Cat Sitting Gardner

“Jane did a great job checking in on my cat while I was away for a week. I appreciated the pictures I received and I came home to a happy cat :)”

“They were so good with Layla. They took care of all her needs, and then some! I got to see daily pictures which let me know that she was in good hands. I can't say enough about how much I appreciated the care that was given.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for many years and currently care for my own dogs, bird, and aquariums every day. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets while they’re away. My background in healthcare has taught me to be dependable, detail-oriented, and calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I give my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and will keep my Rover calendar updated so it always reflects my availability. I make pet care a priority and enjoy spending quality time with animals through walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will follow your instructions and routines to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I know every pet is different because I’ve experienced that with my own dogs. One of my dogs has epilepsy and takes medication on a strict schedule, so I understand how important routines, careful observation, and clear communication are. I have a fenced backyard and will follow your pet’s feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions exactly as you ask. Whether your pet is young, senior, or has special needs, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own pets. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I have lived decades with animals in my life. Dogs, Cats, Birds, Rodents, Fish and more. With the exception of a few years deployed on a Navy Sub I have always lived with animals. As I approach retirement from the Sheriff's 911 center I plan to travel internationally and need to experiment with ways to get my dog fix when back in the USA. So the next 2 yrs I will try adding this (dog sitting) into my very flexible work schedule and see if it will become part of Carter 2.0 I can say with confidence I can't handle most anything that arises. Recently retired from the Sheriff's 911 center. I have a very flexible schedule. I can adjust as needed to fit the needs of the stay. I am respectful and caring. I will work with you to ensure that your family members are as comfortable with me as possible. If a few introductory visits are needed I will be available.

“Very communicative and great with my dogs!”

About: I have been around family pets my whole life. I especially love dogs of all breeds. I am ready to care for your fur-baby. I'm available for short term and long term needs even with short notice. I'm available by appointment to serve you as needed for your dogs. I can work evenings, daytimes and even over night care when you travel. I can come to you and care for your fur-baby in the comfort of their familiar surroundings. I'm also available to pick your dog up for appointments or walks at the dog park.

About: I have worked at a vet, taken care of my own animals as well as family and friends. I have dealt with dogs and cats of all sizes. It will work with my job, get me exercise, and give me extra income I need. If I didn't have a weakness to blood, I would have been a veterinarian. I always make sure that they are exercised, played with, and taken to a park if necessary. I never hurt an animal but believe in discipline.

“Alyssa did a super job checking in on my cats!”

About: Animals have been a lifelong part of my life. I grew up around farm animals and have owned and cared for dogs ranging in size from a Toy Poodle to a Great Dane. I also raised a puppy through the Leader Dogs for the Blind puppy-raising program in Michigan and have experience training dogs in both obedience and agility. I previously worked as a veterinary assistant at two veterinary clinics, which gave me valuable hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a wide variety of personalities, ages and needs. I especially love learning about canine behavior and training and am always reading and continuing to learn. I’m currently working with my daughter as she learns about showing dogs with the goal of becoming an AKC Junior Handler. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual personality and routine, and I prioritize safety, communication and making pets feel comfortable while their people are away. I’m happy to provide photos and updates during every visit. I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to provide walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m especially available during weekday mornings and afternoons, making me a great fit for pets who need a midday walk, potty break, meal, medication, playtime or companionship while their owners are at work or away. I also offer evening and weekend availability when my schedule allows and am happy to discuss recurring weekly care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my first priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s normal routine, temperament, handling preferences and any special instructions before providing care. During visits, I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes and other potential safety concerns and will always follow your care instructions closely. My previous experience working as a veterinary assistant has made me particularly observant of changes in an animal’s behavior or well-being. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home and will treat your home, privacy and belongings with respect. I provide dependable communication and am happy to send photos and updates after each visit so you know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and grew up working on a farm, so I’m comfortable around all kinds of animals and understand the responsibility that comes with proper animal care. I currently own two Persian cats myself, so I’m familiar with higher-maintenance grooming needs, sensitive pets, and paying close attention to an animal’s comfort, behavior, and routine. I’m experienced with cats, dogs, and other animals of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, including senior pets and anxious animals that need extra patience. I’m calm, attentive, and detail-oriented, and I always make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while their owners are away. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll provide updates and photos to help owners feel reassured that their pets are in good hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I’m able to work around feeding schedules, playtime, walks, check-ins, and giving pets companionship so they stay comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very routine-oriented and understand how important consistency is for animals, especially cats and pets that may need extra patience or attention. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own environment. During visits, I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, routines, litter box care, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I’m attentive to behavior changes and always make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I also value communication and will provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“McKenna did a great job taking care of our cats. It took a few days for them to warm up to her but she was able to even get our male out on his daily walks in the stroller! The house and plants were also well taken care of.”

Patty N.

“Amina was great with our two cats for the weekend. We just added our kitten Boots to the family so we were nervous leaving for a quick weekend trip. Amina was understanding about the introduction process between the two cats that we were going through and made sure everyone was well taken care of and happy.”

About: I understand that your pets are family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, waste cleanup, playtime, companionship, medication administration (if needed), and lots of love and attention tailored to your pet’s routine. Whether you have energetic dogs, independent cats, or multiple pets, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. Because I am a full-time online student, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet sitting my top priority. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job where I would be away from the house all day, my school structure allows me to work entirely from home on my own terms. This means I have ample open blocks of time throughout the day dedicated solely to pet care. I can easily accommodate structured feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions without interruption. Your pets will receive consistent companionship, and because I'm studying from my laptop, I am available to provide the constant supervision, love, and attention they deserve." When caring for pets in your home, my primary goal is to maintain their regular routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. Seamless Routine Adherence: I strictly follow your established feeding schedules, medication timelines, and specific instructions to keep their environment predictable and stress-free. Meticulous Cat Care: As a multi-cat owner myself, I know the importance of a clean environment. I scoop litter boxes thoroughly during every visit and sweep up any tracked litter. Quality Companionship: Because my full-time student schedule is so flexible, I don't just rush in and out. I dedicate genuine time to interactive playtime with their favorite toys, gentle grooming, or just quiet companionship on the couch while I study. Home Respect & Communication: I respect your space, leave it exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed daily updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how they are doing.
