Cat Sitting in Deerfield Township

“Sharon's service is outstanding. This was the 1st time someone outside of the family has taken care of my fur grand babies and they were happy. She sent videos and pictures of them, washed their beds, gave us report cards and they left with new collars and snacks. My daughter and I am so pleased with her services. I will truly use her again when I travel. What a relief to know they will be in great hands.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve had extremely large pets and the daintiest little animals. I am always the person at parties petting whatever animal I can get my hands on. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets for a long time and I am always happy to do so. Feeding, walking, play time, and enrichment are all things I love to do and do regularly with my dog. My schedule is pretty open except for the occasional doctors appointment and caring for my dad. I tend to be able to work around any conflicts to help better serve others. I treat all pets as if they’re my own. Safe walks, making sure the ground isn’t too hot, hydration, and some kind of stimulation makes a happy pup. If it is too hot for walking, and depending on what you’re comfortable with, either a walk indoors at a dog friendly store or enrichment in the home, or just playtime on grass can be offered.

“Thank you always for taking such good care of all our babies!!!!”

About: Animals have always been a passion of mine since I was I little. I have 2 dogs of my own, and I work from home full time. I have experience in medication administration, feeding, bathing, exercise, basic training, and even some basic grooming. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, fish, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, ferrets and even squirrels. I am experienced in rehabilitating rescues, wild and domestic. I can honestly say that I am most happy when spending time with animals. I was an active EMT for 5yrs, and learned animal CPR and first aid along the way. I have references to verify my love for animals and background. I am dedicated and my heart is in the welfare of every animal I encounter. I am open to pet daycare during the day while I work from home with frequent backyard outings for a potty break or a quick game of fetch. Free after 530pm to do walks or drop ins. Open to boarding in my home any night or in the owners home on the weekends/occasionally overlapping into weekdays. I have two lovable dogs who love to play that will keep your little one company while they are in my home. I have 2 crates that can be put up if needed (one large, one small). I live in a small, quiet neighborhood with little to no traffic where walks can be done on leash. I do not have a fenced yard, so dogs will be leashed for safety while on my property. Rooms in my home can be separated with safety gates if feeding is needed. At a client's home, same rules apply for outside time unless there is a fenced yard. I will follow any routine that your pet is used to in their home. Two 30min walks or one 1 hour walk will done to burn that energy.

“Melissa E. sat with our three 11 week old kittens while we were out of town for the day. She sent me pictures throughout the day and even crocheted them a toy!!! We will definitely be booking her for our summer vacation!!”

About: Hello ! My name is Amanda and I have been around dogs my entire life. I’ve recently moved into a new house and am looking to get back into helping you and your pets ! I have never known what it is like to live in a house without at least one dog and I don't think I ever will. I started pet sitting for family and friends about 8 years ago and haven't looked back. I have experience with all different breeds ranging from Huskies to Chihuahuas. I also have experience with there being more than one dog in the house so that is no problem. I currently have two dogs, Leo and Koda. Leo is a 11 year old Terrier/Toy Collie mix and Koda is a 8 year old Catahoula mix. I recently added an addition to the family and now have a 1 year old cat named Sushi as well! I a have experience with other animals such as birds, reptiles, rabbits, etc., so I can gladly help out with anything along those lines as well. I would love to help you and your furry friends out ! I can also provide references upon request :) I currently work remotely full time so I am home all week. I am also able to leave periodically during the morning and afternoon for walks and can work remotely from anywhere if house sitting is required. I have a very flexible schedule ! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. My cat also thinks he’s a dog and is very friendly and social. I also have lots of space if your animal needs to be crated at any point.

“Celia was a great cat sitter! She made sure they always had plenty of food and water and was good with giving yuzu his vitamin supplement twice a day. The litter was always cleaned and she sent so many pictures of them with updates. She was always on time and stayed for the full hour so that my kitties had some play time (and cuddle time) in. Would highly recommend!”

