Cat Sitting in Hillsdale

“Michele did a fantastic job playing with and taking care of my cats. She is very responsive and even watched over my house while I was away. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Loralei did drop in visits 2 x day for 5 days for my 3 pups . Charlie is not particularly fond of people and I was a little nervous about how he’d react but by the end of the second day she had won him over and he followed her outside along with the other 2. She also fed my fish and put bird seed in my feeder every morning. She communicated concerns and reassured me all was well . I recommend her and I will use her again in the future !”

About: I have grown up with dogs before I even had a conscious mind. I have loved dogs and animals in general my whole life. there is nothing more that I would like to do than make an animal feel taken care of. being always surrounded by animals at various ages has given me plenty of different experiences- for example, taking care of a dog with seizures, cancer, diabetes, and more. I have dealt with dogs with high anxiety and managing to keep them at a calm state but I have also dealt with dogs who have more aggression and have learned ways to calm them as well. I truly do have a love for animals beyond anything else. I genuinely enjoy any time I can get with them. there is a 100% guarantee that if there is an animal at someones house..I'm with it. I am looking forward to taking care of everyone's little animals (their children) and providing the best care not only for the pet in need but for the owner to feel reassured that their animal is in good hands. I am currently working four times a week but being able to take care of fur babies has been something I have been wanting to do for the longest time!! so although my schedule can be tight I'm willing to work around it when I can. I used to have three dogs in total in all different sizes. I took care of my dogs as if they were my literal children. at points they were probably too spoiled but I couldn't help it! I always made sure my dogs were fed and went out my way to find the best food that would suit their individual needs. two of my dogs were super anxious especially during any type of storm and I never turned them away, I was willing to do anything to make them feel safe. even if that meant sleeping on the floor or some nights not getting any sleep. more often than not I out my dogs first! one of my dogs loved walks so therefore I took him (and still take him) own a walk everyday and let him take as much time as he needs. I don't believe in hitting or yelling at any animal/using any form of aggression. I am a very empathetic and compassionate person. I am not quick to anger I'm only quick to solve whatever issue may be at hand. and my most important goal to create the best experience I can for the animals and owners.

“Catherine did a great job with my 3 cats, one who is old and on medication. I will definitely have Catherine take care of them again.”

“Sarah was absolutely amazing. I had a cat with health issues and I was so so nervous to leave her. By the second day, I felt I had left her in the perfect hands. Sarah took time every day to find each one of my 3 cats and cater to each of their needs. She texted pictures and funny stories. She even broke though to my most aloof cat. Amazing! I will ABSOLUTELY be using her again and she comes with my HIGHEST of recommendations. Thank you!!!”

About: I have had a wide variety of different types of pets throughout my life such as (snakes, hedgehogs, raccoons, pigs, chickens, etc.). Having learned to care for each and every one of them. Has provided me with substantial knowledge in how to deal with pets whether puppies or full grown large dog breeds. In 2024, I rescued my German shepherd. When we got him he was only 4 months old and in critical condition, suffering from starvation and diseases. Throughout my care I have been able to provide my dog a happy and healthy ongoing life. I’m a full-time college student however, I am currently on summer break and am available at your service 24/7 to provide the best pet care possible. I have several acres of land for your pet to play on as well as a pond for your baby to swim in! Along with 1 very friendly dog for your pup to play with. My yard is unfenced, so pups will be supervised when playing outside. I can crate your pup throughout the night if needed.

About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience and a lifelong love for animals, I bring genuine passion and reliability to every pet I care for. As a dedicated pet parent to two happy, well-loved dogs, I understand the importance of trust, safety, and personalized attention. I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they deserve. As a self-employed bakery owner, I have the flexibility to make my own schedule—meaning I’m available any time of day to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening visits, I can adapt to meet your pet’s needs. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide loving care, and keep your home tidy—ensuring comfort, safety, happiness, and plenty of tail wags while you’re away.

“Kristin is the best cat sitter ever!!! Our cats loved their stay with her so much!! She pampered our babies and treated them so well. Sent videos, pictures, & updates everyday while we were on our trip. I 100% recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again for all future trips.”

“Ellie did such an amazing job caring for our babies while we were away including outstanding communication with messages and pictures each time she visited —it meant so much!!

We will definitely be calling on Ellie again in the future.”

About: While I haven't had much experience, I do love and care for all animals, and I promise that your pet will be in good hands. I currently work part-time M-F and am in college M-Th and so I thought this would be a good side gig for me to do I have a feeding schedule, they have hourly bathroom breaks, and lots of play time where the pets are free to run off built-up energy.

“Claire was a great help! Very open and communicative. Took great care of our fur-baby!”

About: Hi I’m Mandi , I’ve basically raised & trained dogs of all breeds & sizes my entire life. I’ve never really met a stranger when it comes to meeting pups ! Definitely love dogs more then most humans ! Lol. I also specialize in puppy care / whelping as I’m a breeder myself as well. I’m currently working part time & pretty home based. So I have all the time to properly care for your pup ! Your pup would never be left home alone or unattended ! I have a small fenced in area around my home incase your fur baby likes to be outside. I do keep boardings indoors at all times & I always take dogs out one by one for walks very frequently. Your fur baby would never be left alone or unsupervised 🙂.

About: Hi there! I’m Kristen, a lifelong animal lover with a special soft spot for senior cats and dogs. During my time working at Camp Bow Wow, I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I’ve learned how to recognize the unique needs of older pets—whether that means moving at their pace, giving meds with care, or just offering a calm, loving presence. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work seasonally at H&R Block during tax season which may affect my availability from January through mid-April. Outside of that period, my schedule is more flexible. I mainly offer pets sitting during the summertime. Please feel free to message me with any questions or special requests! I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I follow any routines or special instructions closely, from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and napping spots. With experience from Camp Bow Wow and a lifelong connection to animals—especially cats—I know how to read body language, respect boundaries, and build trust at the pet’s pace.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals since I was a child. I used to bring home strays even though I would get in trouble for it. I’ve babysat dogs for friends and family in the past. I also used to be a dog groomer at Petsmart. One rainy morning on my way to work, I saw a chihuahua mix on the side of the road. I parked my car about 10 feet away from her. She was shaking and had a look of despair. I gently scooped her up and put her in my passenger seat. I noticed her leg was broken so I skipped work and took her to the vet. I took her home with me and cared for her until she healed. Today, she is the happiest and chunkiest chihuahua I’ve ever seen. She’s living her best life with my mom. I’m a mother of 2 but my babies are in daycare during the week. I do not work a full time job, I’m very flexible! For check ins: I will make sure your fur baby is fed. I will, of course, give lots of affection. Take them out on walks and let them explore. Make sure their area is clean and tidy.
