Cat Sitting in The Willows

About: I have had 3 dogs and 3 hamsters in my life. I love playing, walking, and taking care of my dogs and making sure they get the best life possible! I have watched my dogs for days at a time while my parents were gone along with walking and feeding them. I have also helped neighbors with pet sitting and walking dogs when needed! I’m currently not employed anywhere because I want to gain more experience in fields I’m interested in. I’ve always wanted to work with animals and help in any way I can to make life better for all animals, no matter how big or small! I will make sure that I play with your pet if needed, I will feed your pet on the schedule you have set for them, and I will make sure they get walked at least every two hours unless you need a different schedule!

“Katie is absolutely amazing! We have been hiring her to watch our fur babies for a long while. There’s no one else I would trust with my dogs. She treats them with such care and is also very respectful of our home. Thank you for all that you do, Katie.”

“Maci was a fantastic sitter for our old cat! She was super responsive, sensitive to his special needs, very sweet with him, and communicated lots of detail to us while we were out of the country. She took care of our cat for 10 days. We were nervous about leaving him alone for so long, but Maci was very thoughtful and so responsible that our nerves were calmed and our trip was made so much more enjoyable as a result. I felt that our cat was in great hands with Maci’s connections to the vet clinic, but no issues came up. We will definitely hire Maci every time!”

“Sarah will be staying this weekend for dog sitting and I wanted her and him to get used to each other. He was a bit nervous but she stayed with him and tried her best to make him comfortable. They will be friends eventually!”

About: I’ve had rescue dogs all of my life and have been the go to sitter for friends and family for many years. I am patient, dependable, and flexible. I’ve had experience with all different dog breeds and a mix of personalities. My services include daily dog walks, drop-in visits, extended pet-sitting sessions, feeding, fresh water replenishment , medication administration (if needed), and plenty of playtime and affection. Whether your pet enjoys long, energetic walks, short potty breaks, or relaxed indoor companionship, I adjust each visit to match their individual needs and personality. I also offer photo updates, behavior notes, and communication throughout the day, so you always know how your pet is doing. I am available almost all of the time. I am a college student at Arizona State but my class schedule is very flexible. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d love to be part of your pet’s routine. I am excited to take care of your dogs! I am a full time college student with flexible hours and open weekends. I am available to pet sit and or dog walk in your own home! Safety is my number one priority. Caring for your pet means they are always secure and not in danger. I also prioritize comfort for your pet. I love playing and engaging with your pet to the degree they feel comfortable.

“Victoria was amazing with our cat! She was prompt and came at the same time everyday to feed and play with our girl. I got tons of videos/photos, along with very detailed notes about how she was and how the visits went. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and encourage you to reach out to her for your fur babies! Thank you so so much again for everything!”

About: I have taken care of a family's livestock which consisted of pigs, chickens, goats, sheep and cows. I took care of another family's animals, a cat, two dogs and a bunny on a regular basis staying in their home overnight before they moved due to military orders. I do work a 8-5 job should it suit your needs I will make space to tend to your fur babies needs. I am blessed to have the outdoor yard for dogs to dig and play. The San Diego Riding Hiking and Biking trail is adjacent to my home and offers a substantial walk. I am a adoring fan of the animal spirit and adjusted my life to fit them into my experience. I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies of my own to keep your fur babies company. The fenced in yard is completely dog friendly, plenty of shade, dog toys and I can easily crate your fur baby if necessary.

“Jennifer was awesome for meeting up with us to introduce her to our Woodson. She was attentive and listened to our requests. She was very knowledgeable and and arrived on time. Because of the meet and greet the day before, our Woodson felt very comfortable with her the next evening. She sent us a few pictures of our girl and an update. We will definitely book Jennifer again.”

“Tahniiyah was very communicative and responsive to the needs of my senior cat. It was clear that she wanted to ensure I had peace of mind while I was away from home.”

About: I've grown up with cats since I was 8 and began petsitting for people in my 1st couple years of college around 2015. I've done both dogsitting and catsitting for people and I love both animals equally! I have petsat for people with animals of all ages, with the youngest dog I have watched being about 8-10 months and the oldest being about 14 or 15. I love exploring new places and being outdoors especially since I live in one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. with the best weather! I find it equally enjoyable to see a dog smile and to see him/her bring joy to their owner and to people around them. I love to see how dogs can bring people together and get people to connect who would otherwise likely never talk to each other. I genuinely enjoy helping others and caring for pets really is its own kind of therapy! I will always clean up after pets even if its raining or if the dog wants to rush off and I have to step on the leash to keep him/her from taking off. I live by the golden rule and will do what I can to hold people accountable for pets that aren't being taken care of and/or cleaned up after. I'm currently working part time at San Diego Community College district as an Educational Coach with a students who are special needs or neurodivergent student population. I work about 17-19 hours a week for that job and am typically away from the home for 5 hours a day or less on Mon-Thurs depending on the day and number of students I'm meeting with. Some administrative tasks for my school job can be done remotely. I want to do more dog-walking and housesitting because it motivates me to stay active and foster connections with animals that my current living situation doesn't allow for. I also love hearing people's pet rescue stories and funny stories because each pet has its own personality and leaves pawprints on others hearts and lives! I love spending time with pets by throwing them their favorite toy and cuddling with them on the couch or bed. I also care for them by taking them for walks or finding the perfect new toy from an old volleyball, piece of rope, or other seemingly random objects that pets decide to take a liking to. Its interesting to see what they choose and of course there are limits there of things that should not be considered due to being hazardous due to being a choking hazard, but I'm all about finding new ways for them to have fun. I will feed them as often as you need and I have also given a dog its pills disguised in peanut butter or in its kibble a few times. If your animal is only allowed in parts of the house or yard I will keep the pens up and only allow it out as directed. I will provide them water as well as with treats or dental chews as preferred. I will take dogs out to use the bathroom as often as I am able, typically once every couple hours while I'm home and once every few hours if I'm going out. Feel free to reach out via text to clarify this, especially if your pet has specific needs or needs to be taken out more frequently to use the restroom.

“Stefanie was very helpful and did a great job taking care of my very fearful pup. She sent me multiple pictures during her visits. Would book with her again!”
