Cat Sitting in Waldo

“Caitlyn is wonderful! I love my kitties above all else, and worry to death over leaving them. I had to leave them for a week-long work trip for the first time in a new community. She came over beforehand and I could tell she was very organized and caring. She asked a lot of good questions that showed she has experience, things I would not have thought of. She came every day and sent me an update and lots of pictures. I always knew what was going on each day, even that my basement had flooded a little from the rain we got! It meant so much to me to know they were cared for and safe. She also kept everything very clean and had clearly swept around their litter boxes etc. I definitely highly recommend Caitlyn.”

“Carrie was great with my cats and made sure they had everything they needed while I was away. Highly recommend her. She was on time, spent time visiting and giving them affection and it was reassuring to know they had some companionship while I was gone.”

About: I love all animals. I would love to be able to care for your doggies, cats or any of your other pets when you can’t be there. I work full time but am available to drop in on or walk your pets in the afternoons after 3:30, in the evenings and on weekends I will make sure your pets are well fed and watered and whatever else they might need. And they will receive many snuggles and love!

“Sara is the best pet sitter ever! she responded immediately to my email, she was very professional and prompt, and took the excellent care of ALL my animals! Everything I asked her to do, she did it! She sent me daily updates and pictures, which was very reassuring as I was traveling internationally for 2 weeks. I would give her a 10-star if I could and will definitely use her services again! Thanks SO much Sara!”

“Marissa, helped me in a pinch with a last-minute request for drop-in visits with my cat when I left town. She also agreed to an extra day when I decided to extend my trip. She communicated well with me before and during. I will definitely use her services again!”

I love to go on walks, play with their favorite toys, I can easily crate your pet if needed and I am able to give medicine if your pets requires me to do so.

“Melissa did a wonderful job with our cat while we were away on vacation last week! Our cat is usually very shy around new people, however she bonded very quickly with Melissa! I looked forward to the daily pics she would send me & the updates! It was really nice having the peace of mind that she was well looked after while we were away. Melissa was very reliable each day & went above & beyond!”

“Thank you very much for loving my dogs as much as I do!”

About: Hi! I’m Dallas! Your pet’s home away from home. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, reptiles, and even farm animals so caring for pets isn’t something I learned, it’s just how I’ve always lived. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from high energy pups to shy or more sensitive animals who need a slower approach. Now that my daughters are about to be in school full-time, I finally have the flexibility and extra time to focus on pet sitting and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. This also helps fund my love for traveling, so I take this seriously and treat it like a real responsibility, not just a side gig. We’re a pet loving household, and your pet will be treated like part of the family while they’re here. We have two dogs who are very friendly and loving, they’ll definitely want to make friends but full honesty, they can be a little yappy at times. We also have a cat who mostly keeps to herself and doesn’t bother anyone. For safety and quality of care, I only take one family at a time, so your pet will always get my full attention without the stress of a crowded environment. We don’t have a fenced yard, but your pet will still get regular walks, attention, and supervised time to stay active and happy. What you can expect from me: • A safe, structured, and loving home environment • Plenty of attention, interaction, and supervision • Regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing • Respect for your pet’s routine, preferences, and comfort level I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else, so I do everything I can to make that decision easier and to make sure they feel right at home. My schedule is flexible and pet focused. I work part time as a hairstylist three days a week, but I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to make sure they get consistent attention, walks, and interaction. When I’m at the salon, my husband is home and helps maintain your pet’s routine, so they’re never left alone for long periods. Between the two of us, your pet will always have supervision, care, and plenty of attention throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I keep their routine as close to home as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or downtime. Since I only take one family at a time, your pet gets my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment. They’ll have plenty of interaction throughout the day, whether that’s playing, relaxing, or just being near someone whatever they’re used to. We don’t have a fenced yard, so all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs are either leashed or closely monitored to ensure safety. Walks and regular potty breaks are built into the day. I’m very mindful of different personalities and energy levels. My two dogs are friendly and social, but I always make sure introductions are done slowly and safely so everyone is comfortable. Our cat keeps to herself and typically stays out of the way. On days I’m at the salon, my husband is home to help maintain your pet’s routine, so they’re never left alone for long periods. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely to keep everything consistent and stress free feeding, walks, medications, and any specific preferences you have. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Our senior rescues passed on last year; I want to care for others animals as I did for them. If you are going on vacation, out of town, or having a long day at work, I can check in with them. My work is sporadic, but I am taking time off and re-connecting with furry friends. I can spend several hours a day with your pets as needed My house does have a fenced back yard. We love very close to the bike path which is ideal for walks. If they have specific diet concerns that is good to know as well.

