Cat Sitting Sugar Ridge

“Madison was spectacular with my kitties! Madison provided daily summaries of their visit, as well as daily photos of the kitties. I even had some unexpected packages come in, and Madison brought them inside for me. Definitely recommend Madison for your pet sitting needs!”

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs in a professional daycare and boarding environment for the past 3 years, including leadership responsibilities. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, and I understand the importance of reading body language, maintaining safe environments, and providing individualized care. My background includes positive reinforcement training, supervising group play, supporting dogs with different behavioral needs, and keeping pups happy, comfortable, and engaged. I’m also a cat lover and have experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs. From playful, social kitties to more shy and independent cats, I understand the importance of patience, respecting boundaries, and allowing every cat to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I’ll treat your pets like my own and provide attentive, compassionate care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routines, keep their spaces clean, and provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for drop in visits and dog walking throughout the week! I require a meet and greet before booking so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s needs and routine, and make sure we’re a great fit. 😊 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities! With my professional dog daycare experience, I understand the importance of reading body language, recognizing stress signals, and providing attentive, individualized care. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s individual needs, provide updates and photos, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I also believe communication is key, so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands!

About: Hi! I'm currently a college student who's looking to have a decent side job while also dealing with missing her animals back home! I have eleven cats and four dogs back home, as well as three guinea pigs, a hermit crab and some exotic animals as well. My parents are the primary owners, but I am often the caretaker of all of our pets, especially when my parents are out of town! I have experience with senior dogs, young dogs, small, big, and medium sized dogs and dogs of varying temperament. I am used to the varying temperament of cats, too! Since we have exotic animals, I'm also used to a handful of different routines and dealing with different feeding preferences and rules. I have experience with watching some pets of my family members as well, so it's not just limited to my immediate family! I'm currently a student full time at BGSU, but my classes generally get done around 12:20PM on Mon/Wed/Fri, around 2:30PM on Tuesdays, and around 10:30AM on Thursdays! I'm more than willing to stop by after my classes to check up on your pets, and I'm generally up around 6:30AM so there's no issue in morning routines. In my home, things are ran a bit different since we have so many different animals. My main focus at home is usually keeping the dogs out for periods of time, watching them and playing with them if they're willing to play along! Whatever your usual routine is at home is what I'll be willing to adjust to, since the comfort of your pet is my priority!

About: I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, farm animals, and horses. I have 10+ years of horse experience training OTTB’s as well as 2+ years of reptile husbandry training working in BGSU’s herpetology lab. I have experience caring for special needs pets and have worked as a vet assistant which includes administering medication, monitoring patients, and responding quickly in emergency situations! As a student at BGSU, I live in an apartment and do not have pets currently. However, at home I have 2 dogs (one of which is special needs) as well as a cat and horses. I have always grown up treating pets as a part of the family. They have always come along on vacations when possible, been involved in family events, and given the absolute best care. I fully intend to carry this viewpoint into my client’s homes as well.

About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was a kid. I have tended to a total of six beloved family dogs from around age 7 to 19 when I moved. Some of my regular care for them included providing fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, going outside, playing, and brushing their coats. I have also administered some medication such as vet prescribed pills, sprays, or ear drops when needed. I helped to train them on basic commands and leash training. I am used to recognizing dog body language, following care instructions tailored to each pet, and sticking to a schedule. Since I am currently in-between jobs, my schedule is very flexible. I am most often available to provide pet care anytime on any day! I can also work for extended periods of time. Typically, my care for pets includes providing fresh food and water, playing, pets, and regular potty breaks. However, different pets have different needs and I am able to provide the care that suits your unique pet!

“Toby communicated with me throughout the visit, with this being her first time without me being home. Everything went well. It appeared Kahlo had fun and got some exercise, while I attended a long class. Rover worked very well and Toby was great to work with. ❤️”

About: Hi! Farm girl raised around various types of animals. Genuine love for all animals & offering pet care on my off days. I'm reliable, punctual, sincere, and honest. I'm currently working FT, & am looking to help care for your pets on my off days. I'm available Wed & Th evenings, as well as all day Sat & Sun. I am willing to learn your routines & mimic my services to match your needs. I am an active person, so short or long walks/runs are welcomed. Willing to feed, walk, play, brush, bathe, remove pet waste, & am open to any other services you may need.

