Cat Sitting in Stilesboro

About: Animals have been a constant part of my life — I grew up with both dogs and cats, and I’ve continued caring for them throughout my adult life. Because of that, I understand the little things that make each pet unique: the routines they rely on, the quirks that make them who they are, and the kind of attention that helps them feel safe and loved. When I’m walking your dog or stopping in for a visit, I bring that same lifelong experience and patience. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies who need structure to senior pets who move at a slower pace. I’m also attentive to shy or anxious pets and take the time to earn their trust. What sets me apart is how personally I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet. I treat your animals the way I treat my own — with consistency, kindness, and genuine care. My goal is simple: when you’re away, your pet still feels at home. As an educator and high school football coach, I’m used to balancing responsibilities, managing time well, and showing up consistently for the people who depend on me. That same reliability carries over into the way I care for pets. With summer approaching, my schedule becomes even more flexible, giving me plenty of time for regular walks, drop‑in visits, and consistent routines for your pets. Even during the school year, my afternoons, evenings, and weekends are open, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care naturally into my week. Because I’ve always had dogs and cats of my own — both growing up and now in my adult life — caring for animals is already part of my daily rhythm. Whether it’s early‑morning walks, midday check‑ins, or evening visits, I’m able to give each pet the attention, structure, and comfort they’re used to. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress‑free as possible. I know how much comfort pets get from being in their own space, so I make sure everything I do matches the rhythm they’re used to. I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, and any little quirks that matter to your dog or cat. I take the time to learn their personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and slow to warm up, or somewhere in between. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and structure so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Because I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, both growing up and now as an adult, I’m comfortable handling all kinds of needs: puppy energy, senior care, anxious pets, or those who just want someone to sit nearby and keep them company. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Meaghan is always reliable and sends notes and pictures every visit that put my mind at ease while I’m away. She takes time to play with the kitties which is nice too because they get bored. She’s the best!”

About: [ Pet-sitting taken seriously for your peace of mind! ] Growing up in a household full of creatures, I’ve taken care of dogs, kitties, birds, bunnies, and a pig! I have a deep love for animals and bugs. Most recently I’ve helped handle and raise puppies!! While I understand how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pets at home while you’re away, pet-sitters like me are here to monitor your pets and provide them the detailed care they deserve in the meantime. Your pets deserve the patience, attention to detail, and unconditional love I'm looking to help provide. I promise to take special care of your sweet furry family members! ♡ My schedule is open! Rover is my priority at this time. There is plenty of room in my schedule so I can take special care of your fur babies! Every morning I make sure my pets have fresh water, and then we get the zoomies out with some exercise! All of the animals in my house eat at specified times, some twice a day. I am sensitive to their needs and do notice as their behavior shifts day-to-day.

“Bailey did a great job with my cats! I highly recommend Bailey and River.com”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for animals. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand daily routines, responsibility, and the attention pets need to feel happy and secure. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for my own two dogs every day. I’m used to building my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and consistent attention. Adding pet sitting or visits easily fits into my weekly routine, and I enjoy making time for animals whenever needed. I care for pets by making sure their basic needs are fully met and they feel comfortable and relaxed. During drop-ins, I feed them, refresh their water, clean up if needed, and spend time giving them attention and companionship. For walks, I make sure they get safe, enjoyable exercise suited to their energy level. I always aim to keep pets calm, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I am a true animal lover through and through. I’ve had dogs growing up most of my life, and took on the responsibility of caring for my own dog for the last 10 years! Through this, I know the ends and outs of caring for both young puppies to older, more seasoned pets. Aside from my own dog, I have taken care of family friend’s pets since I was 15! From dropping in to feed and/walk their pets, to staying overnight for days at a time, they’ve trusted me thoroughly to provide the best care and love to their pets as well. I currently work a fully-remote full time job M-F, so my schedule and availability to work from any place allows me incredible flexibility. On the weekends, I am completely free and available to watch, play, walk, and snuggle your pets to their hearts desire! Within clients homes with fences, I love running around/ playing fetch with pets to keep them active and happy! For those with more calm/ senior pets, I love to give them all the attention in the comfort of their house/environment. For all pets, I also take into consideration the space and time some pets need to become more comfortable with a stranger. As they warm up, I will continue to give them the proper space to become more familiar and work within their boundaries.

About: I’ve taken care of 6+ litters of puppies, the largest being 10 pups! I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes from bearded dragons to Great Danes! I currently work part time so i have plenty of time to play with your pets! I can house sit whenever I’m not booked, and quick visits will usually be around 8 am and 8 pm. Pet care is entirely up to the owners! If there are specific instructions to pet care let me know and I’ll do my best to cater to your pets needs. I can crate pets if preferred as well.

“Amanda did the most amazing job with our 2 cats! Due to the super cold weather over Christmas weekend, our water & heat went out, but she made sure our boys were warm & immediately notified us. She took great care of our boys and made sure they were both safe & happy while we were away. We’re so grateful and will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I’ve been watching my friends and my friends families animals for a few years now while they vacation or anything comes up. I’ve done the walking, the repetitive throws back and forth, and the quick check in during a storm just to make sure they haven’t chewed the house to pieces. I’m naturally an early bird so checking in earlier then my normal 6-3ish work schedule isn’t an issue and anytime after I’m usually free I have a fenced in run area for free running if they’d like. My porch is screened in so they can have the outside time without getting out.

