Cat Sitting Watkins

“Maria did a great job taking care of my cat. This was my first experience with her petting-sitting service but definitely won't be my last! She was consistent with her visit time, sent regular updates and even vacuumed the floor in the bedroom to clean up the litter! I so appreciated her attention to the details.”

“Madison was amazing! I have a crazy schedule and she was accommodating with a virtual explanation of how to care for my cats and she takes the best pictures! My cat that usually keeps to herself even came around for her!”

About: I am an animal lover! I have a dog named piper she's a small little angel and my life hasn't been the same since I've had her. I want people to feel comfortable leaving their furry bundles of love with someone who can love and protect them! I take the dogs I am watching to the dog park at my apartment where they can run and play. Also, if interested I can bathe your dog before he or she comes home. Your dog will have a blast with many toys and walks and naps on the couch! I am a currently not working so I’ll be at home all day with my fur babies and hopefully yours. I have a very flexible schedule I always keep the dogs I am watching on a leash unless it is a fenced backyard. I’m always paying attention and capturing cute moments.

About: Over a year of experience with pet sitting through PetButler, caring for all types of animals. Walking and drop in visits were done. Dog daycare experience as well. Good communication and strive to provide the best experience for your pet. I am available throughout the week, although I am a student the only conflict I have is Mondays around 4-5. So very open during the week and some weekend availability. At your home I will follow instructions carefully to ensure the safety of your pet. Whether that’s using a leash, harness, or keeping them in a fenced in area.

“Janel did a great job of caring for my two cats. They were healthy and happy when I returned. I will definitely use Janel again.”

“Shelly took wonderful care of my cat Milo when I was out of town for a wedding! She was super communicative with me and patient while he warmed up to her and I could tell Milo was well taken care of upon my return. I will definitely book with her again!”

About: Hi! My name is Lucy, and I'm a current veterinary student at the University of Illinois. I have previously pet sat for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes and would love to care for your pet while you are away. I originally started pet sitting in high school (about 6 years ago) to gain animal care experience. Since then, I have worked at kennels and vet clinics and am learning new skills every day at school! I'm hoping to pet sit while I'm home during school breaks, so I am pretty flexible when it comes to my availability. I'll do my best to accommodate you and your pet's needs! Because of my family dog at home, I am currently only offering drop in visits, walks, care, etc. at your home. This is to guarantee the health and safety of all animals involved. While pet sitting, I love to keep you updated with photos and notes! If I notice anything at all, I will reach out to you so you can stay informed and make the best decision on how you would like me to proceed with the care of your pet.

“Very conscientious and good with my dog”

About: I have been an animal lover since the day I was born. My mom’s nickname for me growing up was Snow White because I would make friends with the animals everywhere I go. I work full time as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic where I work with animals 5 days a week and find work on the side house and cat sitting for family, friends, and mutual. As the designated “responsible mom friend” amongst my peers I’m lucky enough to have been honored with the task of looking after multiple pets, homes, and apartments throughout the years taking care of peoples furry family members they sadly have to leave behind when out of town and the homes they live in just to keep a responsible eye on things while their owners are away. I’m a type A, an Aquarius and an ENFJ As mentioned I do work full time at a Vet clinic. I get 2 weekends and 2 weekdays off a month. My schedule is typically either 7:15am-4:30pm with a break from 12-1pm or 10:30am-7:30pm with a break from 1-2pm. I am willing stop by to perform pet care during my breaks at work depending on the distance. I get my schedule out a month in advance and typically schedule my personal (trips, obligations, appointments etc.) a month ahead of time as well I have experience administering medication, feeding, changing litter box, dog walking, and of course giving lots of love and affection and play time to pets.

“Jennifer watched my 3 cats in her home for 3 weeks while I listed my house. She picked them up from my home which made it very easy. She took great care of them. They did amazing. They transitioned from her home into my new home with ease. I’ve already recommended her to my friends and would definitely use her again.”

