Cat Sitting in Truxillo

“Erika is awesome! We always feel confident our pets will receive the best care while we are away. Her check in notes and pictures are the best!”

“Heather continuously goes above and beyond for us. Our cat, who runs and hides with any other sitter, will come out and love on Heather. I feel confident leaving our fur baby with her.”

“Stephanie watched our two kittens over President's Day weekend and was great – she was incredibly communicative throughout our entire trip, keeping us updated frequently with adorable photos. It was clear our kittens were well cared for and happily exploring and playing! She was also very accommodating about an early drop-off time and a late pick-up time after our flight landed.”

About: I've had dogs since I can remember. My fiancé watched dogs in the past with rover and I would always help. Take the dogs to the park on my days off, play outside, and train them when needed. I am currently on veterans disability so I can focus my whole day to your furry friend. No worry about being stuck in all day. I have 5 acres of yard for them to play on. I have lots of space if needed, room for crates, room outside. Plenty of space so your furry friend won't feel trapped. My animals mind their own.

About: Hello!! I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years now with multiple different families I care for consistently! I’m also a veterinary assistant at a vet clinic meaning I’m very well versed in pet care. I can provide care for pets that require a bit more attention, medical help (medications, special diets, exercises, etc.) and beyond that I am just extremely passionate in taking care of animals! Please reach out Id love to watch your dogs and cats for you! I work full time at my vet clinic my schedule is monday/wednesday 9-8 and thursday/friday 9-6. Im off on tuesdays and work only part time early mornings at a breakfast restaurant! For house sitting I am able to let your dogs out at least three times daily even if i’m working! I’m very flexible and able to prioritize your pet in between working. I unfortunately cannot board dogs at my house because it is not my house!! I still live with my parents and we have many animals that suffer from anxiety so introducing new animals to the environment would stress them out. I’m more than willing to come to you and stay overnights to house/pet sit!!

About: My love of dogs started about 5 years ago when I rescued my first dog. Since then, I have acquired a load of knowledge not only in how to care for them, but also how to train them. I can provide mental and physical stimulation for your furry friend and bring most of my own equipment - I can also use the tools your pet is most familiar with. I can assess your pet to determine what your pet may need for stimulation, make suggestions for daily care, and learn at least some of their body language. My dogs and I are always interacting whenever I'm home, but most of our intentional fun/training happens for about 2-3 hours each day outdoors. This includes both training and walking. I also help some of my friends train their dogs whenever our schedules allow. I believe your dog should ALWAYS be in training and you can make almost any situation a training opportunity. Your pets can be treated as my own and/or according to your specific instructions. Do you have multiple dogs that need to be separated? No problem. Can your dogs be together but need to be supervised so tension doesn't continue to build? I got you covered there too! Does your dog pull too much on walks, need to learn how to act in-doors? I can work with your dog on those things as well in addition to other things!

“Raegan helped with my three dogs with short notice and we had no issues. Highly recommend”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. We currently have 2 large dogs. I can administer medication. I have a very flexible schedule. My schedule is very flexible since I have a 2.5yr old daughter. My husband is also home about 50% of the month which makes my schedule even more flexible. I have taken care of all different sizes and breeds of dogs and cats since I was a kid. Both of my dogs are rescues who needed some extra love to acclimate when they came home.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, starting with the many pets I grew up with. Over the years, I’ve gained experience house sitting and pet sitting for families and friends, ensuring their pets were happy and well cared for. While I still currently house sit for those with pets, I also work on a farm, where I handle a wide range of animals daily, further strengthening my skills and dedication to animal care! I’m a college student with a part-time job, and I excel at multitasking. Spending time with animals is not only enjoyable for me but also a great way to unwind. I’m available for regular walks, house sitting, and multiple daily check-ins, as well as overnight stays. With my short work shifts and a flexible class schedule, I can easily accommodate your pet care needs. Pets' safety is always my top priority when pet sitting. Ensuring a pet’s safety in their own home requires attentiveness and preparation. I carefully follow owner’s instructions, supervise the pet closely, and make sure the environment is free of hazards. I keep emergency contacts on hand, monitor the pet for signs of stress, and am prepared to act quickly if needed. I've also worked with many anxious pets in the past so I understand that they may need a little more care and closeness. With a focus on security and comfort, I provide consistent care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind.

“Kelly was amazing! One of my cats is very timid around strangers and she warmed up to Kelly right away. Cats can sense a good cat person, and Kelly definitely is one. It was my first time leaving my cats alone for so long, but Kelly made me feel better by sending me pictures every visit and was easy to communicate with. She was even so kind as to water my plants for me. Next time I go out of town, I will absolutely hire her again!”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was seven years old. My family had two kittens that I cared for and I was responsible for pet sitting other fur babies in the neighborhood growing up. I also attended many animal science/nature camps growing up, it’s where I got my first hermit crab! I also know the Heimlich maneuver for both cats and dogs. In my junior year of high school I applied and was accepted to the HOSA veterinary science program where I graduated in the National Honors Society. Shortly after graduation, I started working at a veterinary hospital as a veterinary assistant. My job was to help restrain animals for exams/shots, organize medications, prepare/read fecal slides and determine if intestinal parasites are present, collect urine samples, and provide basic care. Overall I have had personal experience caring for dogs/puppies, cats/kittens, goats, horses, hamsters, chickens/chicks, pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, ferrets, chinchillas, birds, lizards, snakes, frogs, turtles, hermit crabs, and axolotls. I am currently a student in nursing school and am working as a part time server. I only have classes two days a week on Monday (6 AM - 6 PM) and Tuesday (8:30 AM - 11:15 AM) and work a couple hours 2 evenings a week, but can take off if needed for services. I like to learn about their daily routine and what they like to do for fun so and incorporate those things into our routine while clients are gone, so pets feel safe and relaxed while their family isn’t there.

“Orla was so good to my cat Rhubarb!! Great feeding and care drop ins for three days straight. Orla handled my visiting family with kindness and grace and communicated so well with me! Rhubarb was happy and full when I got home every night thanks to Orla!”

“We have used Gabrielle's services on three occasions. She is very dependable and followed all our instructions consistently. She clearly loves animals and was very attentive to our cats during our absence. We have 4 cats and one of them is outdoors most of the time. She made sure to let us know when she had a sighting of him as he is very shy of others, and sent photos of him when possible. I highly recommend her for your pets need.”

“Chris is an outstanding pet sitter. She knows animals, and they like her instantly. She is great at keeping us posted and sending pics. It gives us great comfort to know our cat has been well cared for during our trip.”
