Cat Sitting Altamont

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10, including six Chihuahuas, a Pit Bull, and now a Border Collie and Australian Shepherd. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and affection. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands on experience and genuine love for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time while completing my RBT certification, which gives me a flexible schedule and availability to take on pet-sitting opportunities. I’m looking to fill some of my extra hours by providing dependable, attentive care for pets. I’m available for overnight stays and can work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m responsible, reliable, and committed to making sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I provide patient, loving care while keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet is used to.

“Kenya is attentive, friendly, and has genuine interest in providing the best care for your pet. You can tell that she is passionate about animals and providing your animal with comfort while you are away.”

About: I have loved and lived with cats my entire life, at one point caring for four at the same time! Because of this, I believe I speak fluent cat. I’ve raised and cared for cats at every stage of life, from kittens to senior cats and sick ones, all with very different needs. I am also skilled at giving cats medication if they are receptive to it. Whether your kitty is super cuddly or spicy and needs their space, your babies are completely safe and understood with me. Beyond caring for your pets, I will be 100% respectful of your home. You can completely trust me to keep your space clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I treat your home and your pets with the utmost care and respect! As a student on summer break, I have an incredibly open and flexible schedule! I am completely free to watch over your pets, drop in for multiple visits throughout the day, or stay overnight to keep them company. Whether your cats love interactive play, brushing, and cuddles, or prefer to just chill from a distance, I meet them where they are. I keep water bowls fresh, clean the litter box daily, and strictly stick to their feeding schedules; which I know is especially crucial for older cats. I'm also completely fine with handling barf cleanup. To give you complete peace of mind, I will stay fully communicative, updating you throughout my visits and sending plenty of daily photo/video updates of your sweet babies.

“Amy was an absolute gem and treated our cat like he was royalty, even though he didn’t need the ego boost :). She was always extremely prompt and thorough with her drop-in visits. She was also very detailed with her report updates and provided lots and lots of photos! Thank you so much Amy for being the best sitter!”

“Sarah took great care of our almost 7 month old GSP puppy Maple during a drop in visit. She has experience with high energy breeds and was totally professional and able to deal with Maple's excited jumping (we're working on it!). She asked all the questions you'd want someone to during the meet and greet, and sent an update and pictures of Maple during the drop in visit.”

About: I have always been around dogs and am comfortable helping dogs of any age, size, and need. Working as a veterinary assistant and earning a degree in animal science has helped me build a strong connection to caring for dogs. I am very comfortable with pets that need an extra level of medical care. I work full time 4 days a week and have a bit of a long commute (I will likely be out of the house 6:00 AM - 7:30 PM Mondays - Wednesdays and Fridays for work). My weekends tend to be more free, though most days I can provide care in the evenings or very early mornings. I am happy to stay in pets’ homes to provide overnight care and housesitting. I can easily get into the pets’ routines and provide other house care as needed.

About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember! My experience caring for pets goes all the way back to childhood, and over the years, I’ve developed a genuine appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of every animal. I believe that building trust is one of the most important parts of caring for a pet. I always take the time to help animals feel comfortable, safe, and loved, whether they’re energetic and playful or a little shy and reserved. I understand that pets are family, and I know how important it is to have someone dependable looking after them while you’re away. My goal is to provide the same level of attention, patience, and affection that I would want for my own pets. As a pilot, I also have volunteer experience with flying shelter animals across the state to reach their new home where they find love and comfort. This experience has helped me learn the best way to keep animals calm through situations that could otherwise be stressful for them. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and making sure they receive the care and companionship they deserve! I currently work full-time in Livermore, with shifts typically running from either 6 AM–2 PM or 10 AM–6 PM. Fortunately, my schedule allows for some flexibility, and I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to find times that work best for everyone! Depending on my work schedule, I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening visits, as well as pet care on my days off. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate their needs while making sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! My home offers a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for supervised outdoor playtime and exploration. We also have two small, friendly dogs who enjoy meeting new furry friends! I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I always take introductions slowly and make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I also respect each pet’s individual needs, whether they love socializing or prefer a quieter environment. When caring for pets in their own homes, I make it a priority to follow their established routines and their owner’s instructions as closely as possible. I believe that consistency, patience, and communication are essential to building trust. I’m also happy to provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands!

“Byrnnye is amazing. You can tell she really loves our Diesel!! Thank you Byrnnye. We will schedule the next one with you when we go on our next trip!!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since 1997; from dogs/cats-reptiles/fish & I was taught to treat them with just as much care, love & respect that you’d give a child. I’m familiar with their care, needs & certain levels of training. That being said, I hope to have the chance to meet yours & care for them while you're away! I currently work from home & have had some extra time on my hands. I recently came across Rover & thought it would be a perfect way to invest my spare time in an intentional/purposeful & financially lucrative way. I can work around most schedules, whether that’s weekends, early mornings or evenings. The best part about animals is that they’re all so different & unique in their own special way; which calls for a different level of care from pet-pet, not 1 animal is the same in my opinion. All that to say, I’m willing to adapt to anything/everything your pet may need while you’re away & hope to hear from you soon!

