Cat Sitting in Gilchrist

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've worked in the veterinary field since 2001 as a receptionist, veterinary technician, and front office manager, caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Growing up, both my parents were animal control officers and our home fostered hundreds of animals, so I learned early on how to handle, comfort, and care for pets in many different situations. I work full-time Mondaythrough Thursday but am often flexible for visits before and after work. I'm off Friday through Sunday and available for pet sitting and pet care during those days. I will care for your pet in your home as if they were my own. I understand how important it it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment, so my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I will make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of exercise and playtime, and get lots of attention and affection. I will always keep a close eye on their health, behavior, and comfort while you are away. My priority is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for until your return home.

“Our two dogs enjoyed their time with Keri. Both were quite tuckered out when we got home! It was a last minute booking, but she still was able to come through and spend plenty of time with our pups!”

About: Animals are inherently apart of who I am as a person, and my love and compassion for them is a part of my soul and what makes me, well, me! Here's a little bit 'About Me': - First and foremost, I have been training pets for over 20 years! - Growing up, my Dad's side had Labradors & kitty cats. Mom's side had several Shar Peis :) - I have (4) pets of my own, whom I have raised since each were a kitten or pup; 17 yr old Cheetoh kitty named Thisbe (Queen Bee of the house!), 9 yr old Siberian Husky named Sibyl (adventurer/free spirit woman of the house), & 4 mo. old Great Bernard named Wynnefred (lil big baby girl!). My kids are the heart and soul of my being, and I love'em like a fat kid loves cake! - I am an outdoor enthusiast, and, yep, you guessed it, my dogs (& cat depending on the activity) are my adventure partners! Whether it's hiking, camping, backpacking, packrafting, running, walking, snowboarding, we do it all as family & are very active. - There are no bad pets, just bad owners. I know, hold it against me, if you would like! - If there are any additional questions or information you would like to know about me, inquire within . . . Pets are the life and soul in about everything I do! I have goals to start several businesses re pet care and/or pet related. All animals welcome! I have a dog run and dog friendly house with (4) friends to keep your fur baby(ies) company! I am flexible in my schedule and can work with all breeds’ needs.

“Paris did a great job caring for my kitty. She sent lots of pets and had amazing communication. Will definitely rebook on my next trip.”

About: The first time I left my fur baby with a sitter, I was a nervous wreck. So I get it! I know that your dog (or cat, or bunny, or hamster - I’ve taken care of them all!) is an important member of the family, and I want to make sure they’re safe and happy, and that you know your pet is in good hands while you’re away. I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between, and have done it all - cleaned up messes, administered medication, and clipped nails. I’m self employed and work from home, so I can be with your fur baby 24/7! Needless to say, I love animals, and can’t wait to meet yours! I’m self employed and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule, and can be with your fur baby 24/7! I’ll work around your dog’s schedule. Many pets are more comfortable being in their own home, so I offer house sitting. I make sure to take care of your home like I would my own! I’m also happy to water any plants, put out garbage cans, and anything else you might need.

“McKenzie was great. We were her first cat but she did awesome. She sent us a photo of our cat and her food which was nice. Our cat was well taken care of. We will definitely hire McKenzie again!”

About: I have a bachelor degree in pre-veterinary science. I have worked in the pet industry for about ten years. I have worked at a couple pet stores, a veterinary hospital, and done dog walking and sitting for years before that. I am also certified in canine and feline massage. I love getting to know the pups and their personalities so we get along better. I have a dog and cats of my own, and I can bring my dog along for play dates if our dogs get along! If your dog has special needs I have some experience with that. I prefer to meet dogs before first appointment especially if I will be coming to get them when no one else is home I want them to know me. If you have any questions feel free to ask! Pet care is my full time job currently. I am pretty flexible and can work check-ins in when needed. Overnight sitting is also available along with walks. I like to stick as close to your pets normal schedule as possible when I stay in your home. When you are gone that is stressful enough for them so I just want them to feel comfortable and be happy while I am there!

About: I've taken care of pets of every kind since I was small. My neighbors and friends have relied on me for help, and I've been a pet owner my entire life. Currently, I have 2 dogs, Darby and Wallace, who are family. I also have years of experience working in veterinary offices and am accustomed to administering medications for animals of all sizes. I am mostly retired at this time, and so my schedule is fairly open. I'm available for home visits, dog walks, and some boarding opportunities in our home. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pet happy and entertained. they can have a private bedroom if you wish to give them some relaxation and rest time. I am also very happy to do in-home visits in order to keep your pet in their regular environment.

