Cat Sitting Gates-North Gates

“Cindy has been incredible. She's provided great updates, made sure that my pet is comfortable, and I have been at ease the whole time I've been away knowing that Cindy has been checking up on everything. Can't recommend her enough”

“MacKenzie was great with my cat! He's normally really shy but he warmed up to her immediately. Thanks so much!!”

Kyle H.

“Madeline took amazing care of my cat Archie! She took great care in feeding him, and giving him love, pets, and attention. She is communicative, reliable, and sent the cutest pictures of Archie! I could fully enjoy my trip knowing my cat was left in her excellent care.”

Aimee O.

“Joseph was absolutely wonderful! He took great care of my cats and was super accommodating to their needs (one is really shy and he made sure to lay eyes on her and know she was okay, even if she didn't come out.) Super highly recommend!!”

About: I have experience caring for big and small dogs, including dogs with special dietary and diaper needs. I have extensive experience caring for cats, and am experienced in rodent and exotic pet care, too. I believe in bringing positivity and gentleness to your home as I care for your beloved pets! I’m very flexible! I have a kitty, hamster and fish of my own who have a regular schedule which is easy to work around. I understand the need for regularity and routine when it comes to animal care. I ensure my kitty, Finn is surrounded with creature comforts, as he is an indoor-only cat. I try to stay in tune to learn his preferences for play, food, socialization or space, etc. I am diligent about not leaving items around such as strings, small objects, bags, and other safety hazards. I monitor his food and water intake closely, and make sure to inspect his litter box contents. My hamster-Berry-gets play time with me outside of his enclosure and loves it. He used to be very shy but it coming out of his shell. He loves hard boiled eggs, meal worms, and seeds! I have a planted 10 gallon aquarium with betta, shrimp, otocinclus, and a snail. It requires regular maintenance to water quality and being in tune with the needs of each member of the community.

“Rico was friendly, great communication and kept me updated with photos while away for a week. My cats had never been alone while we’ve traveled and we returned to happy healthy boys. Thank you Rico. I would definitely use again in the future.”

About: I've been taking care of and rescuing animals since I was a child with my grandmother. We always had all kinds of lovely creatures running around the house, including a baby raccoon that we rehabilitated and released back into the wild when it was ready to leave the nest! I have experience in caring for pets with special needs and administering meds as needed. I have love and respect for all animals as they are true family members, and I'm looking forward to creating a bond with yours! :) My schedule is free and I'd love to fill my time with hanging out with your fur or scale babies!! All pets welcome, I have experience with most! :) I have one kitty currently who is always cozy in my bed or eating her fancy food from her bowl that must always be full! Lol! I would love more pets but I cannot due to limited space. This I why I enjoy staying with your pets in the comfort of their own home! I am very patient, affectionate, playful, kind, attentive, and will always be sure your babies receive the attention they need and are well cared for while you're away!

About: I own a Husky mix named Prisma who is turning 3 this year. She is quite energic and also epileptic. She is my daily experience. However I have sat for dog a bit bigger and much smaller! That includes Shihztus, Rottweilers, Golden Retrievers, Corgis, and Border Collies. I'm patient and responsible. My goal in any work field, but especially with your loved ones and possessions, is being reliable and communicating. This is what I find in my experience to be key for providing the best care and peace of mind. I work full time as a receptionist Mon - Fri, 8 to 4:30. This provides a lot of morning visits and overnight potential. Evening walks would works great as well. For specific requests, I can even dip into PTO to make the right situation work if a mid day visit is required during the work week. My Saturdays and Sundays are fully open at this time. I'm very patient and observant when interacting with pets of different personalities. Once informed on how you'd like your loved one to be cared for, I will do so in that manner. An obvious statement, but you'd be surprised how important that is to be said. If unsure or uncertain of care, we can brainstorm together as well to make sure I'm the correct sitter for the job.

