Cat Sitting in East Petersburg

About: I have had dogs all growing up and have had close friends (of course) that also had dogs, cats, and ferrets. Although my dogs were always smaller per my mom’s preference, one friend in particular always had Dobermans and if you didn’t know them they were definitely intimidating. But, as we all know most dogs are just cuddle bugs or rambunctious kids in a dog’s body. I have always been surrounded by all types of animals and I would love getting to hang out with the horses at my summer camp as a kid. If you’ve got a pet, I just know we will get along great. I work a pretty standard job working 9-4. I have roughly an hour lunch break so if your pet requires potty time, medicine or food I am able to fulfill that need. I am also able to be there before and after work (obviously) to make sure your furry friend is happy, calm, and completely content. Since I have cats my routine may look different to others. We free feed our cats but I have sat for people who do not so I am seasoned. Our geriatric cat, Kitty, who was originally my grandma’s cat, requires medicine daily for her arthritis. We have had her over 2 years so I am very aware of administering medicine from current and past experiences. I am flexible to yours and your pet’s needs so we can all make sure your pet is as comfy as can be.

“Melissa is very punctual. We leave the food in bags on the counter. She takes good care of our cats Frosts and Smokey. She feeds them, gives them fresh water. Frosta seems to greet her. Smokey likes to hide except when he gets fed. The cats seem to like her. She sends pictures of them after each visit. We have used Melissa twice and are looking forward to use her again in the future. I recommend her.”

“I highly recommend Gabriella! My small dog is fearful of meeting new people, but Gabriella was able to earn his trust. She is very kind and competent. She was also an excellent communicator and was able to easily adapt to care changes on short notice. We had perfect peace of mind while we were away from home.”

About: I had a pet cat from the day I was born, but got my first kittens when I was 5 years old. When I was 9, we recused a dog we named Honey and I instantly fell in love with dogs. Currently, I have 2 dogs, have fostered 22 dogs, and was the Foster Coordinator for a rescue in Texas before moving to PA. Taking care of my dogs is my top priority. They get a walk in the morning before breakfast. After breakfast, my beagle cuddles up to me while I throw the ball for my golden retriever. I spend the day giving them enrichment mentally and physically. I care for other pets the way I would care for my own. Each animal I am entrusted with gets top tier love, care, and attention. I am not distracted when caring for the pets I am entrusted with. I follow all instructions I am given and always look over the animals to ensure they are in good health and physical state while in my care.

“Alexandria was great! Very attentive and communicative. It's always reassuring to have someone do great amazing drop in care for our senior dog who doesn't travel well anymore. Would definitely book again in the future!”

“Danielle was wonderful with our cat Charlie. He’s usually very shy about news people, but they became fast friends. I was totally stress free about leaving him, knowing he was in her care.”

About: If you are a cat person, looking for a fellow cat person to care for your furbabies while you’re away…you’ve come to the right place! I’ve owned cats for the past 15 years and currently have 4. I have experience with the littlest kittens to the 20+ year old seniors. I’ve also had a variety of other pets throughout my life like rats, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles and lizards. Though I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to cat sitting and have done so for family and neighbors throughout the years. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your cats! 😺 My current schedule revolves around my daughter’s online school and extracurricular activities but this gives me a lot of flexibility in the morning, afternoon and evening. I am a reliable and trustworthy person who understands that pets are our family. I know first hand how difficult it can be to leave our furry friends in someone else’s hands so I promise to treat them like one of my own!

“Jaden was such a huge help! She was so good with my 2 cats and took wonderful care of them, while also keeping me up to date on how they were doing while I was out of town. One of my cats is very wary of new people, and Jaden was even able to win her over much more than I had expected! She went above and beyond in taking care of my pets. Also with Jaden being a vet tech, I knew that I could have such peace knowing my cats were incredibly safe and happy in her care. Definitely recommend!”

About: Animals are my passion. I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs/cats of different ages and sizes. Through my years of experience, it’s easier to coax the most timid of animals into being my buddy. I like to learned and study what each animal needs or wants! So they are the most comfortable with me and on walks. I currently work super early in the day. I can check on animals midday through the afternoon and night. I’m free most weekends so any overnight stays would be fine with me. I would traditionally prefer animals to be in their own home. I know it can be stressful enough for an owner to leave their animals so I’d like for them to be the most comfortable in their own home.

“Alyssa did a great job sitting for our cat while we were away for a week, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! During the initial consultation, Alyssa took the time to understand our cat’s personality, routine, and quirks. We felt completely at ease leaving our cat in her care. During our absence, Alyssa provided daily updates, complete with adorable photos, which put our minds at ease. We returned home to the same happy, well-adjusted cat that we left a week before. It’s clear our cat received competent, loving care. We would definitely use Alyssa as a pet-sitter again.”

“Heather took care of our dog for drop-drop-in visits while we were away for 5 days. She took great care of our pup and communicated well. We would book her again in a heartbeat!”

About: As an experienced dog foster, I have cared for more than 25 dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, representing a wide variety of breeds and sizes. In addition, I was the proud owner of four dogs who each lived long, happy lives and reached their senior years before crossing the Rainbow Bridge. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the important role pets play as beloved members of the family. As a school teacher, I enjoy a very flexible schedule during the summer months and would love the opportunity to support families who need a safe, loving temporary home for their four-legged companions. Whether your pet needs overnight care, companionship during the day, or some extra exercise and attention, I am committed to providing the same level of care and affection that I would give my own dogs. As a teacher, I am currently on summer break, so I have availability daily throughout the week for play sessions and dog walks. I am also available for multi-night lodging. When you’re here, you’re family. Any animal under my care will be treated as one of my own. But with me, you get a whole family who are all trained in caring for dogs and cats, as each member of the household has been involved with fostering pups and raising kitties. The second floor of the house is separated by a door at the top of the stairs to allow separation between feline and canine friends if needed. Daily photos and FaceTime are available. We have multiple-sized dog crates if crating is requested. Although we may be new faces to your four legged companions, we will try to keep consistency in the rules you have at your home. If they are allowed on your couch, then they will be here. Feeding schedule will be dictated by how they ate at home. Walks will be frequent and there is a huge box of dog toys and cat toys to keep them entertained.

“Lucia was great with our dog! She kept us informed with updates and pictures and gave him the attention he needs. We'll definitely book her again!”
