Cat Sitting in Ashland

“This was my very first time using anything like Rover to help take care of my dog partner. Olivia Maximilianus lived up to, and beyond, any expectations I ever had; performing with brilliant helpfulness. Providing professional service above any idea of which that I had going into the situation of needing help feeding my four-legged relative, while I traveled. With the sonic intuition of a bat soaring through the night, she knew what I needed before I could even think of it. With the professional and timely voice of mourning dove, she was prompt and unbelievably reliable. With the cool and calm discipline of a crow crossing a wire over a field of peace lilies, bluegrasses, and dandelions, she left my home and space in a cleaner and more organised way than I had left it. And with the resilience and dedication of V-formed geese, my four-legged family was exercised and engaged in such a good way. Evidenced in her calm and content energy in my return home. Reminding me of the words from my favourite poet, Mary Oliver, in the last verse of her poem titled, October: “One morning the fox came down the hill, glittering and confident, and didn’t see me- and I thought: so this is the world. I’m not in it. It is beautiful.””

About: I have always grown up in a household with pets and see them as family members. Currently enjoying the companionship of my 2 fur babies. Throughout my time of loving animals, i have had pets with allergies, a 2 different orthopedic procedures on knees and 2 eye procedures and feel comfortable with giving medications or eye drops. When it comes to my animals, I value the importance of them having the ability to be cared for when I am away and look forward to providing that to other familys. I am available most friday afternoons and weekends for drop ins and walks in the lincoln area. Could consider evenings on additional days upon request. Currently my animals are free roam, but I do have experiance with crate training. My animals enjoy daily walks, mind stimulating activities and practicing of their learned tricks, and lots of love.

About: I was in 4-h for around 7-10 years and showed horses, cattle, rabbits, cats and dogs. I lived on a farm so I am good with all sized pets. I have a deep passion for animals and personally have 2 dogs a chocolate lab and siberian husky, and 2 cats a orange tabby and grey maine coon. I am a full-time college student so my schedule is pretty open all week and the weekends besides church Sunday mornings and I work Saturday nights 5-11. I am very responsible and have lots of experience pet-sitting. I strive to do my best job for all my cliets while also being respectful of their home.

“Courtney goes above and beyond to take care of our dog, Dottie! She brings her a special toy to play with when she’s there, allowing Dottie to experience the joy of a new toy every day. She watched out for Dottie’s health and safety. She treats Dottie as if she’s her own. We could not ask for a better Rover sitter. Thanks Courtney!”

“We were so lucky to find a dog walker in Ashland. Kim is only 10 minutes away from our campsite at Ashland RV Campground. It was such a relief finding her. Very easy to work with, walked and played with Dixie for about 45 minutes. We've used her twice & will continue while here for CWS.”

About: I have and will always have a passion for animals. I've had a wide range of pets and experience with animals. I work a full-time job but love to get in early morning or evening walks. My schedule is flexible so I can talk with you to find something that works best. Aside from pets I have owned, I have frequently cared for family and friends' pets while they were away. I have volunteered time at the local humane society and was part of a horse club for 5 years as a child. A also have experience as an adult. I have worked with dogs, cats, horses, Snakes, hamsters gerbils rats and mice, birds some amphibians, and some aquarium life like fish, shrimp, turtles, and lizards. I also have a few bee hives. 🐝🍯 I had 4 dogs and enjoyed every minute of it and have missed having a dog companion in my home. I currently have 3 cats and love to dog/cat sit for my family, friends and neighbor. I have seinor pet experience. My brother and sister-in-law foster dogs, as they have a love for animals as well. I've had a lot of exposure to many furry friends. 🤎 I plan to train and learn more by taking classes, so I can provide the best care possible with as much knowledge as I can learn. I'm currently full-time with some flexibility and I would love to help you with your furry friend needs. Lets meet and see what I can do to help. I love early mornings: Mondays and Fridays work best. I'm also available for some afternoon/evening hours on Thursdays, and evenings on Friday. I am currently not booking weekends but this may change soon, so check back. I do meet-&-greets for first time clients and then bookings to follow. You are not considered booked until your booking is paid, you will then be added to my schedule, at which dates/times will be locked in. I require a 3 day cancelation at this time but understand that things come up. I currently only do 30min and 60min drop ins. And 60min walks. Future boardings to come, check back. I like to acknowledge not only the importance of your pet but of you, your family and the home I work in. Things I would like to know about your pet: Let me know if your dog has any special needs or if you have any preferences I can accommodate. Anything you can share about your dog will help me take care of them better.