About: I’ve taken care of cats for the past 5 years! I’ve done drop-in visits and house-sitting for family and friends while they’re away, including feeding, playing with, grooming, and taking cats to vet visits. I love having cats around, and in my eyes, all cats are beautiful! I’ll treat your fur babies with the same love, attention, and patience that I’d want for my own. I’m currently a third-year medical student, so I’m available to spend time with your cat after work on weekdays and throughout the weekends. I always aim to create a safe and calm environment for every cat. I'll ask for your instructions and clarify any questions to ensure we're on the same page. I'm also happy to follow any specific routines you have for your cat to help them feel comfortable while you're away.

About: I had a cat for 20 years and cage aninals when i was young. I have owned a dog with anxiety so patience was key. He needed Medication for that and his hips. I own two cats and a hedgehog. My cats come to a whistle, know how to sit and lay down, go to their blanket where ever it is. My older cat is great in the car and the younger cat I am currently training. I cut their nails and bathe them myself. Both are leash trained. I handle my hedgehog daily so that he is well socialized. My cats never bothered the rats or the hedgehog when let out of the cages. They would sleep woth the dog when no one was home. I work 12 hour over night shifts for my regular job. I am looking for day time and, when off night time or overnight opertunities to fit my shifting schedule. I work in Macedon and live in West Henrietta so I am flexible with locations. I am a quiet private person. I have two cats and a hedgehog. I previously owned rats, a dog, leopard gecko, and other caged animals Cages, boxes, bowls and, other cage items are cleaned daily as well as deep cleaning every 4 to 5 days or as needed. I enjoyed taking the dog as well as my cat for a walk! I have patience with animals with anxiety. I walk or handle pets that friends have such as snakes and birds.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind and size since i was 8 years old. Growing up I always wanted to work with animals and eventually I did. I worked at Verona street animal shelter and helped not only dogs but cats,bunnies,turtles,hamsters and more. I’ve dealt with really aggressive dogs and really scared/hurt dogs so i have knowledge on both.I took care of the dogs, trained, groomed, snuggled and loved on each and every dog of every kind. I am currently working full time at the moment so boarding will have to be on the weekends. But during the week there will be times i have a day off and sometimes there won’t but i will be able to have a couple hours to snuggle your fur baby :) Caring for the fur babies in their home i just follow the schedule and routine they have and snuggle up with them and play. In my home i have a 4 year old who loves animals as much as me and enjoys having fun, going for walkies and snuggling up by our electric fireplace.

“Corwin took very good care of my two 15 year old Munchkin Cats. I had him do overnights since Mochi, the female needs medication daily. I rarely go away more than 4 days and I was very comfortable leaving for over a week. Corwin sent me many photos and I could see how both cats loved him being around! I definitely would recommend Corwin to take care of your fur babies! 😻😻”

“Raena took such great care of our cat Rosie when we were away for a week! She sent us frequent updates with how Rosie was doing which gave us peace of mind while we were gone. Rosie is typically shy, but she warmed right up to Raena! She stayed overnight for the week and our house was in pristine condition when we came home. Next time we leave, we won't hesitate to reach out to Raena again!”

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 15. Family, neighbors, friends, and even bosses have turned to me for their pet care. I have a 9-5 job. I am available Sundays and Saturdays, and have flexibility on Mondays and Thursdays. I may also be flexible on an as-needed basis. When I pet-sit for others, I respect/adhere to their criteria (e.g., indoor cats are kept indoors, dogs needing fences are kept in fenced areas, etc.). With my own cats, I make sure they get all the cuddle and playtime they need. I do the same when dog-sitting (my sister's Golden Retriever is a bundle full of energy!) I feed my cats wet food twice a day and ensure that their dry food and water bowls are kept filled. When pet-sitting (dogs or cats), I always follow the feeding routine as requested by the owner. I always pay close attention to pet behavior, being mindful of any unusual behavior. I make sure to let the owner know of such behavior to determine whether any emergency action is needed. I am also very chatty with all pets, so rest assured that they won't feel lonely!

About: First, what sets us apart is that we can provide pet care for many animals, not just dogs and cats. If you are someone who needs care for all of your pets such as fish, birds, and small rodents. We are very comfortable with that and we think it would be fun to provide those services too! We have been dog sitting together for friends for over the past 7 years. Kate has been for over 20 years. We live in Rochester and are "all in" with pet care. James works at an elementary school and helps out at home in the evenings. Kate is a full-time student working on her dissertation. We are able to house sit at our clients house and we fit our daily routine with wherever we are at in the city. We always make sure that the area is “pet-proofed”. Meaning that there are no choking hazards or other things that they can get to. Keeping the home tidy and clean is very important to us.

