Cat Sitting Fragaria

“Deanna was amazing. We met with her before our trip and even our most shy dog was comfortable with her. He doesn’t like anyone except family, so that made us feel much more comfortable leaving them in Deanna’s care. She took great pictures and kept us updated with each visit. I will definitely use her again!”

About: Hi! I am a stay-at-home mom of a human baby and two fur babies. I previously worked in upstate NY for a dog training company, My Dog Hikes, as a dog hiker where we took dogs from NYC into the woods for full day dog-care fun. Because of this I am comfortable giving medication and using training commands. I also have a Cattle Dog (Clayton) and Black Lab mix (Tarzan) of my own. I would love to take your little ones on the trails, play fetch in the yard, or just snuggle on the couch with lots of pets. I have a very open schedule so can work around any timeframe you need! As childcare is very expensive, please note before booking me that my son, Eli (3), will be joining me on my jobs. We can always meet beforehand to see if it's a good fit! Additionally - I do not accept requests for recurring weekly services and prefer them to be sporadic. As I am a stay-at-home mom your typical work week is when I am available. I can be flexible around your schedule! I can also stop by to spend some time with your pets on the weekend, so you can go enjoy a trip away. (: I do not care for dogs in my own home as my Lab does not like other dogs. In your home, however, I take care to follow all instructions closely! I take many pictures so prepare for cuteness overload. I also have experience working with a dog training/walking company in NYC and am comfortable with a wide array of needs.

“Anne is amazing! She has been checking on my house and I really appreciated her help with a situation while I was away. 100% recommend booking her for drop ins.”

“Deborah is professional, reliable, and friendly! She cared for my two cats and they acted like I was never away -- always a good sign! Will definitely book with her again.”

Margaret C.

“Lily you’re great! So responsive and has great communication. Very helpful and took away the stress of leaving my animals behind while traveling.”

“Anne is super sweet and has a wonderful kind, soft demeanor… perfect for my hyper 5month old puppy! I trust Anne to be patient with my learning little fur baby!”

About: I have lived with and taken care of dogs and cats since I was a small child. I am a teacher, tutor, and love working with kids and see pets as kids. They are integral parts of our families and I show respect and love to all animals I meet! I am currently a tutor and an actor looking to fill my free time with animals and houses! I have lots of free time, and am dedicated to making sure you receive the best service! I am happy to stay in your home, daily visits, anything needed for you and your family! I let the animals set the pace and never force interaction, but I find that they warm up very quickly :)

“Alyssa is amazing! I highly recommend. I just moved to Washington and was panicking about leaving my babies for a few days not knowing anyone. I found her profile on Rover and reached out because she looked like she would be amazing with animals. She sent me the cutest pictures and was so sweet with them! I have one cat who is scared of most people. She let Alyssa love all over her. I love knowing I have someone I trust to take care of my babies while I’m gone. I am so thankful for her!”

“Megan was awesome! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated throughout. We felt completely comfortable knowing our cat was in great hands. Would absolutely recommend Megan!”

Michael J.

“Jordynn was great with our 5 month old puppy. Amazing communication. We will absolutely book her again. Thank you!!”

Danielle H.

“Amazing job. Came and hung out with my girls for a few hours while we were away for the day.sent plenty of pictures, videos and updates! Loved knowing that they were well taken care of.”

Michele W.

“Brian did a great job checking in on our dogs! We were gone on a day trip and just need someone to stop bye and let the dogs out. He handled them very well, took pictures and let us know everything was okay. We will definitely we reaching out in the future 💗”

“In this crazy time of intense travel and a shortage of pet sitters in the heart of the city, we are so thankful that Mary-Elizabeth has been available to watch our cats during our sporadic away times. She coaxes our shy cat out with the bonito flakes and sends us pics of them on her visits. She feeds them exactly as we ask and does extra picking up after them as needed (one of our cats is elderly and sometimes needs a little extra looking after). I leave this positive review because she deserves it, but deep down I hope she always has a little availability for our future sporadic trips. With the traffic picking up, and the holidays around the corner, I can only imagine how much tighter all the great pet sitter's schedules, like Mary-Elizabeth's, will fill up.”

About: Hi! I’m Madison ☺️ I’ve been caring for pets for 8+ years through pet sitting, house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for friends, family, and repeat clients. My boyfriend and I both work in travel healthcare, so caring for others (including animals) is naturally a huge part of who I am. My boyfriend Victor is listed on the account for the off chance he would need to do a visit for me. However, I plan to make every single visit I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pets with someone else, so my goal is to make you feel completely comfortable and worry-free while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family and get plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, walks, potty breaks, and love while in my care. I’m especially great with: • High-energy dogs • Pets that need extra attention or patience • Keeping routines consistent • Sending frequent photo/video updates ☺️ Because of my flexible schedule between travel contracts, I’m often able to give pets lots of one-on-one time and attention instead of leaving them alone for long hours. A little extra about me: • Non-smoker • Very clean/respectful in clients’ homes • Experienced with anxious/shy pets • Happy to accommodate special requests when possible I also offer walks/jogs for energetic dogs who need to burn off some extra energy 🐾 Feel free to message me with any questions — I’d love to meet you and your pets! Throughout the week my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. On the weekends I do work but still able to care for your pets as it’s a mid shift! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my routine and lifestyle 😊 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, potty routines, and any special requests. I also provide regular photo/video updates so you always know how your pet is doing ☺️

“Emma was one of the sweetest people I’ve met on Rover. She is very kind hearted and loved to spend time with my dogs. I could definitely trust her being in my home, and I plan to continue her services in the future. Highly recommend Emma !!!”