About: "As a dog sitter. I take pride in my ability to be attuned to dogs with specialized needs. Your dog will receive the highest level of care and attention, tailored to their unique circumstances. I've worked with pups and senior dogs with limited chewing abilities, dogs with separation anxiety who need consistent care and dogs with bowl and bladder issues who need more attentive care. My top priority is doing whats best for your furry friends needs! I have open availability 7 days a week at an affordable price that fits your budget. 1. Initial Assessment: I start by having a discussion with the dog owner to gather crucial information about the dog's habits, preferences, and any special requirements. This helps me understand the dog's routine. 2. Consistency: Whenever possible, I maintain the dog's established daily routine. This includes feeding times, exercise routines, bathroom breaks, and playtime, as familiarity provides comfort and stability. 3. Flexibility: I'm flexible and responsive to any changes in the dog's behavior or needs. If a dog seems anxious, energetic, or unwell, I adjust the routine accordingly. For instance, if a dog needs extra playtime or a shorter walk, I accommodate those needs. 4. Nutritional Needs: I follow the owner's instructions regarding the dog's diet meticulously. If a dog has specific dietary requirements or allergies, I ensure that their meals are prepared and served as per instructions. 5. Medication and Health Care: If the dog requires medication or has health concerns, I'm experienced in administering tablet medications and providing any necessary care. I keep a close eye on their health and notify the owner of any changes. 6. Safety and Comfort: Ensuring the dog's safety and comfort is a top priority. I create a secure environment, free of hazards, and provide cozy resting spaces where they can relax. 7. Communication: I maintain open communication with the dog owner, providing regular updates and photos to keep them informed about their pet's well-being. 9. Positive Reinforcement: I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior and provide mental stimulation, making sure the dog is mentally and emotionally content. 10. Emergency Preparedness: In case of emergencies or unexpected situations, I have a plan in place to ensure the dog's safety and access to appropriate care. Overall, my approach is based on attentiveness, adaptability, and a deep love for dogs. By closely aligning with each dog's unique needs and routines, I aim to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience during their time under my care!

“Diana watched our kitty Gypsy again recently and did a great job. We really appreciate the care she gives him and the extras she does like watering the basil plant. I like that she gives detailed updates even when Gypsy was being a bad kitty.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. My babies are lifers. Your animal is my number one priority. I prefer animals over humans any day I quit my job to walk dogs full time. I’m always available if you need me. Your babies are my babies. I’d prefer dogs over humans I have a fenced in yard and no one can escape. I abide by what the client asks for in their and my own home. I walk, play with your dog if toys are presented

“We have 7 cats between 2 households and Julia sent photos and updated me every step of the way via texts while we were away. Our normal caregiver, who is not with Rover.com, backed out on us 4 days before we were going away and Julia was glad to help and arranged a meet and greet right away to learn where everything was and when to feed the kitty crew. If I had any questions about how things were going, Julia got back to me within a few minutes. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet care giver.”

About: I have had pets in my life since the day I was born! I have extensive experience caring for cats, dogs, as well as rabbits. I also have a semester of Veterinary Technician education, and about 6 months of professional Vet Tech experience. I am comfortable with feedings, walks, playtime, litter boxes, medicine administration, and can even trim nails and give baths. Your pets will always be treated like my own! Currently I am available Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I may be available other days, but that schedule varies due to childcare. Visits outside of those days may require I bring my toddler along, which is not always ideal for everyone. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes of pets, just let me know what your pet needs and loves and I'll take it from there! As soon as I arrive on site I'll send a quick text to update you, so everyone is aware and informed, and I'll send a text when I've left. I prefer a meet and greet a few days before care starts as this will make my first visit go much more smoothly and help ease any anxiety anyone may have - especially your furbaby!

“We have had Ashley care for our two cats every time we go away and she is always caring, conscientious and committed to attention to detail, making sure all their needs are met with fresh water and food. She's the best!”

About: Hello! My husband David and I are both registered nurses who love what we do. We also love our three dogs and are interested in more but for now, looking to Rover for the “fix”. All three of our pups are incredibly friendly and well behaved. We are a crate trained household so our dogs go into their crates when we are out of the home. David and I both have flexible jobs in healthcare. We are able to swing home periodically throughout our days and adjust our schedules last minute if need-be. We are a smoke free home with a great fenced in backyard. We are excited to hear from you and learn about your pets. Please reach out if you think we may be a good fit! Pet care is easily integrated into our daily routine. We have three dogs of our own that we care for. All of our pups are crate trained and go into their crates when we are out of the home, otherwise they have the run of the home. We have a great half acre fenced in yard. We also love to take walks with our pups in the neighborhood and nearby park! Our dogs are a bit crazy at first but calm down and are big loves.

“Destiny was absolutely wonderful. I just got home from my weekend trip and found Kylo like I’d never left him :) Her communication is 10/10. Pictures and check ins were 10/10. She even took the time to come meet us before my trip. I hope she continues doing this because I can’t imagine having anyone else but Destiny.”

“Excellent experience with Steph, I highly recommend and will be sure to book with her again.”

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with professional experience working at a dog kennel where I care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have hands-on experience with blind and deaf dogs, as well as diabetic dogs who need insulin shots. I’m confident giving any kind of medication that your dog may need, and I always make sure they feel safe and loved. I’ve been working with dogs, professionally for just under a year, but I’ve been dog sitting for over four years. I treat every dog like my own, and there will be no shortage of love, patience, and comfort in my care! Pet care is a huge part in my daily life! I work with dogs multiple days a week and outside of work I regularly help friends and family with their dogs. Dog care fits naturally into my daily life and it’s not only just a part of my routine, but something I genuinely enjoy and make a priority! When caring for pets in a clients home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would my own! I always follow the owners instructions closely, from feeding routines to walk schedules and any special needs. Communication is key, so i send regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets safety and happiness are my top priority!
