Cat Sitting Dexter

“Courtney is amazing with our senior, blind dog and high energy adult cat. Her communication and updates put us at ease as it was our first time leaving our recently adopted cat alone. Highly recommend.”

“Betsy was fantastic with our cats! During our initial meet and greet both cats came out to greet her, which is a rarity with strangers. During her visits she took great photos and provided detailed information about how they were doing. Betsy is great!”

About: I've personally cared for multiple dogs and cats for most of my life. I've most recently provided in-home care for a number of pets on Trusted Housesitters along with my partner for the past three years. We have received consistent five-star reviews from pet owners. I've also cared for my own two small dogs, and am comfortable managing daily routines, exercise, and behavioral cues. Most recently, I've supported a senior cat with health issues during an acute period providing attentive monitoring and calm, consistent care. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to be present for walks, daily care, and lots of one on one attention on a regular basis. I live on a quiet two-acre country property with open space and low traffic dirt roads. The yard is not fenced so dogs are always supervised outdoors and kept on a leash for walks.

“Lola immediately connected with Katie when they first met. We appreciate her dependability and communication.”

“As a first time Rover user, we were very happy with Alyssa! She took great care of our older cat and communication was excellent. She personally called when she noticed water in our basement after a storm, and then moved a few items out of the water for us. We would definitely use Alyssa again!”

“Lauren took the time to carefully read through all the background info I gave her about my reactive dog in advance, and she did a great job of following all the instructions I'd given her about how to set him up for success when he's meeting a new person. She was mindful of his sensitivities and was a calm, competent, and friendly presence when meeting him. We'll definitely book her again!”

Emily R.

“Melissa was fantastic! She treated my dog like family and kept me up to date every visit. I was very nervous about leaving my dog at home but Melissa made it easier. I will 100% request her again.”

About: I've been caring for pets my whole life, and have been a trusted sitter for family and friends for many years. I've also been a volunteer for the Humane Society since 2019, helping socialize and train some of the most challenging shelter dogs and cats. I have experience with large and xl dogs, senior animals, and puppies and kittens 8 weeks and older. I grew up in a family that adopted all sorts of pets, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, horses, parakeets, and one very majestic iguana. While I don't currently have any pets since my last elderly fur baby crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I look forward to adopting again in the future from a rescue organization. I'm a freelance grant writer, which means lots of flexibility to meet your scheduling needs. I can do drop-in visits and overnights at your home, and will happily send you as many photos as you like. Your trust and your fur baby's well being are my top priorities. I always make sure to follow any instructions or rules you have for your home and pets.

“Karen was absolutely amazing taking care of my cats while I was out of town. The power had gone out at my house due to a storm and Karen went the extra mile to make sure my cats were taken care of and sent updates with pictures everytime she stopped by. She is extremely reliable and caring, I am so happy to have booked with her. Thank you so much Karen!”

“Alexis did a great job taking care of our kitten! Pepper has a lot of energy so it was great to have someone take care of her and play with her while we were away. She sent pictures of Pepper playing every day which I loved.”

Sarah W.

“We so appreciated Deaunna coming over to take care of our pup when we needed to be out of town for the day. She sent lots of pictures and updates. We trust her completely. She has become part of our family.”

About: I grew up with dogs, as many do. I have experience with an anxious reactive dog, experience taking our dogs through behaviorists and trainers, and experience potty training a puppy. I have watched cats for a handful of friends and have checked in on dogs for other friends and family as well. I am starting with Rover and looking to make a little extra money. Each pet is different and each schedule is different. Reach out and we can talk about what your needs are. I prefer to do meet n greets if you have a pet with behavior concerns. I would care for pets in a client's home, depending on their preferences and needs. A check in would include a meal if needed, walk if needed, medication if needed, potty time if needed, and play time or snuggle time if needed.

“Maeson was very communicative and easy to coordinate visits with. She went above and beyond in sending photos and information and my cats got plenty of attention and play during her visits. Maeson was also very on top of logistics such as building access and cat care requests, which gave me peace of mind while out of town. I would absolutely recommend Maeson and plan to rebook in future. :)”

About: I currently work at a vet tech. I’m hoping to pursue veterinary school within the next couple years. I have a cat, dog, and tortoise of my own. I love taking care of animals. I’m willing to be flexible with rates too. I have experience sitting independently. New to Rover though! Im working part-time so I have plenty of flexibility with my schedule and will do my best to accommodate your fur babies. They’ll be treated like my own! I cannot provide boarding unfortunately as I don’t have a house. However, I am definitely willing to come sit and do overnight stays if you live a reasonable distance from me.

“This is my first time using Rover to get a pet care giver. I am very satisfied with the result. I would come back to Julie for future needs of visits.”

“Autumn took amazing care of my cat Ruby! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with, I would highly recommend her and would definitely have her take care of Ruby again!”

About: I am overall an animal person and have taken care of pets for neighbors and friends for as long as I can remember. My experience includes dogs and cats varying in ages; from pets under the age of 1 to over the age of 14 and am willing to learn more about caring for animals of all ages and varying needs. I also helped some neighbors with some (very) basic dog training to help them become more confident in their journey in raising their new family members. Additionally, I like to maintain communication with owners (especially in the beginning for repeat clients) by asking questions relating to care, boundaries set, and of course sending lots of pictures! My current availability is Mondays-Thursdays any time after 10am, however I am very flexible and can adjust if needed. I am only available for day visits as I have to care for my own cats as well. I have two cats myself who I've had for about 12 years. My cats mean everything to me and I'm constantly observing their behaviors to ensure they are happy and healthy. I do set boundaries in my home for my own cats (not that they follow them anyways lol) such as not hanging out in the kitchen, making sure they're separated for meal times, no going into certain rooms, etc., so I will respect boundaries clients have set in their homes as well. As stated in my bio, I am very communicative and like to maintain regular contact with owners to give them peace of mind.

About: I have cared for quite a few dogs (and cats) in the past, some young and some old, some big and some small. No matter how much hair your dog has, how rowdy they are, or how fragile they have become, I will care for them all the same! I promise I am reliable, responsible, and always put your pets' needs first. I can take your dog on a walk, feed them, make sure they get plenty of fun exercise outside, and show them all the love and care they deserve. I hope to meet your adorable pup(s) soon! I am a student and a part-time employee though I have lots of flexibility in the summer. Most days and times work for me! I have two sweet and lovable cats of my own, so I am unable to care for pets in my own home. I am very active, though, and I love going for walks. So why not have an adorable dog by my side!

“Olivia was thoughtful, communicative, timely, and so sweet with Brodie. I was stress free knowing she was the one giving Brodie some love every day when we were gone.”

About: Our family has had many pets over the past 45 years; horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, cats, and dogs. My love and care for animals is abundant! I’m retired, flexible, and available 7 days a week during the day or evening. I also may be available on holidays depending on family plans. I would care for your pet in your home according to your detailed instructions. The safety of your pet and developing a trusting relationship with you pet are both very important to me.
