Cat Sitting in Olean

“Josie is a cat whisperer! We’ve had a number of people care for our fur babies and only Josie has been able to get both cats out from under the bed to eat and play! And for the first time ever, Sweetie got her insulin shots!!! When we got home I think they were both disappointed that it wasn’t Josie walking through the door!! Thank you, Josie for taking such good care of Sweetie and Bugs! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Lucas stayed with our cats over Thanksgiving and was really kind and kept us up to date on what was happening at home while we were on our trip! The cats were very happy!”

About: I’ve had a deep love for animals since I was a kid, and I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old. My first dog was a beloved member of our family for 12 wonderful years, and since then we have welcomed three more pups into our lives. One of them is my own, Nala, a pitbull mix who is truly my entire world. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including geriatric dogs and those needing regular medication. In addition to dogs, I’ve had rabbits since I was 11. My current bunny, Minnette, will be 14 this August after losing her bonded partner in 2021. I’ve also regularly cat sat for friends and family and am comfortable with feline care. Over the years I’ve rescued many dogs and volunteered at the Animal Protective Association, also known as APA, in St. Louis where I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a particular interest in dog body language and behavior. I love learning how to make animals feel safe, understood, and happy. Whether your pet is playful, shy, elderly, or energetic, I will be attentive to their unique needs and treat them like family. I just graduated college at Mizzou, and am taking a gap year before I begin graduate school next fall! This means I have plenty of time and my schedule is wide open to care for your pets. <3 I have always been an avid animal lover-- not even just dogs, but all sorts of pets! I have had my bunny since she was 1 year old and I was 11, and she is now about to turn 14 next month! I have also had dogs since I was 7 years old! I grew up with my childhood dog, Louie for 12 years. Now, I have my own dog, Nala. I have had her for about 3 years now, and I consider myself to be a helicopter parent (ask anyone haha)! With that being said, I am ALWAYS paying attention to details, instructions, and am very vigilant about making sure your pet is getting everything they need. As I do with my own pets, I will give that same attention and dedication to yours!

“Jennifer was great! My cat had some issues with anxiety and going outside the litter box and she was very communicative about what was happening, going above and beyond expectations to help. I came home early and we were able to catch the UTI before it developed.”

About: I have taken care of pets all my life! I grew up with multiple dogs in the house (and some cats) and have always been obsessed with animals! I’ve even fostered the last couple years and gotten to know a plethora of breeds and temperaments! I currently work part-time and would have plenty of time to prioritize your pet! I would include them in everything I do and always inform you of our every move. I have a back yard and a car if transportation of your pet is needed. I have multiple rooms where your furry friend can choose to be on a couch with company or in his crate by himself.

“Megan kept our cat, Stephen, happy and well fed. She dropped in every day to check on him and give him attention. Everything was in great shape when we returned and Stephen was not distressed that we were out of town for several days. I would definitely hire Megan if we are away from home again.”

About: I have been and always will be a very caring and loving person to animals. I currently have 3 dogs, 1 cat, 3 chickens, and 6 goats at home and care for them everyday. I work around dogs all day so have experience giving medications and loving on them, as well as noticing signs of possible sickness. I am currently working part time as a dog groomer but have a lot of time around work to help care for your pets! I'm also available during the weekend. I currently have 3 dogs at my house that use a fenced in yard and they use kennels as well. When I take them out, I use a good leash and make sure to have a tight grip.

About: Lifelong animal fan and pet owner! As the daughter of a veterinarian I grew up caring for pets of all kinds, including providing medical care and administering medications. I currently work remotely from home with a flexible schedule to accommodate drop ins and walks! My own small pup Griffin will remain at home while I visit. Safe, reliable, and dependable. Will happily care for your pet in your home and follow instructions set out to make them most comfortable and accommodated!

About: I grew up on a farm so I've always been around animals! That ranging from, cows, horses, goats, many dogs, cats, bird and guinea pigs! I love all animals and treat them like my own. I currently work a full-time job. I will be able to provide enough time for your animals and give them the love and attention they require. I live on a 20 acre farm that has plenty of room to run and play! I also have two dogs myself that love all the attention I'm able to give them.

“Heather did an awesome job with my cats! They are much happier at home and I'm so grateful to have someone trustworthy to stop by and make sure they're all good. Definitely recommend!”

“Sydney was great! She stopped in to check on them, let them out and even cleaned their muddy feet. I didnt have to worry about them being cared for! Highly recommend 😊”

About: I have had experience with dogs my entire life! From having dogs up until my early 20s to dog sitting and house sitting for any of my family whenever they needed someone! I can bathe, walk, rumble and tumble, play, keep up on whatever you are possibly training them on, and even give medication! I can take care of all dogs shapes and sizes! So let's talk about give your pet the best care they deserve! I currently have open availability but am looking for a full time job! That just means I have more time to dedicate myself to your pet and whatever needs they have! I currently can not board any animals at my place because I'm renting and also do not want to stress my cats out. When I have taken care of other pets/houses I always make sure leashes and harnesses are secure, I always avoid dog parks because you never know what kind of situation might happen between other animals and my top priority is your pets safety, and while on walks if I see another dog I always make sure to give them plenty of space by either crossing the road or stopping and letting the others pass. If your pet is showing any signs of discomfort or possibly got into something they shouldn't have I will notify you immediately and we can determine the best outcome from there!

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I currently have a dog named Rocko who is more like a daughter than a pet to me. I also have 2 adorable cats, one is 22 years old and the other is 5. I have always had passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets throughout my entire life. I have had dogs of all different breeds and sizes from an Australian husky mix to laber doodles. I also believe a healthy pup is an active pup so I would love to take yours out on a walk. Side note: I also offer grooming during house stays for an additional fee! I’m currently available anytime to look after your fury family while you’re away! Or if you just need a reliable animal lover to take your dog on a walk. A walk a day keeps the vet away! When watching your fur baby I will send you updates and pictures of how they’re doing, and fill you in on any activities we did together. I’ll also follow any guidelines left for me by the owner. If they’re staying at my house they will have to be leashed when outside. When inside they are free to explore and play and I can also crate them if needed.

“Kayla did an amazing job with my boys. Very regimented and professional, and included pictures of their walk. Would definitely recommend!”

“Absolutely amazing to help me out last minute with my furry kiddos. They’re older girls and they have accidents and Kenzie was so nice to clean up after them if they weren’t able to hold it. Thank you so much again for you help and for being so kind.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little! I grew up on a farm & then during college I worked for a dog training facility & cared for many dogs there as well! I work weekdays with some exceptions on the weekends. My calendar of availability is updated everyday. Please do not book out longer than a month from the current date without messaging me first. I have a dog of my own! She’s super friendly. But I won’t be bringing her with me on calls unless talked about with you first!

About: I’m already excited to meet you and your pets! I’ve been a massage therapist for over 17yrs, so I give premium pets. Along with that is high standards for care which will includes keeping up to date with CPR/First Aide training. I currently have a grandpa puggle (15yrs old) and young kitty myself. Just like in a massage, snoring, drooling, or farting are all compliments of good care and I look forward to the same with fur clients. I recently moved back to Mid-MO and looking for extra jobs to supplement my massage therapy career. I especially like being busy in the mornings. I have a fenced in yard with one dog and three cats. I love following directions for pet care. Give me all the lists and details! Our own pets have various schedules and diets.
