Cat Sitting Parish

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I started out caring for pets for family and friends at a young age, and officially launched my professional pet-sitting business at age 14. Now, I proudly serve clients all across the county, providing reliable, attentive care to pets of all kinds! I work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, but I am fully available anytime after 3:30 PM, as well as weekends. Depending on your location and distance, I may also be available for early morning visits before 7:00 AM or midday lunch break stops! Because I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking rather than in-home boarding, my pet care approach is all about keeping your pets comfortable in their own familiar environment while respecting your home space. During House Sitting: I treat your home with the utmost respect while ensuring your pets maintain their normal daily routine, feeding schedule, and sleeping arrangements. They get plenty of companionship, playtime, and overnight security so they never feel anxious while you're away. During Drop-In Visits & Walks: I pop in to handle feeding, fresh water, medication administration (if needed), yard time, or litter box cleanups. For dog walks, we focus on safe, engaging routes tailored to your dog's energy level. Communication: No matter which service you book, you will always receive detailed updates and plenty of photos after every visit or walk so you can have complete peace of mind!

“We had a great experience with John. We did a first meet-and-greet at our home so our cat could get to know him, and that made a big difference. During the weekend he stayed at our place, our cat felt comfortable and well cared for. John was very responsive with messages and adapted perfectly to our cat’s routine: she likes to go outside for a couple of minutes to feel the cold and get some fresh air, then come back in for treats. Overall, it was a great decision and we would definitely book with him again.”

“This was our second booking with Heather, and once again she did an excellent job of making friends with the cats she hadn't met before, as well as administering meds to two avoidant charges. It's good to know that when we're away they're in affectionate, diligent, and competent hands.”

“Jennifer took excellent care of our cat Willow! We would happily work with her again and highly recommend her to others in need of a caring pet sitter.”

“We absolutely loved having Kirsten here with our cats. She was professional and caring. Even our shy cat came out to play and get attention. We would definitely recommend Kirsten and have her back again to care for our cats Midge & Poppy.”

During the holidays, we do get busier, so my time will be less available for pet sitting. This does not take away from the care and love I will give your fur baby. Any type of breaks I get, before and after work, I am there for your animals ❤️ Safety is my top priority when it comes to watching your animals. You will never have to worry about your fur babies when I'm around. I'm a very good communicator and will call/text if there is a concern that I have 🐾❤️

“Erica was so wonderful to work with! She made everything so easy and was so kind to our cat. Erica spent extra time with her making sure she had all the pets she needed. Her updates and photos were so sweet. I would definitely use Erica’s services again and would highly recommend her!”

“Nicole was responsive, friendly, and easy to work with. It was our first time leaving the cats longer than a day or two, so we were nervous but Nicole made everything so easy. Thanks again!”

“Meaghan was an amazing dog sitter for my high maintenance, sweet, loving beagle! She followed all my instructions and went above and beyond in taking care of my pup! She sent me updates and photos which made me reassured all was good while I was away! I will definitely be booking her again. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”

“Alyssa is very sweet, responsive, and responsible. She was wonderful with our cat, Margot, and I felt so reassured knowing Alyssa was at the house during the week we were away. She was also very tidy and respectful of our home. I will definitely be using Alyssa in the future and cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I love all animals big and small! I have a variety of experience. I grew up taking care of a Rottweiler and currently have a pit and two cats. I have worked in the past and consistently cared for a deaf and diabetic dog to include administering insulin. I have volunteered at shelters, fostered numerous dogs to include a deaf dog with seizures, interned at a wildlife rehab center for a year, and worked at the Philadelphia Zoo taking care of the goats yard. I worked for 3 years at VIP pet care holding the animals, administering shots , microchips, blood draws and supervising the clinics. I love hiking and anything outdoors so walking your pup would be great for both your pup and myself! 🙂 I’m currently working full time and another part time job so am currently only offering walking services to work around my busy schedule. My schedule varies each week. I have a fenced in yard with one dog and two cats. At this time I am only offering walking services and may consider in home care in the future.

“Excellent communication and care of my very loved cat! Would highly recommend to others and would book again when in need for a pet sitter!”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and genuinely love all animals. I had my first cat at age 4 and grew up with both cats and dogs. I also lived with a rescued pit bull for several years (she had a rough past and didn’t do well around other dogs), so I have some experience with anxious pups on walks. I understand how important it is to build trust and work at a pet’s pace. Whether your pet is social and playful or a bit shy and needs space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the best care possible. Even with a full-time job in finance, I make time for what matters—and for me, that includes animals. I work a standard weekday schedule, but my evenings and weekends are all open for pet care. The flexibility of my job may allow for a late morning - early afternoon check-in. Whether its a walk, evening check-in, or weekend drop-ins, I’m happy to build a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I also spend most of my downtime at home, so if your pets need longer visits, I can give them plenty of attention and company. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medications, walking schedules, or just the way your pet likes their favorite toy tossed. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and needs. If we arrange care in my home, your pet will be treated like one of my own. I have a calm, pet-friendly space and three cat companions who are used to other animals and are gentle and well-socialized. I always do a slow introduction and only bring in pets that I know will be comfortable in that environment. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether I’m in your home or you're trusting your pet with mine.
