Cat Sitting in Excelsior

“Celestia was amazing! She took fantastic care of my pets and gave updates and photo updates every visit. Booking with her gave me peace of mind while I was out of town and I will be booking with her again anytime I need a sitter for my two kitties. You will not be disappointed!”

“Diana was amazing! She took amazing care of my kitty man, including feeding him and giving him medication. She also was great about keeping my posted about his behavior and sending me photos. So grateful ☺️✨”

“We were so happy to have Jasmine! We were gone for the holidays and she made sure to keep our cats very happy while we were away. With lots of photos each day and the little updates she sent, we felt very secure in being away from the house. She did a great job :)”

About: I have cared for animals for over 10 years on my own, which included letting them out taking them on walks, feeding them cleaning up outside bathing them. I also volunteer at shelters to help care for their animals. I have an extra few hours in my day, which allows me to have time to care for others when needed because I know how difficult it is to find a sitter while going away I would care for them just as I do my own with love respect and I would follow their routine and what they do for their pet so they feel comfortable while they are gone

About: I have 25 years experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, needs, and ages. We live in a single family home with a large fenced in yard. Animals will receive the same care that I would expect for mine and be treated as members of the family. We have a large, fenced in, backyard and plenty of in and outdoor fun for your pup. They will be well attended to, and receive love and care from not just myself, but all members of the family. They are permitted on the furniture, in bed with us and to be where we are at anytime. There are beds and blankets in every room for their comfort. I am home full time so there is nearly always someone here with the pups and they are cared for and loved by all members of the family. Dogs can be fed up to 4x/day. There are cats in the household (they usually confine themselves to their basement palace,) children ages 2-9 all whom are extremely good with animals. We are a happy, hopping home, but able to provide quiet time and space for dogs who are easily overwhelmed. Your dogs will be well entertained with cuddles, plenty of time outside, games, love and toys galore. Dogs are not generally taken on walks around the neighborhood, unless requested, but do receive plenty of indoor and outdoor playtime with us (fetch, frisbee, etc) for physical and mental stimulation. If we do plan on going for a nice walk or a hike, the pups will accompany us. Single overnight booking includes 24 hours of care (e.g. 1p Sat-1p Sun, or any combo of 24 hours) with a total of 3 hours of leeway given. If you will be expecting the stay to be more than 24 hours (27 with leeway) please note in your message or book as one overnight and one day care (e.g. 10am Sat-7p Sun.) Walks and more are available as add on services. Add on service rates and info is sent upon booking or by request prior to booking, as Rover, unfortunately, does not have a spot for us to offer these and book it with the stay. All pet parents receive text and photo updates, unless not desired. We take safety very seriously: -All dogs are fed separately -Water is always available indoors and out. -House is kept dog proof from dangerous items the dogs could chew or eat. -Someone is always outside with the guest dog. -Exposure and indoor climate are limited, or adjusted, based on the dog's tolerance. -I am well educated in pet first aid and am also a human nurse -I have many years of dog training experience, including my own service dog. -In the extremely unlikely event that a dog would escape, all guest pups wear a bright orange collar stating that they are a guest in an unfamiliar area and our phone number, along with their normal collar and tags. -For the escape artist, again, in the very unlikely event they would become separated from us, they wear a very efficient gps tag to allow for a very rapid recovery. Escape artists are also attached to a 100 foot long lead while in the yard just as a safety precaution (our yard is well fenced but a very crafty dog could possibly find a way out). Your dog is our priority and his love and care is our passion. Please ask if you have any other questions. We work from home and someone is here 90% of the time. We can tailor our schedule to your specifications or as your pet needs. I have a large fenced in yard (currently the main fencing is damaged and shorter fencing of 3.5 feet in height is filling in the gaps. We can put your dog on a long lead to be able to roam a bit or take outside on leash only if the short fencing will not be adequate to contain your dog.) Someone is always outside with your dog to ensure their safety. We have gates and cat doors to separate animals if the need should arise or during feeding time for your dog and ours.) Our black lab is extremely submissive and playful and will keep your dogs entertained as long as they want to play. She will leave them alone if they do not. Our youngest child, though very good with animals, is never left alone with the guest dog(s).

“Lex is amazing! She was super communicative and kind. The pups loved her. I would highly recommend her!”

