Cat Sitting Rougemont

About: After a 30 year career in IT, it was time to pursue my passion…caring for animals. I love all animals, big and small and look forward to providing loving care for yours. I grew up on a small farm and have owned one myself for the past 11 years, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals including donkeys, goats, horses, cows, ducks, turkeys, chickens, guineas, cats, and dogs. I’m also open to care for other furry friends as well! Additionally, I've just started Metro to Meadows Farm & Pet Sitting LLC. I'm incorporated in NC and insured. I'll work with you to provide services that meet your schedule and needs. I can’t guarantee a precise time (dealing with animals and traffic) but will be there within an hour of the requested time. Dogs are priority for schedule consistency due to the need for potty breaks. My earliest visits are 6 AM and the latest is 8 PM every day of the week. A meet & greet session is required for all new clients prior to a scheduled engagement (free of charge) to ensure the best personalized care for you and your pet. I'm very picky about how my own pets and home are cared for and will ensure the same high standards are provided for yours. Before you leave, please make sure the Contact and Pet Information Sheet is completed. I will also need access to your home/space where pets are located so this would include things like a key or key pad code, and alarm code.

About: With a degree in Wildlife Biology and Zoology, along with extensive hands-on experience as a zookeeper, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to animal care. I am deeply passionate about ensuring every animal receives the highest level of attention, love, and personalized care. My understanding of animal behavior and health allows me to cater to each pet’s unique needs, whether it involves feeding, grooming, administering medications, or offering comfort and companionship. From small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs to larger animals such as dogs, cats, larger felids and hoofstock, I have the skills and experience to handle a diverse range of animals. I prioritize building meaningful connections with each animal, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and well-cared-for. By choosing me, you're trusting a dedicated professional who genuinely cares for your pet as much as you do, providing peace of mind knowing they are in capable and loving hands. Please let me know the times that work best for you, and I'll do my best to accommodate. I work full-time but offer pet care on the side because of my passion for loving and caring for animals. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to minimize stress. I follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medication, and any special requirements. I also make sure to spend quality time with the pets, offering them companionship and mental stimulation through play and walks, while keeping their environment clean and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I strive to provide personalized care that makes pets feel loved, secure, and happy while their owners are away

About: Senior dogs, young puppies, and medical schooling are no issue here! I’ve been taking care and learning about all sorts of dogs for 9 years! I am currently working part time as a server, which leaves plenty of time for your pets! I am available 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and some days, I am fully available. In my home, my cat has the whole house to run, play and sleep. My very energetic pitbull has a huge fence to run and play in, as well as the whole house to continue the fun.

About: I have had several dogs in my family that I have taken care of, including one with reactivity and separation anxiety. I have also been working at the animal shelter for over a year, where I am a mentor. I have worked with several different animals, and many different sized dogs there. Am proficient in walks, enrichment, light training, play groups, and general care. I also enjoy photography and love taking custom pictures of pets! I am currently available all week, with lots of flexibility on time. I prefer to work during the weeks, and in the mornings, but can adapt depending on the pet needs. I have both pet sat at my house and at the owner's house, and am comfortable doing both. If visiting another home, I like to have a throughout understanding of the pet and their needs. I prefer to do long-term sitting at my home, as I have a large yard where they can explore safely.

About: I bring several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including walks, exercise, playtime, and overnight stays. I genuinely enjoy being active with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work as a Project Analyst, which gives me flexibility outside of my core workday. I can easily incorporate walks, playtime, drop-ins, and overnight stays while still maintaining a consistent schedule and giving each dog the attention they deserve. I’m available on an as needed basis for all your needs! I have a fenced in dog park yard in my home, and my place enables plenty of playtime and space to exercise outdoors. I focus on keeping each dog comfortable and sticking to their normal routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, meals, and downtime, while treating them with the same care I’d want for my own pet.

About: I am a veterinary assistant (coming from a emergency and specialty hospital setting) with a background of animal boarding/daycare experience which includes basic grooming (nail trimming, anal gland expression, bathing...), training, and play. I'm comfortable and experienced with all types of animal behavior and am more than happy to accommodate special needs! I am skilled in dog and cat medication administration: intranasally, subcutaneously, orally, and intramuscularly. I am also RECOVER certified in dog/cat CPR BLS/ALS and well versed in handling animal emergencies and events. I am also comfortable with chicken (just chickens at this point in my career), rabbit, and guinea pig care including SQ, IM, and oral medication administration. I love animals and i'm elated to have the opportunity to take care of your babies! I'm currently a part-time worker at a general family vet practice and pick up shifts occasionally at an emergency veterinary hospital. My schedule is a little flexible due to this fact and my availability will reflect this! I do own two (2) cats of my own and will ask if your pet is comfortable with being left for maximum 2 hours at a time, no more than once a day so I can check up on them. This is for house sitting only. When visiting your home I'll be conscious of how your pet receives me. For bright, young puppies and kittens, I'll keep them entertained and stimulated for the length of my visit, making sure there is no signs of trouble or illness. I'll be sure to clean and sanitize myself before and after each visit with these puppies/kittens to ensure their safety and health. The same applies with young and old adult dogs and cats, taking into consideration the special needs that come with age.

About: I have take care of pets my whole life and have had over a year of experience working in a pet resort where I got to experience taking care of all different kinds of dog breeds, ages, temperaments, etc. I also now work full time in a veterinary clinic as a veterinary technician assistant. Currently, I work full time as veterinary technician assistant 4 days of the week and this varies from week to week on which does those are. I am very willing to come on lunch breaks to do pet check-ins and/or potty walks, as well as move my schedule around to better fit pet owners. I make the pet's wellbeing and health my #1 priority when I am pet sitting because I know they will miss their owners when they are away and will do my best to make them as happy/content as possible. Having lists and notes that tell me about the pet's medications, routines, diets, and likes/dislikes is an additional help that will allow me to better suite the pet's needs that I am watching.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments for over 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and I’ll make sure you feel at ease with regular updates and communication. I work 12-hour hospital shifts, so my availability can vary slightly week to week, but I’m intentional about only accepting bookings I can fully commit to. On my days off, I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, walks, playtime, and care they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and genuine love. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animal, so I make safety, comfort, and communication a priority. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs so your pet feels secure, cared for, and as relaxed as possible while you’re away.

“Erika was absolutely amazing with my cat Suki! She went above and beyond to make sure Suki was well cared for. I really appreciated all the extra attention she gave my ‘spicy-towards-most-people” kitty - it was clear that Erika gained Suki’s trust. She was also patient when I accidentally gave her the wrong address. I would definitely book with Erika again! 💛”
