Cat Sitting Lakeside

“Ashlyn was fantastic and took excellent care of all five of my cats while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. I really appreciated the updates and photos from each visit, and it was clear she genuinely cared about the animals. I came home to five happy, well-cared-for cats. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Ashlyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.”

“Mya was so flexible and accommodating with our last-minute needs! Her communication and photo updates were stellar. She gave our fur baby extra love and took her time during the drop-in, making sure our baby felt cared for in our absence. We’re so grateful and highly recommend her!”

“Cassandra was amazing with my frenchie! Very communicative, flexible, and sent photos of the pup which made me see he was in great hands. Would highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Alisha — a reliable, detail-oriented animal lover who treats every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and that’s something I take seriously. Whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding routines, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m very attentive to details and will always follow your pet’s routine exactly as requested — from specific feeding instructions to medications or preferred walking routes. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I am typically available after 3pm on weekdays and open on weekends! Feel free to reach out and I can let you know my availability! I have a fully fenced back yard, and a pretty spacious home. I have two dogs, to ensure your peace of mind if I host your loved one in my home, my two fur babies will be on the second floor completely separate.

About: I have experience with all types of animals from small to large! I don’t remember a time in my life where we did not own and care for animals! I have cared for horses, goats, chickens, rodents, cats, and dogs. I have experience with animals with specials needs as I have a dog that has seizures, a diabetic cat, and a rescue who is very timid with humans; so I have a lot of understanding and patience with all animals. I can administer insulin and give oral medication to both dogs and cats if required. I am open to meeting you and your pet ahead of any care so that you can meet me and feel comfortable with me watching your beloved pets! Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. I currently work part time on the week days usually only 2-3 days a week and only between the hours of 8-5. My days rotate every other week In your home I can do any routine with your pet that you normally do. Scheduling feeding times, potty breaks, play time in the yard, medications, or anything else they may require. In my home I do have two dogs who love every dog they meet, and a cat who keeps to himself most of the time but does fine with other pets. They have all been around plenty of other animals. We do have a very well fenced back yard. Unfortunately at the moment I will probably not be taking in our home care as we our doing renovations so our house is a bit of a mess for guests.

About: I am an animal lover who has cared for pets my entire life! I will care for and love your fur-babies as if they were my own. Your pet can expect long walks, lots of cuddles, pets and maybe a few extra treats (if they're allowed). As the owner you can expect lots of cute doggie or cat selfies to let you know they're doing great! I will be responsive to phone calls or if you need updates at certain times, just let me know! I want you to be comfortable leaving your pet with me!

About: I’m currently in school full time for my MSW and have started pet sitting to help! I’ve taken care of plenty of pets during my active duty time. The military causes a lot of last minute changes that require trust worthy people to step in and support. I understand the need to leave our furry friends with a trusted person, let me be that for you! :) Im a full time Grad School student. Most of the time I will be home with your pets or working out. Either way, we love to stay active here! I have a fenced yard, and love going on walks. I live in a very animal friendly neighborhood that makes a perfect home for pets.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have been a proud dog mom for 6 years and a cat mom for 5 years. My pets are truly part of my family, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I’m caring, patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own! I’m currently a stay-at-home wife, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I’m available throughout the week and can work with different schedules to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I have a friendly dog who loves meeting and playing with other dogs, so your pup can have a fun companion if they’re comfortable with other dogs. I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, follow their normal routine, and provide plenty of supervision, attention, and love.

