Cat Sitting Byron

“Shelly was great! Paid great attention to details on care and sent daily pics and emails on her visit. I was able to focus on my trip instead of worrying about what was happening at home. Will be asking her to watch my dogs again next time we take a trip!”

“Everything went great! It really gave me peace of mind to know Becky was checking on our cats, and getting updates on how they are doing. Came home to happy kitties. What a relief!”

About: I have been dog sitting for over 4 years now and the types of dogs have ranged from a few weeks old to 15 years old. I grew up with dogs and I even help volunteer at an animal shelter when I have the chance. I’ve animal sat for: dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, turtles, and more. I also work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility where I take care of pups all ages and breeds. I work part time and have plenty of time to take care of any animal I only work 4 hours on most days which gives me a lot of time to play and socialize with the animals. On Monday and Wednesday I work 7 hours, from 9-12 and 2-6 in between those time I will be with your fur baby’s aswell. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have school at 8-11am. Tuesdays I work 2-6. Fridays I work 8-12pm. So your animals will only be home alone short amounts of time. I plan to let out the animals every 4 hours or earlier on Monday and Wednesday’s. Then on any other day I will be with them every second I can be and I will be letting them out very frequently or as often as asked.

“Rafael was loved by our kitty. He provided photos of kitty each day with a detailed report. He cared for my home. Home was in good order upon my return. Thank you much.”

About: I’m new to the area but not new to pet sitting. I had a successful pet sitting business in Savannah, Ga for over 12 years. I have over 30+ years experience with pets from both big to small: dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, parrots, ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. I have experience with all pet stages and I’m comfortable with taking care from puppies to elderly pets as well. I’m a stay at home mom but both kids are now in school and my husband is a disabled veteran so he’s home to take care of them so I am fully available to be free to care for your fur babies. Staying in your home or doing drop ins, I’ll stick to your schedule on feedings and I prefer unless absolutely unavoidable to let the dogs out every 4hrs or so unless the dog prompts the need to go outside. If the dog is elderly or has a bladder issue or potty training I can let them out more frequently. The pet will receive love, affection, and we’ll play (varying on dogs needs or likes). Animals are like people, so understanding their personality and likes helps keep them comfortable and happy. Cat litter unless specified I change/clean daily. If you have houseplants I can water them or open blinds for them to get their necessary light, I will also bring in any packages and your mail if desired.

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I can remember! I’ve fostered and owned many sweet animals over the years :) From my early years helping my mom at the wildlife infirmary to fostering through adopt-a-pet in Fenton, I have a lot of experience working with dogs, cats, bunnies, and just about any other animal you can think of! Many references available upon request :) I do not currently have any conflicts when it comes to my daily/weekly routines! I am (for the most part) always available :) Message me with any questions! I will ensure that your dog/cat is safely taken care of in your home! We will come up with a plan that works for the both of us.

“Sarina did a great job with our cats. She provided great detailed updates and pictures. Highly recommend!”

“I was nervous and hesitant about using Rover. I had a meet and greet with Rachel and felt a lot more comfortable. I asked a lot of questions and Rachel did too, to make sure my pets would have everything they needed while I was away. She even sent me a reminder to leave notes on pet care. I came home to a nice candle for a wedding gift and a nice thank you note form Rachel. I will use her again in the future.”

“Carissa took great care of our two pit bull mixes with drop-in visits at our home. One of our dogs is quite skittish with new people and she won him over quickly. We especially loved getting photos at every visit. We will rebook her again.”

About: I worked at Potter Park Zoo. I have experience boarding, and training dogs. I have the experience to keep your pets both safe and happy. I care for dogs and cats daily as the owner of a boarding facility. This will be another offering for my customers and the community. There is opportune time to attend to in home visits. I will use my experience of owning a boarding facility, which can house up to 34 pet guests, to care for your pets in your home. I will feed, let out and interact and play with them.

“Molly is the ONLY person I’ll ever consider when having to leave my dogs home while I travel! She was FANTASTIC with my dogs and they ADORE HER! She is uniquely qualified as a Vet Tech, and I felt very comfortable in knowing my older dog’s meds were given and given correctly. My dogs were so well cared for that they really weren’t overly excited to see me when I returned! Thank you, Molly, for the outstanding care and attention you gave to my dogs!!!”

