Cat Sitting in Prairie Home

“Amanda did a great job entertaining our elderly dog while we were out of town. The pictures we received at every visit were awesome to show our kids when they asked about her.”

“Sara is punctual, thorough, and a great communicator! Thank you!”

“Ella is always so kind and understanding with our very particular, stubborn, and complicated cat. Always ready to pivot if needed. Leaving town is great, but leaving our cat is always worrisome with her medical challenges. However, Ella is always the perfect sitter that makes us feel at ease enough to take off of needed!”

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.

“Marcy has helped us feel very comfortable about having someone come into our room and help with our dog. She is very thorough with pictures and great feedback. We’ve enjoyed her being apart of our puppy’s enrichment!”

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 have grown up around animals my entire life. Personally, I have raised and trained one dog and have taken care of many others since I was a teenager. I have also owned two cats in my life, so I have plenty of experience and patience when it comes to felines. :) I have also owned a variety of reptiles and amphibians throughout the years. Caring for animals has always come very naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I treat every pet with the same attentiveness and respect that I would give my own. 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! 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.

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.

“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 😊”

“Kristin came by for an hour to meet us and the fur babies and learn our routines ahead of a 1-week vacation. It was going to be our first time away from our new pups and Kristin made us comfortable and it seemed like a good fit right away. Since then she's helped us numerous times and it's always been great. Thanks, Kristin!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for animals of all kinds. Although I currently live in a small apartment and can’t have pets of my own right now, pet sitting gives me the chance to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I regularly dog sit for a married couple whenever they travel out of town, and I also cat sit for a woman who lives in an apartment. I have experience feeding, watering, walking, playing with pets, giving medications, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention or a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to provide loving care you can trust. I’m a teacher, which means I have the entire summer off and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule for drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and pet sitting. Once the school year begins again, I’d still love to continue working with returning clients and their pets in the evenings, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I truly enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their owners. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, dependable, and make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any special care requests to keep your pet happy and stress-free. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a calm presence, I’m patient and happy to adapt to their individual personality and needs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old, including feeding, walking, playing, and basic care routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping them comfortable and well cared for. I’m currently in graduate school and have extra flexibility throughout my days, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I love staying active and enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping pets engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks or potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their own space, keep the home tidy, and provide updates and photos to owners.

“Liz was great!! My fur kids just loved her. She even took time to come over before the scheduled date to meet my kids and learn their routine. She was so good with them and sent the best pictures!!”

Carrie B.

“Summer was absolutely amazing! I cannot say better things. Our dog is grumpy and hard to warm up to new people. Summer was so kind and set up a meet and greet. She was so calm and patient with him. Throughout the whole week her communication was amazing. Our trip would not have been as enjoyable without all of her help. Summer is absolutely amazing and I would recommend to anyone! Also, she was very willing to help with house duties. We and our dog, love Summer!”

Molly C.

“Mikaela had stepped in and helped me with letting my two dogs out when I lost my regular person. We had a meet and greet at the dog park before the service began and another one at the house. She is very responsible and reliable, plus the pups love her.”
