Cat Sitting Midway

About: Being raised on a small farm, there have always been cats & dogs around to share in the ups & downs of life. I love leaning into each individual's personality and working with positive reenforcement to catch the animals doing good behavior! I have experience training/working with dogs of all ages. Sometimes our furry friends need extra care. I am experienced in oral medicine administration, wound care, ear & eye treatments (if need be)! I am available for pet care on a daily basis. I care for my cats & dog daily. If ever I need backup support, I have a network of folks willing to lend a hand. When pet sitting, I follow the instructions given by the owner regarding when to feed, how much food, how often they need to go outside. Beyond that, I typically tidy up the space every evening, sweeping/vacuuming, refreshing waters, etc. I try to develop a routine so that the animals know what to expect and can relax into a sense of order. I generally find ways that each animal likes to play and find games that are fun and rewarding.

“Another fantastic period of drop-in visits with Xanthia and her kiddos! Wonderful communication and she was so accommodating to make things work for us on relatively short notice. It's a great feeling to know my kitties are getting such good care when I'm out of town. Thank you!”

“Sara was wonderful and took a super last minute booking to let our girl out to potty. She was able to get there in under 10 minutes and loved on my pup.”

About: It’s hard to find someone to trust to watch your fur babies. I’m hoping to give you peace of mind when you are away. I can be flexible to a pet’s needs including exercise, socialization, potty schedule and medication regiments. I can’t think of a time in my life we didn’t have animals. As a child I wanted to be a Veterinarian. I worked at an animal hospital for a few years in my early 20’s. It was a great experience. I live close to a dog park and Forest Park or will take your dog on a run if needed. Also, there is also an emergency vet clinic nearby; just in case. A daily check in can be provided including photos. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!! I work from home so my pet routine with Lilly and Winston grounds me. Especially for morning and evening feedings and daily walks. As they are getting older our activity has slowed but I’m ready to meet the exercise levels for any pet that I’m sitting. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs. I have been working with animals nearly my whole life so adding new animals to our pack is second nature.

About: I have experience working in a pet health care cooperation where I was able to develop skills in taking care of dogs and gain experience on what it is like to provide love and tender care. With the understanding that every dog is different I strive my best to cater to each of their needs. I am energetic but also know when it is best to take a break therefore I will always make sure each dog has fun and also plenty rest when need be. I am flexible, responsible, and most importantly caring. Futhermore, I am very communicative and will make sure to be prompt and present in a timely manner. I will make sure that I maximize every experience with every furry friend I encounter! I have a fully open schedule, as I stay at home to focus on my passion for caring for animals. This means your pet will receive consistent attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Because I’m home full-time, your pet will receive plenty of attention, interactive play sessions, enrichment, fresh food and water, clean spaces, and lots of love. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, including medications, feeding schedules, walks, and any special preferences. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure home where every pet receives individualized care and close supervision. Because I’m home full-time, your pet is rarely left alone and will enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and affection throughout the day. For boarding, I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play. Cats have their own private rooms, giving them a quiet, stress-free space to relax and adjust at their own pace. My own pets are friendly and well-socialized, but they remain separate from boarding guests unless an introduction is specifically requested and appropriate. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. I also take the time to understand each pet’s personality and body language, allowing me to respond appropriately to their individual needs and help them feel safe and secure. To give you peace of mind, I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own, creating a loving environment where they can relax, have fun, and feel at home while you’re away.

“Katie was amazing! Katie showed up on time, was very respectful of my home and showed great understanding of just what my older senior cat needed. Katie sent me pictures at every check-in and made sure my baby was eating while I was gone ( which was my biggest concern with going away!). Thank you Katie! Will definitely be using Katie’s services again and would highly recommend.”

About: Hi there! I am someone who genuinely loves animals and understands how important it is to find a sitter you can fully trust with your pet. Pets are part of our family! I approach pet sitting with patience, consistency, and communication with owners. I adapt my care style to match every pets personality and energy. I am comfortable working with younger pets who need calm guidance and stimulation as well as older seniors who may need a slower pace, extra patience, medication and low stress environment. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, I aim to provide the same level of care and attention I would want for my own animals! I have a very open and flexible schedule! You can highly expect me to accept times and dates requested through the app. I expect my schedule to stay this consistent for at least the next 4-5 months. I currently have 2 cats at home and would not be able to take in pets but am more than willing to drive to take care of pets in the comfort of their own home! I take time to understand each pets needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, etc. I aim to create a low-stress, caring environment while treating your home with respect and keeping you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: My own dog recently passed away at the age of 20, so I am an expert in care for Senior Pets and Special Needs (blindness, deafness, etc), and a calm and patient sitter for anxious dogs. I am very experienced with medication and specialized diets. Your pet will have a wonderful time in my care! I run my own businesses and am very flexible at the current time to care for your pets! I can even bring my work with me on occasion if needed. I am very respectful of your space and often take dogs out to the park or somewhere outdoors to play if there is no yard. Your animals will get plenty of playtime and love, and I value staying in close communication should any issues arise!

