Laura is a fabulous cat sitter. She’s always on time and follows instructions but most of all she truly cares for Mimi and Smoochie. She’s kind, compassionate and patient. I’d give her 10 stars!!!

Went on vacation for a week and needed someone to feed my cats every night. My cats are pretty unique so the feeding procedure is not the easiest. Followed every detail to the T. Very grateful!

About: I have grown up around animals and have had both dogs and cats my whole life, as well as various types of small animals. I spent the last year working as an attendant at a Dog Daycare and Boarding center where I learned a lot more about caring for dogs in addition to my previous dog sitting experience. I have experience working with and handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels, specifically large dogs with lots of energy. I have a lot of patience for dogs who get anxious while their families are away and can help them feel as comfortable as possible. I rode horses for 10 years and For several years I worked leading pony rides and handling farm animals for a traveling petting zoo which has given me a well rounded understanding for taking care of animals in general. I am a college graduate and in college I would often take care of my friend’s animals when they were in class or away. At the moment I only have a cat and would love to get to spend more time with dogs again. I work in theatre as a prop and paint artist and a lot of jobs in the field are for a couple weeks at a time and are not always the most consistent. I have full availability on the weekends and have a very flexible schedule during the week, specifically in the morning and evenings but also can likely do mid day. I have helped my sister train her dog and can help continue any training and/or rules you have for your dog while walking and taking care of them. I can keep a close eye on them if they are likely to get into trouble or things they’re not supposed to. I will give your pets lot of love and attention while you’re away. I can also play with your dogs and help get their energy out during the day. My dog is very playful and I often have to run around with him in the yard and play with him in the house to help him calm down.

About: I've had dogs my whole life. They're such a big part of me and I absolutely love meeting them. I'll follow any specifacation you may have for your dog. I love taking walks and playing with them. I will also feed additional pets that you may have or clean yards if needed. I am currently in college in the afternoon for an few hours on monday through thursday. I can stay at the owner's house if needed. However, I can also do visits to feed and let out if that is more comfortable for the owner. I often like to go on walk with dogs I am taking care of, they are always on the leash on these walks. I also enjoy going out in the yard to play with them. I am not opposed to crates.

About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. At one point we had 4 dogs in the house! I am a dog-lover above all, but I also LOVE cats and understand them and their boundaries. I look forward to making new furry friends :) I currently work part-time on Saturdays and am a grad student during the Fall and Spring. Pet care is an AWESOME addition to my open schedule! I have overnight “cat-sat” on and off for the last two years. I do not leave any messes and am respectful of others’ spaces. I keep to myself and read books or do homework online when I stay the night somewhere—as well as hanging with critters!! I am professional and respectful about the work I do🩷

Thank you again for taking good care of my kitty! Kelly is great she plays with my cat and pets her. It puts my mind at ease knowing my cat is getting more than just food while I am gone. She is getting attention and hopefully feeling more secure about me being away. I think my kitty really likes Kelly because the next day after I return she looks out the glass door a number of times meowing around the time of day Kelly comes. So I think she is looking for her! Kelly is great I recommend her!

About: Hi, I'm Courtney! Though I don't currently own a dog, my love for caring for animals, both cats and dogs, knows no bounds. I dream of becoming a pet mom to a lovely doggo one day! I work a full time job from Monday to Thursday in Middletown, but I am available on the weekends to provide dedicated care for your furry friends. My home is pet friendly, and since I live alone, I can give your pets the attention they deserve. I live in a gated apartment with a spacious courtyard and plenty of grassy areas for playtime. I currently have a very cuddly and fluffy cat who comfortably stay in another room if needed to ensure a harmonious environment for all pets.

Madison was so friendly, professional, and reliable. Our standoffish cat warmed up to her right away, which is a better review than anything I could write. We can't wait to book her for a longer stay!
