Pet Sitting Westville

About: Caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home that always had two dogs at a time, and before moving out, my family had raised six wonderful dogs together. From energetic pups to older companions, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to care for dogs through different stages of life. I currently share my home with two special-needs cats, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Managing medications, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm, safe environment are all things I take seriously. My primary goal when caring for your pet is simple: I want them to feel happy, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for owners. I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every animal with gentleness, respect, and the kind of attention I would want for my own pets. I work remotely in IT for a nonprofit organization, which gives me a very flexible weekday schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having some furry company during the week. Whether that means a midday walk to break up my workday or a fuzzy companion nearby while I’m at my desk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around walks, feeding times, medication needs, or check-ins. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can expect consistent updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your routines and instructions carefully. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and house rules closely so your pet’s world feels as consistent and familiar as possible while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly. If your pet stays in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. They will have their own dedicated space in my finished basement office that is clean, hazard-free, and separate from my cats. This allows visiting pets to relax without feeling overwhelmed, and ensures everyone stays safe and stress-free. The space includes a comfortable couch just for them, plenty of room to stretch out, and a calm environment away from household noise. I’m home during the day, so they’ll receive regular supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, balanced with quiet time to rest.

“Jen was an exceptional sitter for my cat! She was great at communicating and kept our apartment clean and tidy. On top of the normal care I asked for her to do, she went above and beyond by cleaning my cat’s face and brushing him. I loved that she sent videos during her visits. I would definitely book with her again!”

About: Since childhood, taking in and rehabilitating stray animals has been a huge part of my life. No matter the breed, my goal is to provide high quality care and love. I’ve provided plenty of dog sitting and cat care to friends and family over the years. I am a travel nurse (originally from florida) and I am desperately missing my fur babies back home! I’m hoping this will provide the opportunity for some quality time with other people’s fur babies to fill the gap temporarily <3 I currently work 3 days per week as a travel nurse, leaving my 4 days off open to spend time with your babies! I have no other obligations or duties during my off days, so that time is strictly dedicated to your pet. I do not currently have any of my own pets in my home nor any children. I am able to provide several walks for exercise and outside time. My home is very quiet and calm, providing a safe space for your pet with minimal stress.

“Jess was available with only a few days notice and was very prompt with all responses while scheduling. While last minute isn’t how I like to roll, our holiday plans changed unexpectedly. She did a great job with my instructions caring for our senior cat and left everything in perfect order. I’d recommend her without hesitation!”

“Alyssa was a great pet-sitter for our 3 cats. One of our cats needs medication and she was able to successfully give it to her each visit. She also went above and beyond in caring for all of our cats and spent extra time with them while we were gone. They were very happy when we got home! I would definitely book Alyssa again.”

Dave F.

“Our two cats just had another incredible visit with their favorite sitter, Emily :) She is great at balancing playtime, cuddle sessions, and thorough care. Our two cats have gone through a range of various medical needs this summer and Emily has been fantastic at helping keep everyone happy and healthy while we've been away. We love having her as our sitter and can't recommend her highly enough!”

“Carrie was a phenomenal caretaker for my kitty Oscar. She provided great updates, and he really seemed to like her. She also had a knack for capturing photos of him in particularly funny poses! I returned to find him happy and content, and I would absolutely use her services again.”

Caitlin B.

“Catie was excellent. We booked last minute for dog-walking, because our regular sitter canceled last minute. Catie met with Gnocchi beforehand and was very professional and reassuring. No issues, always very prompt with check-in notes and photos. Would absolutely book with Catie again.”

“Aidan took amazing care of our pets while we were away. The attention to detail was outstanding. I appreciate his flexibility and excellent care not only of our pets, but he looked out for our delivered packages and mail without being asked. We were very satisfied with his services and will definitely use him again.”
