Cat Sitting Homeland

“Dawn did an amazing job looking after our cat over the Christmas break. She was super responsive, sent lots of pictures, and gave great summaries after every visit. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that our cat was in great hands while we were away. We would definitely recommend her for watching over your little one!”

“Kimberly was absolutely amazing. She is great at communicating and our cat took right to her. I loved all the pics she took while she was taking care of him.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, and over the years, I've gained hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. My experience goes beyond everyday pet care. I've attended obedience training classes with several of my own dogs and worked closely with a professional dog trainer to better understand canine behavior, body language, and the individual needs of each animal. This has helped me develop a patient, attentive approach to caring for dogs with different personalities, including those who may need extra time, reassurance, or structure to feel comfortable. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special medical needs. My experience includes administering oral medications, assisting with post-surgery recovery, caring for rescue puppies, and helping dogs work through separation anxiety. I also have experience providing overnight care for cats, including feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and helping a rescued kitten adjust to a new home. At home, I'm a proud pet parent to Nala, my 11-year-old Greyhound/Shepherd mix, and Koda, my 5-month-old Chiweenie! We also share our home with my roommates' two senior dogs, giving me daily experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. Living in a multi-dog household has taught me the importance of recognizing each dog's individual needs, understanding their body language, and maintaining a safe, comfortable environment where every dog feels loved and secure. I'm a firm believer that every pet deserves more than just the basics. Whether it's reinforcing their favorite tricks, enjoying a walk, engaging in playtime, or providing extra affection, I make an effort to connect with each animal and understand what makes them happy. I also know how important routine and consistency are to a pet's well-being. When caring for someone else's furry family member, one of my first priorities is learning their established schedule, habits, and preferences so I can provide a familiar, comfortable experience while their owner is away. I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I'm an early bird, usually starting my day around 5 a.m., and I currently work part-time three days a week with a fairly flexible schedule. This allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week and accommodate a variety of schedules. Caring for my own dogs is already an important part of my daily routine, so incorporating walks and drop-in visits for your furry family members is something I genuinely look forward to! I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and I'll do my best to accommodate their established feeding, walking, and bathroom schedules. Whether your pet needs an early morning potty break, a midday walk, or some extra attention and companionship while you're away, I'm happy to discuss a schedule that works for you and your pet's needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that feels familiar and reassuring. Before caring for your pet, I'll make sure I understand their feeding and bathroom schedules, medical needs, behavioral tendencies, and any household rules or special instructions. I believe maintaining consistency is especially important when their favorite humans are away, and I'll do my best to keep their daily routine as normal as possible. For pets who may be shy or anxious, I take a calm, patient, and confident approach. I never want an animal to feel pressured into interacting with me. Instead, I give them the space to observe, explore, and approach me when they're comfortable, allowing trust to develop naturally. I'm also comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. During walks and drop-in visits, I'll remain attentive to your pet's behavior, comfort, and surroundings to help ensure they have a safe and positive experience. And one of my favorite parts of pet sitting? Sending photo updates! I love capturing those little moments that let you see what your furry family member is up to while you're away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands.

“Clarisse was great! I reached out to her very last minute to watch my dogs while I was away, and she was super accommodating. She came over multiple times and always kept me updated with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. My dogs absolutely loved her and were always excited to see her. She made the whole experience stress-free, and I’d definitely hire her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I've always had a family dog since I was born. I'm responsible and have house-sat many times over the years for friends and friends of friends. I'm currently in college, so I have evenings and early mornings available. As well as Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I can stay overnight or just come by a few times a day. I focus heavily on the health and happiness of my own pets, this includes regular vet visits, choosing healthy food options, and providing enrichment (either by providing things for them to do without me, or playing with them throughout the day).

“Thank you for taking care of Zoey! She is a tough cat but you were able to deal and get through. Lucas showed on time and followed instructions thoroughly. Was a easy process and he is very trusting. Was a pleasure meeting you Lucas!”

About: Hello 👋🏻 My name is Kaylee and I’ve been a professional pet sitter for about 5 years now. Over the course of those 5 years I’ve cared for all of the following animals: dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, turtles, lizards, hamsters, rabbits and horses. I’m in college getting an animal science degree and I’ve worked with a wide age range of animals. From puppies all the way to senior dogs and kittens all the way to elderly cats. *please know that while my listed prices are accurate additional surcharges may apply. (All prices will be disclosed before booking) I have a lot of availability for pet care in my schedule, I do have college classes I must attend and the occasional appointment with these being non-negotiable blocks of time I must leave the clients home to attend (which will be discussed ahead of time). However aside from that I have a plethora of time available to dedicate solely to your pet(s). *jobs that are “constant care” and/or have strict rules regarding how long the pet(s) can be left alone MAY incur a surge charge. I haven’t had a pet escape or get lost on my watch yet, and I don’t plan to start now. My childhood dog escaped once as kid, and even thought he was quickly found, it made me realize the horror of potentially losing a pet. As a result, I take pet safety very seriously. I will not walk a dog without a leash. I always double and triple check that doors are closed/locked (when appropriate).

About: So i’ve dealt with dogs since I was kid. I pop in to take care of my parents dogs from time to time which is a tiny mutt and a husky. Currently I own a inu, but I do have experience with dealing with dogs of all sizes. I genuinely have a love for them. I am extremely patient and caring as well as careful. So i’m usually available most of the week to take care of dogs. I try to walk my own dog daily, and i make sure there is food and water. Generally daily walks and just basic care works for my dog, but I have taken care of other’s people’s dogs that did require more care or more attention. I’m generally a fast learner and very attentive to my dog’s needs and others.

About: I’ve been responsible for dogs ever since I can remember. I love play time and caring for them. I can flexible in proving the care your fur baby needs. I work during the week so I am usually available Friday evenings and weekends any time. If you need accommodations during the week in the evenings I can be available as well.