“Svetlana clearly loves cats and has a spacious apartment that’s great for them to explore. While it could help if they have a few more designated hiding spots, she was thoughtful in helping my cat settle in by finding a cozy spot in her closet, which my cat seems to really enjoy. She was great about sending videos in the first few days, I’d love to see more regular updates throughout the stay, which could make the experience even better. I also really appreciated how she worked with me to stay within my budget. Overall, I’m happy with her care and will definitely use her services again!”

Pashmina S.

“Great with my cat and reasonable priced. Happy she could help me out last minute. Very knowledgeable and gave some good advice to help me keep my cat happy and healthy. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to work with her again”

“Abigael took very good care of our cats and was very accommodating. The cats liked spending time with her as well. Would definitely recommend & use her services again.”

About: A Housesitter across North America for several years now, I have built a wealth of experience with a variety of animals and homes . I worked as a dog sitter and walker in NYC for five years, raised my own puppy from 8 weeks old. Then traveled to the West, housesitting my way across the country from VA to CA, OR and CO. I provide daily photo and video updates of your pets and can make framed prints available to order. I have had pets in the home since I was a child, including birds and hamsters as well as cats, kittens and dogs. I am currently looking for summer work, having worked as a Ski Instructor all winter in Arapahoe Basin. When housesitting, it is my principal job and priority. I do not currently offer care for a pet in my home, unless of course, they are happy living and traveling in my Class C motorhome.

“Jerri did a great job playing with Kianna while my wife and I were out on a long trip. Jerri provided photos and videos to keep our mind at ease that our little elder cat was have fun and had good company”

About: With over six years of hands-on experience in animal care, I bring professional, knowledgeable care to every pet I look after. I have worked in veterinary hospitals and pet boarding facilities, where I’ve been trusted to administer medications, monitor health, and respond calmly to pets’ individual needs. Alongside my clinical background, I also bring strong customer service experience—so pet parents can expect clear communication, reliability, and peace of mind every step of the way. Most importantly, I truly love animals and believe great care should be both safe and fun. Whether it’s medication time, playtime, or cuddle time, your pet will be cared for like family (with plenty of tail wags and happy purrs included). I am currently a full-time student. I have the availability to work around your schedule as you need. I am flexible, and willing to work. I care for pets in my home based on the way you would in yours. I desire to create a seamless transition into a new environment for your pet, allowing for max comfortability. I am very flexible with routines, and desire nothing more than to form long lasting connections with my clients and their furry (or scaly) friends!

About: After taking some time away from pet sitting, I recently moved back home and knew I wanted to start doing something I genuinely missed and loved — caring for animals! I’ve always had a special connection with dogs and love how much personality and emotion they’re able to express without saying a word. I have years of experience caring for my own pets as well as pets through Rover, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, feeding schedule, potty needs, energy level, and any special care they may require. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or would rather cuddle up and get belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I’m patient, affectionate, responsible, and always pay close attention to changes in behavior or anything that seems out of the ordinary. After all, they’re family members, too, and they deserve all the love, attention, and care we can give them. I’ll treat your pet with the same kindness and care I would want someone to give my own!

About: I am Guang, aka Mia. As a teacher and lifelong animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I only take one client at a time to ensure full attention and care. I have a 4-year-old black and white Border Collie girl who is playful, gentle, and very well-trained. She never makes a mess at home and enjoys her daily runs and ball games in the park with her dog friends. I’ve been around animals literally my whole life — growing up, our family always had pets. Over the years, I’ve had three cats and four dogs, each with their own personalities and stories. I’ve also helped friends board their fur babies and done home visits/drop-in visit for cats and received good reputation. Training my Border Collie taught me patience, structure, and how to communicate calmly with all kinds of pets. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a shy kitty, I treat every animal with love, respect, and care, just like family. 🐶🐱💛 I start my day early and finish work early. I’m available for home visits in the mornings and after 3 PM on weekdays. Weekends and holidays work for me as well. I offer home visits, dog walks, and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Walks are always one-on-one, and your pet won’t meet mine unless you approve. Home staying for pets are only for weekend and holidays. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because it’s what I genuinely love to do every day. Safety and comfort always come first. I have experience with reactive dogs and know how to create safe boundaries. I also follow your pet’s care routine closely and will send pet pictures to you.
