Cat Sitting in Fairhaven

“Our dogs were happy with the care they got from Alexandra. They were happy to see us when we got home however, they were content and we could tell that they were well cared for.”

About: 🐾 Reliable Pet Sitting & Walks — Dogs, Cats & Birds Welcome! Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover offering dog walks and overnight pet sitting. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I treat every animal in my care like they’re part of my own family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities—from energetic pups who need long walks to older dogs who prefer a slower pace and extra attention. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routines, giving them plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I also have experience caring for birds of all kinds, which is something many sitters don’t offer. I’m comfortable helping with feeding schedules, cage care, and making sure your feathered friends stay happy and stress-free while you’re away. During overnight stays, I make sure your pets feel safe and relaxed in their own home while keeping things consistent with their daily routine. I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and will care for your pets like their own, I’d love to help! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🗓️ Schedule & Availability I currently work Wednesday–Saturday from 2 PM to 11 PM, but I still have availability for pet care depending on your needs. I’m typically available for: • Morning walks and drop-ins before 2 PM • Late-night check-ins after 11 PM • Overnight pet sitting • Sunday–Tuesday availability with a more flexible schedule When doing overnight stays, I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and comfortable before I leave for work and again when I return. I always try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and cared for. Feel free to message me with your dates and your pet’s routine, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! 🛡️ Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow the routine and care instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special needs your pet may have. I pay close attention to behavior and comfort so pets stay happy and stress-free while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and make sure everything stays clean, safe, and secure during overnight stays. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are being well cared for. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pets feel comfortable and loved until you return home.

“Heather is always amazing! I’ve booked multiple times but this was my longest trip. Her and my dog are best buds! I can tell my pup is having an amazing time with her in the pics. Heather is very reliable and trust worthy. I feel extremely comfortable knowing my fur baby is in the best hands 🤍🤍🤍”

About: !! MY PRICES ARE SLIDING SCALE FOR PEOPLE WITH FIXED INCOME!! (just message me) I love dogs and all animals, if you have more pets along with your dog I'll happily care for them also! I can care for special needs animals, and accommodate for animals with allergies. I'm very easy to contact and I'll send you frequent updates and pictures of your pets while I'm caring for them! I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I'll do an initial meeting in your home to make sure your dog(s) are comfortable with me in their territory, and we'll discuss all your pets needs while I socialize with them! I can't wait to give your dogs lots of love and exercise, they'll definitely be spoiled with me as their sitter or Walker. We'll have tons of fun playing together! I'm currently working part time at a local doggy daycare, im looking to find a second source of income doing the thing I love most which is working with animals of all kinds! I work 5 days a week M-F but I'm willing to work around my schedule to accommodate for your pets specific needs! I always go into meeting animals with a lot of patience and care depending on their temperment levels with new people. I never rush into a greeting with a pet because I want them to know they can trust me to respect the boundaries they've set and I won't force interactions. I'm very careful to respect house rules set by the pet owner and maintain a clean environment for the animals to relax in comfortably.

About: Experienced and flexible. Well reviewed! Happy to provide references. I volunteered at Thundering Paws Animal Sanctuary all through my High School years in Austin TX. There isn't much I can't handle but I'm also aware dogs can have different personalities and different needs. I'd love to cater to your pet specifically! I am 100% self employed, and a part time stay-at-home pet/ plant dad! I'd love to make time to care for your pets as well! Obviously your pets are top priority but please let me know what I can do to keep your home safe and sound as well :)

About: I am a former dog trainer at Dog Gone Amazing training and boarding in Reno Nv for the past 4 and half years. I moved to Eureka to have a new start and would love to continue to work with animals. I’ve worked with many different breeds and many different temperaments. I currently have two dogs of my own and a cat as well. I’ve grown up with all sorts of animals, such a horses, chickens, sled dogs and cats. I would love to continue working with new pets and their owners! I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I’ve also worked as a kennel tech at a boarding/training facility and then moved on to become a trainer at that same facility. I always recommend crates for any situation but in my own home I would crate all dogs and rotate based on how they all get along. Feeding in the crate or separate from other animals. Daily walks or hikes depending on the animal. Cats would get daily enrichment. If weather doesn’t permit or the animal isn’t able to get that day I’d offer mental enrichment such as lick mats, food puzzles, play, training, etc.

About: Hi there! My name is Amber, and I would love to care for your furry family member! I only accept up to two dogs at a time, ensuring each dog receives plenty of personalized attention. and a calm and focused environment for your pup. With a free and flexible schedule, I am home and fully present with your dog throughout their stay. In September 2024, I said goodbye to my beloved 14-year-old dog, an experience that deepened my appreciation for the love and care our pets deserve at every stage of life. I understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and familiar environment, and I strive to make every pup feel at home. My property features a spacious 1/4-acre lot with a large fenced yard for playtime and exploration. Additionally, I’m just a short walk from a dog park near the hospital and beautiful nature trails, offering plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, cuddle time, or just relaxing in a peaceful setting, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and providing them with a loving home away from home! I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide full-time attention to your dog. Whether they enjoy daily adventures or a relaxing routine at home with neighborhood walks, I’ll tailor my care to suit their preferences. Your dog’s happiness and comfort are my top priorities. I believe in providing consistency and structure to help dogs feel safe and secure. Meals, medications, and walks will happen on a reliable schedule, and I’ll make sure your pup is cozy and comfortable at bedtime. For younger dogs, I enjoy working on basic commands to keep them engaged and mentally stimulated. For seniors, I focus on their comfort, with shorter walks and plenty of relaxation time.

