Cat Sitting in Freeport

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and have been caring for them my entire life. I have experience with both large and small dogs as well as cats. I’m currently home from college for the summer and working part time so I have a good amount of time on my hands, especially on Sundays and Mondays. I experience with almost every type of pet care you can think of including things like bathing, crating, playing, walking, feeding, and even giving medication.

“Jesse was great! My cats are simple to take care of but from the pictures they looked like they had fun playing! I would definitely choose Jesse to watch them again!”

“Jenna was on time and did a great job with my 3 dogs. She sent me pictures and an update on how they did. I will definitely have her sit for us again.”

About: Our family has 2 very friendly labs, Gabigool 3 y/o and Pepperoni 1 y/o. Their hobbies are running in the yard, playing fetch/tug of war and cuddling. Gabi and Pepper love making friends with other dogs! Our Cat Joni enjoys watching the dogs play from other side of the room and keeps to herself. No dog is too big or too high energy. As long as you love to play and are good with cats you'll love hanging out at Gabi and Pepper's house! "Woof woof woof" - Gabi I am a health care worker who works full-time on the weekends and am home Monday through Friday. I grew up taking care of our family dogs and now I have two of my own I absolutely love them. I am available for walks and play time Monday through friday. Our lab Pepper loves to chew and eat everything around our house so we keep it well kept and puppy proof! We have a large fenced in yard with plenty of toys to keep your dogs entertained. Gabi loves to run our fence and is always excited to invite friends to join her! Pepper is a pro at playing fetch and loves to share her toys. When its a little too cold to be outside we take fetch and tug of war inside. "Bark bark bark"- Pepper

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I’ve grown up around family pets and understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m available 24/7. I have 4 dogs at home and am willing to pet sit at any point of any day! I’m just getting started on rover and would love to get my name out there! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both personal and professional settings. I previously worked for a local groomer as a dog bather, where I became comfortable handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition, I regularly care for my family’s dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, spending time with them, and pet sitting when family members are away. I also help care for pets for extended family members, including my aunts and uncles, who trust me with their dogs while they travel or need extra help. I truly enjoy being around animals and am looking forward to expanding my services to help more pet owners feel confident their dogs are safe, cared for, and treated like family.

“Melissa did an amazing job with our cats! She went above and beyond while taking care of them. Definitely someone you want to watch your pets!!”

“Lindsey was a great dog walker! We have two high energy dogs and she handled them with patience and care. She was always very responsive and sent good updates after each visit. Would definitely recommend her for pet care needs!”

About: I have grown up with many dogs, little and big. From taking them walks, cleaning the poop, and even just snuggles. I have a dog now who is just 4 yrs old. I love training her to do new tricks as she grows. (She can give hugs!) I worked at a Doggy/Cat boarding/Day care and loved spending time with them to build trust. I love helping the dogs and cats meet their needs and care as if they are my own until their own family will again. I am able to work through anytime on the week days. Start at 7am-9pm on the weekends. I can adapt to times and planning, even on short notice (shortest as a day before). I am able to work through handing dogs at your house as you want/need. Even cleaning through cages, vacuum, pick up poop, straight up toys. At the same time, your pet will be loved, fed/hydrated, play through the day, and all needs and/or wants.

About: I'm a newly stay at home mom with plenty of time to care for as many dogs as possible. I have owned dogs my entire life and could say I have upwards of 30+ years of animal care experience. I have even worked with other animals including horses, chickens & ducks, bunnies, goats. I currently own a senior golden retriever mix and a young golden retriever. However, stubborn breeds are not a problem for me as I did own a husky for 11 yrs. I am fully comfortable administrating medication as I spent 3+ years working as a vet tech prior to starting a family. Please feel free to message with any questions, I will be happy to talk to you to ease any concerns. I recently became a stay at home mom with 2 children in elementary school and one toddler at home so I have plenty of time. I'd love to spend my additional time playing with the dogs or going for walks. I have a fully fenced in yard (6ft tall), that was reinforced to contain a husky. The outside gates are padlocked shut at all times so no worries about one being left open. No dog leaves my house unless in the fence or on a leash.

About: Growing up family and friends of the family always gave me the responsibility of caring for their pets whenever they may needed. I grew up with having pets of my own as well. I always had a cat and a dog or two. My family had Whippets and a Doberman. Along with dogs and cats I always kept fish, and a reptile of sorts. I enjoy the science behind pet keeping along with the companionship. If trusted with your pet I can promise they will be loved as if they were my own, because that’s what they deserve! I work a block away from my home. I wake up a few hours before I’m due so I can take care of everyone. I’m home every lunch break for walks and pets then back home about 3 hours after that. My cat always has full reign on the house and my dog has a private bedroom with crate for when I leave. A nice sized fenced in private back yard great makes for a good playtime or potty break.

“Sarah was great with our pup and we appreciated her flexibility when we had to make last minute adjustments to our schedule!”