About: We’ve taken care of pets, trained and raised puppies, adopted elderly dogs, administered medication, bathed, clipped hair and nails, soothed anxieties, and everything else you can think of. Prices listed can be negotiated so let me know what your pet’s needs are. In addition to a reliable, caring, and skilled pet sitter/walker; I am a mother, a partner to a very caring and supportive man, a daughter and a licensed Realtor (since 2004) who looks out for my clients' best interests. I am fingerprinted and my background has been checked extensively. I have over 30 years of experience with a variety of different pets (dogs, cats, gerbils, birds, reptiles, livestock, wild and domestic) due to the fact that I have owned so many over the years, assisted others with their animals, and also rescued many. I pay attention to detail, understand my limitation, recognize different verbal and body language, and communicate well with pets and their parents.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets. I currently have two dogs and a cat who bring so much joy to my life, and I’ve cared for family pets for years, always cherishing the time spent with them. When caring for your dog, I prioritize their comfort and well-being by giving them my full attention and creating a stimulating, loving environment. I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent schedule and will happily accommodate your dog’s unique needs, whether it’s extra playtime, specific walking routines, administering medications, or a little extra patience for nervous pups. Being away from home can be tough, so I make sure to provide plenty of affection and care to help them feel at ease. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and open to handling tasks that others might find challenging. Your dog’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities! Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine because I’m used to structuring my time around animals' needs. I ensure pets are fed, walked, and cared for on a schedule that keeps them happy and comfortable. Whether it’s a short visit or a full day of care, I treat every pet like my own, giving them the attention and love they deserve. In my home or a client’s home, I create a safe, clean, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I follow their routines for feeding, walking, and playtime to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s extra cuddles, administering medications, or maintaining their favorite schedule, I provide attentive and compassionate care every step of the way.

About: I have always lived in a house with dogs. I have experience in administering medication to dogs anywhere from birth to the senior years. I have experience leash training as well as house training. I currently work a part-time serving job with very flexible hours. I have reliable transportation and can take same day appointments! I am able to check in as many times as needed as well as stay overnight, I do live in a house with a lot of animals so I don’t believe it would be a good idea to take other pets into my home but, I can guarantee to treat your pets and home as if they are my own when in my care. As a teenager I often did house/child/pet care for people in my community. I understand that I am a guest in your space and I can promise to act with respect, kindness, and integrity as I care for what is yours.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the patience and genuine care I have for every animal I meet. I’m gentle with pets of all ages, personalities, and abilities, and I’m never afraid to get down on the floor and take the time to earn their trust, especially with shy, nervous, senior, or special-needs pets. I’ve rescued and cared for animals in some pretty challenging situations, including dogs on the streets experiencing severe heat stroke and emergencies during Southeast Missouri’s extreme weather. I’ve also fostered kittens who were sick and needed extra care, patience, and nurturing before they were healthy enough to be adopted. I’ve always had a dog since the day I was born. I started raising my own dogs since I was about 9 years old, and I’ve been involved in house training, crate training, maintaining daily routines, and administering medications according to their prescribed instructions and labels. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure pets stay on their normal schedules while their owners are away. I’m also a clean freak, and I believe taking care of your home is part of taking care of your pets. I’ve personally experienced coming home to dirty litter boxes, pet vomit, stains, and messes that weren’t cleaned up after previous sitters. That’s something I never want a pet owner to experience. If your pet makes a mess, I clean it up. I’ll keep litter boxes maintained, clean up accidents, vomit, tracked-in dirt, and other everyday pet messes, and leave your home the way I found it, or better. To me, pet sitting isn’t just about making sure a pet is fed and let outside. It’s about making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood while their person is away. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routines, quirks, and what makes them feel most at home. Animals deserve the world in the short time we get with them, and I want to make sure I give them that. I recently relocated back home to Temecula from my college town in Missouri and currently have a very flexible schedule while I look for a part-time job. I’m a stay-at-home fiancé and pet mom to two dogs and two cats, so I’m already home caring for pets every day! My pets are all spayed/neutered, up to date on their vaccines, and social. I’m currently available throughout the day, with my only regular commitment being about two hours at the gym. This gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets and work around their routines. My dogs wake me up at 6am on the dot to go potty and eat breakfast, and at 5pm they are ready for dinner. I value my pets’ routines because without them, I wouldn’t have a routine myself I have a fully fenced backyard where my inside dogs are able to safely go outside throughout the day. I pay close attention to their behavior and cues-if they’re telling me they need to go out, I let them lead me to the backyard rather than making them wait. I have a 35-lb female Terrier/Lab mix and an 80-lb female Silver Lab. Both spayed and up-to-date on their shots. My Silver Lab is a gentle giant who was especially popular with the “littles” at doggy daycare, often spending time with the 10–25 lb dogs. She was also raised around my grandma’s Yorkies, so she’s very comfortable around smaller dogs. Your pet will always be treated like the VIP! I’ll make sure your pet gets priority during playtime and attention, even if that means taking the ball away from my own dog so your pup gets a turn!🎾

“April is awesome!! I was very nervous to leave my pets as one cat is very shy. But not with her! She also managed around a difficult household member. Right away my kitties took to her and I had peace my entire time away. I will definitely be using her services again!!”

Linda F.

“Makayla was punctual and very attentive and sweet to my senior pup. She ensured she ate while she was there which I appreciate. I would recommend her!”

Minal P.

“Nicole took excellent care of our 3 cats while we were gone for 7 days. She kept the place cleaner than she needed to, and made sure all cats got some attention during the visits. She also communicates very well, and is very accommodating with any changes. I will definitely rebook her in the future!”
