Cat Sitting Gringo

“Trudy took great care of my grumpy cat, she is reliable and kind!!”

Becca P.

“Great service and very responsive before during and after. Always kept us updated to date and respectful of our time and home. Kept us informed with our pets and cared for them as if they were her own. Highly recommend”

“Corinne is truely an exceptional Pet Sitter. She was our best Christmas present, as we booked her last minute (after a scheduled visit was cancelled). Our 20 yr. old kitty, normally pretty shy with strangers, fell in love with her on 1st meeting and let Corinne hold & pet her on every visit. She was the best communicator, sending lots of pictures and short messages. We are so happy and thankful to have found Corinne and will definitely book her again!”

“Chelsea was amazing and helped me out at the last minute when I really needed someone. She was incredibly responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated throughout the visit and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her!”

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and have been actively responsible for their care for the past five years. Growing up, my household consistently cared for up to ten dogs at a time, including working dogs, show dogs, and family pets. I have experience with dogs ranging from newborn puppies to seniors and from small breeds to dogs over 100 pounds. I have assisted with six successful litters from birth through early development, helping with monitoring, handling, and daily care of the puppies. I am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, maintaining structured feeding routines, and supporting crate and potty training when appropriate. I have experience introducing young, non-aggressive dogs to others in a controlled setting. I also regularly care for senior dogs, including those with mobility challenges. Currently, I have one dog living with me full time. He is a 35-pound Mini Australian Shepherd who is neutered, fully vaccinated, and has graduated from service animal training. My goal is to provide calm, structured, and attentive care so dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently a student at RMU and run my own photography business, so my schedule is great to give me time to play with your pups! I am typically home in the mornings and evenings, with breaks between classes during the day depending on the semester. I am available for boarding on the weekends at any time with weekdays being after 5pm everyday but Monday and Wednesday. When boarding, I do not leave dogs for extended periods without planning around their needs, and I make sure potty breaks and exercise are built into my schedule. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on structure, supervision, and a calm environment. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, regular potty breaks, and daily exercise appropriate to each dog, with regular visits to local dog parks. Pets are never left unattended with access to unsafe items, and I monitor interactions closely, especially during introductions, including the use of cameras while out of the house. I have experience managing multi-dog households and understand the importance of slow, controlled introductions. My own Mini Australian Shepherd is well-trained and calm indoors. When boarding dogs, I prioritize compatibility and supervision. For cats, I maintain clear separation and provide quiet, designated spaces so they feel secure and stress-free. I keep my living space clean, organized, and free of hazards. Water is always available, and I follow all owner instructions carefully, including dietary needs and medication administration. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the space as if it were my own. I follow feeding, walking, and care instructions exactly as provided, maintain cleanliness, and provide updates so owners feel confident and informed while they are away. I also run my own photography business, so I love capturing moments while pets are in my care and you are certain to get photos of your pet.

“Thanks you for dropping in on Abby and Bailey!”

About: I’ve lived with cats my entire life and have cared for nine cats over the years, so understanding cats of all personalities comes very naturally to me. I genuinely enjoy caring for cats across the full range of temperaments—from social and playful to quiet and independent—and I approach every visit with calm attentiveness and respect for each cat’s individual style. I’m also very familiar with dogs and their care, having helped care for dogs since childhood. I’m comfortable with small, well-mannered adult dogs and focus on keeping visits safe, predictable, and low-stress. In addition to cats and dogs, I have experience caring for small animals, including a fire-bellied lizard, fish, and parakeets. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and understand the importance of consistency and gentle handling for animals with specialized routines. During visits, I always provide updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident they’re being well cared for. My goal is to offer reliable, thoughtful care that helps pets feel secure and comfortable in their own homes while their people are away. Pet care fits into my routine in a structured and predictable way. On weekdays, I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks after work between 5:45–7:00 PM. On weekends, I’m available Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, which allows for more flexibility. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and I’m happy to do walks as long as weather conditions are safe. I do not offer overnight care. My schedule is consistent, and I’m careful to only accept bookings I can reliably and comfortably accommodate. All care takes place in the client’s home—I do not offer boarding, daycare, or in-home care at my residence. I follow written care instructions exactly and prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. For transparency, I occasionally bring my toddler with me on drop-in visits; for safety, pets and child are always kept separate, with no direct interaction. I do not introduce client pets to other people or animals. During each visit, I complete basic safety checks such as ensuring doors are secure, food and water needs are met, litter boxes or potty routines are handled, and the overall environment feels calm and safe. I communicate promptly if anything seems out of the ordinary and always provide updates so pet parents can feel confident their pets are well cared for.

About: I have been taking care of neighbors, friends, & family pets since I was in middle school. I own two very unique cats, Daemon & Love that i adore & keep me busy sometimes. I love taking dogs or cats on walks. I used to love having my dog go on a run with me, but she has long since passed away. She wasn't the best at some dog commands from training, but she did enjoy getting a treat when she did listen. My work schedule is flexible during the week due to my level. I typically can come anytime in the early morning to about 10am & then evenings after 6pm. If someone is very close by, I can stop over during a lunch break as well around 2pm. I live in a two story condo, so my cats typically have run of my house. I adapt to anyone's preferences & home environment to care for their family fur baby to make sure they are comfortable while someone ia away.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a special love for them. Growing up with dogs has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m patient, caring, and dependable, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving belly rubs, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, loved, and well cared for. I’m available Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 7 PM, and weekends from 11 AM to 8 PM for walks, visits, and loving pet care. I create a safe, trusted, and welcoming environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and cared for with patience, attention, and respect like they are family.

