Cat Sitting in Ossian

About: I have been raised around and have been rescuing animals all my life! To use the word passionate to describe myself would be an understatement. My experience with animals has been nothing short of amazing, from birthing farm animals, to rescuing dogs and cats from terrible situations, I have seen it all, and working in Vet med and animal shelters has been what’s driven me even more to just simply be kind and love all those who are more than deserving of it. I started Rover as a side gig but it’s turned into something much more rewarding for me. Booking with me, I can guarantee your pets will get treated the exact way I treat mine (which may be a little too spoiled) haha! I always make the time for not only my personal pets but yours as well! They would have plenty of daily exercise and Enrichment! ☺️ We would be going on plenty of walks and getting to go on many field trips with my personal dog as well! I always make sure to provide enough enrichment and stimulation throughout the day through various activities!

“Kolby is responsive to requests, follows feeding and visiting instructions to a T, and is developing a rapport with my kitty - thank you, Kolby!”

About: I've been around animals my entire life. I had 2 dogs and a cockatiel growing up that I helped care for. I have personally owned dogs, rats, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I also used to foster small animals for a local rescue and have found fantastic homes for over 50 small animals. I work a few hours a day from home so I have plenty of time to interact and take care of your pets & fur babies. I'm available most days and nights. I am self-employed and work from home so I can take care of your pets needs at any time of the day since my schedule is flexible. I personally have 2 dogs, a rabbit, chickens and ducks at my home so there are plenty of things to help keep your pets occupied and happy. I also used to foster small animals for a rescue I helped out with. My yard is unfenced, but I live on a quiet street and have an open area across from my home to play fetch or throw a frisbee with your dogs and mine. In regards to caring for pets in your own home I follow any directions you give me for food/treat schedules, how often they need to go outside, things your pets can and cannot do, etc.

About: I've been in the pet care industry for around 3 years. I discovered my passion for animals when I got my first dog as an adult, a golden retriever named Molly. I found my calling and I never looked back. Since then I've volunteered with the Hornell Humane Society, taken on pet sitting clients and am currently being mentored by Ash Osborn, the head trainer at the Pawsitive Pups Academy. I'm also a student studying The Social Approach, a course by dog trainers Amy Cook, PHD, and Josefin Linderström of Canine Consilience. I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including dogs with behavioral issues. Being a pet professional is my full time job so I am available around the clock for your every need! I'm available Monday through Sunday unless I state otherwise. I care for the pets in my clients home with the care and patience. I make sure the environment is clean and safe. I believe it's extremely important to pet proof homes and take all the measures necessary to keep pets safe.

About: **More then happy to negotiate prices** I have taken care of dogs, cats, and some barn animals since 2016 (or before that!). I have worked in the veterinary field since 2021; receptionist, boarding team, assistant, and manager. I am certified to do therapy exercises with dogs and similar pets. I have experience with medically complex/special needs pets. One of my current dogs are dog-selective and I have had fear-free training, which makes me comfortable with animals who need behavioral accommodations. I am comfortable medicating pets (oral, topical, and injectable). I do work full time, but when ever I am not at work and I am able to take care of more animals I will! As long as our schedules match I can care for your pet. I do not have the ability to care for pets in my house. But in your home I can follow any rules/schedules to make sure your pet is comfortable, medically taken care of, and happy! I am comfortable using the following tools: crates, harness, gentle leaders, prong collars, training collars, and different procedures required for medication administration.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and pets since I was a young kid. I have also grown up with dogs in the house so I am very experienced with how to care and supervise any pets. My parents dog (that I have spent many years caring for) requires a lot of attention and supervision so I am used to giving pets lots of extra care! All dogs have their own personalities, quirks and characteristics. I have experience caring for all dogs, whether it be size, age or personality. I also am able to happily follow any specific instructions (including feeding, medications, etc..) you give me as I also have experience with different needs. I have a very flexible schedule so I am able to offer very attentive care to your dog. I am a student but most of my courses are currently online, giving me lots of time to spend with your pet(s). When I am caring for pets, whether it be in my home or a clients home, I always try to make the pets feel as comfortable and happy as they can be! I do my absolute best to make sure all the pets needs are met and more. I love to entertain any playfulness or energy that they have!

“Lucinda did an amazing job taking care of our little guy! She was very kind and always gave us updates! Would highly recommend!”

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a child. I have a special place in my heart for dogs and cats. I currently have a 3 year old chihuahua named Bentley! He is my little baby, and i love him so much. He is definitely a spoiled little guy. I love to go for long walks with dogs, I will run with your dog around town , or at a park. I will always make time to play, and relax with your dog. I even give dog baths if needed, just let me know what you would like, and I can accommodate most requests.

About: Grew up with a Labrador retriever from the time I was nine until I turned twenty-one. Have always been a dog lover, I pet sit and help my friends local to me with letting them outside, sitting with them so they don't have to be in a cage all day, and loving them as my own. Pet care is included in my daily routine, feeding my cats twice a day, cleaning their litter boxes, brushing them out, and playing with them is my favorite part of my days. I will treat each animal in my care as my own. They will be happy and loved while you can't be there. Cannot wait to meet them!

“Matty worked out great for our cats. He was very friendly and took care of the things I asked. I went on vacation with a great piece of mind. Would definitely recommend, and hope to use Matty again in the future.”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I can take care of cats or dogs and will love them like they are my own! Animals are my passion in life and I love to spend my free time taking care of them. I work Monday-Thursday but am available after 5:00PM on those days and any time Fridays and Saturdays. I currently have two cats of my own who I love to spend my time with as well. I am experienced in safely harnessing, walking and crating dogs. I also have owned animals my whole life and am aware of their boundaries and the fact that all animals are different.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I provide personalized care for every pet, including puppy training reinforcement, senior pet support, medication administration, exercise, playtime, and consistent communication with owners through updates and photos. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I work full time with dogs and have over four years of hands-on experience. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and providing attentive, reliable care every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. My experience working full time with dogs for over four years has helped me become confident with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments.

About: I have lived and cared for dogs and cats for over 10 years. Presently, I am a proud dad/owner of two agility-trained border collies. I am a caring, enthusiastic and animal-loving young professional (resident physician) who enjoys giving dogs what they need most - physical activity and mental stimulation. My home base is Rochester, NY, although I am a resident physician with the University at Buffalo; so, I am either commuting between Rochester and Buffalo or staying at my second residence in Buffalo (when needed). I am open to caring for pets in the Rochester and Buffalo areas, as well as anywhere in between. My schedule changes approximately every two weeks. Not often are there opportunities for me to consistently help during the daytime on weekdays. I could only be available for drop ins or walks during the daytime on weekdays on a per diem basis. I can be most helpful for someone who works night shifts, as I would be able to help with your best friend either in the morning or evening. With affection, attention, drive to understand one another, playfulness, and mutual respect. Having cared for and trained two border collies (both behaviorally and in agility), I understand most dogs’ needs and am open to even more. I am flexible in my approach to interacting with dogs and trust their owners/parents to let me know what they feel is best. I like to play multiple games for mental and physical stimulation but also following up with downtime to ease transitions.
