Cat Sitting Mount Olympus

About: If I had to choose between a room full of people and a room full of animals, I’m choosing the animals. Every single time. I’ve been an animal person for as long as I can remember, and I genuinely believe that caring for someone’s pet is a huge responsibility. I have two beloved cats of my own who are my entire world, so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your animals in someone else’s care. I don’t take that trust lightly. My cats are strictly indoor cats, and I’m extremely attentive to keeping them safe and secure. I know how important it is to follow each pet’s specific routine and boundaries—from making sure doors are never accidentally left open to keeping potential hazards out of reach. The little details matter, and when it comes to animals, I’m pretty obsessive about them. I’m the person who notices if your pet’s water bowl is getting low, double-checks the door before leaving, makes sure there isn’t a rogue hair tie or piece of string within reach, and will happily send you way too many photos because I know you want to see your fur baby. 🙂 I’m naturally very organized, attentive, and probably a little Type A when it comes to animal safety and wellbeing, which is exactly how I think it should be! I also have a huge soft spot for pit bulls. I absolutely adore their goofy, sweet, big-hearted personalities. But honestly, I love creatures of all kinds. I’m the person who will carefully escort a spider outside rather than squish it. Every animal deserves kindness, patience, and respect. During the week, I work from home in a corporate role, which gives me flexibility in my schedule and allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m reliable, communicative, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would expect from someone caring for my own. Whether your pet is a social butterfly who wants to play, a couch potato who just wants company, or a little more cautious and needs someone to earn their trust, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your pets are FAMILY. And I’d be honored to take care of yours. 💚🐾 I work from home in a corporate role Monday-Friday, so I have a flexible schedule and availability throughout the day. I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. I love having animals as part of my day, so they’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long stretches. I’m extremely detail-oriented when it comes to animal safety and care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and any specific instructions you leave. I’m especially mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and potential hazards, and I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care I would my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My two cats are strictly outdoors and not once have they ever gotten out, nor have I ever not been aware of where they are at all times.

“Emma thank you so much for taking incredible care of the kitties while we were away. They were well cared for! Our trip was enhanced, knowing and trusting I could relax where they were concerned, thank you!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands on experience caring for pups of all kinds. I grew up with dogs, so being around them has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also provided pet sitting and drop-in care for friends and family, building strong bonds with each dog I look after!! I’m comfortable working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to get to know their individual needs and routines so they feel safe and cared for. I also have experience administering medications and can confidently follow any specific care instructions you provide! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! I make my own schedule for my job so I can be very flexible. I’m most available in the mornings and mid-day to stop in for check ins or walks. I’m dedicated to making your dog feel as comfortable as possible! I understand every dog has different levels of trust with new people, and I’m totally happy going with the pace they want.

“Diana was a great cat sitter! She took excellent care of my cat and provided fun pics and comprehensive updates. She was very communicative as well.”

About: My whole life I've grown up with many dogs and I absolutely adore them!! I love walking them, playing with them, taking them out for car rides, etc. For a little over three years now I've been dogsitting and catsitting for my dad's friends. I've cared for cats previously, but I didn't have my very first cat until very recently, and I adore them as well! I'm more than willing to scoop litter, pick up after they potty, walk pets, and have a designated play time with them (: Now that I'm back in school, I won't be as available to be with dogs during the day time. Monday through thursday, I have classes for about 4 hours at a time. I am still more than able to stay overnight with the doggies, as well as walk them in the afternoon or morning. At night, I usually work for about 5/6 hours, and am flexible enough to check on pets after work as well. Since cats don't require to be let outside, I'll be much more flexible with catsitting than dogsitting, but am still willing to do both! I usually work at my job 3-4 nights a week. In client's homes I make sure to spend a good amount of time with pets because I know they're missing their owners. I give them treats, pet them, cuddle with them, and walk them. Before I leave for anywhere I make sure that they have food, water, and they've used the potty, that way clients can be assured there will be no accidents in the home, and their pet is being properly cared for. Some cats prefer to spend time alone, and if that's the case, of course I have no problem leaving them be. As a pet owner myself, I can tell when sometimes the pets don't want to play and just wanna nap, or when they want to be left alone. Additionally, I make sure to take care of their house and clean up after myself! Beforehand, I'd love to meet with the client that way I can get to know everyone, and build some trust between me, the client, and the pet (:

“Zanubia was super communicative and took good care of our 3 cats. She kept us up to date on which ones she saw (we have 2 that regularly hide with new people) and took cute photos of the ones she saw. Would use again and would recommend!”

