Cat Sitting Townsend

“Donna was very good with my cats as far as I can tell. She kept me updated on how my cats were doing, which can be hard since they are both shy and don’t usually come out for people.”

About: Hi! I’m Melinda, a lifelong animal lover who knows how much our pups mean to us. 🐶💜 I’m dependable, patient, and love getting to know every dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a potty break, playtime, a drop-in visit, or some extra cuddles while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way. 🐾✨ I’m available for pet care on weekdays after 5:30 PM and have full availability on weekends. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and loving companionship around your schedule. I provide pet care exclusively in your home, where your pets are most comfortable and can stay in their familiar surroundings. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your home and pets with respect, patience, and care.

About: I have 28 years of experience taking care of pets and many more taking care of my own family pets. My first job at 13 was at a kennel. I can administer all types of medications, I've had sick and elderly pets that needed shots, fluids and pills. I also was a wildlife rehabilitator and have experience with bottle feeding and wound care. I am skilled with senior pets, exotics and livestock. I live in Lunenburg MA with my husband surrounded by a variety of different pets from dogs and cats to reptiles to parrots to livestock. I am comfortable around any size pet and with aggressive moody pets. I'm currently working full time Monday -Friday but am available weekends all day and mornings/ afternoons during the week for drop ins. I cannot do overnight stays or boarding. I will do whatever to mimic how you care for your own pets in your home. Any schedule or routine you do I will follow. I will allow dogs outside at your own home off leash, but if you would like walks/ hiking off your property dogs must be leashed for their safety.

“We have a somewhat complicated schedule and feeding process right now with the girls, and Sam managed it smoothly. We would have her come again.”

About: I have grown up in a house with multiple dogs and cats, so I am extremely comfortable working with pets as being with them is all I have ever known. I participate in the Dog for a Day program at ACCT Philly, so I have experience in taking shelter dogs out for the day. I love taking my own dog on different adventures. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I have experience caring for timid rescues, energetic dogs, and dogs that have special needs such as medicine. I have experience caring for dogs both overnight and during the day. I am offering in home check ins/overnights, house sitting, and walking services. I can’t wait to get to know your furry friends! I am a college student home for the summer. My dog and I live a very active life in the summer, as we go on many adventures to different lakes and hiking spots. I have done this with other dogs I have cared for and would love to do so with yours! I am used to doing some athletic activity with my dog at least once a day. As I have grown up with animals, I am familiar with body language and how to keep a house pet-safe. I am open to specific needs for your pet such as medicine, particular food, allergies, crate training, etc. Your pet will be cared for the same way I care for my own!

“Elizabeth was wonderful, kind, reliable, and very responsive. She was available on short notice, which was a huge help for us. She took great care of not only our cat, Nuggets, but also our 4 chickens! We felt completely at ease knowing our babies were in such good hands. We were so happy with her care that we have already hired her again for our next vacation. Highly recommend!”

“Philip did a wonderful job taking care of my senior cat while I was away. He was always communicative, keeping me updated and making me feel confident that she was in good hands. He made sure she was fed on schedule and that all of her food, water, and litter were kept clean. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her well-being, and I truly appreciated the attention and kindness he showed. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a young kid. I also volunteer with my local animal shelter and make sure the dogs there are getting outside and their spaces are clean. It’s always been a passion of mine to take care of animals and I’m especially patient with animals that may have behavioral problems due to my shelter experience. I work full time as of right now and I’m attending school. For the moment I can only do weekend boarding for dogs because I want to make sure your animal can get the attention it deserves. I have one cat who tends to mind his business and snooze in hidden spaces. Unless the parents have a schedule that needs to be followed for their fur baby they are allowed to roam around the apartment and use the furniture as much as they’d like. As for animals in the clients home I will surely make sure they’re entertained and exercised; however, the specifics of pet care will ultimately be determined by the customer as I know no one dog can be cared for the same.

“Rachael saved the day when a family emergency came up. I knew my kitties would be in good hands. Even my super shy kitty was charmed from the first moment. I was so surprised. Thank you Rachael!”