About: Lifelong animal lover offering reliable dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs and cats. I’ve cared for pets my entire life and previously boarded dogs through Rover, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. In 2017 I was an active Rover sitter and boarded dogs in my home for about a year, working with several families and building repeat clients. During that time I had multiple dogs and cats of my own, as well as young children, so I’m very comfortable managing busy households and different pet personalities. Today I have one dog and one cat of my own and am excited to return to Rover focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I’m happy to help with: • Dog walking (short or long walks) • Drop-in visits for dogs or cats • Feeding, fresh water, and routine care • Litter box cleaning for cats • Playtime, attention, and companionship • Basic medications when pets are comfortable receiving them I’ve also worked in boarding facilities, grooming salons, and doggy daycares, which gave me experience handling many different types of dogs and temperaments. I’m known for being calm, patient, and routine-focused, and I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a wide-open schedule and can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs, whether it’s daily walks or regular drop-in visits. I primarily drive to visits, so I can reach most locations efficiently. To ensure the best care for your pets, I ask for at least a day’s notice when scheduling or canceling visits. Since this is my main source of income, I can be consistent and dependable, giving your pets the attention and routine they deserve. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Dogs are always leashed during walks, and I adjust routes or pause if other dogs are nearby to ensure a calm, controlled experience. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once, as long as they get along well. I handle pets with anxiety, aggression, or medical needs carefully, following all instructions from their parents. During drop-in visits, I take my lead from pet parents and follow any guidance provided, ensuring I leave the home exactly as I found it — doors locked, secure, and everything in order. My goal is to provide a safe, consistent, and worry-free experience for both pets and their families.

“Celeste was an amazing cat sitter! Went above and beyond expectations and was in regular contact with me while I was away. When I returned home, my cats were obviously very well taken care of and my apartment looked just as I had left it! Cannot recommend Celeste enough. Incredibly appreciative of her willingness to watch my pets and keep me updated while on vacation.”

About: I’m a proud pet mom to both a dog and a cat, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of each. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I make sure your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also offer weekend availability, perfect for those quick getaways! I am a student so I have plenty of time! Specially on weekends. I have my dog and my cat already and they would love to make new friends I just moved to a house and it’s just my husband and I with our cat and dog and they are super friendly with other animals and we all love cuddle time

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. As a kid I was never able to have pets, so as an adult I’ve always had multiple dogs. I love dogs and enjoy their personalities and fun loving nature. Weekends and holidays are spent at home with the family, and the four-legged family members get plenty of playtime! During the week, I work full-time. Our dogs are kennel-trained and enjoy their downtime during the day. Once home, they’re out and a part of all our evening activities. We have a fenced-in yard where they can run and play non-stop. Our fenced-in yard is an excellent space for our four energetic dogs to run and play. They love to play non-stop, and our kids, who are also dog lovers, enjoy playing along with them.

About: I started my care for dogs when I was 14. I often sit for friends and family when they need me. I am an animal lover who just loves spending time with new animals. I love getting to know all of their sweet personalities. I am currently a student with no more than 2 classes a day so lots a free time to spend with your pets. I would be free to let out your pets multiple times a day and even spend the night if you would like. I am very accommodating when it comes to all types of animals. We can discuss what your animals need in your house and find some type of system.

About: I have had pets my entire life including many dogs of different sizes, cats, and other animals. To be specific, I have owned 2 black labs, a beagle, a toy Yorkie, a golden retriever. I currently have 2 cats, one of which is medicated for siezures twice daily, and a bird. I have also had many fish, ducks, and even a bearded dragon. I LOVE animals, which is why I am majored in Zoology. During High School I worked at my local pound (Puppy Love). I have 3 years of professional experience caring for animals at humane shelters. During these times, I dealt with dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments including aggressive dogs. I am very capable of handling whatever an animal may need no matter how difficult it may seem at first. I have a great passion for giving animals the best life they can possibly have. By looking at the lives of my animals you can see that clearly. I have also, in the past, gone to peoples homes to take care of their animals while they were away and have had a lot of positive feedback on my work. I am dedicated and do not scare easily. I am definitely an animal person :) I have a good schedule with my own pets, woth daily and weekly activities I keep up consistently. I respect the need for a schedule and will do my best to keep yours. I strive to keep and calm and clean environment wherever animals are present. Sometimes they make messes, that's just the way they are. The same basic animal care principles apply to any environment, you just have to know where your tools are. I always try to go the extra mile when taking care of anyone's pets.

“Liz was great!! My fur kids just loved her. She even took time to come over before the scheduled date to meet my kids and learn their routine. She was so good with them and sent the best pictures!!”

About: I have always had a pet, or multiple pets, in my life. I love animals and I have a passion for caring for them. My mom and I have a goal in the future to own a lot of land where we can build a dog sanctuary! I am a nursing student, so I do have classes throughout the day. But I am generally pretty free to take care of dogs every few hours or more frequently if needed!(: I am very responsible and can follow a schedule really well. I would make sure to take your dog on walks, let them outside to use the restroom, and feed them all on the timing of your schedule for them. I will also make it a priority to play with them and give them as much attention as necessary!

“Sheridan did an awesome job with our pups! She was on time for check-ins and did everything that was requested! Will definitely book with her again in the future!”
