Cat Sitting Sun City

“As a first time cat owner, we (my husband and I) were very unsettled about leaving her with a complete stranger. We needn't have worried. Kimberly was truly the "cat whisperer" for both my cat and us. Kimberly sent pictures communicated with us every day. We really can't thank her enough. She even trimmed Lollipop's nails!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, and over the years, I've gained hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. My experience goes beyond everyday pet care. I've attended obedience training classes with several of my own dogs and worked closely with a professional dog trainer to better understand canine behavior, body language, and the individual needs of each animal. This has helped me develop a patient, attentive approach to caring for dogs with different personalities, including those who may need extra time, reassurance, or structure to feel comfortable. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special medical needs. My experience includes administering oral medications, assisting with post-surgery recovery, caring for rescue puppies, and helping dogs work through separation anxiety. I also have experience providing overnight care for cats, including feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and helping a rescued kitten adjust to a new home. At home, I'm a proud pet parent to Nala, my 11-year-old Greyhound/Shepherd mix, and Koda, my 5-month-old Chiweenie! We also share our home with my roommates' two senior dogs, giving me daily experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. Living in a multi-dog household has taught me the importance of recognizing each dog's individual needs, understanding their body language, and maintaining a safe, comfortable environment where every dog feels loved and secure. I'm a firm believer that every pet deserves more than just the basics. Whether it's reinforcing their favorite tricks, enjoying a walk, engaging in playtime, or providing extra affection, I make an effort to connect with each animal and understand what makes them happy. I also know how important routine and consistency are to a pet's well-being. When caring for someone else's furry family member, one of my first priorities is learning their established schedule, habits, and preferences so I can provide a familiar, comfortable experience while their owner is away. I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I'm an early bird, usually starting my day around 5 a.m., and I currently work part-time three days a week with a fairly flexible schedule. This allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week and accommodate a variety of schedules. Caring for my own dogs is already an important part of my daily routine, so incorporating walks and drop-in visits for your furry family members is something I genuinely look forward to! I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and I'll do my best to accommodate their established feeding, walking, and bathroom schedules. Whether your pet needs an early morning potty break, a midday walk, or some extra attention and companionship while you're away, I'm happy to discuss a schedule that works for you and your pet's needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that feels familiar and reassuring. Before caring for your pet, I'll make sure I understand their feeding and bathroom schedules, medical needs, behavioral tendencies, and any household rules or special instructions. I believe maintaining consistency is especially important when their favorite humans are away, and I'll do my best to keep their daily routine as normal as possible. For pets who may be shy or anxious, I take a calm, patient, and confident approach. I never want an animal to feel pressured into interacting with me. Instead, I give them the space to observe, explore, and approach me when they're comfortable, allowing trust to develop naturally. I'm also comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. During walks and drop-in visits, I'll remain attentive to your pet's behavior, comfort, and surroundings to help ensure they have a safe and positive experience. And one of my favorite parts of pet sitting? Sending photo updates! I love capturing those little moments that let you see what your furry family member is up to while you're away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands.

“Dawn was the absolute best cat sitter for my 2 senior cats! She really went above and beyond to give my needy one all the attention, affection, and treats she craves and my skittish, finicky one all the space and creative feeding tactics he requires. She had major breakthroughs with my very nervous cat and he came out of hiding to a sitter for the first time! Dawn’s photos and detailed reports gave me the peace of mind that my kitties were okay and I could enjoy my trip! Dawn is awesome!”

About: I have always cared for animals including bunnies, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. I have a lot of experience and I always volunteer to care for the pets of friends and family. I currently only go to school a few days a week so I have plenty of free time to care for the animals in need. I have a fenced in yard as well as a lot of experience with dog walking as well as safety outside on walks and with unleashed dogs.

About: So i’ve dealt with dogs since I was kid. I pop in to take care of my parents dogs from time to time which is a tiny mutt and a husky. Currently I own a inu, but I do have experience with dealing with dogs of all sizes. I genuinely have a love for them. I am extremely patient and caring as well as careful. So i’m usually available most of the week to take care of dogs. I try to walk my own dog daily, and i make sure there is food and water. Generally daily walks and just basic care works for my dog, but I have taken care of other’s people’s dogs that did require more care or more attention. I’m generally a fast learner and very attentive to my dog’s needs and others.

