About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and I take pride in offering care that goes beyond the basics. With years of experience caring for cats of all kinds, I’ve developed a keen sense for what makes them tick and what keeps them content. I’m dedicated to creating a comfortable, stress-free environment that feels like home, even when you’re away. I pay close attention to the details that matter, from ensuring their favorite napping spot is just right to maintaining a clean and inviting litter box. I’m mindful of their daily routines and preferences, whether it’s sticking to a specific feeding schedule or offering the perfect balance of play and quiet time. What I truly enjoy is building a connection with each cat I care for, taking the time to understand their unique quirks and needs. My approach is always gentle and patient, aiming to make your cat feel safe and well-loved. Knowing that your cat is happy and comfortable allows you to enjoy peace of mind, confident that they’re in the care of someone who genuinely understands and cherishes them. I have the flexibility to be home which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to caring for pets. My schedule is adaptable, so I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine, whether it’s spending quality time with your cat, ensuring they’re well-fed, or just being present to keep them company. This setup not only allows me to provide consistent care but also ensures that your pet has someone attentive and reliable around. Caring for pets in my home is something I take very seriously, ensuring that every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I create a warm and welcoming environment tailored to each pet's needs, whether it's setting up a cozy space for them to relax or keeping their feeding and play schedules consistent. I make sure they have plenty of fresh water, clean litter boxes, and engaging activities to keep them happy and stimulated. I also spend quality time with each pet, offering companionship, play, and affection to make them feel right at home.
“Thank you for taking care of Misfit! Greatly appreciated!!”
About: Hi, my name is Sukran. I am 26 years old. I’ve been caring for cats for over 4 years. I used to have two cats, but now I have one sweet companion at home. I absolutely love spending time with cats — whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just hanging out together. Being around them brings me so much joy, and I’m confident in understanding their needs and making them feel safe and loved. My home is always available for pet care, and I can provide a safe and loving environment. I work 4 days a week, but I’m always able to send regular photo and video updates to keep you connected with your pet. Even while working, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, comfort, and care throughout the day. We already share our home with a lovely cat, so it’s a pet-friendly and safe environment. We also have a secure, enclosed garden where we let our cat enjoy supervised outdoor time — and we’d be happy to do the same for your pet! If needed, we can take extra precautions like using an AirTag or a harness to ensure their safety during outdoor walks or playtime.
About: I've loved animals my whole life and have been around cats in one way or another for most of my life. I grew up with multiple cats and I've been taking care of my cat Cole since adopting her in 2018 as a kitten. I've been volunteering at a cat shelter for several years as a socializer and love visiting as many cats as I can when I'm there (I always stay longer than my shift). I love them dearly, always want what's best for them, and would treat your cat with the same care concern I'd treat for my own. I'd be happy to provide drop-in visits for feedings/etc or to provide your cat with some play/social time! I love meeting new cats and taking in their unique quirks! While I've had a lot more exposure to felines, I'd also happily walk/spend time with your dog. I've had a lot of good experiences with them as well - me and my landlady's dog are good pals! I'm between jobs at the moment, so I am fairly flexible in terms of availability with some notice. Sunday is my day for volunteering, though I can potentially swap my shift in an urgent situation. I'm happy to arrange for shorter/longer visits on single/recurring basis. Can assist with feedings, playtime or just hang out and provide them a loving lap! Also happy to provide photo/video updates of your fur babies to help put your mind(s) at ease!
“My dog was nervous about hanging out with a new person but Sean was so patient with her and she warmed up beautifully. His experience as a trainer showed. He communicated well. I will happily have him back next time I need.”
About: I love all animals and will care for them whether they are healthy, have disabilites or have any needs that need to be cared for. I am working part time but would like to eventually become more full time to gain experience to go into the field of caring for animals as a vet tech. Follow the rules of the house and the owner. Make sure each pet is treated with the care and patience that is needed for their care.

About: I had a maltipoo who I cared for for 13 years so I am confident in caring for pups like her. I’ve also had to dog-sit some friends’ dogs who’d I bring for walks, play in the yard, and fill food and water bowls for them while gone! I generally work 3 days a week so I am looking to care and walk dogs for a couple other days during my week to fill my days. I will make sure to close all doors that I have entered and make sure the dog is back in the house before leaving. I will make sure I put everything back to where they were and fill any bowls that I am instructed to make sure the dogs are comfortable until their owners or next person comes to see them!
