Cat Sitting in Ketchuptown

“We cannot begin to tell you what a breath of fresh air it was having Marie care for our 2 babies! She is super thorough, went above and beyond what we could’ve asked for or expected. Our 2 cats absolutely loved her and were excited to see her at each visit, refreshing bc they don’t usually do well with new people right away. We will absolutely be booking with Marie again in the future for other trips out of town. We felt super comfortable with her instantly from the moment she came to do a meet and greet with our cats. One of them requires insulin shots twice daily and it was no problem what so ever for her. We cannot express our gratitude and thanks for treating our babies so wonderfully while we were away!”

“Tabatha and her family were very good with my baby Jett. Jett is an only child in an all-adult household, it takes time for him to get comfortable in a new home, but Tabatha's family made him comfortable his 1st night in their home. My husband and I were very happy and had peace of mind knowing he's in great hands. We will definitely be going back to Tabatha next time we need to board Jett. Thank you, Tabatha, from the bottom of our hearts!”

“Savannah was wonderful! The babies love her and played while she was here. I would definitely use her again. She sat for me during Hurricane Debby and kept me updated on the status of the house. She and her mom were very sweet and took care of the kitties and me.”

“She did a awesome job!! Kept in touch with us daily about our coco. We would highly recommend her for any of your pet needs. We will be using again.”

About: I've been a cat owner for most of my adult life. I have always loved dogs as well and will keep your pet safe and happy while you are away. I have plenty of time to play, care or walk your pet. My schedule is open most days and weekends are not an issue for me. I would prefer to do drop in visits, or walks around the block. My cat is friendly, but not accustomed to other pets. I could let her be in her own room if needed. I do have a nice back yard but it is not fenced in.

“Makayla was amazing during checkers (my cats) stay with her. She was so sweet to him and made him a home away from home. She sent pictures every day and updated me throughout the day. I will definitely book again.”

“Kyia did amazing with Kila! Even though my baby is not a baby anymore she can be a sassy old girl. She was great with her. Her report cards were great to read while I was on vacation (and the pics too).”

About: Growing up in the Animal Rescue and Care world, I've cared for everything from horses, down to mice. Throughout my years I've taken to fostering, reconditioning, and rehoming abused and abandoned animals. I'm versed in animal behavior, to include neonatal and senior animals. My goal is to give as much love, guidance, and care as I can to every animal I come across. I live on my own homestead with my husband (stay at home dad/Disabled Veteran), and our 4 children. I'm a self employed Realtor and pet/farm sitter. I strictly follow guidelines given by pet owners. If no guidance is given, then I have my own basic schedule for all stages of life in both dogs and cats. In general, I walk/play pets, refill food and water (according to owners specifications), clean up pet messes, bathe if needed, and pick up pet groceries if needed.

“She was definitely a delight to have watch over our fur babies! Not only does she take good care of our babies and send us good pictures, but you can clearly see our babies enjoyed her company. We will definitely be using Ellen again in the future thank you, Ellen.”

“Wonderful job! Followed instructions and keep us informed and updated. Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. My previous job was at a boarding facility attending to all 50+ dogs there at any given time. Now I study and practice animal care/behavior full time. I do charge 10$ for meet and greets. Request I Take -reactive dogs -extremely anxious dogs -old dogs -and of course well behaved dogs OVERNIGHTS Meet and greets are preferred but not necessary if the dog is smaller than 80lbs. Dogs heavier than 80lbs and reactive require a meet and greet first. I promise I will help you if you have no one to watch your loved one because they have an attitude. Please feel free to contact me with any question about overnight concerns or specifics. My weekly routine is taking care of animals.I have the whole week or day for a walk, check-in, or overnights, I will make sure your dog gets exercise if needed and goes out plenty. I’m actually learning to become an animal behaviorist and treat taking care of other peoples animals as I would taking care of my own animals. I would always make sure the safety of your dog and others comes first when walking or treating your dog.

