Cat Sitting Amber Lake

“Oh my goodness Kim is a phenomenal cat sitter!! We came back from a 6 day trip and our picky senior cats acted like we’d never been gone. She sent great pics of them each day so I could see all the love and attention they were getting. Kim was also kind enough to handle mail and packages, and even left us a lovely welcome home treat. We’ve had mixed experiences with others in the past and it’s comforting to find someone who treats your pets and home so thoughtfully. So glad we found her!”

About: I truly love animals and care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and always try to make pets feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to adjust to each pet’s personality and routine. I also love sending photo updates so owners can feel at ease. Spending time with animals is honestly one of the best parts of my day. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy making time for walks, playtime, cuddles, feedings, and check-ins throughout the week. Caring for pets feels natural to me, and I love making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with care and respect, always following your instructions closely to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I pay attention to routines, keep things clean and consistent, and make sure your pet feels calm, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also send regular updates so you always know how things are going.

“We felt completely comfortable when we were away. The animals loved Natasha and her daughter. So nice to find someone you can trust with your fur babies.”

“This was our first time using Rover. Riley was helpful in explaining how it worked. She watched our cat for several visits for two days. For each visit she sent information on how the visit went. Unfortunately our kitty would run and hide after greeting her so she couldn’t get many pictures. She even went and found him and sat trying to convince him to come out! He ate well during her visits and she was kind to clean up the dirty cat bowls each time! It’s also very comforting knowing Riley has experience working in a vet clinic.”

About: I’ve been an avid animal lover my entire life. My family has always had at least 2 pets at any given time and in the past 4 years we have fostered close to 80 pups! I’m currently working towards my CCTBS certification (certified canine training and behavior specialist). I’ve worked at dog daycares as well as the SPCA. During this time, I cared for dogs and cats from all walks of life. I befriended anxious pets who feared humans and gained acceptance from those who show aggression. I have experience with puppies/kittens, seniors, special needs, and more! I specialize in caring for the pets who are a bit more on the nervous side as I am very patient and attentive to detail. That being said, I love a good happy go lucky pet as well! I am also qualified to administer medications, even injectables. Whether it’s a little check in or a long walk, I’m here to help! I work 7am to anywhere between 11am and 3pm, leaving me enough flexibility to care for your pets scheduled needs! My days off vary each week with weekends being mandatory. On my days off, I’m able to provide more flexibility for extended visits and one on one time with your furry friends, just reach out and I’ll let you know what my off days are for the week! If you’re looking for recurring walks or sitting we can discuss that further so I can adjust my schedule accordingly! Your pets will be treated like one of my own, pampered and spoiled! I will follow any guidelines or routines you have in place. If your pet knows any tricks or manners to practice, I’m more than happy to implement those! In each and every visit, I like to take the time to give the animal and the home a once over to make sure everything looks good and safe before I leave.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them and can't imagine life without them. Twice a week I volunteer at a local dog rescue, which keeps me sharp on handling dogs of all ages, temperments, and needs. I also share my home with cats, so I understand feline routines and personalities just as well as I do dogs. From playful puppies and kittens to gentle seniors who need a little extra patience, I am able to offer an energetic walk or a calm, reassuring visit to your pet's day. I bring genuine love, attentiveness, and real hands-on experience to every walk and drop-in. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a consistent schedule and enjoy planning my days around the pets I am caring for. I volunteer at a dog rescue on Monday and Friday mornings and have a few standing commitments on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Outside of those times, I have a flexible schedule and am committed to maintaining each pet's individual or household routines. I am very reliable, thrive with structure, and always make sure the pets in my care receive the attention and consistency they deserve. I believe pets thrive with a consistent routine and am able to follow instructions closely for feeding, litter box cleaning, walks, medications, brushing, and any other custom and daily care. I also pay close attention to each pet's behavior and body language so I am able to recognize when something seems out of character or when they need a different approach, committing to always notify the owner for follow up. I never force interactions or activities- for example, if a dog is not interested in a walk, I will adjust and find an alternative way to keep them engaged and comfortable. Above all, I prioritize a clean, safe, and low-stress environment where both cats and dogs feel secure and well cared for.

“We were in a pinch to find a dog sitter after my mom injured her foot before we were scheduled to travel. So thankful we found Carleen!! She was fantastic with our three pups, even in the face of some unexpected digestive issues. Carleen was responsive, provided regular status updates (and photos), and followed our somewhat intricate potty and feeding routine perfectly (with three dogs, if can be a bit much!). It was such a relief to know we were leaving our babies in the hands of someone who clearly loves animals as much as we do. We cannot recommend her enough!!”

About: I have previous experience working as a field manager for a professional pet care company where I have taken care of dozens of dogs/cats of all ages with many different routines/needs, I have my Pet First Aid and CPCR certification, and I currently have two young German Shepherd pups of my own! I have always been very passionate about animals and know how important it is to feel that your pets are in good hands when you are away. I currently work an early morning part-time job, which leaves me the rest of the day to play with your pups! I am available during the week and on most weekends for boarding and walking. I live near many different walking trails to keep your dogs entertained. I have a fenced in yard and two young German Shepherd dogs who LOVE playing with other dogs. I have crates and gates if needed. I do my best to keep animals close to their usual daily routines so they are as comfortable as possible while they are away from their owners.

“Jenna did an exceptional job caring for my senior small dog. If I could give more stars, I would! She gave me photos and video and an honest observation of my dog on each visit. I would 100% request her to come over again!”

Laura Z.

“Alexis was terrific. She took wonderful care of Manteo, kept us updated and immediately responded to our texts. She managed a few extra needs for Manteo and we were grateful. Our dog is still a puppy and Alexis managed his puppy behaviors like a champ. She's a lovely person. Thank you, Alexis!”

About: I’ve had cats all my life. I’ve recently lost my 16 year old soul cat Coco to cancer and I’m not ready to adopt again quite yet, but I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur babies. I work part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have a flexible schedule and can work any time of day. I can come take care of your pets any time of day. I’m comfortable with all forms of pet care, including administering medication. Happy to care for pets with special needs.

About: Hello there! I’m Sam. I’ve loved animals since I was 9 years old and have been a pet sitter on Rover for over 4 years now. As you can see from all my reviews, I enjoy being part of this community! Currently, I have two fur babies of my own: Tango, a Norwegian Elkhound, and Scout, a Pitbull/Yorkie mix. In 2024, my beloved Timmy, a dachshund senior dog passed away at 15 years old, so I also have personal experience caring for older dogs who need a little extra love and specialized attention. I know firsthand how important and how difficult it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pets while you're away. I can assure you that your fur baby will be in safe hands with me. A Little Perk: I just got a nice camera and am looking to practice my photography! I am offering free digital pictures with any house-sitting or drop-in booking. I currently work a remote 9-to-5 job with plenty of flexibility, meaning I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet's specific routine and needs throughout the day. I do not offer services in my home since I live in an apartment with my 2 dogs. I have a reliable means of transportation, and I can make any special accomodations for your pets if necessary.
