Cat Sitting Prairie Home

“Amanda is great! She is incredibly nice and my dog immediately liked her, I feel completely at ease with her caring for him. She is experienced, clearly loves dogs and took excellent care of mine. I will definitely hire Amanda again.”

“Shannon was AWESOME!!! Not only was she very personable and a joy to meet she was wonderful with our two dog. Our mini Aussie who can be unsure of new people warmed up immediately and sat right in her lap and gave her kisses. She went above and beyond when she came to check in on our dogs while we were away and sent us texts and pictures letting us know they were doing great. We are so excited to have a dog sitter who we trust with our dogs and in our home. Would highly recommend!!!!”

About: I maybe don’t have as much experience as others. But I am very receptive to the care needed for your furry friends! Detailed instructions are my friend. I will make sure to take care of your babies! I work about 30 hours a week at my office job for the summer. Mon-thurs 10am-5pm, Fri 8am-12pm. So I am available before or after work most days and weekends! Occasional prior commitments. I will make sure to provide the best care I can for your pets. If I am stopping by, I would check on them, feed if needed, take for a walk, etc. Whatever is personalized to your pets needs.

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals—raising multiple dog and cat breeds, being the trusted friend who watches everyone’s pets, and even working as a pre-vet student and zookeeper for tigers and wolves. I now have my own husky and two cats, and I’m confident, calm, and experienced with pets of all personalities, needs, and energy levels. Because I work remotely full-time, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I can easily rotate between work and pet care, fitting in walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins whenever needed. My availability stays steady, so your pet gets reliable company, structure, and care from morning to evening. I Will be able to work with you on the comfort and needs of your pets based on mutual available resources and your pets training.

About: Hello! I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have always been the person eager to help care for them. I’ve raised and trained a dog of my own and have looked after many others since my teens. I’ve also had two cats, so I’m no stranger to feline personalities, whether they’re cuddly, independent, or a little dramatic. Over the years, I’ve also cared for a variety of reptiles and amphibians, so I’m comfortable with pets of all shapes, sizes, and species. Animals have always come naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know their unique quirks and routines. Whether your pet loves playtime, prefers quiet company, or just wants someone reliable to keep them safe and comfortable, I’ll make sure they receive the same care, patience, and attention I’d give my own pets. 🐾 For the summer, I am very flexible and I am completely free for most days. I prefer working weekdays in the mid morning or afternoon/evening but weekends and earlier times are no problem, don’t be afraid to ask! Starting Aug 6., I will be working 8am-3pm Monday-Friday. Still will be available any other times or days! I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I will keep a close eye on them whenever they are outside. I will always respect the surroundings of my client’s home and make sure to follow any instructions you provide. I am also happy to adapt to each pet’s individual needs so they feel comfortable and well cared for.

“Ashley is lovely! She is punctual, respectful, friendly, & absolutely loves our pup! She has done everything we’ve asked of her and is very helpful. Highly recommend her 😊”

About: Every animal deserves love, no matter their history, age, size, or special needs. I'm here to provide the care and attention your pet needs, ensuring they feel safe and loved every step of the way. From playful little babies to senior pets, I’ve got them covered! If you decide to choose me, you also decided to give you companion a new friend. I am available in the mornings from 6am to 12pm Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I’m off on Sundays and Mondays so I’m available from 6am to 11pm In my home or yours, I ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I tailor my care to their individual needs, from playtime and exercise to feeding and cuddles. Whether it's walking, feeding, administering medication, or keeping their environment clean, I treat every pet like my own and maintain open communication with owners to ensure peace of mind.

