Cat Sitting Chenequa

“We were so happy to find Kim to care for our three cats. This was our first time having someone from Rover care for our cats and it was also the first time one of our cats needed medication administered twice per day. The cats were also adjusting to a brand new regimen of each having a special diet per the vet, so it was not an ideal time for us to leave town. However, Kim did a wonderful job and really made us feel confident and at ease while we were on spring break that they were being well cared for. We got reports and pictures with every visit. Kim was great at communicating and keeping me in the loop as she figured out a system of how to best give the meds and meet their special dietary needs...balancing needing to get the meds in but also making sure she kept a good relationship with them so they wouldn't hide, etc. By the middle of the week, the cats were already asking for belly rubs and to play fetch. It was really heartwarming to see them doing so well while we traveled. I would not hesitate to recommend Kim. Thank you so much, Kim!”

“Brianna did a great job taking care of my two cats while we were out of town. She diligently looked for them when they were both hiding and checked in with me when she couldn’t find one of the cats. You can tell she is a very caring person. Will definitely use her again for future trips.”

“It was wonderful meeting Shay and she did a great job watching Dewey and Stella for the first time! She was reliable and communicative, which I really appreciated. Our Dewey is a rescue and is shy to people she doesn’t know. Shay understood and handled it well. Will definitely be asking her to watch our dogs again!”

Abbie S.

“Tara is a wonderful, engaged, and considerate sitter. I have never seen my nervous dog relax with anyone the way he did with Tara. She kept me updated with notes and photos while I was gone and I came home to a happy puppy. I would definitely recommend Tara to anyone with a skittish dog!”

They provided updates and lots of pictures. I know Cheddar had a blast and would give them a 5 start review :) 10/10 would book again!”

About: I have been a dedicated animal lover and pet owner my entire life. My experience is rooted in long-term personal ownership and recent, reliable caregiving for friends and family. Dog Expertise: I grew up with dogs and, prior to moving to this neighborhood, I was the trusted, regular dog walker and sitter for family and friends. This experience involved handling daily walks, managing feeding schedules, and providing necessary companionship and playtime for various breeds, including both high-energy and senior dogs. Cat Expertise: I am a current, devoted cat parent (along with my husband). I am highly proficient in all aspects of cat care, including understanding subtle feline behavioral cues, managing litter box routines, and ensuring a calm, stress-free environment for shy or independent cats. General Care: I am reliable, responsible, and committed to following your specific care instructions precisely. I understand that sticking to a pet's routine is essential for their well-being. Specific Skills Medication Administration: Comfortable and capable of administering oral medications (pills or liquid) as needed. Safety & Walks: Skilled in leash handling and ensuring safety during walks in local neighborhoods. Home Security: Highly respectful of your home and dedicated to maintaining security and cleanliness during my visits. Communication: Committed to providing detailed updates, photos, and clear communication after every visit. Since I work from home, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine and is a welcome break from my desk! I look forward to the opportunities to get out for walks and visits. Here is how I structure my day around my pet clients: Midday Priority: My lunch break is specifically reserved for client visits. I am typically available between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to ensure your pet gets a much-needed potty break, walk, or play session to break up their day. Flexible Bookends: My WFH schedule allows me to be flexible and accommodate early morning or evening walks/check-ins (e.g., around 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM), which is crucial for pets needing a dinner time routine or a final potty break. Pet-Centric Household: Pet care is a core part of my life. My husband and I are devoted to our cat, Remi, and caring for him—including managing his special diet and occasional medication—means maintaining a consistent, pet-focused schedule is simply normal for me. I only provide care right in your home—I don't offer boarding at my place. Pets are happiest where they live, and I love bringing the care directly to them! How I Care for Your Pet (20–30 Minute Visits) For Dogs 🐕: Walks & Routine: I stick strictly to your routine! As a WFH person, I love getting out for focused, safe walks, whether it's midday or an evening stroll. Safety First: I have lots of experience walking and sitting for friends/family, and following instructions is my top priority. For Cats 🐈: Calm Connection: As a dedicated cat parent, I understand and adjust to different cat personalities. I focus on reading your cat's mood, providing quiet companionship or playtime on their terms. Special Needs? No Problem: Just like my own cat, I'm totally comfortable handling oral meds, special diets, and those essential quick clean-ups (litter box/accidents). I promise clear communication and lots of fun photo updates during and/or after every single visit!

“Melita did an amazing job taking care of my dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter and would happily book with her again in the future.”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve cared for cats since childhood, regularly looked after a spirited but lovable German Shepherd, and spent time around various animals including livestock. Currently, I work at a premium dog kennel and daycare, where I’ve gained valuable experience managing dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. What truly sets me apart is my deep rooted love and comfort around animals. I connect with them easily and genuinely enjoy their company more than anything else. Their well-being is always my first priority. My work schedule can vary between 6 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., but pet care still fits naturally into my routine. I work at a dog kennel/daycare, which gives me the unique ability to bring dogs with me if I have a long shift or if they need all-day supervision. Dogs are evaluated for daycare, and if they’re not comfortable around others, they’ll go into private play—where they get one-on-one outdoor time every few hours. The accommodations include beds, water bowls, and even free dog food if needed. I cover the cost myself, so your pet’s comfort and care are always a priority. We also offer baths at my work, which could come in handy for some dog owners. Since I’m unable to bring pets into my home, I offer in-home sitting and care. I believe the best care comes from following the pet owner’s instructions closely—no one knows their pet better than they do. I’m here to provide exactly what they feel is best for their pet’s comfort and routine. Through my work at a professional dog kennel, I’ve gained valuable experience recognizing signs of stress or discomfort in animals. If a pet seems uneasy with me or their environment, I adjust immediately to ensure they feel safe and secure. Additionally, if you're a beginner pet parent with any questions or concerns about caring for your pet, I’m happy to offer guidance and advice to help you feel confident in your role as a pet owner.

“Cindy Is the ideal cat sitter. I wanted to not have to worry about Baby Bear having a clean litter box and eating his wet and dry food. Cindy was there for him and he’s happy! That’s what a great pet sitter does.”