“After having trouble deciding what to do, we were blessed to find Sandi. This was our first time leaving our cat and we couldn't have found a better person to watch over her. Our cat tends to be shy and wants to stay away from people, but in the short time Sandi watched over her, our cat quickly got attached to Sandi. We loved all the pictures we got while we were away. Thank you for taking care of our little Sammy.”

“Karlla was wonderful!! She helped us out last minute for cat sitting over Thanksgiving. Our cat, Falkor’s not super friendly but she loved Karlla and came up to her every time she came over. We really loved the photos too, they were so cute!! We felt really comfortable leaving our cat at home and would love to use Karlla again.”

“Laynee was great with my cats and easy to book with! Fast responses and good communication. She sent nice photos as well, would book with her again!”

About: I’ve had animals in my life from the very beginning! We always had dogs and cats growing up and I got to experience the wide range that different personalities can bring. From a feisty rat terrier to an energetic GSP, I’m happy to jump in and do what’s needed. I love being active, so happy to take them for a walk or throw the ball around. Also happy to sit back and enjoy calm time together if that’s more their style. I work remote two days a week on Thursdays and Fridays and am around most weekends when needed! I can be pretty flexible to meet your needs. I have always lived by the standard that pets are part of the family. My three cats are my children and when your pets are in my care, I will treat them with the same level of love and responsibility as I do my own.

About: I grew up with an Anatolian shepherd lab mix and 2 cats and have been sitting/dog walking for friends and family for the last 10 years! I currently have 2 cats at home who were raised with a 50 pound dog, so I get the perfect mix of both worlds!! Especially when my cats try to bark at the front door and rip up their toys. I can’t wait to meet your best friends! I work early mornings to afternoons, so I am free to drop by first thing in the morning, afternoon, or late at night depending on your needs! I’m flexible for those situations where you can’t be home and just want the peace of mind knowing what your pets are up to! I would treat your pets as I do at home. I would never let your pets live in a situation that I wouldn’t be comfortable with myself! I’m here to make sure the time without their owners feels shorter

About: I recently have had 4 pets. two dogs and two cats . unfortunately our cats have passed away unexpectedly. I’ve been missing the love and excitement of having many pets i’m looking to be around pets again and getting to spend time with them! HELLO!! I currently work as needed for my caregiving job. i’m looking for any hours I’m very flexible and can pickup shifts whenever needed !! I prefer to go to the other person’s house because we have 2 dogs and a full house that bringing pets here wouldn’t mesh very well!

“Jillian is dependable, clean, and my skitty kitty was so chill when came home. So glad to know he’s in good hands! Will definitely rebook again- thank you Jillian!”

I come to the clients' home, and I come over beforehand to see everything. I prefer written instructions whenever it is possible for the owner to leave them.

“Asha was only a couple of days out of surgery and McKenzie listened to all my instructions and took such good care of her.”

Rebecca K.

“We could not recommend Nathaniel more highly! He went above and beyond to make sure our cat was comfortable. He sent daily pictures and updates, made sure our kitty got lots of attention while we were gone and the house was spotless when we got back! He even asked about grooming brushes which was not expected. He shows a true love for animals and gentleness with them, and we would recommend him highly to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets. Thank you Nathan!”

About: I grew up with dogs (and cats!) but have been officially dogsitting for eight years. My specialities include: booty scratchies, ear rubs, kissies, and taking long walks. It’s important to start the day with walks (time outside for stimulation) and breakfast! I work in an office during the day, and the evenings are meant for additional walks as needed, dinner, and snuggle/down time. My favorite personal activity is reading, so the snuggles and book time tend to go hand in hand. I offer lots of love through gentle petting and snuggles. I also talk to the fur babies, however, am very aware of tone, as pets often don’t know what you’re saying, but they understand more how you’re saying it.

“She was great and easy to communicate with”

Audrey W.

“Stevie was great! First of all, she was super responsive with messages which was incredibly appreciated with a last minute need. She took great care of my girls and sent lots of updates and photos, even refilling their water bowls without being asked after a long fetch session on a hot day :) I will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I have always grown up with dogs and I cannot imagine my day to day without them. When I graduated college I adopted my first pup Chloe and did the training myself. It was so incredibly rewarding and she is now 6 and we still enjoy camping, exploring and hiking together. A bit over a year ago I rescued Finn and did his training at home as well. Together we are a super active household with two working dogs and a lifestyle geared towards the outdoors. I currently work fully remote and spend most of my time with my dogs outside. I am able to take multiple walks a day and am able to be super flexible with my schedule. My dogs personally are crate trained for when I am out of the house. When I am home they free range the living areas and have multiple beds and toys. They get water 24/7 and dry food twice a day. I am incredibly flexible to incorporate any needs or other requirements while watching another's pet.