About: Looking for that small dog environment? I will only take in small dogs under 20 pounds. I am very caring and passionate and have owned dogs my whole life. As a pet parent myself, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet when you are away. In my home, your pet will be treated just like family with endless amounts of love, attention, protection and fun. Skip the kennel time and breathe easy knowing that your pup will be in the best hands and have a home away from home! Each pup deserves around the clock human interaction and since I am retired it allows me to be home during the day and provide the care and attention for my guests. I will provide updates each day along with multiple photos. The amount of updates will be based on your preference. To ensure the safety of my pup guests, I only allow up to 2 clients per stay and no dogs larger than "20" lbs. I do not accept dogs with aggressive tendencies nor dogs that are not potty trained. All guests must agree to do a Meet and Greet to ensure they get along with mine as well as other dogs if applicable.

About: I've grown up with a yorkie (family dog). Within the last year I adopted a dog of my own. He's a black lab/australian shepherd mix who has become my best friend. He's unfortunately living with my parents for the summer which is why I'm hoping to hangout with some furry friends! I'm currently in Peoria to train and play soccer! I'm hoping to start a part-time job soon, but I'd love to hangout with some pets and help out some owners in the meantime! I cannot care for pets at my apartment because it does not allow pets, but I am open to other options! I love going on walks and staying active!

“Freya does an awesome job of taking care of Diesel while I'm away. I know he's in good hands and I can focus on my work and not have to worry! She is communicative and shows up and on time!!! We look forward to continuing to use Freya. Great job!”

“Fantastic job! Polly usually just hides from our kitty sitters but Carol was able to encourage her to come out and visit for a bit. This is a huge accomplishment. Carol was on time every day and made sure that Polly was well taken care of. We will certainly use her services again when needed.”

“Jane has been wonderful! Very caring, pleasant, responsible and timely. Jane is lovely to work with. I will definitely call her whenever needed in the future. Thank you Jane! 🥰”

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes as well as 8 years professionally training dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds and temperaments. I train basic and advanced obedience, working dogs, service animals and more. I am confident and comfortable caring for dogs that otherwise might be difficult for others without experience in the behavioral field, while keeping safety at the forefront of every interaction. Additionally, I have 5 years of vet tech experience, giving me the ability and willingness to care for pets with medical problems, senior pets, pets requiring medication or pets with special needs. I have owned and cared for farm animals for much of my teenage and adult life, allowing me to offer care for pets outside of the home such as bovine, horses, goats, pigs and chickens. I am comfortable with birds, reptiles and exotic pets, having raised rabbits most of my life as well as owning guinea pigs, snakes, sugar gliders and a quaker parrot. I am CPR certified and have attended several emergency care courses for cats and dogs. My passion has led me to providing pet care and dog training services full-time, allowing for me to provide services for you and your pets year-round! I provide pet care and training services full time, year-round! I am available for last minute requests and can handle care for pets with special needs or behavioral problems- keeping safety for both parties as a priority. My home is set up for the care of pets. I have several rooms for dogs of different temperaments and preferences as well as multiple fenced in yards to allow for play times and potty times in small groups or individually as needed. In the summertime, morning bathroom breaks are longer to allow for plenty of playtime before it gets too hot outside. We provide at LEAST 4 bathroom breaks throughout the day. During peak heat hours, outside breaks are shorter. Once things cool off in the evening, I provide another longer playtime outside. Not every dog cares for or does well with other dogs so temperament testing will be done before they are free to play with the others. All dogs are supervised when out at all times. Dogs in my home will be kenneled for bedtime or if I need to run a short errand (groceries, doctor appointment, private training lesson with a client, etc.) Care in the client's home will be discussed before the job starts. Everybody has different preferences and I strive to provide the best care possible for pets while owners are away!

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have 4 right now on my farm. I have a lot of patience and believe that dogs just need love and exercise and patience and that’s the key to a happy pup and owner! I work full time but would love to play with your pup or walk your furry friend on the weekend while you relax at home! I treat my dogs like they are human children. They are spoiled and I have so many toys for dogs and a first aid kit just in case at all times.

“Mikayla took on my 5 month old German Shorthaired Pointer at the last minute and did a great job taking care of him. Even though he is a complete handful!”
