Cat Sitting in Minerva

“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 experience dog walking and sitting for 5 years. I make sure they’re exercised while having fun;) From bathing them, administering medications, to any other specific care they need, I am here for you and your pet! I am self employed, so I completely make my own schedule. I am mostly available whenever you need. Some weekends may be unavailable, but the more notice given, the likelier I’ll be available. I would be caring for them in your home. I make sure to spend adequate time with them, whether it be playing, walking, or just giving them attention! I’m available to give them plenty of potty breaks as well.

“Great communication over the length of the visit!”

About: I grew up in Alaska running around the woods with family dogs and even cared for a few litters of puppies in the house. I have over 1000 hours of experience in dog and cat sitting. I've sat for Tibetan Terriers, played tug-o-war with Italian Mastiffs, watched movies with Pit Bull mixes, rolled in the grass with Golden Retrievers , played tag with Labs and booped noses with Beagles. My current apartment does not allow dogs, so I thought this would be a great way to help folks out and get some doggos back in my life. I can match your pup's energy level and I'm comfortable administering medications and following special care instructions. I work mornings Monday through Friday, so even on weekdays I'll have plenty of daylight time to go on walks and play in the yard. My present schedule is completely flexible, and I can even be with your pet 24 hours a day, if you let me know ahead of time. I'm happy to come give your lil guys the time and care they need. Building trust with a pet is so important, and I love the process of getting to know a new fuzzy friend at their own pace.

“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.”

About: Ever since I was a baby, I have had a minimum of three pets in the house. As of right now, my family has three dogs, two cats, two goats, five ducks, and will be getting two little lambs to join our family in this coming month! I adore animals and love to just hang out and provide some love to them. I am 100% what you would call an animal person and I know how to care and support your pets. I’m at home right now after just finishing up my first year of college, and as I’m continuing to be a full time (online) student, I’m looking for a way where I can still make money but not be drowning in work. On top of that, I think being payed to hang out and love pets is one of the best jobs I could ever get :) I make sure that pets are safe and cared for at all times. As someone who loves animals, my top priority is making sure pets aren’t stressed out or scared in their environment. I would make sure that the home is loving and structured to make the pets comfortable.

About: I’m currently on my 9th rescue and most of my pets were adopted as seniors. Currently live with my dog Luna a pit bull, but I’ve had a number of breeds, and 2 cats Maximoose and Weeble. I’m open to puppies and kittens. I am able to administer meds, play with and keep your babies company, even overnight. I’m currently working part time and my schedule is very flexible. 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.

“Gwendolyn took great care of my two cats while I was gone. The older one takes a lot of medications and the younger one needs a fair amount of attention. Gwendolyn gave my two babies all they needed and more. Plus, the place looked great when I returned. Would definitely recommend!”

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.

“Jessica did an amazing job dropping in and checking on our three little dogs for the day. She gave them all lots of attention and were very happy when we got home. She also sent great updates with photos. We will definitely use Jessica to watch our dogs again!”

About: Hi! My name is Morgan. I genuinely love animals and have a huge heart. I’ve cared for many pets over my lifetime; both my own pets and others’. My own pets have included, labradors, a border collie, a Shepard mix, and 7 cats. I have worked with search dogs as a part of professional search and rescue team in Texas and am aware of positive reinforcement training techniques (treats and toys). When I was a teen I worked at disabled veterans winter sports clinics in Colorado as volunteer, taking care of service dogs while the veterans participated in activities. In addition, I have two bark box subscriptions…for my friends’ dogs. I truly love cats. I love spending time with them, and I understand that each cat is unique and has unique needs. I’ve had 7 cats…all of which had different personalities, likes/dislikes, and levels of comfort with humans and other animals. I can provide your kitty with plenty of love and affection, playtime…or just give them the space they need and provide them with simple care and safety. Whether your kitty is a “one brain cell orange”, a fluffy friendly tuxedo, a sassy “void” black cat…I can love and care for any kitty out there! Thank you for considering me to care for your pet! My prices reflect the level of care your pet receives. I am cautious, kind, and follow all instructions. I will comfort your pet if they need it, play with them (if they want), and I will send you photos and updates throughout the day. I have seen cheaper prices offered here, and it being such a small community, I know some of these pet sitters personally and their level of care is much lower than what I offer. I work full time but am only in the office one day a week so I have a flexible schedule to care for animals in your home, or take your pet for a walk. The security and safety of your pet is of utmost importance to me. When I care for pets in your home I follow your instructions exactly to provide the safe, consistent, loving care for your pet in your home.

About: Since childhood I have been caretakers to dogs, cats, hamsters and even fish. I even saved my parents cats life using a cpr technique used on infants. I have been a door dash driver for years as it easily fits into my lifestyle, recently adding grub hub and instacart to my resume. This will fit perfectly into my schedule. I live on property with my family on about an acre of fenced yard very dog friendly. I let my dog have free reign of the property. I would care for your animal as you specify and with great attention to detail.

About: I love animals and have always had a house full. Currently I have a pack of 3 dogs at my house. When I work with animals I accustom myself to what they like and I'm very knowledgeable! Life is about approach. We are all different as are animals in what is comfortable for them. I'm available anytime I'm needed. I have had a dog all my life so it would be my pleasure to help you care for yours as need be. I can't wait to meet your animal and show them the love you give while you are away. I have worked with many animals in the past and dogs are by far my favorite! Thank you again It has been part of my life all my life to care for all sorts of animals. I love being able to assist in whatever I need to do for them to be happy and comfortable I will care for your animal the exact way you would expect ok if you were home! I will bring the same energy as you would

“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.”
