Cat Sitting in Ferrisburg

“We've booked with Bailey several times and will continue to do so. The communication and pictures we got left us reassured that our kitties were doing well during our trip.”

“Nicole was so generous in sending pictures and videos for a nervous, first time boarder. She took excellent care of our beloved kitty and we will definitely book with her again!”

About: Hi! I've been around animals my whole life, and caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I've owned and loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and that lifelong experience shows in how I care for every animal I meet. What really sets me apart is my background in pet care and dog training. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I took many animal science courses. I took classes in canine behavior, pet shop management, and animal science. I learned how to handle, groom, and care for dogs of all breeds, through hands-on experiences. I bring patience, knowledge, and lots of love to every pet I care for. I am college student spending the rest of my summer from July 8 until August 22 at home. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m already helping my family take care of our own dog, so adding more pets to my routine fits in perfectly! I am available Monday through Friday and am very flexible throughout the day, so I can easily accommodate different schedules and needs. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I stay in tune with how they are feeling, making sure they’re well-fed, clean, healthy, and getting plenty of rest and outdoor time. At home, I provide a pet-friendly environment. I’m also lucky to live next to a reservation with trails, open fields, and ponds and streams perfect for dogs who love to explore nature. I enjoy taking pets on these little adventures to keep them active and mentally stimulated. When it comes to pet care, I always treat each animal as if they were my own.

“Kristy is a great cat-sitter. I trust my kitties are gonna be ok when I'm out of town and she's watching them. I've booked with her at least three times in the last year and will do so again!!”

About: My first job was working at a doggy daycare because my mom never let us have pets growing up. She eventually changed her mind and we've owned dogs for the past 5 years, but that initial love for animals has never left me. I've had everything from easy mutts and goldendoodles, to stubborn schnauzers. My motto for size preference has always been "the bigger, the better" because it's more to love, but working at the day care has given me the experience of handling a variety of sizes / breeds / temperaments. I'm currently a student at the University of Vermont, so I'm looking for something to fill in my time after class and on the weekends! Having owned dogs myself, safety is extremely important to me. Your pet will never be unsupervised while under my care. I will care for your animal as if it is my own.

“Alma was a wonderful carer for our two kitties while we were away. She sent photos and kept us updated the whole week. We would highly recommend her! Thank you, Alma!”

I also had the gift of getting a mouse and having her have 9 babies unexpectedly so that has been adventure. I have also gotten to raise several batches of baby chicks and we now have a total of 6 chickens as well. We have quite the mini farm. Ive watched several dogs and cats since I was little.

My main animals live at my moms house.

“Janet was amazing! I loved the messages and pictures every time she dropped in and she did a very good job with our dog who is nervous around new people. I definitely recommend her!”

About: My name is Melissa and I have taken care of animals since my first dog in second grade. I previously had a Labrador and Shih-Tzu who both lived until old age. I also fostered older dogs who could not find homes due to their age. I currently have a one year old yellow lab mix. He’s dog and cat friendly. In order to board your dog, your dog must be dog friendly. I also require a meet and greet to ensure it’s a good fit. Buddy is not neutered so unspayed females are not a good fit. I offer boarding in my home. I live in a second story apartment in an old building with a large yard. There is a picture of my apartment located within my pictures. I only board one animal at a time as it's a one bedroom apartment. It allows me to spend quality time with your pet! For boarding I do provide dishes and toys, but many animals prefer to have some of their own. I have open availability on weekends, however I work from home on weekdays and there may be times I need to be out of my home for up to three hours. I have a camera in my home and will be able to remotely check on your pet if I need to be away for work. I will always inform you prior to the booking if I have appointments out of the home. I am experienced feeding animals in a variety of ways and will follow your instructions on feeding and walking. I ensure animals are well cared for, played with, and that they receive the attention and care needed.

About: I've cared for pets of my own my whole life (40+ years) including cats, dogs, birds, rabbits and fish, and have been a go-to pet sitter for friends and family for many years. I have my own web design business and work from home with flexible hours, so am able to accommodate pet care visits and dog walks into my schedule as needed. For dog walks: I can pick up your dog(s) in my car and take them for adventure walks on nearby trails, or walk them in your neighborhood. Your preference. For cat/dog pet sitting: If you're planning to be away and need a trustworthy pet-sitter, I'm happy to help. I'll make sure your pets are fed just the way you would feed them. I'll clean your cat's litter box, play with your cat/dog, offer snuggles, and give medications as needed.

“We are grateful that we can go away and know that Mad Max is well taken care of by Angie. Angie has excellent communication, is responsible, and affectionate and reliable with Mad Max. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up on a small hobby farm with goats, chickens, horses, dogs and cats. When I was younger I helped train 2 Border Collie/Australian Sheppard mix puppies. I have a good sense of what animals need and am very patient and loving with all animals. I have a infant daughter who will be accompanying me with most my drop in visits. She will be in a backpack while I take care of your furry friend. I am available most mornings, nights and weekends. I love being outside and love being around animals. I am active, friendly, and responsible. I can't wait to take care of your pet and give it love and attention. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I am flexible! I have little ones (2 young daughters) but they will be able to come with me on occasion and they are also pet lover themselves. I have a fenced in yard if needed and love going on long walks and hikes. We would get lots of play time in and happy to bring my dog along for companion if wanted.

“Shelby was awesome! Our cats are normally very shy, but on Shelby's first visit they came right out. She is definitely a cat person and we felt very comfortable with her in charge. Excellent communicator. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover and caretaker my whole life. I have novice vet tech experience and I’m not afraid of the feisty ones, either! I’m working full time but my shift currently runs from 5pm to 1am Tues-Sat, so I am available for walks, play sessions, and pet/house sitting as needed around those hours. Working hours subject to change every few weeks. I like to have fun with my furry friends. I’m not afraid to get down and dirty, or even rough when the zoomies come out.

“Took great care of my two elderly cats! Will definitely book with Alexandra again!”

“Amanda was very pleasant. She was very experienced and knowledgeable with puppies. She went above and beyond on a last minute drop in request.”

“Laurie did a fantastic job with Stella! She communicated with us was very professional and went above and beyond to take care of Stella! Laurie is very knowledgeable and friendly! We will ask for Laurie’s help again. I would highly recommend her.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mara. She did twice daily drop ins and walks with my 3 Australian shepherds and kitty in my camper and followed all my crazy routines/ niche camper instructions to a T. She was timely, communicative and I know my babies were loved on in my absence. My trip ended up being delayed >30 hours and ended up with 3 additional checkins. Mara and her flexibility are the only reason I stayed sane throughout my ordeal- knowing above all my family was taken care of. 10/10. I would recommend Mara to anyone looking for peace of mind any time they need to leave town!”
