Cat Sitting Russell

About: I have experience working with all kinds of animals, as I grew up on a rescue farm. We rescued dogs of all ages and cats from multiple litters! I’m currently working full-time in a hospital, but I am looking for some extra work outside of it on the weekends and some weekdays. This is a great activity to decompress with animals and make extra money! I will ensure that I keep the clients home safe and secure when leaving. I will respect boundaries and ensure that I go and do my job, taking care and playing with your pets!

“Stephanie has been great! This is the second time she's watched my greyhound Chuck in 3 weeks now. She's very communicative and even once was able to change his food on the fly (he's having some belly issues) while I was out of town. She has the utmost concern for the animal's well being. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be booking again.”

About: I’ve worked hands-on with animals for over 12 years through shelters, rescue organizations, fostering, and TNR work. I’ve cared for everything from neonatal kittens to senior and special-needs animals, including medication administration and post-op recovery care. I’m calm, reliable, and experienced with animals that may be nervous, shy, energetic, or need extra patience. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. With my current work schedule, I’m available early mornings (5–6 AM) before work, again around noon, and throughout the evening. I make pets a top priority and can also provide late-evening check-ins to help pets settle in comfortably for the night. Based on your pet’s normal routine and comfort level, I can accommodate leash walks, supervised backyard time, or longer walks and exercise as needed.

“Nancy was a purrfect caretaker for our two cats! Her communication was great and took wonderful care, especially for one of our cat's "issues". We were gone for 5 days and felt completely comfortable having her in our home to visit and care for our animals. We will be calling on her again if we need pet sitting services.”

About: My family used to own 7 dogs when I was a preteen! 6 were chihuahuas and one was a pit bull, so I feel comfortable with any dog size. I would feed, walk, wash, and play with them. Now, I help my friends with their dogs whenever it’s needed. I know when they need space and when they want to be playful. I have a lots of energy, so I can ply with your pup for a long time! I’m a full-time student and work part-time for two days a week, but it only takes up in the morning. On any day of the week, I am available at any time after 4pm, and before 11am except on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. I’m always observing, partially because of admiration, but also watching out for any signs of discomfort. I can recognize when they need space, are uncomfortable, anxious, or threatened. I’m cautious when it comes to interactions while walking and will walk across the other side of the street from another dog for precaution.

“Kim is phenomenal! I would highly recommend. She communicates quick and was super easy to work with. She took my appointment last minute and really saved me a lot of stress. She was very good with my doughter and I will use her again in the future if she is available! Thank you for helping me out in a pinch Kim!”

“Christine was awesome! I have never had anyone that I didn't know watching my animals, so I was a little nervous. But she was great. My kitties LOVED her and it helped me enjoy my vacation more knowing they were being so well taken care of. My one cat has diabetes and she made sure to stay on schedule with his meds.I also got lots of pictures and updates for every visit. Highly recommend👍🏼😁”

“Caitlin did an excellent job caring for my two rabbits while I was away! She is very detail oriented, energetic, and my two pets were so happy and relaxed when I got back. We would love to call on her again and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks, Caitlin!”

“This is our 2nd time booking Rosanna to check in on our cats while we were out of town. She is my go-to sitter because of how thorough she is and she remembers to check on everything we request. I highly recommend Rosanna!! Thank you for everything :)”

“Liz took the best care of our two dogs. One of our dogs is a bit nervous and she was great about the needs of each dog with different personalities. It was our first time to be away during the night without the dogs and they were perfectly fine with Liz making several stops throughout the day. We will definitely ask for Liz to care for our dogs in the future. She’s very good about communicating and prompt with all the requested visits. I highly recommend Liz. She is so nice and professional.”

“Marcelina provided the best care to my babies! She is super friendly, responsive and provided regular updates for each visit. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

Sarah N.

“I have a very high maintenance cat (17, blind, won't eat, etc) and Mackenzie took such good care of her! She checked in twice a day and sent very detailed updates to let me know how Gracie was doing. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing the Gracie was safe and being well cared for by someone that really truly cared about Gracie's wellbeing. I'll definitely be rebooking with Mackenzie!!”

About: I’ve had pets (dogs, cats, fishes, a turtle) my whole life and genuinely love caring for animals. I currently attend training classes with my own dog, so I’m always learning more about positive training and animal care. I’m also a vegetarian and have a strong love and respect for animals. As a nighttime caregiver and daytime special educator, I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and comfortable caring for others with different needs. I’d love the opportunity to give your pets the same care, attention, and love I give my own! I currently work part time and have a very flexible schedule! I’m available weekdays and weekends within a wide variety of times throughout the day and I’m always willing to work around your schedule. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and understand how important it is to make pets feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention and supervision, and make sure your pet gets the care, exercise, and affection they need.

“You did a great job”

“Sunshine and her children took wonderful care of Leila. I enjoyed all the pictures she provided us of playtime and cuddle time. Sunshine was dependable and communicated with us every visit. She allowed us to have a stress free vacation. I would definitely recommend her for your fur baby. Thank Sunshine!!!!”

Tonya G.

“Faith was a fantastic pet sitter! She communicated really well & kept our pets very well cared for while we were away. Faith went above & beyond by cleaning out food dishes & guinea pig crates. She even got our piggies a new water bottle! We will definitely be booking with Faith again in the future. Thanks Faith!”

Megan G.

“She did an amazing job with my dog. I am so grateful that I was able to transition back to the office with absolute confidence that Charlee would be well taken care of. Jessika went above and beyond to ease my mind! Charlee loves her already! 🥰”

About: I've been dog-sitting my friends' & neighbors' dogs for years now. Everything from Shih Tzus to Labs to Collies and Pit Bulls, I do well with all types of dogs! I love taking dogs for walks and playing fetch! (Also, I love cats! (I'm a Cat Mom of 4)). I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet(s)! My weekly availability varies, but I keep my calendar up-to-date. I respond promptly to requests, so feel free to reach out and ask! I am always respectful of my clients' homes & make sure I take the dogs out frequently to use the bathroom & for walks/play, that litter boxes are cleaned, & that there is always fresh water/food given.

“Teri was amazing! She was able to meet with us when our original plans fell through last minute. She was highly communicative and got along with our sometimes skittish dog great. We will totally be booking her the next time we need dog care!”

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to independent cats. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, ensuring they get the proper attention and care they need- as long as instructions can be provided to maintain routines and medical needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing gentle care, companionship, and a safe environment. Wether it’s keeping up with a puppy, a shy cat, or providing extra comfort for an aging pet, I would be honored to be trusted with your furry family members. I currently am a full time Software Engineering student at Loyola University! Currently, most of my coursework is online other than Tuesdays and Thursdays. This limits my availability on those days for additional pet care. My flexible online schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week, ensuring they receive attention and care they deserve. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, playtimes, and check-ins, making pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for all animals in my care. My home has a large yard with fencing where I can comfortably walk one’s pet outdoors while remaining safe. I have two cats and one dog in the home, so I do carefully manage introductions and limit interactions if needed to ensure all pets are comfortable. For dogs, I can crate or pen if needed, providing them with personal space, or allow them to roam safely on a leash outside while ensuring they are well cared for inside. For cats, I prioritize an stress-free environment, providing personal space and ensuring quiet areas to retreat to. I understand feline body languages and can understand shy, playful, or independent cats to ensure their comfort.
