Cat Sitting Tijeras

About: Hey there! I’ve pet sat off and on for the last decade for family and friends. I even have experience working in an animal shelter. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I work full-time and live an active lifestyle. However, as a mama of two fur babies, I understand the importance of making time to properly care and look in on them through the day. I am happy to care for your fur babies right in the comfort of their own home. I believe it is important that their time apart from you be as stress free as possible.

About: Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and dependable pet lover. Since becoming an adult, I’ve been a devoted cat owner, and caring for my cat has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every pet has their own unique personality. After my husband and I started our family, we welcomed our own dog into our home. Caring for both a dog and a cat every day has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, cleaning up after pets, and recognizing different behaviors and needs. My husband is a retired U.S. Air Force veteran, and together we have built a stable, loving, and pet-friendly home. We understand that trusting someone else with your beloved pet is a big decision, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our goal is to provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where every pet feels loved and at home. I believe pets are family, and I will always follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Whether it’s feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, or administering medication when needed, I’ll make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Because I believe every pet deserves individualized attention, I only accept the number of pets that I can safely and responsibly care for. My priority is always providing quality care—not just supervision. I would be honored to care for your furry family member as if they were one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for your pet. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or boarding, I make sure every pet gets the time, exercise, and attention they need. I respond to messages promptly and will do my best to accommodate your preferred schedule whenever possible. My husband and I have a stable, pet-friendly home where pets are treated like family. We currently have one friendly dog and one cat, so I’m experienced in caring for animals with different personalities and routines. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any special care requests. I introduce pets thoughtfully, prioritize their comfort and safety, and provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: My name Christina, I have been around pets all my life. My daughter has been doing Rover for over 6 years and she absolutely loves it! So, I decided to sign up! When my daughter was moving back from Alabama to New Mexico, I took care of her cat and dog for about 3 weeks. I fed them, walked her dog and gave them plenty of love until she returned. I am fully vaccinated for Covid. My schedule fluctuates because I have a part time job and the hours vary. So, we can talk about the schedule prior to booking. I would love to take care of your fur babies because I would treat them like my grand babies like my daughters babies and give lots of loving and care while you are away. My daughters fur babies & their personalities: She cat and a dog. Tucker is the most laid back cat you will ever meet. You can literally carry him like a baby. He is great for introducing dogs that have never met cats before. **Please be mindful though, if your dog does not like cats. Please please please let me know that when you message me.* Yoshi is the only dog. Yoshi is a Shiba Inu who loves loves loves to play! I got Yoshi about 6 years ago.

“Max did an amazing job. He met me the day before to receive instructions and meet Whiskey and Willow. He was thoughtful and asked smart questions. For the stop-ins, he came at consistent times each day and sent photos. He was reliable and trustworthy and I’d hire him again”

About: I lost my sixteen-year-old fur baby in October, 2018 and find myself missing that special energy only pets can bring. I have been caring for various pets for my friends and family for about 20 years and have done drop ins and overnight visits. I do have a full-time 8-5:30, Monday-Friday (and many Saturdays) job however, and am not available to provide constant care for pets. I do have more than enough time to devote myself to the love and care of your fur baby. In my home, in my life, dogs and cats are family and deserve the same love, care, and respect that human beings deserve. Perhaps more. While I have more experience with dogs I haven’t met a cat I couldn’t win over. Rest assured that if you place the care of your beloved pets in my hands they will be well loved while you are out of town. Your home will be cared for as well. I do have a “regular” 8 am to 5 pm job. My evenings and nights are free. Weekends are also more flexible for me when it comes to spending quality time with your baby. I am not able to provide constant care. I live in an apartment complex so I am more than happy to visit your fur baby in their own environment. I want to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible so I’d prefer to maintain the schedule and comfort they’re used to.

“Jessica was amazing! Every visit she spent quite a bit of time with Archer and sent 1-2 pictures each day, sometimes showing him eating and sometimes showing him getting cuddles. They clearly got along well, and he seemed happy and healthy when we returned. Jessica is quick to respond to texts, and even checked in with us on the last day to make sure we'd get back on time and Archer would be okay.”