About: I have been an animal lover since a very young age. I enjoyed raising chickens, goats, cats, and dogs as a kid and now that I have no animals of my own, I am now getting back into the dog sitting business! I can dog sit at your house or my own. I’ll take your best friend for lots of walks, runs, play fetch and make sure they are properly cared for :) I have had about 7 years of experience in the dog sitting/walking business and have had dogs board at my place as well. My availability and pay are both very flexible so contact me and let’s set something up! I have a lot of late afternoon availability for walks and check ins! Available weekends as well. I have a lot of experience with both cats and dogs! I have a great yard for pets if they are boarding otherwise I am happy to go on walks, runs, hikes, and will make sure your pet has a great time with me!

“This was our first time using Rover. Arianna was very responsive to initial request and made a pre-visit meet and greet. She visited daily as requested and sent pictures of our kitties. We would 100% recommend Arianna and will request her again.”

“Amber provided last minute care for our animals when we had to go out of town. She cared for our two cats, and seven chickens/ducks, with only a couple of days notice. Amber sent us updates about our animals, and we knew they were in good hands. We would recommend her for any pet-sitting needs.”

“We have found Tara to be a wonderful caregiver for our two cats. Her communication is excellent, And we really appreciate the obvious care she puts into her duties.”

About: I've been professionally pet sitting for 2 years and doing it on the side for several more years. I am a CVT and used work in the ICU, so I know what to look out for on a day to day basis. I have a german shepherd and 2 cats at home who are my babies. I work Mon-Fri until 3:30pm but am able to do drop ins and walks afterwards and over the weekends. I love taking my own dog for hikes and exploring the area. I'm comfortable working with timid dogs and helping with training young dogs with my gentle touch. I have trained my own dog and he's doing great.

“Shana did an amazing job loving on my boys!! She came twice a day to feed and walk them. They were very well taken care of; she was very flexible, prompt, communicative, and always stayed the full duration (I have camera and monitors in my house so I know!!). My boys were extremely happy to see her which allowed me to enjoy my vacation in peace. ? I will absolutely work with Shana for all of my future trips!!! I couldn’t be more happy with her care and kindness.”

“Kelly is very attentive and takes time to interact with our cats who are timid of strangers. Received daily photos of our cats which showed how quickly they warmed up to Kelly. Feel very comfortable having Kelly take care of our cats…will use her again without hesitation!”

“Lani was a wonderful pet sitter for our cats. She was friendly and compassionate. The cats loved her. She sent updates and photos daily. Pets are in excellent hands with her!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’ve had pets growing up as well as currently, and have often watched dogs for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable with different types of animals and have experience caring not only for dogs and cats, but also horses and chickens. I’m attentive, calm, and very respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. I work remotely as a full-time artist and content creator, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I travel full-time in my camper van, which actually makes it easy for me to stay close by when caring for pets. When house sitting, I park in the driveway and stay nearby so I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day and evening. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and naturally build my routine around their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, walks, and any special care needs. Because I stay in my camper van parked at the home, I’m nearby and available throughout the day and night if your pet needs anything. I aim to keep their routine consistent so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of both the home and the animal’s personality and boundaries. I’m also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Adrienne did a great job looking after my 2 kitties. It was their first time being left alone and they managed well with the drop-in play times. The photo updates were great and I could tell my girls liked her visits and were happy when I returned.”

About: I've worked with dogs of all ages both personally and professionally. From puppy to seniors. I've raised my own from 6 weeks old into adulthood so aware of training from a young age. Have worked with older dogs who need extra care and special instructions. I am active so can do plenty of walks or runs or whichever to accommodate your fur baby's energy. I appreciate when I have detailed instructions so I can take better care of an animal, really get to know them and not throw them off of their routine. Every one's happy and wins! I love doing photo sessions so you'll get plenty of photos and videos! If you would like for me to pet/house sit, I am very conscious and respectful of homes. It will be like I was never there! My house stays clean so yours will definitely be! I love all the animals! The skittish and grumpy ones get even more special care because its my mission to make them all my friends! I have never owned anything other than a dog, cat and fish but have taken care of exotic fishes and reptiles. Open to all animals! Also willing to discuss rates since I'm new to the area. My rates are priced at the care and quality that I know I give but would like to see what works for everyone out here! :) Going to school and mainly work from home so I would work around you and your babys schedules! My schedule will change at some point but I will update this to reflect that. Completely open to dates if Im not booked and even if I am, I would try to help with visitation instead. I like to run when my knee allows, but for sure walks or no walks, if thats what your doggo needs. They'll be along side either way! I don't own any pets right now so I can fully focus on your babies! If you prefer your baby to have company, I can always find them a friend to join our party.I normally prefer to start with a meet and greet so all parties are comfortable. Open to any requests and normally ask for detailed instructions. Completely comfortable with having/walking multiple animals at once.The more the merrier!
