Cat Sitting Good Hope

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, and over the years, I've gained hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. My experience goes beyond everyday pet care. I've attended obedience training classes with several of my own dogs and worked closely with a professional dog trainer to better understand canine behavior, body language, and the individual needs of each animal. This has helped me develop a patient, attentive approach to caring for dogs with different personalities, including those who may need extra time, reassurance, or structure to feel comfortable. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special medical needs. My experience includes administering oral medications, assisting with post-surgery recovery, caring for rescue puppies, and helping dogs work through separation anxiety. I also have experience providing overnight care for cats, including feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and helping a rescued kitten adjust to a new home. At home, I'm a proud pet parent to Nala, my 11-year-old Greyhound/Shepherd mix, and Koda, my 5-month-old Chiweenie! We also share our home with my roommates' two senior dogs, giving me daily experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. Living in a multi-dog household has taught me the importance of recognizing each dog's individual needs, understanding their body language, and maintaining a safe, comfortable environment where every dog feels loved and secure. I'm a firm believer that every pet deserves more than just the basics. Whether it's reinforcing their favorite tricks, enjoying a walk, engaging in playtime, or providing extra affection, I make an effort to connect with each animal and understand what makes them happy. I also know how important routine and consistency are to a pet's well-being. When caring for someone else's furry family member, one of my first priorities is learning their established schedule, habits, and preferences so I can provide a familiar, comfortable experience while their owner is away. I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I'm an early bird, usually starting my day around 5 a.m., and I currently work part-time three days a week with a fairly flexible schedule. This allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week and accommodate a variety of schedules. Caring for my own dogs is already an important part of my daily routine, so incorporating walks and drop-in visits for your furry family members is something I genuinely look forward to! I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and I'll do my best to accommodate their established feeding, walking, and bathroom schedules. Whether your pet needs an early morning potty break, a midday walk, or some extra attention and companionship while you're away, I'm happy to discuss a schedule that works for you and your pet's needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that feels familiar and reassuring. Before caring for your pet, I'll make sure I understand their feeding and bathroom schedules, medical needs, behavioral tendencies, and any household rules or special instructions. I believe maintaining consistency is especially important when their favorite humans are away, and I'll do my best to keep their daily routine as normal as possible. For pets who may be shy or anxious, I take a calm, patient, and confident approach. I never want an animal to feel pressured into interacting with me. Instead, I give them the space to observe, explore, and approach me when they're comfortable, allowing trust to develop naturally. I'm also comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. During walks and drop-in visits, I'll remain attentive to your pet's behavior, comfort, and surroundings to help ensure they have a safe and positive experience. And one of my favorite parts of pet sitting? Sending photo updates! I love capturing those little moments that let you see what your furry family member is up to while you're away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands.

“Ana Claudia took great care of my cats. There was plenty of food available for them when I arrived home and the litter boxes were all clean. Best of all, she spent time playing with them and giving them love. She sent pictures of them having a good time.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets ever since I was 12. I’ve also had experience with puppies and elderly dogs. Family and friends always rely on me to take care of their dogs while on vacation and I’d say I do a pretty good job! I am currently home for college and would love to pet sit for anyone in need of a sitter. Anytime works for me. I’d be happy to help! I usually like to give dogs a walk if they’re up for it. I give them food and make sure they’re well fed. I also give them baths on occasion!

“As a first time cat owner, we (my husband and I) were very unsettled about leaving her with a complete stranger. We needn't have worried. Kimberly was truly the "cat whisperer" for both my cat and us. Kimberly sent pictures communicated with us every day. We really can't thank her enough. She even trimmed Lollipop's nails!”

About: I've always had a family dog since I was born. I'm responsible and have house-sat many times over the years for friends and friends of friends. I'm currently in college, so I have evenings and early mornings available. As well as Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I can stay overnight or just come by a few times a day. I focus heavily on the health and happiness of my own pets, this includes regular vet visits, choosing healthy food options, and providing enrichment (either by providing things for them to do without me, or playing with them throughout the day).

“Highly recommend Shaun! It’s clear they genuinely care about animals and took great care of our dogs while we were away for the evening. Everything went smoothly, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands!”

“I think she’s very nice and would be great for my dog.”

“If you are looking for an experienced, trustworthy, compassionate clean, hands on pet lover with the best vibes to watch your furry baby, I just ? found one! Even my weirdo skittish cat likes her instantly! That was my sign! I handed her my keys and knew I had nothing to worry about. I was right. She kept me updated and I was able to have a relaxing vacation without worrying what was happening at home. Thank you Maria. You are fantastic ❤️‍?”

