Cat Sitting in Waterford

About: My pet care experience with dogs is primarily through my childhood pets and caring for friends/family’s dogs. I specialize in caring for cats since I currently have 4. However, if I don’t have the experience with a certain animal or breed, I’m a great listener and quick learner. I will strictly follow any instructions necessary to keep your pet safe and loved. I currently work full time and I’m taking up pet sitting as a fun hobby on the side. On week days I am primarily available in the evenings after 5pm. On weekends I am far more flexible and can likely accommodate any time. I live in a small town where I’ve had limited choices for pet sitting so I’d like to expand the help available for my fellow neighbors. I would care for my clients pets in their home exactly as they specify. I will carefully follow the care instructions left for me. I will be punctual, responsible, and love the pets who I know will be missing their owners.

“Teresa is great! She is extremely responsible, left me very detailed notes and pictures, Took excellent care of my kitty, and was very accommodating. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I’m Emma, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of pet sitting for friends, neighbors, family, and referrals—looking after everything from playful pups and snuggly cats to chickens, bunnies, and even someones 4-H ducks. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, feeding, or simply keeping your pets company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to feel at ease knowing your furry (or feathered!) family members are safe, happy, and loved.I’m reliable, attentive, and experienced with pets of all personalities. I’d love the chance to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I currently am a full time student I attend college from 9am-2:20pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. My commute one way to campus is roughly an hour and fifteen minutes. I regularly house sit for people on weekends but am hoping to do it more regularly. If your pet is an eloper I’ll make sure to keep all doors shut and be mindful when walking in and out to not let them out. I have plenty of experience with scooping dog poop and cleaning kitty litter. I have a client who gave me a key to keep for if they are ever out of town due to an emergency I can be able to get in to care for their pets that is how trust worthy I am. The client is also not a neighbor or friend.

“Emily was so kind and was able to accommodate my last minute requests to stay longer on same day notice. She sends photos of my pup and keeps me updated.”

About: I have had many types of unique animals, and learned proper care for them. Because I grew up surrounded by animals, I became very connected to them and absolutely adore meeting new pets! I will have mostly open availability throughout the week and weekend. As a recent graduate in an animal-focused degree, pet care fits in quite nicely to my routine. More so, being with animals does not feel like work at all! I ensure that I follow the instructions provided to me from the owners, as well as ask about any further care that the animal may need or want.

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 4 years now. I have had dogs since I was a child, but have been fostering and caring for animals for about 4 years now. I am patient and Cat and Dog First Aid training from American Red Cross. I am currently working part-time, I have time to take on walks, stop by and play, or even feed meals if needed for the pooch. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I have 4 dogs that are all dog friendly, but have their own area of the backyard and are crate trained. My babies are all vaccinated and are on flea and tick medicine. My dogs will most likely be kept separate from your fur babies.

About: My family has raised both cats and dogs since I was young, so I will happily take requests for either pet! I have also trained our family dog a couple of small tricks over the years. A few years ago I volunteered for a rescue organization and fostered some kittens and helped get them adopted to loving families. I'm a college student and have just completed my third year, so my schedule is currently open from Sunday to Friday, starting at 7 am. I will fulfill the standard requirements: feeding, walking, grooming, and playing. But I will also listen to any requests the client has, whether that be a medical need or a special act of affection. I find it important to hear what the client has to say as they know their pet the best.

About: I have had a myriad of pets since I was a kid. I have taken care of pets ranging from Dogs to Turtles, and few different kinds in between! I have a love for animals, and enjoy spending time with them. As of right now I work full time in Child Care, so I will usually be available for pet care weekdays in the evening, as well as some weekends when I am in town. I pay attention to detail and and ensure animals are taken care of to the very letter of their owners instructions. I will ensure animals are fed, energy exhausted and having a great time, while maintaining safety!

