Cat Sitting in Ridgeway

About: I have years of personal experience with numerous breeds of dogs that I have owned. Your fur family member will be in great hands! I also have sat many breeds large and same and have many references. My home is a nice quiet place for senior dogs and dogs with anxiety. I don't have any of my own personal pets and there aren't any small children. I only dog sit for one family at a time so your pet can get his or her own individual care. I also allow pets on furniture and in my bed at night. Each pet gets walked daily along with alot of play time to get rid of all the pent up energy. Lots of love and cuddles also!

“Autumn did a great job with my pups. My dogs loved her and everything was well taken care of. Will definitely use her in the future.”

“Renae was wonderful with both of my cats, but mostly with me. My cats are my babies, and I needed someone very last minute to help with care during a business trip and she stepped in and gave me the reassurance I needed that they'd be taken care of with the love that I give them. They were! It's not just about the animals — she handled me very well. LOL.”

About: I am an avid runner who will walk or run with your dog at your request. I take great care to ensure your pet's safety by using GPS tagged collars whenever on a walk/run, sending SMS summaries after each visit (with pictures and/or short videos, if desired). I am a Pet CPR First Aid Certified. I am also willing to give medications for your pets as requested. For extended engagements I also offer mail and trash service. Currently pet care is my full-time passion and I am fully committed to working with my clients before accepting an engagement to ensure that I will meet the needs of the pet(s) and owner. The safety and health of your pet is my #1 focus. When on a walk or run, I will not venture too far from your home so that, in the unlikely event something unexpected were to happen, I will be close to my vehicle if emergency care is needed. While in your home, if I observed anything disturbed that could possibly jeopardize the health or safety of your pet I will immediately contact you to discuss the matter. If you are not available, I will use my best judgement to protect your pet(s) and home until such time we can connect.

“Alise is AMAZING!! She took great care of our kitties and went above and beyond! Our cats also trusted her pretty instantly which really meant a lot to us. 10/10 would recommend :)”

“Natasha was wonderful! She was very thorough and communicative, and we never had to worry about our cats while we were away because she was so on top of everything. She spent plenty of time with them on each visit, and also kept us updated with lots of photos. Our cats are senior citizens and need medications, so they're not the easiest to take care of, but Natasha handled everything incredibly well. We would happily have her watch our cats again.”

“Matthew did a fantastic job taking care of our three cats. Great communication, updates, and availability. Will definitely be booking Matthew again!”

About: I’ve dedicated my life to the care and protection of animals of all kinds. I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and understand their behavior, communication, and emotional needs. Professionally, I spent 15 years as a horse trainer, working closely with animals to build trust, safety, and clear communication. This experience taught me how to read body language, respond calmly, and create environments where animals feel secure. For the past 8 years I was the Assistant Manager at SASHA Farm Animal Sanctuary, where I helped care for rescued animals with a wide range of physical and emotional needs. As a Cruelty and Rescue Officer with the Humane Society of Huron Valley, I worked directly with animals coming from neglect and crisis situations. This role strengthened my ability to handle animals safely, compassionately, and with patience. In addition, I worked as a zookeeper at Binder Park Zoo and am a wildlife rehabilitator, caring for injured and orphaned wild animals. Animals are not just something I do—they are at the center of my life. I have been vegan for 10 years because of my commitment to their wellbeing and dignity. My home is a calm, grounded environment with a fully fenced backyard, and I do not have any other animals presently. This allows me to provide focused, individualized care and a peaceful space where your dog or cat can feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I know how much trust it takes to leave your animal with someone else. I will care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work part time from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, exercise, outdoor time in my fenced yard, and companionship without long absences. Caring for animals is already a central part of my life, so your dog would be included in a calm, consistent daily rhythm with plenty of supervision, engagement, and rest. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to your pet’s specific needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable experience based on each pet’s personality and needs. In my home, dogs have a peaceful environment and access to my fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time. Because I work part time from home and don’t have other animals right now, I’m able to give them consistent attention, companionship, and a relaxed setting. For cats, I have a private bedroom available for those who may feel uneasy at first or need their own space. The room includes a cat tower, cozy cubbies, and a full bed with soft blankets arranged into comfortable nesting spots. This gives them a quiet place to decompress and adjust at their own pace, while still receiving attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal feeding, exercise, and care routine so things feel familiar and low-stress. I’m respectful of both the pet and the home, and I’m attentive to details like energy level, mood, and overall wellbeing. I also provide regular updates so you know your pet is comfortable and doing well.

