Cat Sitting in Minerva

“Our cats are so much more comfortable now that they've been able to build a relationship with Clover. Her consistency makes all the difference in the world 🌍”

Mindy A.

“We entrusted our two kittys with Abby while we were gone for 10 days. During that period, Abby kept us informed of her daily drop-in visits, including photos of our elusive critters. Upon our return, we found them in great condition, and they were not mad at us for leaving them with a then "stranger." Will definitely ask Abby to care for Larry & Bella the next time the need arises.”

About: I have a yellow lab and a scottish fold cat that I love taking care of! I am obsessed with animals and have always taken my lab on hikes, walks, and taught him tricks for fun! I am a very active person and I try and spend all of my free time outside. I am home from college for the summer and I’m only taking a few summer classes online so I have tons of time to make new fuzzy friends. I have a fenced in yard, a crate, lots of leashes and dog toys and treats. I have a car and can drive to anyone’s home and to the dog and park!

“Kaylee was great! We felt very safe leaving our cat even though she can be a bit stressful to leave”

“Gwendolyn was so great with our cat. He has separation anxiety but her calm caring nature kept him calm and happy while we were gone. She is very attentive to detail and a great communicator. She was such a treat!”

“We are so thankful to have found Shallise. She did a great job taking care of our kitty while we were out of town. Our kitty doesn’t take to new people quickly but Shallise was very good with him and he was comfortable with her right away. She obviously takes her responsibility to her clients seriously. She responds to messages quickly and is flexible and creative in getting needs met. I completely trust her in our home with our kitties. She did an awesome job.”

About: In my years of being a pet owner and pet sitter, I have become accustomed to learning dogs different cues, and allowing them to show when they are comfortable while still being in control. I also do simple grooming and most of all I will show your pet the love and care I would my own. I have my regular job Monday's and Thursdays and the rest I can dedicate to helping out with your four legged friends via walks or pet/house sitting. I have 6 cats and one dog in my home. All of which receive weekly grooming, regularly scheduled meals and appropriate vet care. I will do my absolute best to keep the routine you have set for your pets in your absence.

“Stephanie is a pro! We hired her for a drop in visit and could not have been happier. We have two big rowdy dogs and Stephanie was calm and confident, and kept us posted throughout our evening.”

I live with my sister and she is able to comfort my baby when I’m needed for your fur baby. At the moment I cannot take pets into my home but I’m happy to do so in their own environment. I’m open to negotiating just about any kind of care. If I am unable to do something I will be up front with you about my comfort level. I want you to have what I have when I travel, a person that is dedicated to the health and happiness of your pet so you worry less and enjoy your time away knowing I got your back.

About: I have 3 medium breed dogs(a lab, 2 collies). I love dogs and would love to take care of yours! I can visit in the mornings or later evenings. I’m avaiable most weekends during the day. On weekdays, I will be available during the morning hours before 11pm. If you would like me to pet sit, I’m avilable overnight to stay or visit mutilple times a day. I’ve been dog sitting and an owner for over 5 years. I have experience with older dog care and will be willing to take care of dogs with special needs and dietary issues. big breeds and multiple dogs are welcome. I will be willing to provide treats and toys for dogs in my care. I live out in the country so I have tons of free time to spend with my animals in a calm and relaxing environment and we do our best to soak up the sun this summer. I really enjoy meeting new animals and I plan on treating them like my own fur babies I have at home! Treats, attention, and play time!

About: Growing up in a loving home filled with all kind of animals helped me become the person I am now. Pets are our children and should always be cared for and loved. I currently work part time and would like to add more activities in my day to day life. Pet care is extremely important. On days off I do like to go on small beach hikes or have a day in which work perfect. I have 2 fur babies that are loved immensely and extremely sweet. My 9 year old Pitbull has been around extremely high energy puppies/dogs and although he wants to keep up he spends most times taking a nap in the back yard. I also have a 10 year old tabby cat who also spends most of the day sleeping but becomes very excited when it’s time for his meals. I have both a back and front yard…they are not fenced in and have not had any issues this far. Although I know my babies will not run I would not run the risk of that happening to yours. I promise before stepping out side your babies will be securely by my side the entire time. My husband also loves going on hikes and is a sucker for playing fetch.

“Renee was wonderfully with our 2 dogs.”

“Carrie did a great job with my cat Tiger! She knows cats well. I appreciated her staying in touch texting me notes while we were gone. She left the house just as I had for her, which was spotless. We’ll definitely invite her back. She’s day to communicate with.”
