Cat Sitting in Portsmouth

“Kim does an excellent job. She is reliable and responsible. Her communication is excellent. The cats love her and everything is left in good order.”

“Very helpful due to it being my first time! Friendly and took very good care of my 2 cats and sent lots of updates! Will book again”

About: I will give your pets attention, care and love. I have very little experience but I have 1 cat and a dog I take care of. I wake up and I feed my cat, and I play with her. I then feed my dog and play with him. And then later on I feed them dinner and play time. I will follow routine if there is one, do as I am told, protect your pets at all costs, pets are our world, and I will provide the care that it needs and deserves.

About: Everything short of cutting claws and milking glands. We'll go out a lot together if that's what you’re after or stay in and play “hide the treats in blankets.” Skittish and vivacious canines welcome. I squeeze about thirty hours of my day job into odd slots around caring for my human and high needs dog. While taking two dogs on leashes to Vesuvius is probably a tall order, Central Bark or the Flatwoods dog park are no problem at all. There are so many rugs in this house that I don't care about that if your dog has an accident it is absolutely nothing to me. There is a 1/6 acre of about ten oak and maple trees directly next door for frolicking and my neighbor with her spayed female cat and fixed three year old Shepherd girl to walk over to. If your dog needs a little cooling off, most dogs like cooler conditions, and the five dollar coin op dog wash in Flatwoods

About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember. For the past 6 and a half years, I have gained a wide base of experience working with dogs of all sizes and breeds. In 2019 I worked to train service dogs for those in need. From there, I went on to work at a local shelter where I maintained kennels, walked and played with the dogs, and even worked on training exercises with all of them. I successfully rehabilitated over a dozen dogs with major behavioral issues, including a rotty who went on to become a bomb detection dog! My love for dogs expanded to Vet-Med, where I have worked for over a year. I can perform CPR, properly and efficiently give medications, I can even bathe and do nail trims; but most importantly I can provide a fun and exciting environment for your pup - whether it’s dropping in to take them on an evening walk or keeping them while you enjoy your vacations! My main goal is to be flexible and convenient for YOU! I am between jobs at the moment, so my availability is open. I can board dogs week day or weekend, whichever you need. I can do house visits, drop-ins, and everything in between any day after 9am. If you need something earlier than that, message me and let’s work something out! I have a huge yard out in the country where your dog can get lots of exercise. I even have a long line in case your dog needs help staying close! I have a pup of my own, his name is Mr. Peanut and he’s a sweet, gentle old man. He loves other dogs, but doesn’t play much. He’d rather sit and watch his fellow friends play and he’ll be there to snuggle up with when it’s nap time. I also have 2 cats who are no stranger to dogs. They are a little shy at first, but when they come around they want all the puppy lovins!!

“I don’t trust many people with my dogs, but Katie was amazing with my 9 year old boxer. She was great at updating me with pictures, following detailed instructions, giving medication, and most importantly…giving her lots of love and attention. Would definitely recommend Katie to pet sit or dog walk.”

“Molly has been an absolute lifesaver! She treats my babies like her own and goes above and beyond for me and for them when I'm away! 10/10 recommend her to anyone and everyone!”

“Natty is such an attentive sitter! She exceeded my expectations by playing with the cats, tidying up, and communicating thoroughly. I have no hesitations recommending her!”

“We felt so much more at ease knowing Rhonda was checking in on our newly adopted cat. She did a great job feeding him, sending us pictures, and answering all our many questions.”

About: I was born and raised in the country, my papaw gave me my first dog when I was 5 years old who I named Charlie and told me that I was responsible for taking care of him. That's when I learned the friendship, love, and compassion that pets can behold. He was the 1st of many pets that I had, he lived till I was 17 and will always have a special place in my heart. Throughout my childhood to my teens, I took care of many animals usually dogs but there were cats, ducks, chicken, rabbits, fish, lizards, hamsters, and even befriended a bear cub once thinking it was a dog until my papaw realized and ran it off to prevent momma bear from coming our way. I guess you could say I have always been drawn to animals and I'm so excited for the opportunity to care for your pet, giving you peace of mind that they are receiving quality care. I recently decided to work from home so I could have more time to contribute to things I'm passionate about and one of the things I'm the most passionate about is caring for animals of all varieties. Starting out, I will be available 3 days a week but if there is enough interest generated, I will open my schedule up more. I will follow any and all care instructions given by the pet parent especially if there are any specific care instructions such as administering medications, avoiding allergies, and assisting with physical limitations. I will provide a safe yet fun and happy environment for your pet, making sure they are fed and hydrated while having lots of human interaction. It will be the next best thing to having their pet parent there with them. I can also communicate frequently with messages, pictures, and videos also giving you the peace of mind that you deserve.

“Shes very responsible, very loving, she has a great heart towards people and to pets, shes dependable, honest and very trust worthy, shes my first choice to watch my kids and animals. Shes a great person to be around!”

About: I’ve graduated from an Animal Science & Technology Program & have some experience with anxious dogs and dog aggressive dogs. I have also volunteered at a shelter that had Dogs and Cats. I have watched my neighbors dogs for a couple of years now. They have a dog who has been 12+ the entire time I’ve watched him. He’s now gone mostly deaf so I have small experience with that. Their other dogs is younger and a 100+ pounds. So I have experience with bigger dogs. I have 3 cats of my own and have watched some cats now as well. I also took care of cats at my old dog kennel job. I did have a hound dog when I was younger and a lab mix who was an escapee artist. So I’m very vigilant about closing gates and doors. I am hoping to make this a Part time job. I recently had to drop out of college because of my grades so I’m just trying to make a living doing something I enjoy. I will send daily updates to their owner. I will make sure to stick to the pets daily routines. I will try to walk dogs (and even cats) when the temperature allows.
