Cat Sitting Andrews

“Aubrie was great with our kitties while we were gone. She met them first, which gave us an idea how she interacted with them and gave us a chance to show her where supplies were. She was great about sharing 3 to 4 pictures every visit of them playing, eating, and just being cute. She made sure to send a good note each visit with the Rover Card and pictures. We would definitely use Aubrie again to take care of our cats when we leave town!!”

“We appreciate Sara bringing in packages, mail, and garbage for us, as well as checking on the cats and scooping the litter for us while we were gone.”

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Heather is FANTASTIC!!! Very easy to communicate with, timely, kind, and really cares for our pet. She asked great questions for things I didn’t even think of and she made sure our dog was well taken care of while we were unavailable.”

About: My grandfather was a veterinarian for 50 years. I fortunately got to grow up living with them & was able to see animals of all ages, shapes & sizes. I don’t think there was a day where I wasn’t with him at the office “helping” out (scooping poop and cleaning kennels). In my own adult life, i have 4 of my own animals who I treat better than myself 🤣 i love them to pieces and always do my best to ensure their needs are met. You can expect me to do the same for you! My 17 yr old man Tiger has some extra care needs so I am 100% comfortable with doing extra care needs for your animals. I’m a social worker that is able to make her schedule most weeks. I work from home a few days a week and am able to make a flexible schedule. You can trust me to provide for your animals as I provide for my own. I work for the State of Iowa & have passed a background check with no concern.

“Extremely helpful considering it was pretty last minute. Very quick learner with Todd’s insulin shots.”

“Pamela did a great job checking on Chloe every day while we were on vacation. Chloe really seemed to bond with her. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and taking our trash to the curb. I would highly recommend her.”

About: Hello! I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and I have a cat of my own! I have experience with pet sitting for 4+ years. I am open to walking, feeding, and playing with your pet when needed! I currently am in between jobs and am looking for something to do in the meantime. I am able to fit your pet(s) anywhere in my day as I won’t have much going on. However long you need me to walk, play, and cuddle with your pet(s), I am available! I am willing to walk, feed, and play with your pet(s) when needed! Anything that you need me to do for you and your pet(s), I am more than happy to help!

About: I have worked with dogs for a long time, i worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years and now at a grooming salon. I have a lot of experience with small dogs, big dogs, young dogs, and old dogs. I also have experience administering meds, doing nail trims, etc. i’m currently working full time but can be available after 6 during the week. My weekends are pretty open and will continue to be open as the weather is getting warm. I am very cautious of my surroundings and care for everyone’s pets as much as I do my own and I am definitely a helicopter pet mom so your pup will be very well taken care of in my care.

“Jane was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and able to book on short notice. She was also upfront about her schedule, which made planning easy. Would happily recommend her!”

About: I’ve always been around cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve mastered the process of giving medications. I’ve volunteered in a shelter some years ago and I learned a lot while I was there. I’ve trained all of my current and past pets and even helped some friends with theirs. I craft my own pet food in my kitchen to ensure all nutrients are available to them. I take pet health to a very serious level! Currently, I’m just in school So I have plenty of time. I’m available Mon- sun at 10am, 3pm, and anytime after 5pm! Friday is the only day that I’m available at 11am rather than 10am but I’m free for the day after 11am. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I take time to learn their personality, feeding schedule, litter habits, and any specific needs before caring for them. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I’m also attentive to doors, windows, plants, and anything else a curious pet could get into. I give pets plenty of attention and playtime while also respecting them when they need space. If they need medication or any extra care, I’m comfortable handling that as well.

“Katie is so great! She is perfect to trust with your friend. She sends updates and pics and follows directions well.”

About: I grew up around dogs & cats of all kinds! I have been a solo pet owner for 8+ years & have 2 dogs, a cat, and 2 birds in my home. I am able to care for reactive dogs, diabetic cats/dogs, and know how to operate an E/Collar. I work for Rover because being around animals is a passion of mine & I am always open to helping out! I have flexible hours during my work week (between 7AM-11AM and 2PM-9PM specifically) and I am available on weekends! Anytime after 6pm, I can be there for your pets. I live in a central enough location, so travel to different parts of the metro easy! If I come to your home to care for your pets, I am an avid runner & am sure to get those pups out & active. I am comfortable using treats as incentive & have worked with my own dog through reactivity, so ensuring your pet feels safe is important to me! If your pet stays in my home, I live close to Gray's Lake & Waterworks Park.. making it easy for us to get out and explore. For cats that may come stay with me, we've got large windows & a cat hammock for lounging!

“We are so thankful for Lucy! She was available last minute to check in on our golden retriever while we were out of town. Lucy went above and beyond for a simple drop in visit - walking Saylor around to explore/potty, feeding her dinner (even her pre-dinner trick ritual haha), giving her plenty of water breaks, playing with her inside too, etc. This was our first Rover experience and we are so glad it was with Lucy, the peace of mind is priceless. We 1000% recommend her and will be requesting her next time!”

“Angie immediately jumped in when I found myself in a predicament without coverage for my medically high needs cat. It was short notice and we were a new client and yet Angie was willing to take care of her. NO ONE and I mean NO ONE other than myself has been able to give my cat her medications… yet somehow Angie was able to do it. She came at the agreed upon times like clockwork and communicated so well while I was gone. I am so thankful to have found someone to help care for my cat when I have to be gone. Will definitely be using Angie again when the need arises!!!”

About: My ability to love animals is a gift that I want to share with others. I have had a dog, hamster, ducks and a cat and all are the most happy animals I have met. I go above and beyond to make them all comfortable and feel loved! I currently am blessed to have a senior lab, Cokie! She is truly my soul dog and my best friend. I take care of her everyday. I also help with my neighbors, family and friends pets! I respect the household of others, if you give me rules they will be followed. Along with basic common sense of what is/isn’t ok in someone else’s home. When I have a pet over to my house, they are respected and treated just like a human guest
