Cat Sitting Monticello

About: I’ve loved animals throughout my life and have always been comfortable around dogs of all sizes, including very large breeds. I grew up with a German Shepherd and have spent years interacting with dogs through family, friends, and my work in clients’ homes. When I worked in housekeeping, many of my clients had large dogs, so I became comfortable entering and working in homes where dogs were present while respecting their space, routines, and boundaries. I’m comfortable getting down on the floor to play, giving a dog time to warm up to me, and paying attention to their body language rather than forcing interaction. I’m not a dog trainer, and my focus is not training. My goal is simple: to provide attentive, dependable care and make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I work a rotating 2-2-3 night-shift schedule, which gives me several days off each week. My availability varies by work cycle, but I can accommodate pet-care visits throughout the week when scheduled around my work hours and rest time. My approach to pet care is calm, attentive, and affectionate. I follow your pet’s established routine for meals, bathroom breaks, and other needs. Expect plenty of affection, playtime, companionship, and a relaxed presence. I respect each pet’s personality and boundaries while keeping their comfort and safety a priority.

“Erika was exceptional! She took care of our two cats for 6 days and did a wonderful job. She was reliable, consistent, and responsive. She sent us daily photos, and it put our minds at ease just knowing our kitties were being well cared for by her. She even checked in to ensure we were back home so that the cats had continued care. I highly recommend her services and would rebook with her again for sure.”

About: My passion has always been caring for animals, which is why I chose a career as a zookeeper. In recent years I have worked with exotic animals including bats, birds of prey, and reptiles however before that I worked as a kennel supervisor caring for dogs and cats. My passion for animals in never ending and as a zookeeper, I’m no stranger to the less glamorous side of animal care. Whether caring for a playful puppy, a senior pet, or an animal with special needs, I understand that every pet is unique. I take pride in providing the same patience, attention to detail, and compassionate care that I would want for my own pets. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available Monday through Friday, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide whatever they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply some extra company and cuddles. I’m also happy to discuss specific schedules and routines to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away! I care for my clients pets like they are my own. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets and I make sure to follow their routine to keep them comfortable.

About: For 15 years, I've been caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—and I believe every pet deserves a little VIP treatment! Think of my approach as a mix of loving home, pet spa, and adventure camp. Whether your pet loves belly rubs, puppy massages, squeaky toys, long walks, outdoor adventures, or simply curling up for a cozy nap, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I've cared for energetic puppies, helped reinforce basic puppy training over an extended stay, and provided gentle, compassionate care for a senior dog during his final days. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and comfort levels. My home is pet-ready with a toy box, cozy orthopedic dog bed, treats (with your approval!), and a supervised balcony with artificial grass for fresh air and people-watching. There's even a dog park just a short walk from my back door! I also enjoy taking pets on adventures—from neighborhood walks and nearby trails to scenic car rides when the weather isn't ideal, always with your permission. Need a special meal prepared, a bath, medication administered according to your instructions, or extra TLC? Let's talk about your pet's needs and what I can comfortably accommodate. My goal is simple: Your pet should feel like they're on vacation while you're away—and you should feel confident they're in loving hands. I primarily work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of companionship, attention, and personalized care throughout the day. I typically plan walks, potty breaks, and playtime every 3–4 hours, but I'm happy to adjust based on your pet's age, energy level, health, and established routine. My days can include morning walks, afternoon play sessions, cuddle breaks, enrichment activities, and evening wind-down time. For pets who enjoy exploring, I'm always up for an approved outdoor adventure or scenic car ride! Because I'm home much of the day, your pet won't just be waiting around for attention. They'll be part of my daily routine, with plenty of opportunities for interaction, exercise, rest, and affection. Whether your pet is a high-energy explorer or a professional couch companion, I'll work to make their stay feel comfortable, familiar, and fun. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved family member in someone else's care, and I take that responsibility seriously. In my home: Pets enjoy a comfortable, welcoming apartment with toys, an orthopedic dog bed, cozy resting spots, and a supervised balcony with artificial grass for enjoying fresh air. There's a dog park just outside my building, and I provide regular walks and outdoor play based on your pet's needs and comfort level. I follow your instructions regarding feeding, treats, medications, exercise, sleeping arrangements, and routines. I always ask about allergies, dietary restrictions, behavioral considerations, and anything that might make your pet anxious or uncomfortable. In your home: I respect your space and your pet's established routine. My goal is to keep their environment familiar and minimize disruption while providing reliable, attentive care. I never assume that every pet enjoys the same activities. Dog parks, trail walks, car rides, interactions with other animals, and special treats are always discussed with you first. I'm also happy to share photos and updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and affection—as though they're part of my own family.

“Heidi was very professional and friendly. The cats took to her right away and got a lot of love and attention. All directions were followed and pictures were given with updates. Would book again!”

About: I am a veterinary assistant (coming from a emergency and specialty hospital setting) with a background of animal boarding/daycare experience which includes basic grooming (nail trimming, anal gland expression, bathing...), training, and play. I'm comfortable and experienced with all types of animal behavior and am more than happy to accommodate special needs! I am skilled in dog and cat medication administration: intranasally, subcutaneously, orally, and intramuscularly. I am also RECOVER certified in dog/cat CPR BLS/ALS and well versed in handling animal emergencies and events. I am also comfortable with chicken (just chickens at this point in my career), rabbit, and guinea pig care including SQ, IM, and oral medication administration. I love animals and i'm elated to have the opportunity to take care of your babies! I'm currently a part-time worker at a general family vet practice and pick up shifts occasionally at an emergency veterinary hospital. My schedule is a little flexible due to this fact and my availability will reflect this! I do own two (2) cats of my own and will ask if your pet is comfortable with being left for maximum 2 hours at a time, no more than once a day so I can check up on them. This is for house sitting only. When visiting your home I'll be conscious of how your pet receives me. For bright, young puppies and kittens, I'll keep them entertained and stimulated for the length of my visit, making sure there is no signs of trouble or illness. I'll be sure to clean and sanitize myself before and after each visit with these puppies/kittens to ensure their safety and health. The same applies with young and old adult dogs and cats, taking into consideration the special needs that come with age.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments for over 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and I’ll make sure you feel at ease with regular updates and communication. I work 12-hour hospital shifts, so my availability can vary slightly week to week, but I’m intentional about only accepting bookings I can fully commit to. On my days off, I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, walks, playtime, and care they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and genuine love. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animal, so I make safety, comfort, and communication a priority. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs so your pet feels secure, cared for, and as relaxed as possible while you’re away.