About: I have cared for kitties my entire life and am currently the happy kitty parent of 3 rescue kitties. I know how important it is to have someone you trust to visit and care for your furry family members while traveling. I am patient and will work toward earning your kitty's trust while also paying attention to your care details given to keep to their ritual and schedule so they are happy and content. I have been a dance artist and movement dance educator for 27+ years, but I love animals, have always cared for them, and enjoy spending time with them. I am available for 1-2 drop-in visits daily to care for your kitties for short or longer trips while you take vacations, business trips, etc. I am available for last-minute requests for visits; most of the time, I ask for 24-hour notice. I am very detail-oriented and will follow the specific instructions that you give me to care for your kitties. I know how important it is for kitties to stay on a schedule to stay healthy, happy, and content.

About: I’m excited to meet you and your pets! I’m experienced with every animal. I can assist you with training and learning your pets language with half the cost of personal trainers. I believe that our pets are family, I will take care of yours like my own. I understand nutritional, medical, and behavior traits in animals, especially dogs! I will greet you, note some basic day-to-day agenda for your animal and you can take care of what you need to. I provide a wide amount of services, including basic grooming and check-ups. Let me know what your pet needs and I’ll see if I can accommodate! Huge backyard and plenty of toys in my home. My dog loves to play with others and nothing wears doggos out more than another dog! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility and availability for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-ins, and plenty of playtime and attention. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog who love having company. I’ll provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your pet while following their normal routine and any special instructions.

“Kaylee was a big help on Thanksgiving for my elderly pup. She wasn’t able to complete the second drop in due to a car accident but she told me right away and we got things sorted. She is a great help and follows instructions well.”

“She was wonderful with my dogs and very responsive!! I definitely appreciate her being able to help on short notice!”

About: From middle school to college, my family cared for a sweet rescue pup named Ginger! I cuddled with her as often as I could, played music for her, and took her on walks to chase rabbits. Nowadays I live with an adorable cat aptly named Kitty (who's napping against my leg as I type this)! She's my landlady's pet; I look after Kitty every time I'm alone in the house, and Kitty always brightens up my day. :)) I want to learn more about different pet personalities and how to care for them with the respect they deserve. I keep my eye out for unique behaviors and body language quirks, and I'm always game for playtime to help keep their minds and bodies enriched. If your pet likes music, let me know and I'll bring my flute or cello over to entertain them! As a recent college grad, I've got an early morning part-time retail job and am in the midst of applying for a second daytime gig. I anticipate having some afternoons and evenings free! I treat home visits like a peaceful hike in the woods - leave no trace, and enjoy the company! I don't go poking and prodding around unless instructed to. I DO give lots of head pats and scritches if pets want them! I'm careful to refrain from over- and under-feeding pets, and I'm always open to hearing what I can do to improve in any area of pet care. If you'd like photos or videos of your pet(s) from my visits, I'll happily oblige!

About: I have cared for animals of all kinds since I was a kid. I have experience with dogs, cats, chinchillas, chickens, hamsters, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. I love all animals, and will happily care for your fur baby/ies and other critters! I currently work part time from home, and have flexibility throughout the week. Aside from school drop off and pick ups on Mondays, I am available most days. I can drop in as often as 3 x per day to feed, walk, and/or play with your animal. I can play fetch in your fenced yard, or take them for a spirited walk or run to get their energy out.

About: Growing up my family had multiple dogs ranging from all ages and sizes so I’ve always been pretty familiar with caring for them. As an adult I am unfortunately not a dog owner (yet), but my roommate has a family dog which she brings over every few weeks and I help care for him as if he was my own. As a career nanny I’ve really only worked with families who have dogs and although its never technically been a part of my job description I’ve always been trusted to take both kiddos & doggos out for walks. Nothing would make me happier than caring for your fur baby! At the moment I only work part time (9am~1pm Tue-Fri) and have a lot of free time on my hands! Might be subject to change in the future depending on my employment. Because I live in a second floor apartment I unfortunately don't have a fenced in yard but there is an empty wide open field right next to my apartments to which I usually take my dog nephew when he is over and he loves it. Depending on the dog they can be leashed or unleashed, I am fine with either. I do have two cats of my own so boarding is preferred for smaller cat friendly dogs but I have no issue dropping in to check on fur babies in their own homes.

“Johnna provided excellent care for my three cats, Ole, Oskar and Ozzy. Excellent communication, punctual and responsible. Don't hesitate to book her to care for your pet!”
