Cat Sitting Slackwater

About: I have always had pets since childhood and adore all kinds, even exotics! I have 3 years of veterinary medicine experience and I am comfortable with temperaments, body language, senior pet care, wound care and medication administration. I am able to stop in to care for pets before and after work as well as more frequently depending on distance. I will hangout for a little to make our friend feel a little less lonely if you’re on a trip! I ensure that all items are out of reach and that all medication and food are given (plus some treats!). Making the pet comfortable and happy is my goal!

About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family for about 10 years. I am dedicated to caring for your pet as if they were my own! Willing and able to follow any personalized or unique instructions as well. I am currently working part-time and have plenty of open availability. That may be subject to change on a weekly basis but advanced notice will be provided. I hold myself to a very high standard of trust and integrity in all aspects of life. I am dedicated to providing an excellent client experience and caring for pets and the home as if they were my own.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and every single one of them has had a piece of my heart! I presently have two senior dogs and one three-year old, who probably feels as passionately about dogs as I do! I have also lived with, loved, and taken care of several cats over the last 13 years. Growing up, I was responsible for taking care of my family’s lizards and frogs. I presently am able to control my own schedule and can make myself available for any last-minute or unexpected pet care needs that you may have. Currently, my only blocked off time for certain is Wednesdays from 5:30pm-9:30pm In my home, I have a fenced in yard to ensure that outside time is safe and fun. If you do not have a fenced in space but are still looking for your pup to have some outdoor time, I always ensure a leash is used to keep them safe. I have successfully used components of behavior analysis to build trust and confidence in my own dogs, while also ensuring that I understand their own behavioral cues to prevent stress in new or different situations. This includes shaping behaviors, frequent reinforcement, and pairing with new dogs to demonstrate that I am a safe person in their environment. Should transportation ever need to occur, I have a seat belt that clips to any standard harness as well as a seat cover that prevents climbing over the center console. I have a number of 6-foot leashes as well as 2 30-foot leashes to allow for safe running in open spaces, and an expandable 10-foot leash.

About: I've taken care of dogs for over a decade from high energy (I have a border collie) to low energy (I also have a shih tzu), elderly, and everything in between. I'd love to make your dog's day by taking them on a walk or giving them an incredible play time. Same goes for your cats! Whether your pets love activity or simply want someone to watch them sniff in the backyard or hang on the couch, I'd love to bring a highlight to their day. Right now, Friday nights through Sunday are the times I have completely free to dedicate to helping take care of your pets. I'm hoping to add more times soon and options to board. As someone who searches for hours to find the right person to watch my pets, I know how hard it can be to trust someone new to take care of your fur family. Whether it's pictures, reassuring texts, following your instructions exactly, or all 3 I will do my best to make your pets as happy and healthy as possible. I offer drop in visits and walks, so please let me know what you are and aren't comfortable with and I will make sure they are well cared for while giving you as many updates as you'd like!

“Zania is an exceptional dog keeper! She’s so thoughtful about my boy SAMSON! He wasn’t feeling his best today and she took all the right precautions and some. Thank you so much.”

“After a last minute pet sitter cancellation, I was scrambling trying to find a reliable, responsible, and trustworthy dog sitter for a weekend trip. I stumbled upon the Rover app where I connected with Tyler. He is a phenomenal pet sitter! He is prompt, professional, and really easy to communicate with. He provided me with daily logs, photos, and updates; which was so nice to see. I highly recommend Tyler! We will 10/10 book with him again.”

Emily M.

“If I could give Brittany more than 5 stars I would. She's awesome! Her check in updates were detailed and made us smile, and the added photos assured us that our small family members back home were cared for and loved while we were gone. Our cat, Hiei, is very shy, but Brittany was very patient with her and Hiei was comfortable enough to let Brittany pet her! For our beta fish we were worried about his health, as he developed pop eye just before we left, but Brittany made sure to update us on his activity. He loved the attention and even practically had his own photoshoot. Brittany is very personable and we would definitely book with her again!”

About: I have taken care of many pets from family to friends and neighbors all with so much joy! I love all animals and have worked with many different kind. I’m currently in college and have a schedule with many breaks throughout my day and a light schedule which could be perfect for pet care! I care for pets in the comfort of their own home so they can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment. I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you outline it, from feeding schedules to walk times and favorite toys. I keep water fresh, ensure their space is clean, and give plenty of attention and playtime. I’m careful to lock doors, secure gates, and respect your home while keeping your pet happy and safe. I’ll also send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: Hi! I have had pets my whole life. Growing up we had dogs and then beginning in 2006, I adopted my first cat and ultimately turned my family into cat lovers (we have 8 kitties between the various family members). I’ve personally used Rover for the last year for cat sitters during some family travel and have been so impressed with the service that I wanted to become a sitter myself. I am currently working part-time from home, so I have lots of time between school and/or camp drop-offs and pick-ups to play with doggies and kitties. I am eager to increase my daily step count, so dog walking would be a perfect addition to my walk. Occasionally my animal loving boys might be with me on the job. Both are ver gentle. I would care for all of your pets in the comfort and safety of your home, yard, and/or neighborhood. I believe pets thrive on familiar environments.
