Cat Sitting in Homestead

“We booked Joy over the holidays, everything went great! Even when we noticed something about our cats toys (which we didn’t tell her about!) she was more than willing and available to stop by for an additional visit to ensure our kitty was safe.”

“She even watered my plants outside when I was gone!!”

About: What sets me apart is real, lifelong experience—not just sitting. I rescued my own dog when he was a puppy and have been hands-on with him for 4.5 years. Through these years I've conducted my own training successfully, gone through medical emergencies, dealt with injuries, and have gained a lot of experience in doing so. I grew up caring for animals of all types: dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and a few wonderfully odd creatures. I’m calm, attentive, and deeply respectful of every animal’s needs. With me, pets aren’t just watched—they’re understood, safe, and genuinely cared for. I also completed Nero's Law training in 2025, which taught me canine CPR and basic life support for working and/or aggressive and non-working/non-aggressive dogs. I recently left the government and am traveling full-time around the country with my dog Murphy, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I will be available any time and date for the foreseeable future. If I'm in your area for a while, please reach out! I will be living and traveling in a van full-time, which makes it very easy for me to pay full attention to your pets needs when I'm in your home. I'm extremely respectful, clean, and understand needs such as crating, giving medications, doing basic training, and any other requirements your pup may have.

“Haley and I worked through some feeding issues she was having with one of my cats that wasn't feeling 100%. She stuck with it and in the end, all was well.”

About: I've taken care of dogs of various ages for about 2 years at the client's home. I've done baths, taken them on walks, outside to go potty, of course feeding and giving all the treats! I work in Cedar Rapids so I'm only able to do mid day check ins in that area. If you aren't in the Cedar Rapids area I can do morning and evening/night check ins. I am able to stay overnight at your home as well if needed. I provide care at the client's home. I am able to come for a drop in visit and hang out with your pet for a short time or I'm able to come and stay for the night or the weekend if needed.

About: I can adapt to what the pet needs and makes them most secure. Open to customizing care based on their circumstances to make them comfortable. I’m in my “third act” and no longer desire a full time professional career. I love to be active, care for cats and go on walks. My schedule is flexible and I won’t overbook or over commit in order to provide the best care for your pet. I am very clean and efficient and will stay focused on pet care. I will respect your home as if it were my own and do the job you entrust me to do.

“Tiffany was great about a last minute booking. She took great care of our cats and kept me updated. The cats were happy and healthy when we got home!”

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. My parents share the same love for animals as I do, and I think I love them more honestly! I’ve dealt with losing a pet, and adding new additions to the family. In my eyes no breed of dog or cat is superior and I would love to meet all the pets I can!! I work part-time so I will put the days I am available into the schedule! On my days off I would be more than happy to take your dogs for walks or do drop in visits with dogs and cats! I also marked all days as available because my hours can be funky and I can sometimes work only 4 hour shifts. I take my dogs for walks frequently. They are a bit stubborn sometimes (especially my olde english) but after we get walking they love being outside! The summer heat gets to them both though, so I would love to get outside!

About: I grew up with cats and dogs. In my adult life I’ve had 2 cats until elderly age and now I have 2 doodles, one of which I high anxiety. I am flexible (especially on nights and weekends) and enjoy being with animals (often times more than humans lol) 😃. I can typically works around my morning and afternoon schedule. I have a fenced in yard and boy is created each night. For my clients home, I provide care based on instructions with lots of love and pets!

About: I have had dogs, horses, cats Ali my life, I showed dogs in 4-H. I have always preferred animals over people! My year old Labrador puppy, Louie and I would love to meet your pets! I’m currently on summer break from school (will be returning in August). I work weekend nights, so I have a lot of free time! Perfect schedule for the work week! I live in a nice house with my dog, Louie. I have a huge fenced in yard and a large kennel. I am able to separate dogs if needed.

“Christina was so helpful and accommodating, even when our plans changed at the last minute. She is very kind and knowledgeable about pets. I will definitely plan on hiring her again!”

About: I provide reliable, loving care that keeps pets safe, happy, and healthy. As a dog parent to three dogs, I understand the daily needs, routines, and personalities of pets of all kinds. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets with special needs, including administering medications, leash training, potty training, and extra cuddles for anxious or shy dogs. I’ve cared for multiple pets in one household and follow owner routines closely to ensure comfort and consistency. Every dog in my care receives daily walks, playtime, mental stimulation, and plenty of belly rubs—so owners can relax knowing their furry friends are happy, safe, and loved. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. With three dogs at home and experience with cats, I’m used to regular feeding, walks, playtime, and giving medications to our youngest pup. I’m available throughout the week for walks, visits, or overnight stays, and I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and affection so they feel happy and secure while their owners are away. I care for pets with the same attention and love I give my own three dogs and rescued cats. I maintain a clean, organized environment, whether I’m in my home or a client’s, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I provide daily walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles, and I’m experienced with grooming, including baths, nail trims, and haircuts. Every pet in my care receives attentive, structured care so owners can relax knowing their furry friends are well cared for.”

“Alexis did an excellent job with Snickers. she stopped in ahead of the date I needed her so she could meet Snickers and we could visit which was very helpful to both of us on the day I was gone she sent pictures so I know Snickers so I knew Snickers was absolutely in good hands. I will definitely contact Alexis again.”

“Took excellent care of my cats on very short notice. I really appreciate it! Will be booking again.”

About: My family has had pets of all kinds since I was born. We have had dogs of all sizes from teacup yorkie to German Shephard, as well as all ages from puppy to senior! I also have experience caring for indoor and outdoor cats, fish, guinea pigs, and bunnies. My fiancé and I currently have a bunny and English Bulldog, so I am experienced with the specific health needs of bulldogs and cleaning wrinkles. I am also comfortable giving oral medications to dogs, cats, and bunnies! I currently works nights in healthcare during the week but would love to hang out with some more fur babies (outside of time with my own of course) on the weekends when I have availability! Our dog is not a fan of sharing, so all care would have to be in the comfort of you and your furbaby's home. On the weekends, I can come over as much or as little as needed with the potential to stay overnight if needed. I can be pretty flexible on the weekends as it's just me, my fiancé, our bunny, and dog!

About: Growing up my house, my family has had lots of different kinds of pets. We have had pets like, tropical birds,, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, cats and dogs. I have loved taking care each and everyone of them! I have a cat I live with so each day I am activity taking care of and providing for him. Those task include, feeding, giving water to, scooping litter, and playing with and giving attention to. When taking care of my pets i prioritize their safety and my safety. I want to make sure they live long healthy lives. I also love being able to play with them, take them on walks, and give lots of attention to with love.

“Mia is so sweet and caring with my old doggy and my kitty friends. I love knowing I can count on her when I’m out of town or need a little help with my furry friends!”
