Cat Sitting in Carland

“Ashley, who goes by “Red,” is an absolutely wonderful human being, and if she is available, book her! Back in May, as a first-time user of Rover, I created 3 separate bookings with a sitter who had glowing reviews. However, on the day of our meet & greet—only 1 week before our first trip—she completely ghosted us. I nearly panicked because I didn’t think we’d be able to find an available sitter on such short notice. I hopped back on Rover, entered my dates, filtered by Star Sitters, and hit “search.” Red was at the top of my search results, and after looking over her profile, I felt like she may be a good choice. Although her calendar showed her as available for the dates of our trip, I was prepared to be let down. I sent her a message explaining our situation. Not only did she respond quickly, she also responded with kindness & empathy. Best of all, she was available to sit for our beloved kitty! AND she volunteered to come over the next morning for a meet & greet! Less than 24 hours after reaching out to her, Red messaged me to let me know she was on her way to my house. Upon opening my door, I immediately liked her. Seriously. She just radiates this incredible energy! She is also so kind, compassionate, and engaging. She explained how she has devoted her life to caring for animals, and she just lit up as she was telling us about it. Best of all? Sassy, our shy & anxious kitty, came out of hiding pretty quickly to investigate her, and by the end of the visit, was giving Red love rubs on her leg! This was unprecedented, and we were absolutely shocked. Sassy’s response to meeting Red left no doubts in our mind; we had chosen the perfect caretaker for our precious kitty. We booked Red for two of our three camping trips. This review is based on our second booking with her, and we couldn’t be more pleased with her! She is the sweetest person! And an excellent communicator, which is vital for us anxious pet parents who are forced to leave our beloved (and vulnerable!) pets home alone. I had no qualms leaving Sassy alone this second time because I knew that Red would take excellent care of her…and she absolutely has! I am so sad that Red is not available for our third trip, but if she’s available next summer, you can bet I will be booking her!”

“Teri was great! Clara, my cat, was totally comfortable with her right away. Teri was timely and attentive, I look forward to booking with her again next time I am in need!”

About: Hi! My goal is to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable while getting the best form of care I can provide. Growing up with animals, especially dogs, has taught how to be a patient and caring person. I’ve built a relationship with my own dog off of trust and want to do the same while caring for your pupper! I’m a focused and detail oriented person and will work to ensure all your specific needs are met. Currently I’m working part time, so I have a flexible and pretty open schedule to take care of your pets. I’m also good with last minute changes and can easily switch around my schedule for what works best for you! I live in a small town with plenty of areas to walk dogs and I also have a fenced in back yard. I have one dog and two cats that do well around other animals, as well as a trustworthy vehicle to take me to your location.

“Amanda was amazing with my two kitties! They loved her and were well taken care of! Highly recommend!!”

About: I have had a dog almost my entire life with short breaks in-between, I have always taken care of my animals and before I was old enough to pay I'd tag along for vet visits ! I've always been the person to call for animals in my family, most recently I've watched my neighbors cat upstairs for 4 days or I've watched my step sisters medium sized dog for her multiple weekend away trips and lastly of the more recent I house/dog sat for a close friend of mine for a week with her two dogs! I'm not shy with bigger dogs I had a Pitbull/Lab mix and I now have a German Shepherd who has allergies that we take care of! I'm currently working part time making donuts overnight so I would be able to stop by after my shift ends early morning (typically 6:30-7am), after I wake up (early afternoon so 2pm), then evenings before my shift(before/ around 8pm) ! I'm available most days besides Sunday/Mondays with give and take! I always make sure pets are fed on time, they're taken out multiple times a day, even taken on walks when needed and of course playtime! I also do not mind having to give animals their oral meds or maybe some cream on the skin or medicine baths!

“I have been so happy with her and can’t say enough about how great she has been. She responds promptly and is great at keeping us up to date with our fur babies. Would recommend her to everyone”

“Great care! Highly recommend. She even contacted me to let me know something was weird in the house. She went above and beyond. I will be hiring her again next time we need care.”

“Hannah took great care of our pets over the weekend! Very trust worthy and communicative, never worried once that our 4 dogs wouldn’t get what they needed!”

About: I’ve had so many kinds of animals over the years and I love caring for them! I also grew up next to a dairy farm where I helped all the time! My grandparents owned a farm and flower business as well. I hope you’ll trust me to care for your pets! I’m available during the week most days after 4:30 pm until 11 pm (no Thursdays, and random days I’m not available during kids baseball season but will know the schedule way ahead of time so I can schedule around those. I’m available on Saturdays except between 9-1 pm and available all day Sunday until 11 pm. My pets are spoiled! We have a dog, a cat and 2 birds at the moment. They each have their own beds, toys and frequent grooming. Playtime is alllll day, especially for my shih tzu who is 13.

“Diane is great! Communicates well and is timely! I will use her again!”

“Brooke was amazing ! I’m a Paramedic in Flint so I work long days . I have a new pup that is 5 months old and he’s crated while I’m at work . She came to my house and was able to let him out and play with him . She gave him some water and a couple treats . I booked her again because she seemed to do really well with my puppy . She communicated with me and I am very grateful to her for taking the time .”

