Cat Sitting in Yankee Jims

“Remi is a wonderful care taker. After our initial meeting, I knew she was the right person to care for my senior dog. She even visited with my gecko. Remi will be my go-to person for future needs. I strongly recommend her!”

“We had Nicole watch our two cats (one a new playful kitty and the other an older cat who was quite sad after losing her companion weeks before) for 5 days as well as do some watering in our gardens. She and her partner did a fantastic job. We were worried leaving the cats but she was easy to communicate with, sent regular updates, and took care of everything that was asked of her. We would definitely use her again to care for our cats!”

About: Hi there! I’m Alisa, a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter who adores spending time with dogs and cats. I specialize in making pets feel at ease and comfortable, no matter their temperament or needs. With my gentle approach and keen attention to detail, I ensure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, cuddles, or a walk in the park, I’m here to provide excellent care tailored to your pet’s unique personality. I understand how important your pets are to you, and you can trust that I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Let’s work together to make sure your best friend has a positive and stress-free experience while in my care! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to learn more about your pet and their needs! I work remotely and therefore can spend time with your pets at your home. This provides a steady presence for your precious animal(s) while you're away, and also ensures ongoing time to feed, walk, play, and cuddle with your pets. I am a trusted housesitter, having cared for many animals over the years (both my own and others).

“Melissa went above and beyond during her house sitting for me. She’s communicative, reliable, and she even cleaned my apartment for me, which was extremely kind and appreciated. I trust my cats with her and I would book again with Melissa in a heartbeat.”

About: I am a compassionate life long animal lover. I’ve worked in animal hospitals with large boarding facilities, as the lead kennel technician, as well as being a veterinary assistant. I spent my days playing with and caring for other people's animals. I am able to give medications and tend to special needs animals. Though I left my hospital job when I moved here at the beginning of the pandemic, I've chosen to continue to work with animals because it is something that comes naturally to me & I feel that it's important to love what you do. I look forward to meeting new furry friends! I now have a fairly open schedule so I am mostly free to work with new clients to meet their pets needs and keep a consistent routine 💜 I am happy to hang out and get cozy with animals that aren’t up to outside playtime, and I love being outside with those that do have more energy! My parents currently have a puppy and I visit daily to have play time and help wear him out a bit (bc it’s so fun!).

About: I've been taking care of animals for a little over 5 years including my own animals. I have 1 dog and 1 Guinea pig. I used to volunteer for Mollys Militia which was animal foster/adoption center. During my volunteer hours I would make sure the dogs were fed and had water and were always in good condition living their best life. I am currently looking for a at home job to help with the convenience of staying home with my dog and caring for every other animal that would come into my care. I have a fenced yard that my dog loves to run around in. My dog is friendly towards other dogs. He is also neutered and well trained.

“She was reliable and cared about our cat. I would recommend her.”

“Ahh Ashley you are amazing! I wish I could take yo with me to San Diego. Every day it was so fun to see the pictures and the videos! You went above and beyond and our cats love you just as much as we do. Thank you so so much and I hope you get to pet and play with many other pets.”

About: Having to leave my own dogs at home while I'm at work, I understand the struggle. I will give your furry friend the care and attention that they miss while you are away. I'm a professional horse farrier. When I'm not out shoeing horses I'm always training my own dogs or friends dogs. I have always had a love for dog walking and spending quality time with animals. If I'm not shoeing horses, I will be available to your furry friends. I currently am part time and get a new schedule once a week. Contact me and I'll let you know what days I can come out. As I have said before, I understand the struggle, stress and worry of leaving your pet at home while you're at work. I have fully experienced with my own dogs especially in our high fire danger area. I will give your critters love and attention while you are away.

About: I love and have kept dogs of all breeds and ages. I know when to cuddle, discipline, give space and to administer medications when needed. I have a very flexible schedule we both can work with. My work allows me to make my own schedule so I have time to devote to something I love to do. I have two dogs over 10 years old, and I walk a golden pup. I know what’s needed for their best care by communicating with their vet and doing my own research.

“Meaghan is a great pet sitter. My cat was happy when we returned and the house was clean and orderly. I would definitely like to have Meaghan pet sit again.”

About: I grew up around dogs my entire life, we’ve always had various pets in our household from bunnies, rats, ferrets to German Shepard’s, pit bulls and chihuahuas. I’m always home on the weekends, usually just chilling in bed watching movies, or go for a nice walk on the beach or in downtown. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! *Please do not book with me if your dog cannot be left alone during the day. I work from 6a-3p during the week and I have a small apartment so I cannot have them barking the entire time I’m gone. Thank you for understanding* I do work during the weekdays but I work close to my home so I can always come home on my lunch to give midday potty breaks if needed. I have a consistent schedule and am usually home by 3/4pm. Dogs are kept separated when I am not home and I also have 24/7 camera on my apartment so I can always keep an eye on the dogs when I’m not there.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I could remember. I have had dogs my whole life who I feed, water and walk! Along with taking care of friends, family and neighbors furry friends too! I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals! Im very flexible with your needs/wants! In additional i make time to feed, water, walk and play with my puppies as well! I have a big fenced yard at home! When i’m taking care of other fur babies I make sure they eat their food and drink their water! I also play with them each time I go over and spend a minimum of an hour to make sure they are happy! I love meeting new furry friends!

“Mikayla did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. During our meet and great she also met my dog and was very knowledgeable about behavior. Very pleased!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 5. I have a degree in animal science, specializing in horses. I have a one year old Labrador named Kilala who I already take on walks. Let me add your pet to our adventures. I just started a new job. I work Monday-Friday half days. Usually unavailable on weekends unless I have plenty of notice. If the request if for house sitting your dog needs to get along with mine I want to take your dog on walks/hikes. I already have my own dog so she needs to come with me if I am house sitting and ideally she would join in on all walks. Please no pets that are aggressive towards other dogs or people.

About: We got our first family dog when I was five and I’ve loved dogs ever since! I regularly pet sit and house sit for friends, family, and people I've caregive for. It's been one of the best jobs I've ever had. I've spent a lot of time around puppies so I do have some skills in puppy training and use positive reinforcement with treats as my personal preference for training. I also have a lot of experience with cats and have one myself. I really love taking pictures/photography so I'll be sure to send you quality pictures of your fur babies while I'm with them! I do pet sitting/house sitting part time but my schedule is really flexible since I work mainly from home. I'm free most weekdays and weekends! More than likely, I will walk your dog in your neighborhood. But I do love to go on long walks/hikes so if you're open to doing a 60 minute walk or over night stay, I'll make sure to take your dog somewhere fun whether it's to a local dog park or to the river!

About: I was raised from birth with and by dogs. I was raised on a farm with a large pack of dogs of all sizes and types, and that helped me to understand their body language, their need for respect and how to handle them. I have helped in training over 15+ dogs in crate training, potty training, general tricks, and manners. I have also helped pet parents learn more about how to communicate with, support and understand their pets. I am also a mother of 4 that homeschools leaving my schedule more open to the needs and engagement of my visiting pets. I am a stay at home mom and am available 7 days a week unless specified at that time. I intend to walk the pups throughout the day as well as play sessions if the pup enjoys playing. I have a large land that the pups would need to stay leashed in while on walks, but also have a play yard that is perfect for free range play and relaxing. I have a big home that they can find themselves in relaxing with my pup, as well as an outdoor “giant dog house”, that the pups can also lounge in during the day.

“Megan did great with our pup while we were gone. Great communication sent us our pictures as requested and even played with our little guy. We will be using her anytime we go out of town ?”
