Cat Sitting in Ridgeway

About: I have grown up around animals, as I live on a farm and we have always had dogs or cats as pets. I am very flexible as I work part time at a cafe. I am willing to drive and to take your dog to parks, on walks or hikes or runs, and even the beach if they please. I am currently raising a German Shorthaired Pointer of my own and she has become my whole world. I always feel guilty leaving her home alone during the day or when I am busy so I'd love nothing more than being able to help someone else out when they need someone to check in or relieve their dog. I am willing to work on training and obedience if that is something you are interested in.

About: I have always been a pet lover, but my soft spot is definitely for dogs! I have experience at dog daycares and boarding facilities and sanctuaries/rescues. I am CPR certified. I have experience and patience with senior dogs, they deserve all the love too! I am currently looking to becoming a full time pet care specialist, I want to build a clientele here and build relationships with new dogs. A few things factor into this. Most importantly for me is knowing and understanding the pets current routine, following all instructions and any precautions-for pets safety and my own, then updating owner about stay/walk/visit.

About: I have owned animals my whole life. I have also been pet/house sitting for family, friends, and co workers for at least 10 years now! I am currently in school so I have class 4-12 on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I am available for services any other day and time. In my clients home I will provide the best and most playful care for each dogs individual needs. My main focus is to keep them comfortable while their humans are away.

“Amber did a great job taking care of our 2 cats. She was friendly, organized and on-schedule each day. Our guys really appreciate having human interaction each day. She is very experienced with animals from cats and dogs to farm animals. Thanks Amber!”

About: I grew up with dogs & cats. My parents bred Westies and we had a houseful. I’ve always had at least one dog and at least one cat until recently when I lost my most recent cat. Now Sophie, my dog, and I are on our own. We both love dogs and are looking forward to meeting some new friends I work part time for myself, so I’m very flexible and there won’t be a schedule problem. I’m sort of a homebody so I won’t be gone much other than for work I don’t have a fenced yard, at my house but I have 5 acres surrounded by miles of farmland and a playful playmate in Sophie. At your house, I will easily adapt to your pet’s lifestyle.

“Very attentive! She did a great job with our kitty and made an effort to play every day (even when she didn't want to bc she's a cat, of course). She left us pictures every day, which we really liked, too! Will hire again for any future needs we have, and I would recommend her to any family or friend!”

About: As long as I can remember I’ve taken care of pets of my own and others. From dogs and cats to lizards and birds, I’ve learned a lot from years of animals being by my side. That’s why from dog walks to overnight stays, your pets are in safe, loving hands-24/7, 365 days a year. I have plenty of free time to keep any pets enriched and well cared for when you cannot. Life can be busy but I like to spend time making others happy, especially animals! I live with a large family and with my cat, Coco. I feed her 1/2 a cup of dry food in 3 meals as she is an indoor cat and often she will be given wet food as well. I enjoy keeping my friend as happy and healthy as possible since she’s like my own child.

“Colleen was a real blessing, took on my 4 animals in one days notice for 4 days. I had a sitter booked and she was a nightmare night one and Collen just picked up where she left off not knowing me or my pets and I was already away in another state. She was so compassionate and loving toward them and me, lots of great pictures throughout, brought in my mail and garbage can. Sweet as can be!! Thank you Colleen for being there for us!!”

About: I can not remember a time in my life when I did not have dogs or cat. I currently have a senior dog and a new puppy. They have become part of the family, especially now that both my sons have moved out. I have had the same job for 16 years in the medical field. Therefore, I am a very reliable and conscientious worker. I enjoy walks with my dogs and they get all the love, attention and pampering I can give them. I would do the same for your beloved pet. I know how much they mean to you, since I feel the exact same way. I have cared for many pet in my 54 years. From senior pets, puppies and those with medical issues. I have a very flexible schedule. I have been a respiratory therapist for over thirty years

“We absolutely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for help with their pet , she is a wonderful, caring, professional and kind person who adores animals!!! We were so thrilled with her services, and will definitely use her again. She came to our house for several weeks, doing drop-in visits with our dog when I was out of town working remote. I received a over Report Card everytime, detailing all the care and the fun that they had together. She also sent multiple pictures everytime as well. Millie looked forward to Samantha's visits and they became fast best friends. They played fetch, went on walks, had potty breaks and food breaks and lots of cuddling! Thank you Samantha:)”

“I've never hired anyone to look after the cats before. I've always relied on my elderly mother to take care of them while I'm away. The thought of having a stranger in my home while I'm gone made me feel uncomfortable but I wanted piece of mind in knowing that if mom faced any health concerns that the cats would still get care until I return home. Melissa was at the top of the list, on Rover, for people in my area so I read the reviews left by her past clients and decided that she was worth a gamble. Before I went out of town, she came out to meet us and I showed her around the house. She was present at all the times we agreed on and sent a daily note and pictures of them when she could. (They used to be feral and love to hide from strangers.) I hope Melissa is available the next time I go out of town. I'm thoroughly pleased with her service and hope this review helps her to get more clients that may have a situation similar to mine.”

About: I have loved animals all my life. I think they really are a part of a family, and they deserve to be absolutely spoiled and shown all the love they can take I am self-employed so I have a very flexible schedule. I don’t work a regular 9 to 5 so I am home longer than the average person I make sure to take care of all of their needs. Make sure they are fed, always have water, entertained, played with, loved on and completely taken care of

“Megan did a excellent job watching our little man Guido. He can be very picky on who he gives his attention to. In every picture she sent he was snuggled up on her. Which means he is very happy and comfortable. So glad we found Megan as a sitter. We will definitely use her again.”
