Cat Sitting Meriden

“Julie was great! She took wonderful care of my cat and completely won him over (which is tough to do). I would definitely recommend her to other pet parents looking for a reliable sitter.”

About: I’m happy to care for any of your pets - big, small, furry, scaly, or feathered! I have experience with a wide variety of animals throughout both my personal and professional life. I grew up with dogs and cats and have extensive experience caring for small furry critters like rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and chinchillas, as well as scaly and cold-blooded companions. I also have experience caring for birds and many other species. I was raised on a horse farm and have worked on a dairy farm and in a veterinary clinic, taught animal science, trained guide dogs, and volunteered with my local humane society as a cat foster. I’ve been an animal owner and caregiver my entire life, so caring for animals is more than just a job to me - it’s something I genuinely love. Need someone to love your pets while you’re away? I’d be happy to help! I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate many timeframes to take care of your pet to ensure their needs are met (and exceeded)! When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care your pet may need. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and make sure they receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and love. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe and well cared for. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, leaving things clean and tidy when you return. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets as I would my own -with patience, compassion, and lots of love!

“Kejda was great and so good with our puppy! I felt comfortable and trusted her with her and Roxie had a great time. 10/10 would recommend & have her watch our animals again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10. I’ve always treated pets like family and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and patience. I’m also comfortable caring for energetic dogs and making sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I have flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to dedicate time throughout the day to walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m comfortable building my day around a pet’s individual routine and making sure they don’t feel rushed or overlooked. Whether that means a morning walk, midday check-in, some playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and welcome. I keep a clean and calm environment, follow their normal feeding and bathroom routines, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also take time to learn each pet’s personality and respect their individual comfort level. Whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer to relax and stay close to me, I want them to feel like they’re in a home where they’re genuinely cared for.

“Susan was great with my 2 cats. She sent pictures of them every day and spent time visiting and playing with them. She also let me know when there were a couple of other issues at my house and she handled them for me. I would highly recommend her as she is really good with pets. I would definitely book with her again.”

About: I've had pets since a young age from lizards, cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles, guinea pigs and birds. I have a small dog of my own so I know I can give your pets lots the love and attention too whether they have fur, scales, or feathers! I work from home so all pets get get a lot of attention during the day. For dogs staying in my home, they get 3 walks a day in the morning, during my lunch break, and in the evening. I work from home so all pets get a lot of attention during the day. I love to spend my time after work going on walks and would love a buddy(s) to come with me! I am available from dog walking or in home visits after 5:15pm during the week and anytime on weekends. I think the best way to care for a pet is do exactly what they're comfortable with. I intend to have very open communication with pet parents to understand the likes, dislikes and behaviors of their fur-babies to make sure that they feel safe and comfortable. I do have a dog of my own so I also want to make sure all your pets get along with my Jax, who loves other animals.

“Crystal was absolutely amazing!!!! She was attentive to detail, reliable, kind & professional! She truly went above and beyond! Plus her photos and updates were top tier! Lol I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting/dog walking needs!”

About: Hi there! My name is Ellie, and I’m a passionate animal lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have pups of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member — and I treat every pet I meet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk to burn off energy, a drop-in to check on meals and snuggles, or full-on overnight care, I’ve got you covered. I’m reliable, patient, and fully committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them the care they deserve! I currently work full-time during the day, but pet care is truly a passion of mine and a fulfilling part of my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins and walks in the early mornings before work and in the evenings after I get home. In some cases, I’m also able to swing by during my lunch break for a quick visit, depending on location and timing. I also offer overnight stays, which allows me to spend quality, uninterrupted time with your pet — perfect for dogs who need extra comfort or company while you’re away. While my weekday daytime availability is limited, I’m dependable, communicative, and always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve when I’m with them! When your pet is in my care, their well-being is my top priority. I understand that every animal has their own unique needs, routines, and personalities — and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that makes them feel safe, seen, and loved. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, with patience, affection, and respect. I’m mindful, responsible, and always keep safety at the forefront — whether that’s making sure harnesses are secure, sticking to feeding instructions, or giving them their favorite toy at just the right moment. I believe animals know when someone truly cares for them — and I make it my mission to create a peaceful, loving environment where your pet can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

About: A forever-friend of animals and pets of all sizes. Experienced, friendly, reliable and flexible. Looking forward to meeting your pets and providing care and companionship for your loved ones. I am pursuing a degree part-time and have a flexible work schedule. I am centrally located in Middletown, CT and am willing to drive within about an hour of there to provide care. I like connecting with you and your pet before sitting to develop rapport and to get an understanding of their routines. I like to mirror the way you provide a safe environment for them within your home. This offers a sense of consistency and calm in what may sometimes feel like a stress-inducing situation for your animal. Their safety and health are the priority while they are under my care.

About: I have had dogs for my whole life, and I currently have one of my own, so I have plenty experience caring for everyone's favorite friends, doing every day tasks, such as feeding and walking, but also administering medication and supplements if needed. I am currently attending graduate school with classes in the afternoon, but I am available Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings/early afternoons and the entire weekend. My free-time on Mondays and Fridays is limited, but I will do my best to fulfill all requests. I have extra leashes and doggy bags to be ready for any situations on a walk! I am respectful and clean for any homes I have to stop by!

“Veronica did a great job taking care of our cat Cheese! We came back to a healthy happy kitty and knowing we had someone we could trust gave us great peace of mind while we were away.”

“Patricia was a fantastic sitter! It was the first time we left our cat at our apartment with a sitter and when we came home he was as happy and healthy as always!”

Michelle L.

“We are so incredibly happy we found Yareisy to care for our kitty Bodhi! Being away from him is always hard, especially since he needs medication twice a day, can get spicy at times and is still grieving months after losing his brother. We really appreciated receiving plenty of photos and detailed updates every day while we were away. We came home to the sweetest personalized card and a little cat-themed gift, which was such a thoughtful surprise!😻 It truly made us smile and shows the type of person she is. We are definitely booking her again for future stays and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, thoughtful cat sitter. Thank you so much Yareisy! Wish we found you sooner. You’re a gem🫶🏼”

About: I have been taking care of my own dog since I was 8 years old. I have been surrounded by dogs my whole entire life as my family and I are big dog lovers. I also have experience with cats because I have 5 cats as well! I have experience with senior dog care as well! At this time, I can care for pets at any time during the week, with some short time spans not available here and there. For example if I were to have a doctors appointment At this time, I am able to take care of dogs in my own home as well as in the clients home. If it is an overnight, I do prefer it to be in my home. Safety is always important to me and I always make sure the house is similar to “baby proofed” so the animal can’t get into anything dangerous or escape.
