Cat Sitting Freedom

“My cat, Roxy, is often unfriendly, but she warmed up to Erica the minute she came in the door :) Erica took fabulous care of Roxy and I hope she will sit for me next trip!! Terry”

“Ashton and Shelby are responsible, caring and conscientious. They are great at communicating, and showed flexibility when I had a need for an extra visit. Knowing that they were truly caring for my animals helped me have the peace of mind needed to relax and enjoy my trip. I highly recommend them and will not hesitate to hire them again. My cats, rabbits, fish and plants were all well-looked after and I really enjoyed all the photos and updates!”

About: For four years, I provided dependable care for my friend’s cat and bunny while she attended college in another city. I made sure they were fed on schedule, refreshed their water daily, cleaned litter boxes and living areas, monitored their health and behavior, gave them affection and attention, and ensured they felt safe and comfortable. I have taken care of animals ever since I started college and did it almost monthly for two years. I can do daily check ups after 4:15pm from Monday through Friday. I can do full day pet sitting on Saturday and Sunday when needed. I’m a person who’s job is to make sure everyone is safe and without doubt I will bring that when pet sitting. Safety is priority.

About: I’ve watched all kinds of dogs from puppies to the oldest of fellas. Some have had strict diets and medications that needed to be taken at specific times. I always make sure to give dogs plenty of exercise especially if they are crate trained, just get them tuckered out before needing to be put away for the night. House rules are always respected as well, your house is just as important as your dog! I am a full time student at SOU as well as an athlete so I will need to work around my class and practice schedule however, I scheduled classes to give me a little morning time and have evenings free! Periodic check-ins Monday-Thursday work best, staying full time at ones house works best Friday-Monday morning. While I can’t take in pets as I live in the dorms at SOU, I can carve out time to come meet the client and pets before the trip if that would give a sense of comfort, learn about the home and such. I am comfortable giving oral medicines to stubborn dogs, I have one myself! I have worked in houses that have cameras and/or pet cameras in and out of the house so I am comfortable with that too!

About: Having pups, kitties, and people puppies around me all my life, I provide attentive care, a semi-professional throwing arm with amazing aim as a red dot illusionist, and the ability to hike 3 miles or nap for 3 hours - fur-friend's choice! I will bring my own water, blankie, and snacks, so whatever your pet desires or needs, I am a ready and willing adventure buddy! I work full time, but I find myself with spare time on weekends and after some work nights. I also have the added benefit of a hybrid work schedule, so I am happy to work from your home with your bestie(s) and catch multiple play or potty breaks with the cutie(s). In your home, I am respectful of your space and theirs, and I am really laid back but responsible by nature. Your fur-friend will be safe and comfy in their own space, and I have very good self-entertaining skills and sleep habits if they prefer to be chill. If they are hyper or playful, I will match their energy within the limits and regulations of the home we are in. Car rides, hikes, parks, walks around the neighborhood, and even a backyard fetch session are happily encouraged. I can maintain a schedule or be as flexible as your buddy needs!

“Joy is a wonderful pet sitter!!! I was gone for 10 days and she sat with my cat. She not only sat with my cat she washed the towels and bedding that she used!!! Not something I’m used to in a cat sitter. She was also very informative!! I’d use her again!!!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover, self-appointed professional cat whisperer, and firm believer that every pet deserves VIP treatment while you’re away! I volunteer at SCRAPS Animal Shelter, so I’m used to everything from cuddle bugs to “don’t look at me” gremlins. At home, I’m proudly managed by my 13-year-old cat, Mr. Meowgi, who runs the household with an iron paw. Whether your pet wants playtime, snuggles and snacks, or just someone to admire them from a far, I’ve got it covered! Don’t worry, your plant babies will get some love too! 🌱 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, walks, playtime, snuggles, and keeping your pet’s normal routine on track. I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own while respecting their home, routine, and boundaries. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, litter boxes, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else that keeps them happy and comfortable. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you know your fur baby is in good hands!

About: I have been watching the dogs and cats of friends and family since I was in middle school, and have stayed overnight with a 6 month old puppy to make sure she was comfortable. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my number 1 priority. I always make sure to open the door slowly and make sure your pet can’t escape, and will follow any tips and tricks you provide as an owner. Please consider me when you’re planning your next trip, scheduling your next walk, or just want someone reliable to check in on your pup or kitty! I work full time and am always on call, but I have three dogs at home and make sure I can make time for the fur babies! I always ensure dogs are as at-home as possible and move at their pace, whether they need a run or just to hop outside and then curl back on the couch.

