About: I have lived with and cared for cats of all ages since I was a child. From a litter of kittens I had to raise, to some ornery seniors that fell in love with me. I love them all. I have always had a way with cats and have never met a cat that didn't like me. (take it from my grandma's cat who hated everyone except me). I also have experience in the veterinary field and can administer medications if needed.
About: Growing up, I've always had pets, and my affection for them has only grown stronger as I've gotten older. I'm fascinated by creatures of all kinds and enjoy learning about them. My pet-care experience stems from having my own pets as well as caring for family, friends, and volunteers over the years. I’m excited to get to know you and your pet and provide that unconditional safety and love. Ideally weekends work best but weekdays in the morning are just fine as well. I have a mixed schedule so contact me for any questions. I can always assure my clients that i will take the finest possible care of their dog or cat. I do recognize that leaving a pet at home can be stressful but I make note of all relevant information, such as emergency contacts, veterinarian details, food recommendations, medication information, alarm codes, etc. Never forgetting to lock the doors, and never leave the building without a key. You can be sure that your pet is in good hands.
“Abigail was a fantastic cat sitter! She took care of my little lady just like I asked. She communicated very well and sent multiple photos of Loey everyday while I was gone. She even took in some packages I had delivered which I had asked her to do. Loey and Abigail were the best of friends while I was gone and I highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of a whole bunch of cats over the years and be honest with you. They are their own creature. I love how the attitude always comes out even when you don’t expect it. My experience of taking care of cats is fun, energetic, and they can use a whole bunch of love. I know how to administer medication in keeping those litter boxes, clean and healthy is what’s more important to a cat and to a human. I don’t have a cat, but it’s the experience is what I cherish the most.
About: I have worked in the animal industry for a good bit while at an animal shelter and a doggy daycare as well. I have had animals my entire life and currently have 2 dogs of my own! I have experience training and medicating animals. I also have experience with reactive/anxious dogs. I do have a job I will be leaving soon as I am moving in 2 months so I can rearrange my schedule quite a bit to let any pups out or pop in and check on anyone’s babies. I am willing to clear time to make your baby a priority! I have a pretty lenient schedule so if your pet wants to spend some time cuddling or playing in the yard it’s no problem I will clear time for them! If your pup loves to go hiking or on long walks I have no problem enjoying nature with them!
About: I've had cats my whole life growing up on a farm. I also have fostered cats in my home for animal rescue organizations. I have experience in administrating meds and have worked with a wide variety of injuries and illnesses with cats/kittens I've owned as well as fostered.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve trained my own dogs through three levels of obedience and raised five of them from the time they were 8 weeks old and took care of them through their elderly years including in pup wheel chairs. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to independent cats and senior pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work school hours during the week and have Thursdays at home, which gives me extra flexibility for pet care. I’m available for walks and drop-ins after 4 p.m. on weekdays, and for boarding or extended visits on weekends. Your pets will always get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I love spending time brushing and walking all of my furry friends. I don’t have a fenced yard at this time, but I spend lots of time outside with pets in our spacious back yard and make sure they’re always safely supervised. I’m comfortable using leashes, harnesses, and long leads to give dogs room to explore while keeping them secure. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, caring environment where every pet feels safe and loved.
About: Hi! I’m a full-time pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also small mammals and exotics. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, cats, rats, tortoises, lizards, hermit crabs, and even tiny critters like jumping spiders. If it has fur, scales, or a shell, there’s a good chance I’m comfortable caring for it! I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I always prioritize each animal’s individual needs, routines, and comfort level. Whether that means high-energy playtime for big dogs, gentle handling for small pets, or precise care for reptiles and invertebrates, I take pride in providing safe, thoughtful, and reliable care. I’m available full-time, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling and attentive to your pet while you’re away. I understand that every pet household is different, and I’m happy to discuss specific care needs, animals not listed here, or custom pricing. If you have any questions at all—about availability, pricing, or whether I’d be a good fit for your pet—please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to chat and make sure your pet gets the best care possible! I have experience with different age ranges too - I've had the opportunity to see many of my fur family member's long lives, from beginning to end. I am currently working remotely and on my own time, so I have lots of flexibility with times and services. I love being outdoors and enjoy a cozy day in too. We have an unfenced yard but a deck with a gate on the stairs down. We live on walking trails that our fur babies frequent with us. Currently have dogs, cats, rats, and a tortoise. Rats and tortoise are kept in different closed rooms. Dogs and cats are allowed to free-roam the house. We do have MANY kennels (with varying sizes) that we can utilize if needed.

About: I went to school to be a vet tech. I can administer any medications you may need. I specialize in the care of elderly pets and their unique needs. Animals are better than people. My schedule is open for weekdays or weekends, night or day. Your babies can come stay with me or I can stay with them (sometimes home is just less scary) Whether at my home or yours if there’s a yard we’ll be playing for hours, if there isn’t we’ll be taking some fun walks at the park. I always check the air temperature to decipher concrete temps because nobody wants hot paws! I also always carry water so we can all stay happy and hydrated.

About: As a lifelong dog and cat lover, I understand how much pets mean to their families. After raising a Min Pin for 16 years and a Bull Terrier for 11, I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. I’ve also cared for many pets through sitting and walking services while living in Germany, always providing loving, attentive care. Treating every pet like family! I work as a paraprofessional and am currently off for the summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. During the school year, I maintain a consistent routine and can still provide reliable care. In your home, I can make multiple visits throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply providing companionship and attention. At my home, while I don't have a fenced yard, I do have a large open yard with a field behind our home and several nearby walking paths. Pets in my care receive plenty of exercise, outdoor time, and supervision to keep them safe, happy and comfortable.

“We met James for the first time and scheduled a 4 hour time to see how Bailey does at his house before booking an overnight with him. I am a very overprotective dog mom and I've never given a rating of 5 stars before but James deserves 5 stars. He did everything right to make me feel comfortable leaving Bailey with him. Although he was just there a few hours, he sent me some pictures and a video of Bailey playing with his dog and I so appreciate that. I always ask for pictures when leaving Bailey with someone but often times don't get any and I didn't even ask James for pictures! Bailey seemed to have a wonderful time there and I can always tell when he's had fun because he came home and slept for hours afterward. James is incredibly professional and if you need a good dog sitter, please try him out. I will for sure be using him again in the future.”
