Cat Sitting Nicholson

“Tara is an absolute lifesaver, and booking her gave us total peace of mind. When last-minute paperwork prevented our cat Sancho from traveling with us, Tara showed incredible flexibility by modifying our booking right away to care for both Sancho and our other cat, Rio. Sancho requires insulin and daily medications, which she administered flawlessly. When an unexpected medical emergency arose, Tara acted swiftly and calmly, taking him directly to his usual vet and adapting everything to keep him safe and stable. Throughout the stay, she kept us completely at ease with constant photo updates and detailed summaries. Tara cares for your cats with the exact same love and vigilance you would yourself. We recommend her wholeheartedly to any pet parent!”

“Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!”

About: I have owned a dog my whole life, I love them very much! I have checked in a litter of puppies, boarded a dog, and much more care. I take care of your dog as my own! I pay attention to details and I notice things out of the ordinary. I do what it takes to keep your dog safe! I currently work full-time. I would be available to check in before or after work. Morning check ins would vary based on location and distance from my job. I will make sure you pet has food, water, and is comfortable. I will make sure your dog has used the restroom if necessary. I will make sure nothing harmful is in reach and take note of anything out of the ordinary. I will make sure to play with your pet if they chose too.

About: Hi! I'm a college student with a lifelong love for animals! In high school, I spent time fostering dogs, which gave me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, backgrounds, and needs. Through fostering and caring for my own pets, I've learned the importance of patience, consistency, and making animals feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet is different, and I love taking the time to get to know their individual personalities and routines. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I'll treat your pets like my own! I'm also happy to provide regular pictures and updates so you can feel confident they're in good hands! I'm currently a student at the University of Cincinnati, which allows me to have a pretty flexible and open schedule! I have most afternoons, evenings, and nights available, and I'm also happy to accommodate overnight stays. My part-time job is very flexible as well, so I'm often able to adjust my work hours if needed to help with your pet's care. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routines, and I'm more than willing to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both you and your furry friends! I have two dogs of my own who use an electric fence when outside and have free rein of the house, so I'm familiar with providing a comfortable environment while still maintaining boundaries and routines. I understand that every pet and owner has different preferences, and I'm more than happy to adjust my care to fit their specific needs! Whether your pet requires a more structured routine with certain rules and restrictions or has more freedom throughout the house, I will always follow your instructions closely. I'm very attentive to each pet's behavior, comfort, and safety, and my goal is to make sure they feel as happy and comfortable as possible while you're away. I also believe communication is important and am always happy to provide updates and pictures for peace of mind!

About: I work from home and will be happy to drop in on your pets before and after my work hours. You'll let me know how much time you will need for the visit and I will be sure to stay with them for the entire visit and perform all the tasks your kitty needs. I will ensure your environment is left as I found it, so as not to disrupt your cats while you are away. I always check to make sure your cats are not stuck in a room or able to access anything that appears hazardous. Whatever special setup you have -- a locked garbage can, separated feedings, specific entries to use/avoid -- I will adhere to for the safety of if your cats.

“Andrea has been a joy to work with in caring for Bob. She is reliable and Bob loves to spend time with her. Very thankful to have met her.”

About: I am … obsessed with animals. I have been taking care of pets my entire childhood and after graduating college, started raising my own! I was a nanny and dogsitter all throughout college and I have a genuine love for all animals, big and small. I am currently working a hybrid job, so my schedule is very flexible. I also live with my husband, who has been a veterinary technician since 2016. We can handle all kinds of medications, special needs, etc plus one of us is almost always home! I consider myself to be very patient and kind when dealing with others’ pets. I know how important it is to me that my fur baby is taken care of when I’m away, so I promise to treat yours just like my own. I love meeting pets of all ages and kinds, and promise to give each and every one the love they deserve!!! Between my husband and I, someone is almost always home! I wot a flexible hybrid schedule. My husband is currently in school so he’s away for a couple hours for classes a few days per week and then comes right back home. But we’re always willing and able to accommodate things outside of our schedule, just ask! If providing care in my home, I have one older dog named Teddy. We also have a dog park at my apartment complex and lots of places to walk nearby. If providing care at your home, let me know your preferences! I’m happy to walk your baby or just snuggle, whatever you want.

“Hailey is amazing. I highly recommend her. She has looked after my kitten twice and my dog once. It's nice knowing someone I can rely on is looking after my pets. Thanks Hailey!”

