Cat Sitting in La Plata

“Alicia took excellent care of my cats. She was on time every day, followed the feeding directions, cleaned the litter box, and spent time playing with them. She took a ton of photos and provided detailed updates after every visit. This was such a great experience for my first time using Rover. Thank you, Alicia!”

“Skyler is Awesome, she will always be our first choice whenever we need a pet sitter. She's timely, honest, and goes the extra mile on any of our requests. Highly recommended.”

“I needed a pet sitter a few days before I went on vacation, which I now realize is a big ask, but Donna was very responsive and made it so nice and simple. Getting the reports each day made me feel much better leaving my cat for a week knowing she was being checked in on.”

About: I grew up with cats (5 to be exact) and a dog. Since that time, I have lived with a dog for the past two year. I have been cat and dog sitting for three years in Durango and in my previous home in Salt Lake City. I love most animals and have a lot of patience and love! I work remotely 9-5 from Monday-Thursday, so I can be home with your pet all day! I can walk them before and after work, and let them out to use the bathroom anytime during the day. My only requirement is a quiet space to work and good internet. I will be patient and loving with your pet. I know it takes time for pets to warm up to new people. I am good at approaching animals slowly and calmly so that they feel safe with me!

“Leslie was so great with our cats. She was caring and communicative. We felt at ease leaving for a long period of time knowing she was giving our cats some much needed attention! We’ve already booked our next set of drop-in visits with her. Thanks, Leslie!”

About: As an avid outdoor enthusiast and dog lover you can be sure your dog is getting the attention and exercise they need! I try to take the dogs out 2 times a day for walks and every couple of hours for potty breaks. I do have a wonderful pup-o of my own, Luna so your doggo has some company. Is your dog more of a runner? If so I’ll pop on my mountain bike and let them do some trail running... more of a lazy doggo? How about some ice cream? Just kidding... no ice cream! Definitely a happy household and a fun loving environment for everyone! If you have any questions, concerns or special needs, feel free to reach out. Thanks and I look forward to meeting with you and your pup!

About: I’m a huge animal lover! I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. I can go from medical needs, to play time, to caregiving. My family and I have 5 dogs and 2 cats, so I know how stressful it can become when you need to leave for a few days. That’s why I’m here to help & make that time less overwhelming. I always make sure the animals have a calm environment, frequent potty trips, & lots of love! I love to play to get the energy out so there can be a calm house.

About: I have taken care of pets since i was a kid. Raised on a farm i cared for many different animals and pets. As an adult i am a responsible pet owner that treats my own pets as part of family and i aim to to treats my clients pets and homes with the same respect. I have trained and cared for my own puppies over the years and as a pet care giver i have taken care of foster pups, changing pee pads, keeping crates clean and puppies fed several times through the day. For my senior clients i make sure to attend to physical limitations, while sticking to important medication schedules. I strive to treat your home and pets with the same care i would treat my own. Supporting any maintenance activities that need attention while home owners are away. With regular check ins with pet/home owners to ensure peace of mind.

In home pet care is managed per pet owner instructions with specific parameters being defined during meet and greets with clients and pets. I will travel to you home to review any pet care and home needs and interact with your pets so that we can see how we all get along. While in your home i strive to keep your pets on the same walking, feeding and medication schedules with occasional day trips with the pets away from the home, with pet owner approval. I check in daily with any updates on how the pets are doing. You can rest assured that any maintenance needs and schedules are kept up with around the home. Watering plants and the lawn, putting out the trash, picking up mail and any other light maintenance tasks that are needed around the home, while you are away. Upon departure i will clean up the house and make sure it left in the same condition or cleaner than when i arrived. Washing any dishes and bedding used for overnights or just keeping your home secure when i leave.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 10. I have had different breeds of dogs such as Schnauzer, Poodle, Maltese, and an Australian Shepherd/lab mix. I have experience in taking care of multiple animals at a time and some experience administering medication to senior cats and dogs. I am going to be doing gig work so my schedule is as flexible as it needs to be. I can sit or drop in during the morning, day or evening. Since I will be taking care of pets in your home, I would utilize what is at my disposal as far as taking dogs out whether that's a fenced in yard or on a leash. I'd like to have a meet and greet to get to know where the food is kept and learn if your pet has any particulars when it comes to feeding, playing, etc.

About: I have former experience an Animal shelter technician as well as being a vet assistant. These jobs specialized in medical attention and care of dogs and cats. I currently babysit in the morning, nights and weekends are preferred but I’m willing to house sit as well as pet sit. I have a pretty flexible schedule. A typical pet sitting day is, feeding, letting the animal relieve themselves, walk or let out into the yard. Return later to feed and crate or if the animal has specific living accommodations.

About: I have a wide range of experience with a variety of different species. I personally have had a lot of different species of animals. I worked for a vet for several years in Farmington so I have experience with Medications. I am comfortable with dogs, cats, horses, goats/sheep, reptiles, livestock,... whatever you have as a pet I am willing to help you out. I work from home so I am available any day of the week. I am able to do frequent visits throughout the day if needed. I understand the importance of making sure your pets stay safe and live as comfortably as if you were home. I know I stress when I leave home over night. I am willing to send pictures/videos of your pets. I always make sure I have your vet's information and get clear instructions for your pets.
