Cat Sitting Fair Grove

About: I am a dependable and loving pet owner who treats every pet like family. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have always loved animals, growing up I've had cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, ferrets.. I’m open to loving all kinds. I currently spoil my three cats and my two dogs, I couldn’t imagine life without them and will care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for mine. I have personal experience caring for high-energy dogs, gentle seniors, and cats with very different temperaments. Each pet has their own personality and needs. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and consistency! I work weekdays in the morning/afternoon. I make my own schedule though so I can be flexible for potty breaks and pets needs. Available after 3pm weekdays and have full weekend availability. I have a fenced yard and two dogs and three cats. When away my dogs are allowed to roam but if your pet needs crated or their own space that is completely possible. I am very pet friendly and put my pets before anything, they will be well taken care of.

“Katie is a wonderful sitter, I’d give her 6 stars! Our dogs are our children and we felt very comfortable with Katie after the first day. They loved her and the treat gifts she left for them was the sweetest! Also a big thank you for keeping their supplies tidy and picking up after them!”

“Garrett was great while giving our two Boxer dogs a potty break once a day for 2 weeks! He was patient with our youngest who was shy and would try to hide from him. He was also patient with our oldest, who is a typical Boxer and is very rambunctious! He also didn’t just let them out to potty, he played with them a bit, which we appreciated!! Garrett was prompt and respectful of our home; he cleaned up an accident on the first day when one of our dogs was excited to see him. He also communicated professionally and sent pictures daily. We hope to use Garrett is available again when we need pet services!!”

“Thanks for caring for our dogs!”

About: Hi, I’m Drew, a proud dog dad to my Doberman Azula Kiyoshi and my late Golden Retriever Marley Appa. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. When a pet is in my care, they’re treated like family and receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, boarding stay, or house sitting, I do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I invite you to read my reviews from other pet parents who have trusted me with their pets. I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate last-minute bookings, including weekends. When your pet stays with me, their routine and comfort are my priority. I have a flexible schedule and more then willing to take last minute request on the weekends. Your pup schedule becomes my schedule. I am flexible. When your pet is in my care, they will be in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you are away.

“Hallie was so good with Willow. She was pleasant, prompt and did exactly what we asked. We would definitely use her again.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for most of my adult years. I have had all of my dogs from the time they were small puppies until they have become adult and senior dogs. I have worked with both large and small breeds, such as Beagles and German Shepherds. I currently foster/volunteer for Rescue One and enjoy every minute of it. To ensure you and your pet are comfortable, I provide a free meet and greet. I am available early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings during the week. I am more flexible with times on the weekends. However, please feel free to message your needs and I will see if I can accommodate. I am accustomed to set schedules with pets, enrichment, and exercise. I practice strict leash security and will double check all gates, fence, and doors before leaving. There will be 100% transparency and regular, proactive communication with frequent updates and photos or videos. I will adhere to all instructions and specific routines and rules. I am always prompt and respectful.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10 years old. This includes cats and dogs with special needs such as permanent injuries, animal aggression and seizures. Volunteered at animal shelters all of middle and high school. Very loving and kind with all animals. I work full time as an electrician, however my schedule is very flexible and I have all weekends off. I only work a regular 8 hour day and have plenty of time to spare after work for your beloved furry family member. I live in an apartment but fortunately it has its own dog park area, nearby parks, walking paths and hiking locations. I am very active and enjoy high energy dogs, but I also enjoy relaxing and giving plenty of ear scratches to dogs that like their lazy days.

“I am so grateful for Ara! She did amazing with my young, large dog who can be a handful sometimes. She was very attentive and went above & beyond, making sure all my animals had their needs met & enough attention and love. I appreciate the communication I received as well throughout my trip. Will absolutely be using her again!”

About: Please send me all of your cute fur babies my way! Hi, there! I’m Korina. I naturally have a calm, peaceful presence, so I would be a great match for your anxious, senior, shy, low energy or more laid-back dogs or cats. What sets me apart is that I work remotely, which allows me to be present with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me the availability to respond to their needs, routines, and energy levels. I’ve had experience with animals for many years. I previously owned a black lab named Aurora, and I currently have an orange cat of my own. I also have regularly helped care for my mother’s two dogs — a Maltese Schnauzer and a Golden Retriever — and I’ve looked after my sister’s dog multiple times in the past as well. Animals tend to gravitate toward me because I pay close attention to their body language, boundaries, and personalities. I’m very mindful of their cues and comfort levels, which helps me understand what they need more or less from me. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’d be happy to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. If I’m housesitting, I’m practically readily available. I work a full-time remote job that would allow me to be present and handle the tasks needed to care for your pets. I would have time to see them in intervals multiple times a day with no problem and with plenty of time for play. But if I do drop in visits, I can do 2-3 drop in’s a day. 1st at 7:00-8:00a, 2nd at 11a-1:30p and 3rd at 4:30p-10p - depending on my work schedule and the daily demand. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the understanding that it is first and foremost your pet’s home and safe environment. I’m very respectful of both the home and the routines that your pet is used to. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I aim to maintain the same peaceful atmosphere your pet is used to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.

About: I volunteered at CARE which is a no kill pet shelter for cats and dogs in 2014 and recently started volunteering at this place again, February 2018. My duties included feeding and making sure the animals had enough water. Cleaned out kennels and cages and would take the dogs outside and walk them. I have had dogs and cats since I was born and currently had a dog who loved being around other cats and dogs. She loved to play with animals as well and loved children. Her name was Daisy she is in my profile pic with me. Daisy was euthanized on September 1st, 2023. I now have another dog whose name is Emma. She’s a year old and as long as it’s ok with a client I bring her to pet sitting jobs. She loves other animals including cats and loves to play. She’s lovable and affectionate and loves attention. I also have a cat and her name is Maizy. She is four years old and I got her when she was almost 4 weeks old. I would take Daisy for walks and if I could take her with me to other places I did. One of the places I took her was to the pet store. I no longer wear a mask unless I have to. If you prefer for me to wear one please let me know and I will wear one. I use to work at a job which required me to work a 10 hour shift. I am now working at a full time job which has 8 hour shifts. I can work around my schedule if needed. My supervisor does work with me on switching my days around if needed. I can’t keep your pet in my apartment due to rules and restrictions but I can come to your home. I will provide my own food and necessities.
