Cat Sitting in New Salem

“This is our fifth time having Elsie visit and care for our three cats. Not only does she manage the medications and supplements (of which there are quite a few), they love her and she plays with them, cleans their cat boxes until they're spotless twice a day. We trust her with our home and our fur babies who I may be too obsessed with. You can trust her care and her in your home. We only use Elsie now and we know that our cats are so well cared for while we are out of town, and that is such a great feeling. We cannot say enough great things about Elsie and we are so lucky to have found her. She's the one you want watching over your fur babies.”

“Meghan was one of the best Rover’s we’ve ever had. She took the time to let each kitty get used to her. Even the most skittish of the bunch came out to play. We will absolutely be using Meghan the next time.”

“Kristen did a fantastic job. She communicated well and took great care of my pup. Easy to work with and definitely will again in the future. I was cautious and hesitant to find someone to come into my home and take care of my dog. Now I have no regrets hiring Kristen and no hesitation using her again in the future.”

“Anna is great with our cats and is super responsive and reliable! Very thankful for her quick response on this most recent drop in to help us out.”

“Alison was great with our 2 cats and 1 dog! From the meet and greet she was able to connect with even the sassy cat. Alison took great care of the animals and was even able to medicate one as requested. We would recommend Alison to anyone and hire her again. Thank you Alison!”

About: I have been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and even reptiles. Over the past five years, my family has had a full house of pets, including one dog, two cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and a chameleon, so I’m very comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. In 2021, I completed training to have my golden retriever certified as a therapy dog. After becoming licensed, she worked alongside me in public schools, where she provided comfort and support to students. That experience strengthened my skills in handling, training, and understanding animals while ensuring they feel safe, calm, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to give animals plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets are comfortable and well cared for. Since I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy a calm, consistent environment. Caring for animals is already part of my daily life with our own pets, so adding additional pet care feels like a natural extension of our routine. My home is very pet-friendly and used to having animals around. I have a family of five with three kids ages 11–16 who all love animals and are respectful of their personalities and space. Since I already have pets in our home, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing regular feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making them feel safe and comfortable, just like part of the family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions the owner provides. My goal is always to make sure pets feel relaxed, well cared for, and loved while their owners are away.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life Responsible driver No other work commitments, so I have a flexible schedule Homeowner so can watch at my place or yours No other work commitments I do have 2 children but they’ll be at school during the day I’m a responsible driver Non smoker Non allergic I have a very friendly 2 year old neutered golden retriever and a 2 year old spayed cat. I have farm animal but they can be fenced away. Non smoking. Area for “safe space” for pet. I’m a responsible driver with flexible schedule

About: I started pet and house sitting in 2015 and have loved caring for furry, feathered, and even scale-y friends ever since. As a farm kid through and through, I'm comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes and have experience caring for nearly every type of pet you can imagine. I don't shy away from big animals (or big messes!) I recently completed my graduate degree and became a nationally certified Physician Assistant. While my training is in human medicine, I have experience caring for pets with complex medical needs, including administering injections, medications, and subcutaneous fluids. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and attentive caring for your pets, especially when they require extra support. At home, I share my life with two cats, Winston and Franklin, one of whom is an FIP survivor. That experience has given me a firsthand appreciation for the trust pet owners place in their caregivers and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pets are in capable hands. If you're looking for a responsible, dependable professional to keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you're away, I'd be honored to help. Having recently completed graduate school, I currently have a very flexible schedule and can devote substantial time to caring for your pets. This allows me to provide attentive, personalized care and maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. While I am currently unable to board pets, I am happy to provide care in the environment where your pet is most comfortable- their own home! I strive to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of companionship. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I understand the trust involved in leaving both your pets and your home in someone else's hands. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, so you can travel with peace of mind.

“Hannah was absolutely great! Our cats dont typically go up to strangers, but they felt comfortable with her right away and came to her dueing our meet & greet. She made sure that she stopped by within the window of time needed for my dog's bathroom schedule. She took the best pictures of our animals and they seemed to enjoy her visits. She even went out of her way to bring a perishable package in and put it away for me. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”

“Rebecca was fantastic. Great communication from start to finish and even alerted us about ants getting into a new auto feeder for our cats and helped rectify the issue. Food and litter areas were left clean. Great job!!”

Todd S.

“Thank you so much for caring for my fur babies and even willing to step in during a short notice emergency that worked out. I could not ask for better walkers.”

Roxanne D.

“Cameron was great from his first response through his visit. Two minutes into his meet and greet I knew he was the one Alfie and Mitzie would love. Arrived right on time for both the meet and greet and his appointment, sent pictures, and left a note when he left. Now I can look for other places to go knowing my pups will be well cared for!”

About: I do have some training in my pocket but definitely not a professional I’ve trained all of my dogs that I’ve had they did great I am available whenever I am needed on sundays I’ll be at church but after that I’m free I have my own car so I’m reliable I can care for pets in the clients home how ever they need me to I follow instructions very well and will do what I am needed to do or asked to do

“Amanda was great! This was the first time I had left my dog and cat for so long (10 days) and was out of the country as well. She sent updates and pictures multiple times a day, responded quickly and took great care of them both. She even stopped by the house the day we got back to make sure we were home (she had heard flights were cancelled from where we were flying from and wanted to make sure my dog was let out - super conscientious and reliable!) I would definitely book again!”

“Is there a 12 star button because Ashley was absolutely amazing. She went well above and beyond what I ever expected. She was very attentive to details with Keebler and the house. I will be using her again.”

“Jess was amazing with my cat! I could tell by the pictures she sent during her visits, that she liked my cat and my cat liked her (which doesn’t happen often)! Jess kept me informed with her reports and reached out with questions when unusual circumstances arose. I was totally comfortable during my trip, that my cat was well cared for. I will definitely ask Jess again in the future.”

About: I have been taking care of cats since I was 10. I have interacting with all types of cats. I also have worked with all types of dogs both puppies and older. I have experience in giving medicine, clipping nails, grooming and more for both cats and dogs. I’m also a gentle soul who believes each cat and dog should have a safe person to stay with while their owners are out of town. I enjoy the company of animals and care about them very much. I am home 24/7 at the moment and can take anyone at anytime. I will be able to keep a close eye on your furry baby at all times. I have a deck outside for dogs to enjoy the fresh air as well as a park that is 7 mins away that I would to bring them to to get some exercise. As well as I would be taking them outside on leash and making sure they go to the bathroom. I have an extra room where I can separate cats and dogs from my own 2 cats and 2 dogs. If your furry friend loves new friends then they’ll be happy to meet some here as well.

“Laura was a great sitter for Lucky, clearly a very experienced dog sitter & canine owner who can work well with new dogs she’s caring for. Very good with communication & requests made of her, will hire again!”