About: Animals are a large part of my life and I enjoy taking care of each one and their particular needs. I have a wide range of experience from livestock to feathered friends and love them all! I am comfortable administering medication, grooming, playing, and loving on indoor and outdoor animals of all ages. I am attentive to detail and will make sure your pets and home are taking care of to the highest degree. Please reach out with any questions and I look forward to giving you peace of mind while you are away. I'm currently on summer vacation, so I will have plenty of time to give your pets attention and love! I am available to drop in for a visit or stay at your home. If I am already booked for a house stay, no worries, I can still check in on your pets! I can send lots of photos and videos to give peace of mind. Your pets will receive the highest quality of care, and I am happy to follow any special instructions for each and every one. I guarantee a save environment and happy animals!

“Mira came to my home earlier in the week and did a walk through meet and greet. She was very pleasant to meet. On the day of pet care she kept me posted and sent some comforting photos of the love they received. She is trustworthy and reliable and highly recommended to care for your fur family”

“Great excellent person and great with the cats”

About: My love for animals started long ago, and cats have always held a special place in my heart. I genuinely relate to them — their quiet intelligence, their independence, their softness, their quirks. Honestly, I’ve always felt like I understand cats on a level that comes more naturally to me than most human interactions. Cats thrive when someone respects their boundaries, reads their subtle cues, and honors their routines. That’s exactly how I care for them. I pay attention to the details: the way they flick their tail when they’re curious, the slow blink that says they trust you, the little habits that make them feel safe and seen. When I care for your cat, they’re not just being looked after — they’re being understood. I create a calm, predictable environment where they can explore, nap, play, and feel completely at ease. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets cats — someone who sees your feline friend as a whole personality, not just a pet — I would love to care for your best friend. Dogs-Dogs love me because I meet them exactly where they are. I move slowly for the shy ones, celebrate the goofy ones, and give the anxious ones a calm place to breathe. I pay attention to their signals—the soft tail wag, the hopeful glance, the little lean that says “I trust you.” I speak their language with patience, consistency, and kindness. They know I’m safe. They know I listen. They know I care. And in return, they give me their whole hearts—one wag, one nuzzle, one happy trot at a time. I have a widely-varied flexible schedule and would have plenty of time to care for your cat or dog as needed. Pet care blends seamlessly into my daily and weekly rhythm because I already live a life built around consistency, calm energy, and being home throughout the day. Between running my home bakery and keeping a steady household routine, I’m present — really present — which means animals get attention, companionship, and structure instead of rushed check‑ins. Caring for a pet in their own home is all about honoring their comfort zone. I step into their space gently, keeping everything familiar — their routines, their favorite spots, their feeding schedule, and the little habits that make them feel secure. I move slowly, respectfully, and with the kind of calm energy animals naturally respond to. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication to preferred walking routes or playtime rituals. I pay attention to the details: how they greet me, how they settle, what makes them curious, and what helps them relax. I keep their environment tidy, their water fresh, and their day predictable. While I’m there, your pet gets companionship, structure, and genuine affection — not rushed check‑ins. I stay present, tuned in, and mindful of their emotional needs. Whether it’s a cat who prefers quiet company or a dog who thrives on routine and reassurance, I adapt to their personality and pace. Your home stays just as you left it, and your pet stays in the place where they feel safest. My goal is simple: to make sure your best friend feels understood, cared for, and completely at ease until you return.

About: I've been caring for all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles and Macaws. I've also volunteered at bird reacues and animal shelters in both New Mexico and Iowa. I have experience in animal training and Im currently an at home student at CNM so I have plenty of time to entertain and care for your pet. I enjoy making pet care a full time part of my life. I have a large fenced in back yard perfect for safe running and playing. It's got a nice spacious grass lawn with pet safe plants. The inside is pet safe and proof for your animals safety.

“I really love this girl! She showed up on time every day very attentive to my dogs. She was amazing. Spent time with him took him for a walk love on them. I would definitely hire her again.”
