Cat Sitting Salem

“As always, Heather is reliable and wonderful. We travel many weekends for kids' activities, but we never worry about our pets because we know we can count on her to take excellent care of them!”

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. What sets me apart is my ability to balance active, engaging care with a calm and patient approach. Whether your pet loves long walks, a good game of fetch, or simply relaxing and feeling safe, I adapt to their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable working with elderly pets and those with medical needs. I understand the importance of routine, gentle handling, and close attention to detail when it comes to medications, mobility limitations, or simply providing a quieter, low-stress environment. I take pride in making sure every pet feels comfortable, supported, and cared for at their own pace. I treat every pet like they’re my own—paying attention to the little things, keeping you updated, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I make sure to plan my availability so I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I am a graduate student at Wayne State, so I do have classes Monday-Friday. Outside of those hours, I’m available for visits, walks, and check-ins. My weekends are somewhat flexible, allowing me to provide more extended care, drop-ins, or multiple visits as needed. I’m especially happy to help with dog walking, whether it’s part of your pet’s daily routine or if you just need an extra hand. If getting your dog out for a walk has become difficult, I’m more than willing to step in and make sure they still get the exercise, fresh air, and attention they need. I aim to be reliable, flexible, and accommodating so your pet’s care fits seamlessly into both of our schedules. When caring for pets in their own homes, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know how important it is for pets to stay in a familiar environment, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medication, or favorite playtime activities. I approach every home with respect and every pet with patience. Some pets love attention and play, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence, and I’m very comfortable adjusting to both. I make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep you updated with regular check-ins so you can feel confident knowing your pet (and your home) are in good hands. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your pet happy in the place they know best.

About: I was born and raised as an animal person. There was rarely a time when my family was without a pet of some sort, from dogs and cats to gerbils, rabbits, lizards and hermit crabs. So naturally when I married a fellow animal lover who worked at a dog kennel for 9+ years as a teenager, we decided to get a dog...and then some chickens...and 4 goats...and another dog...and 3 cats. Anyway, now we own a small hobby farm in Salem Twp and are raising two little girls who are also animal lovers. Being a livestock owner means that I deal with a lot of random weird and gross things on a daily basis, so I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. I just want to give your beloved pet the love they deserve when you're away from home, because that's exactly what I want for my animals when I'm gone. I have two elementary aged kids so I'm available during the school day. I work a few hours a week as an early childhood class instructor but otherwise I'm just home or running errands most days. I can't offer pet sitting in my home or overnight at your home, but I'm available to come visit, feed, and walk your pets during the day. I may be able to expand my schedule depending on my kids schedules, so just ask!

“Katelin was amazing! She was available for me on pretty short notice and was a great communicator! I really appreciated the updates every day, and knew that Wrigley was in good hands while I was gone during the day.”

Allie M.

“Kelsey was amazing! She took such good care of Rico, shared pictures, and gave him lots of snuggles. We lost power at our house while we were away, and not only did Kelsey keep us updated on the temperature and make sure Rico was comfortable - she even reported the outage on our behalf! We will definitely contact her for future dog sitting needs and would absolutely recommend her to anyone else. Thank you, Kelsey!”

Kelley P.

“Hannah dropped in twice a day, right on time and giving lots of love to my fur baby. Great communication and purrfect care. I felt so much better leaving with Z in her care.”

Lori M.

“Thank you Alex for having so much fun with Mittsy during your drop-in visits. I would highly recommend Alex! I plan to request more drop-ins very soon!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, caring for four dogs and a cat, so being around pets has always been second nature to me. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog, whether it’s for a walk, check-in, or overnight care. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am home for the summer and have availability up to August. I will be working part time and will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have a friendly 6 year old dog at home with many toys beds and crates. i am experienced, as i’ve been pet sitting for the past two years and grew up with 5 pets.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I absolutely love spending time with pets—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them some extra love and attention. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Friends and family often rely on me to look after their pets, and I always treat them like my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands, and I’d love to make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away! 🐾 I’m available after 5:00 during the week if walking is needed or a late night feeding I’m available most weekends days and nights Some Mondays I’m available earlier than 5:00 I would be comfortable caring for your pet in my home however I don’t have a fenced yard I would have to walk them if a dog to use the bathroom.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 18 years now. I usually help family and friends when they go out of town. Pets are like family and should be treated as such and that is something I value in my care. I currently work a full time job. My daily and weekly work schedule are morning shifts and a few weekends, I can be flexible for the needs of your loved ones. If I’m in a clients home, I will do what the client says is most best for their loved one. I aim to make sure each pet is cared for and comfortable in their environment.

About: Due to my mom being a vet, there has always been a pet (usually three of them!) in our house. Because of that I have loved and taken care of animals my whole life, so much so that I even work at a dog bakery where we make human grade treats! (Don't tell my other coworkers, but bambam the shop dog is too sweet not to be my favorite!) I currently work part time most mornings, so I am available before 10am and in the afternoon to make sure your fur baby gets the love they need! I am currently offering drop-in checkins and walks depending on your needs. Whether your pet needs to be fed, walked, played with, given meds, or just needs to stretch their legs, I am perfect for the job. If there is anything else more specific your animal needs, don't hesitate to share! Your pets happiness and comfort is my goal!

“As I started a new job being away from home for many hours, my wife and I rushed to find someone to drop in on our Golden Retriever. In less than 24-hrs after meeting Emi-Lu, she became part of our family. Emi-Lu asked so many questions, showed deep care, and even left us a special note. She was so detailed and so caring. I know that Finn is safe and well taken care of when he is in Emi-Lu’s care. Her passion for animals, her empathy, and her attention to detail are unmatched!!!”

About: I am great with dogs and cats. They always trust me right away and just want to play with me. Don’t take my word though, look through my happy customers! I am recently graduated from college and only have some part time work now so very open schedule. Also if you want me to teach your dog anything I can try! I have a whistle and treats that I have been successful with in the past. I love to sit with the dogs and hang out, go on walks with other dogs, and play fetch for the high energy dogs. Of course older dogs and cats will get some less physically demanding attention.