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, and I always strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd mix, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and high-energy dogs. I’ve also administered medications to my own dogs when needed and always follow care instructions carefully. Beyond caring for my own pets, I’ve looked after many friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. I also rescued one of my own dogs, which gave me experience helping an adult dog adjust to a new home, build confidence, and replace unwanted habits with positive behaviors through patience and consistent training. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your dog prefers a relaxing walk or an active adventure, I’ll tailor their care to their individual needs while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. If I’m providing house sitting, I just ask for about two hours each day to care for and exercise my own dogs while my husband is at work. Outside of that, I’m committed to following your pet’s normal routine and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and any special instructions so they receive the care they’re used to. Whether we’re out on a walk or spending time at home, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog for a walk, or house sitting, I’ll provide attentive, compassionate care while doing my best to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I’d also be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hi there! My name is Payten, and I’ve been around dogs my entire life—of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a senior dog who needs a little extra TLC, I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of behaviors and needs. I’m comfortable administering medications and have been around many dogs with special needs. My goal is always to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m known for being reliable, organized, and incredibly kind. You can trust that your dog will be in caring, capable hands. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your best friend and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I am also a non-smoker and do not vape. I’m currently a college student, but I have a very flexible schedule and am available up to five days a week for check-ins or overnight care. I have my own car, so I’m able to travel to wherever your pet needs me to be. In my clients home I will care for the animals just how the owner would like me to. I will follow all directions and do my very best to keep the dog happy and healthy. I will send daily updates and pictures too!

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was 10 years old, any breed or size. I even used to have 2 of my own before they passed away . But now i can’t house any dogs so id love to take care of yours ! I am currently in college at EWU and on the track and cross country team . I have class part day and run part of the day so hard to work a regular job and need something to do in the mean time like walk someone’s dogs or feed some cats ! I have an apartment so I unfortunately can’t board pets but can house sit or stop in most times of the day or week !

“Suzanne was great with our two cats! Very friendly and responsive throughout the stay from start to finish. I highly recommend working with Suzanne if you need someone to look after your four legged friends”

About: - Grew up in the country surrounded by dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens, and other farm animals my whole life. - I’ve house sitted for family friends dogs and plants - I highly prioritize communication and safety on both sides I’m very available at the moment as I just graduated. I am happy both to set up a reoccurring service or stay flexible from week to week over the summer. I can’t keep animals in my apartment, but I am physically and mentally capable of the challenges regarding pets like crates, leashes, exercise/play, differences in personalities, and minor discipline if wanted.

About: I've been around dogs the majority of my adult life and have experience with dogs of all ages. I've tended to senior dogs, young pups, often dogsitting friends' dogs while they worked. I was a part of a pet sitting business for weddings. I have two senior dogs myself, so they have a soft spot in my heart, down to the pickiest of pill takers. While my old men can't enjoy as many walks, but you can bet I'll be taking yours on the strolls they need! Despite working during the week, I'm fairly free otherwise, leaving plenty of time for play. My dogs and I have a routine and they love being around other dogs, so there will be lots of playtime, attention, and care. Your pets would get gentle voices, cuddles, and two bonus friends to play with. They would be treated with extra care, patience, and love for I understand that new people can be overwhelming for any pet. My goal is to keep them as comfortable and loved during their experience with me to ease any of their anxieties with respect to their boundaries and comfort levels.

About: From the moment I was born, we always had a dog growing up. I rescued my albino pit bull 10 years ago. Our animals truly become apart of the family. I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom and our days are usually outdoors, welcoming walks and pet sitting. Opportunities for pet care is important for us as part of life teachings and my daughters are always happy to help. I have a large crate, if needed. My home has a large fenced backyard. They are welcomed to stay inside the home and stay cool or be outside to roam, we have a doggy door.

About: I won't just treat them as a "pet" I treat all animals as family. I have taken care of various dog and cats from family members and friends since I was a child. This included staying over, walking, feeding, training and playing. At the moment I am pursuing schooling for dog training so I have open availability for walks and drop ins! I usually ask for a days notice but it never hurts to ask. I have had experience with larger dogs (German shepherds, Great Pyerenese, Pitbulls and Saint Bernards) as well as small dogs (Chihuahua's, Shih Tzu and Dachshunds). I also provide baths and nail trimming when asked. I enjoy running too so if your looking to get your dog in shape! For pets coming to my house they must be crate trained (for when I sleep) and friendly with other dogs.

“Dr. Erma was such a help! She picked up a job last minute. I have a cat that needs insulin shots and doesn't like other people and Dr. Erma was able to administer her medication safely while I was away. Dr. Erma was very communicative, professional, and consistent! I got stuck traveling in the Delta glitch and Dr. Erma was so helpful and responsive to extend her times and make sure my cat got her medicine, even though I came home a few days later than was planned. I felt confident having my cat in her care!”
