Cat Sitting in Four Acres

“Remi is a wonderful care taker. After our initial meeting, I knew she was the right person to care for my senior dog. She even visited with my gecko. Remi will be my go-to person for future needs. I strongly recommend her!”

“Melissa went above and beyond during her house sitting for me. She’s communicative, reliable, and she even cleaned my apartment for me, which was extremely kind and appreciated. I trust my cats with her and I would book again with Melissa in a heartbeat.”

About: I am a compassionate life long animal lover. I’ve worked in animal hospitals with large boarding facilities, as the lead kennel technician, as well as being a veterinary assistant. I spent my days playing with and caring for other people's animals. I am able to give medications and tend to special needs animals. Though I left my hospital job when I moved here at the beginning of the pandemic, I've chosen to continue to work with animals because it is something that comes naturally to me & I feel that it's important to love what you do. I look forward to meeting new furry friends! I now have a fairly open schedule so I am mostly free to work with new clients to meet their pets needs and keep a consistent routine 💜 I am happy to hang out and get cozy with animals that aren’t up to outside playtime, and I love being outside with those that do have more energy! My parents currently have a puppy and I visit daily to have play time and help wear him out a bit (bc it’s so fun!).

“Nicole took excellent care of our cat Kitty for a week. She was well organized, neat and left a clean environment for Kitty every day. Enjoyed the photos sent to us.”

“She was reliable and cared about our cat. I would recommend her.”

“Maryjane was great! She stepped in when an emergency forced my other sitter to end the stay early and she picked up the care for my cat without missing a beat! My cat clearly loved her, too. He was happy and well fed, and my apartment looked great when I got home! I will definitely book with her again!”

“Ashley did a wonderful job taking care of our cat with daily visits while we were on vacation. Our cat Molly is usually pretty shy with new people and hides, but she liked Ashley right away. We appreciated the photos, updates and good care she provided!”

About: I grew up with two big German Shepherd huskies and now I have a lab and German Shepherd Husky, and Catahula/B Collie I’ve watched pit bulls as well. Some experience with horses and live stock. Work remote in Cool and have very flexible availability, I can take very short notice jobs and I'm only out of town a few days a month I am someone who runs daily so long dog walks will be fun for me. I can also take dogs to parks if that is desired.

“Rebecca was super flexible and communicative. She sent me lots of pics of the kitties and spent time playing with them. I would definitely book with her again. Thank you Rebecca!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 5. I have a degree in animal science, specializing in horses. I have a one year old Labrador named Kilala who I already take on walks. Let me add your pet to our adventures. I just started a new job. I work Monday-Friday half days. Usually unavailable on weekends unless I have plenty of notice. If the request if for house sitting your dog needs to get along with mine I want to take your dog on walks/hikes. I already have my own dog so she needs to come with me if I am house sitting and ideally she would join in on all walks. Please no pets that are aggressive towards other dogs or people.

About: We got our first family dog when I was five and I’ve loved dogs ever since! I regularly pet sit and house sit for friends, family, and people I've caregive for. It's been one of the best jobs I've ever had. I've spent a lot of time around puppies so I do have some skills in puppy training and use positive reinforcement with treats as my personal preference for training. I also have a lot of experience with cats and have one myself. I really love taking pictures/photography so I'll be sure to send you quality pictures of your fur babies while I'm with them! I do pet sitting/house sitting part time but my schedule is really flexible since I work mainly from home. I'm free most weekdays and weekends! More than likely, I will walk your dog in your neighborhood. But I do love to go on long walks/hikes so if you're open to doing a 60 minute walk or over night stay, I'll make sure to take your dog somewhere fun whether it's to a local dog park or to the river!

About: I was raised from birth with and by dogs. I was raised on a farm with a large pack of dogs of all sizes and types, and that helped me to understand their body language, their need for respect and how to handle them. I have helped in training over 15+ dogs in crate training, potty training, general tricks, and manners. I have also helped pet parents learn more about how to communicate with, support and understand their pets. I am also a mother of 4 that homeschools leaving my schedule more open to the needs and engagement of my visiting pets. I am a stay at home mom and am available 7 days a week unless specified at that time. I intend to walk the pups throughout the day as well as play sessions if the pup enjoys playing. I have a large land that the pups would need to stay leashed in while on walks, but also have a play yard that is perfect for free range play and relaxing. I have a big home that they can find themselves in relaxing with my pup, as well as an outdoor “giant dog house”, that the pups can also lounge in during the day.

“Megan did great with our pup while we were gone. Great communication sent us our pictures as requested and even played with our little guy. We will be using her anytime we go out of town ?”

About: Hello there! My name is Stephanie and I am originally from the Florida panhandle. I have always had many pets my whole life and love and adore animals of all shapes and sizes! Pets can definitely require allot of time and patience and luckily I have both. My very first job was working at a dog day care facility in Tallahassee and it was absolutely amazing. Your animals will get the best and most loving care in the world from me. I am a very punctual and hard-working individual so no matter the size of your pet I am prepared to give them the best care and hopefully a new friend in the long run. I have experience with mini pigs and lizards as well and am open to any pet care encounter :) I have 5 dogs of my own and live on 3 acres in Garden Valley. My job is very flexible and I am looking to do pet sitting full time. I can take whatever days and times I need to care for your babies :) My husband and I live on 3 acres that is partially fenced. We have a large dog run with an automatic waterer and a camera to keep watch at anytime. Also plenty of leashes and harnesses for long walks. In my clients home I cater to all the pets needs equally and ensure plenty of love and potty breaks while also maintaining the cleanliness of the owners home.

About: Exercise and stimulation for your dog’s brain is important to me. I will walk your dogs and play games with her or him. I have experience administering medication to my own dogs. I will play games with your dogs with their favorite toys. I am enrolled in two courses, “Inside Your Dog’s Mind with Victoria Stilwell” and “Dog Emotion and Cognition.” My schedule is flexible and I’m available to walk your dogs when you need and provide care for them if you are going out of town. I will follow feeding schedules for your pets, give them exercise, and play fun games with them depending on your dog’s interests. I am an aspiring dog trainer and learning skills to bring to your dogs if you are interested.
