Cat Sitting Carpenter

“Rosemary is a fantastic pet sitter. She took incredible care of our cat and he loved every visit. She had excellent communication, gave us detailed updates on our cat, and went above and beyond to understand our and our cats needs, including feeding, supplement, toy, treat, litter and other needs. We would absolutely work with her again.”

“Doug took great care of my cat while I was out of town. He cares about genuine engagement with them and spent a lot of time with him. He also provided detailed report cards of each visit with plenty of pictures. I came home to a happy cat. I highly reccomend Doug if you need someone to watch your pet!”

About: I've been working with animals since I was 18, when I began volunteering with my local humane society, where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, socializing, and handling animals. I went on to work as a veterinary assistant at an animal clinic/hospital, where I learned more about handling animals and administering medications for cats and dogs. I no longer work at a veterinary office because I'm currently in an online bachelor's degree program that makes a traditional full-time job difficult to manage. But my schooling is incredibly flexible and I love working with animals, so part-time pet care is perfect for me! I have done pet-sitting for cats and dogs in the past, but I am also comfortable working with fish (I had a beloved betta fish in high school). I am definitely open to caring for other animals, but I would need additional instruction to compensate for my inexperience. I have particular experience with special needs animals because my own cat, Birdie, has hind limb paresis. She scoots around instead of walking, wears diapers, and has daily oral medication. "Special needs" encompasses a wide range of conditions, so I won't pretend to know how to care for all disabled animals but my personal experience provides me with the patience and flexibility to learn about the particular needs of your pet. I'm currently in a flexible online degree program that allows me to shape my schedule around my clients. Pet care through rover offers me supplemental income and ensures that I get out of the house regularly! I understand that every animal is different, so I don't have a universal approach to pet-sitting. I believe enrichment is essential to an animal's wellbeing and I incorporate that into my pet care. I make sure to take time to play with pets as well as feed, walk, or clean after them.

“Xiuli was an absolute lifesaver! She came through for me in a pinch and did an amazing job caring for my cats. From the very beginning, she was dependable, responsive, and incredibly kind. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treated my cats with the same care and attention she would give her own. She kept me updated, gave me complete peace of mind while I was away, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Coming back to well-cared-for cats meant the world to me. I highly recommend Xiuli to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable cat sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again! 🐾❤️”

About: Hi, my name is Kira. (Preferred name: Chanell) I may appear new to Rover, but I promise this isn’t my first rodeo. Pre Covid I was a sitter here on rover with a close friend of mine. This is MY first solo rover account so I’m open to question if anyone has any reservations about my abilities. I’m a big animal advocate. Since a little girl I’ve always had deep feelings when it came to animals. I believe their feelings matter so much and if you pay close attention they do communicate with us. I’d love to care for your babies while you’re away. I’m here to help in anyway I can & provide peace of mind for you & them. It’s more than a gig. It’s my life’s goal to make a difference. One pet at a time. I work M-T and my weekends are always free. I’m very into fitness and getting moving. Caring for your fur baby would be a great addition to my routine. I want your fur baby to be as comfortable as possible which is why I currently only provide drop-in visits & walks. I want to keep them in their world instead of trying to pull them into mine. I adapt to their space so that they can continue to feel safe and secure.

“Andrei did an excellent job taking care of both of my dogs. I highly recommend him for any breed. I have a large mastiff, and he and Andre instantly bonded. Andrea is also very communicative and responsive when needed.”

About: I’m a caring and reliable animal lover with experience caring for a variety of animals. Most of my experience is with cats and dogs, and I’m comfortable providing plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and basic daily care. I also have experience caring for smaller animals, including rabbits, goldfish and other animals found in my pictures. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs companionship, exercise, feeding, or simply someone trustworthy to keep them company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own! 🐾 I work four 10-hour shifts per week as a nurse, with two of those shifts being remote, which gives me added flexibility to provide care and attention throughout the day. I also have weekends and holidays off, allowing plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and quality time with your pet! I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, attention, and plenty of love. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual personality, routine, preferences, and needs so they feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’ll follow their normal feeding, medication, exercise, and potty routines as closely as possible and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, cared for, and right at home while they’re with me.

“Ben was great! He was on time for each visit, did what was asked for our pets and plants, asked questions, reported issues, and communicated about the pets throughout the week. He was tidy and even walked the dog for miles in the summer heat! I will definitely hire him again.”

About: I've had dogs since I was born and I gained a lot of experience caring for sick and elderly dogs as I grew up with my dogs. I've been my friend's chosen cat sitter for four years, caring for all 5 of their cats, young and old. I have a flexible part time schedule where I am available most weekdays and some weekends. I am happy to spend nights or just stop by during the day. Let me know exactly how to make your pets feel at home and safe and I will do everything I can to make them feel special all the time.

