Top rated Howard cat sitters
About: I have personally owned dogs as long as I can remember. From Rottweilers to Chihuahuas. I have dog sat numerous times, between boarding at my house and house sitting at a client’s home. I’m a true dog-lover at heart. I love dogs in all shapes and sizes. They are the most loving and most loyal. They really are better than most people! Lol. I have a sweet, energetic, laid-back, one and a half year old mini poodle. I also have a 3 year old hedgehog, but since he’s nocturnal and likes to keep to himself, pets don’t interact with him. He’s caged in my room and will be out of the way. I also have experience in taking care of senior dogs including: administering meds, feeding picky eaters, helping with potty breaks, helping with walks, etc. I have personally trained all of the dogs that I have owned. I have lots of puppy experience and don’t believe in “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” as I have also trained older dogs that I have rescued. I currently work from home and I am usually off by late afternoon/early evening. I can be home with your baby. We can play and take as many potty breaks as needed. I also don’t work on the weekends and like to fill my weekends up with fun activities! I have a fenced in backyard and a safe neighborhood to go on walks. Your doggo would have complete freedom of the house (as long as I’m home, of course). Doggies are allowed on the furniture and allowed to sleep with me. If they are crate trained, of course that’s okay too.
“Desiree is so awesome with my two cats! They are normally afraid of new people but warmed up quickly and love playing with her! It’s nice to go away on vacations and know that they are in good hands!”
“Shawna and her son were absolutely amazing!!! Super communicative, caring, and professional. Went above and beyond to provide the best care for my cat. My cat loved them! Couldn’t have asked for a better duo. Look forward to booking them again :).”
“Kari was great! She had consistent communication with me and also reached out when she had a question. The house was clean when we returned and our cat was happy! I would have Kari house sit again.”
“Cassidy was great! She stayed with our cat while we were out of town for 2 weeks. The house was clean and tidy when we got home and all our plants were looking good too. I would recommend and rebook for sure.”
“Heavy D seemed to love his care from Kristen even though he can be a bit shy. Kristen was careful to only feed Heavy the prescribed amount so that he can try to lose an lb. Or two! We would definitely have her care for Heavy D again!”
“Miranda was amazing with our 2 pups! We have one dog who is a rescue and afraid of strangers. We are very mindful who we leave him with, and hired Miranda for 3 drop in visits to our house. By Miranda's 3rd visit he was best friends with her! Very professional, communicative and sent us a ton of photos while we were out of town.”
“Bunnies are a handful to take care of, but Elena handled my sweet girl perfectly for 5 days! She was super professional, and even with our bunnies specific needs she was perfect and kept her on a feeding schedule and everything! Bunnies are super timid, but in every photo I could see Theo was calm and happy, especially when I picked her up! I'd recommend Elena to anyone, she's fantastic and truly cares about your pet, and will do all she can to make them happy and comfortable! Thank you so much Elena for making our trip worry free!!”
About: We have both grown up with cats and dogs alike. We love all animals and will be passionate about yours. We've been pet sitting for friends and family for over a decade. Looking forward to showing your furry friends all the love they deserve. We are currently available weekdays and evenings with some weekend availability as well. We have flexibility with our current schedule and will attempt to accommodate with yours as well. Due to our fickle rescue feline we are unable to offer sitting services in our home, yet we do offer home sitting services for you and your pets. We can play, walk, feed treats, food and water, or whatever your fluffy friend needs. Lots of pets, ear scratches, chin rubs, and lots of love!

I graduated Veterinary Technician school in December of 2024 and previously worked at The Wild Animal Sanctuary for two years which gave me experience with many types of animals and their personalities! I just moved back to Salida and am currently looking to find a job in the veterinary field but would love to help my community with the free time I currently have and any free time in the future! I can care for your pets in whatever capacity they need to be cared for. I’m more than happy to provide walks, cuddles, treats, pets and whatever else makes your furry friend feel comfortable!
