Cat Sitting Latourell

“Michelle was wonderful. I had boarded my cat Roo in the past, but she would be very unhappy for a few days after I'd get her home. I had to be away for a week for a family emergency, and decided to hire a pet sitter to come in twice a day to feed and play with her instead. This was the longest I've had to be away from my cat and Michelle took amazing care of her. Likewise, Roo loved Michelle so much, I've never seen her get so attached to someone so quickly. On her visits she fed, watered, played with her, cleaned her litter box, cleaned up after Roo's water protest and took such great pictures of her. When I returned home, instead of Roo complaining about my absence for a few days, she only complained for a few hours. Such a huge difference and I'll never board her again. Michelle is thorough, responsible and dependable. I will use her again if she's available, and I would recommend her services to others. You cannot go wrong hiring Michelle to watch your pets. They will be safe and well cared for. Thank you again Michelle!”

“Jayne did great with my dog, as usual. She followed the feeding instructions, and gave my senior dog the care he needed while I was out. She sent me cute pictures of him during their time together.”

“Lilieana was so kind and gracious in the booking process. She also lives nearby so made everything pretty easy. The pups looked pleased on the pictures and are happy that we are home . Frankie sniffed around for a little while wondering if she was going to come back. Definitely a great sitter pick.”

About: About me: I’m happy to care for almost any animal, as long as they’re friendly and up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick prevention, and other routine care. I’m also willing to care for pets with special needs and exotic animals, but these requests are accepted on a case-by-case basis. I’ve cared for over 100 different pets, including exotic animals, through my pet care business and across a variety of pet caregiver apps. Work schedule and availability: I’m available Monday through Sunday to care for your pets. Whether you’re looking for a long-term or last-minute pet sitter, I’d be happy to accept new clients. Meet and greets: Meet and greets are optional but recommended for first-time clients. If you choose to skip the meet and greet, I require detailed care instructions for your pets. Meet and greets are free when held at my home or conducted over the phone or through a video call. If you'd prefer the meet and greet at your home, I charge a non-refundable travel fee of $1 per mile for round-trip travel. For example, if you live 10 miles away, the travel fee would be $20. The travel fee is due in cash upon my arrival for the meet and greet and must be paid before the visit begins. Boarding: Before accepting a boarding request, I like to learn more about each pet by asking their owner some questions. This helps me make sure my home and boarding environment are a good fit for everyone involved. Owners are required to provide their pets’ food, litter boxes, cat litter, medications, and any other essential items needed during their stay. I require cat owners to empty and wash their cats’ litter boxes before bringing them to my home. Doggy daycare: I provide a safe, stress-free environment where your dogs can relax, have fun, and feel comfortable throughout the day. Dogs receive playtime, walks, and plenty of attention during their stay. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, energy level, and individual needs to ensure a positive daycare experience. House sitting: Constant care (maximum 4-hour absences): This is my standard house sitting service. I’ll stay in your home for the majority of the day and night with your pets. I may leave for up to 4 hours at a time for errands, other clients, or personal activities, but I’ll return within that timeframe unless there’s an unexpected delay (such as traffic) or an emergency. • First pet: From $15/day. • Additional dog: From $15/day. • Additional cat: From $15/day. • Additional fees may apply for pets with special needs, behavioral issues, or other circumstances that require extra care. 24-hour constant care: I’ll remain in your home with your pets at all times throughout the booking. I won’t leave for errands, other clients, or personal activities. I’ll only leave your home in the event of an emergency. This service is designed for pets who require continuous supervision, such as those with severe separation anxiety, medical needs, puppies, seniors, or for owners who prefer uninterrupted care. Because I remain on-site continuously and cannot take other work or leave the home, this service is priced accordingly. • First pet: From $250/day. • Additional dog: From $90/day. • Additional cat: From $70/day. • Additional fees may apply for pets with special needs, behavioral issues, or other circumstances that require extra care. While I’m staying in your home, I won’t invite other people over, and I won’t allow other animals into the home. To ensure reliable communication and timely updates during house sitting stays, I require access to WiFi so I can maintain consistent connectivity and respond promptly to messages. Drop-in visits: A standard drop-in visit is 30 minutes, with the option to extend it to 60 minutes. I’ll provide your pets with fresh food and water, plenty of affection, and personalized care based on the instructions you provide. For dogs, I’ll provide potty breaks, short walks, and playtime. For cats, I’ll clean litter boxes and make sure they have a calm, stress-free experience, giving them as much attention as they’re comfortable with. Dog walks: Standard dog walks are 30 minutes, with the option to extend to 60 minutes. When it’s very hot outside, I’ll bring fresh water for your dogs and stick to shaded areas for their safety and comfort. Bathing and brushing: This is an optional service that can be added to your booking for an additional fee. All bathing and brushing services include a bath with dog shampoo, towel drying, and brushing. • Small dogs (1-20 lbs): $70 (+$10 for long or double coats) • Medium dogs (21–50 lbs): $100 (+$20 for long or double coats) • Large dogs (51–100 lbs): $120 (+$30 for long or double coats) • XL dogs (101-150 lbs): $130 (+$40 for long or double coats) • XXL dogs (151-200+ lbs): $200 (+$50 for long or double coats) • Additional fees may apply for pets with special needs, behavioral issues, or other circumstances that require extra care. Safety and health requirements: I’m unable to care for pets that aren’t spayed/neutered, reactive, aggressive, destructive, or pose a safety risk to people or other animals. All pets must be up to date on routine veterinary care, including vaccinations and flea/tick prevention, to be eligible for any services. All pets must not be sick or show signs of illness at the time of service to be eligible for any services. Multiple pets and pet profiles: Each pet must be individually listed on the booking request and have their own profile. Multiple pets may not be booked as a single pet. If all pets aren’t accurately listed, I reserve the right to modify the booking request to reflect the correct number of pets or refuse service. Communication amount and frequency: The amount and frequency of communication you’ll receive from me is entirely up to you. By default, I typically send one update in the morning or afternoon and another in the evening. The evening update is usually more detailed and includes a summary of all pet care activities completed throughout the day. I also generally send one photo of each of your pets per day. If you would prefer more or fewer updates or photos, just let me know. I'm happy to accommodate your preferences. I typically don’t send messages after 8:00 PM Pacific Time unless there’s a reason to do so, as I usually begin winding down for the evening around that time. With that said, please feel free to message me after 8:00 PM if needed. I’ll respond as soon as I can, and if I’m already asleep, I’ll get back to you tomorrow. Pick up and drop off policy: All boarding and daycare pets must be picked up between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM Pacific Time, unless alternative pick up times have been arranged in advance. If you would like me to provide pick up and drop off services, you must provide secure, appropriately sized pet carriers for your pets. If the owner, or an authorized individual designated to retrieve the pets, is unavailable at the scheduled drop off time upon my arrival, the pets will be returned to my home and extended stay fees will be charged accordingly. In this situation, the owner is responsible for arranging pick up from my home and will be charged for each additional day the pets remain in my care until pick up is completed. Any pets not picked up within 24 hours of the agreed-upon pick up time, including situations in which pets are returned to my care following an unsuccessful drop off attempt, will be considered abandoned (this doesn’t include situations beyond the owner's control, such as a delayed flight, provided these incidents are communicated to me). In such cases, I reserve the right to surrender abandoned pets to the appropriate authorities, animal shelter, or rescue organization in accordance with local laws and regulations. Late pick up fees: • +$25 for pick ups that are 30–39 minutes late. • +$30 for pick ups that are 40–49 minutes late. • For pick ups 50+ minutes late, an additional day of boarding/daycare will be charged. Tasks unrelated to pet care: I’ll leave your home in the same condition I found it and will clean up after myself and your pets during my stay. My services don’t include general housekeeping tasks nor do they include deep cleaning unrelated to pet care. I’m happy to assist with small additional tasks, such as watering a few plants, provided these are discussed and agreed upon in advance. Outdoor cats: By booking with me, owners of outdoor cats acknowledge and accept that I’m not responsible for any disappearance, injury, illness, or death that occurs while their cats are outdoors during my stay, including, but not limited to, incidents involving other animals, vehicles, environmental hazards, or any other circumstances beyond my control. Indoor-only cats will be kept indoors at all times during my stay and won’t be allowed outside under any circumstances. Exotic animals: I’m most experienced in caring for rodents, especially rats, mice, gerbils, and hamsters. I don’t have any animal phobias, so I’m happy to care for a wide variety of other animals, including farm animals, rabbits, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and insects. For animals other than dogs and cats, please select the dog profile and choose “Other pets” in the breed dropdown. When booking, please list the species in your message. For small pets, I charge per habitat rather than per individual animal. For example, multiple small pets living in the same enclosure are counted as one dog, while separate habitats are counted individually.

