Cat Sitting in Saint Joseph

“We were very pleased with Kassidy and will certainly book with her again. We booked somewhat last minute and were very anxious as we had trip planned, etc. She accommodated and took very good care of our kitties. She even checked on and fed our birds, which we didn't count on her doing, as some people are not comfortable with large parrots. She did wonderful and we are very thankful for her.”

About: I've been working in this field since 2013 and love caring for all animals! I graduated vet school in 2022 and with my Masters in Public Health in 2023. I travel a lot for work (mostly in the winter) but I work from home when I'm not traveling and am hoping to get out of the house more! I live in an apartment so I typically will not be able to bring other's pets there. I have years of experience pet sitting in my client's homes where most pets are happiest and most comfortable.

About: From the time I was a baby, there has never been a moment where my family did not have any animals in the home, and my love for animals I inherited from my grandpa. I knew when I had my own home, I would also have pets. After adopting my sweet fur babies, finding a reliable and trusting pet sitter was the most important thing, and having the assurance that they were being loved on and taking care of the same way that I do was the utmost importance. After some time and consideration, I thought I could offer my services as a pet sitter and the same love and caring for other animals that I have for mine, as well as offering the peace of mind pet parents need when trusting another to watch their beloved pets. I have personal experience with different breeds of dogs from big to small as well as cats, and have had animals from puppy/kitten stage to old age. My Fila girl completed 4 levels of training at Tri-State K9 University as her background was unknown when I fostered (and later adopted her), but though her behavior it was clear she had been through a rough time and suffered from fear and anxiety. With patience, love, and training she blossomed out of her shell and out came the sweet, playful girl I knew she truly was. I know some animals need extra care and handling in order to trust someone, which is why I know having the best pet sitter is so important and want to bring my love, experience, and patience to you and your beloved pets. I am mostly available early mornings and evening, but I am willing to work with you to find the best schedule to care for your animal(s). My sweet Fila can be picky with her canine friends, so I will not be able to provide services in my home but I am happy to take your dog on walks around your neighborhood, a nearby park, and play a game of fetch (or whatever your animal prefers) in your yard. I also have a wonderful fiance and stepchildren who would also love to help provide extra love and hugs to your animal(s) if allowed.

About: Hi, I’m Anna, 19 years of age. I’m looking to fulfill my free time with dogs. I have previous dog sitting experience and if relevant I’ve been babysitting for the past four years and withhold caretaking traits, and understand the responsibilities that come with caring for another. I have a deep passion for all animals. I’m adaptive to knowing body language and catch signs of any disproportional behavior. Thank you! I’m currently available 24/7, which means I can easily accommodate same-day requests. I’m also more than happy to stop by as many times as needed throughout the day to make sure your pets are well taken care of. As previously mentioned I have an understanding of canine behavior and body language so I’m aware of their boundaries and trusts. I also have experience of dog sitting; the pup is still thriving today so that’s a good point :).

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. We had pets of all kinds growing up. I have a dog (border collie + blue heeler mix) and a cat (Maine coon). I have been pet sitting for four years and have experience with complex diets, nervous and excited animals, and administering medications orally and through injections. I pet sit in my free time. I usually have to ask off work to take care of animals, so two weeks notice is best. My schedule will be more open in August. I always double check locks on all doors to ensure safety for the animals and belongings in the house. I always clean messes made by animals while I am there.

“Amanda was great checking in on my cat! She sent pictures daily and communicated very effectively. I always felt like my and my cat's preferences were respected. She's great and I love the peace of mind of knowing someone knowledgeable about animals is checking up on him. I'll definitely use Amanda whenever I need a pet sitter.”

About: I am a RN and have been a foster fur mama for several years. I have 4 adopted fur babies, Tripp(Havanese)/Kashi(Coton)/Barkley(Lowchen)/Maggie(Maltese), that all came from horrible conditions. I have nurtured these kiddos back to health and watched them go from terrified & malnourished to thriving & living their best life! My fur kids get along great with other dogs! They love to run and play in our fenced back yard, and go on daily walks at the Riverfront. We no longer foster (too hard to not adopt more lol!) So we decided to start pet sitting/walking instead. I believe that our pets are family and they are treated as such with LOTS of love, cuddles and belly rubs! Im pretty flexible and available most always! I work from home so someone is always here with them. If I am gone its usually to do chores and right back. We have a large backyard that is fenced. I have 4 small dogs that love to play and cuddle on the couch! They have their own living room with couch and chairs to lounge on. We also have a spare bedroom that they love to hang out in! Crate available if desired. Mine don't stay in crates but I do have an occasional fur guest that loves their crate. That's totally up to you & your fur baby!

About: I've had pets of all kinds, the basic, cat or dog, and even fish. Also have had more exotic pets; rabbits, ducks, birds, ferret, etc! I've done years of research on pets and I'm very reliable when it comes to caring for pets, caring for your pet, I will consider and treat it as if it was my own! I adore animals with all my heart! I'm currently completely available until I get a second job, probably part time so I can help & keep your pets needs met & provide the care for your furry family member whenever it's needed! I do not live on my own currently so that’s something I can possibly offer in the future! However, I have 4 cats & a sweet little mutt dog aswell :) any pet will be cared & treated as my own!

“Returned communication quickly. Asked questions to get to know my pets. Updated me as the visit was happening.”

About: I’m a middle school teacher first, but I’ve had dogs all my life and have been dogsitting for the past five years through word of mouth and friend recommendations. I started then and loved it, so thought I would expand by joining Rover! We are a pet-loving family who loves having animals as “extra family” in our homes to give their own family peace of mind while they are at work or traveling. During the summer break, I’m available during the day, nights, and weekends. During the school year I am only available for overnight and weekend sitting. We have a large fenced in yard and a friend-loving golden retriever and a really big 2 year old helper. Pets kept in our home are treated just like our pets. Some of our clients even pile up in our bed! We want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible with us as it can already be stressful being separated from family.

“I really appreciate Savannah and have asked her to be my cat sitter in the future! Savannah is kind and considerate and did a great job watching my cats when I was away. She sent me pictures of my kitties, like I asked for, and she appraised me of their behavior when I was gone. I have confidence in her and I am happy that she is watching my babies when I am away. I have only positive things to say about her! ??‍⬛”

“Mary Kate was awesome! She was there on time everyday, and if not she would text me to make sure a different time was okay. She sent pictures everyday of my kitties and made sure to let me know what went on! I will definitely be using her again!”

About: Grew up in a home of 6 dogs. Love caring and being around dogs. I enjoy going on long walks, and I’m sure your dog does too! I have a lot of patience, and love. Just can’t have my own dog. I don’t have a life after work so thought it would be a great idea to spend time with my neighbor dogs. A lot of my best traits are similar to a dogs: loyal, energetic, hungry, protector. During boarding your dog is welcome to sit on any of my furniture. During walks your dog is welcome to run as fast and far as they want. During potty breaks your dog is welcome to poop/pee anywhere in my yard. I’m free pretty much every night!

“I needed a pet sitter on short notice and April did not disappoint. Very friendly, responsive, easy to work with, and everything went as smooth as I could hope. She sent updates and pictures. Well worth the time and peace of mind. I’m definitely going to work with April in the future.”
