Shayla was awesome! She did a great job of documenting the time spent with our cat, was very punctual, and seemed to genuinely care about her job. We highly recommend Shayla and look forward to having her watch our Tony again.

We can’t thank Jill enough for stepping in and helping us last minute when another sitter bailed on us. The amount of love, attention, updates, and pictures she shared are above and beyond what we hoped for. Both animals took her in immediately and highly recommend everyone to book her:)

About: Welcome to CharMollys Pet Sitting! As a dedicated cat sitter and boarder, I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where your cat can feel at home while you're away. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, whether they're playful and social or shy and reserved. My home features a private, air-conditioned room designed to help cats feel secure and stress-free. I take the time to learn each cat's routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys, and special needs. I am patient with nervous cats and experienced in building trust with pets that may need extra time to warm up to new people. During their stay, your cat will receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and daily care. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can see how your furry family member is doing while you're away. Your cat's comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your feline family member! – Mario CharMollys Pet Sitting 🐱Weekday drop-offs and pick-ups are preferred before 7 AM or after 4 PM due to my daytime schedule. On weekends, I have open availability and can be much more flexible with timing. Feel free to message me to coordinate what works best for you and your pet 🐱 Your cat will enjoy a calm, private, air-conditioned room designed exclusively for cats. I provide personalized attention, daily photo and video updates, and an stress-free environment where shy, nervous, and senior cats can feel safe and comfortable. With years of feline care experience, I understand cat behavior and give each guest the patience and care they deserve. Unlike traditional boarding facilities, your cat will stay in a cat-only environment with no dogs, helping reduce stress and create a more relaxing experience

About: I am new to Rover, but I have many years of experience in taking care of animals. In addition to living with cats and dogs for most of my life, I have also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society. In addition to pets, I also volunteered at the Wildlife Science Center with feeding animals such as foxes, raccoons, bobcats, a lynx, and skunks, and I had the opportunity to care for wolf pups at the International Wolf Center. I am recently retired, so my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and most evenings and am able to work around your schedule. I currently have two cats and previously had dogs, so I understand the importance of keeping them on a regular schedule. Being around animals gives me joy, so I look forward to spending quality time with your pet. I follow your instructions and make sure to follow your pet’s lead when interacting with them. I send you pictures, so you can see how your pet is doing when you are away. I can also check mail and water plants if needed.

About: I have lived with and taken care of a variety of animals my whole life. I have had dogs, cats, and even rats. I am very comfortable around them. I am looking to spend more time with animals. I am available all five days of the week. I am flexible as to what time of day. To let your dog out, I will put it on a leash and take it outside. If you occasionally crate your dog when inside, I will be able to accomodate that as well.

Danielle was great! More importantly, our 4 year old (Yuji) enjoyed her company while we were away. It’s always great to find sitters who love cats and seek out opportunities to kitty-sit! Our instructions were followed, and we were able to relax a bit while knowing that he was very well taken care of. Would recommend 100%!

Kelsey was fantastic! Ollie and Lola loved her. She left the house in great shape and we had aproplem with a complaining neighbor (who always complains) that the dogs barked and Kelsey had too many dogs to walk so Kelsey spent the night! Very flexible. She sent photos! I'd hire her again in a heartbeat.

I used to stress about Marcel while I was on vacation, and worry that he was unhappy or sad. When Abbie takes care of him now, I don’t worry about that at all. I know that Abbie takes care of everything he needs and I get good updates every day. When I come home, Marcel is happy and well cared for. 🥰

I knew from the get-go that Laura was a good fit for us and our pets. Our two kitties warmed up to her immediately. Laura provided regular, detailed updates with lots of photos and we felt confident that our cats and house were in good hands. They were happy when we returned and didn’t even seem upset that we were gone. Thank you, Laura - we hope you are available next time we’re out of town!
