Cat Sitting Lafayette

About: I have been a homeowner and pet owner since 1991. I have cared for both large and small breed dogs since puppy age through adulthood. I have also raised and cared for fish, rabbits, birds, chickens and cats. I am retired from owning/operating small businesses. I have many years of experience with high demanding responsibilities and attention. I have most recently become a grandparent to a beautiful baby boy. I am currently helping my daughter with both her first child and large Shepard Mix puppy, Nelly. I would like to find other outside work and socialization during this process. As I mentioned before, I am very responsible and trustworthy. I am very good with children and animals. I am very good with caring for pets and adapting to their home surroundings. I reside in downtown Lafayette and have enjoyed many walks exploring the lovely Lafayette/Morage trail as well as the Lafayette Reservoir. Dog walking services within a 2 mile radius of Downtown Lafayette. I enjoy the outdoors walking, hiking, I also have a great appreciation for the arts and design.

“Maya was amazing! She took such great care of our fur baby when we were away. When I saw the photos and report I knew right away our cat was in good hands. She made sure he was loved and looked after and left the house clean. Anytime I go out of town, I plan on requesting Maya!”

“Tatiana is a gem. This is the second time she has watched my kitties and I always feel comfortable being away when they are in her care. She is communicative, kind and provides great feedback about each visit and how my boys are doing. I highly recommend her!”

“Indie was amazing! She took great care of our cat, Teddy, and he absolutely loved her. She sent us wonderful photos and even went above and beyond by taking out the trash and tidying up, things we didn’t ask for but really appreciated. We came home to a very happy cat and would absolutely book with Indie again!”

“Jenney did a great job taking care of my two fluffy kitties - I was particularly nervous after an especially prior horrific petsitting gig that left my poor Mr. Knightley thin, ragged, and traumatized. Thankfully, she has restored my faith that great catsitters do exist - and her cat room was literally like the Ritz Carlton for cats. There were scratch pads, cat towers, window seats, high and low places for cats to relax and feel safe. In all the photos she sent my cats looked relaxed and comfortable, and when I picked them up they were brushed and well fed, as well as still relaxed and comfortable. Peace of mind is worth it! Highly recommended.”

“Elena was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our cat, Luka, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how thoughtful she was about checking in and keeping us updated. I loved receiving the daily photos she captured and her updates always made me smile. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Luka's well-being and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We highly recommend Elana to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter and look forward to rebooking with her in the future! Thank you, Elena!”

About: I’d love to care for and walk your pets. Dog park romps, petting sessions, and snuggling provided. I care for them in my home or drop into your home as needed. Experience with large animals, geriatric and young animals. If you are traveling and need a reliable, fun, experienced sitter for your pets, I’d be happy to do a meet and greet and meet you and your pets. I have a 6year old neutered male Australian Sheppard and a 2 year old indoor/outdoor cat. Both are amenable to sharing their space with new furry friends. I'm an active retiree so I have plenty of time for your furry family members. My dog loves to play with new furry friends or chill and give them space. I have a fenced yard and dog door for in and out privileges. I accept dogs that are crated at night or free roaming. Home is well suited to pets.

About: I am an insured pet care professional, and I bring the same kindness and thoughtfulness I would want someone to show my own pet. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and very detail-oriented. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine, carefully follow your instructions, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and notes. My goal is simple: to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely well cared for whenever they’re with me. I cared for my own dog, Charlotte, for 10 years—from her puppy stage through her senior years—so I understand how much a dog’s needs can change over time. My experience with puppies began even earlier, when a neighbor who bred dogs trusted me to help care for her newborn litters. I understand the patience, consistency, and routine puppies need, including reinforcement of potty training, basic commands, leash manners, and good habits. I also know that senior dogs may need slower walks, extra time, and someone who pays attention to the little changes. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have the flexibility to walk your pet or drop in for your pet during the day while you are away. Looking forward to new clients! I currently provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs, keep their space tidy, and send photos and written updates after every visit. All dog walks are private and on leash. At this time, I do not offer care in my own home, overnight stays, transportation, or medication administration.

