Cat Sitting in O'Neil

“We booked Dean on fairly short notice, because our usual boarding place no longer takes care of cats, and another pet sitter stood us up. And we've been very happy having chosen Dean for the care of our 3 cats while we were on vacation to Europe. This was our first pet sitting experience. Dean was available for a meet-and-greet the next morning after we put in our request. Dean has been very responsive and communicates very clearly and quickly, which is one of main the reasons why we chose him. Dean is also a very pleasant person to be around and to talk to, so we immediately felt good about him taking care of our 3 cats. He came by every day. He brought in our mail, cleaned up after our cats, fed our cats and stayed for quite some time every day to give the cats some attention - he even vacuumed our home. He sent us pictures and a small update every day. We think he's done a great job, and we would definitely hire him again if we need another pet sitter. He's highly recommended.”

“Day is great. Very responsive and engaged with pets. We will use her again”

“Madison was amazing. Very communicative and worked on very short notice. She loved on our puppy & sent cute pictures and updates. Will be using her again.”

“Allie did a great job with our 2 pups. She was able to meet them the day before which helped them be more comfortable around her. She took them outside to potty, spent time playing and running with them to tire them out, and provided us with lots of pets and pictures!! Definitely recommend Allie and would use her services again.”

“Emma did a really great job looking after Florence and Reddington - this turned out to be a longer trip than planned at the last minute (almost 3 weeks) and she extended her visits with no hesitation, spending extra time with them to make sure they were well looked after and had the company needed while we were away so long. Her patience with Florence certainly paid off, I’m glad she finally warmed to her and got her head scrunches 🥰 Thank you Emma!”

“I am not very good about leaving reviews, but Josie B was probably the best caregiver we have ever had. After meeting with her in person, I immediately relaxed and knew our pets would be taken care of....when we left the next day, I was not visualizing all the bad things that could go wrong with our 4 legged babies, like I always do when we leave them. She sent us the report cards and many pictures. She was not nervous at all about giving our newly diagnosed cat the insulin injections she now needs with both meals. When we decided to come home early, she immediately adjusted the schedule and came by to check on them one last time. When we got home, they were not really that happy to see us at first. I think they were hoping she was coming by again. LOL. My dog and cat were well taken care of...We had decided to try and board them this time with a boarding kennel, but they cancelled because they said they needed to have an overnight vet to monitor our cat. I am so glad they did because it led us to Josie. I will NEVER ever use anyone else again.”

“Thank you for great communication through the whole process. You did a wonderful job and gave us a worry free day while traveling on Memorial Day weekend.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life and have two dogs that are 10 and 4 years old. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats. I understand the importance of having someone who not only takes care of your pets but treats them like family. I’m a full time college student home for the summer. I currently walk dogs every day. I also have extensive experience in overnight dog sitting. I enjoy spending time with pets including walking dogs and playing with cats. My first priority is to ensure that they’re well cared for.

About: I hold a BS in Animal Behavior and have more than 15 years of pet care experience that runs the gamut across feline and canine breeds, ages, personalities, and needs. I am committed to making your pet(s) feel safe, secure, and loved, and giving you peace of mind by adjusting to their (and your!) unique routines and preferences. In addition to care experience, I have worked with puppies and adolescent dogs in training groups focused on socialization, obedience and leash-walking manners, as well as one-on-one with cats on basic obedience (yes, really!). Whether you're in need of walking or short-term care, I will treat your beloved companion(s) as my own - I cannot wait to become their new best friend! This is my full-time job! My schedule is flexible, so for the most part I can be available for your animal(s) when and where they need me. Happy to coordinate with your individual needs. I currently offer pet sitting in your home only so that your pet(s) can feel comfortable in their own space, sticking as closely to their regular routine as possible. Let me know what you need so you can have a worry-free experience while you're away - lots of photos, frequent check-ins, facetime, you name it!

About: My dogs and I have been through AKC certified obedience training I'm experienced in walking multiple dogs at a time Can housesit and care for dogs with special needs Providing positive reinforcement and tasty bribes is my main method of gaining trust with a new dog friend. I'm open to meeting and discussing all forms of service ahead of time I have a flexible part time job that is generally from 9 - 4 Monday through Friday. These times are flexible so if you have a question about a particular day feel free to ask My 2 dogs and I walk almost everyday around our neighborhood just to get some adventure and smell some new fire hydrants. My house has a wood 6' privacy fence around the backyard and I have time to them out 5 or 6 times a day for bathroom breaks or to just run around an play. My dogs started being crate trained as a puppy but as they have grown older and more trusty we use them less and less. I use a lot of positive reinforcement and treat training to bond and build rapport. I feel comfortable around dogs of all shapes and sizes and would prefer to take care of new dogs in their home environment first. My dogs: I have a 6 year old 60lb female Portuguese water dog -- She's a big napper, cuddler and loves cats. My 3 year old, 30lb, male terrier mix is the feisty play pal that keeps everyone entertained.

“Linda was outstanding with Ramsey— lots of scratches, played ball and got to run around the yard. Linda sent pictures and Ramsey was very happy.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I currently have an 5 month old puppy of my own. Through both personal experience and daily care, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, and households with multiple dogs. I’m comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, providing exercise and enrichment, reinforcing basic training, administering oral medications, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I also have experience caring for high energy dogs and dogs with separation anxiety, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether I’m providing boarding, drop-in visits, or walks, I treat every dog like family and prioritize their safety, happiness, and routine so both pets and owners can feel at ease. I work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pets with the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I am available all day on Mondays and Wednesdays, after 6 PM on Tuesdays, before 4 PM on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and after 5 PM on Sundays. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for dogs to safely play, run, and get their energy out. I also have a gentle, friendly puppy who enjoys the company of other dogs and can help provide social interaction if your dog is comfortable with that. My puppy is crate trained, and I am fully comfortable following your preferences when it comes to crate training, including crating your dog if that is part of their normal routine or what you prefer. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect your space and maintain your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, and any specific instructions you provide. I also focus on keeping your pet calm and comfortable by giving them attention, companionship, and a familiar routine, especially for pets with anxiety or who are shy. My goal is to create a safe, stress free environment whether your pet is staying with me or I am caring for them in your home.
