Cat Sitting in Essexville

“I was so relieved that Laura was able to check on our kitties while we were gone. I can trust her and just know how much she cares about them. She is the best!! Thank you!!!!”

“Ashley was incredible! The updates and pictures she sent were super helpful. But more importantly her and Leia got along very well. I would absolutely recommend her and look forward to working with her again!”

“My cat Mavis had a great time and was well cared for. I will definitely use Burgandy again in the future when I need someone to watch my cat.”

“Very pleased with Megan’s care. She took great care of Duchess and kept everything clean and in order. Thank you!”

“Brenna and Sawyer are amazing!! They took such good care of our kitty and dog! They were on time everyday and were so good with our dog and cat!!”

“My dog, Kelso has issues. He is a 70lbs, Pitt mix who came from a bad situation. Kelso doesn’t warm up to new people easily. I was shocked that he liked Marlena right away. He even gave her kisses. Marlena is relaxed,responsible, and really cares about my dog. Kelso was not even close to behaving and Marlena took it in stride. I am so grateful that we found her! We are going on a 4-day trip and I am comfortable with her ability to care for Kelso and the house while we are away!”

“Rachael has cared for our two cats several times over the past two years. She treats them like her own, plays with them, and spends time with them. She always sends picture updates, which I love. She's an animal lover, and I absolutely trust her with my pets.”

“Lauren was thorough, communicative and attentive to my girls. Lots of pictures and texts throughout the day. Thanks Lauren!”

“Nikki did a great job watching my dog so I could go get my hair done. She has a very calm demeanor about her when it comes to dogs and that’s exactly what my dog needed. I would recommend Nikki!”

“Shadow and his family give Merissa five out of five paws! If you are looking for someone to spend less than two minutes with your pet, Merissa may not be the person for you. She stopped by roughly 30 minutes during each visit and made sure that Shadow wasn't lonely while we were on vacation. She sent multiple pictures to us every time she stopped over, even if he wasn't interested in having his picture taken. Most importantly to us, she didn't give up on him. The first couple days, he was somewhat apprehensive with someone new looking after him -- he didn't want to eat much or play (which is unlike him). On Day 3, Merissa was able to finally get him out of his funk and act like his playful self (as supported by pictures). Someone else may have just decided to not put in the effort and let our sleepy dog lie, but that wasn't the case with her! So, by all means, don't pick Merissa unless your pet is ready to have someone play with him or her while you are gone. If you want your pet to feel lonely, don't pick her, because she will make sure that your pet gets a lot of attention. And definitely don't pick her, if your pet is camera shy, because you will never have to wonder for too long how your pet is doing. However, if you want to make sure that your pet is cared for while you are away, you should consider booking her right away. Again, Shadow rates her five out of five paws and that is what really matters!”

About: I've looked after my own pets for many years, kittens to senior cats. My family has relied on me to check in on their dogs and cats while out of town. I have experience with senior animals and puppies/kittens, as well as larger breeds and bully breeds. I enjoy taking animals on walks and am able to meet their needs as required. I'm available in the evenings after 5pm during the weekday, and at most times during the weekends. I work full time and am a graduate student as well. I am fully capable of following and respecting all tasks and guidelines set up for your home and your pet to ensure their comfort and safety while in my care.

“Absolutely fantastic. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Megan again.”

“Crymson took care of our elderly cat this weekend, which included dropping in twice a day to give her oral medication. I'm quite pleased that all was well when we returned home and our cat was very well taken care of. We've already sent a request for our next booking! It's a relief to be able to leave town and know that our kitty is in good hands.”

“Summer is amazing. She was very responsive and kept me updated with each visit. She made sure they got medicine needed and spent a little time with them each day. My cats are very shy with new people but they quickly warmed up to her. She was a pleasure to work with and I'll definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Kodi was great with Monet, I would happily rebook her to watch him again.”

About: I am a huge pet lover! I have 4 cats of all ages & 3 chinchillas.. I take pride in giving a high quality- specific to the cat diet. I am consistently providing all types of enrichment for them & I love being creative in that. My chinchillas require a lot of enrichment & a very specific diet. I enjoy changing their cage layout & receiving love from them. Ages of cats are: 13, 6, 6 & 4. The chinchillas are nearing 4, 5 & 6. My cats are always kept up to date on their vetting & my chinchillas may see their exotic as needed. I have experience with: cats, dogs of all sizes, Guinea pigs, freshwater fish, an assortment of lizards including bearded dragons, rats, chinchillas, hamsters, mice, frogs, & a small amount of experience with bunnies. I am so very eager to always learn more. I enjoy sitting for people with strict routines because I have a routine to follow. I also enjoy laidback pet sitting as then I can get creative within reason to dream up some enrichment for the pets while I am visiting. I also have been doing cat rescue for almost 6 years now & am quite experienced. I am deemed the pet lover in my friend & family circles & am often the go to for pet sitting if I am able. I absolutely love meeting other pets & getting to know their boundaries, preferences & quirks! Taking care of my pets is a huge part of my life that I wouldn’t give up for anything. I believe they enrich our lives more than we do theirs. I work full time salaried from home, Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm. However; the only days I truly find myself busy are Tuesdays and Saturdays at times. Unless I am on travel (it is only mon-Fri), I usually have 6 hours or more of free time during that working period. There should be no problem coordinating dedicated time to your pet(s) as needed. All of my pets are fully indoor. Two of my chinchillas are in their double CN cage where cats can see them, but do not interact with. My other chinchilla is in single tiered ferret nation cage. I am an advocate for keeping pets indoors & problem solving solutions for pets who may want a partially outdoor experience. Example: harness training your cat while keeping them on preventatives & consulting your vet first. My cats have a timed feeding with a diet specific to that cat, twice a day. My chinchillas have a once a day feeding including their pellets, fresh hay & access to water at all times; they require a dust bath every 2-3 days. The cats get approximately 15 minutes of exercise 2x a day & lots of opportunities for cuddling or one on one time as wanted. I routinely trim their nails, clean their ears & bathe every 6-12 months as needed.

“Lola was a great caregiver for our 3 unpredictable cats. She responds quickly and followed up promptly to any questions. We will be glad to have her come back another time.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Justin as a pet sitter! From the moment he met my cat, Cooper, it was evident that he has a natural talent for understanding and connecting with animals. It's no surprise that cats absolutely adore him! One of the aspects that make Justin stand out as an exceptional pet sitter is his intuitive ability to pick up on animal behavior. When it came to Cooper's nervous habits, Justin effortlessly identified them and knew exactly how to help her feel at ease. He was patient and gentle, gradually earning her trust through his compassionate approach. It's rare to find a pet sitter with such expertise and kindness, and I wholeheartedly recommend Justin without hesitation. Not only will your pets be in safe and competent hands, but they will also undoubtedly fall in love with him too!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I also trained my parents dogs. I enjoy taking care of your animals while you go on vacation or need someone to watch them for a day. I will make sure they get the attention while you're gone. I will also send you photos of your fur babies while you're having fun on your vacation. I know it can be quite nerve wracking to let someone else look after your pets, when they become family to you. I am always willing to do meet and greets prior to the time you need me, to make you and your animals feel more comfortable. I do live near a dog park, if approved by dog owner to take them there.

“Another awesome session with Justin! Gunner absolutely loves him and gets so excited when he spends time with Justin!”