About: Animals have been the heartbeat of my home for as long as I can remember. With over 15 years of personal experience raising both dogs and cats, and 5+ years of professional pet sitting, I’ve navigated everything from puppy energy to senior care. I pride myself on being an 'animal magnet'—I’ve truly never met a pet I couldn't bond with! When your furry family member is with me, they aren't just being watched; they are being loved, played with, and treated with the same dedicated care I give my own. Because I’m a stay-at-home mom, your pet becomes a natural part of my daily rhythm! My schedule offers the ultimate flexibility for your furry friends. Once the school drop-off is done, my late mornings and early afternoons are wide open and dedicated to long walks, playtime, and giving your pets the midday attention they crave while you're at work. I also offer a 'Night Owl' service—after my own kids are tucked in, I love headed out for one last evening visit. It’s my favorite time of day to provide those quiet, late-night cuddles and a final potty break, ensuring your pet is relaxed and sleepy before bed. My Approach to Pet Care Whether I am stopping by for a quick check-in or a long afternoon visit, my priority is safety, stimulation, and affection. Here is how I handle each service: 🚶 Dog Walking (Energy & Enrichment) The Route: I customize the walk to your dog's age and energy level—whether they need a brisk mile or a slow "sniff-around" to stimulate their brain. Safety First: I always double-check harnesses/collars and stay hyper-aware of other dogs or distractions in the neighborhood. Refresh: Every walk ends with fresh water and a paw-wipe if it’s a rainy day! 🏠 Drop-In Visits: Short (15 mins) Efficiency & Care: These are perfect for potty breaks and quick feedings. The Checklist: I prioritize the essentials—fresh water, food, and litter box scooping—followed by 10 minutes of focused playtime or cuddles so they don't feel lonely. Updates: You’ll receive a quick photo and a "business" report (potty/eating) before I leave. 🛋️ Drop-In Visits: Long (30+ mins) Company & Comfort: Best for high-energy puppies or "velcro" dogs and cats who crave human presence. Quality Time: We might spend 30 minutes playing fetch in the yard and the other 30 minutes relaxing on the couch. Household Help: Since I’m there longer, I’m happy to bring in the mail or water a few plants to keep your home looking lived-in and secure. 🛡️ Standard Care Procedures Regardless of the service, I follow a strict protocol to ensure your peace of mind: Home Security: I am meticulous about locking doors and setting alarms exactly as instructed. Communication: I send "pupdates" with photos after every visit so you can see your happy pet in real-time. The "Animal Magnet" Touch: I use the first few minutes of every visit to settle the pet’s energy, using a calm voice and gentle approach to ensure they feel safe and excited to see me.

About: Lifelong animal lover who treats every pet like my own! Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your furry best friend’s in good hands. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds and love giving them a safe, happy space because they deserve the best! 💕🐕 I just recently graduated so I have a completely open availability for walks, check ins, or to just keep your pets some company while you’re away! I’m currently available mon-thurs at any time! For Fridays-Sundays I’m available anytime before 4pm, as I usually have work after 5 on weekends, I’m looking forward to filling my free time keeping company to your animals! I always treat pets (and their homes!) with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I make sure doors are locked, routines are followed, and your furry friend stays safe, happy, and comfortable at all times.

About: As someone who works in the pet care industry and has three dogs of my own, caring for animals is a huge part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from high-energy puppies to senior dogs needing extra comfort and attention, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I work full time in the pet care industry, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life! With at least a week’s notice, I’m able to make my schedule flexible to best meet the needs of your pet and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I currently offer care within my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I know how important consistency can be for animals, especially for shy pets, seniors, or pets who may become stressed in new environments. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, personality, and comfort needs to help them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind during visits.

About: Since I can remember, i’ve always done the favor for my neighbors/family members to take care of their pets while they are away on vacation or any last minute sitting. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that be going on walks, giving them cuddles, playing out doors or even giving them a bath ! If you have specific instructions for me to follow, such as set feeding or potty time I will be punctual with those. I am no excited to meet your pet and spend time with them :) I am currently working a part-time job in the afternoon to later evening. I am free anytime in the morning and anytime after 7:30 pm. I am a college student and currently am on summer break, when school picks back up in the fall I will be available anytime on the weekend. I will make sure that your pet is comfortable around me and comfortable with me petting them! In your home I will first speak with owner and figure out pets routine and their favorite spots around the house and which areas are off limits, I will get familiar with the home as well. I don’t plan on having any pets over as I do live in a small apartment but if that be the case at any time, I will speak with owner and make sure I have all the essentials for their pet to have a welcoming and comfortable stay.

“Alyssa was super easy to communicate with, thoughtful, and did a great job stopping in on Sonic! Will definitely use her services again :)”
