Cat Sitting Betteravia

“Allison is absolutely the best! I accidentally locked a door she needed open to get to my cat’s room and she went above and beyond to help me solve the problem. She took care of Sheba’s every need and I highly recommend her!”

About: Hello! I work for an animal sanctuary during the week (administrative work, husbandry, diet management, volunteer training, dog training). I lived in the Dominican Republic for several years where I rescued ill and injured animals and would care for them until their passing. I cared for up to 22 animals at once. I have experience in both senior and neonate care. I grew up with animals since birth and began taking care of them at 12, and am now in my mid-thirties. I also have experience with farm animals and exotic animals. I obtained a certificate in Ambassador Animal Husbandry and Management in 2025 from the American Association of Zookeepers. My experience with positive reinforcement training (with a clicker) comes from the American Association of Zookeepers annual conference, time spent with my uncle who is a retired obedience and protection dog trainer and USCA judge, and using positive reinforcement training to train our two large breed puppies at my work. I also have experience training my own dogs and with desensitizing feral kittens and even one feral adult cat to become domestic pets (from my time in the Dominican Republic). I have completed multiple courses in animal training (operant conditioning), animal welfare, animal behavior, zoonotic diseases, animal nutrition, enrichment, neonate care, safe handling and restraint, emergency recall, and animal transportation. Hablo español Falo português I work for an animal sanctuary Monday through Friday (early morning till mid afternoon). I am free on weekends and also have limited availability during late afternoon/evening hours on weekdays. I am currently only offering care in clients' homes. I request that the client either writes any specific instructions or requests prior to booking so I can be aware of the exact service(s) and schedule they are requesting. The only request I have had that I was not comfortable with from a potential client was to leave them in a crate for a period of time in which I did not believe to be humane/ethical, but luckily this was discussed prior to meeting so we just had a friendly mutual agreement that we weren't the right fit for each other.

“Super attentive and communicative. Appreciated all the updates and accepting the visit for my cat so last minute!”

About: I am not just a pet sitter; I am a highly experienced caregiver who understands that every dog requires unique, specialized attention. Having raised and cared for my own four dogs for 25 years, I know exactly what it takes to keep a home safe, happy, and structured for multiple pets. I am fully confident and experienced in managing complex health conditions. I provide specialized care for diabetes (including strict schedules and insulin shots), seizure management, and gentle guidance for seniors experiencing Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD). From fragile 5-pound newborn puppies to independent 110-pound seniors, I understand the different handling, behavioral, and nutritional needs across all sizes and life stages. I am used to keeping up with a pack! I walked my four dogs every single day, meaning your pet will get the reliable exercise, outdoor time, and routine they thrive on. My community frequently relies on me to care for their pets because they know I treat every dog with the same level of vigilance and love as my own. I treat pet care as a core priority in my daily and weekly schedule. My routine is built around reliability and punctuality, which is crucial for pets on strict medical or feeding regimens. I dedicate my mornings, lunch breaks, and evenings entirely to pet visits, ensuring that diabetic checks, insulin shots, and senior care happen precisely on time. Because I am used to managing a busy multi-dog pack of my own, I am highly organized and adapt my weekly calendar to give your pets the consistent, dedicated time they deserve. I treat your pet exactly like a member of my own pack, offering a structured, safe, and loving environment. I follow your exact instructions down to the letter. If your diabetic pet needs breakfast and insulin at a precise hour, or if your senior cat needs specialized cognitive support at night, I am there right on time. Because of my extensive experience with seizures, diabetes, and other health issues, I am highly observant. I look out for subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or bathroom habits, and I know exactly how to handle medical emergencies calmly. I keep up your pet's favorite neighborhood walking routes and playtime rituals, ensuring they get the mental stimulation and physical exercise they are used to.

“Kelly was friendly beyond just the pet sitting, and she rushed to our house late at night when I realized I'd put the wrong start date on the request - plus she wasn't even worried about getting paid for it!”

About: I am a licensed Vet Tech who recently moved to the area. I have 10 years of experience working with a variety of animals in a clinical setting. Also, I have always had pets growing up as well. I can help you with anything from exercising your animal, boarding or even administering medications. I am new to the area and I currently have open availability. I have a dog of my own, but I am able to manage caring for your pet as well as my own. I have a fenced yard and a dog who loves to play. I can stay at your house or even have your pet stay over if needed. I currently live with my parents who are able to care for my dog if your pet needs more alone time. I can accommodate to whatever your pet needs.

“Dayna was perfect! I don’t trust many people but I took a chance with the Rover app. I really couldn’t have gotten a more reliable person. She kept in contact with me and did everything she was asked to do. She’s also a pet lover and just a sweet person in general. I’m beyond happy that I found her and will definitely ask for her services again in the future. I cannot thank her enough for such a wonderful experience. Gram says thank you too!!!! ❤️❤️”

About: ​Lifelong pet lover and pet mom offering fun walks, playful energy, and a safe environment. I’ll treat your furry family member just like my own! Working part-time for the school district leaves my afternoons and weekends wide open and completely dedicated to feeding, walking, chilling and playing with your pets. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect. Safety means constant supervision, secure environments, and clear communication. I strictly follow your house rules and pet routines to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable.

About: Hey there! I’m an active, dependable animal lover who has been caring for pets for friends and family for years. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves walks, trail adventures, beach time, or a good run, I’m happy to keep them active and moving. If they’re more of a couch companion, I’m just as content spending the afternoon reading a book with a cat curled up beside me. My experience includes caring for dogs and cats of all ages, house sitting, looking after macaws, and owning reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and following detailed care instructions. I also volunteered at the California Living Museum, where I gained experience working around wildlife and developed an even greater appreciation for attentive, compassionate animal care. I’m clean, respectful of your home, and committed to keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. My goal is simple: to make your pets feel loved while you’re away and I get an adventure buddy. I currently work full time Monday- Friday. I can be there in the mornings and later afternoons/nights. Weekends just if I’m not on backpacking or scuba diving I’m available. I cannot keep animals at my house per the rental restrictions. But I am more than happy to housesit/ pop in a couple times a day. Just let me know your preferences.
