Top rated Afton cat sitters
“Krista is by far the absolute BEST drop in sitter I have ever had. She kept me informed of everything she encountered and saw every day after each visit, she took lots of pictures and let me know what she did that day and how my babies were doing. I really really really got lucky finding her. 2 of my 3 cats are very shy to strangers and they were visiting with her by her 2nd and 3rd visit, I believe that says a lot about her and how comfortable she made them feel. I plan on using her forever if I am able too. If I could give her 100 stars I would!”
About: What sets me apart from other house sitters is my patient, loving approach to every dog I meet. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds—from tiny Chihuahuas to large German Shepherds—and I understand how to tailor care to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m confident in basic training and redirecting unwanted behavior using positive reinforcement. With enough treats and consistency, I truly believe there’s nothing a dog can’t learn! Pet care fits naturally into my daily life—me and my roommate share two cats, Lennox and Sylvia, and they definitely keep us on our toes! Lennox is always digging through the trash like he’s starving (even though they get two servings of wet food a day plus dry food), so I’m often cleaning up his little adventures. They’re totally spoiled, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love playing with them using lasers and feather toys—they’re a blast and bring a lot of joy and routine to my day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding instructions carefully, make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention, and keep an eye on their behavior in case anything seems off. Whether it’s giving meds, scooping the litter box, or just hanging out on the couch for some cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how much animals thrive on routine and love, so I make sure they get both!
“She did amazing taking care of our 3cats. Always showed up when she said she would. Sent pics and videos every vist. Will be definitely using her again”
“Absolutely wonderful! Would definitely use her again! Thank you so much!!”
“She did amazing with our dogs! We will definitely continue using her services!”
“Olivia is so kind and attentive to our cat. She really loves animals and it shows. She’s reliable and responsible so we always request her for our pet sitting. Our cat comes running to see her. She is the best.”
“Great sitter! She communicated very well during Julian’s drop in visit. Highly recommend!”
“Cassie was a breeze to work with, and very responsive to my messages. She asked follow-up questions to my care instructions. She arrived on time every evening and sent a photo of her visit. Will definitely use her services again! When I arrived home my pet was happy, relaxed, and healthy”
About: Have you ever met someone who just seems to attract animals? Well, that’s me. I was raised around dogs, including breeding Cocker Spaniels and German Shepherds, junior handling a Weimaraner and training for obedience and for service dogs. These days I’m a dedicated cat mama with a crazy Corgi who thinks she's a cat! I've recently had to give up transporting furry friends all over the country and since I'll be home for the foreseeable future, I'm available to take care of the local fur babies. I can't board dogs in my home but cats are welcome. In fact, they'll have their own room, complete with a cat tree by the window so they can bask in the morning son and watch the dog run in her little yard. I can house sit and keep your furry children company or just drop>n and visit a couple times a day. If your dog needs a playmate while you're away I know a Corgi who is always willing. I was on the road for most of the month but I had to give that up - at least for now. I'm not working on anything else so I have plenty of time to play with your babies while you're away. I have a young Corgi and an older cat, both fixed and friendly. Right now I have an extra bedroom setup for the cat and I keep the Corgi contained with a baby gate. Cats boarded in my home will be in the bedroom at all times and my cat will just have to take his naps in the living room. Unless you give me permission for me to bring my dog to your house to play, she's not invited.
“Roxana is truly exceptional! She did everything we asked while taking incredible care our kitties. She kept us informed and sent lots of pictures. She exceeded our expectations.”
“Caitlin did awesome with our boys who are known to be a bit on the wilder side. She took great care of them and updated us lots! I’ll definitely request she watch them again if we need it.”