About: I’ve almost always had a dog for the past 24 years. Currently have a hobby farm: goats & alpacas. We have a house cat, barn cat, & hairless crazy sphynx cat. We have our Golden doodle and often our grand dog too. The dogs are all very chill. But love to play when out in the yard. I love taking pet photos and I can almost bet while I’m with your pet I will take a few photos as well. I work from home running my own business and therefore I can easily manage my schedule. . Errands can typically be run by another family member if needed. That leaves me open to accommodate most pet needs. When I am watching your pet in your home I will provide some training or work with your training needs. I can provide some stimulating games. I love taking pet photos so I can keep you updated with cute photos! When taking your pet for a walk I will be happy to follow your routine. If snacks are ok for your 4 legged family member then I’ll be happy to spoil them with some.

About: Hello, I am Grandma Cindy, I have been taking care of peoples homes and pets for years. Pets included dogs, large and small, cats, horses, goats and chickens. Your home will be kept clean and safe, your pets loved and cared for. Start planning your trip today! I am self employed and work from home. My work hours are flexible and I am available to attend to your homes or pets needs. I am ready to care for your home and your pets in their home environment. Keeping beloved pets in an environment in which they feel safe and comfortable is most important to me.

About: I have been keeping pets since I was a small child. My father owns a farm, my mother is a professional dog groomer. I worked for preuss pets over 5 years. I can handle anything from hobby farm animals to exotics like birds and reptiles! You name it I've probably watched it before. Welcomed to new experiences too! I am a stay at home mom with an assortment of pets. I take care of everyone on the daily. I would love to spice my day up helping with your crew! I am very professional, will treat your pets like my own. I am not afraid to ask questions to make sure they are reciving the care you've requested!

About: I've owned pets of all kinds starting as a child! Animals bring me incredible joy, and I'd love to bring that joy into your home when I watch yours! I've owned, rescued and loved cats, dogs, rabbits, ducks, raccoons, birds, and squirrels! I currently own 4 cats, all of which were rescues. Two of them brother and sister who I hand raised and bottle fed. I also have 3 dogs, A gaggle a blue heelers, so I'm especially used to high energy pups. Though they very recently left my care due to a separation. I take great pride in the attention to detail I give to the animals in my care. I'm experienced in giving all kinds of medications, to both dogs and cats. In fact, one of my own kitties has kidney disease, and I've been managing his treatment and care 100% alone. Cooking him three meals a day, hand feeding, administering any medications needed, and even giving him at-home subcutaneous fluids. But as always, let's please communicate about the details of your pet beforehand if any special care is needed so we can make sure we're a great fit for eachother! I'm a corporate professional who is very fortunate to work from home, and has really great control of their schedule! So I can very likely work my schedule around your needs! For those whose pets I will be dropping in on to feed or walk, I take great care in making sure instructions are followed, and all the needs of your pets are met! I have an abundance of love to give, so rest assured that they'll get as many scritches as they can handle, and as much fulfillment as I can give while I'm there. I know what it's like to have to leave your fur-family alone, and I'll do everything I can to make this time a positive one for them, and you! I also offer cat boarding, which seems rarely offered. I wanted to offer this because I myself have been in a situation where I've needed this service, and I've never found a place that offers it, and it was absolutely so stressful so try and find a solution! For the kitties that stay with me, I have a completely separate spot in my house that I will have them stay in, since I have kitties of my own. The previous owner of my house actually had this section designed as an in-home salon, so it has a completely separate entrance into my home. As cat owners, we know how sensitive and stressed they can get, and introducing cats to other new cats just adds more unnecessary stress. This separate entrance and room allows for a stress free, safe environment that's large and clean to play and hang in, all to themselves! They will have their own sanitized, fresh litter, litterbox at the ready for them. No need to have to haul your own supplies here! Just bring any food and treats (or any special toys or blankets that you feel might be good things for them to enjoy their stay better, or be more at ease!) Your pets must be fully vaccinated in order to come stay, so please be ready to show proof of up to date vaccinations prior to any boarding bookings. This is for the safety of both your fur babies and mine.

About: I've had a dog for the past 5 years ( shiloh ) she's a German Shepard! She is wonderfully and well trained also is fixed. she does love to greet people so she might jump. I've also dog sat for many years as well and I worked for a dog company back in 2017 where I took care of daily task as well as medical needs when necessary, and worked along side pregnant and and birthing mothers. I have had a couple cats growing up, none to call my own though. So I am also acquainted with the care of cats and kittens as well as shiloh was raised around all types of animals and children of various ages so we are comfortable saying there should be no issues with her. However we can make other accommodation for her if you don't feel comfortable with another animal in the home. One final note I have 2 children a 1 year old and a 3 year old. I hope you enjoy my profile and to hear from you soon! I have a 5 year old German Shepard who lives full time with me and my children at home. I know how to give medication, shots aswell as cut nails and bathe but I do not feel comfortable trimming or giving the dogs a hair cut. I don't have a fence, i do have a little yard but I have harnesses and leads to walk and take the dogs out side to play. I do have a crate available if needed my dog is trained as well as crate trained. Shiloh ( my dog ) love the company of other fur babies to run around as play with. My two children are also in love with animals but I do have a vary large second living room and attached mud room that I can limit off for dog access if it would make having a dog stay here more comfortable due them not being used to children!

About: My love for animals has been an extension of me for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats so I am well phased in caring for both. I do not claim to be a dog trainer but I will care for your animal in all ways that fit their needs, whether that means senior or puppy care! To me, every animal has their own unique personality and I am so excited to get to know them! 😊 I work full time so I will need two weeks in advanced for in home pet care including overnight stays, however dog walking is something that I set time aside for daily so I can fit time for that into my schedule every day! I can offer client in home care your your pets and daily dog walking. I am familiar with crate training, scheduled feeding and daily exercise.
