Cat Sitting in Gem Lake

“Took great care of my dog and is very responsive!”

Amy F.

“Rylan was an excellent cat-sitter. Our interview made me very content that she would take good care of my kitty. I appreciated all the photos she sent me.”

Linda K.

“Over the years, Julie has watched our cats on multiple occasions. As with the prior instances, everything went flawlessly this time. Knowing that someone like Julie, who is trustworthy, professional, and thoughtful, is looking after our pets is very reassuring.”

About: I have over 10 years of hands‑on experience caring for dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m calm, patient, and highly reliable — flexible with scheduling and available on weekdays and weekends. I can support puppy/kitten socialization and basic training (crate, potty, leash manners), and provide gentle, attentive senior care including medication administration, joint‑friendly walks, and adapted routines for mobility or cognitive needs. I’m comfortable with special diets and medical schedules, skilled at reading body language to prevent stress, and I am happy to send as many photo updates as you desire! I structure my day around the pets in my care to provide consistent routines and attention. Weekdays I’m available for morning and evening walks, midday potty breaks, and play/supervised rest throughout the day — I can also provide all-day care when needed since I live in a secure apartment with a fenced dog area and can be with your pet at all times. Weekends I offer extended walks, extra playtime and socialization. I follow each owner’s feeding and medication schedule precisely, accommodate crate or training routines, and am flexible for early/late drop-offs or pickups when arranged. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet to coordinate schedules and any special timing needs. I treat every pet like family and tailor care to each animal’s needs and household rules. I provide photo/text updates after visits, and will contact you and your vet immediately in an emergency. I’m happy to meet beforehand to review routines, medical needs, and any special instructions to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety. In my home I provide a clean, pet-safe environment (no toxic plants/chemicals, non-smoking), supervised play, regular potty breaks, leash walks, and quiet resting areas. I live in a secure apartment building with a fenced-in dog area and can be with your pet at all times if they need extra attention. I follow each owner’s feeding schedule, portion and medication instructions, and any crate or training rules. In a client’s home I respect your space and routines, lock doors and gates after every visit, refresh water, tidy any messes, and leave a detailed visit note. I use secure leashes and carriers as needed, offer enrichment (toys, games, gentle training), limit interactions with other animals unless approved, and monitor pets closely for signs of stress or illness.

“Anna has been wonderful. I have a pretty reactive German Shepherd, so finding someone who can be patient during the warming-up period can be challenging. Kaya has already made great progress in getting comfortable with Anna, which is a true reflection of Anna's kind and calm nature. Anna has only worked with Kaya twice, but I’m planning to schedule regular visits based on the great results we’ve seen so far.”

About: I have lived with cats since I was 14 years old and have looked after cats and dogs independently since I was 16. I am comfortable with administering medications from my time working at Grand Avenue Veterinary Clinic. I typically work a week day that leaves me away from the house from the hours of 7am to 7pm. Please consider this when determining if I would be a good option for caring for your furry family! As I will be in your and your pets home, making sure everyone is comfortable with me in the space! My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you are away. If you have any specific concerns about going on walks or interacting with other humans and pets please let me know so I can abide by what works best for your family. I have been trained on how to pill animals who are nervous about medication to ensure that your pet recieves their medication and remains safe and supported in the process. If you should ask me to take care of your home I make sure to grab the mail daily and follow the motto of leave it better than you found it! I want to have you to come home to a clean house.

About: I grew up on a farm and have had animals around my whole life. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and my work with people on the spectrum has helped me understand different personalities, routines, and comfort needs. I love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently available most weekdays when I’m not babysitting my nieces. I spend a lot of weekends in the cities right now, but I’m occasionally available on weekends as well. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, park trips, or watching pets for a few hours at a time. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, quiet time, or just keeping them company and making them feel loved while their owner is away.

“Maddie provides great updates and takes many pics of him for me!! She is also very flexible with her schedule for me!”

Carissa D.

“Malcalisha took very good care of my Buddah and managed to bond with him when I hadn't ever seen him not be terrified of other people. She sent updates every day via photo and video, and was very responsive to messages.”

About: I grew up having all kinds of pets, from small rodents, birds, cats, dogs, geckos, and fish. My love for animals has continued throughout my adult life and my comfortability around all kinds of animals is second to none. I work in private childcare, and am used to both entering into others homes and being respectful and trustworthy, and also provide loving and attentive care in my own home as well. Whether it's walks, cuddles, or reassurance that their parent will be back, your furry, cold-blooded, or feathered baby will be in good hands with me. Strong communication skills as well and as many photo updates as the pet parent would like! Monday through Thursday I leave around 7:45am for work and am back by 11:45 and home the remainder of the day! My 10 year old pup enjoys this schedule 😉 Friday through Sunday I’m home full-time. Lots of time spent playing, cuddling, and spending time relaxing together. I have a 10 year old female (fixed) 40 pound dog that is as sweet as can be and gets along with all animals! No prey drive whatsoever. We love walks, being outside, and cuddling on the couch at the end of the day.

About: Hello! We would love to welcome some new dogs into our home either for short trips or longer stays. Our family has a 4 year old golden doodle who loves to play with other dogs. We are an active homeschooling family and my husband works from home as well so someone is home a majority of the day! The kids are often playing in our large fenced in backyard and love to throw balls, run around with or just snuggle with dogs! We love to get out for walks and spend a lot of time on the couch reading so there are ample amounts of time we can spend loving on your fur-babies! Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to see if our family would be a good fit. We want to be a place where you can feel comfortable leaving your dogs while you are away! For the safety of my family, my dog, and your dog we require all pets to have a meet and greet before booking. This will allow us to make sure that we are a good fit for each other and that I can provide all the care your pet needs while also keeping my family safe. As a homeschooling family and work-from-home dad someone is usually home during the day. We can work with the families to make sure that we can provide all the love and care that your dog needs and desires! We have a fenced in backyard and a sweet medium sized goldendoodle to keep your dogs happy and well exercised! As each dog is different we are happy to work with families to make your dogs stay away from home as comfortable as possible!

About: I’ve been caring for neighborhood pets since childhood-cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, lizards, gerbils, fish, and more. Experienced with medication administration, brushing, and nail trims. How might I brighten your pets day? I work full time, but I have some flexibility in my schedule. I typically work from home on Thursdays. During the school year, I’m unavailable on Wednesdays from 4-9 pm. My aim is to keep your pet’s routine intact while leaving the smallest footprint possible. I’ll treat your home with respect and care as I tend to your 4-legged family members.

“Bryn did a wonderful job taking care of our pets! She paid lots of attention to our elderly cat and sent plenty of pictures and thorough updates. We came back to a happy and healthy boy. Can't recommend enough!”