“Jessica did a fantastic job cat sitting as always! She is prompt, responsible, and always provides great communication and updates. Jessica goes above and beyond. I know my cat will be cared for well while I’m away!”

“Crystal cared for our cat and our two fish tanks while we were away for ten days. Our cat cannot eat dry food and is on medication. This extremely shy kitty required two visits per day. Crystal's kindly patience earned our cat's trust so that she ate, took her meds, and was in fine form when we returned. The fish tanks are large, and one is salt water. The fish were well cared for, too. Our porch flowers were blooming and our house was in perfect order when we got home. Crystal sent photos and updates after every visit. I never had to worry. Crystal is an excellent, trustworthy caregiver!”

About: I have experience with all types of animals! I have Pet-sat for over a decade, and I have a dog and cat of my own. I have experience with birds, reptiles, fish and ferrets as well. My professionally background is in animal care, ecology and wildlife studies. I understand they are part of your family and will treat them as such. Please reach out if you questions or interest. Thank You so much, I look forward to hearing from you. I have a flexible schedule with work but most days my early mornings and later afternoons are pretty free. I am willing to work and discuss with customers there needs. In your home I would spend multiple hrs to socialize and exercise your fur-child. Feeding in the morning and evening. For kitties I will clean there box daily, spend some time with them, and provide some playtime.

About: I have had dogs and cats forever! I was the neighbor pet watcher for many years! I would rather hang with animals than people always! I work full time during the week but my weekends are always free. Spending my weekend watching or walking dogs is better than doing nothing I have a cat that i spoil to no end and giving livings too even if he wants nothing to do with me. I would spoils and give your dog all the lovings

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I grew up with cats and because we were never allowed to have a dog, I would take care of dogs in the neighborhood. I would dog sit, walk them constantly, and would even bathe them. When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian. However the thought of having to put an animal to sleep, kept me from fulfilling that lifelong dream. With two Golden Retrievers of my own Duke 7 years old and Enzo 7 months old who I adore more than life itself, and a cat my life is full. Looking forward to adding more fluffy friends to my life, and maybe even adding some excitement to my dogs life by adding new friends. I currently work full-time, but the majority of my days at work are spent working from home, so my schedule is flexible. The more dogs the merrier ! I will do whatever is necessary to provide the best care when someone else’s baby is in my care. I know what I would want for my dog, so I would treat each animal that is in my care the same way I would treat my own dog with lots of love, treats, walks and playtime!

About: Hello! My name is Amanda and I am 32 years old. I have always had a strong love and passion for animals of all species starting at a young age. I have worked in several animal shelters and have worked as a veterinary technician, as well as being a certified dog groomer. Animals will always and forever be my passion. In the past I have owned fish, dogs, cats, and a variety of reptiles and pocket pets. As of now I have 2 cats and 1 dog! Your fur babies are my top priority while you are away, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they are spoiled and in the best hands! Please consider me as the pet sitter for you; I promise you will not regret it! My schedule is mostly flexible. Being able to leave for a couple hours a day is a must for me since I have other obligations. I keep my schedule on here up to date as much as I can. I take care of pets in their own homes with the utmost respect. I want them to be comfortable with me so I will try to keep their routines going to help out with making them feel at ease.

“Lilly is great. My dogs love when she comes over. I have a shy boxer that has really come out of his shell with her. She is very reliable and flexible with her schedule. Highly recommend.”

About: I grew up with a reactive black lab, so I know how to handle leash pulling and how to deescalate and prevent fights. In her old age, I learned to accommodate her failing joints. I’ve been trained at the Licking County Humane Society in Ohio as a volunteer dog walker, which has well equipped me to understand and respond respectfully to dog language. I further pursue this knowledge by reading about how dogs communicate with us, and by observing and analyzing their behavior both in real life and online. This will be my primary commitment, so I can easily cater to your schedule to fit your pets needs. Mornings, evenings, weekends, whatever you need, except Thursdays :) I will take great care to follow your instructions and respect the rules of your home and needs of your animal(s). I cannot accept boarding in my own home at the moment.

About: I believe our pets deserve the best care especially in times where pet moms/dads have to provide and take care of themselves, that’s where I come in to help focus on your pet and give them the same energy you would, so you can think about you! Patience, perfectionism, calmness, consideration, these are all things I take pride in. I am a very loving, gentle care taker (who loves to burn some energy off too through play!) I will focus on making sure your pets every need is met while going above and beyond to ensure they feel emotionally happy, safe, and respected by me. I have a very flexible schedule and am available any day, any time! I have reliable transportation and am available last minute if you need me I always start with a clean & sanitary space by ensuring food bowls, water bowls, beds blankets etc are all sanitary. Enrichment activities, brain stimulation, exercise, massages, cooking homemade dog/cat food, outfits/shoes for heat/cold protection, etc.
