Cat Sitting in South Russell

“Emma is a GEM!! She is responsive, timely, and thoughtful. Most importantly, my 'village idiots' (three dogs and a cat) ADORE her!! We're absolutely smitten and appreciate knowing our lil fur babies are in excellent care when we travel. Thank you, Emma, and see you soon!”

“Megan took care of my boy perfectly! He takes meds and can be fussy, but she handled that task beautifully. This was Megan's first visit and I could not be more happy! Thank you for taking care of my boy as if he is your own!”

“Rain or shine, 100% Beth is all in! She is so amazing with our Henri. Highly recommend, even though I would love to keep her all for ourselves.”

About: While growing up, I fed, watered, played with, and walked our family friends. I even picked up poop! As an adult, I've done it all, from cleaning major messes to administering meds. I love canines and felines of all varieties, from the smallest to the largest! I am available to care for your pet(s) throughout the business day. Although I am also doing some volunteer work, I keep a regular schedule. I will care for your pets according to your express instructions. They will be treated as my own with as much love and concern as I can provide.

About: I have a sweet beagle that was rescued 7 years ago. I am fully responsible for his care, including feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, etc. I always check him for ticks after visiting a park and know how to safely remove them. I enjoy going for long walks, especially in summer, so would be glad to give your dog exercise. My kids have had goats, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, and ducks, which are all fun to play with, and I would be glad to care for your less-typical pets, if needed. I have even cared for lizards and snakes. I am a teacher, so have loads of time available in the summer. During the school year, I am available most weekends and after 4 on weekdays. I always keep dogs on leash when walking them...you never know when a squirrel or other dog will come by or how they will react.

About: Update June 1, 2026. I have taken a part-time job and right now I can only accept cat drop in requests . Unfortunately I can’t commit to dog walking because of this part-time job unless it’s on the weekend. I am answering as a pet owner. I am hoping to start working as a pet sitter/dog walker soon. As a kid we had birds and hamsters, then graduated to cats when I was about 14. As a young adult I usually had up to 4 cats at the same time. When my kids were in high school, my husband introduced me to dogs by re-homing a dog named Lucy. We still have her. I had never had dogs before but I am so glad I did not say NO to hubby at the time. We have 2 dogs now but no cats. I do miss having cats and hope to again some day. I left my job of 34 years and would love to do something I have been wanting to do for a long time but never got around to. I am happy to care for cats too! At my house we have invisible fence to keep the dogs from leaving the yard, though our younger dog needs to be on a long lead because he is so excitable and cannot always be trusted to stay in the yard. We also have invisible fence inside to keep both dogs out of the kitchen.

“Ben is the kindest, most diligent, pet sitter ever! He’s passionate in his love of animals. I want to give him the best review possible, but I also want to keep him all to myself .”

“Beth was wonderful! She came twice a day to feed/water/scoop for our two kitties while we were away. We received lots of updates and photos. The cats loved her and we were very happy with her care.”

“Debbie took phenomenal care of our dog. Her updates gave us so much peace of mind, and we’d absolutely book with her again.”

About: growing up with a family dog, i’ve always looked forward to our long walks. since i've moved to care for my grandma & i can’t have a pet at my current home, i’m looking to be the dedicated adventure buddy your pup deserves! i’m an avid walker who cleans up after your pet & loves exploring local parks and trails, and i’m just as comfortable handling a brisk, high-energy trek as i am a slow, 'sniff-heavy' stroll for seniors or four legged friends who love getting distracted! HOT WEATHER: for dog-friendly clients, i am able to provide outings to low stress trips to uncrowded, pet-friendly stores/facilities for stimulation and enrichment (including a potty break outside before and after, of course!) i am also happy to walk earlier/later in the day to avoid the heat as well! i also enjoy keeping pets company in home, whether its playing with toys, using lick mats, or just spending some time together! because i work evening and overnight shifts, i have guaranteed availability every morning and midday for your dog’s routine. whether you need a recurring daily walker or a same-day visit because you’re running late, i'm local and ready to jump in! my current job is closing in a few months, so i’ll be even more available for your schedule soon :) in public, i use a short-leash grip, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings without distractions like phones/technology of any kind (aside from photos, of course!), and avoid unknown dogs to keep your pup protected. i pride myself on being a trustworthy, punctual communicator, providing frequent photo updates so you’re always in the loop. i am very confident in my ability to kennel/leash pets & i consider myself well-versed in administering medication. i am keen when reading animal stress signals, ensuring your pet feels safe and understood under my care! as of early may, i am taking dog training certification courses to better my understanding and confidence in dog training :)

“Our Kitties love Gay!! We had to go out of town on a family emergency and Gay was there for us. She is fabulous and really takes care of your fur babies so well.”