About: My whole life there was an animal in my household. So ever since I was 5 years old I would help out. It started off as just feeding the dogs but as I got older I gained more and more experience. Taking the dogs on a walk, letting them outside, simple grooming, administering medicine, etc. Dogs and animals alike have a special place in my heart. They truly are man’s best friend. Even if it isn’t my personal animal it is my goal to give your furry friend the same care and affection that they deserve. I’m currently a college student in my sophomore year. I miss my dogs now that I’m not home, so I truly do give other people dogs as if they are my own. My schedule is mostly open in the evenings and I’m more than willing to work things out, even outside of hours that are listed in my profile. I would want to get to know you and your dog before I come into both of your guys domain. I would follow directions however you desire and most importantly treat them as my own fur baby.

About: I am a trained veterinarian assistance (over 10 years experience) with a background in positive reinforcement training and grooming. I've also done a lot of work with special needs dogs (deaf, blind, amputees, behavioral issues, megaesophagous, Degenerative Myelopathy, diabetes, ect.) as well as being a certified therapy dog handler and trainer with Black Paw Canine. I worked for 10 years as a full time veterinary assistant at non-profit, full service vet clinics in Columbus and at various dog boarding and training facilities. I work part time as a Firefighter/Paramedic, so I am looking to fill my spare time doing something else I love! I wish to tailor the experience for each pet I meet. I can play, run, cuddle, groom, administer meds, train, you name it! It all depends on what your pet enjoys and what will be most beneficial to them! Thank you for trusting me with your furry family members! You can rest easy that with my years of experience and my time in veterinary and human medicine that your furry family member will receive the best care! I typically work one-two 24hr shifts with my fire department and then am completely free on my other days off. This gives me plenty of flexibility to help work around other schedules! Each pet gets a specialized care plan based on their needs. This will be discussed in length as to which things you'd like me to work on with your pup or what things we can reinforce when I care for your pet.

About: I have prior experience walking dogs and I have had cats in my home for the majority of my life. I have also volunteered at animal shelters to help take care of the cats and dogs there. Pet care fits into my weekly routine well since I now have much more time available to dedicate to it. I am available most days of the week with normal hours (9 AM - 5 PM just as a ballpark) unless something comes up. I will care for the pets in their owner's home or in mine the same way they would if not better. If there is something specific that the pet needs, I will take care of it.

About: I am a mom who recently lost her dog due to cancer a year ago. I do this as a source of income due to my health and kids. I grew up with dogs since I was born and am very familiar with large/extra large breeds but love all dogs! Just looking to help out another pet owner while making some extra money to buy my baby due in February of 2023 everything they need! I do have a local vet who will happily tell you how well I take care of my own pets and adore animals! I'm a stay at home momma. I do not have fenced in yard, daily walks once or twice a day are part of my routine along with lots of playing with toys! I am able to crate dog(s) if needed during night or when I am not home. I am not against dogs on furniture unless owner requests otherwise.

About: I've owned & been around cats & dogs all of my life. I am very patient & loving. I have done house-sitting for pet care numerous times for family & friends over the years, before having the technology to make it easier to keep track. I adore all animals. Each one has something unique about them. I can't wait to meet yours and get to know them! Thank you for allowing me the opportunity! I work a small set schedule. I am available almost all day, every day. I work from my car a lot also, so I'm quite mobile. Animals RULE my house. I currently have 3 black cats. They are beyond spoiled every minute of every day! I am totally obsessed & in love!!!

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 14 years old and have always had a genuine love for pets. Over the years, I’ve helped care for a variety of animals, including cats, ferrets, and dogs through pet sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family friends. I also have a 9 year old Border Collie/Lab mix of my own, who I’ve cared for and grown up with. Pet care is something I do on the side because I truly enjoy being around animals and building bonds with them. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting and walks. Since this is something I do because I genuinely love animals, I’m open and adaptable to different pet care needs and always happy to help however I can! I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for by being patient and understanding with their individual personalities and needs. With my own dog and other pets I’ve cared for, I’ve learned that building trust takes time, so I never force interaction. I let pets come to me at their own pace so they can feel comfortable and secure in their environment. Creating a calm, loving, and stress free atmosphere is always my priority.
