Cat Sitting Knightsen

“Iliana was amazing! Came by, loved on my Stevie girl & made sure she had food, water & a clean litter box. Definitely amazing & will absolutely reach out the next time I am out of town.”

“Cindia is amazing! She was so patient with my scardy cat and gave all the love to my social boy. She even asked to groom them for me. When I was struggling to get emails and rover updates abroad she texted me the updates. I felt so at ease with her taking care of my babies. Will always have her back when I need her. She also watered my plants for me.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I grew up with my childhood dog and cared for him for 17 years until he passed away. I now have three huskies, so taking care of dogs is a big part of my everyday life. I’m reliable, patient, and comfortable with high-energy dogs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your pets while you’re away, and I’ll follow their normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated with pictures along the way. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m happy to coordinate schedules in advance and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow the routine and instructions you leave for your pets and make sure they’re safe and comfortable while in my care. I’m careful when coming and going, especially with doors, gates, and leashes. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own and keep you updated while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs alike for friends and family forever! I am great with making meals, administering medication, and keeping things clean! Please message me to schedule a meet & greet! ♡ I can work any day, any time! My hours are extremely flexible. I can work for just 2 hours or I can stay overnight if needed! I follow instructions exactly as they're given, including feed times & medication administration. I love following things by the book, so in my mind, having "too many" instructions isn't a thing!

“Yushan is the sweetest! She took really good care of my Abby cat. ❤️ thank you again! She also made a really cute chain and matching pin of my cat. Love it so much! Thank you 🙏”

About: I've been a dog and cat owner since I was a child. I started taking care of my friend's dogs about 5 years ago. I would stay the night as well as visit them to let them outside. She recently got a great dane puppy that I check in on to let out and watched him for a few hours while he was being trained. I also have helped my partner's dogs, one of which is very anxious, while their family was out of town. I watched them, played with them, cuddled, and fed them. I am in community college right now, so my availability is most open on the weekends, Friday-Sunday. However, I also have afternoon availability for walks, check ins, potty breaks, and play dates during the week! I love to play with small to big dogs and cats, and I can watch them if they need to be let out. I also follow feeding instructions very specifically and dutifully. I have experience crating big dogs that are already crate trained, and I have been learning in my free time how to place train my own dogs, so I can assist in that training if needed given instruction.

“Another great booking with Victoria. This was one of the longest times I’ve had someone watch my cats. But I wasn’t worried about anything while I was on my vacation. Victoria took great care of my home and my cats. We did our usual once a day check ins and even then I knew everything was fine without having to ask!”

About: Hi there! My name’s Emma, I'm 25 years old. I’m a Dog and Cat Mama to three of my own fur babies, and work part time for the local school district. I've raised animals my whole life, and started pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors at 12, and I took care of the same animals regularly for nearly 6 years. Taking care of animals is second nature for me, and it's a fun way to help pay the bills. I do also have experience with epileptic dogs, elderly animals, and pets who need medicine regularly administered. Please feel free to message me with any questions! I work for the school district almost full time so have limited availability throughout the school year, with more availability during “winter break” and full time availability throughout summer break. I am only able to go to client's homes, I do not have the space to house client's pets. That being said, I treat and care for every animal as if it was my own. For client's I make myself daily checklists for the pets needs to make sure I never miss a thing.

“Cristal & Aiden were amazing! I was nervous leaving my elderly & diabetic cat for 5 days but it was quickly clear that my cat was very happy, well loved and 100% safe with them. It’s obvious they are true animal lovers and they even discovered she likes to watch bird & fish YouTube videos. Also, Aiden’s photos are the best I have of her - he has a real gift for animal photography. They were also very diligent about her medications, including giving her insulin shots twice a day. Needless to say, I highly recommend them!”

About: I volunteer at the Stockton Animal Shelter. Also, I have a Pomeranian chihuahua mix so I’m used to smaller animals. My dog is 14-16 so he’s very old and is becoming more immobile and blind.

Also I have plenty of time on Thursday as a half day. I’m very respectful in others space. I will be very attentive to the rules that you lay out because you know your pet best

About: Growing up with many types of pets, I know how important our little animals are to us! If you entrust me with your pet I promise to love them as my own and return them to you happy and healthy :) I’m currently coaching for a boys club team which is only a few hours out of the week. This leaves me with plenty of time to invest into your pets! I’ve experienced many different pets and many different stages. I know the struggles of potty training and the long nights of barks or meows! I am ready for whatever your pets need:)
