Cat Sitting in Ionia

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from family pets to farm animals. I have hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and older pets who need extra patience. I’ve also shadowed veterinarians and spent time learning about animal health and behavior, which helps me notice the little things that keep pets safe and happy. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering simple medications, and making sure each pet feels loved and cared for. Whether it’s going for a walk, playtime, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available during breaks throughout the day for walks and drop-ins, as well as evenings and weekends for longer visits or overnight care. If you have specific timing needs, just let me know. I’ll do my best to work around your schedule so your pets always get the care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I follow your routines closely, keep things tidy, and make sure your pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. Safety is my top priority! I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I pay attention to each pet’s specific needs. I’m also happy to provide regular updates with photos, so you can feel at ease knowing your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“This was our first time having a drop in and it went so well! We can’t believe how great of pictures we received as well. We definitely hope to use Karisa and Emily B. again!”

About: I grew up with two dogs and a cat took care of them a lot also, my grandma‘s dog which was a smaller dog. Fast forward I bought two kitties. They’re almost one now and there perfectly healthy and adorable. I’m available Monday thru Friday after 11am anytime after that I’m available to take care or walk your pet in the week. Hope this helps I feed them when they need to be fed and I play with them and pet them and make them feel welcomed . I also give them treats if there good (animal treats ofc)

About: Lifetime dog and cat owner. Lifetime horseman. Former zoo keeper. Passionate about safety, quality, and enriching animal care! Lover of any critter with 4 legs and fur! I am a part time tour guide at the Budweiser Clydesdale farm. My availability is pretty strictly early mornings and evenings after 6pm. I am happy to care for your pets within those hours! As a manger of equine boarding facilities as well as caretaker for exotic animals, safety will always be my first priority. My animals are my world and I always strive to care for other’s pets as well or better than my own. The weight of responsibility caring for someone else’s family member is always forefront on my mind.

About: I love all animals and can’t wait to hear about or meet your furry family member . Allow me to look after your beloved pets, plants, home and many other things. If you need to be out of town or just need a little extra help with a high energy pet. Check my schedule and see if my services align with what you’re looking for. I have a few furry felines and dogs that I already help take care of.. I have cared for small to medium size dogs in the past and grew up with a house full of pets. Including but not limited to dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, foul/birds, and minimal farm animals. However, every fur buddy or man’s best friend is unique. Let’s communicate on the needs or preferences for your special furry family member and see if I can accommodate. I appreciate your careful consideration. I can be flexible on scheduling and accommodations. Such as pick up/drop off, boarding, full day care, in home care, walks, vet visits and much more. Please be considerate of my time and cancellations and I will do the same respect. Thank you so much! I can’t think of any thing more wonderfully rewarding than to help you care for your furry loved ones. I currently am only caring for a few furry felines and small/medium dogs for close family. I’m looking to expand and see the rest of MidMo and its pet lovers community. Thank you for all your consideration and shares! Fenced in yard. Single room with twin bed for single or multi pets of same family Pet owner provides: Food Medications Optional items: Blankets Toys Treats Care and exercise needs can be discussed and evaluated further upon request. Each pet is different in what care they need. There are many energy levels and temperaments to keep aware of.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a young child, my passion for animals encouraged me to pursue a career working with animals. In recent years I have worked animal husbandry caring for domestic pets, exotic big cats, wolves, snakes, birds and more. I am comfortable working with all sizes of dogs and as well as other species. I have 5 years vet tech experience so can help with medical issues and medications as needed. I am fully available except when I’m out of town helping my sick father (usually a week each month). I can check in as frequently or long as you need, but I do have an older 30lb (dog friendly) pup who needs medications twice daily and I am the only one that can provide those to him. If he cannot be with me while providing other pets care then I will need to return to him once morning and evening to ensure he is taken care of. Can stay overnight preferably only one night at a time so I can return to my pets. I have recently moved so no longer have a fenced yard, but have a large home with dog runs on trees in the backyard. I have an easy going 30lb Pomeranian mutt named Teddy. My dog is very easy to get along with other dogs, as I have fostered and watched other animals numerous times in the years of me having him. I watch my brother’s pitbull mix named Hercules on a regular basis as well. I do have cats so would prefer if they were used to them, but have an area of my home doggy gated off so they can feel safe when other pets visit my home.
