Cat Sitting North Branch

About: I have always had a deep love for animals in my l life! I have lived with cats and dogs my entire life—they’ve always been a part of me! Growing up, I always wanted to be a veterinarian so that I could care for animals because that’s how much I love them! I have taken care of dogs and cats on and off over the past 13 years of my life through my best friend’s dog and cat sitting business, as well as owning my own pets. I’ve dealt with all sizes of dogs. I’ve walked the dogs, fed them, played with them, cleaned up after them, etc. I have always loved taking care of fur babies and I guarantee I will instantly fall in love with your pet! I will make sure they are spoiled with love and the best care possible! I work from home Monday, Thursday, and Friday, so I am completely free those entire days! On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I work in the office from 10-3 but am free before and after that! I will spoil your pet with unconditional love and cuddles! I take pride in providing proper care for animals and making sure all of their needs are met. I am a high energy college athlete who absolutely loves animals!

“Lauren did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our beloved cat Mochi while me and my daughters were away on vacation. The daily updates were mandatory daily reading for us while we were away and the pictures assured us that he was well taken care of. Can't say enough good things about Lauren. She made my first time booking this kind of a service a breeze. We would definitely not hesitate is booking her again and hope that she is available when me and my daughters go on our next adventure. Thanks again Lauren for everything!!”

About: Since I was 6 years old my family had dogs and cats as pets. All the dogs we had we got as puppies so I handled the potty training, taught tricks and the main obedience training like sit and stay. I've watched family and friends dogs which also included days/nights at a time like when they were out of town working. I have watched and been with tiny dogs to giant dogs. I'm a stay at home mom at the moment so I have plenty of time to care for your pet pretty much at anytime day or night. I have a fenced yard so easy to let in and out as needed, big area take out or let out to play. My house is pretty open with area for them to roam or find good spot to just relax. I have never crated any of my animals but if needed or wanted obviously I could do that. If you have a special diet for your dog I would follow that for you also. My kids and I also love to go on walks and would love your dog to join. I do have three very young kids so your dog must get along with children. My kids love animals, they were very sad after losing our last dog so they'd be very excited to play with others. I am home daily with my kids, I only leave when I need to go to the store or take kids to an activity. So they won't be left alone for long if at all while in my care. I have a fenced in yard for a safe place to run and play while outside. My house is decent size so plenty of area and all open to them so they feel at home. You can bring whatever you think your animal needs to be comfortable.

“Thank you so very much!!”

I worked for Angel of Hope Animal Shelter for over two years as their marketing specialist (2019-2021), after I left and accepted a different position, I stayed on as a foster parent for awhile before I had to officially resign - I was switched to night-shift at work and was no longer able to continue care at the standard I wanted.

Initial Meet & Greet: I always start with a supervised meet & greet. I’ll work with you to understand your pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs or medical requirements. This also helps the pets feel more comfortable with later drop in visits when their pawrents aren’t home. 2.

About: I’ve grown up with having both cats and dogs of my own my entire life so I know the proper way to care for them. I understand both the needs of animals and how to tend to those specific needs. I love all kinds of animals and spending time with them so much that I would love to go into some type of career where I can be around them and care for them. I’ve always had positive experiences when around animals and have never had any problems being able to connect with them. I would prefer walking smaller dogs but have no problem sitting both large and small dogs/ any size dog. I would also be happy to take care of and watch cats also.

“Haley H. did an absolutely MARVELOUS job, looking after our 3 cats. My husband, and I, have NEVER left them, for such a long period of time. We were going away for a month. I was VERY nervous about leaving them at home with someone, the cats, did not know. They were safe. They were healthy. They were happy. I expected weight loss. I expected negative behaviors. I expected "unhappy" critters. NONE of that occurred. Haley kept us informed, as to how the cats were doing. She asked questions, to help her better, tend to them. WE are VERY SATISFIED, with Haley's care. I think the cats are also.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and shapes! I love animals large and small and I have dog sat for my neighbors since middle school. My dog is 7 years old now and is my heart. My family and friends call me a dog whisperer because all dogs love me!! I work during weekdays and can move my schedule depending on the needs of the dog. I have a pretty flexible schedule other than during weekdays. I follow the instructions of pet parent requests. Closing bathroom doors, crating, and feeding per instructions given to me for the safety of the animal. Any special requests I am more than able to provide.

About: I have been walking dogs for 3 years. The dog I currently walk is a Golden Retriever with a lot of energy! I have also walked other large dogs as well as small dogs. I currently walk a dog every morning Monday through Friday, and 2 small dogs as needed. We enjoy going for walks and to the dog park if requested. We have gone on car rides to different parks for walks as well as walking in the neighborhood. I love the time I get to spend with the dogs. Dog walking is what I do. Every day Monday through Friday I walk a Golden Retriever. After that I am open to taking on more walking or drop in visits. When going to clients homes I am always careful to be sure to lock up the home after our walk. I check to be sure that there is adequate water. I am respectful of others private space and leave things as I find them. I give treats if requested. On hot days we can keep walks shorter if requested. I will also brush your dog if you request this.

“Teren came to me as a recommendation from a friend. She has now watched our dogs once and our cat twice. I love knowing that my fur babies are looked after.”

About: We grew up with pets and we have a pet loving family. We have a German wirehair pointer dog, cat and raise rabbits for showing. We also volunteer at a local goat farm and help take care of goats. I work full time out of the home, Monday-Friday, so your dog will be kenneled while we are at work. Unless it’s summer or holiday then my schedule may be different. I will do morning walks and night walks and playtime outside after and before work. We have an unfenced large yard so your pet will be leashed for playtime. We have a nice larger private backyard so plenty of space for exercise.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my six years of dedicated, hands-on experience caring for animals around the clock. I grew up with two dogs and a cat, caring for them through all stages of life—including senior care and end-of-life comfort. I also have experience working with rescues my family adopted, which taught me patience and adaptability with animals of different backgrounds and temperaments. I’m confident working with puppies, senior pets, and those needing special attention, and I truly love and treat every animal as if they were my own. I currently have an open schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and fully dedicate time to pet care. I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, making sure I’m available for feeding times, walks, play, and any special routines or requests. When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all owner instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise, ensuring fresh water and a clean environment. Whether supervising play, going for walks, or offering companionship, I aim to reduce stress and make pets feel secure and well cared for in any setting.