About: I have worked with animals of all ages, breed, and size for over 9 years now. From shelter work, to doggy daycare, grooming, and now training, I’ve done just about it all! I would love to spend time with your fur babies and treat them like my own. I have tons of toys, enrichment activities, and fun training games to keep them busy and maybe even teach them a new trick or two. I have grooming supplies so if you need a bath, brush, or nail trim, I’m your girl! I am currently at home full time so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur kids! I love to stay active so going on walks or trips to the park will be so much fun! I would love to give your pets whatever attention they may need. Whether that means going on walks around the neighborhood, doing mental games and tricks to help tire them out, or snuggling with them on the couch for a bit. I am always going on “field trips” with my training dogs, to the park, stores, or restaurants and it’s very likely your pup will take a trip or 2 with me if they’re staying for a while! Disclaimer: The dogs in my care do sleep in crates (Ruffland kennels provided by me with comfy beds) and will get crate naps during the day as well. We leave the house almost daily to go to the park or on trips to the store/coffee shops and they are crated for safety in my car as well.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for animals in both professional and personal settings. I currently work at an animal hospital, where I care for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities and have learned how to recognize changes in their behavior and well-being. I also have experience working in a dog daycare as a team lead, caring for both small and large dogs, as well as experience with cats, reptiles, and other pets. I’m comfortable caring for puppies and kittens, senior pets, administering medications, and following special care instructions. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work at an animal hospital, where my schedule is made and posted a month in advance. I do have plenty of days off throughout the week, which gives me good flexibility for pet sitting! Since my work schedule is planned ahead of time, I recommend booking pet-sitting services in advance whenever possible so I can make sure I’m available and give your pets the time and attention they deserve. The safety and comfort of every pet in my care is my top priority. I treat each pet like they are my own and take the time to learn their individual routines, personalities, and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and just as I found it. My experience working in an animal hospital has taught me how important it is to pay attention to small changes in a pet’s behavior and well-being, and I always prioritize their safety while they’re in my care.

About: My love for animals came from growing up around animals, we always had dogs and cats in the house. I have raised puppies and worked with older dogs. I had a cocker spaniel for 10 years, and now have a springer spaniel and cocker spaniel. I house trained my dogs and taught them all the tricks they know. I can help with potty training and teaching tricks when the dogs are in my care. I recently separated from the Navy. I am currently a full time student, all online so I’m always home. I am available to board, do daycare at my home, or do drop in visits whenever you need. I am completely flexible on times and dates. I have two gorgeous dogs to keep your fur babies company! They’re both extremely friendly so everyone is welcome. Our boy dog Pretzel loves to play! Our girl Tulip is a couch potato, so we have good company for everyone! We do not crate our dogs, though we can crate our two dogs or your pets as needed. We have two crates if needed. We do have a full bedroom for our dogs so we can provide that as an option if you’d like your pets to be separated but loose.

About: I love animals and giving them tons of attention! My experience with dog sitting has prepared me to give your animals the best care possible! I am also a dog mom myself and love taking care of my pets! I am excited to meet your furry friends:) I am an Undergrad student and have a very flexible schedule. I can work around anytime that suits you! I am happy to make early morning visits as well as late night visits. I have two very friendly puppies, so if you are interested in socializing your dogs, they will have plenty of friends. I also have a travel kennel available if needed for transportation!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes for over 25 years. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and give their pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and pets with special routines, and I always make sure they feel happy, safe, loved, and entertained. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the week. I can easily fit pet care into my day. I’m available for weekday visits, walks and boarding. My home is pet-friendly with a fenced yard and one gentle dog for companionship. I provide constant supervision, can crate if requested, and follow all safety routines to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for.

“Ansley is the best! She is dedicated, reliable and professional. My kitties were in good hands. She did everything that I asked for, even through hurricane Ian.”

Bonnie W.

“She did so good with my kitty!!! Excellent care and Quixia was very happy. She made sure my automatic feeder was working for her and fixed it, and that is what I mainly use!”

About: I have been the only person trusted to watch my sister's animals (cats and dogs) for 10 years. She was devastated to have to find new pet-sitters when she moved and continues to complain about them to this day. I am incredibly meticulous and watchful and understand the importance of allergies & medical conditions. My experience is with German shepherds, pitbulls, chihuahuas, and cats. I can handle anything with proper instructions. I've also had pets of my own all of my life. I work events (weekends) and otherwise I spark or Uber drive, so I'm available whenever you need me. Besides, taking care of your babies will definitely be the highlight of my week. Since I'm only offering to go to your home, your pet will have everything they could possibly need. I'm fantastic at following instructions and am very respectful of your household. I will only interact with what's necessary (like the pets and their food) and will do my best to maintain the cleanliness and energy while still loving on, caring for, & protection your baby (even if that's from themselves). You can be sure to receive updates from me that include pictures and any details that may be necessary.