About: Rated 5⭐️ on Wag! with 100+ Reviews 🥰 I have always had lots of pets in my life since I was young growing up on the countryside: 🐶, 🐱, 🐎, 🦆, 🐹 - you name it, I’ve had/cared for them 🫶🏼 I currently have a 10-year-old Australian Shepard/Labrador mix as well as a 6-year-old Blue Russian cat who loves dogs and even playing fetch. I love being around dogs and cats especially - teaching them new games and tricks to play is my favorite thing to do in my down-time! My dog (Oakley) and I are frequent runners so if your pup loves to run too, we’d love for a new friend(s) to join us. Aside from running and playing, I also spend a lot of time at dog parks for social time, and walks around town are a non-negotiable for us daily. I have a lot of experience with puppies and breeds that require more attention if that’s a need. I have several clients who I train 1:1 for walking, redirection, and behavioral triggers or sensitive breeds (German Shepards, Blue Lacey, Husky, Wolf to name a few). Thanks for the opportunity to care for your fur babies!🫶🏼 Currently I am home-full time as I run my own business remotely. I am an animal lover and have spent a great deal of time with animals including pet walking and sitter services (5⭐️ on Wag! With over 100 reviews I can happily share those). I have an Australian Shepard/Lab mix of my own as well as a gorgeous Blue Russian cat. I plan to be as loving and there for your pets just as I am for my own! **Boarding unavailable at this time** If boarding is needed I have a pet welcome home with multiple rooms and space for a pets to play and/or lounge in together or completely separately if they like. I allow pets on my furniture and also have extra crates if needed during a stay though I don’t typically crate unless requested/needed.

“Jeanne made my shy kitty feel so comfortable with her and in her home! She doesn’t feel comfortable with just anyone so I am glad I chose Jeanne and would 100% book her again”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I grew up on a large animal farm where we had bison for 20 years. I went to college at msu Mankato for animal science. In 2016 I started working at a boarding kennel and ever since I have found my life passion of working with dogs and cats. I have 4 dogs of my own on a hobby farm. I have two springer spaniels, my rescue dog that is a chow pit bull, and recently got a golden retriever puppy. I have also been grooming dogs professionally since 2018. I know how to do anal glands, haircuts, nail trimming and buffing, ear cleaning, meds, baths, basically the whole works! I am currently available pretty much everyday for drop ins, walks, feeding, meds, and to give love to your fur babies! Even last minute I’m available I offer drop in at your house, I can do over nights if needed, I also can pets to appointments if needed. I do have experience with aggressive dogs as well

“Emma took excellent care of our cat! She was punctual, communicative and easy to work with. Our cat seemed happy and well taken care of when we returned!”

About: i’ve taken care of many cats & dogs all my life & grew up training them! they have a special place in my heart! ❤️ Before or after working i’m able to come and care for your animals and make sure they’re taken care of for you to be able to go on about your day without worrying about it! i can easily crate your dog if needed, take outside to go potty, take on walks to get exercise & play with them as well!

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was in college, but my love for animals started much earlier—I grew up in a home filled with both. Over the years, I've provided pet care for neighbors, friends, and family, treating each pet like my own. I enjoy giving animals the attention they deserve, whether that means going for a walk, playing their favorite game, or just curling up for a good cuddle. I truly love spending time with pets and take pride in creating a safe, loving environment for them when their humans are away. I'm currently working part-time and will have plenty of love and affection for your special pet. I'm available to board dogs on the weekends and provide drop-in visits to cats and dogs during weekdays. When boarding your dog in my home, you can rest assured they’ll be welcomed into a safe, loving environment. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and makes a great playmate. Your dog will receive warm affection, plenty of attention, and will never be left feeling lonely. I’ll take them on leashed walks in my yard and around the neighborhood to keep them active and happy. If you prefer your dog to be crated, I’m happy to follow your routine to make them feel secure and at ease. My goal is to make your pup feel right at home!

“Everett was great with Willow. We’ve never had a male sitter before but Willow took to him great.”

About: Growing up, I have always had many pets. I have owned; dogs, cats, chickens, fish, a lizard, guinea pigs and bunnies. As of today, there are more animals than there are humans in my home. I currently have three dogs; Bernese Mountain Dog (male/large breed), English Bulldog (female/medium breed) and a Maltipoo (female/small breed). I also have two cats and over a dozen chickens. Over the years I have cared for a variety of different dog breeds; Bulldogs (English/American), a Rottweiler, a Shihtzu, a Maltipoo, a Bernedoodle and a Bernese Mountain Dog. Sizes ranging from (XS-XL). Each one of them came to my home as a puppy so I've had a lot of experience with puppy care too. I recently completed a puppy training course with my Bernese Mountain Dog and worked at a local dog boarding facility. At the boarding place I was tasked with cleaning, feeding, watering, playing, giving medication(if needed), and consistently rotating groups of dogs outside for play time. I also learned about dog behavior and safety while there and was fortunate to work with many different breeds and sizes of dogs. Aside from working at the boarding facility, I have cared for the pets of family members and friends. From about 2017-2019 I was part of Lenawee County's 4H program where I showed and rode various horses with my 4H group from Morgan Valley Farms. While being a member of 4H, I learned horse behavior, bathing, grooming (hair/hooves), cleaning stable care, feeding etc. I was assigned a horse for the season and was responsible for taking care of daily tasks during show weeks. I truly love working with animals and caring for the needs that they have. I am trustworthy, prompt and will care for your animals like I do my own. I am available everyday of the week during the day. Sundays I won’t be available until around 1pm after Church. I would love to talk about scheduling further in a private conversation. I am comfortable with feeding, playing, brushing, giving solid medication (liquid can be further discussed), etc. I am familiar with bathing, but not too keen on it unless absolutely necessary. I do not offer walking services outside of a fenced in yard for the sake of your dog(s) and my own safety.

“This is my first time using Rover to get a pet care giver. I am very satisfied with the result. I would come back to Julie for future needs of visits.”
