Cat Sitting in Newington

“Marcela is such a wonderful sitter, our dog is a very nervous dog and every time Marcela just works her magic with her. While we’re away she sends pictures and notes on how Sadie has done, which I love! We will always use her she just does such a great job.”

About: ***I am independently insured through PetCare for greater peace of mind while you’re away*** I've recently gone through a career switch from caring for humans (I was a registered nurse) to caring for animals last year. However, I have loved and cared for several personal and friend’s pets, to include cats, dogs, guinea pigs, birds, and reptiles, throughout my entire life. I hold a strong passion for advocating and caring for all beings with empathy, patience, and understanding. Since my career switch, I have experienced pets who need extra attention due to daily medications, reactivity, older age, anxiety, and helping to instill training (I am not a certified trainer) the clients are already teaching their pet(s) during my walks and/or pet sits. Dog walking and pet sitting is my full time job now. Whether you need a midday walk or need someone to care for your pets while you escape on vacation, I’m available for either service throughout the week, weekend, and some holidays. While I do not provide care in my home, I do travel to your pets while you’re away. My approach to caring for animals is with a lot of patience and respect. I’m happy to take it slow for each animal that may be a bit timid at first. I have a lot of experience personally and professionally working with animals who are timid, reactive, etc. For new clients, I like to have a meet/greet to go over care instructions before the pet sitting/walking dates. This gives us the opportunity to ask questions and discuss further what you can expect while you’re away. My goal is to provide care the way your pet is used to. I send daily updates/pictures/video to give you the reassurance that your pet is being loved on just the way you would if you were there.

“Thanks again Hieu and Anna for being so attentive to our pup! Prior to the drop-in, our dog had a stressful experience in the morning that put her on edge for the rest of the day--Hieu and Anna were so great about making sure she felt safe and comfortable. We're so glad to keep working with her new fave aunties!”

“Miranda was able to accommodate me last minute before a short out of town trip for a few days and was available for a virtual meeting and she followed instructions I sent her through a Google Docs very well. She was so attentive, loving and patient with both my fur babies Suki and Lilith and I could tell from the Rover card pictures that my kitties felt so comfortable with her! She went above and beyond to give them treats and playtime and she was overall amazing. She was very communicative and flexible. I would book with her again and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to drop in on their cats while they’re away! Thank you tons, Miranda 🥰🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛”

“Dana is fabulous and my baby SweetPea loved her time with her. The pictures Dana took of her were just amazing and I'm so happy I picked her to take care of my baby. I look forward to Dana taking care of my SweetPea weekly going forward :) I couldn't be happier and feel at ease knowing my baby girl is being so well taken care of by the awesome Dana!!”

About: I’m a full time flight attendant who only works 3 days out of the week. I owned 2 cats and 1 jackson terrier, but they have crossed the rainbow bridge. I love being active, so I do love when they are playful and have tons of energy. No worries when I’m sitting or walking your pet- I am loving and calm and I know what to do in stressful situations. I believe pets are the best companions anyone can have especially when you build a bond with them! This fits right into my schedule as I’m pretty open many hours of the day + I don’t have extreme responsibilities to attend to on a day to day basis. I’ll make sure to follow each direction listed for and make sure I understand each pet before I take on a a sitting job. Please let me know anything I need to know before hand. Communication is important!

“Veronica was great with our dog Ares. She responded quickly to all messages and sent me pictures with each visit. She was very accommodating with my last minute changes I had to make to the drop-in schedule and is very personable.”

About: I have worked with dogs for over 10 years. I have trained dogs and worked for two daycares. I know about medications and common injuries prone to popular breeds. I enjoy walking with and interacting with dogs of all sizes. I have plenty of free time to watch and walk dogs whenever needed. I am available any time during the week/weekend that would be needed. Available for emergency walks or sittings if needed. I know how hard it is to leave your pets behind, so I prioritize clear communication and plenty of photo updates. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy, exercised, and showered with affection while you’re away. I provide a structured and safe environment for your animals. I understand that every pet has a unique temperament and specific needs, and I pride myself on being a calm, observant caregiver. I am comfortable administering medication, handling leash-reactive dogs, and maintaining strict feeding schedules. When your pet is with me, their safety and well-being are my absolute top priorities.

“Katelyn was great with our pups. When she stopped by she stayed with them for an hour and took a bunch of photos for us. She played with them and made us feel great about being away during the day and having her stop by. We will definitely use her services again in the future if/when we need them!”
