Schirn stayed at my home to watch my cat Pip while I was away. This is the second time Schirn has stayed with Pip. I highly recommend Schirn, she is great on communication with messages and photos of Pip who clearly was very comfortable being cared for by her.

About: I have loved dogs since I was little, growing up with pets in my home and caring for, bathing, and feeding them. I have experience caring for senior pets. I had one pet live with me for 14 years and am well versed in the unique needs of senior pets, including special diets, medication administration, and gentle exercise routines to keep them comfortable and healthy. I also have a solid understanding of animal behavior and training techniques, which helps me handle both puppies and senior dogs effectively. I can assist with basic obedience training and socialization of puppies, making sure they develop good habits early on. On the other hand, open communication with pet owners, giving them updates and being responsive to any specific instructions or concerns, is very important. I currently work part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your puppies. I'm available for boarding, walks, or visits on weekends anytime and weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. I would be very happy to care for and spend time with your pets. By focusing on these aspects, I ensure that pets receive the best care possible while feeling safe and loved, whether they are in my home or theirs.

About: Fun fact: my profile picture is of me and Panda 🐼, the first fur baby I ever took care of for a family friend when I was 12! I am someone who has always grown up around animals including dogs, cats, turtles, and birds. I’ve always had a desire to take care of them, so much that at one point I wanted to go to veterinary school. Although I decided to switch to nursing, being able to take care of the adoring pets of others is something that I’d love to keep as my hobby. I’ll make sure to love your pet the same way I loved the ones I grew up with. All in all, I get to distress from school, and they can get all the cuddles and play in the world. It’s a win win! I’ll also make sure to keep you updated with pictures and videos so you can rest assured that they’ll be in good hands :) I am currently a full-time nursing student, with all of my classes being on Tuesdays. Besides that, I am available any other day of the week :) I also speak Spanish! When caring for your pet in your home, my top priorities are safety, respect, and consistency. I treat your space with the same care and cleanliness I’d expect in mine, and I make sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I will carefully follow your instructions, stick to your pet’s routine, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. Whether it’s feedings, litter box cleaning, going for a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m reliable, gentle, and always respectful of your home and your pet’s well-being. You can relax knowing they’re in trustworthy, experienced hands.

This was my first time having a sitter stay in my home and I could not ask for a better experience. Catherine took care of my 2 dogs and my home better than I could imagine. She provided daily updates with pictures and videos. She followed detailed directions and kept their routine up perfectly. She put me at ease while I was travelling so I could really focus on my trip. I came back to a clean house with happy dogs. I could see they were at ease with her too. She’s a pro. I would not hesitate to use her again. Thank u so much Catherine. 🙏💕

About: I have worked and taken care of Animals my whole life. A dog changed how I see life. You realize all you need is some attention and reasoning an life can move on smoothly! I have two current dogs I care for dearly, I take care of them as they were human too. So I would expect me to do the same as well to your dogs. No matter what size or breed. To me and many dog owners know that no one can be as loyal as your dog. We see dogs more then just a pet to someone else. We see some them as humans best friend! Your dogs will love to meet a new friend! They will definitely love to meet me!

We booked Austin to stay with our cat while we were away for the weekend. Austin was compassionate and professional, giving us regular updates over the course of his stay and going above and beyond to thoroughly follow her complex feeding routine. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind he provided for us while we were away and we’ve already booked him to watch her again in a few weeks. If you’re looking to be sure your furry friend gets the best off care while you’re away don’t hesitate to hire Austin!

Vanessa did an absolute amazing job staying with Onyx. She was with him for two days and a night and did everything that I asked her to do the exact way I asked her to. She kept in touch with me the whole time and dealt with my paranoia as I never left him before.. She left the house, nice and clean and took out the garbage. I will definitely be booking her again. Thank you Vanessa.

Saifa is incredibly communicative and detail oriented. I have two reactive 1 year old dogs and they liked her immediately, which is rare for them. She carefully followed all instructions including separating their food and their walks to ensure they didn’t pull too much, and she sent photos every hour! I highly recommend her, she’s great with animals, reliable, and takes great care to do a wonderful job.

Hunter was fantastic. I have a super needy and affectionate senior cat who needs a companion more than anything when we are out of town. Hunter made himself available to hang out with coopy and sent pictures of the two of them snuggled up. He made me feel comfortable being out of town by knowing someone affectionate was also looking after my cat. Finding a GOOD cat sitter on Rover can be difficult but he was a gem!

Aaron is truly wonderful. My dogs absolutely love him. He is loving and patient and gives them lots of walks & cuddles. After a house sit with Aaron, my big dog constantly rolls onto her back for tummy rubs & I'm sure it's because she's now accustomed to LOTS of tummy rubs from him! He is also very respectful of my house. I am happy to leave my dogs and apartment in Aaron's capable hands anytime!