About: Hi! I'm Abby, a registered nurse who knows how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet family member. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply a calm and reliable presence, I'm committed to providing attentive, compassionate care. I've cared for animals my entire life and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable, whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medications, burning off energy with play, or offering extra patience to shy or anxious pets. My nursing background has strengthened my attention to detail, communication, and ability to stay calm in unexpected situations. I work three 12-hour overnight shifts each week as a registered nurse, which gives me several full days off for pet care. My work schedule is set in advance, so I always know my availability and only accept bookings that I can fully commit to. As a cat owner myself, caring for my pet is part of my daily routine. Before every shift, I make sure she's fed, has fresh water, clean litter, and plenty of enrichment. When I get home, I spend quality time playing with her and giving her lots of attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I'll follow your pet's routine just as carefully as I do my own. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, their safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's needs and follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, litter box care, and any special preferences. In my home, boarded cats will have a clean, calm environment with plenty of toys, fresh water, cozy places to relax, and lots of attention. I do have a friendly resident cat, so I only accept boarding for cats that are comfortable being around other cats. I introduce pets thoughtfully and always prioritize everyone's safety and well-being. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I'll make sure doors and windows are secure, keep things clean and tidy, and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Rachel was great! Thank you so much for watching our dogs.”

“Olivia is WONDERFUL!!! She is very attentive and communicative. We definitely felt that she cared for Indy in a very personal way. We would definitely recommend her to watch any and all of your animals..”

About: I've been walking dogs for over 8 years now, and honestly, it's become one of my favorite parts of the week! I currently walk for a few regular clients on a weekly basis, and I love getting to know each dog's personality and routine. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I have 2 cats myself, so I've got a soft spot for all kinds of pets! Bouncy puppies who need to burn off some energy, senior dogs who just want a slower and gentler pace, cats who want to play, I am here for it all! I pay attention to what each pet actually needs, whether that's a specific walking route, extra care around leash reactivity, or just keeping things calm and comfortable for a cat while their family's away. I also house sit for 4 different families and their pets, and I'm looking to take on more! Between that and my dog walking clients, I'm used to keeping different routines, feeding schedules, and personalities straight, and making sure every pet feels just as comfortable as they would with their own family home. I also work full-time at Orangetheory Fitness, so I'm active, punctual, and reliable! I show up on time and give your dog every pet my full attention, every single time. My schedule actually works out perfectly for pet care! I coach at Orangetheory from 4am to 10am, so my mornings start early, but that means I've got the whole rest of my day wide open. I walk pets before my shift and swing by again right after, and honestly, I build my whole schedule around whatever your pet needs, not the other way around! The only thing I plan around is making it home to feed my own two cats, but as long as I'm in town and you give me a little heads up, I'm all in, whenever you need me! And since my afternoons and evenings are so open, your pet isn't getting some rushed, in-and-out visit. They're getting real playtime, real love, and someone who's actually excited to be there! Although I don't offer pet sitting in my own home due to my own two boys, I'll gladly watch your pets in their own environment! I like keeping them in their own home to make sure they're still comfortable in their space, and it gives you the peace of mind of knowing they're exactly where you left them! When I'm in your home, I stick closely to whatever routine your pet is used to, feeding times, walk schedules, medications, favorite toys, all of it. I'm not just popping in to check a box, I spend real time with your pet, whether that's playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company so they don't feel like their world flipped upside down while you're gone. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, keeping things tidy and secure the whole time I'm there. And no matter what, you'll always get updates and photos while you're away, so you can see firsthand that your pet (and home) are in great hands!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 18 years and truly love spending time with animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, a puppy, or a senior, I’ll provide dependable care, lots of attention, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work full-time in the Genetics Lab at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. My schedule allows me to provide pet care after work on weekdays and with flexible availability on weekends. I’m committed to being dependable, communicative, and making sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

About: I have grown up with animals all of my life. I am used to taking my two dogs on walks every evening and am comfortable with giving pets medication. I have watched pets of all sizes and ages and believe my flexible schedule would make me the perfect pet sitting candidate. I am a homebody and love spending extra time with your pet when I’m available to do so! I have my own business so my schedule is very flexible. I am available at almost anytime of the day and can easily work from home (weekends may vary). I have two dogs of my own, so I am used to a strict pet schedule as far as feeding, potty breaks, play time, etc. I am also used to sleeping with dogs and walking/playing with them regularly.

About: I currently have one dog, two cats, and one bunny so I have experience with all kinds of animals! I grew up with dogs my whole life and did a lot of house sitting/dog sitting throughout high school. I absolutely love playing, walking, and spending time with animals. I am currently going to school to become a veterinary technician because of my passion for animals! I’ve dealt with every age before from puppies to senior dogs, so I’m no stranger to clean up and administering medication. I guarantee I will treat your animals with the love and care they deserve! I work part time currently but will be having a lot more availability as I go back to school. I should be available everyday as times may vary. I always take proper precautions when taking care of animals, especially outside. Depending on owners preference, I will always make sure they are with me in the safety of a yard or on a leash. They will always remain with me and in my sight.
