Cat Sitting in Shelby

About: Growing up in a house with lots of animals has taught me how to care for animals with patience, love, and responsibility from a very young age meaning I’m very comfortable handling all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs! I truly believe every animal deserves quality time, genuine affection, and attentive care — not just the basics. As a dog mom myself to my sweet (and slightly crazy!) baby, I completely understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I know how much specific routines, instructions, and little details matter, and I will always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, walks, patience, or extra attention, I’m here for it all. You can relax knowing your baby will be treated like family with me! Skills… - oral medications - any type of extra care - shy/quiet animals - comfortable with hyper, energetic animals - older animals - puppies of any kind - calm under pressure - Excellent communication with owner - pet safety awareness - long walks and active play - gentle handling technique I work at Starbucks so I go by shifts each week! Each week is the exact same shifts so it makes to easy on me and the owner! When can I visit?… (please remember I can be flexible and visit before or after shifts if communicated with!) Monday: 8:00am-12:00pm and 9:30pm-10:30pm Tuesday: 8:00am-10:00pm Wednesday: 8:00am-12:00pm and 9:00pm-10:00pm Thursday: after 4:00pm-8:00pm Friday: after 1:00pm-8:00pm Saturday: after 1:00pm-10:00pm Sunday: from 11:00am-6:00pm Please know your pets care and safety are my utmost responsibility. I understand the need for communication, specific instructions, and genuine care for your animal. I know that if I left my pet in someone else’s care, I would want the utmost respect, patience, gentle-hands, and skills to be applied. And I am more than happy to give that same experience to your baby! I love all types of animals and each personality is different and beautiful. This isn’t just another job for me, it’s a way to help others in a genuine, kind way! From one parent to another, I understand and I would love to work with you! Just communicate what you need me to do and consider it done!

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, farms animals. Loving and caring for animals is my passion. They can be just a sprout all the way to a retired old baby and I will be happy to care for them. I’m currently working full time but plan on switch careers and would love to give this a try and see where it takes me in life. In my home, my dog, Buddy, is spoiled rotten. Lots of loves, plenty of cuddles. He is allowed on furniture. He doesn’t have a fenced in yard but he know his boundaries. In your home, I am more than willing to go by your rules.

“Great job. I appreciate you making the effort to hunt down our very shy kitty and being willing to make everything work at the last minute!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 when I got my first dog Charlie. Raised him from a 7 month in 2020 to a fully grown 6 year old standard poodle. I love him so much, and Potty trained Him the same year I got him in 2020. I used to own a female cat called Sophie. Had her from 2021 until 2026 she had left us due to some unfortunate circumstances. I got her as a kitten in 2021 she was only a few weeks old. Put much care into feeding her and potty training her later on in 2021. I’ve taken care of a multitude of dogs. From old senior dogs to puppies. I’ve taken care of a senior black Labrador, and a senior miniature poodle. I’ve also taken care of other breeds like pit bulls . I’m comfortable with any dog or cat and don’t mind them in my house. I’m currently home for college so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets. I wake up early so I feed my pets and take them out to use the bathroom at 8-9am. I usually take them out every 2-3 hours and I’ll keep them in my living room. I’ll try to take them out for a walk in the morning or evening to avoid the awful summer heat I have a fenced back yard, and a friendly poodle that would love to play with your pets if needed. If your pet likes to stay to themself I’ll leave my dog downstairs to allow your pet to feel comfortable at home.

“Excellent care for my two cats. Normally very shy, they were comfortable with Carlie. Carlie stepped in when my usual sitter had a schedule conflict and was a complete blessing. I highly recommend her!”

“Stephanie did such a great job! She communicated with me and sent pictures of my kitties. I felt very relaxed knowing that she was going to check on them and make sure they had everything they needed. I highly recommend Stephanie and will happily request her again in the future.”
