Cat Sitting Novelty

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all energy levels, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience with cats and a variety of animals. Over the years, I've cared for everything from iguanas to ferrets and truly enjoy working with animals of all kinds. I currently work part-time, typically during the mornings, which leaves the rest of my day flexible for pet care. This allows me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I have a lifelong love of animals and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During our meet and greet, I'll take the time to learn about your pet's routine, needs, personality, and any special quirks or preferences. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care that helps your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away.

“Out of 10, Timea is easily a 100! Professional, prompt, and obviously cares deeply about the pets she's tasked to care for. After initial outreach she was quick to schedule a meet & greet and took copious notes to ensure she understood the job. She kept me updated with thorough Rover card (notes and pics) after every visit. She went above and beyond after a particularly bad weather storm knocked out power at our home to ensure my older cat, Oshi, was warm and comfortable. Pets love her and pet owners should look no further than Timea as their next pet sitter!”

About: I absolutely adore animals, especially dogs and cats. I began pet sitting when I was around 17 years old. My love grew as I got older and more established in my care. My experience ranges from kittens and puppies to seniors. Despite the age I've worked with, I've worked with many temperaments. Shy, energetic, anxious, you name it! I'll always be sure to provide the right attention to your pet. I will also provide playtime, affection, and keep their water bowls full. Rest assured that your pet will be in the right hands. I am a part-time student and employee. Despite that, I will work around my schedule to deliver your pet the best care they can have. My availability is open Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Morning through night. I can provide morning walks and feedings, mid-day drop ins around lunchtime, and nightly checks as well. I know how stressful it can be putting your pet into the hands of someone else, so I'm always okay with meeting first to put any stressors you may have to rest. I will send consistent messages, photos, and location updates to you regarding your pet and their safety. I understand maintaining cleanliness and building routines, and I will cater to your pet's needs, whether that be a simple drop-in, dog walk, or house sitting.

About: Hi, I'm McKenzie! Since high school, I have been the go to neighborhood cat sitter. I have experience taking care of cats with various temperaments and medical needs. As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful and anxiety inducing leaving your fur babies at home is, especially for an extended period of time. I provide daily check ins for pet parents so they know their babies are safe and sound. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I work a standard 40 hour week, Monday through Friday. For week days, I would come before I start work and come over after I get off. Typically during week days, I spend an hour and a half each trip, including feeding, play time, socializing/grooming time, liter, basic household cleaning, etc. When I leave a home, the only evidence I was there should be a happy and content cat when you return. On weekends, the time I spend with the cat(s) is extended to a couple of hours each visit to ensure they are getting enough enrichment and care. I have experience with caring for indoor and outdoor cats. My main goal when starting at any new home is to build a relationship with the cat(s), especially if they are wary of new people. I don’t push the cat into socialization immediately. If they are hiding away in the beginning, I start with letting them know of my presence, then build trust from there. Every cat has its own personality, so it’s important to me to find what works best for them. When I enter and before I leave a home, I always ensure I have eyes on each cat in the household. I want to know where they are before the door is locked to make sure they are safe and sound.

“Natalia was very diligent, showed up daily, sent very nice photos of my cats. They're normally skittish, but warmed to her nicely. Definite thumbs-up.”

“Candra is very sweet and did a great job for us! We look forward to having her take care of Bailey again. She was on time and is very communicative. Thanks Candra!”

About: Hi! I’m Paige, a lifelong animal lover and current graduate student. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and would absolutely love to have a furry friend of my own someday. For now, though, graduate school doesn’t quite make pet ownership feasible – which is one of the reasons I’m excited to spend time caring for other people’s pets! I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely invested in making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know that leaving your pet with someone else requires a lot of trust, so I take that responsibility seriously. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routines and preferences closely, whether that means walks, playtime, medication, feeding schedules, extra cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also believe good pet care starts with good communication. I’ll make sure you know how your pet is doing while you’re away and will treat your instructions, home, and pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’d love to meet your furry family member and give them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while you’re away! 🐾 As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build pet care into my routine and give each pet the time and attention they need. I’m intentional about keeping my commitments manageable so I can be dependable and present when caring for your pet. I’m happy to coordinate around your pet’s usual routine, whether they need regular walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or companionship. I’ll communicate clearly about my availability ahead of time and make sure your pet’s care is something I can genuinely commit to – not something I’m trying to squeeze in between other obligations. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Before a visit or stay, I make sure I understand your pet’s routine, needs, preferences, and any safety considerations so I can provide consistent care while you’re away. Growing up with dogs and fostering cats from a young age taught me to pay close attention to animals’ behavior and body language and to let them adjust at their own pace. I never assume every pet needs the same approach – some want lots of play and attention, while others need patience, space, and a quieter environment. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and other potential hazards, and I’ll follow your instructions closely. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll also be respectful of your space and leave things as I found them. Most importantly, I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and in good hands.

