with you! I am very accommodating when it comes to your fur babies needs. If I’m staying in your home, I will take all animals outside every 2-3 hours to play or go on walks. If stated in instructions, I can also take dogs to a dog park or on car rides when I go to the store. If there is a certain route for walks to take, I will also do that. Anything you’d like, I can do!

About: HIGHLIGHTS: • All breeds welcome. • Private boarding - I host only one dog family at a time, apart from Wednesday when I offer daycare services. • 24/7 companionship. Never left alone & by my side all day. • Fenced-in yard time once every hour. • No kids or visitors in the house during the stay. • My house is located on a private dirt road and the driveway is a quarter of a mile long. • Secure fenced-in yard, the rest of the property includes 12 acres of woods and trails directly behind the house, 3 acres of lake, and an additional 5 acres of land across the lake. • Available 24/7 for drop off/pickup, even late night or early morning hours. For over 15 years, I have dedicated myself to the care of dogs, ranging from puppies to seniors. Throughout this time, I have not only provided care but also rescued numerous dogs and other animals. My experience has equipped me with a good deal of knowledge in animal care and health, enabling me to handle various challenges such as medical issues, anxiety, behavioral/aggressive tendencies, training, and more. I understand that each dog is unique, with their own distinct personality and specific needs. However, I have honed my skills in providing specialized care and readily welcome pet parents who may be concerned about boarding their pups due to certain behaviors. Caring for dogs is not always a walk in the park, but I approach it with unwavering love, passion, and commitment. I have dedicated countless days and nights to tending to dogs with diverse challenges and rescuing surrendered/abused animals, providing round-the-clock care. Providing such dedicated care requires substantial effort, but the joy it brings me is immeasurable. I am willing to do everything necessary to ensure that your dog receives the treatment it deserves and is accustomed to. Why choose me? I take animal care seriously and, as it is my full-time commitment your beloved pooches will be under full supervision while under my roof and be given the best care possible. I differentiate myself drastically from other pet caregivers on Rover, Number One because animal care is my full-time profession. I have dedicated my entire life to caring for animals. Moreover, I have one of the largest, safest, and most enjoyable properties for your canines to vacation. Separating from a pet owner can be a stressful experience for pets and their owners. Your pups are warmly welcomed into my home, and I will take care of them exactly per your wishes. About me I am originally from Roanoke, Virginia. My husband Paul and I moved to South Lyon, Michigan from Charlotte, North Carolina. After settling down in Michigan and acquiring our property, I was able to start my career in animal rescue and care. I consider myself a responsible, trustworthy, and forward-thinking individual who takes great pride in what I do, that is, taking care of animals. I am incredibly flexible with my schedule. My day typically starts at 6 AM, and I am available for drop-offs and pick-ups around the clock - 24/7. I understand that there may be instances where you require assistance during late hours, and I am fully committed to being flexible in such situations. Flexibility is of utmost importance to me, as I strive to provide a level of service that surpasses other pet sitters who may have other full-time obligations. Ensuring home security: • My household consists of my husband and I, no kids, and 50 chickens. • I have established connections with four veterinarians in the area who are located very close to my place. Two of them offer urgent care services for pets 24/7. • Our home is equipped with a surveillance system, providing security for your peace of mind. All areas are under surveillance and we do not allow hunting. • For pet owners concerned about their escape artist attempts, I have taken extra precautions. Whenever I leave the house to do errands around the property, your dog will be safely secured behind another door in the main cabin. • I never allow any dog under my care to roam freely on my property, even if I am told that they will not run off. There is always a chance that an animal may react unexpectedly when confronted by wildlife. • Our home is situated far away from the road, and we have no visitors or unknown individuals during your dogs stay. • To ensure the safety of our visitors, we conduct regular tests to maintain safe lake water conditions. Additionally, we take care to prevent the growth of algae. • If your dog enjoys catching fish or swimming, they will have a great time. I have caught up to 15lb bass and Sebastian frequently catches as well… • I have 50 chickens; I understand some may be worried about their dogs’ interaction with the chickens. There will be no interaction with the chickens. My chickens stay far away and enjoy free roaming so most of the time they are out of sight on other parts of the property.

About: I’ve taken care of and raised animals such as dogs and cats my whole life and currently have a Great Pyrenees myself. I’ve always owned several cats (all inside). I love to take dogs on walks and have watched many of my friends and families animals for short and long periods of time. I do not currently have a job and am fully open and available during any time of the week and I am also available on weekends. If needed to bring an animal to my home, I have a large yard and a Great Pyrenees myself. I have crates of my own and fences structures on my property.
