About: Cats have been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I've been a volunteer at Midwest Pet Refuge for almost a year, working with cats of every age, temperament, and background. For the past 8 months, I've also been a cat foster, giving both kittens and adults a safe, loving place to land, I've cared for shy cats, spicy cats, and even day-old bottle babies, so I'm very comfortable with high-needs or fragile kitties who require extra patience and attention. I understand cat body language, respect their boundaries, and take the time to earn their trust. Whether your cat wants playtime, cuddles, a calm presence, or someone who knows how to handle special care routines, I'm here to make them feel safe and loved while you're away. Your cat will be treated like family - because that's exactly how I see them.
“Angela want above and beyond and I mean beyond when taking care of my babies when I was gone. She took care of my diabetic cat and my other two cats and didn’t bat an eye at all. She was so willing to learn his routine and kept me up to date on how he was my entire trip. She truly was a blessing to my babies and I! We will for sure be using her again!”
About: I administer medicine to one of my own cats daily! I’ve had my cats for 4 years (one is 4, the other is almost 2). My almost 2 year old is the trouble child, and has become name acquainted with his vet so I know how to administer most meds! During my 2 years of pet sitting in college, I also administered meds, followed the cats dietary schedule, cleaned litter boxes, snuggled and groomed the cats who were friendly enough to allow me!
“Maura accepted our last-minute request to provide drop-in care for our cats and bird when an unexpected trip came up. We trusted her from our first meeting with her and she did a great job! She communicated with us and sent photos from every visit. We will definitely reach out to her when we need to travel again!”
About: I have pet sit for many years. I love meeting new animals. I enjoy pet sitting because as a social worker I am able to come home to an animal and sent time with them. Animals are the way I cope. I have plenty of time to play with animals in the evenings and weekends. My schedule is very open for this and I am excited to have this opportunity I will ensure to keep everything the way I found it or even better. I know animals do best in their own environment so I have no problem being in other peoples homes. I show respect.
“As I am sure most pet parents considering a pet sitter are, I think of my pets as my babies. I was getting really stressed out about leaving my 3 cats for 3 days and finding someone to watch them. I was so relieved when I found a sitter and it was an amazing experience. They sent photos, videos, and kept open communication. I felt like my cats were in great hands the entire time and while I was excited to come home, I felt less nervous about being away. I am definitely going to be using them in the future again and would recommend them to anyone.”
“Kaitlyn was excellent! While watching our cat, Kovu, she sent lots of pictures and kept us informed throughout his stay. We were able to relax knowing she was taking great care of him. Would definitely use her again!”
“Kelly Lea did a phenomenal job caring my two kitties. They were well fed, and kept so happy with playtime and treats. It’s great to be able to enjoy your time away when you know that your fur babies are taken care off by such a caring and wonderful person as Kelly Lea. She kept us updated on their well being with messages and photos. She was on time to every visit even when she needed to adjust one of the visit times. Rest assured we will definitely book Kelly Lea for future needs, what a great experience for all.”