“Lauren is very friendly and accommodating and took excellent care of our high maintenance pets!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for pets right now. I’ll be starting a job in January, so until then, I’m looking forward to filling my time with pet care and giving animals plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get their energy out, along with a kennel if needed. I also live near trails and creeks, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time. I always prioritize safety, follow each pet’s routine and any instructions from their owner, and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and supervised in a safe environment.

About: I bring a lifetime of experience in caring for animals and live on 10 acres of wooded pastures with 3 horses, dogs, cats, and a house rabbit. My personal pack of four rescue dogs get along well with any new dog I introduce to the family. I have been fostering dogs for a local rescue organization for several years, gaining hands-on experience with many breeds and ages of dogs. I specialize in puppy care and training and have successfully provided basic training and care for numerous foster dogs. I have experience caring for elderly dogs and am skilled in giving medication and insulin. This is an all inclusive experience for dogs! Here your dog will enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor playtime in my private dog park which offers a peaceful setting away from any traffic noise. This is true farm privacy with a ten acre buffer and plenty of natural enrichment including a natural creek, pond, and wooded pastures. Dogs will have opportunities to participate in activities like sniff walks, barn exploring, and pack walks. For puppies I keep them on a schedule for potty training, socializing, and naps. Additionally, I have a dedicated small dog area and small dogs get to enjoy couch time in the evenings! All activities are included for the boarding price. If you desire an exit bath before your dog goes home please let me know. 🐾 I enjoy working on agility training with one of my dogs who is very athletic and to expand my training knowledge, I continue to work with local dog trainers. Beyond my work with animals, I raised two children and dedicated 18 years to volunteering in our local school district, where I passed multiple background checks and supported various programs and events in schools and classrooms. My property is quiet and away from any traffic yet located just a mile from a major highway making it easy to get to for drop off and pick up! I am home everyday and spend most of my time with the animals in my care. I am happy to be flexible on timing for drop off or pick up windows and can pop in for drop in visits to care for pets in your home. In my home pets will be fed twice a day and have plenty off leash time to relax or play with friends. If they are crate trained they will have their own crate to retreat to and dog beds to rest on. My dogs enjoy meeting new friends and provide a comforting pack to show new dogs the ropes. Outside, I always work on name recall with new dogs on leash and when they get to know me they will have supervised off leash time. Additionally, your dog may enjoy a walk to our horse barn and discover a world of sensory enrichment for their nose! In your home I can play with and feed your kitty or your pups and provide any care they need and can feed on the schedule that you request.

About: I have two adorable cats chestnut and walnut. And I have another dog Oreo. They are all friendly and nice. I would love to enjoy the time with your pets. I am not available Monday, Thursday and Friday. But other days I am pretty free. Also feel free to reach to check if I am available or not even at the last minute! I will say my apartment can only stay for one more small pet, since there are two cats already. But I am flexible to chat.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for years, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have 6+ years of hands on experience in dog daycare, boarding, walking, and training, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, ages, and needs from playful puppies and high energy dogs to seniors and pups who need a little extra patience and structure. When your dog is in my care, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I take the time to follow their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, cuddles, and individualized care not just a quick check-in. I’m comfortable with feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, enrichment, and all the little details that help your dog feel at home. I also understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow your instructions and adapt to what works best for your pup. Your home is your dog’s safe place, and when you’re away, I want to keep it feeling just like that. You can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is in experienced, caring hands. I’m currently available for drop-ins and dog walks during the following hours: 🐾 Tuesday–Thursday: 8:00 AM–3:00 PM 🐾 Saturday–Sunday: 6:00 AM–8:00 PM I’m flexible within these time windows and happy to work around your pup’s usual routine whenever possible. Whether your dog needs a midday potty break, a little exercise, mealtime, medication, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m here to help! I know every dog has their own routine and personality, so I’ll make sure your pup gets the care and attention they’re used to. 🐶💕 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, and playtime. I treat every client’s home with the same respect I would want for my own. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety before leaving. I also keep an eye out for anything unusual and will communicate with you if I notice a change in your pet’s behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. With 6+ years of professional dog care experience, including daycare, boarding, and training, I’m comfortable handling a wide variety of personalities and needs. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

“Sophia was just what we needed! We were gone traveling for over three weeks, and our two kitties do not do well in a kennel. Sophia provided overnight care, food, litter box cleaning, and the love our kitties needed, and brought in our mail, etc. She sent pictures along the way of cuddling and playing kittens, and arrived home to happy and well cared for cats and a clean home. Thanks, Sophia, can't wait to have you stay again. <3”