About: Vacation with peace of mind knowing your beloved canine family member will be safe and happy; and perhaps, a bit overly loved. There’s always lots of play and pamper time and all walks are free! I’ll gladly keep in direct contact with you providing pictures and videos throughout each. I will lay with your fur babies, play outside, go on walks/adventures, relax and watch movies. I love all animals and believe they deserve to have a good time even when their owner cannot be home. I have always been an animal lover, i never felt like watching them was work, just fun. I respect the owner's wishes for anything they need me to do in order to give their animal the best experience while I am watching them. I am always home since I’m a full time grooming student @ Animal Behavior College. My long term goal is to open up a pet and spa resort one day! 🐾 I believe that daily exercise, games, mental challenges and proper socialization is necessary for your pup to live a long and happy life! We think it’s so important that we do it for our pup and of course yours while you are away. I have a fenced in back area and 2 fur babies myself to keep your pup company. We have extra crated if needed and loads of toys to keep them happy! If alone time is their thing, they are always allowed to cuddle with us on our furniture! If a drop- in, I am very good at following concise instructions to insure happy and safe animals while you’re away! I am always home as I’m a mom of three. Your pet will get lots of one on one attention from me. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I have a fenced yard outside area and lots of toys. Also, I have a pool for my fur friends to play and cool off in during the summer! Your fur baby will feel at home and will receive lots of love and cuddles.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles since I was 14. There’s no greater joy for me then being able to provide a happy, reliable, and safe experience for others furry friends. As an owner of four cats I know how our little friends make such a large impact on our everyday lives and the worries that come from wanting the best care for them. I’m especially passionate in elderly, and pets with disabilities pet care and understand their types of needs like medication schedules. It’s be a dream being able to help care for them. I also love to send lots of photos to the furry friends family to let them know their routine is being followed. I am self employed as a party princess entertainer and my schedule is very flexible. I am an active person who enjoys hiking, long car rides, as well as reading in my down time. I’m looking to be more active in my community since my partner recently began working from home and can provide our own pets more quality time. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When house sitting or walking, I care for every pet in their own environment and follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding and walking routine, medications or special needs, favorite activities, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of. During walks, I focus on safe handling, staying aware of our surroundings, and making sure your pet gets appropriate exercise and enrichment. During house sitting and walks, I prioritize safe handling, secure doors and gates, cleanliness, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs. I’ll also keep you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“Erinn was amazing. She was always helpful as my cat was recovering from spinal surgery and required more than just feeding. Her experience as a vet tech was invaluable. She never missed a beat and my cats both love her. I cannot recommend her enough !!!”

About: Hi, I’m Jay! If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets as much as you do, you’ve come to the right place. Animals have been my biggest passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, snakes, and everything in between, and I truly believe every pet deserves personalized care, lots of love, and plenty of attention. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a cuddle buddy, playtime, meals, medication, a bath, or just someone patient and dependable while you’re away, I’m here to help! Long haired pups or kitties that hate being brushed? No problemo! I’m happy to tackle the fluff so you don’t have to. 😊 One thing that sets me apart is that I’m constantly learning. I love researching animal behavior, enrichment, nutrition, and the best ways to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours feel safe and comfortable. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your best friend with someone else, so I’ll care for your baby like they’re my own. You can expect plenty of updates, adorable photos, and the peace of mind that your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is in loving hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your bestie! 🤍 Caring for pets has always been part of my daily routine. I attend college so I’m able to give your babies attention, care, and playtime before class, in between, and during study time! I’m used to keeping a consistent routine with my own cats and making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and cared for. I only accept bookings that fit my schedule so I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make the experience easy for both you and your pet. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’ll send lots of updates and pictures (because I know I’d want them too!) so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind. Whether your pet is super energetic, a little shy, or just wants someone to hang out with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very detail oriented and always pay attention to things like securely closing doors and gates, keeping dogs safely leashed on walks, and making sure your pet is happy and comfortable. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and feel confident that they were treated like family while you were away.