About: I was a nanny for many years and not only took care of kids but also of their dogs , cats and house . I have a passion for animals and love spending my days with them . I’m a certified dog groomer and canine massage therapist . I am currently working a part time office job for an IT reseller company , but I am pretty flexible if I know a day or two ahead . I’m always on time and will treat every pet like it’s my own . I am a big runner and like to stay active so the more walks the better . I follow your rules and will make your pet happy

About: I’m very experienced in caring for animals having grown up around them since I was a kid. I regularly house sit for my friends cats and dogs so am comfortable around both. Im more than happy to take care of any size dog. Grew up with everything between Great Danes and Chihuahuas! I currently work full time so boarding through the week will be tough if you aren’t comfortable with your pets being by themselves through the work day. That being said, I’m very prompt in returning and, with no pets of my own, your pet will have all my attention. I am totally available on weekends for in house stays or keeping them at my apartment. For those looking for their pets to stay at my apartment, there is no yard but long sidewalks that I already walk daily. So incorporating your pets into that routine is easy. I have a locked closet to seal away any food or goodies you may send and am careful never to leave anything that could be potentially hazardous. Lots of play will be on the menu and maybe some Netflix.

“She is very personable. Was on time and took good care of my Yoki. Sent me pictures of her every time she took care of her. In the future, I would definitely book her.”

About: I have grown up around dogs and cats all my life. I love all furry friends and have always felt an extreme love for all sorta of animals. I have always been the first to volunteer to babysit any friend’s or neighbor’s dogs and have near professional experience with caring for them. I also volunteer at the Macon Animal Shelter weekly. I am very punctual and detail oriented. I know how much pets mean to people and will treat yours like it’s my own! I am currently at Mercer University on my last year. As a senior, I have a lot of free time during the week and weekend. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I am free from 9am -5pm. I am also available for home-sitting overnight, however might need a few hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays for class. I have no pets at my house in Macon (since I am in school) but I do have 2 dogs and 4 cats back home. I have a pretty big backyard and my dogs love to be out and about. They stick to a pretty consistent food diet. I am great at following directions and am quick at learning the habits of pets. I would love to have the opportunity to get to know you and your pets!

“Ashley was amazing. She went above and beyond. The first day she watched our dog he had a little bit of anxiety and she took her time and made him feel safe and loved. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone and Ashley made US and Declan feel so much less stressed. I would book her again and recommend her to anyone.”

About: Leaving your babies is the hardest thing to do and I wanna put you at ease knowing I actually care about them. I will provide them the type of care you would treat them with yourself. All fur babies are important! I have had all types of pets growing up from geckos & hamsters to your normal dogs & cats. I currently have a 9 year old Yorkie-Poo (MayMay) and two cats that are a year old. They are my children as I don’t have any human babies yet! :) Most friends and family say I’m too protective and spoil my animals, but of course I do!!! How else should you treat them?! (August - May): I am a full time middle school teacher during the week, and work retail on the weekends preparing/saving for my upcoming wedding. MON-FRI: work 7:30 - 3:45 & can service your pets after 3:45 PM. SAT-SUN: work 10 - 6 & can service your pets after 6 PM. (Willing to take off work if you contact in advance & a little up charge) (June - Late July): I am free almost all day everyday for services unless I am scheduled to work my part-time retail job. Schedule varies. I’d treat them like my own, but even better since I’d expect the same for my babies being cared for by someone else on this service.

About: I have a wealth of experience working with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small mammals. I have encountered various breeds, temperaments, and specific care requirements, which has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of their needs. I believe in tailoring my care to meet the individual needs of each pet. I take the time to get to know the animals in my care, understanding their personalities, preferences, and any specific instructions provided by their owners. This personalized approach ensures that each pet feels comfortable, loved, and well-cared for during my time with them. I am meticulous and detail-oriented in my care. I pay close attention to every aspect of a pet's well-being, including their physical health, emotional state, and overall comfort. I am diligent in maintaining their routines, administering medications accurately, and providing the necessary exercise and mental stimulation for their specific breed and age. I recently had my dog Gracie pass away who was 10 years old and she would want me to love others dogs I am taking care of like I loved her. I understand the importance of trust between pet owners and sitters. I am committed to being dependable and reliable in my services. Perhaps most importantly, my passion for animals is what truly sets me apart. It is not just a job for me, but a genuine love and dedication to the well-being of pets. I understand that pets may need care at various times of the day or week, so I maintain flexibility in my schedule to accommodate their needs. This includes early mornings, evenings, weekends, and even holidays. I aim to ensure that pets receive continuous care and attention without disrupting their routines. I allocate specific times each day for feeding pets and ensuring they have access to fresh water. I follow their feeding schedules as instructed by their owners to maintain consistency. Communication with pet owners is essential, especially when caring for their pets in their absence. I make it a point to provide regular updates to the owners, sharing photos, videos, and written reports on their pet's activities, behavior, and overall well-being. This allows owners to stay connected and reassured about their pet's care. If any pets require medication, I strictly adhere to the prescribed schedule and administer it as directed. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to maintain a sense of familiarity and routine for them. I follow their established feeding, exercise, and care routines as closely as possible. This helps reduce stress and anxiety, as they are in a comfortable and familiar environment. While caring for pets in their home, I maintain open and regular communication with the owners. I provide updates on their pet's activities, well-being, and any concerns that may arise. Clear and consistent communication helps pet owners stay informed and reassured while they are away. In my home, I ensure a secure and pet-friendly environment. I have designated areas or rooms where pets can relax, play, and sleep comfortably. I remove any potential hazards and provide a cozy bed, toys, and other amenities to make them feel at home.
