Cat Sitting Atherton

“I can't say enough good things about Anna! She arrived on time and jumped right in to playing with Louie. She took him for a walk, played with him in the yard, and gave him a much-needed rest time. I know these things because she sent me pictures when I was away. The house was clean when I got home, and my puppy was relaxed and happy! I would have Anna back in a heartbeat!”

About: Dogs have been an important part of my life for more than 30 years. I’ve raised and cared for dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, including two Labrador Retrievers and a Labradoodle. My second Labrador was a Guide Dog in training who ultimately left the program due to potential physical issues. After she passed away, I became a volunteer with a local Guide Dogs for the Blind puppy-raising club and am an authorized puppy sitter. Through this experience, I’ve cared for puppies in training and understand the importance of consistency, patience, following training guidelines, and paying close attention to a dog’s behavior and needs. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including dogs requiring special diets, medication, and additional attention. I’m comfortable adapting to different routines and providing individualized care based on each dog’s needs. I’m also familiar with the general grooming and routine care that dogs need, including brushing, nail care, teeth brushing, and basic coat trimming. Most importantly, I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my day. While I do have occasional work meetings, I'm able to plan walks, visits, and other care around them. My evenings are generally free, and I have additional flexibility on weekends. I enjoy having a reason to step away from my desk during the day and spend some time with a dog or cat. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow each owner's instructions closely and make sure their pet's normal routine is maintained as much as possible, including feeding, medications, walks, and other special needs. I’m attentive to doors, gates, and other potential escape routes, and I make sure pets are supervised appropriately when outside. I’m also respectful of my client’s home and understand that I’m being trusted with more than just their pet. I’ll keep things clean and secure and communicate with the owner if anything unusual comes up.

About: Hello! I’m Samaria and I am old to dog-sitting but new to Rover. I’ve loved dogs my whole life so I thought I’ve taken any opportunity to dogsit growing up. I’ve lived in Redwood City my whole life and have cared for my older sister’s four active dogs (three huskies and one terrier mix) whenever she’s out of town, for years (recently for 10 days straight?. I have taken them on walks, checked on the house and stayed overnight when there were fireworks to keep them calm. I’d love to give peace of mind to busy families and make a new fur friend. I’m very flexible and looking forward to meeting new puppers! If you have any questions or want to talk about any specifications, message me! I work full time remote so I walk, feed, and play with the dogs in breaks and even after my virtual work hours. Depending on the needs of the dog, I’ll move thing around. I am available to home sit, do check-ins, or just daily walks. I do not have a reserved space in my home that fits more dogs.

“Nina & Leo are great! They’ve looked after Whiskers a few times now and I always feel like she’s in great hands. They are very responsive, love all the photos they send and even bring in the mail and deliveries without asking :) 5 stars ⭐️”

“Justine is the best! She was flexible and kind, working with us when our plans changed on short notice. She's always wonderful with our kitty and shares detailed updates. She even went above and beyond to help us address a pest issue while we were away. Thank you, Justine!!”

“Julia was so flexible with her schedule and truly seemed to care most about taking care of my dog. It’s easy to know when you meet an animal lover, and Julia is for sure an animal lover!”

About: I have been around and cared for animals for as long as I can remember! In the past I have worked at a pet care and boarding facility for over four years and I have four pets of my own. Constantly being around animals has taught me a lot and I am committed to continue learning . I am comfortable handling any breed of dog, energy levels , and size. Older dogs that might need medication are also no problem. I am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animals. My biggest goal is building trust with and your fur baby and providing the best care possible. I currently work fully remote so my schedule is very flexible and I am available when needed! I can also be very flexible on the weekends and can accept last minute bookings. When taking care of your baby my biggest goal is to gain their trust and do all the fun things you would normally do. I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets and shower them with love. I work fully remote so my schedule is very flexible, especially after 5pm I can accept more bookings. On the weekends I am completely open and accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would really enjoy playing your pets, taking them on walks, and anything that you recommend doing that you know they would really enjoy. Making sure they are comfortable and happy is my biggest priority.

“Great cat sitter, my Loki loves her. Very in tune with what he needed. Left apartment looking good, all of the cat stuff in good condition. Very responsive with great pictures of a very happy cat! Will not only hire again but will definitely recommend!”

About: I love animals and have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I cared for my own cat for 18 years, so I’m very comfortable with senior cats and understand the patience, attention, and gentle care they need. I’ve also pet sat for my neighbors’ cats and cared for a small senior dog while they were away. I know how important it is to follow routines, give medications if needed, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or simply enjoys a calm companion, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and personalized care while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate time each day to providing attentive care for pets. I enjoy starting my mornings with walks and check-ins, and I’m available for feeding, playtime, litter box care, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure each pet’s routine is respected and that they receive the attention and love they need while their owners are away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication needs, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special preferences. I take the time to make each pet feel comfortable and loved, whether they need an energetic play session, a relaxing cuddle, or simply a calm companion nearby. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they are away.

“What a dream Rover! Megan is so attentive, gave thorough check ins with adorable photos, and kept our active girl busy with neighborhood adventures. We can tell our dog really enjoys and trusts her — which makes all the difference while we’re away. Thank you Megan!!!”

About: Hi, I’m a higher education professional based in the Bay Area! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old and have extensive experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and needs—including fostering dogs in search of forever homes and pet-sitting for neighbors. I am a massive animal lover and have four dogs of my own, including our newest addition, Roberto! I treat every pet like they are my own (and honestly, love them more than people at times!). Having joined Rover years ago in the UK, to give back to the community that has taken such great care of my own pets, I’m well-equipped with the skills needed—feeding, walking, bathing, and giving endless affection. Surrounded by dogs my whole life, I’d be thrilled to provide your pets with the same love, care, and attention I give my own. I am currently free when needed. I will always let you know if I am not since I work hybrid at times. When sitting your pet, I would make sure she/he has what they need at the time necessary. I love to play and give lots of cuddles, so no need to worry about them not getting loved or attention. Overall, I would care for your pet as I care for my own. I work hybrid but I love to care for doggies when I get the chance. I am home mostly all weekends so if you want to get out and go somewhere, I can always care for your dogs like I do for mine. We have a dog park in our apartment complex, so they will have a lot of time to play. We have four dogs who love to be active well two of them. Plus, we have a dog spa so if they are dirty we can clean them up pretty quick

About: I’ve always been surrounded by pets, growing up with both cats and dogs in my family. This constant companionship has given me a deep understanding and love for animals. I have specific experience with cats that have anxiety and aggressive behavior, learning to care for them with patience and understanding. While living in Batumi, Georgia, I volunteered to help stray dogs, feeding them and working to find them homes. This experience not only reinforced my passion for animal care but also equipped me with the skills to handle different pet behaviors and needs. I have an open schedule, so I’m available for daily walks and can stay with your pets at home for a couple of days if needed. I’m flexible and ready to fit pet care into my routine, ensuring your pets get the attention and care they need. I offer personalized care for pets both in clients' homes and during walks. At Home: - Feeding and Hydration: Ensure your pets have fresh food and water according to their schedule. - Companionship: Spend quality time playing and keeping them company to reduce anxiety. - Cleanliness: Maintain a clean environment by handling litter boxes, pet bedding, and any messes. - Medication: Administer medications as required. During Walks: - Exercise and Fun: Provide engaging walks tailored to your pet’s energy level and health needs. - Safety First: Always prioritize safety by using secure leashes and harnesses and being vigilant about surroundings. - Behavior Management: Handle any behavioral issues with patience and positive reinforcement techniques. I customize my services to meet the specific needs and routines of your pets, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for.