“Julia has been amazing! She went above and beyond while taking care of my cats. She made sure they were loved and she also helped give one of my cats medication while I was gone, but I never expected her to clean! She even vacuumed and cleaned! I cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of my cats and my house!”

“Agne did such a wonderful job taking care of my 2 kitties. Although she didn’t have the opportunity to see too much of them since they like to remain hidden, she made sure they were well cared for. She also had to do some ant combat. I highly recommend her for your upcoming cat care. I will be referring her to my cat lady friends.”

“Had the pleasure of having Lucy watch our pups this past weekend for the first time and she was amazing! The dogs adored her and she took such great care of them during her visits and followed all instructions. She sent us pictures of the pups which made us feel even more at ease. We will definitely rebook with her again. Thank you, Lucy! 🙏🏼 🐶”

“Shirley was very considerate of our requests. She was great with our dog, playing with him and bringing him treats. We would definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have been pet sitting for over 10 years. I’m also a proud pet parent to two cats and a dog, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with them. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and cats over the years, and I really enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pup needs a long walk and lots of playtime, your cat wants some attention and cuddles, or your pet just needs someone around to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is being taken care of! I’m currently in school so I have a lot of flexibility for drop in visits throughout the day! I’m available during the week as well as weekends. I care for pets in their own homes, keeping their routines comfortable and familiar. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention while keeping their space clean and secure.

“Mellie was fantastic! I received prompt updates about each visit. I also received many pictures of my kitties! I appreciated her timely and thorough communication. Great sitter!”

Christina S.

“Sabrina was a great sitter! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my cat was being well taken care of and that I would receive regular updates. Having that peace of mind is the most important thing for me when I’m away for an extended period. When I arrived home, it was like I had never left—my cat was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely book with Sabrina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. 🐱💕”

“Elizabeth is phenomenal. She is super responsive, kind, and great with Kitty. I’m so excited to get updates from her and see what cute pics she took that day. Thank you so so so much.”

About: I have been working in pet care since I was a teenager, for many years I worked alongside my mom in her pet-sitting business, caring for dogs of every size and temperament. That meant daily walks, feeding and medication schedules, and a lot of nervous dogs who just needed patience and a consistent routine. This also meant taking care of cats, birds, and other pets. Over the past year my wife and I have been the regular sitters for three local families, two of them with a pair of dogs. Each one has had us back several times, which I think says more than anything I could write here. Dogs that live together have their own dynamic, and I'm comfortable managing two at once, from separate feeding spots to walks where one pulls and the other doesn't. What you can count on from me: I follow your instructions exactly as written, and I'm honest if something seems off so you hear it from me first rather than at pickup. I work a regular weekday job, so pet care fits into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. Early mornings before work and evenings after are my most reliable windows, and I'm wide open on weekends for longer visits, walks, or multi-day stays. In your home, I follow your setup exactly: same feeding spots, same walk routes, same door and gate routine you'd use yourself. I do a quick walkthrough at the meet-and-greet to learn where things are: leashes, food, cleaning supplies, and who to call if there's a problem. I'm careful about doors and gates, I keep dogs leashed on walks, and I clean up after every visit so you come home to the place how you left it.

“Another great booking with Jessica! My cat loves when she comes to visit for her daily drop-in. This one went twice as long as the first booking, and it also went just as well. Thanks again!”

“I am so pleased with Annie. She was great with our cat. This was the first time that we have needed to leave our cat with anyone. She provided continuous updates and made us feel at ease. Thank you Annie.”

About: I've had cats and dogs in my home since I was a child. Since 2020 I have been traveling the country--and beyond--as a full-time, nomadic pet sitter. I have taken care of dogs in Malibu, California; horses and pigs in Ocala, Florida; Ragdoll cats in South Queensferry, Scotland; goats in Oakland, California; and giant bunnies in Oceanside, Washington. I've given medicine to old animals, including insulin injections for dogs and cats. I'm basically the Mrs. Doubtfire of pet care. I travel sometimes with my companion, Cheri Isabella, so sometimes there will be two of us taking care of your animals. I am a full-time pet-sitter. I spend most of my time working as an online writer and illustrator, so I will be around to give your pets as much attention as they need. I do not have a home so I am not able to board pets. I can only take care of pets in their own home.
