5/5 stars. Sally exceeded my expectations in every way as a cat sitter. I was nervous to leave my cat for six days with someone new but Sally eased my worry with professionalism, friendliness and punctuality — not to mention her talent and knowledge in taking care of cats. I am grateful I found Sally to look after my pet.

About: I have always had a strong passion and love for animals. I worked in a veterinary clinic for a months and I absolutely loved it! I have a dog and a cat of my own, i walk my dog daily and i take care of my animals every morning and night. I make sure they have food, water, a clean litter box, and enough love. I make sure that they are taken care of food wise, bathroom, toys, treats, and I give them enough love and attention that they deserve.

About: I have a funny farm on 10 acres outside of Shueyville. My dogs run freely but I’m happy to keep your pet on a leash as I live by a busy road. I pride myself on taking care of your fur baby like I care for mine. I am home full time so am very attentive and able to have a flexible schedule to meet your needs. I enjoy going for walks and it’s always double the enjoyment when I have a walking buddy! My guests are treated with the same care that I provide for my own animals and of course I am always happy to accommodate specific needs or requests as well.

About: I have had and cared for pets most my life, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and other rodents. I currently simultaneously take care of a black lab and border collie frequently. I am recently retired and have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I care for a black lab and a border collie on a regular basis, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs that need both physical activity and attention. Walks, playtime, and keeping them on their routine are a natural part of their care. I’ve also cared for cats, rabbits, and other small animals, so I understand that each pet has different needs—whether that’s active play, quiet companionship, or simply a calm, consistent presence. Making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and happy fits seamlessly into my everyday life. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment, whether in my home or a client’s home, and I follow routines and instructions closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s normal schedule, including feeding, exercise, and any special care. In my home, pets receive close supervision, structure, and plenty of attention. I stay alert to behavior and surroundings to ensure pets are safe at all times. My goal is dependable, attentive care so both pets and owners feel completely at ease.

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have pets of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines and care. I also help friends and family by checking in on their pets, including feeding, playtime, walks, and making sure they’re safe and comfortable. I’m attentive, compassionate, and make sure each pet gets the care and attention they need. I also provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Pet care fits into my routine during the day and evenings, and I plan my schedule to make sure I can provide consistent, reliable visits. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walking during midday and evenings on weekdays. I make sure each visit is focused on your pet’s needs, whether that’s feeding, playtime, or just spending time with them so they feel comfortable while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, medications if needed, and any specific care requests. I’m respectful of your home, make sure doors are secure, and ensure your pet is safe at all times. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.
