Cat Sitting Newburgh Heights

About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel

Why Life Sucks

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up around cats and have been a dog owner myself for the past 5 years, in addition to regularly caring for friends’ dogs. I work a 9–5 job from home, which means your pet gets plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. I’m also able to take dogs on an extended walk during my lunch break, so they can get some exercise, fresh air, and attention in the middle of the day. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, a cozy companion while you’re away, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and preferences. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for! My weekly routine is pretty consistent, which is great for dogs who love having a predictable schedule! Every workday I start each morning with a trip to the gym, then come home and take the pups on a nice, extended walk through the Metroparks near my house. Once we’re home, I settle into work for a few hours while the dogs get some downtime. I have a fenced-in yard, so I like to let them out regularly throughout the morning to stretch their legs, sniff around, and get some fresh air. Lunchtime means another extended walk! It’s a great way to break up the workday and give everyone a chance to burn off some energy. Afterward, my own dog usually settles in for a well-earned afternoon nap while I finish up work. Once the workday wraps up, we usually head outside for one more walk before settling in for the evening. If everyone’s feeling a little less energetic, we’ll skip the walk and have some backyard fun instead, such as fetch, tug-of-war, or just general goofing around. Basically, your pup can expect plenty of exercise, fresh air, playtime, and company throughout the day, with lots of opportunities to relax and recharge too. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide a comfortable, low-stress home environment where pups can feel like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for fresh air and playtime, along with plenty of opportunities for walks and exercise throughout the day. Since I work from home, I’m also around to keep an eye on things and make sure everyone is doing well. For daycare and boarding, I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, crate time, and any other preferences or house rules you provide. I’ll also make sure dogs have time to relax and nap when they need a break from all the excitement. When introducing dogs to my home, I prioritize compatibility and a gradual introduction so everyone feels comfortable. I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, supervised, and genuinely at home, not like they’re being dropped off somewhere unfamiliar.

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 8 and spent a summer in high school raising my family’s new puppy. My family has had frenchies, a labradoodle, and a corgi/beagle mix I have experience with small dogs such as frenchies and larger dogs as well. I work full time, 8 AM - 5 PM. I also am a mom to an infant. I am available for drop ins, and for walking as needed. Although I do not offer services in my home, due to my cat being afraid of other animals, I will treat your home as my own. I am experienced with house sitting and take pride in making sure you never have to worry about anything while away.

About: I grew up working at a dog kennel and have always owned dogs. Some of my best friends are trained professionals and I've learned a lot from them. I can do walks, playtimes and certain medications. I can do over nights just not at my house for the time being. I only work Saturday and Sunday but am Still available early Sundays and later after 9 as well as late (after 12am) on Saturday. My days are pretty open during normal pet care hours and outside of them. Dogs love me, and I understand dog body language. My dog was over 100 lbs and I can handle him just fine. I love dog play times and don't mind running with them to get energy out. I just love dogs and making money. Message me with any questions or concerns.

“Jules went above and beyond in the care of our two cats. Jules was very responsive, timely, and flexible with her schedule despite the holiday weekend and did an excellent job. We will be using her for all of our future cat sitting needs.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve helped take care of two very special corgis as well as my roommates bunnies. I’m referred to as the buncle (bunny uncle) when they’re left in my care I usually work mornings but that could change depending on the week, leaving my afternoons free. I will work with you, I’m pretty flexible and work something out that fits your fur babies needs ❤️ My cats are indoor. I have an apartment, it’s a duplex, on the top floor. If your cats don’t like other cats? No problem, they won’t interact. I cater to your cats needs so that way they feel safe and happy.

About: I’ve loved and helped watch/take care of dogs since I was little. My family grew up with dogs and I have helped friends/family/neighbors watch and care for their dogs for as long as I can remember. I do work full time, however I am home on weekends as well as early evening to help assist in any way that I can! I have a backyard which is about to be fully fenced in. I live in a very safe neighborhood which is perfect for walks! Also have room in my home for animals to roam/make themselves at home.

About: When it’s time to go outside it’s time. Clean up areas where the pet(s) have pooped @. Please make sure they are trained with handling strangers. Thank you ! Currently, I am currently working part-time after almost a 9 months of unemployment. I have time for pet care services. Just a American putting effort in the American Dream for myself. Since I will take them out to poop, pee & food I’m going to be diligent on that note ! Close & lock doors is a must !

About: I currently have 1 dog, 1 cat, and tons of exotics!I have worked in a pet rescue giving me experience with shy dogs and the most outgoing dogs. I've been trained on safe walking practices and safe dog interactions. I would love to help care for your pets! With the pets I have, I'm always working and learning about the care I can provide them! With my dog and cat, I'm ready to play with them. I also work at a pet store specializing in fish. I'm happy and ready to join your pets live's as long as I can! For dog walking and drop in visits I like to spend time letting the dog sniff me before harnessing or leashing. I want to make sure they are comfortable with me in their space. Once showing a more relaxed body language I'm ready to earn trust and take walks around neighborhoods and take dogs out for their potty breaks.

“Truly a pleasure working with Allison. She went above and beyond for my kitty, and I couldn’t be happier! If I ever need a Rover sitter again I’m going to Allison!”

It will be very rare when your pup is left alone in our house and if it is the case I am comfortable crating or leaving your pup to have the run of the house if that is what you would prefer. I have a neighborhood filled with sidewalks where many, many dogs walk so the sniffing is a must! I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who are very calm to keep your pup company also.
