Cat Sitting in Urbana

“I contacted Kayla a week before Christmas for either house sitting or boarding my mastiff on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Kayla responded right away but I ended confirming with a sitter I contacted earlier that day. In the midst of this first conversation, my regular drop in sitter canceled a visit for that day. I asked Kayla if she’d be willing to drop in without a meet and greet. She said yes and was at my house 30 minutes later! I highly recommend Kayla and definitely will book with her again.”

About: I have worked at a dog boarding facility in the past, as well as pet sitting! I have experience giving medication and with special diets. I am comfortable with younger pets up to senior pets! I am responsible and responsive! I currently have a full time job Monday-Thursday, so I am looking for pet care work Friday-Sunday! There is an option to provide morning walks every day of the week. I will be very respectful of your home and space while caring for your pet. I don’t offer pet care in my home, because I have a cat.

“Hailey did finally coax my shy house cat to get some attention! Great communication and pics!”

“Holli accommodated a late request to let my puppy out in the morning and afternoon as well as spend an hour at each visit with her. Holli took great care of my puppy! She messaged me updates and pictures.”

About: I grew up on a small farm with a few farm animals along with a couple family dogs. I also worked at a dog boarding and training facility. While working there I gained a lot of knowledge about our fury friends. I can administer oral medicines, complete various types of meals, and watch for social cues I’m familiar with. I do not own any dogs of my own currently. My partner and I have a cat. She gets fed on a schedule, lots of playtime, and of course lots of snuggles. I miss working at the boarding facility and having daily interactions with amazing animals. I look forward to meeting your sweet pups. In my experience with animals I’ve learned to be very observant. I can keep an eye out for social cues while having fun and caring for your fur babies.

About: Boarding- No longer offering boarding services. Drop in visits at your home- Flexible schedule and cats are welcome also! Play time, walk, feeding, bathing are all welcome activities. I love animals of all types and look forward to caring for you for baby. No dog to small or big, I love all equally! 3 years of experience fostering for the Warsaw Animal Shelter including expecting mommas, newborns, bottle feeding, and special needs. My home is flexible to your pets needs. If quiet and slow are needed more than running and exercise we will adapt. All ages from puppy to senior will be well cared for. In your home visits and walks only. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have. Thanks!

About: Growing up I lived on a farm. I had pigs, chickens, rabbits, ducks, dogs and cats. I have always had a love for animals of any kind. I’m currently a stay at home mom. With that being said I would be able to take care of your pet at any hour through out the day. I have a fenced in yard at my house because I have 2 dogs of my own. If I were to come to your house to take care of your dog, I would be sure to take the dog out on a leash so that the dog doesn’t run off.

“Andrea has been fantastic with my pets each time I've had her care for them. She goes above and beyond their required care and makes sure to give them lots of attention and playtime. She communicates very well if anything comes up and provides great updates each day. I look forward to having her watch my girls again!”

About: I started pet sitting in 2022 for a family friend and continue to do so for them. I have watched other cats and dogs for family friends. After these instances, I realized how much I enjoyed pet sitting! The people that I work with are very kind and make it so easy on me. I have gathered a few new clients since I started promoting my pet sitting but I still have so much to learn! I try to send many pictures and updates throughout the day and will respond quickly to any questions you may have for me. Hopefully one day I can make this a full time commitment, but for now, I am here to provide care for your dogs whenever I am available. I am a recent college graduate still searching for a job but I have pretty open availability for now. For long periods, the services that I provide are pet sitting and house sitting in one. Staying at your house makes your pets feel more comfortable with me and also gives me the ability to keep your house clean. I will always leave your home looking just the way it did when you left! I can also do drop in visits as well, but I do not bring pets to my house.

About: I’ve had experience caring for horses, cats, and dogs. I have nursed many cats back to health in my youth on the farm. I have trained my two puppies and am happy to help in any way possible. I do have experience with diabetes and insulin injections. Senior care with blindness, deafness, and senility is something I’ve very familiar with as well. I am a stay at home dog mom of 3 and cat mom of 1 and have an open schedule to help care for your pets too. I am meticulously tidy and respectful of homes. I am honest and trustworthy and treat your home as I treat my own. My goal is to create a comfortable and happy environment while you’re away and for your pets to be as stress free as possible.

