Top rated Clayton cat sitters
“Having never used Rover, I was grateful that this first experience was a stress-free one. My regular sitter suddenly became unavailable, and I had four days to find a replacement. Mariah was a godsend to me. She was punctual and communicative. She quickly responded to every text I sent — and there were many. I give her and Rovers five-paw status. Thank you. 😍”
“Stephanie was wonderful with our girls!! I was apprehensive as I had to extend our travels and have never left them for such a long time, but Stephanie was reliable and prompt with her visits. The girls enjoyed her visits. Thank you!”
“We could not be happier with our experience with Shannan! She went above and beyond to care for our cat while we were away. Shannan accepted our booking within a week of our trip and we really appreciate her flexibility. She sent us updates everyday with photos and let us know how she was doing. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our cat made us feel at ease. We knew our cat would be in good hands within minutes of meeting Shannan. Super lucky to have found her!”
“Sarah went above and beyond during her drop in visits for Nunu! She left such detailed information that I had no worries about Nunu during my trip! Sarah also helped set up a new litter box for Nunu because she noticed Nunu had an accident outside her litter boxes, and she asked questions whenever she was unsure about anything. I highly recommend Sarah to take care of your cats!”
“Claire is very attentive and professional. She is always my first choice! I can tell she genuinely cares about animals and providing the best care possible. She is very kind and considerate. Claire is very respectful of my home and my pet. I definitely recommend her!”
“Samantha was great and made sure Athena was well cared-for while I was away for a couple of days. She left good updates and was even able to get a picture of my (very shy, usually hiding) kitty.”
About: I grew up fostering animals from the Humane Society of Harford County, caring for animals with the range of young puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats. And, yes, I’ve “foster-failed” a few times, and have multiple cats and dogs of my own. A house isn’t a home without a fur baby. I am a middle-school teacher who currently has full availability now that summer vacation has begun. I’d love to fill my time off by caring for your four-legged friends! Fostering animals with a variety of backgrounds, training levels, capabilities, etc., has given me a lot of experience with creating a safe and happy environment.
“Angela made me feel so comfortable while away from my babies. She was super engaged at the meet and greet and ensured that I received detailed updates while she was dropping in on my cats. She went above and beyond. I will most certainly will be rehiring her!”
“Kelli was absolutely fantastic. She Thank took such good care of our kitty Eve for us and our fish Edgar & Jano. It was nice knowing our animals were being well cared for while we were away. We truly appreciate Kelli! Kelli has such a warm and welcoming vibe about her our kitty Eve took to her instantly. Kelli shared photos and videos with us everyday. We'll definitely be leaving a review and using Kelli in the future 😊”
“Ashley was a wonderful sitter! She tried to give Nunu her antibiotics, but unfortunately, Nunu wouldn't cooperate 😭 But nevertheless, Ashley kept trying and was very responsive on her attempts!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have trained them to be hunting dogs and overall good boys. On top of that, I have raised and fostered different kitten litters and cats. I have patience and an overwhelming appreciation for animals of all kinds. I would love to get to know your good boy or girl I have very flexible hours during the summer months since I am a teacher. I am available after school during the school year and on weekends. I provide a safe space for cats and dogs. I have a lot of respect for my animals and animals in general. They are the most pure things in this world and I try to reciprocate love and appreciation to them.
“Mikeyla took great care of my dog while we were away! She went above and beyond! It was so nice not having to worry about our dog. We will definitely be using her services again!”
About: I have been caring for animals since I was around 6 years old. I have cared for dogs, cats, horses, sugar gliders, farm animals, and so much more. I absolutely love any dog from the largest paws to the littlest paws. They’re a part of our family and deserve the best care they can offer. I don’t mind if it’s a little bouncy puppy or an older senior living out their last and most important days. They all deserve the best care. I have always had a lot of luck when it comes to pets who may be high anxiety around new people or who may just struggle with general shyness. I can also handle a pup or an older dog who may just not be able to potty outside. I understand that everyone’s situation is different and not every dog is the same. I accept and can handle any dietary requirements the dog may need and I can walk the dogs personally or allow them outside in a yard depending on how you prefer it. My goal is to keep your dog as comfortable as they are when they’re with you while you’re gone. I have pets of my own, so caring for them on a daily is very important! Lots of walks, time for meals, playtime, and meeting general needs! This includes food, water, medications, etc. I have lots of time for furry friends and can care for them whenever someone may need it. As a pet lover myself, ensuring a pet is happy and well taken care of is very important to me and I will meet all of their daily and weekly needs. When I’m staying at someone’s home, a pet’s care is always very important. The care all depends on the specific needs of your pet! For example, if your pup needs to be exercised at a park nearby or just walked a good while a few times a day near the house, I can absolutely do that. If they prefer to just lounge around the house and cuddle, I’m totally up for it! I can do any feeding routines along with daily exercise or training routines your pet may be used to. I can even try and start a new routine for you if you’ve been trying to start one. I always take great care of my pets making sure they have fresh water, comfortable places to lay, nice clean fur, food at the right times and amounts, plenty of potty breaks and play time, and of course, love! Breakdown- - walking your dog as needed or even bringing them to a park nearby if it is what you desire - ensuring they are safe and have access to the potty whenever they need it and checking throughout the day in case they don’t like to tell! (Keeping up with daily cleaning for litter boxes when it comes to cats) - cleaning up any messes the dog or cat may make during the stay and keeping track of anything they may eat.. shoes must really look yummy to some pups! - keeping up with a daily/weekly feeding schedule - keeping the water fresh and clean at all times so your pet never has to worry about being thirsty. - understanding the daily playtime routine and making sure your pets feel loved and have lots of fun! - keeping up with lists you may provide specific to pet’s needs. - ensuring all daily and weekly medications are given to the pet at the times they are needed or as the schedule says to do so. - anything specific needs your furry companion may need are always welcome and will be put into the routine.