“Did a great job”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so being around them feels second nature to me. I’ve had experience with a wide range of breeds from high energy working dogs like German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois to small companion dogs like Pomeranians, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m very attentive, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them company and making them feel safe while you’re away. While I haven’t owned a cat myself, I’ve cared for them multiple times and have always connected well with them. I understand that every pet has their own temperament, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m currently working toward my Pilates certification, (which doesn’t take up much of my time as I only do it for a few hours a week) so I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to caring for pets. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. Whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and wanted to spend more of my time doing something I love while staying active and productive. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific needs so your pet stays in their normal routine :) I’m very attentive to each pet’s behavior and energy level, and adjust care to fit them, whether that means more activity or a calm environment. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean space with plenty of attention, supervision, and regular exercise. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Welcome! I have over 20years experience working with dogs. I like to look at my pet boarding as an Airbnb for pets! I am a former service dog trainer. I am currently enrolled in dog training courses through Rover. I will be completing a Veterinarian Assistant program this summer. There is always someone home or available. I work & study remotely. I do provide talking dog buttons. If your dog uses them let me know & we will have them available with words your dog uses & hopefully learn some new ones! Anything that is trending that promoted positive life quality for dogs I usually have on hand or am incorporating it into use Each day I incorporate daily walks, cuddles, & basic training. Basic training is eye contact, leash & buddy walking. I provide one on one time for the dogs each daily. I make sure no dog feels left out. In the summer months their last night of boarding they get a special walk to the ice cream store to enjoy a pup cup & extra one on one time. On weekends in the summers. I am outside most days . The dog/s can enjoy ice bowls, kiddie pool, water sprinklers and shade in the backyard. In the summer I offer water play daily! They have free will to come in & out of the house into the fenced in yard all day! In the fall & winter months the dogs can enjoy outside time by a warm outdoor doggie bonfire. There are areas they can romp in the leaves & explore. I also incorporate daily walks weather permitting. On colder days or rainy days we have a rainy paw day. If the dogs are open to it they can enjoy some doggy stretches, Spaw services such as coconut oil rubs on their paw pads, homemade doggie treats, and dog related movies and cuddles!

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and was fortunate to grow up learning from my father, an experienced police K-9 trainer and handler. That lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, as well as the patience and confidence to care for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I have experience with crate training, potty training, leash training, helping dogs become comfortable around children and other animals, and working through food and toy resource guarding. My goal is to provide every dog with a safe, structured, and loving environment where they can feel right at home. I currently offer boarding in my home and drop-in visits for all types of pets, as well as boarding for up to three dogs at a time to ensure each guest receives plenty of individual attention and care. Since I’m home throughout the day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I can provide frequent potty breaks for puppies, maintain training routines, administer oral medications according to your instructions, and offer the extra patience and comfort that senior dogs often need. I intentionally limit boarding to just three (sometimes four) dogs at a time so every guest receives individualized care and attention. For your convenience, I also offer flexible pick-up and drop-off services for an additional $30 each way. For boarding stays longer than three days, I may require a doggy daycare trial of at least four hours. This gives your pup the opportunity to become familiar with my home and allows us to make sure we’re a great fit for one another before an extended stay. For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, I may ask for proof of current vaccinations (required) prior to boarding. Every day is centered around providing a calm, structured, and enjoyable experience for the pets in my care. We spend time playing, enjoying supervised outdoor time, and fitting in plenty of cuddles and enrichment throughout the day. I do my best to maintain each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions you provide, so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a quiet place to relax, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. We live on a beautiful one-acre property with a fully fenced backyard where dogs have plenty of room to explore, play, and stretch their legs. Because our yard is surrounded by trees and natural foliage, I do require all boarding dogs to be on a veterinarian-recommended tick preventative for their protection. Whether your pet is staying overnight or I’m stopping by for a drop-in visit, I’ll follow their routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. Since we’re home much of the day, your dog will receive lots of companionship, playtime, and individualized attention. I also pay close attention to each dog’s body language and comfort level, allowing them to interact at their own pace. Teaching my children to respect animals, recognize their cues, and honor their boundaries has created a calm, gentle environment where pets are treated with kindness, patience, and the same love we’d give our own.

“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received! From the moment we left, we knew our pup was in great hands. Our sitter was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we came home, our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It's such a relief to know there's someone we can completely trust with our furry family member. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our dog!”

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and that hands-on experience is what I bring to every walk. I understand dog body language, pacing, leash manners, and how to read when a dog needs a break or a bit more activity — not from a course, but from years of actually living with dogs day to day. I treat every walk the same way I would for my own dog: attentive, on time, and focused entirely on their safety and comfort for the full duration. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little nervous around new people, or just needs a steady routine, I adjust to what they need rather than running a one-size-fits-all walk. You can expect clear communication before and after every visit, so you always know exactly how things went. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, so dog walking isn't squeezed into a narrow window — it's a real part of my daily routine. That means I can offer consistent mid-morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, and I'm also able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes in timing without it being a scramble. If your schedule shifts week to week, I can usually adjust to match it. Safety is the first thing I think about with every walk. When I arrive, I double-check that all doors and gates are secure before I bring your dog out, and I make sure the leash and collar or harness are properly fitted before we leave — no slipping out mid-walk. I stick to routes I know well, avoid off-leash areas unless specifically asked, and keep a close eye on other dogs, traffic, and anything that could startle or spook your dog. I always carry water on hot days and adjust the pace or length of the walk based on weather and how your dog is doing that day. Before I leave, I make sure your home is exactly as I found it — doors locked, lights as they were, nothing out of place. If anything ever comes up during a walk, you'll hear from me right away, not after the fact.

“Sarah was amazing with our pup! He loves her so much and she made sure he had no accidents the whole visit. She was so great about keeping us updated on how he was doing and sending photos to keep us posted! We would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet and knowledgeable pet sitter. ☺️”

Sarah S.

“Thanks for dropping in. On time and my pup is happy.”

Benjamin W.

“I had a great experience with Sara as my new pet sitter! She was quick to respond to messages and kept me updated throughout her visits, which gave me real peace of mind. She took excellent care of my cat, Buddy, and it was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being. I’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