“Carolyn was absolutely amazing with Sissy! She took the time to make sure Sissy was well cared for, making sure she was fed, let out for potty breaks, and given plenty of outdoor time to play and explore. I really appreciated how patient and attentive she was, ensuring Sissy had every opportunity to go potty and get the exercise and attention she needed. Carolyn was also very communicative throughout the entire process, which gave me great peace of mind. She was able to accommodate us on short notice, and her flexibility and reliability were truly appreciated. I could tell she genuinely cared about Sissy's well-being and happiness. I would highly recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Sissy!”

About: I’ve been a a pet lover ever since I could remember. My first dog at 7 and many cats throughout my life. Once I turned 19 , I became a dog mom to two beautiful dogs who are now 8 & 10 years old and I’ve had them since they were both 8 weeks old!! Time sure flies by! I’m looking to take care of your fur babies the best way I know how and that’s with love and care! I know the importance of your fur babies health and I would love to step in as your helper while you’re away or at work and make sure your babies are fed and walked and played with! Can’t wait to hear from you :) I’m extremely flexible with my time during the summer! I know the importance of taking care of pets and I will ensure you that I will take care of your fur baby with alll of my best ability! Walking, playing, giving lots of love! I could even try and teach your pet some tricks as I’ve taught my dogs speak, sit, turn around, etc! I am fortunate enough to have a great yard in the country for my dogs to roam around and be dogs! I take my own dogs for walks all the time up and down the stretch of road we live on as well as visit dog parks so they can socialize with other dogs. However, with your dog, I can do the same. Dog parks, walks, fetch, loves of petting lol! You name it, I’d love to do it!

About: I have 3 dogs at home. I LOVE animals! My oldest is diabetic and gets shots 2 times a day so I have experience in injections. I work 3 days a week so on my days off I’d like this to be a part time job if you will. Love animals I am offering dog walking and drop in visits. I have 3 dogs of my own so I cannot house sit or do doggy daycare.

“I highly recommend Abbigail! I was able to book her for a drop-in on very short notice. I could tell my dog was comfortable with her and she has experience with big dogs. She was communicative and took lots of pictures!”

About: I have been involved in several volunteer groups for pets and rescue organizations. I’m sure I could help your peace of mind when you need. I’m currently working for Rover full time. I’m looking to make this a career path and I’m trying to earn more than happiness from Rover. My apartment has a private entrance and I have parks and trails to take them near me that are secure. I have multiple options for boarding.

“Jena was wonderful. She kept us updated on our 3 dogs. Unfortunately, all of them lived. Was hoping for a casualty or two, but no such luck. All kidding aside Jena was great. Would highly recommend her to anyone in the Columbia City area.”

About: I have owned pets all my life and always hated boarding my pets due to the stress they endure thats why I offer my services. I also offer care for cats and small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs ect. As of right now I am available anytime. Ive worked at vet clinics and volunteered at shelters. Ive taken care of senior dogs, hyper and young dogs. Also have administered meds to animals. Recently I have watched farm animals such as chickens,goats,horses and a Llama. I currently have 4 dogs of my own and 2 of my moms dogs. We have 1 cat. Ive had several dogs and 2 other cats in the past as well as 2 rabbits. I also have been petsitting since 2012 and have refrences. I do walks with dogs. I also offer nail trims, brush outs ECT. If you would like to know more please message me and I would be happy to answer. I do also have a Facebook page Howling Hounds Pet Care. Unfortunately my prices have increased due to Rover taking 20%. Please note i am willing to work with people on pricing if contacted PRIOR to services. I am currently doing this as my full time employment as I go to school for pet grooming in the spring. I am an owner to 4 crazy beagles so I know what it's like to make sure pets have the stress free environment when we are gone. All pet care is done in the client's home. This creates more calmness within the pet and less stress. They can be where they are used to.
