Cat Sitting Herkimer

About: Ive taken care of dogs my whole life but i love all kinds of pets ive had them since i was born and i even have my own Boston terrier named Kona and a cloud calico named turnip I stay at home and my husband works Sat-Mon we have the rest of the days free and will be able to drop in or walks Tues-Fri Me and my husband take our pets with us everywhere we love to include where we can and we love them like our own children we always try to keep everything as clean as possible

About: Quality pet care, mixed with love, exercise, fun, and safety. That is what I'm all about. I have loved pets since was younger, and first started working with pets as a pet sitter/dog walker. I loved getting to know fur babies and what makes them happiest. I like bringing new buddies home for Lui and mostly I like helping people have a little more time by taking amazing care of their loved ones while at work. I'm happiest when I'm with my pup Lui. He's soon to be 2 years old and still is my spoiled little boy. The love I have for Lui is the love your baby will get when booking with me. We go on walks, we learn new tricks, and get lots of exercise! The more energy the better! I've also had experience dealing with pets with anxiety or aggressive tendencies. Not new to taking my time to build trust and offering a separate space to a dog who needs it. I have cameras in my house offer peace of mind that your loved one is safe & see all the fun we have when indoors, like TV time or tug of war. It's always a fun time and I'm always here for it. I organize my schedule mostly to work with pets full time, my work occupies me from 4 AM to about noon and work 5 minutes from my house with liberty to stop in at any point. Most days I am here through the mornings too so your furry loved ones get undivided attention. I only book dogs in time blocks of 5 hours, so I am never over crowded when it comes to boarding or day care. I like to be sure each pet is taken care of personally and effectively. Pet-Sitting: Often this service for me changes based on owner preference. It requires more in depth detail about the home life of the pet. One reason for this is to ensure I am not interrupting any routines the pet may have. Boarding & Day Care: I treat all pets as if they were my very best friend. We have tv time together (Dog TV), we go on two 30 minute walks within the 5 hour time block. We even eat meals together. Being that my yard is unfenced I personally walk the dogs on leash for 30-45 minutes. Meals for pets are based on owner specifications. Overnight boarding being different in a sense of they get one night walk before bed time/wind down time. They are uncrated (unless the owner specifies to do so), so they have full use of the living area and pets are allowed to be on the furniture purchased for them (Although I am not new to waking up and them being on the couch!)

“I booked Kara on a fairly last minute notice. I had a house sitter while I was away but due to his work schedule I wanted to make it easier on him and less stressful on my dogs by keeping their feeding and outside schedule closer to what they are used to. Kara communicated very well and sent pictures daily when she was at the house. I would definitely consider her for additional services like walking or boarding.”

“She is reliable and kept the schedule. Would definitely recommend her and use her services again!”

About: I have had multiple different pets through my entire life ranging from big to small. I have petsat multiple times throughout my life and in the past six months. I dogsat within the past two months, carrying for an elderly dog that required extra assistance and an adult dog. I’ve owned cats all 20 years of my life. I have a deep and immense passion for caring for them, and showing them attention as well as providing company to them. I live with three cats, ranging from kitten to senior cat, one a rescued stray. I provide them with the best life possible, with love and care. i have had ill pets that required medicine in the past, and administer medicine for my current cats routinely as well as basic care such as feeding, cleaning after, brushing, replacing food and water regularly, clipping their nails, letting them in and out of the house as needed, and bathing if needed. :) Each day I feed my 3 cats of all ages, and place out fresh multiple times throughout the day. I also regularly change the litter box, clip their nails, administer medicine such as flea prevention medication, and show them love and attention when they allow it. One of my cats requires patience and attention as she suffers from anxiety and does not like to be around people as a result.

About: Hi! I'm a huge animal lover and would love the opportunity to care for your pets. I have a pit bull/Lab mix of my own, so I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I've also cared for my nanny family's dog, so I'm comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, keeping up with routines, and giving medications if needed. I'm happy caring for pets of any age or size. I decided to join Rover because I'm looking for a summer job doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love spending time with animals, and I know every pet has their own personality, so I'm happy to be patient and let them warm up at their own pace. I'll treat your pets the way I'd want someone to treat my own, with lots of care, attention, and love. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I'm always happy to send pictures and check in while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! i am currently not employed . I am taking a break, staying with family for the summer so i have lots of availability for whenever im needed ! I currently reside in a two bedroom apartment that i can assure you is taken care of and clean! I have one very friendly dog to keep your baby company! She has plenty of treats and toys she'd love to share! I also have a crate available for your dog if they would need it!