About: To name a few specific skills would be administering medication for cats and dogs, expert back and belly scratching, and behavior training with my own dogs at home. I work part time and have a ton of time to spend playing with your little buddy/buddies! I'm very flexible as my work schedule changes. But longterm sitting and walking can most certainly be arranged! I am currently unable to care for any pets in my own home at this time. Though that may change sometime in the near future.

About: My whole life I have helped take of family pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and horses. I have done pet sitting/walking for others over the years as well. I am looking for a job this summer and I’m not sure what my schedule will be like but it will depend on how many hours I am given. I my clients home I make sure the pets receive lots of love and long walks. I make sure to always follow exact directions given.

“I booked Erica for a drop in when I was heading out of town and she really made me feel like my cat was in good hands. She sent a cute photo of him and communicated well. Would recommend!”

About: I have loved animals all my life and my dog is my whole world! I am not certified but have studied positive reinforcement dog training for many years and had great success. It is a dream of mine to become a dog trainer. This being said, I am confident I can provide safety and proper care for your pet. Additionally I’ve meticulously cared for many small animals and cats as well, and I am very careful because I know how important our animals friends are to us. I have experience with senior animals and administering oral medications and inhalers. Please reach out with any additional questions or concerns regarding your pet’s comfort and well being! Right now I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I am available as needed right now and looking for new clients to brighten my days! In my clients home I am focused on respecting the space of the animals and the client. It’s my job to ensure the animal is safe and sound and so my first goal is to be a safe and protective presence.

About: Not your average dog caretaker! I am a certified professional dog trainer & handler extraordinaire. Many folks on this platform will get your dog out for a "walk" and barely cover half a mile in the whole 30 minutes-- not me! I will make sure the needs of your dog are met, whatever they may be. I will maximize the booking for exercise, engagement, potty/food needs, and love. Your dog will look forward to our visits! I have worked closely with dogs in a variety of capacities- sled dogs, detection dogs, foster dogs, you name it! They are what I'm passionate about and providing quality care is my utmost priority. I work from home and have a highly flexible schedule, so I will always be available to tend to the needs of your pet(s). I put the needs of the animals I care for above all else. With any booking- you will get updates at least once a day, with photos and an update of how much fun your pet is having! In addition to Rover's offerings, I offer pack excursions! For an excursion, your pet will be picked up, taken on a hike/run/walk of 2-6 miles, as appropriate. I offer these as pack walks, so it's likely your dog will be with at least one other pup. Meet and greets are essential before booking due to this. Walks are adjusted to meet the needs of the dogs in the pack, and packs are put together based on similar needs. After 2-4 hours, depending on the excursion, your dog will be returned home toweled off and tired! Training can be arranged for dogs with either 3+ day long stays, or repeat day care/walkers. I specialize in "problem" behaviors, such as separation anxiety, destruction, shyness, etc. and would love to work with you and your pet on such issues. I make my own dog treats and enjoy sharing them with the pets I look after, if allowed by the owner. I also do pet-friendly cakes, so let me know if you have a special event coming up! I currently have a highly flexible schedule. Dog care is already integrated into my every day life. Literally- it's almost my entire life! Reach out and let's see if I can provide what you need! I have a sweet medium sized dog in my home that will befriend yours if they want, or casually do her own thing. I happily crate dogs or give them a safe space to occupy for down time/bed time. I don't typically allow guest dogs on furniture but have ample memory foam beds across the house. I provide LOTS of engagement and exercise, and some training on request.

About: I grew up with dogs and volunteered at the animal shelter to spend time with even more dogs. In college I walked for Wag! full time. Now I have two dogs, a super loving golden retriever and a very nervous australian shepherd mix. I’ve had the golden since he was a puppy and rescued the Aussie a few years later. I have extensive experience with reactive dogs and know how stressful it can be traveling out of town leaving your reactive dog behind. I’m willing to work with you for as long as it takes til we’re all comfortable with each other :) Small dogs big dogs senior dogs puppies I have experience and love them all so much :) October 2025 update: I currently work 8:30 am-5:00 pm in office Monday-Friday. I have availability to check in on dogs on my lunch break and before/after work. On weekends I can spend as much time as needed with your pets :) I will work with you! I believe pets are best off in their home environment so i’ll come to you. I know routines can be important so I will follow them. For every client I require a meet and greet and would prefer a home visit so that we can go over everything. Will send regular updates as well.

About: I've been raising service dogs for Canine Companions since 2016! I have experience with puppies aged 2 months and up. I've been best friends with a GSD for the past almost 5 years! I'm very patient and understanding with anxious and stressed dogs due to my experience with my pup. I'm currently full availble for the summer, but will be a full time student starting in early August. I've got classes all day Mondays and Wednesdays, and I host studio hours on Saturdays. I'm very comfortable with crating dogs and walking high energy dogs. My dog is a runner and tries to escape, so I'm very familiar with keeping a close eye on dogs that are a little too excited!