About: I have grown up with pets and even found my first job working at an animal boarding house. You could say I learned to become a professional dog walker at a young age. I have two high anxiety dogs and have been working on their social skills and coping methods to help their anxiety. I work full-time from home but take frequent breaks to let the dogs go out and play and take multiple walks a day to give them exercise. Weekends are mostly free to cuddle and to play with the fur babies. When house sitting or boarding pets I stay close so they be taken care of as needed. I keep my own pets on a schedule feeding, potty breaks and play with puzzles to earn treats. I will follow clients care guidelines to maintain consistency and keep them comfortable while their owners are gone.

“Faith is so wonderful with my dogs. She walked them to the trail all the time which is their favorite place to walk. She even carried a bottle water for the dogs when the weather was very hot. I highly recommend Faith to other dogs owners.”

“So greatful for Melissa's help taking care of my cat Luna. At the time of my trip, Luna was recovering from a wound that needed special care. Melissa was not only able to manage her care and monitor progress, but also somehow managed to get my extremely shy cat to warm up to her, despite all the meds and special care routine. When I got back Luna was in tip-top shape and a lot less mad at me for leaving than she usually is. Melissa will definitely be my first call next time I need to travel.”

Anne S.

About: I've had the privilege of caring for dogs for over a decade. I have experience administering medication, walking, cleaning and playing with puppies and middle age dogs. I am a full time artist with quite an open and flexible schedule. I am available during the day during the week and flexible during weekends. I love playing and spending time with my own cat, catering to her needs and spending time together. I have no issue crating other's dogs if asked.

About: I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and breeds from when I worked at a doggy daycare that prioritized training. I am skilled in walking big leash pullers to dogs that bark at everything! I took several courses/practices in identifying dog body language in order to keep dogs and myself safe/comfortable. I currently work part time/go to school part time however I have plenty of time to care for your pet! Just let me know and we can find a time that works! I live by several parks that are perfect for dog walking, your pet can enjoy a nice scenic change anytime they need to use the bathroom! I currently do not have any dogs in my home so there won’t be any hassle if your dog is more solitary.

“Aaron did an absolutely fantastic job of taking care of our two senior cats! He was kind, prompt, attentive, and responsive. Unfortunately, one of our cats had an issue, but Aaron went above and beyond in attending to our cat’s needs as well as cleaning up after our cat. We highly recommend Aaron for taking care of your pets!”