About: I grew up with labs, one who lived to 14 years of age. After adopting my own dog, 3 years ago she was diagnosed with Addison's disease which requires a monthly vet visit and daily pill. If your dog needs medication while you’re away, I’m willing to administer it. I work 10 minutes from home and look forward to visiting my dog on my lunch break. She could use some company while I’m at work. I’m a single mom with shared custody of 2 kids, ages 3 and 1. Your dog must be comfortable with young children. It would be a pleasure for me to look after these important members of your family. I will be sure to send you many pictures and notes! I work full time M-F, however if you’re in my radius I would love to provide drop in visits during my lunch break during the week. If you would like me to board your pet, let’s chat! If you’re boarding with me, your dog must be friendly with young children (I have a 2.5 year old & 1 year old) and will be spending the day with my dog, Brinlee! I keep my own dog on leash and if we are comfortable meeting other dogs, I always ask the other owner first only if I know my dog is okay with it! My dog is welcome on my bed at night and sits on the couch next to me. If I’m caring for your pet, it’s important that I pass the sniff test. Let’s set up a meet and greet!

About: Hi! My name is Cullen. I'm originally from Vermont, but I'll be spending the summer in Rochester while attending college. I have plenty of experience caring for dogs, including my own 11 year old Goldendoodle as well as sitting for friends and neighbors pets. I've cared for multiple rescue dogs at the same time for extended periods of time, and have experience working with senior and anxious dogs, so I'm comfortable handling a variety of personalities and care needs. I offer overnight stays, drop ins, and walks, and I am capable of administering medications when needed. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I'm currently working part time in the early mornings, so my days are very flexbile. Feel free to reach out with a any questions on availability! When caring for someone elses pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routin. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, excercise needs, medication requirements, and any other household norms. For walks and outdoor time, I always use appropriate leashes or harnesses and make sure to remain attentive of your pets behaviors and surroundings. I have experience caring for senior, rescue, and anxious dogs, so I understand the importance of minimizing the stress of both you and your pets by providing reliable care while you are away.

“She is very reliable and will be booking again. Thank you so much for taking care of Muffin 🧁.”

About: Hi everyone! My name is Reese and I am a junior nursing major at St. John Fisher University! I am available for all dog/cat/etc. pet needs throughout the school year (September 7th - December 16th and January 11th - May 1st) minus a few random days/weeks for school breaks. I have been pet sitting for multiple years now including walks, overnights, and drop-in visits! I am comfortable caring for multiple animals at once so please don’t hesitate to reach out to me! I would love to spend some time with your pets while away from mine back home! I currently have classes pretty heavy Mondays and Wednesdays with breaks throughout the day to stop by! Tuesdays, I am done by noon. Thursdays are my clinical days so that would be the one day with a long stretch away from the home and then Friday-Sunday, I am completely free! I have had no issues so far with my schedule conflicting with pet care and is always a top priority! As I am a college student still living on campus, comfortability with me staying at your home would be a must (for overnights)! I also believe it keeps the dogs/cats/etc. calmer while their parents are away as they are still in their natural “environment” and only one of their daily norms is changing….ME!!

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats (both pet-sitting and dog walking) since I was 8 years old (over 14 years of experience!) and still frequently care for the dogs and cats of friends and family. I grew up with a black Labrador and miss having her around (she passed away while I was in college). I currently have a labrador and pittie mix and she gets along very well with dogs of all sizes. I absolutely adore dogs and cats and would love to take care of yours! I have a variable schedule as a nurse practitioner but am home for the holidays so can board your pup with mine or drop by yours for walks or house sitting (so long as my pup can tag along too for longer stays!) My pup is a 4 year old lab mix who is very friendly with other dogs! I can do boarding at my place as long as your dog is good with other pups. I can definitely go on long walks or runs, as well as shorter ones to get your pup some exercise! I'm happy to do drop-in services as well.