About: I have been a nurse for 30 years but worked for veterinarians and in a shelter setting prior to that. I have had pets all my life and have experience fostering dogs. I currently have dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, goats, and a pig. I have a lot of flexibility and can make most situations fit my schedule. I have my own vehicle and look forward to making your pet feel as comfortable as possible. I am happy to play with your dog or cat, provide exercise, food, and medication if needed. I can do multiple drop ins a day. I truly love animals and will try to connect with your pets so they feel safe with me.

“Wonderful as always to our furkids. Great communication, and I love the photo updates! Thank you once again Shay!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have a cat of my own right now but before that I had 3 dogs! Had a pitbull-lab mix, a Shih Tzu, and a lab. Right now I dog sitting for some friends and family as well as friends of friends. It’s one of my favorite things to do I love hanging out with animals! I work from 2-6 everyday nannying with classes on Tuesday mornings and Wednesday mid-day. But other than that dog sitting is basically a full time job. I have a cat already and have had dogs the other part of my life so I’m no stranger to animals. I have also gone to pet training classes for my friends dog with her and taught the dog, Luca, many tricks and commands that he uses to this day.

About: My whole life I’ve been obsessed with animals. I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, etc. I am a proud contributor to an animal foster and rehabilitation group. I also worked in a dog and cat boarding and daycare facility. I am used to having to take care of my foster dogs on a full time level, while also balancing other responsibilities. Additionally, I have experience distributing medications, taking care of special needs animals, animals with special food and dietary needs, etc. I am currently working part time and do online schooling! I have no issue going from work straight to your pets! I have a pretty flexible schedule and will do my best to accommodate to you and your pets needs! I treat your home and pets like I would my own. I believe playtime, walks, and cuddles are top priority in keeping your pets happy while you’re away! I also believe in leaving your home in great condition! This ensures when you get home you have more time with your animals.

“Joel is awesome. Super nice guy, good communicator, easy to work with & has taken great care of our pup. Gives solid updates at the end of each visit. He goes above and beyond while dropping in at your house. For example - our dog got into our garbage before one visit & Joel cleaned up all the trash off the floor. We appreciate the care he takes in looking after our pup as well as our home. Definitely recommend!”

About: Hi, I'm Anthony. I've had fur babies all my life. Growing up on a farm I've learned the hard work and responsibility of taking care of animals. I've sitted and walked for many friends and family's Fur baby's.. No dog to small or big¡¡ I currently work a full time job and I am off on the weekend. I will also make time to care for your Fur baby¡¡ I have a fenced yard and lots of parks near by, love to walk and wouldn't mind bringing your loved ones along with me.

About: I have over two decades of experience as a pet sitter for clients and friends. Dogs staying with me can expect lots of attention, love and walks. As a devoted companion to your companion you can expect responsive communication, care the way you request it and flexibility in scheduling. I am happy to work with pets who have quirks or special needs and am experienced in giving medication, including insulin. I am available 24/7 and will let you know in advance if there is a scheduling conflict, as far as days or time of day; I can be flexible if your schedule varies or if you extend or shorten your time away. Your pet is my priority. We will take frequent walks and spend the day together; happy to reinforce training, work on socialization, whatever is helpful for you. Care is centered around the needs of each pet, keeping to your pet's routine. My home is a ranch home (one level) with a large yard, nestled in a quiet area free of traffic and perfect for long or short walks. My house is clean and safe and I am set up and happy to do baths, shampoo and conditioner with a blow dry. Care is centered around your pet's routine. Dogs staying here leave happy and perhaps a bit spoiled.

“Jessica is fabulous! Very accommodating- will go the extra for you in All capacities ! She watched my Belgian Malinois who had surgery and was struggling. It didn’t phase her at all. It is clear she loves dogs and was always asking what more she could do!”