About: 30+ years of pet care experience, including medication administration and senior care. Flexible schedule. I practice compassion, love, integrity, and kindness every moment, to the best of my ability. I’m patient with seniors, attentive to routines and meds, and committed to keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care (mine and yours) along with my love for creating art are the only real requirements of my time now and in the future. Dedicating myself to animals and art is the biggest passion I have in my life. After losing my puppy of 14 years (9/9/2026), my only want is to love and care for others like I was able to for Zeus. I have a fully free schedule that gives me the ability to support your pets, which in turn are yours at the end of the day. Allow me to help you through helping them when it’s needed. As a Yoga Teacher and Reiki Master, I am also happy to provide sessions at a discounted cost and as needed per agreement with you. I have friendly cats that are indoor and outdoor kitties who lived with a 70lb BoxerBully mix, Zeus, for 6 years before he passed on 9/9/2026. They are used to dogs and are fine outside if need be. There is a metal installed baby gate that divides the house in half, so if separation is needed, we have this option too. There is also a separate room that is set up as the sick bay for our “regular” pets and chickens when needed, so if absolute separation is required, this is feasible. I live in a really slow-paced part of town with lots of walking neighbors and dogs, so if yours is friendly and we want to make new friends, I know plenty on the block. We also have three parks within 1 to 2 miles in the neighborhood where we can go and spend time by the river. If staying or visiting your home, we will make sure all things are notated and questions asked/answered (even a prior meeting if wanted) to help us know we both are on the same page. As an artist, I keep my home quiet and peaceful, with very little going on. We don’t have random people stop by, violence, or the like in our neighborhood (Ortega Island), so rest assured your baby is safe with me. There are security cameras setup inside and outside as well, so we have eyes on the prize at all times. Lastly, I have lots of experience with administration of meds to cats, dogs, chickens, snakes, lizards, raccoons, and horses. My love of animals (even insects) great and small runs deep, so if you have other animals that need care, please reach out! You will be a Starred Contact, so no matter the time you call, I will always get the notification. Communication is key, so if you would like a video call with your baby, happy to! I totally get it and want you to be comfy and happy knowing your baby is either safe with me at my home or safe together at yours.

About: I’m a caring and dependable pet lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m committed to giving each one the individual attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, or lots of cuddles, or your cat prefers a calm environment, companionship, and a little extra patience, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications or special instructions, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them like my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of care! I am in the military and I am currently in port and looking for some extra work just to help pay the bills. I can be there in the afternoon and evenings when I am not on duty but I can be there all day on weekends if I don’t have duty as well. I take them on walks and feed them daily. They have plenty of toys and are very active but also I may spoil them a little too much.

“Great communication and no issues. It was easy to book. Pictures and info were provided!”

About: Hi! My name is Kara and I’m ready to love on your fur babies! My deep appreciation and love for all animals started at a very young age. I grew up with dogs and view them as a four-legged family members. I am used to dogs ranging from Chihuahua to Great Dane sizes and all energy levels. I've worked professionally as a kennel technician while in college. This entailed frequent walking, cleaning kennels, and providing comfort for animals who received surgery. Personally, I have fostered both kittens and Golden Retrievers. While fostering kittens I would socialize, clean, bottle feed, and play with them for proper development. Later, I joined a local organization with my roommate to foster Golden Retrievers who made it through the final treatments of heartworm. These dogs were put on restrictions because the steroids could still hurt their fragile hearts. Now I am a mother to 3 wonderful, spunky cats. I work part-time and have the flexibility to help pet parents through drop-ins and long walks. In general, all animals have their unique personalities just like humans and I enjoy meeting every dog and cat I encounter. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I’m currently working part-time and have plenty time to help out with your fur babies. I already go on long walks daily and would love for your pup to join. I also do not mind stopping by to feed and give some love to either your kitties or dogs. I am an active listener and want to respect how you want the experience to go. I will also send photos of your sweet babies during the process.
