Cat Sitting in Waterloo

“Bre did a fantastic job with our three cats! We have two senior cats who are a bit high maintenance and one younger one who is sweet but energetic, and she didn’t mind the list of details to keep everyone content while we were out of town! Extremely thorough, great communication, would definitely recommend Bre and will use her again!”

“Taylor did a great job dropping in for my dog Buster over Memorial Day weekend. Buster has some anxiety but he eventually warmed up to her after a few visits. Taylor did a great job keeping me informed of how he was doing. I will definitely use Taylor for future trips out of town.”

“Erin always stays at my house and goes above and beyond when keeping my yorkie, Harley. I get pictures and she understands how important he is to me and gives him lots of extra love. I would definitely recommend Erin to care for your fur babies.”

“Tammy is just awesome. She is consistent, reliable and wonderful with the dogs and my kitty. It is such a relief to know my kids are being well taken care of when I have to leave town”

“Ms. Makenzie did an amazing job watching my fur babies. She sent picture as well as updated me on them. She did really well. I always ask her to watch my dogs. I recommend her to everyone and I will recommend her to you. She treats them as her own and cares for all sorts of animals-not just dogs. Such a lovely person and spirit! Highly recommend!!”

“Answered Prayers! I am a dedicated breeder With a house full of fur babies that rule our house and our lives! So when I was faced with having a complete hip replacement surgery out of state I was distraught as who in the world could take care of all my babies like I do while I’m having surgery and recovering! The good Lord was definitely listening when I prayed for help! Lisa came to my rescue! She came right in and did everything as instructed and even handled an unexpected heat like a pro! I will be using Lisa every time I have to leave my babies! I think they secretly love her just as much!”

About: I have had my own furbabies for 10+ yrs. I have a German shepherd lab mix that I’ve raised from pup she is 7 now, I have potty trained her, taught her basic commands. I also have 2 cats that I have raised from babies. I have learned patience with training and feeding schedules along with treats and walks. I am currently a stay at home wife, so I have open availability and I get up every morning and feed my furbabies and let them roam outside in our fenced in yard until they are ready for a nap. I would love the opportunity to help you where needed! My pets go in and out at much as they like, but if you are needing potty visits I can do that every 2-4 hrs and include a play time as well. I keep my home organized and clean and will keep yours clean and organized during stays as well!

“Awesome!! Annabelle took great care of my 2 cats while I was on vacation. I am so thankful I found her. She kept me updated the entire time by sending me photos with little messages letting me know my cats were doing great. I was able to enjoy my vacation stress free like it should be. Thanks Annabelle!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for about 3 years but I have had my own animals sense I was a kid. I just love being around animals and taking care of them. I want like 6 when I’m in my own house. I am currently pregnant and unemployed I am open when ever you need me and will be there for your pet every second if needed. I will sit and play with them and make sure they are fed and have taken a walk. I like to stay for a bit just so they have a bit of interaction so they don’t miss there people to much.

“Felicia was great!! She wrote out her daily interactions with my cats. She played with them and gave medicine. She texted when she had questions about their care.”

“The puppers say you're great ;) me, too!”

About: I love all animals. Personally I have helped take care of every type of animal from cats, pups, senior dogs to chickens. I have plenty of experience caring for young animals and sick animals before which equips me to administer their medicine or follow strict schedules as needed. I moved back to the area recently and currently do not have any other responsibilities besides my own lovable pets. I’d love to make time to care for yours too! I have two energetic, friendly huskies that would love to be friends! After caring for them, I am used to energetic, high maintenance and stubborn dogs. I am not afraid to befriend any animal and take them for walks, feed them or pet sit for your four legged children as well I am very communicative and have sent regular updates to previous clients so they can rest assured their animals are well taken care of. Let your next vacation, trip out of town or long work day be without worry! I’m happy to answer all questions and work out the perfect routine to fit your needs.

“Hanna was wonderful! We would definitely use her again when needed. She made sure to ask and understand our needs for our fur babies. Was there exactly when asked and took the time to take care of all the dogs. We didn’t ask for update and photos, but Hanna was sweet enough to give us a full report and provide photos to ensure the dogs were in good care.”

About: I have been through a one on one dog training session and also continue to work with trainers to better communicate with our sweet friends. I have a flexible schedule which I make for myself. This means that I will be able to schedule time to visit with your pup. When introducing myself to a new pet I will allow the animal to approach me. I take things slow. I have learned yelling is not usually the best way to resolve an issue with dogs. Yelling is the dogs encouragement. Instead I approach with a calm demeanor. Through training I have learned that it's best to allow new dogs the chance to establish who is in charge while monitoring the pups' actions and interceding when the situation seems to be escalading. This said, I believe the best approach to introducing dogs is to make sure both dogs are leashed. In my own home, play time is supervised for a few minutes to make sure that both dogs are eager to play. If it seems like one is not up to playing then I will separate the dogs. I am firm but not mean. Just as you would with a child when I give a command I will stand firm in my command till it is obeyed. I immediately reward my dogs when the command has been followed. I definitely treat my dogs as my children. They get lots and lots of kisses, and are most definitely spoiled. I always try to do fun things with them like taking them for rides or going on hikes. They get birthday parties and specialty birthday cookies. They also get gifts for holidays like Christmas and Valentine's Day. They go to the vet every year for their shots and examine. They get the medicine they need to keep them from heart worms and fleas. They also take supplements to help with their digestion and anxiety (both of my pups are rescues and have had some difficult experiences).

“Lisa is WONDERFUL, she just loves on my animals as if they were her own. One way I know my babies are in good hands is by their reactions to a sitter. My fur babies LOVE Lisa and just love on her every time she visits! They love seeing her come through the door and want her constant attention. I give Lisa 5+ stars!”

“Kaitlyn was great. She called me when my chihuahua was hiding under the bed and coaxed her out with treats. She sent me lots of pictures of her visit. We would definitely use her again.”

“Emma has a big heart for taking care of animals. She loves dogs and knows a lot about walking them and keeping them safe and happy on their walks. She genuinely loves and cares for them. She is always kind to my dogs and follows my wants and wishes for what they can eat and when they need to go out and come inside. She is very educated about how to handle big dogs and works well with them. She also has experience with older dogs and is patient and gentle with them. I love to see her interacting with animals. I trust her.”