About: My name is Jazmyn. I am a cat mom to a precious boy named Church. I am a former dog groomer, now working from home as a sales executive for a national recycling company. Beyond my 3 years in the grooming salon, I have also volunteered at the local animal shelter and have become a pet sitter for my family and friends. My work schedule is 9AM to 5PM, I can be available before 9AM and after 5PM. I am off work on weekends which gives me plenty of time for weekend walks/visits. I follow any and all instructions provided to me by pet parents. Feeding schedules, walking schedules, medication dosages, safety precautions, etc. These instructions will be followed to a T.

“Kathryn is very reliable. I will definitely reach out to her in the future.”

“Heather did a wonderful job doing daily drop in visits for my two cats. She sent pictures and videos daily, and followed all of the instructions I left. I was able to relax knowing that my cats were being taken care of by someone who truly cares about animals. I highly recommend Heather!”

About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of different dogs. Parents, friends and family have asked me to care for them while they’re gone. My childhood dog was boxer so have a lot of experience with that breed and I have a pit bull terrier of my own. I am currently home full time, so I’ll have a lot of free time to play and care for your fur babies. Considering I have lots of free time having a dog or a couple dogs to care for isn’t a problem for! I love all animals and treat them like my own! I have a partially fenced yard and a long 100+ ft chain that I could clip onto your dogs collar so they can roam around without getting lose/ running away, they will have their own food and water bowls and be taken out as needed. If your dog needs to be in a crate I have two at home that I could use. I also have a pup of my own that your dog can play with.

“Gabriella has been a true blessing for us this holiday. Having two senior pets with special medical needs, we are constantly worried about them. We were very nervous to leave home, but Gabriella was truly caring, professional, and dedicated. Upon our arrival home, we found Christmas presents for our babies waiting on the table. We are so grateful for the wonderful care our pets received from Gabriella and highly recommend her!”

“Melinda was wonderful with our girls. We have a very fresh Frenchie and Melinda was great with her. She was very communicative and sent super cute pics. Will definitely book her again.”

About: I have 3 years of experience taking care of cats and dogs of a variety of breeds, and have worked with puppies as well as older pets in home environments such as suburbs, cities, and rural areas. I am happy to cater to your pet's special needs, and I focus on respecting each pet's boundaries and getting to know them on a case by case basis, with the hope that they grow to trust me as much as they trust you! Since I am a writer who works remotely, I am open on a weekly basis and am able to be flexible in order to meet your scheduling requirements. I work hard to ensure that your pet's personal boundaries are not crossed while we take time to get to know each other. I especially care about learning their preferences in order to earn their favor and eventually their trust. Depending on each pet, I try to be very sensitive to any shifts in their mood or behavior, such as if they get anxiety when left alone or are afraid of loud weather.

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 5 years old, starting with my first cat, Rosie, and over time I’ve gained hands-on experience with both kittens and senior cats. I’ve raised four kittens (three rescues) myself, so I’m very familiar with the patience, attention, and consistency needed for young pets. Additionally, I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, through the care of my own pups and friends’. I have lots of experience caring for senior pets, including administering medications, managing special diets, and assisting with more advanced care such as subcutaneous (IV) fluids. Because of this, I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or health and can provide a higher level of care for pets with medical needs. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their comfort, safety, and overall well-being. I work as a Medical Assistant full time on weekdays from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, but my evenings and weekends are wide open, giving me plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m based in Utica and am happy to travel as needed for drop-in visits, walks, or longer stays. This schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care while being attentive to pets’ needs. I provide care either in my pet-friendly, secure residence (keycard access) or in the client’s home, depending on their needs. I am flexible and attentive to any special requests, and I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including administering medications and managing special diets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.