About: I know what it’s like to be an anxious mom to a furbaby and wonder if your pet sitter will show up the way you need them to. I have had four dogs since the age of 12 and love them more than anything else! I also had 3 cats when I was younger :) I will do everything in my power to show your babies love and give them top rated care! I currently have open availability and pet sitting is my sole job. I am able to care for senior pets and provide pills as well. :) reach out with any questions! I just moved here from Chicago and right now I’m just babysitting so I haven’t a lot of flexibility and time to care for your baby! I do not offer services at my home at this time but look forward to working with your pets and providing them with the highest level of care and adhering to all routines

About: Of all animals I have the most experience with dogs. I love dogs all shapes and sizes We've always had a dog at home and I have lots of experience, caring for playing with and walking dogs, including bath time. I'm a recent graduate of heritage high school. I took agriculture at school and worked with the animals on our school farm I'm looking to do rover as often as possible. I don't have any other obligations at this time. So I can dedicate myself to your pets. I am very careful about fences and doors. I'm mindful of owner instructions regarding where their pets can be. And where they are not allowed. I am mindful of them while they are eaten. And while they are playing, to make sure that they remain safe. I checked the pavement before I take a dog out on walks to make sure it's not too hot and always make sure to wash their bowls so that I can help prevent bacteria

About: I have over 30 years of experience with dogs and cats that were just born babies to fully grown and elderly. Growing up, my family would take in pets whos owners had past away. This included many different breeds, but also most of them were elderly that needed some extra love and care. I also had my own range of pets from fish to frogs to mice to geckos growing up and of course cats and dogs. I have 6 years as a desert tortoise biologist and love all kinds of pets. I recently started a part time job, so I am flexible and mostly at the house. I am able to board pets starting from 5pm to 8pm and can start daycare for most days at 7am. We have a yard with a fenced off runner and a separate grassy area for your pups to play in and do their business. We do have a cat, but we have a gate that can separate the upstairs from the downstairs. We have plenty of room for kennels or crates if your fur baby needs them.

About: I've owned dogs and cats my entire life and also guinea pigs, rats, mice, snakes, lizards, turtles, newts, fish, horses, and more. I always encouraged my children's love of animals and so we had 14 pets at one point. I've owned mostly small and medium size dogs but I am not afraid of large breeds, I find most them are absolute sweethearts. I love all animals and understand the stress both you and they go through when you are away and I want to give them all the love and support they need for you both to feel relaxed while you are away. Whether they stay with me or I stay at your house, I promised they will be well taken care of and loved.

About: So i’ve dealt with dogs since I was kid. I pop in to take care of my parents dogs from time to time which is a tiny mutt and a husky. Currently I own a inu, but I do have experience with dealing with dogs of all sizes. I genuinely have a love for them. I am extremely patient and caring as well as careful. So i’m usually available most of the week to take care of dogs. I try to walk my own dog daily, and i make sure there is food and water. Generally daily walks and just basic care works for my dog, but I have taken care of other’s people’s dogs that did require more care or more attention. I’m generally a fast learner and very attentive to my dog’s needs and others.

About: I’ve cared for my neighbors’ and friends’ pets for years! I absolutely love dogs and cats and have a very flexible schedule. I have experience caring for birds, farm animals, rodents, and other pets as well. I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to give pets plenty of love and attention while their owners are away! I’m currently commuting to a nearby college, with classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I’m available in the afternoons on those days, and I’m otherwise very flexible and open to caring for your pets! I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in my home, I offer a safe, loving environment with plenty of space to relax and play! I have a spacious fenced backyard and my own pups, who can provide a fun playmate if your pet is comfortable around other dogs. For stays in your home, I follow all care instructions closely and make sure your pet gets plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, treats, and love. I want every pet to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and quirks. Whether your fur baby is a professional couch potato, a four-legged tornado, or somewhere in between, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and little things that make them comfortable. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, exercise, playtime, and, of course, plenty of attention and belly rubs. I’m also comfortable caring for pets who need a little extra patience or supervision. My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while they wait for their favorite human to return. I’m currently a full-time student, but most of my classes are online, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time. This allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and giving your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the care and companionship they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and make sure they feel comfortable with me and their surroundings. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could create a safety concern. I also keep you updated while you’re away and am happy to send photos or check in so you know your pet is doing well. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

“Crystal was amazing!!🤗 She made me, and my baby Keanu feel welcomed right away! During my kitties stay she would send me pictures, and videos without me even asking. I could tell my baby was having such a blast, and was super relaxed in her home while I was on vacation🥹🙏🏽 Keanu will definitely be staying with her for all my future vacations. thanks again Crystal!!”

About: I've grown up with dogs, raised my 3 adult children around dogs. Just welcomed a dachshund into our home. He's sleep / crate trained and fully potty trained. His current schedule is sleeping through the night 7pm to 6am and is in his crate for 3 90min to 2 hour naps a day. When he's awake he's home with us. I'm hoping to offer overnight and Wknd per care for 1 other small / medium dog where my dachshund can accompany me. This gives me time away from my busy household to earn extra money for my family. I will cater to unique walking, sleeping, feeding and care schedules. I'm very active and looking forward to having a walking buddy for myself and my pup.

About: Hi, my name is Gianna, i’m 18 years old. I have much experience with dogs, my family owns many dogs, one of each size. I can promise your animals will be safe with me, i also get along very well with cats, i have one of my own. I’ve understood that cats take very long to get used to and comfortable around new people and i am patient enough for that. Every morning before work, i let my aunts 4 dogs outside. i fill their food and water bowls as i take them out around 9 am. i bring in my aunts Argentinian dogo’s food bowl at 5pm (very big dog btw LOL) and throw in extra boiled chicken that they have made for him already. I try to help as much as i can with them. I care for pets by ensuring their physical, emotional, and social needs are met, whether in my own home or a client’s. This includes feeding them the right diet, providing fresh water, and offering daily exercise through walks or play. I also monitor their health for any signs of discomfort. I always make sure I create a safe, comfortable environment for my clients pet it is a top priority. I also communicate closely with pet owners to ensure all specific care instructions are followed and address any concerns promptly.
