Cat Sitting Hayford

About: As a young kid, my family bred Saint Bernards. By all means, I am from a "dog family." I grew up walking, feeding, cleaning stalls, etc. dogs much larger than me. Eventually and gradually we would adopt several mixed-breed dogs and other strays who we loved just as much as our Saints. On top of this, however, I was also proud to be responsible for a beautiful, sassy cat, from a younger kitty to her golden years. Moreover, some friends and I spent time trapping feral cats in West Central Spokane, specifically around where we lived and worked, then taking them to PetSavers for spay/neutering, and working to rehome them. I enjoy "working" with all kinds of dogs and cats. This includes seniors, those with health conditions, or those who simply benefit from extra patience and extra attention. You may already see me walking dogs in Cheney and Airway Heights. I would be glad to get to know your pet family and learn what everyone likes best and wants most. I currently work as a "hand" maintaining a lower-maintenance property in the greater Spokane County. This arrangement is semi-formal and provides ample flexibility in my schedule to meet the needs of your pet family. Each home and family is different, and expresses their love for the pet family in different ways. I am glad to meet your pet family where you are all at, and give us an opportunity to get to know each other. I talk low and slow by default, but can easily match the energy of your pet family. Dogs will enjoy their walks and time together and return a happy camper :-) Cats will have a dedicated eye on them and if your cat is a playful or affectionate type, their need to socialize will be met. I can usually coax most shy cats into some socializing or play time, and cats who are "protective" of one thing or another, and maybe not as friendly, still will also get ample care and attention.

“Elie did a great job at a last-minute request to do drop in visits for my cat! She was very communicative and made me feel comfortable that Boggs, my cat, was well taken care of.”

Amanda K.

“Jennifer is reliable and makes sure our cats are fed and played with every time she visits. We plan to continue to book her whenever we need help! Thanks Jennifer! (I am a Rover employee)”

“Kathryn was an excellent choice to do drop in checks feeding and litter box cleaning while we were away. She sent us photos of each visit and a check list of what was done including time of arrival and departure. We highly reccomend her and we hope she'll be available to when we have to be away again.”

“Alexys was amazing! She took my last minute booking request and our cat loved her! She was on time and took lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend her and rebook her again.”

“Alexandra has proved herself to be a great cat-sitter. She followed our cat care instructions very well. She spent time with them in the evening/night when they get the most lonely(they sleep most of the day), gave them wet food on schedule, checked their water fountains, dry food dispensers and litter robot to make sure they were in order, and cleaned up after Boo when he puked. When we came home, the cats seemed emotionally very well and cared for. I could tell she had spent the right amount of time with them and given them enough attention, because they were not upset, stressed or angry at me for leaving them as they would be if they had not been attended to sufficiently. Alexandra was also very kind to our apartment while she was over, leaving it very clean. Best of all, she was easy to communicate with while we were away. I definitely recommend her as a pet sitter!”

Melissa R.

“It gave me such peace of mind to have Jackie stay with my fur baby while I was on vacation for 2 weeks. It was the longest I’ve ever left him and I was feeling guilty about it. Jackie kept good care of my boy and sent pictures and updates regularly. He was happy and healthy upon my return and my apartment was well taken care of! I wouldn’t hesitate to book Jackie again.”

Tracy M.

“We have booked Kimi for several visits now and she is wonderful! She checks in and makes sure our cat is healthy and happy when we are our of town. Kimi has been very flexible with our sometimes crazy travel schedules and we are very appreciative.”

About: I grew up around animals, especially many dogs. I’d always take care of my families pets, help my dad out whenever he would dog sit. Even now, I love animal sitting for friends whenever I get the chance! I’m currently in the military so my schedule is pretty consistent. I’m able to do any kind of animal care anytime after work, on the weekends, even holidays! I own a big dog and a cat so I’m very familiar with any kind of cat needs and how to take care and make sure the animals are cared for!

“Great communication! Able to book last minute for the Thanksgiving holiday. Thanks so much taking care of Carl!”

Christopher G.

“We have used Jordyn in the past, and she always does an exceptional job. Its so nice to feel confident in leaving our fur babies with her and not have to worry. I would highly recommend her to take great care of yours as well, she's great.”

“First time booking Audrey for house sitting (have booked previously for drop in visits) and I am very happy when I come home to two happy cats and a clean home. Thank you Audrey :)”

About: I’m patient, caring, dependable, reliable and take my dog out on walks every day. I work from home so I will be with your beloved pet at all times. I work from home and have one dog who I walk daily. Most of my time is spent with my dog and if your dog stays with us, they will be with us all day. I do live in an apartment, however, I am active and attentive so I can provide a lot of activity outdoors or spend time with your dog indoors if that’s what they prefer.

About: For the past two decades, I've dedicated my time to caring for my own dogs and assisting in the well-being of family and friends' pets during their absences. Engaging with these animals outdoors brings me immense joy, as I cherish the unique connection formed with each individual. Witnessing the special bond that animals forge with us, just as we are, has been a consistently rewarding experience throughout my years of animal care. Incorporating pet sitting into my routine seamlessly aligns with my full-time job, as I dedicate my lunch break to check on pets. This ensures they receive a midday break, creating an environment where they can enjoy their evenings engaging in activities or simply relaxing, fostering a stronger bond. I specialize in caring for pets within the comfort of their own homes. This familiar environment allows them to feel at ease in their daily routines. I meticulously follow provided care instructions, ensuring the owners feel reassured about their pets' well-being while they are away.

About: I’m a reliable animal lover who enjoys making sure pets are happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I offer drop-in visits to provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, walks if requested, medications (if needed), and lots of attention. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages after every visit. I’m available daily for drop-in visits and will do my best to accommodate your schedule. Whether you’re at work, away for the weekend, or on vacation, I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. I’ll also send photo updates after every visit so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During every visit, I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, refresh food and water, provide potty breaks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect and always send updates and photos so you know exactly how your pet is doing.

“Brandilynn is amazing and has swiftly become our go-to sitter. She is so detail oriented, great in a crisis (of which we had a small one her very first time sitting for us!), and always goes the extra mile! She has an eagle eye and is incredibly attentive and focused on our boys and truly misses (and reports back) absolutely nothing.”

“Dr. Erma was such a help! She picked up a job last minute. I have a cat that needs insulin shots and doesn't like other people and Dr. Erma was able to administer her medication safely while I was away. Dr. Erma was very communicative, professional, and consistent! I got stuck traveling in the Delta glitch and Dr. Erma was so helpful and responsive to extend her times and make sure my cat got her medicine, even though I came home a few days later than was planned. I felt confident having my cat in her care!”