About: I have experience being a caretaker to both humans and animals, starting as a child growing up with fish and an adorable Basset Hound mix. I've been trusted to care for many friends' and other's pets over the years, and have experience with dog training as well as anxious, ill, and elderly pets. I can provide additional reviews through Trusted Housesitters. I'm currently nomadic, unemployed, and working on a book, so I have the flexibility to spend lots of time at home with any pets. I'm currently unemployed and working on personal writing projects, so my schedule is flexible with plenty of time to devote attention to your furry family members. I do have a sleep disorder and other health issues that mean that I can't accept sits with strict routines that start before 9am. I take care to be especially mindful of the pets' particular comforts and boundaries and do my best to keep things as normal and stable for them as possible.

About: I saved my Chihuahua, Thistle, from a kill shelter when he was 18 months old. I nursed him through being hit by a car, helped him gain weight from being underfed, and encouraged him to be a confident dog (he was extremely anxious) through training and gentle love and care. From this, I learned how to administer medications to animals, so I can provide this kind of care to your fur babies also. My Chihuahua is now a senior dog, but you wouldn’t be able to tell with how active he is! He gets lots of walks and play time, and he loves it best when I get on the floor with him. I am comfortable getting to know your pet and giving them the level and type of attention that they need! I looked into breed specific care, and Chihuahuas have weaker joints, so I put him on a joint supplement right when I got him, and it has really made a difference in his mobility and quality of life. It’s important to administer care to animals in the specific way that is best for them! I would show the same consideration to your pet. That includes factoring in their temperament. As my dog has gotten older, his needs around personal boundaries have increased, so I make sure to check in with him before petting him, picking him up, or otherwise touching him, and I do not touch him if he gives me a no, except in an actual emergency (i.e. the animal could be hurt or hurt someone else if I do not touch them). Instead, I do something else and check in again later. This allows me to establish a real felt sense of safety and trust with your pet. I also had cats all growing up, and have a real affection for them, as well as a clear understanding of their boundaries. I would be honored to care for your pet family just as I care for mine! I currently freelance, which means I have the freedom to take care of your pets whenever you need me to. I can be flexible to your needs. As my dog is a people’s dog and not a dog’s dog, I offer my services in your home. I can walk your pet, do a drop-in visit, or housesit! I will follow your instructions to the letter, and ask about any specific or special care your pet might need.

About: About Me I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals. 🐾 I truly believe there’s something so amazing about the unconditional love and companionship they give us, and I love being able to give that same love and care back to them. I’m someone who is patient, caring, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, exploring new places, and enjoying the fresh air—so I’d love nothing more than to have a furry companion along for the adventure! Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone around to make them feel safe and loved, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is happy, cared for, and getting plenty of love while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱 I am flexible all day and can help meet whatever needs you need. Please let me know what I can do to save you time and get your furry family members the time they need outside I am happy to follow your animals routine and what you prefer. we can go for walks or play outside for a period of time to run out some energy!

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I was always the one bringing home stray dogs, cats, birds, or even the occasional lizard that needed help. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years I’ve personally raised and cared for several dogs and cats of different breeds and personalities, so I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I also have professional experience as a bather for a mobile grooming service, which gave me hands-on experience handling dogs safely and helping them feel calm and comfortable during grooming. I’m currently pursuing a path into dog grooming, so working with animals is something I take seriously and plan to continue long-term. I’m naturally patient and gentle, and I’m especially good with shy, nervous, or sensitive animals who need a calm presence to feel safe. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, loved, and secure while their owners are away. I also understand that caring for a pet means respecting someone’s home and routine. I’m reliable, tidy, and committed to treating both your pet and your space as if it were my own, with care and respect. Since I work part-time evenings, I’m usually available for pet care during weekday daytime hours (about 7:30am–3:30pm). I can be flexible with timing depending on how close you are to Port Orchard. I’m also available many Saturday evenings and Sundays. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so they feel secure and cared for. In my home and my client’s home, I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and keep pets supervised and safe. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Hi! Visiting family in the area with my 11 year old chihuahua terrier. I am ready to explore the area with some furry companions as I get myself grounded and ready to return to grad school. Currently very available. I do contract work remotely and am focusing on settling in. I am free weekdays, some evenings and most weekends. My availability changes a bit based on work. I rent a home and am currently unable to host animals in my home via landlords request. I am able to travel to you and will read any guidance carefully on how to best care for your pet. I have had cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, and other critters my entire life and am comfortable navigating challenges as they arise.
