Cat Sitting in Keswick

“My cats have never been so happy with a sitter! Hannah is clearly a "cat-whisperer" and got all three of mine to engage and play--they often spend the entire time I'm away hiding under the bed. Everything was neat and tidy when I returned, and the cats were happy to see me but showed no signs of feeling abandoned or traumatized by my absence. I highly recommend Hannah!”

“Martina was so attentive and caring toward my cat! I will definitely be booking again with her. It relieved so much of my stress while in vacation.”

“Alexa was a wonderful sitter and did a great job with my two crazy cats and perfectly executed my very detailed and somewhat demanding list of ‘to do’s’. she was also very communicative which I really appreciated”

“Hali was very responsive and if we ever need someone to stop by and check on our pup in the future we will definitely reach out to her again!”

“Sara is a responsible and reliable person. She took excellent care of my dog while I was out of town. My dog is very particular about people, but Sara’s calm and kind demeanor made my dog feel comfortable right away.”

About: I'm a pet person! My favorite part of caring for dogs is the walks, whether it's just a a few minutes or a few miles. My experience is as follows: ☆Caring for my family's cat and dog, from youth/kitten to senior age ☆Pet-sitting for friend's cats and dogs ☆Volunteering in a high-volume animal shelter ☆Volunteering with a puppy rescue (walking + working on leash training) I've cared for cats and dogs in all stages, from puppies and kittens to senior animals. I'm always open to learn to care for animals of all kinds and grow my experience! I have open availability for walks and overnight stays!

He was prompt, kind, and asked all the right questions to make sure my cats felt safe and comfortable.”

About: Hello!! My name is Hannah and I have a lot of free time heading up to when I leave for college in the fall. I LOVE all animals, I was born and raised on a farm and have always been surrounded by animals. I am looking forward to continuing my career in the animal care field in the future. I currently have 5 dogs so it limits any personal home stays but I would love to help you with your fur baby!! I currently work part time in the afternoons (about 4-9pm) and only have a college class Thursday mornings so I am fairly flexible and have plenty of time to hang with your animals! I wish visits at my house were possible but it is already quite hectic with it being full to the brim with my animals. I am happy to make any accommodations in your home if needed.

“Mallory has a natural knack for engaging with animals. Her love for them radiates from her and the way she engages with them makes them quickly comfortable around her. She is a great communicator as well and a responsible person by nature. I know that my pets will always be happy and safe in her hands.”
