Cat Sitting Florence

“Tanya is the best! She gives super thorough updates (including great pictures), takes care of our cat so well (and gets along with him better than most people do lol), and goes the extra mile (cleaning up unexpected kitty throw-up, bringing in packages, etc.). Can’t recommend her enough!!”

Caleb F.

“It's my first time using Rover, and the pictures Heather sent were both reassuring that Sparks was doing good, and adorable. Heather was great about everything else, too.”

“Another great month of Ash visiting our needy cat Lucy Stoner! Ash is reliable, communicates in detail, and goes beyond the basics in every gig.”

“Thomas has been wonderful with our pup. They have great walks together. He’s kind and responsive, and we feel very comfortable having our big ball of energy of a pup with him!”

About: I’ve cared for pets since I was 9 years old- I find such joy in connecting with animals and getting to know their unique personalities! Various close connections in my life have and continue to rely on me to care for their pets when they are away or need extra support for their pets. I am excited to meet you and your animals and build relationships with people and fur babies of all kinds! I am prioritizing caring for pets, therefore have a very flexible schedule! Reach out to me and I am positive we can find a schedule and routine that works for us both :) I can crate your dog if necessary through experience with my own dogs, and I have experience administering medication safely when necessary. I am very diligent about ensuring the safety of pets to abide with whatever their owners are comfortable with.

“Great experience with Emily. She's conscientious, reliable, sends terrific and fun updates on each visit, and is willing to take on extra tasks like taking our cat to the vet when we discovered he had worms right before leaving town. She and our cat Zeke really hit it off, as I'm sure she would with any animal. Would definitely book her again.”

Jim L.

“Very attentive and communicative. Was on time for the visits and even gave a little extra time when she could which we appreciated! Very professional and knowledgeable. Would book her again!”

“Noah is a caring soul who my sensitive cat liked right away -- cats can tell! He is super reliable, spent time interacting with my cat, and I've already booked him for when I'm out of town again. I'm very glad to have found such a good, local pet-sitter.”

About: I have experience taking care of pets with varying attachment styles - ranging from anxious, young dogs to elderly, affectionate cats who need lots of attention! I am very adaptable and can match a pet's energy levels well. I appreciate taking the time to get to know a pet in order to build a comfortable bond. I am a local graduate student, I mostly have classes in the mornings during the week and currently have limited responsibilities outside of school, so I have lots of time to dedicate to pet care. I like to learn pets' physical boundaries, so I ease into how I approach playing and petting with them. When I have cared for anxious pets who experience separation anxiety when away from their owners, I focus my care on maintaining a calm environment in the home while making sure they are fed and hydrated.

About: Hello my name is Nieves, I have been a devoted animal lover my whole life! I enjoy spending time with animals, and lived with my own beloved dog Roscoe Burgers, until he passed in the fall. I believe every animal is unique and special, and worth getting to know. I am looking to spend time with your furry loved ones, be it going on a walk, or give you complete peace of mind while you are away from home. I am a true animal lover, and can't wait to meet you and your little sweetums. I work from home 3 of the 5 days I work, and enjoy going on walks in the immediate area. I walk before I got to work, on my lunch break, and after work. This is a habit I developed with my beloved pooch, and would be happy to continue with your pup on the leash. I also am happy to provide check-ins, or stays as your pet sitting needs ebb and flow. I am pretty structured, and can stick to the plan, or instructions that you lay out for me. My own dog was sick for almost 2 years near the end of his life, so I am familiar with administering medications, and needing to stick to a stricter timeline as needed. I also enjoy collaging on my phone, and would love to give you picturesque updates of your sweet pal(s).

“Bena is a very kind person and that makes for a kind pet care provider. Great communication and photos. Daily. Our family highly recommends considering Bena for your pet care needs.”

“Heather is an incredible cat sitter! She loved our kitties, and they loved her! The pictures and report cards we received were exactly what we needed since we missed Mercury and Lynx so much while we were away for two weeks. Heather is caring, loves playing with the cats, is experienced, and knowledgable. She's also very communicative and knew exactly what we needed as pet parents leaving their cats for the first vacation since we adopted them. We would absolutely hire Heather again and would highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: *listed experience is for dogs, as cats seem to have their own experience area* I love dogs, cats, (guinea pigs, bunnies, and hedgehogs too—though I don't think that's an option here). I grew up with 3 cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, and chickens. I have lived with cats and small dogs multiple times (housemates), and I have petsitted for friends and neighbors throughout my life. I have limited experience with walking dogs (I grew up with cats) but have loads of previous and current experience playing with dogs (family and friends). In college I walked and played with greyhounds at a rescue for racing greyhounds, and I also worked for a little bit at an animal shelter. I'd like to use this opportunity to figure out which type of dog I'd like to adopt someday. For now, as a new sitter on here, I'd be most comfortable doing drop in and play visits with cats and dogs of all sizes, and walking dogs of medium size or less. I've been told I have a calm energy when meeting animals, and the three dogs my friends currently own seem to gravitate towards me. I also like playing tug, throwing sticks, and having a lap dog come to me for rubs. I work at a school and have off in the summer. I have a flexible schedule in the summer aside from a few small trips. My plan is to update my schedule frequently to keep up with my availability. When I am back at work, I will have to revamp my schedule. As for right now, I would prefer to go to the pet's home, as mine is not currently pet appropriate (plants and size). If I come to know a cat and owner well, I would adjust and put the plants in a closed room so the kitty could safely roam the rest of the house. At a pet's house, I would love a run down of their favorite toys, when treats are allowed to be given, etc. I love taking photos already, so would absolutely love to photograph your dog or cat being cute and fun, and send those as an update.

“We are so grateful to have Mickala care for Freya. Mickala communicated with us and sent pictures at each visit. She also washed and dried Freya's blanket when it was soiled with a hair ball! We arrived home to a happy cat and clean cat dishes.”

Felicia F.

“I cannot speak highly enough about Sofie! She stayed at our house for five days to watch our cats while we were out of town. While watching them, she sent lots of pictures and updates, left the house spotless and was easy to contact. Will definitely rebook her next time we need a sitter!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life! From being raised with dogs and parakeets, to later expanding my personal knowledge to cats, rabbits, rats, and more, I understand that each pet is as unique as their owner and deserves to have their needs met. Patience and compassion are my keystones to pet care. My experience includes basic grooming, teeth brushing, utilizing a pill-popper tool/giving oral medication, spicy cat maintenance (trust me, I have my own), grumpy dogs, walking, play motivation, anxious pets, and verbal affirmations. Growing up, I trained two of my dogs from puppyhood, as well as converting a feral adult cat to basic training behaviors such as "stay” and even “paw!” I am an extremely quick study and am happy to cater to your pets' specific needs! I currently work 40 hours a week from about 8am-4:30pm, but have plenty of afternoon flexibility and full weekend availability! I am available on Saturdays and Sundays during the day for house/pet sitting, as well as Fridays after 5pm. This care is as tailored as you would like it to be! Based on your preferences and your animal's personality, I am happy to adapt to your family's needs. I can crate your dog, groom your cat, spend time with them in close or far proximity, add meal toppers to their dinners, you name it! Each pet is unique and I want you to feel as comfortable as possible while entrusting them with me.

“Excellent communication. Booked on short notice. The dogs loved her.”

“Alexio was very responsive and polite, and took great care of my cat and house while I was gone.”

Elise G.

“Matt stayed with our two cats and administered insulin to our oldest cat Mojo despite some challenges with Mojo being uncooperative. Matt was good at communicating any issues and seeking help. He cared for our house very well and left it clean and in good shape. I would recommend Matt.”