About: I had pets my whole life growing up (cats and dogs at the same time), currently haven’t a cat, and watch my families pets when they are out of town. I am reliable and can handle any situation that comes up. I work full time but I am able to work from home half the week so this allows me to be flexible with my pet sitting. I have a huge fenced in back yard, I treat every animal like my own as well. Additionally, I always respect other people’s homes.

“Amber was fantastic! She took great care of my 2 cats and gave them so much love while I was away. I highly recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, i’ve even lived on a farm! I enjoy the company animals give me and how I can understand their love and appreciation without words. I have been around pets from dogs and cats, to turtles and ferrets. I have always been able to bond well with plenty of animals and it makes me happy knowing I can take care of them. I am a full-time college student at UToledo, majoring in Psychology! Although I am taking 5 classes, I still have many gaps in my schedule, and I would love to be able to use my time to play with animals! At the moment, I do not have my own animal, as my previous one passed away. I'd love to make my day a bit brighter and more exciting by watching your sweet animals! Unfortunately, I will not be able to pet-sit or care for any animals in my own home due to living in an apartment, having no fenced-in yard, and not having much space for pets to roam around. I am able, though, to go to anyone’s home to watch their pet and take it from there. I love being outside, so walks are definitely a must for animals that need lots of walking (or any cats/other animals who love to go outside). I will take pictures to send to the animal's owners, record medical information, clean up after the pets/bathroom area, and take on any other needed requests. I will ask questions and get to know what I can/can’t do with the pets before I try to do anything! I am very flexible, and I am here to help you and make your life easier!

“Natalie was great about letting me know the daily status of our 3 cats. She was able to send me pictures of 2 of the cats but not my skittish girl. I know she tried but she can be very elusive. All the cats are rescues and each have their own personalities but she was still able to assure us while we were gone”

About: I have had dogs as a family pet since 2008. Currently have 2 dogs who are very loved and spoiled to death 😊 I started off dog sitting for a family member in 2019 with a senior dog, and then a puppy a couple years later. I have also house/pet sit for a family friend for the past few years as well. They have 4 dogs (ranging from 15 lbs to 100+ lbs) and 3 cats. I have a good rapport with both groups and can provide references if needed! I also have experience with sitting a 1 cat household as well for one of my friends. In my household, my sisters and I have potty-trained and skill-trained every one of our family pets (we have had 4 now). I have experience with giving pets medications as they need following the owner’s specific instructions. Lastly, I have walked dogs of all kinds of sizes (miniature pinscher all the way to a Great Pyrenees). I look forward to helping you with your pet needs!! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday from 10am-7pm. I work at a pretty lenient place that gives me lunch breaks up to an hour and a half long, so in the past if a pet I have watched needs a potty break midday, I can go back on my lunch break to do so. I have availability after getting off from this job as well, so I can accommodate to late nights as well. I don’t work weekends there so I have pretty much open availability every weekend. 😊 I currently live at home with my parents and sisters, so I do not offer pet sitting at my home at this time. I have pet sat for people in different home styles (apartment, single-level home with small yard, two-story home with big yard). I have always followed every owner’s instructions and rules to a T. Every owner has loved my care with their pets and continues to put their trust in me to this day. I have several references that I can provide if needed!

About: I have walked family member’s dogs since I was a kid and have owned dogs since I was in my 20s. I have experience with all types of dogs! I work in Maumee during the week until 5:00 so available after that to check in on your pets and/ or walk your dog! I have 2 dogs named Lilly and Koda and a cat named Puff! I have experience with many types of dogs and cats. I would love to stop into your home to check on any of your fur babies!

About: Growing up I’ve owned a variety of dog breeds & currently own three cats, a tarantula, millipedes, & a few other “creepy crawlies”. I have had friends, family, and even neighbors repeatedly entrust me with their furry family members. I am also open to caring for exotic pets (lizards, geckos, snakes, tarantulas, millipedes, scorpions, & more!) If you have any questions feel free to ask! I’m currently working part-time, attending school online, & teach yoga on Sunday’s so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to you & your pets needs! Communication is super important to me so you, your pet, & myself all have a positive experience. Please don’t spare any details about what your family needs!
