Cat Sitting Obetz

“While Debra doesn’t openly advertise for cat care, she did a marvelous job looking after both of mine. Being cats, they are weary of strangers. However, they seemed to warm up to her almost immediately. Debra was always on time and always sent pictures to reassure my pets’ wellbeing. She went above and beyond by taking care of my fish tank as well. I truly have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Debra.”

“Sherry was fantastic and proactive! Charlie loved her visits every day, and she kept me informed on him! She did well with his medication and gave him all the love he needed while we were away!”

About: Hi! A few things about myself; I am passionate about 3 things in life, my children, family & friends and ANIMALS! I currently have 7 pets of my own, 3 dogs, GreatPyrenees, Border collie/Great Pyrenees Old English Sheepdog/Border Collie mix, 2 potbelly pigs and 2 cats (Yes, I said 2 potbelly pigs and No, I do not live on a farm but rather I live in one lol). I'm an empty nester , married 29yrs with 3 adult children (hence the farm I live in); I had a 20yr career at the executive level in Real Estate Development and Property Management across OH, IN, PA and KY. Although I loved my career; animals are what make me happy and it's what I've chosen to do with the rest of my life. I truly enjoy spoiling, loving and cuddling your best friend; I promise to give him/her back:) I can honestly tell you I have spent a TON of money over my lifetime on pet boarding, pet/house sitting, dog walking etc., with good, bad and really bad services. I understand the unsettling feeling of if your pets are in good hands, so I provide my services accordingly based on my very own expectations and care! I have done numerous animal transports for rescue centers and foundations. I've cared for everything from a gold fish and/or frog, every rodent you can think of (Even one with only 3 legs lol) all the way up to horses when I was growing up in the FFA and of course cats and dogs. I am diligent, honest, loving, dependable and just trying to fill my free time. I need to make new friends and I prefer the furry kind, they're good listeners!

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, both personally and professionally! I spent nine years working as a veterinary technician, in addition to completing three years of veterinary technician education. That experience gave me extensive knowledge of animal behavior, health, and handling, as well as a genuine appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of every pet. I'm comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including senior pets, anxious or fearful animals, and those with special medical needs. I have experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, and my veterinary background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health that might otherwise go unnoticed. I understand that trusting someone else to care for your pets can be stressful. Whether I'm stopping by to feed your cat, taking your dog for a walk, administering medication, or simply spending some quality time with your furry family member, I'll treat them with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want someone to give my own pets. I believe that every animal deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I take the time to get to know each pet's individual personality, routine, and preferences rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach to their care. You can also expect reliable communication and updates, including photos, so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine! As a pet parent myself, I'm accustomed to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure my own dog gets the attention and care he needs. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for other people's pets. I'm available for both occasional visits and recurring bookings, whether you need someone to walk your dog while you're at work, check in on your cat while you're out of town, or provide extra attention and companionship during the day. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when it comes to pet care, and I make it a priority to arrive on time, follow established routines, and give each pet my full attention during our time together. My goal is to make scheduling pet care as convenient and stress-free as possible for you! I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, where your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I tailor my care to their individual personality, preferences, and any instructions you provide. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, medication administration, playtime, and plenty of affection (for pets who enjoy it!). I also make sure to check on your pet's overall well-being and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior, appetite, or physical condition. For dog walks, I prioritize safety while making sure your dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and opportunity to explore that they need. I'll always follow your instructions regarding leash handling, interactions with other animals, and any physical limitations or behavioral concerns. With nine years of veterinary technician experience, I'm comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. I take the time to build trust, especially with animals who may be nervous around unfamiliar people, and I never force interactions with a pet who needs space. I treat your home with the same respect I give your pets, making sure doors and gates are secured, everything is left tidy, and your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. You'll also receive updates and photos after each visit, so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in good hands!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family fostered and cared for cats, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care and behavior. Professionally, I’ve worked in a dog daycare, pet store, and boarding environment, and have spent the past two years working at an animal shelter. Through these roles, I’ve gained hands on experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and small mammals. I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and have experience working with canines who have behavioral challenges such as stranger danger, reactivity, and resource guarding. I am trained in reading canine body language and adjusting my approach to help pets feel safe and comfortable. Cats are also a particular passion of mine. In addition to caring for social cats, I have experience socializing feral and semi-feral cats and working with shy or nervous kitties who need extra patience and understanding. I am also comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and caring for multi-pet households. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work at an animal shelter Wednesday through Saturday. Because of this, I am primarily available Sundays through Tuesdays for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting services. I may have drop in availability the other days after 7 pm. I do my best to keep my availability up to date and will always communicate clearly about scheduling so you know exactly what to expect. My goal is to keep your pets as comfortable as possible by maintaining their normal routine while you’re away. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, so I tailor my care to each individual animal. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, enrichment activities, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and respectful presence nearby, I am happy to meet them where they are. I prioritize safety, patience, and positive interactions, especially with nervous or shy pets. Communication is extremely important to me. During visits, I provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Miriam took amazing care of my diabetic senior cat, Willow!! With insulin injections on a tight schedule, her care is more involved, and Miriam made sure Willow had everything she needed. She was so communicative and sent lots of updates. Will absolutely book her again in the future!! Thank you so much, Miriam! So grateful!”

“Amanda did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Buck, while we were out of town! This was our first time using a pet sitter, and she made the entire experience so easy. She was wonderful with Buck and gave him exactly the attention and space he needed to feel comfortable. She kept us updated throughout our trip and gave us so much peace of mind knowing Buck was happy and safe at home. It means a lot to find someone we can trust with our boy, and we will absolutely be using Amanda again for future trips. I highly recommend her! ❤️🐾”

About: I took care of my sister's dog for most of last summer and fall. I have developed strong dog-walking skills from this experience as she is quite the timid and confrontational dog. I have learned out to be extremely vigilant when walking a dog and I can read a dog's behavior as well as a human's at this point. My time management skills are par for the course and I have plenty of free time. I have plenty of free time – I have plenty of free time... there.. enough words. I have a fenced yard and beautful quiet neighborhood to walk your dog in. I can also learn the layout of any home and method for taking care of any dog by the standards of any owner within any home.

“Abby was wonderful with my cat over a long weekend! She took amazing care of him and he enjoyed the new yummy food she brought for him. Abby sent photos and long updates which made me feel better about leaving my cat alone (he's needy!) She gave great advice for some challenges we are having with him and I learned a lot from her in just a few days. Next time I need to travel out of town, I will definitely be calling Abby!”