About: I have 7 years of experience pet setting throughout Northern Kentucky & Cincinnati, caring for animals with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ve cared for pets belonging to professional athletes, as well as senior pets who need a little extra attention and patience. I’m comfortable giving medications, managing multiple pets, following specific routines, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I make sure to keep owners updated with pictures and messages throughout their time away, so they always know how their pets are doing and can see they’re happy and comfortable. I truly treat every pet like my own and always make their care my top priority. I work during the day, but I have a flexible schedule outside of work and am happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s needs. I’m available for pet sitting on weekends when I’m not already booked, and I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s routine and find what works best for you. I’ll do my best to make the process easy and convenient while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care! I’m comfortable caring for pets in their home and I will always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. From fun-filled walks and playtime to administering medications and providing attentive senior care, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique needs. I’m also skilled in basic training and maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. My passion for keeping dogs happy and healthy ensures they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. Daily Routine:     1.    Morning Care:     •    Start the day with a morning potty break for Tootsie, followed by her breakfast. Puppies often have high energy in the morning, so I set aside 15-20 minutes for a walk or playtime to help her burn off energy.     •    This ensures she’s settled while I begin my workday.     2.    Midday Break:     •    Working from home allows me to schedule a midday potty break and a short walk. This keeps Tootsie active and gives me a mental break from work.     3.    Afternoon Engagement:     •    I incorporate short play sessions between tasks to provide Toots with mental stimulation, whether it’s a game of fetch, tug, or a puzzle toy.     •    These breaks are timed to coincide with natural pauses in my workflow, helping me stay refreshed and productive.     4.    Evening Care:     •    I dedicate time for a longer walk or play session to meet her exercise needs.     •    Dinner and another potty break follow, ensuring she’s relaxed for the evening.     5.    Winding Down:     •    We end the day with cuddle time and one last potty break before bed, maintaining her routine and comfort. Weekly Routine:     •    Training Sessions: I include short, 5-10 minute training sessions daily to reinforce good behaviors and teach new commands.     •    Socialization: On weekends, I take my dog to a park or pet-friendly area to expose her to new environments, people, and other dogs.     •    Grooming and Maintenance: Weekly brushing keeps her long coat healthy, and I check her nails and ears regularly to prevent any issues.     •    House Cleaning: I allocate time to clean her bedding, toys, and the areas where she spends time to maintain hygiene. Working from home makes it easier to integrate these tasks naturally into my day. It ensures Tootsie’s needs are met while allowing me to balance work responsibilities effectively. When caring for pets in either my own home or a client's home, I prioritize safety by ensuring a secure environment, following their specific care instructions diligently, closely monitoring their behavior, and always keeping their well-being at the forefront, including providing proper food, water, exercise, and access to designated bathroom areas, while fostering a trusting relationship through consistent routines and gentle interactions. Key aspects of pet care, depending on the service offered: Basic Needs: Feeding: Providing the correct amount of their prescribed food at scheduled times, ensuring fresh water is always available. Waste Management: Regularly cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs outside for bathroom breaks, and proper disposal of waste. Exercise: Engaging in appropriate physical activity based on the pet's breed and needs, such as walks, playtime, or interactive toys. Safety Measures: Secure Environment: Checking for potential hazards like open doors, toxic substances, and securing areas that could be dangerous for the pet. Leash Supervision: Always using a leash when walking dogs outdoors in public areas. Medication Administration: Following strict instructions for administering any prescribed medications. Trust Building: Positive Reinforcement: Using positive training techniques and rewards to build a positive relationship. Gentle Handling: Respecting the pet's boundaries and comfort level, avoiding forceful actions. Communication: Maintaining open communication with the client regarding any concerns or changes in the pet's behavior.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and after recently saying goodbye to my own, I’m excited to share my love with yours. I also have a cat of my own, which has given me an even deeper understanding of different pet personalities and care needs. I provide compassionate, reliable care for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies needing playtime and patience to senior pets requiring extra gentleness and understanding, as well as cats who may need a calm and respectful approach. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and treating each one like family. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7–3, but I’m still available to provide reliable, loving care for pets before or after work and on weekends when needed. I’m always happy to be flexible, just ask! 🤗 I live in an apartment, so dogs will have to go on leash walks for exercise and bathroom breaks. I also have a cat, so any dogs in my care must be comfortable and able to get along with cats. I can crate them if needed, or they’re welcome on all furniture ❤️. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment, making sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and happy while in my care.
