Cat Sitting Princeville

About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have two cats and three dogs, but have had other animals in the past. I have taken care of animals in every way including a special needs cat who had diabetes, he needed insulin injections and blood sugar checks. I am a full time student at ISU. I have a very flexible schedule as I have at most two classes on two days of the week, one class two days of the week, and no classes the rest of the time. I have had cats most of my life, and am very accustomed to playing with cats, feeding schedules, litter cleanup, brushing, and nail clipping. I am very patient with a cat’s personality as I have rescued a mama cat and her kittens, and understand it can take some time for a kitty to get comfortable with new people or environment.

“Always amazing! George, our cat, love Carly!”

About: Hi! My name is Rina, and I’ve always had a genuine love for animals. I have hands-on experience caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention and affection. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions, sticking to routines, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their needs, energy levels, and comfort cues. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a calm cuddle session, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around feedings, walks, drop-in visits, and quality time, making sure each pet gets the attention they need. I’m reliable with timing, flexible when plans change, and happy to accommodate specific routines. Whether it’s quick check-ins or longer visits, I make pet care a priority and make sure every visit is calm, consistent, and stress-free. When caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions closely, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I respect each pet’s personality—whether they’re playful, shy, or independent—and adjust my care to meet their needs. Cleanliness, safety, and communication are always priorities, and I make sure owners feel confident and updated while they’re away.

“We can already tell from the first visit that Mark and Miles are a great match! Will definitely be booking him again!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Ariel while she watched Gracie and Lucy for the weekend. She took excellent care of both my girls, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made sure they were happy, comfortable and well cared for. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my pups were in such good hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Ariel to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and trustworthy dog sitter.”

“Luna was happy and excited when I arrived home. Arionna had played with her, took her on a potty break, and gave her a treat. She ran right to Arionna, when she arrived. Luna seemed very comfortable around her. I will definitely book with her again.”

About: I am a veterinary student with 8 years of animal experience! I am trained to look for signs of discomfort or pain in pets! I am also trained to administer medications both orally and through injections if your pet requires any of those types of treatment! I am currently working part time and have very flexible hours! I am willing to work around schedules and will openly communicate about the needs of your pet! I currently do not have a dog at my house as my sweet older baby has recently passed, however I have a fenced in backyard and a quiet neighborhood that is good for walks and exercise outside!

“Theodore is the best pet sitter. We have cats with some ridiculous idiosyncrasies and he just goes with the flow. The cats are always well taken care of, energetic, and happy when we return home. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, my name is Taylor, I am 29 years old and I have been a dog owner for probably over 15 years and I am one of the biggest animal lovers there is! I spent 3 years working at a well know AAHA accredited veterinary clinic. I would love to help others have a chance for good animal care. A little bit about my own pets. I adopted Charlie, my border collie mix, and Willie, my domestic shorthair red mackerel tabby about 4 years ago and recently added Lupa, my border collie to the mix. My preferences: I do prefer dogs, but I know how to care for cats as well! Personally I would probably rather spend all my spare time with any and all animals! Pet sitting is my full-time gig along with a few other odds and ends, so for the most part I am available to stay with your pet all day. My schedule is flexible and my partner is home with my pets while I hang out with yours(: I am always caution about walking others dogs, I follow any and all guidance provided as well as my own judgment based on directions. I have previously worked in a veterinary clinic, so I can read situations that many have never encountered before.

“Kristine was so great with my cat Sushi! She helped him with his electronic water bowl that fell over and was very sweet to him. Thank you so much and will ask again in the future! :)”

“Lerin went above and beyond when coming to visit after a mixup with timing. The dogs where well cared for and happy for the visits.”

“Nichole took such good care of Jack, my 70 pounds of energy Australian Shepherd! I feel very safe about having her come into my house. I will confidently recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and always treated other peoples pets as if they were mine. I’ve always felt guilty if I didn’t have time to give as much time and attention to a pet as I should. I’m available quite often. I am most available all day Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday. But still available sometimes on other days. I take some online courses and help my dad at his workshop so my schedule is relatively flexible. I live in a Townhouse so I don’t have a yard. But my cat loves it when I open the window with the screen so he can look outside. My neighborhood is pet friendly for dog walks. And I have a water fountain designed for pets.

About: I have had a dog since birth. I have both big and little dogs, and I'm not intimidated by much. Each dog shows love differently. I am a full time sitter now. My long term care slots are filled up now! I have my daily daycare routine worked out pretty well, so I can do walks and/or pop-ins if necessary! We have a fenced in back yard, toys, love, and attention. Each animal deserves respect, dedication, and love to help make them feel safe always.

“Did a great job Would use her again”

“Sierra did an amazing job watching our pup over the weekend! She dropped in multiple times a day and took him on walks (even in the rain). We really appreciate the extra care and love she gave him as well as all the photo updates from each visit. We highly recommend her service for anyone looking for a responsible caretaker while away!”

About: I’ve been around pets all my life, i’m a hard worker but taking care of animals has always been my passion. I have experience with all types of pets, dogs and cats especially. I have a puppy who I trained by myself. I am physically capable of going on long walks and play time with animals. I’m currently a college student, all of my school is online. My schedule is very flexible, i’m open to working around your schedule to fit your needs. I’m available Monday-Saturday all day and Sundays after 2pm. I’m fine with cleaning up pet messes and completely able to go on walks or to the dog park. I’ve had experience giving medication to my pets when they needed it. I’m usually the one friends and family go to when they have questions about their animals including training questions. In the past I have taken in ferrel cats and dogs and found them all good homes.

“Jessica was great! We just moved to Chicago and were going out of town two days later. She made arrangements to FaceTime me during her visit with my fur baby since we didn’t get the chance to meet before. I felt so much better knowing that my kitty was checked on. Plus, she sent a bunch of pictures!”