About: I've owned dogs and cats my entire life and also guinea pigs, rats, mice, snakes, lizards, turtles, newts, fish, horses, and more. I always encouraged my children's love of animals and so we had 14 pets at one point. I've owned mostly small and medium size dogs but I am not afraid of large breeds, I find most them are absolute sweethearts. I love all animals and understand the stress both you and they go through when you are away and I want to give them all the love and support they need for you both to feel relaxed while you are away. Whether they stay with me or I stay at your house, I promised they will be well taken care of and loved.

“Our little one was so happy to have Ramey check in on her. Ramey was also so helpful and accommodating for our last minute weekend trip! She’s great :)”

About: What makes me stand out among other pet sitters is my deep affection towards animals, patience, and reliability. I have some experience working with my own pets, so I realize the importance of ensuring pets feel secure, comfortable, and loved while being left without the company of their owner. I am reliable, responsive to the needs of each individual pet and ready to walk dogs, play with them and keep them company. I realize that all pets have their unique character and routine, and I will try my best to ensure that your pets get the treatment they deserve. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I attend college three days a week for a few hours at a time, so I am available on the other days and can work around my class schedule. I can plan visits, dog walks, and playtime to fit your pet’s needs and routine. I am committed to being reliable, communicating with pet owners, and making sure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes because I am unable to host animals in my own home. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being by following the owner’s instructions, maintaining their normal routine, and making sure they have everything they need. I respect my clients’ homes, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention to pets during visits and walks. I also communicate with owners and provide updates so they can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.

About: I have over 30 years of experience with dogs and cats that were just born babies to fully grown and elderly. Growing up, my family would take in pets whos owners had past away. This included many different breeds, but also most of them were elderly that needed some extra love and care. I also had my own range of pets from fish to frogs to mice to geckos growing up and of course cats and dogs. I have 6 years as a desert tortoise biologist and love all kinds of pets. I recently started a part time job, so I am flexible and mostly at the house. I am able to board pets starting from 5pm to 8pm and can start daycare for most days at 7am. We have a yard with a fenced off runner and a separate grassy area for your pups to play in and do their business. We do have a cat, but we have a gate that can separate the upstairs from the downstairs. We have plenty of room for kennels or crates if your fur baby needs them.

About: So many dog walkers and sitters, how do you choose? I have been a dog trainer and handler for over 11 years. I am certified pet first aid and CPR. Through my hard work and attention to detail I've earned the trust of working with canine support teams, trainer Shawn Baxendale out of Los Angeles and two prominent rescues Wylder's and Lucky Puppy. I have your dogs well being at heart. I am highly responsible and reliable in caring for your family pet. If you like we can schedule a meet and greet so that you can get a feel for who I am and also see that your pet would be staying in a safe and clean environment. My purpose is safety, comfort and fun I work from home so I am available to play with your pups and provide any care that is needed for your beloved family pets. I have a fenced in yard with nice green grass and two pups to help me keep your doggies company. I have toys and balls to engage your pet so they get some exercise and if allowed I take them for walks. My main objective is always safety but I also make sure your pup feels comfortable and loved. I give your pet a home away from home experience. This is not a loud and crowded facility where your dogs will sit by the gate in anticipation of your return and or have to wait for a place to rest or some attention. I also do have crates available if needed.

“Daphne did a wonderful job. She took great care of our pets. Her communication was excellent, including sending regular photos. I never had to wonder what was going on, or if she had seen a message. She always replied very promptly. She left the house in perfect condition. She was great to deal with in every way. I would definitely use her again and recommend her highly.”

“Bianca was incredible. My dog Cole loved her. Would definitely recommend her.”

About: I have experience working with puppies and many breeds. I will reinforce desirable behaviors through positive reinforcement. I have experience giving medication. I can take your pet to the vet for you. I have many years of experience working with animals at a veterinary hospital and animal shelter/rescue. I am available short or long term. I am available week days and weekends. Caring for pets is my vocation. I don’t have any schedule restrictions I have outdoor and indoor space according to your pet’s preferences. While outdoors, your pet will be supervised in an enclosed yard. I provide opportunity for water loving dogs to play in the pet pool. I provide “nose work” for those dogs that need mental activities.

