Cat Sitting in Rankin

About: I’ve spent my whole life around cats and dogs, and caring for animals is something that’s always come naturally to me. I’ve helped take care of pets for friends, family, and people in my community, and I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities. I’m a high school student with a flexible schedule after school. I’m reliable, patient, and very attentive — I take my time with every animal I meet and make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I can help with walking, feeding, playtime, litter care, and keeping your pet on their normal routine. I treat every pet like family and always try to make their day a little happier. I’d love to meet your pets and give them the same care and affection I give my own. I’m currently in school so I only have time after 3pm but I love to take my two dogs when they’re not being lazy on walks and to the park for some distracted training. I provide drop-in pet care visits at your home. During each visit, I’ll refresh food and water according to your instructions, take your dog for a walk or give some playtime, and check that your pet appears healthy and comfortable. I’ll secure your home before leaving and can send you updates with photos.

“Mage did a wonderful job checking in on my cats while I was away! She sent daily pictures and made sure to keep me updated with how they were doing.”

“Makinzee was amazing! She boarded my cat for the holiday and sent me frequent updates the whole time. I would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet boarding services!”

About: I’m very passionate about animals and their needs. I have had kitties my whole life and I love those kitties more than anything. Being able to be around and take care of animals is just something that brings me joy. I work full time but have the whole weekend completely to myself and would love to fill the free time that I have with something I enjoy doing I am very respectful about people’s houses and their things. If I’m coming for a visit I want to make sure that I don’t touch anything or create a mess anywhere.

About: I love all animals and believe that, just like us humans, dogs thrive when they get lots of love and exercise. I'd really love to help you achieve this for your doggy, who I would treat like my own child. I have have experience with both house and dog sitting, even for long periods of time (I've done up to 2 weeks). Cleanliness and reliability are also huge priorities for me. Hope to hear from you!

About: I own several animals which include cats, dogs, and a leopard gecko. I love animals, and I am good with feeding on time, bathroom breaks on time, and I love to spend quality time with animals! I am good with puppy and kitten care as well. I am a house cleaner as well, so it tends to mix in with the pet care. I am consistently taking care of myself, my house, and my animals. I walk my dog every day, I feed all of my animals at the same time every day, I keep regular vet appointments, and all of my animals are up to date on their vaccines and spay/neutering.

“Thank you Marci!! Ajani probably hopes I travel again soon!!”

“This is the second time we have had Misty cat sit for us while we’re away for vacation. She has been so amazing and loving to our Kitty. Definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!”

“Madison was excellent. I was a bit nervous as Rascal just began some medications a couple weeks before and we haven't needed pet sitters before, but Madison calmed my nerves and walked me through all the steps she takes as a sitter which was so fantastic. She communicated with us, provided great updates, and Rascal really did well with someone else caring for him. He can be stubborn when eating and she was very patient with him!! Highly recommend.”

About: Things we believe: -Dog birthday parties on the beach are the best birthday parties -Shoe laces are just built-in toys for foster kittens -There's no such thing as a lackluster dog nose. They're all adorable. Always. -Sometimes your cats need a break from their very stressful cat lives and should spend a cold winter morning watching cat TV while curled up in load of towels still warm from the dryer (that you actually wanted to fold, but whatever) -There's always room on your lap for one more furry family member I bring over 20 years of experience caring for other people's pets like they were my own, starting with my early work in a vet office during high school and college. Since then, I’ve cared for a wide range of animals — dogs, cats, birds, Guinea pigs, lizards, and other small companions — and have also fostered extensively for my local animal shelter and I loved every minute of it. My foster work has included animals in hospice; seniors; dogs going through heartworm treatment; those with serious behavior issues; advanced starvation cases; kidney disease; and pets with other complex medical needs, so I am very comfortable following detailed treatment plans, giving medications, and monitoring changes in behavior or health. I understand how important consistency and attention to detail are, especially when your furry family needs extra care. However complex the case, I always look for ways to make your pet happy in addition to healthy, whether that be an extra slow walk with lots of sniffing, an enrichment toy with diet-approved snacks, or just some quiet time on the couch together. Most importantly, I know what I don’t know. Every pet is an individual with their own history and needs, and I never assume my past experience automatically applies to your furry family member. If I ever have a question or concern, I reach out immediately, and in a genuine emergency, I won’t hesitate to contact your veterinarian. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I can work around your and your furry family's established schedule. When staying at your home, I can be with your pet most of the day. This means they get lots of attention and snuggles (if, and only if, they like snuggles!), and I can watch for shifts in their behavior, appetite, or energy levels and let you know right away. I only provide care in your home, which allows your furry family to stay in their normal environment and maintain their regular routine. I’ve found this keeps stress low and helps pets feel safe while you’re away. When I’m staying overnight, I treat your home and your furry family’s routine with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime instructions exactly as given.

About: I love my dog (10years; Hiro) and I will treat yours as my own. From 24/7 all around care and attention: Diet, exercise, interactive play, traveling included, bathing/grooming, and medical care. All injuries are researched and attended too with remedies at home and if required, vet visit. Vet visit only with consent, if required. Contact me as needed, messaging/pictures will be provided. Food, potty needs, bedding/crate is taken care of. Advised: if special needs food/allergy/attention, please bring what your animal needs with them, extra charges will apply (if I have to go to the store, I will have a receipt) Daily. Hiro follows me everywhere. Hiro is my own dog, he’s a golden retriever mix with Great Pyrenees, he’s picky about when he eats his own food. I expect your dog and or cat will be different and have its own personality. As for how your animal fits into my daily will depend on how it goes. Most animals love me, knock on wood. I will keep you posted the whole time. The first time I had Hiro boarded I requested a video. It’s understandable. Your pets are like children. Crate training and potty training provided, if needed. Will need dog paddings. I love my dog and I will love yours as my own, depending on what your dog needs, we can manage and arrange things.

About: I have had animals my entire life. I also have some training in the Veterinary field if there is ever a problem! I have a Shih Tzu named Oscar, and a big fluffy mix named Jaydee Mae. I also have 4 cats, Felix, Joey, Ellie and Ruby! I also have a few years of dog training under my belt, so I can even train your puppies in basic obedience and potty training! I am currently working full time, however if I have a clientele, the goal is to do this work full time, work for myself, and be able to work any day, anywhere! My dogs are let out about 5 times a day on a schedule, or whenever they ask me to go out. My dogs also get fed one cup twice daily. My cats are a bit different. If the food bowl is empty, I will refill it. It's usually just a cup. I also love to take my dogs to the dog park, or I will take them on walks. My Boxer and Shih Tzu own my bed, but Brutus sleeps in his crate most nights. Otherwise, they have total freedom. I will care for your pets in however way you need them taken care of. However, there will be some amount of spoiling! I love to play with other people's dogs and take them on walks. I love bathing, feeding, cuddling, and well, you name it!

About: Hi! My name is Jasmine and I am newly graduated from University of Southern Indiana. I am originally from the West Lafayette area where I grew up around dogs and cats my whole life. I part-time took care of family and friends dogs in high school with house sitting and walking them. Pet care is a part of my everyday routine. I have one pup and two kitties of my own that I take care of and maintain a healthy relationship with. As this is obviously something I enjoy I would love to take care of other furry friends too! I have a spacious apartment where my pup and kitties have the freedom to have zoomies all day everyday. My apartment complex is pet friendly and includes a fenced in dog park! I have reliable transportation and have traveled a plentiful amount of times with my pup and kitties on the road. I am very familiar with the West Lafayette / Lafayette area.