I have taken care of rescues and strays as well as animals of various ages and sizes. I also live and active lifestyle & can take your furbabies on the best adventures! I take care of my pets on the daily from feeding and walking to scheduling vet visits. I have special free time set aside for new furry friends to meet as well! I have a huge respect for personal space and the care of furry family. I am able to meet and care for animals in any location as well as provide specialty care (i.e. medicine or special treats)

About: I grew up with cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I lived on a farm for years with cows, chickens, turkeys, and quail! Big or small, scaley or fluffy, I love all animals and will give them the respect and care they need. 150lb newfy who wants head pats and to drool on me? Absolutely! 6lb 20 year old cat who wants to yell at me and avoid eye contact? Say less. I've dealt with epileptic dogs, bladder stones in cats, and even beakless chickens. I'm up for any challenge! As someone lucky enough to work from home, I can position my job around your pet schedule. Weather I bring my laptop and snuggle up with your pup for the afternoon, take lunch and take a walk with your pooch, or stop in in the evening after my shift to give your cat head kisses. I'm flexible and willing to work with you. Whatever your pets need, I'm your gal. I had 6 dogs growing up and like to think I know how to read them. Your pets safety and your trust in me are my top priority. As an overbearing cat mom, I know just how important your pets are to your family.

About: I've had my own dog for 11 years and I've pet sat for many friends/family. No dog is too big or too small. I have no issue with particular instructions, and will follow any rules you have in place for your dog I work full time on 1st shift, Monday to Friday, so I will be available evenings. On Saturday and Sunday, I will be available all day/night! I have a fenced yard and two dogs at my home. Most likely, our dogs will be separated at all times, even though mine are friendly. I would rather stay on the safe side. But I will treat your animal as my own while in my care. Giving them all the attention, love, and time they need while you're away.

“Lisa was great with our puppies for a few drop-in visits while we were out of town for the day. She kept in contact when she was at our house and provided updates with how the puppies were doing along with some pictures. We got back late, so she even checked the next morning to make sure they were okay when we got home which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Lisa for all of your dog sitting needs! Thank you so much, Lisa!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember having grown up with dogs in my home since age 5. I have experience with large dogs such as husky/shepherd mixes and small dogs such as teacup yorkies.

“Kathleen was a great sitter for my cat. She checked in regularly and let me know how my cat was fairing. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”

“Megan is amazing. I set her up to care for my mom’s dogs after she had surgery for a broken ankle and was non-weight bearing. Megan was available last second, went to the house 4 times a day like clockwork, and took such wonderful, loving care of Louis and Brie. And was so very sweet to my mom. I had such peace of mind knowing that the dogs were cared for and safe and my mom could rest and start to heal without worry for them. If you are in need of pet sitting services in her area, PLEASE contact Megan. She’s a godsend and will not disappoint. I would hire her again in a second, and as I’m a veterinarian, I’m very picky with my family’s animals and know what great care looks like. Thank you so much, Megan!!”

“Natalie has been such a saving grace to me and my pup! I’m a travel nurse in the area who works long shifts and Natalie was available during the odd hours I needed to watch my dog, even some days she wasn’t available she helped me figure out care for my dog still. A great sitter!”

Beth C.

“Nicole was the most conscientious pet sitter ever. She went above and beyond what was expected. Made my bunny so happy I don’t think she even missed us!! 🩷”

About: I have had extensive experience in pet sitting, providing a loving and reliable service for pet owners who entrust me with the care of their furry companions. Throughout my journey, I have had the pleasure of caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, arachnids, and small mammals. My passion for pet sitting began when I realized the significant need for trustworthy and compassionate individuals to look after people's pets while they were away. As a pet owner myself, I understand the worries and concerns that can arise when leaving your beloved animal in someone else's care. With this understanding, I strive to provide not only excellent pet care but also peace of mind for pet owners. During my pet sitting assignments, I prioritize building a strong bond with each pet by spending quality time with them and understanding their unique needs and preferences. I firmly believe that consistent communication and reassurance are key elements in ensuring a pet's well-being. I am currently looking to petsit full-time and only have two semi-regular clients. So I have pretty open availability and I offer overnights as well! I do petsitting at your place. I offer anywhere from 30 min drop ins to a few hour stays and some occasional overnights. Feeding, lots of loves and cleaning up after.

About: I have had pets all my life! Cats and dogs! I currently have two labs. I am comfortable of taking care of dogs of any age or size. One of my dogs is currently on medication so I’m comfortable with giving dogs medication if needed! I work a full time job and have my two girls to take care of. I would be able to take care of your pets before and after work or on the weekends if I have availability! I will not be taking care of pets in my home at this time due to having two dogs of my own. Sorry for the inconvenience.

“Marián has been so great with Charlie. She is timely, sends updates, and makes sure everything is the way it was left. I appreciate her services and will be using her again! 10/10 experience!”