“Marilyn did such a great job caring for our 3 cats while we had to attend a family funeral :( It was our first time using a pet sitter, but it was such a great experience! We looked forward to our daily check ins and we will definitely be using Marilyn again for any future trips! Thank you!”

“Thank you for taking such great care of my dogs and making them feel comfortable. One of them can be very anxious, and I truly appreciate the patience and kindness you show them. It gives me peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands when you stop by.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the patience and genuine care I have for every animal I meet. I’m gentle with pets of all ages, personalities, and abilities, and I’m never afraid to get down on the floor and take the time to earn their trust, especially with shy, nervous, senior, or special-needs pets. I’ve rescued and cared for animals in some pretty challenging situations, including dogs on the streets experiencing severe heat stroke and emergencies during Southeast Missouri’s extreme weather. I’ve also fostered kittens who were sick and needed extra care, patience, and nurturing before they were healthy enough to be adopted. I’ve always had a dog since the day I was born. I started raising my own dogs since I was about 9 years old, and I’ve been involved in house training, crate training, maintaining daily routines, and administering medications according to their prescribed instructions and labels. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure pets stay on their normal schedules while their owners are away. I’m also a clean freak, and I believe taking care of your home is part of taking care of your pets. I’ve personally experienced coming home to dirty litter boxes, pet vomit, stains, and messes that weren’t cleaned up after previous sitters. That’s something I never want a pet owner to experience. If your pet makes a mess, I clean it up. I’ll keep litter boxes maintained, clean up accidents, vomit, tracked-in dirt, and other everyday pet messes, and leave your home the way I found it, or better. To me, pet sitting isn’t just about making sure a pet is fed and let outside. It’s about making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood while their person is away. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routines, quirks, and what makes them feel most at home. Animals deserve the world in the short time we get with them, and I want to make sure I give them that. I recently relocated back home to Temecula from my college town in Missouri and currently have a very flexible schedule while I look for a part-time job. I’m a stay-at-home fiancé and pet mom to two dogs and two cats, so I’m already home caring for pets every day! My pets are all spayed/neutered, up to date on their vaccines, and social. I’m currently available throughout the day, with my only regular commitment being about two hours at the gym. This gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets and work around their routines. My dogs wake me up at 6am on the dot to go potty and eat breakfast, and at 5pm they are ready for dinner. I value my pets’ routines because without them, I wouldn’t have a routine myself I have a fully fenced backyard where my inside dogs are able to safely go outside throughout the day. I pay close attention to their behavior and cues-if they’re telling me they need to go out, I let them lead me to the backyard rather than making them wait. I have a 35-lb female Terrier/Lab mix and an 80-lb female Silver Lab. Both spayed and up-to-date on their shots. My Silver Lab is a gentle giant who was especially popular with the “littles” at doggy daycare, often spending time with the 10–25 lb dogs. She was also raised around my grandma’s Yorkies, so she’s very comfortable around smaller dogs. Your pet will always be treated like the VIP! I’ll make sure your pet gets priority during playtime and attention, even if that means taking the ball away from my own dog so your pup gets a turn!🎾

About: Hello 👋🏻 My name is Kaylee and I’ve been a professional pet sitter for about 5 years now. Over the course of those 5 years I’ve cared for all of the following animals: dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, turtles, lizards, hamsters, rabbits and horses. I’m in college getting an animal science degree and I’ve worked with a wide age range of animals. From puppies all the way to senior dogs and kittens all the way to elderly cats. *please know that while my listed prices are accurate additional surcharges may apply. (All prices will be disclosed before booking) I have a lot of availability for pet care in my schedule, I do have college classes I must attend and the occasional appointment with these being non-negotiable blocks of time I must leave the clients home to attend (which will be discussed ahead of time). However aside from that I have a plethora of time available to dedicate solely to your pet(s). *jobs that are “constant care” and/or have strict rules regarding how long the pet(s) can be left alone MAY incur a surge charge. I haven’t had a pet escape or get lost on my watch yet, and I don’t plan to start now. My childhood dog escaped once as kid, and even thought he was quickly found, it made me realize the horror of potentially losing a pet. As a result, I take pet safety very seriously. I will not walk a dog without a leash. I always double and triple check that doors are closed/locked (when appropriate).