“Responsive, carrying, and the pets loved her! Will hire again. :)”

About: My family has owned and cared for dogs as long as I can remember and my aunt was a career dog trainer and groomer. We have had a mix of breeds from chihuahuas to pitbulls to German shepard mixes. I've taken them out for walks, bathed, fed, and cared for them all over the years as well as generally cared for them and given the attention they require to maintain a healthy mood. I work Tuesday through Saturday from 8 to 4, so I can work with the pets either in the evenings of those days or any time Sundays and Mondays! I will be happy to work with the dog in whatever way is desired for your particular living environment, whether that means in a crate or fenced area inside, or roaming free outdoors.

About: Professional experience: Over the years, I have had the privilege of caring for others' pets, both cats and dogs. My experience in doing so includes dog walking, dog and cat sitting, regular check-ins, regular potty breaks, food and water checks, and playtime. Several of these pets were seniors with health issues, including arthritis and blindness. Personal experience: I have had pets of all kinds throughout my life, several of whom have also had health issues and special needs. I have also rescued and cared for animals of all sorts, rehabilitating them and returning them to the wild - including birds, lizards, and even a honeybee! It is my firm belief that a life without animals is an empty one. The happiness, humor, and unconditional love that animals provide is invaluable; spending time with them and caring for them is my way of expressing my appreciation and love for them.

“Nina did a great job! Her communication was excellent and I felt very secure leaving my pets in her care. I would use her again without hesitation.”

About: I grew up in a househould full of animals, most being rescues. I know how to be patient in earning the trust of pets and have walked, bathed, and fed them almost my whole life. I also grew up around farm animals and have taken care cleaning their pens and making sure they are clean and healthy. I am currently self-employed and can work on any schedule. I do have kids that are in school until 2pm but their dad is always home if I am needed. I have several leashes and harnesses if needed to walk your fur baby. I also have a surplus of doggy bags to take on walks and a water bowl which I clean and keep sanitzed for your furry ones health. I keep a little pack of treats for the walk to reward and influence good behavior.

“I cannot remember a time when I was better satisfied with an individual or company to provide services to me and/or my family. If I could, I would rate both Stephanie, and Rover.com, far more than 5 stars. From my very first request to have Stephanie take car of my 15+ year old cat “Bella”, I received enthusiasm to the max, a sincere desire to accommodate my quirkiness (it’s actually my “Bella” who is the quirky one), and a quick understanding of the needs and behaviors of animals. I received daily communication and pictures that are part of Rover’s commitment, and Stephanie didn’t hesitate to inform me if her schedule for visits changed, or if something seemed odd while she was visiting. I cannot thank Rover.com for hiring this beautiful, self-driven young pet lover, and I can’t monetarily reimburse Stephane enough for her outstanding care of my spoiled “Princess”. Take a chance on Stephanie to care for your family pets ~ you won’t be disappointed, or Stephanie will move mountains to correct any slight or issue.”

“Sylvia was fantastic! I didn’t have to worry about a thing while i was on my trip. She let me know when she arrived and she took plenty of pictures! I’m very appreciative of how she cared for my boy and will definitely have her check in on him next time i’m away!”

“Lesley is a very sweet and kind person who was willing to listen to my requests of how to take care of my cat, Remy who requires extra care since she can’t walk. She has the patience and willingness to learn and care for any pet. I would definitely recommend Lesley and hire her again.”

Jennifer M.

“Coralie was gracious enough to care for our baby tortoise while we were away. She knew exactly what to do with our Disco, which made us super comfortable. She also sent lots of photos of her throughout the stay. Disco was returned to us happy. I would highly recommend Coralie for all your pet sitting needs. Thanks Again!!!”

About: I have had pets all my life, caring for pregnant mama cats and dogs, as well as their babies. I own 2 small dogs myself who are very friendly and calm. I am flexible to whatever you need and require. I work part time as a substitute teacher. I choose the days I want to work, so I can be available to you majority of the time with 24 hours notice. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I have a fenced in yard, with space to run around in the back yard. I will likely keep your pet indoors most of the time, and can take them out for walks, the dog park and outside in the backyard to run and play.
