Information Timothy A. would like to know about your pet

It’s really helpful for me to know your pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs ahead of time. I also like to know about feeding schedules, medications, triggers/anxieties, favorite toys or activities, how they are around other people or pets, and any house rules you’d like followed. The more I know, the more comfortable, safe, and happy I can keep your pet while you’re away.

A typical day

like to match the pet’s energy and personality. For active dogs, that means walks, fetch, tug-of-war, trips to the park, or working on simple tricks for treats and mental stimulation. For more laid-back pets, I’m happy to do cuddle time, belly rubs, enrichment toys, and relaxed companionship. I always make sure pets feel safe, engaged, and loved while their owners are away.

I Will Treat Your Pet Like My Own

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a reliable and patient pet sitter with experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities..from super social and playful to more independent or shy. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I always take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and boundaries. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with: • Feeding routines and fresh water care • Litter box cleaning and maintenance • Playtime and enrichment • Giving space to more reserved or anxious cats • Monitoring behavior and overall well-being I’m very detail-oriented and will make sure everything is done exactly how you prefer. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is doing well.

I’m very grateful for Timothy! He was able to check on my cat, Moose, with very, very short notice and was super flexible! He sent many pictures each visit and Moose loved him! I will definitely be reaching out again if I go out of town 😊😊

Our kitties loved Tim, and they were very happy and calm when we returned home. He provided lots of play time for the younger cats, and lots of photos while we were away. I think they were disappointed it wasn't Tim when we walked in the door!
