Cat Sitting Strafford

“Mackenzie went above and beyond. Our dog had just been neutered two days before, but she willingly accepted to check in on him while we were gone for the day. She always takes pictures and gives a detailed report which makes us feel at peace leaving him. Our dog really looks forward to seeing her too 😊”

“Katelyn is excellent and our kitties like her! (Even our male kitty who doesn’t like too many people 😄) Thank you for your attention to detail!”

About: I have grown up with every kind of animal and love them all! I have taken care of many peoples pets and will take great care of any pet I work part time so I’m always looking for things to do on my days off. I love being outside so I’d love to take your animal on however long of a walk they want I have a fenced yard and a very loving dog that is always ready to play. Most of the time that they are outside I’m out there with them playing.

About: I’ve actually been pet sitting for years and have volunteer experience with the ASPCA. I’ve cared for senior and special needs dogs. We love all pets though I’ve even pet sat lizards snakes and cats. My schedule is pretty flexible I work remotely as a contractor for a big company Monday through Friday. Although I’d prefer daytime bookings let me know what you’re needing My dogs eat chicken free food cause our pug is allergic. Mushu’s special care is we wipe his wrinkles & ears daily with a weekly bath. Buddy is a tank who can eat anything but he needs his paws trimmed once a month. Buddy deals with anxiety from being a sheepdog with no sheep so he has lots of toys and an occasional cbd treat.

“Morgan was very sweet and took great care of my cat. She took photos and videos for us, played with her, and cuddled with her. I deeply appreciate Morgan treating our baby just like her own. Highly recommend”

“She is very attentive to the boys and with their age it can be a lot. She definitely seems to go above and beyond when she takes care of them. We used her previously and would use her again”

About: I am a dependable and loving pet owner who treats every pet like family. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have always loved animals, growing up I've had cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, ferrets.. I’m open to loving all kinds. I currently spoil my three cats and my two dogs, I couldn’t imagine life without them and will care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for mine. I have personal experience caring for high-energy dogs, gentle seniors, and cats with very different temperaments. Each pet has their own personality and needs. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and consistency! I work weekdays in the morning/afternoon. I make my own schedule though so I can be flexible for potty breaks and pets needs. Available after 3pm weekdays and have full weekend availability. I have a fenced yard and two dogs and three cats. When away my dogs are allowed to roam but if your pet needs crated or their own space that is completely possible. I am very pet friendly and put my pets before anything, they will be well taken care of.

About: I have loved animals my whole life. I’ve taken care of friend’s, family’s and my own cats and dogs since I was a kid. I’m gentle and patient with all animals and have years of experience with many different cats and dogs. I work part time with a very flexible schedule and mostly from home so I have plenty of time for overnight stays or to check in on a pet multiple times a day! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting in others homes and I am very flexible when it comes to working around you and your pets schedules and your house rules.

“Breelyn is great! She’s always on time, is quick to communicate and sends multiple photos during her visit. We’ve used her for 3 years and our cat Fifi loves her.”

About: ~~ I naturally have a calm, peaceful presence, so I would be a great match for your anxious, senior, shy, low energy or more laid-back dogs or cats. ~~ What sets me apart is that I work remotely, which allows me to be present with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me the availability to respond to their needs, routines, and energy levels. I’ve had experience with animals for many years. I previously owned a black lab named Aurora, and I currently have an orange cat of my own. I also have regularly helped care for my mother’s two dogs — a Maltese Schnauzer and a Golden Retriever — and I’ve looked after my sister’s dog multiple times in the past as well. Animals tend to gravitate toward me because I pay close attention to their body language, boundaries, and personalities. I’m very mindful of their cues and comfort levels, which helps me understand what they need more or less from me. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’d be happy to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. If I’m housesitting, I’m practically readily available. I work a full-time remote job that would allow me to be present and handle the tasks needed to care for your pets. I would have time to see them in intervals multiple times a day with no problem and with plenty of time for play. But if I do drop in visits, I can do 2-3 drop in’s a day. 1st at 7:00-8:00a, 2nd at 11a-1:30p and 3rd at 4:30p-10p - depending on my work schedule and the daily demand. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the understanding that it is first and foremost your pet’s home and safe environment. I’m very respectful of both the home and the routines that your pet is used to. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I aim to maintain the same peaceful atmosphere your pet is used to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10 years old. This includes cats and dogs with special needs such as permanent injuries, animal aggression and seizures. Volunteered at animal shelters all of middle and high school. Very loving and kind with all animals. I work full time as an electrician, however my schedule is very flexible and I have all weekends off. I only work a regular 8 hour day and have plenty of time to spare after work for your beloved furry family member. I live in an apartment but fortunately it has its own dog park area, nearby parks, walking paths and hiking locations. I am very active and enjoy high energy dogs, but I also enjoy relaxing and giving plenty of ear scratches to dogs that like their lazy days.

About: I’ve spent five years in the world of animal welfare. From daycare to rescue, learning about canine behavior. Handling dogs that may have abnormal needs is not something I shy away from! I have a passion for making sure every dog in the world is shown the love and affection they deserve. I’m a mail carrier (ironic I know) so my schedule varies each week. I am on call most of the time but can usually work a full day and still have availability in the afternoon. I am happy to follow any routine your dog may need as well as provide any extra care I can during the time you are away. Every dog is different and thus I am adaptable to whatever you and your dog may need!

About: I’m a dedicated animal lover who relocated to Springfield, MO about a year ago, and I’m excited to continue caring for pets in my new community. I previously volunteered with the SPCA, where I gained hands-on experience working with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and positive—qualities that help both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident in my care. Whether your pet is high-energy and loves to play or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to meet their needs. I’m very active and enjoy engaging pets with activities like fetch, walks, and interactive play. Having grown up with multiple dogs and cats, I’m very familiar with daily care routines and animal behavior. I also have experience reinforcing basic commands such as sit, stay, wait, leash walking, roll over, and fetch. In addition, I’m comfortable with bathing and providing routine grooming care based on your pet’s specific needs and breed requirements. Building trust is extremely important to me. I use clear communication and patience to create a strong bond with every pet, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like they would with family. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I already lead an active, structured lifestyle. I make time each day for walks, outdoor activity, and maintaining a consistent schedule, which allows me to easily accommodate feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and check-ins. I’m flexible throughout the week and can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or extra attention for pets who need more companionship and activity. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them is something I look forward to rather than simply fitting into my schedule. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs, whether I’m in my home or caring for them in a client’s home. My goal is to keep their environment as comfortable, consistent, and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely—this includes feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific routines your pet is used to. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and affection. I make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, play, and rest based on their energy level and temperament. I’m attentive to behavior, comfort, and any changes so I can respond quickly if needed. No matter the setting, I focus on building trust, maintaining consistency, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’m an animal lover who truly enjoys spending time caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I have experience caring for dogs of my friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, and basic care routines. I’m patient, attentive to instructions, and take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs. I currently own a cat, so I understand the responsibility that comes with daily pet care, routines, and building trust with animals. I’m always happy to follow specific instructions and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I enjoy making time to give animals attention, play, and care. I’m reliable with schedules, flexible when possible, and committed to meeting each pet’s daily needs, including feeding, litter care, walks, and quality companionship. I currently work part-time but have the semester off with school, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and following instructions exactly as given. I’m respectful in clients homes and attentive to pets behavior and comfort. I also provide updates so owners feel confident and informed.