“Joy went above and beyond, continuing to check on my cat in the midst of a tropical storm. She also made sure other aspects of the house were secure, as requested, and was respectful of covid cautions.”

“Sydney was great with all of our kitties, including giving medication and extra TLC! She was communicative and willing to do anything needed. (She was also wonderful with our dogs, who traveled with us, but loved meeting her!)”

About: Hi pet parents! I’m a dog and cat mom, foster parent, and Registered Veterinary Technician. I have dedicated my life to caring for all kinds of animals and truly believe that pets aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I know how stressful it can be to leave them with someone else. I’ve been in your shoes. So whether your pet is a tiny lap dog, a giant couch potato, an independent cat, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My sweet pup Summer was a stray dog I found on the streets of North Carolina. She reminds me daily just how important patience, understanding, and meeting an animal where they’re at can be. I know that not every pet immediately feels comfortable with a new person or environment, and I’m more than happy to take things at their pace and give them the time they need to feel safe. You can expect regular photo and video updates, because I know how much better it feels to see your pets happy and enjoying themselves while you’re away As a relief RVT, my schedule is pretty flexible which makes it convenient for me to fit your pet sitting needs into my day-to-day work. At this time I am not taking any boarding bookings but will happily watch your pets in the comfort of their own home I follow all rules and instructions provided by the pet parent to the T, as you know your pet best! I will respect your home and pets as if they were my own

About: My experience begins with caring for my own pets and my family's pets. I owned 2 female Lionhead rabbits as a child who I still reminisce about to this day. During this time I also afforded the opportunity to care for a close friend's male Holland Lop rabbit! In addition to this, my parents had their own chickens that I adored; I cleaned their coop, fed them daily, and would pet them for hours. My experience with dogs is quite extensive: I've washed, walked, and administered medication for elderly dogs as well as young ones, cared for ones with anxiety, played with energetic farm dogs for hours, walked strong ones who pull at the sight of any person & animal, and walked ones who can't get close to other people & animals. My experience with cats include feral, semi feral, and house cats. I've repeatedly given overnight care for 7 semi-feral cats who's daily feeding schedule was strict & specific, one of whom required medication. In that same house was an elderly dog who had his own, separate, regimented, feeding & walking times (and demanded lots of love that I was happy to give!) Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle as someone who enjoys spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day, whether that means multiple daily visits, overnight stays, or extended drop-in sessions. I prioritize reliability and punctuality, understanding that pets thrive on routine and consistency! I'm happy to accommodate early morning or late evening visits, and I always provide photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and well-cared for. My availability is generally open throughout the week, and I'm comfortable committing to both short-term and longer-term bookings. I build my schedule around your pet's needs, not the other way around. Safety and trust are my top priorities in every pet care situation. In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect: cleaning up after myself, securing doors and gates, following your specific instructions carefully, and maintaining your pet's established routines to minimize stress and uphold any training that has already been given to your pet(s). I'm attentive to potential hazards and ensure pets are supervised appropriately based on their temperament and needs. I follow all feeding guidelines precisely, administer medications as directed, and watch closely for any changes in behavior or health that might need attention. Due to my training as a Registered Behavioral Therapist for human, I keep detailed notes and communicate openly with pet parents, sending regular updates and photos. Whether caring for pets in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure environment where animals feel comfortable and safe. For pets staying in my home (if applicable), I ensure a pet-proofed space with separate areas for different animals if needed, and I never leave pets unsupervised in potentially stressful situations. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my first concern.

Plus, my ground-floor apartment has a private fenced yard — perfect for safe outdoor play and easy potty breaks! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I look after. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, I prioritize consistency so each pet feels secure and loved. I dedicate time every day for: 🐾 Play sessions and enrichment activities 🐾 Feeding and fresh water 🐾 Extra attention for puppies On a weekly basis, I also set aside time for extended stays or special needs care, ensuring every pet receives the attention they deserve. For me, caring for pets isn’t just a routine—it’s part of who I am. Caring for pets safely is my top priority, whether in my home or the client's home. 🐾 In my home: pets have access to a clean, comfortable space with fresh water always available. I keep a calm environment, supervise pets closely, and follow each pet's routine. Hazards like cleaning products and small objects are kept out of reach. 🐾 In your home: I follow your instructions exactly — feeding schedules, walk routes, and house rules. I keep doors and gates secured, and I send you photo updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. Taking care of pets is something I truly enjoy and do with love and attention. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and bathe their dogs for years. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, and I treat every pet like part of the family. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I enjoy caring for animals and easily make time in my routine to walk, feed, and give them attention. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on time, walked regularly, and given lots of love and attention. Whether in my home or the client’s, I keep the environment safe, clean, and comfortable.