“I have used Denyal multiple times to do drop in visits for my kitties. She does a great job and my cats love her. So glad we have someone we can trust and our cats like when we go away.”

About: I've always enjoyed being around animals, and over the years I've had the chance to care for both dogs and cats for family. I've watched my girlfriend's family's three senior cats (now 15, 14, and 21 years old) several times while they've been out of town, making sure they're fed, have fresh water, and keeping their litter boxes clean. Caring for a 21-year-old cat has taught me how important patience and consistency are with senior pets. I've also cared for my brothers' dogs—a 5-year-old Siberian Husky and a 7-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix—sometimes for several days at a time. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving them plenty of attention. I'm comfortable with high-energy dogs as well as older cats and always treat every pet like they're my own. I'm currently a full-time student finishing my last semester of college while working part time as a digital forensics intern. During the summer, my internship is Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and I'm available for pet care anytime after my internship each day. Once the fall semester begins, my internship is on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 4:00 p.m. I'm also available most evenings and weekends, so I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work around you and your pet's needs. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or visiting them in theirs, I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and boundaries, so I never force attention or affection if they are not comfortable. I believe pets should be able to approach and interact on their own terms. I make sure their needs are met through feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, litter box cleaning, and plenty of patience. I always follow the owner's instructions and treat every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

“Kathryn was great with our cats (who warmed up to her faster than their usual), communicated super well, and was fastidious about care and cleaning. Would love to work with her again!”

“David is the perfect sitter! You can tell he really knows and loves cats. I treat my cats like babies, and I felt totally safe having him look after them. He was so caring and made sure they were comfortable. I’m really grateful for the peace of mind he gave me!🐈🐈‍⬛”

“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”

About: Hi! My name is Nicole, and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion. Between over 20 years of pet ownership experience and having worked as a veterinary technician for 9 years, I understand that pets are family and deserve attentive, compassionate care when their owners are away. My family consists of a menagerie of animals, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of species and their unique care needs. Our family currently includes an older dog with medication requirements, two ferrets, several bearded dragons, and a crested gecko. Whether your pet needs medication administration, enrichment, feeding, or simply lots of love and attention, I understand the importance of following routines and providing dependable care. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and responsive. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I am studying for the Pennsylvania Bar Exam, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care routines and visit times. In my own home, I care for and feed our pets daily, typically in the morning or afternoon, so I am accustomed to maintaining consistent schedules and following specific care instructions. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, afternoon check-ins, evening care, medication administration, or a customized routine, I am happy to work with you to meet your pet's individual needs and your preferred schedule. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care that fits seamlessly into your pet's daily routine. I cannot bring furry animals to our home as I have an older, reactive dog. If you give me instructions, I will make sure I meet their needs because every pet is different.

About: I have had pets of my own all of my life and currently have a cat of my own named Nala. I have years of experience with animals of all sizes and personalities and can provide references if desired. I am a manager at a doggy daycare/boarding facility and have been employed there for going on 5 years now, so I am well-trained and make sure to focus on key details in your pet care instructions. I also have experience conducting puppy classes where I work with them on basic commands, such as sit, stay, come, down. I am excited to meet your pet and give them the best and most trustworthy care around! I am a mother and part-time employee. My availability varies depending on schedules, however, I am happy to discuss your needs and work around schedules to fit you in! I provide a very safe and loving environment when I am with your pets! I am trained in medication administration for both cats and dogs and have 4+ years of experience in a high-volume setting handling anywhere from 15-50 dogs at once, so rowdy pets are no issue! I make sure to not only care for your pets, but insure the safety and security of your home as well!

About: I've had multiple dogs and cats my whole life and they have all been my best friends! We like to cuddle, go on walks and learn new skills. I'm no stranger to pets of all different personalities and know how to meet them where they are. I'm experienced in providing insulin to dogs and topical treatment to cats. I don't currently have pets of my own but have spent weeks looking after the cats and dogs of friends and family. I love those times that I'm able to bond with their fur babies and would love to get to know yours as well! I currently work remotely and can be available for boarding throughout the week and weekend. I'm available to hangout with your pets, take them on walks or bathroom breaks, feed times or personal enrichment, whatever they may need. I have a backyard that pets can run around in, it is fenced on one side only so they would need to have a long leash for safety. I don't have other pets so they wouldn't have any problems there! If coming to your home I'm happy to go by the rules that you set and the comfort levels that you have. I always find pets do best in their comfort zones anyway and I'm excited to meet them where they are!

“Kristen came in clutch! We made a last-minute decision to extend our vacation and booked an Airbnb in the small town of Cadiz where sitter selection was sparse. Kristen responded to my request immediately and was willing to drive 30 minutes after work to take care of Bogey. The visit was flawless, she followed directions perfectly, and we returned to a happy dog. His bully looks were no issue for her either. I also appreciated the pics she sent. We felt comfortable leaving his care in her hands and would do so again. Maybe with more than 7 hours notice next time ?”
