Cat Sitting in Whiteford

About: Since 2014, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and pawsonalities — from shy kittens to spicy dogs, plus chickens, bunnies, and even a hermit crab. 🐶🐱🐔🐰🐟 Fostering over 200 pets has made me fluent in body language (pet edition). Whether your pet wants snuggles, space, or serious playtime, I tailor each visit to what makes them happiest. I’m comfortable giving medications* and teaching basic obedience. I also make the experience great for you! I’m a reliable communicator, send plenty of cute pics, and if your pet’s up for it, you’ll come home to a handmade surprise “from your pet.” *If medications are required to be given an additional fee will be negotiated and applied before the booking is confirmed. Pet care fits naturally into my routine — it’s something I genuinely enjoy! I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule that allows me to adapt as needed. I am able to care for about a dozen pets per week and I only book one house-sitting family at a time to ensure each pet gets my full attention. Walks and drop-ins can easily be added into my day, especially Monday through Friday. Pet care is both relaxing and rewarding for me — I love building relationships with the pets I visit, and I think they look forward to our time together just as much as I do! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, starting by learning their pet’s established routine to ensure they feel comfy and happy. I gather all the important info — like vet contacts, emergency numbers, and where cleaning supplies live (just in case!). I’m a tidy sitter too: I take out the trash and scoop up any yard “presents” to keep things fresh. Most importantly, I listen closely to both owner and pet to discover what makes each furry friend feel safe and loved, then tailor my care to their unique personality.

About: My Dad introduced me to Rover! He cares for 13 regular clients and taught me everything I know about pet sitting. I had a dog for most of my childhood and lost him just recently, in January. I love caring for pets of all shapes and sizes with all their needs. It's great having energy in the house again! I am in school part-time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (some Fridays) till 2pm. I work evenings as a swim instructor, so afternoon check ins and playdates are available! Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays are my big free days! I do not live alone! I'm housed by my wonderful parents who are willing to assist in whatever way (if needed). I have lots of spare time between school and work for check-ins and walks! Our house used to be home to my childhood doggy not too long ago, we still have bowls and toys they can play with! Walks are common in our neighborhood because fences are not. I have used harnesses, collars, and control collars in walks so I have experience. I will customize my care to you and your pets need, any type of feed wet or dry, any type of personality, no two pets are the same!

“Aria was on time and communicated quickly and efficiently for both the meet & greet and her first drop in visit with my 7mo puppy. She provided a detailed update at the end of visit and included some of my new favorite photos of my dog! She’s easy to coordinate with and I’ll definitely be booking recurring visits :)”

“Dakota did several drop in visits for my two dogs and they love her so much! She’s the absolute best. I will definitely book her again. It was nice to go away and not feel stressed about leaving my dogs at a kennel.”

“Colleen took wonderful care of my cranky cat and aggressive angelfish over the weekend. I felt much better leaving them in her hands rather than leaving them alone for the weekend. Thank you Colleen for the care you gave them.”

About: I stand out because of my lifelong experience growing up with animals of all kinds, including horses, cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I also worked at a pet hotel, where I cared for puppies and anxious dogs who missed their families, so I understand how to keep pets calm, comfortable, and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments and needs. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, giving me even more hands-on experience with a wide range of animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily schedule because I’m currently taking a year off before starting grad school. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care. I’m available Monday through Sunday, and can accommodate visits throughout the day to fit your pet’s needs. I provide care through in-home visits, as I do not host pets in my own home due to my cat not being comfortable around new animals. In my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping pets in their familiar environment and routine to reduce stress. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, and any needed exercise. I’m also very attentive to their behavior and comfort, especially for shy or anxious pets, and always make sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Kendall was wonderful. She even was able to pet our feral cat, who is a bit shy. We definitely will be using her again.”

Patient, and quiet loving home with pet's needs as my top priority. Can take them for car rides or snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie. I can pick your pet up and drop them off if needed.

“Laura was a fantastic sitter for our fur baby Scout. She took great care of him with his meals, playtime and walks. She connected to him and went above and beyond when our power went out temporarily in the house , contacting us immediately with honest concern for his welfare and comfort. In addition, she noted a sore on his underbelly and alerted us with pictures and offered to take to the vet if needed. Will definitely request Laura for all of our coverage!”

“Mason was exceptional. She allowed me to book her literally last minute and said she could visit the pups without me home (emergency work trip). She was prompt and took great care of my pups, asking me any questions she had to best care for them. She sent me plenty of pics and the pups loved her!”

I’m also a stay-at-home mama to my daughter—so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve.

Whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra patience, I meet them where they are, giving them love, attention, and playtime so they feel happy and at ease while you’re away 🤍

“I have three elderly dogs, two of which did not have not had a good past. They are fearful of people for good reason. They instantly trusted Mary. I have never before been able to go away without worrying the entire trip. She has truly enhanced our lives, already booked her a second time.”

About: I've taken care of pets for as long as I can remember, from farm animals to rodents, cats and dogs, reptiles & fish and even a deer! I've taken care of senior pets and very young pets! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine because I work part time - a couple hours here and there. Other then that I'm home with my 10 month old baby boy who is excited to meet your pets! I do have my front yard fenced in but it is not the whole yard. I have a big back yard with a field behind! I can crate your dog if needed or just let them hang out with me while they’re here!

“Trisha was amazing. Went above and beyond. Loved her enthusiasm and all of the photos. I know our pup was well cared for”
