Cat Sitting Center Harbor

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. In addition to caring for pets through Rover, I previously volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained experience working with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I learned the importance of patience, building trust, and making sure each animal felt safe and comfortable. I've also cared for goats and chickens through family friends and am happy to help with feeding, fresh water, collecting eggs, and making sure they're well cared for. Whether I'm playing fetch with an energetic dog, taking long walks, spending quiet time with a senior pet, or caring for farm animals, I enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and home is a big decision. I'll treat them with the same love and attention I would my own, while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. As long as I have a reliable Wi-Fi connection, I can work from almost anywhere, meaning your pets won't be left alone for long periods. I do occasionally have virtual meetings during the workday, but they're typically brief, allowing me to quickly get back to giving your pets the attention, walks, playtime, and companionship they deserve. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat them and their space with the same respect and attention I would my own. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you are away. I always take time to give them affection, keep them active, and make sure they are happy and relaxed. I also keep things tidy and make sure your home is just as you left it. Communication is very important to me, so I send updates and photos during each visit so you can feel confident that your pet is well cared for.

“Jane took great care of our furr-babies. She sent some pictures, were sure they were exercised/played with and cleaned up an “accident”. Your pets are in good hands with Jane!”

“This was my first time using Cloud after my regular sitter had to relocate. Cloud came highly recommended and it shows. She was patient with my semi-feral baby girl and loving with my big cuddly boy. She went above and beyond to ensure they were fed, cleaned up after and had treats to make it through. Cloud was extremely responsive and timely with her arrivals to see my babies. I’ve already rebooked her for my next few days of travel!”

“Hailey looked in on our 2 cats every day while we were on vacation, and I could tell they were well cared for when we came back. She was very responsive and provided photos every day. When our flight home got cancelled, she even came an extra day which relieved some of the travel stress! Definitely recommend, and I would book her again for cat care. Thanks Hailey!”

“I have a very shy dog and after trying 2 other sitters he finally warmed up to Sarah! I was surprised how quickly he did take to Sarah, she has away with animals!

I can honestly say i feel very confident leaving rico in Sarah's hands!”

“As anxious dog parents we had a great experience working with Leah. She was very communicative and worked well with our pups which helped a lot with our anxiety while away (5 total visits). Would definitely book again!”

About: I have cared for all types of dogs big and small, and have lived, trained, and babysat dogs since i was little! I love animals, and currently have a flexible schedule to be able to care for yours. I treat them as if they are my own, and will love them with every ounce i have! I will show up in any weather, and have no problems giving medication. I have no fears of any size dog, and am usually the one found with the dog rather than people at any gathering ha! I am super careful, super thorough, and very reliable. I currently do work, but with my schedule I have a lot of time available during the day and afternoons, some nights. I am lucky in that my schedule is flexible, and can do daily visits, walks, short/long term, and potentially overnights. I am able to do overnights with your dog at my house, or happy to come to you as well. I have a big fenced in yard, and live across the street from a giant beautiful park with trails and fields to play in. I have friends who live on my street who, if ever needed, are beyond trust worthy if your pup ever needs anything. My boss also lives next door! I also live right near two other parks, and beaches. I am in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks as well. I grew up with dogs my whole life, so my parents are also near by. Im also close to two animal hospitals

“Kate is great!!!! She takes great care of our kitties while we are gone and is an excellent communicator. It is such a relief knowing that they are in great hands while we are away. Thanks Kate!”

About: I’m offering drop in visits and dog walking. I have owned dogs and cats throughout my life. I currently have a 5 year old dog who I have had since he was 10 weeks old. I also have two cats. I work full time as a nurse. My schedule is different every week but I am available on a lot of my days off. I love animals and I look forward to helping take care of yours pets! I work three 12 hour shifts a week as a nurse. My schedule is different every week so I will make sure to always edit my availability. I currently know my work schedule up until September 5th, 2026. I am happy to know what your specific needs are for your pets. Please let me know how I can best accommodate your pets needs.

“Mary Beth is absolutely amazing!! Milo absolutely loves her. It is obvious she takes pride in her work and loves the animals in her care!!”

About: I have spent lots of time with a family dog and have been a sitter for several breeds over the years, often through friends and family. I am always over the moon to meet and spoil (to the owners comfort) a new furry freind! I am currently a graduate student which allows me the flexibility to schedule quality walks and play time with your pups! I typically work from home 50% of the work week, so getting out for a walk in between computational work is a win win! As a dog walker I will make sure your pup has a positive high quality walking experience. If I am sitting, I will ensure all fur babies get the level attention and care they need to feel safe and happy.

“Dawn was easy to work with, she checked in on our cat everyday for 3 days, and sent photos and a report card through Rover. We look forward to using her again for our next vacation. Thanks Dawn!”

About: I’m an all animal lover, I have several pets including two young dogs that I adopted. We love to go for walks, play at the park or hang around the house and play with toys. We would love to spend time with other dogs or any pet you may have. I am available evenings and or nights and some afternoons. I work the evening shift as a nurse and know how hard it can be to find some one you can trust with your babies, especially on the off times. I can provide safe play and walks with or without my dogs, experienced with ferals, ages from young to old and of course lots of love and healthy snacks.also experienced with caged animals and bearded dragons!

“We really enjoyed working with Andrea from our first meet and greet through receiving her drop in cards while we were traveling internationally. During our meet and greet Andrea asked a lot of great questions and put us at ease with her experience. Our two cats were well taken care of! Will definitely rebook in the future. Thanks Andrea!!”

“The absolute best pet sitters in the Lakes Region! Our two dogs were well cared for on our well long vacation!”

Jess V.

“Jen did an excellent job caring for our cats while we were on vacation! We have two cats, and one has special medical needs as she is diagnosed with diabetes and requires insulin shots twice a day. Jen was very patient with her, as she has some bathroom issues also due to her diabetes and doesn’t always make it all the way into the litter box. Our other cat is a Maine Coon who requires some extra enrichment and attention. Jen took the time to play with him each time she visited. Jen checked in with us often, sent us pictures and provided us with detailed daily reports about each of our cats. We highly recommend Jen!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience providing overnight pet and house sitting for stays ranging from a week to 10 days at a time. I’ve also helped family and friends with basic dog training and behavior support. As a lifelong animal lover, I genuinely enjoy the companionship dogs bring and love keeping them active, engaged, and happy through walks, outdoor adventures, hikes, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. As a small business owner with a flexible schedule and a few part-time commitments, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, cat care, feeding, and house sitting, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. While I occasionally need to step away for client appointments, I am typically gone for no more than 4–5 hours at a time and always make sure pets receive timely meals, potty breaks, exercise, and attention. I appreciate advance notice whenever possible so I can plan accordingly, though I may be able to accommodate same-day requests depending on availability. When caring for pets, I like to take time to get to know each animal and build trust at their own pace. I believe every pet has a unique personality, so I try to follow their lead and create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe and secure. Depending on the pet’s needs and temperament, I provide enrichment through playtime, walks, outdoor time, and plenty of affection. Whether a pet is energetic and social or more reserved and independent, my goal is always the same: to ensure they feel cared for, content, and as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats in my house and now have my own kitty Arnold 🐈 I’ve been pet sitting for my family for years and hope I can pet sit for you too! I just moved to the area as I am studying for my Masters Degree! I am currently working part time and attending a Masters Program online so my schedule is very flexible! I am in the lakes region most weekends as well. In my free time I do a lot of walking so taking dogs for long walks is not a problem! I have a car that can fit atleast two XL dogs in the back. My cat has had health issues so I can administer medication for both cats and dogs
