Cat Sitting in Bowen

“Rubes saved the day for my wife and I. We’ve been terrified of leaving our cats in anyone else’s care while trying to take vacations forever. They don’t handle it well at all, and leaving them at a relative’s home makes it worse. Rubes came in and the cats definitely were drawn to her. She’s very consistent with drop-in visits, and she’ll keep you updated on your pets with loads of daily photos. You can see how passionate she is about caring for animals instantly. After the initial fears of leaving our pets with someone new, it took no time for my wife and I to see that our cats were in great hands. We will definitely be contacting Rubes for more visits.”

“It’s like we never left! Alicia followed every detail precisely, was dependable, and very respectful of our house and cats. She figured out all the nuances of each of my three cats’ personalities and needs. She communicated w us through each visit which was so appreciated and eased my stress. It became clear, that her priority was to be of service- not to just get a job done. I really could go on and on. But coming home to calm cats, house intact, n the peace of mind she gave us each day was priceless to us. I can speak from experience of many failed pet sitter experiences, Alicia is the best! We will be a return customer!!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Aleah—an experienced dog groomer and lifelong animal lover. I’ve worked professionally with dogs for over 2 years and absolutely love getting to know each pup’s unique personality. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a cozy stay, or just a quick check-in, I’m here to give them lots of love, attention, and care. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes and have experience handling everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I have open availability and can easily work around your schedule. I also share my home with 7 animals of my own, so I’m used to giving plenty of love, structure, and attention to all kinds of pets. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every dog like family—whether it’s a quick visit or an overnight stay. Let me know your pup’s routine, quirks, or special needs, and I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I can also offer grooming for dogs and cats! I would like to talk in person for that though just so I can 100% understand what you would like done! *Prices for grooming may differ depending on coat type/condition, pet’s size, and behavior* Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I have open availability! I can pretty much work whenever is needed! I am very big on communication so as long as I know before hand I can usually work around your schedule! I have my own house but not a fenced in yard so your babies will be monitored while outside. We have 4 runs we use for our babies that can be used to let your pups run around a bit! I also have a kennel in case they need to be crated! I also understand dogs can be scared of other dogs in a new environment so I can keep my two pups put up!

“Very knowledgeable and thorough. My cat was very unimpressed when we got home, simply because she was very relaxed and at peace being taken care of by T.J.”

“Sarah was a wonderful sitter for our cats. She not only assisted me in setting up appointments for my first foray into Rover, but maintained informative correspondence with us. We did have reservations about leaving our home and pets to a setter, but Sarah made believers of us. We couldn't be any happier.”

About: I've had lots of animals my entire life and I definitely have a way with them. I especially have a soft spot for the older souls, but I love the energetic puppies too! I work part time and have plenty of free time to care for your pups. I am very organized and have a pretty set routine that can easily include any additional fur babies I have 2 large fenced yards, one is occupied by my grandparents dogs, but the other is empty for any guests. We have a large indoor space as well and plenty of space for playing and sleeping

About: Years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes! From playful puppies to wise seniors, I'm comfortable with all ages and temperaments. Your furry friend will get lots of love and attention! I work a full time job but I get up super early sometimes even at 4am!! I can go see your furry friend and play with them before I go to work, on my lunch break ( if you are close to my area ) go see them after work, and before bed!! I will care for your animal in your home by trying to stick to your pet's regular routine for feeding, walks, and playtime . I'll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your home is secure and your pet is safe. I'll clean up any messes and leave you a note about our time together!

About: I have more than plenty of free time to spend with your pets!! I own 3 cats or my own at the moment and I’ve owned several dogs over the years. I’m passionate about taking care of animals and I treat them as if they were my kids. I’ve always been drawn to animals, of all sorts, I might even become a vet. Letting me watch your pet could give me future experience I might need to help me later in life. I am available night or day!! I do have another job, so I would like to know at least a week in advance if I was to be pet sitting or just walking your dog so I can make time for you!! I care for my pets by paying close attention to what they need. Only an owner can know their pets well enough to know exactly what they’re pets want or need. To make sure I’m giving you and your pet the best quality care, I would simply ask for the specific things I need to know about your pet and how they need/want to be cared for.

“He took a good care of my cat.”

About: I spent my college years working at kennels for cats and dogs. I’ve also been known to house sit for friends with multiple dogs, cats, bunnies, and chickens. I work part time at Frito Lay. I write full time (and take the occasional class). I travel a lot with work but keep a flexible schedule. I’m mostly interested in Drop In visits but will consider walks if a meet and greet goes well. Please don’t ask for an email or phone number outside Rover.

About: I have lived with a variety of animals my whole life, and began regularly taking care of family and friends' dog and cats when I was 17. I am very attentive to the needs and body language of both dogs and cats, and adapt well to their unique behaviors and routines. I have experience with aloof/aggressive pets, senior pets, and young pets 6 months or older. I only work a couple days a week so I am comfortable with providing constant care to pets who cannot be left alone. I like to operate on a schedule so I am good about keeping up with bathroom breaks, feeding times, medications, etc. I am consistently available to care for your pets Sunday-Wednesday, and may frequently be available Thursday-Saturday as well (I do my best to update my calendar appropriately as far in advance as possible). I will request information about your pet's personality and care requirements prior to meeting with you. I ask that you allow me to meet your pet outside under your supervision before the stay begins, for both mine and your pet's safety and comfort.
