Cat Sitting Duarte

“Sheila cared for our cats again and did a great job as usual. They are always happy and healthy when we get home, and while we're gone, we get to enjoy her great personalized updates and photos. Sheila's always easy to communicate with. She accomodated a mid-trip change of plans this time with no problems. Thanks again for being such a caring sitter.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both cats and dogs as a child, which gave me an early appreciation for the companionship, care, and attention pets need. I currently have three cats, ranging from 2 to 6 years old, and I adopted each of them when they were young kittens at around 2-3 months old. Caring for them from kittenhood into adulthood has given me hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box care, grooming, playtime, and caring for multiple pets at once. I’m also comfortable caring for shy or nervous pets and understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I’m patient and willing to give them the time and space they need to feel safe. I can follow detailed care instructions closely and have experience giving oral medication when needed. I love spending quality time with animals, whether that means playing with them, going on a walk, giving them treats, keeping them company, or simply sitting nearby so they feel comfortable. I treat pets like family and will always do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m often able to accommodate short-notice requests and can also plan ahead for longer visits or pet-sitting needs. Because my schedule is flexible, I can be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and do my best to keep their schedule consistent while you’re away. I’m happy to come to your pet’s familiar environment, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, walks, playtime, treats, basic grooming, medication as instructed, and plenty of companionship and attention. I’ll also follow any specific care instructions you provide and do my best to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible. I understand that some pets may be shy or need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and happy to let them approach at their own pace.

“We are so indebted to the warm and loving care Mark C. gave to our cat Edie. We have never used a pet sitter we don't know before but Mark C was great from the beginning. He came by to meet Edie about a week before. He asked a lot of questions and was very attentive with her. Throughout the visits, Mark was very communicative and sent a lot of pictures. It was apparent that Mark got to know Edie, as he texted about her habits and quirks. I knew that Edie was in great hands. Mark is the best - I'd give him 10 stars if I could.”

“Kimberly was amazing! Just moved to the area and was nervous about finding a new sitter for a cat that recently became a solo cat but Kimberly eased all anxieties. Super communicative, timely, and considerate. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

“Joliana was so wonderful with our cat, Siri! We are always a little nervous to leave our elderly girl who has some light separation anxiety, and needs daily medication, but Joliana did great! She sent photos daily and assured us that Siri was relaxing and had no problem taking her medication. Joli also left our home in great condition. We would definitely hire her again in the future.”

“Trisha was responsive and great about sending daily pictures during Finn's stay. I could tell she took good care of him because he looked very comfy when I picked him up!”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life, I currently have 2 cats and 1 dog in my household and I was able to successfully acclimate them to one another using patience and positive reinforcement; and the 3 are inseparable now! Animals are my everything, I'm a recent college graduate with aspirations of running a non-profit animal sanctuary in the future. I'm currently working part-time and can meet any of your pet sitting needs with my schedule flexibility. I also go on daily walks as well, so any dog walks would perfectly fit my schedule. I am very experienced with caring for a variety of animals, whether it be in my home, a fairly large property with friendly animals, or yours; I can meet any of your pet sitting needs!

“Really communicative and flexible. Helped take care of our cat when we were out of town for two weeks. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had 7 cats growing up and I have been able to connect with them one way or another. My parents would travel a lot growing up so I would be responsible for taking care of them, and I love doing it! I love being woken up to a symphony of hungry meows in the morning, and getting cuddles before bedtime. My parents have trusted me to feed them, clean their litter box, and even take them to the vet while they are away, and I hope you can too! I am currently working on online school, which means I am able to work and look out for your kitties whenever and wherever you need! In your home, I follow all the rules that you give me, whether thats for your pet or your house. This can include rules such as making sure they don't go into certain rooms/areas in your home, handling them the way you would like me to, and not feeding them what they are not allowed to be fed. As the pet sitter, I also will not go into the rooms/areas you do not want me to enter and I will follow any other house rules you would like me to. I do not mind security and nanny cams. I am also more than happy to send you updates and photos of your kitties.

About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was five years old. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly believe every creature, big or small, deserves kindness, patience, and love. I take pride in providing thoughtful, reliable care and making sure each pet feels safe and happy while their family is away. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, feeding, or just a little extra attention, I’ll treat your pets like my own. Right now, I’m also working toward a special goal—starting a small savings fund to take my children on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Galápagos Islands, where we can experience the incredible wildlife together. I currently work full-time, but I’m available weekdays before 9 a.m. and after 3 p.m., as well as all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I’m also available for overnight stays any day of the week. When I care for animals in my clients’ homes, my goal is always to make them feel comfortable, loved, and safe while their family is away. I follow each pet’s regular schedule as closely as possible—feeding them on time, making sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and affection, and keeping their routines consistent. I take time to learn their personalities and any little quirks or preferences they have, whether that means a certain walking route, a favorite toy, or just extra cuddle time on the couch. I keep food and water bowls clean, tidy up after them, and send regular updates so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

“Emily did a great job with our two cats. She was always on time, sent plenty of updates, took care of everything asked of her, and was flexible with emergent situations. Our cats are very shy but she was very patient and accommodating for them and took care of all their needs, overall an excellent experience!”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have two 10-year-old cats and two dogs, ages 5 and 3, so I’m very familiar with the daily routines, personalities, and different needs that come with caring for multiple pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, litter box care, basic grooming, and following detailed medication or care instructions. I’m also experienced with older cats and understand the importance of being patient, observant, and attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy level. In addition to my personal pet care experience, I have formal animal handling experience from my scientific research background. I take pet safety seriously and always treat other people’s pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m used to planning my day around my own pets’ feeding, walking, playtime, and care routines, so pet care is already a regular part of my daily life. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible. Safety and routine are very important to me. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walking, medication, litter box care, and any special needs. I always keep pets secure during walks and visits, monitor their behavior closely, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are properly secured. I also respect each pet’s personality and give shy or nervous animals the time and space they need to feel comfortable.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up with both cats and dogs and have loved caring for them for as long as I can remember. I recently graduated from UC Davis with a B.S. in Animal Science, specializing in Captive and Companion Animals, and I’m excited to bring my experience and love for animals to Rover. I’ve also had hands-on experience caring for animals at various exotic animal sanctuaries and wildlife facilities, where I’ve helped with feeding, cleaning, enrichment, handling, and general animal care. Working with a variety of species has taught me to be patient, attentive, and respectful of each animal’s individual personality and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else, so I treat every animal like they’re my own! Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play, needs a relaxing companion, or is a little shy and takes time to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I am currently studying part-time, so will be available after 3pm Tuesdays- Fridays! I can be available Saturdays and Sundays as well upon request! I am totally comfortable adhering to any in-home standards you have in place for your pets. This includes crating, strict feeding procedures, and specific behavioral need.

“Neko took care of Elizabeth in such a considerate manner. She constantly sent me updates with pictures and notes about her appetite. She also tried to play with Elizabeth to get her attention after feeding her. I highly recommend Neko as she is very thoughtful and truly caring for my cat!”
