Cat Sitting in Walterville

“We're so happy to have found Jessica and are thankful to finally have a WONDERFUL pet sitter ?!! She was attentive to our pets medical needs and communicated with us regularly. I appreciated the extra attention she gave our elderly cat who didn't always want to take his meds or eat his food. She sent funny texts and we had pics daily. We'll definitely have Jessica watch our pets whenever we go out of town!!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, starting my journey at just 12 years old, walking dogs and pet sitting for neighbors. Over the years, my passion for animals grew into a profession, and for the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant. From managing health issues and ensuring proper exercise to offering endless love and attention, I provide care that goes above and beyond basic sitting. I have in-depth experience with administering medications, senior care, and specialized needs for puppies and kittens. As a passionate dog trainer, I’ve also successfully trained my own pup since he was just 4 months old, making him the well-behaved boy he is today. I'm currently working part-time at a veterinary clinic on Thursdays (7:30 am - 6:30 pm), while completing my Bachelor degree at Lane Community College. Because I am mostly online for school, other than Tuesday nights (6:00 pm - 9:00 pm), my schedule is flexible for you and your pets! My schedule may be changing depending on summer classes starting June 23, 2025. In my care, I strive to create a comfortable, stress-free environment for your pets, whether it’s in my home or yours. In your home: I make sure your pet’s routine stays as close to normal as possible, which means sticking to their feeding schedule, daily walks, playtime, and any medication needs. I keep a watchful eye on their health and behavior, providing plenty of affection and attention to make them feel safe and loved. I also ensure that your home remains clean and secure, respecting your space while providing top-notch care for your pet. In my home: I offer a cozy, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can relax and feel at ease. I create a comfortable space with plenty of attention and supervision, as well as a structured routine. I treat every pet like they are my own, making sure they’re cared for with the same level of love and expertise as I give my own pet. I have a well-behaved, friendly 15lb rescue pup that would love to be your pet's next best friend. Overall, my goal is to make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and secure in any environment, while providing the expert care they need.

About: Animals have been a true passion of mine for my entire life. I have been in the Animal Care Industry for close to a decade now and have been a licensed Pet Stylist since 2015. Additionally, I had the luxury of growing up on a family farm, which provided me the opportunity to learn about the proper care & handling of a wide variety of different animal species. My soul dog passed away 5/21/25, so caring for your fur babies brings me lots of happiness and comfort. I love being able to care for and dote on them like I did for my boy 🧡 I am available every day of the week, including all holidays. Drop in visits I am available between the hours of 8 am and 10 pm. I have certifications through Fear Free, A.K.C. SAFE & Pet CPR/First-Aid. I have experience handling & caring for pets that might need a lil' extra TLC due to their medical issues, fear/anxiety and reactivity. You can view my certificates on my Instagram @havocs_house

“Rachael did a great job taking care of our cats with daily drop-in visits while we were away - we particularly appreciated the daily photos! We will definitely reach out to her again the next time we travel.”

About: All types of animals (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, horses, goats, sheep) have been part of my life forever. I love all animals, most of them more than humans! Currently 2 large dogs, 3 cats, 4 chickens and 1 human are my "family". Previously I lived on 36 acres and took care of my horse, 2 donkeys, a herd of goats and chickens. I recently retired and am looking to fill some of my time taking care of your animals and home. I am happy to take care of any types of animal and will provide love and care for your pets while your away. I recently retired from being an insurance agent for 20 years and am very flexible with my time and can be available for short or longer stays. I will take great care of your pets, will administer medications, walk them or play ball, keep them company while your gone. And I will treat your home and belongings with respect and keep it clean and safe.

“Kelly truly went above and beyond to take care of my menagerie of a household! I have a dog, two freshwater aquariums, a large collection of succulents, herbs, and in-ground garden of tomatoes, marigolds, and much more and Kelly kept them all thriving while I was on vacation for 10 days. Kelly was extremely flexible, communicative, and professional. She sent me many photos of my baby Pug and kept me in the loop for any developments. She was super punctual and showed great care in making sure everything was well taken care of! I would most definitely recommend Kelly to anyone looking for pet care! I will certainly rebook her services for future trips as I trust she will be an excellent caretaker of my precious pets! ? A big Thank You to Kelly for an amazing experience!”

I can give medication as needed. I am a mom and college student. Taking care of your pets will allow me the flexibility I need to continue being a mom and college student. I love walking and getting as many steps in as possible, walking your dog will help me achieve that. My yard is fenced. I keep anything that is toxic to pets put away or out of reach. In your home, I would keep a close eye on your pet and familiarize myself with your home and the things that could be a danger.
