Cat Sitting Golden Valley

“Words cannot describe how thankful we are for Izzy. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing that Turkey was being so well cared for. We could fully relax knowing that Turkey was happy and enjoying herself while we were away. Izzy went far beyond any expectations we could have had. Since Turkey is a hairless cat, Izzy had to put on and take off her sweatshirts daily and carefully determine whether the weather was appropriate for walks and outdoor time — which can be tricky given Turkey’s lack of fur and grumpiness! Turkey’s ears also require regular cleaning because they collect wax easily, and Izzy helped us tremendously with that as well. Throughout our trip, we received photos and updates from Izzy, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would recommend Izzy to any family looking for someone who will give special attention, care, and love to their beloved family member. We were away for 9 days, which was the longest we have ever been apart from Turkey. When we returned home, we were amazed by how happy and comfortable Turkey was, and by how consistently Izzy maintained Turkey’s feeding schedule. Most importantly, Izzy is truly a gem of a person. Her calm, easygoing, yet detail-oriented character made our time away completely worthwhile. We will absolutely continue requesting Izzy’s care moving forward!”

“Once again Kaitlyn was amazing with our cats, Hunter and Moose! She left the most amazing over cards with plenty of notes and tons of pictures. Never once did I worry about the boys while I was gone because I knew they were getting great care!”

Jaylin S.

“Anne was very communicative and thorough! She sent a report card every day after checking in on our cats while we were out of town and spent plenty of time playing with them and giving them lots of attention. We highly recommend and will definitely be using her for future out of town trips!”

“At first we had a hiccup on day one, however, afterwards Briana was a great sitter and communicated when she was arriving and providing us updates on our little fur babies and sent us photos of them every check while we were out of town. Great experience with Briana and she also drove in the deep snow and we were appreciated for her to make out to feed and visit our little fur babies. Great experience for us!”

About: Dogs: I have grown up with German Shepherds my entire life. I currently own an elderly one and understand the difficulties of having an elderly dog. But also because I lived with them I learned to handle and read the body language of dogs. I have had a few smaller dogs in my life also so no worries if you own a smaller family member(s) because I'm comfortable with all sizes. (I have also been training dogs for 3+ years and wish to offer that soon!) Cats: My first job as a kid was to watch our kind neighbors cat. Meaning I fed, played and cleaned the litter box. I have also grown up around cats and I own 2 myself Other Animal Family Members: I also have owned many different reptiles, birds and small animals like leopard geckos, snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs, cockatiels and a few others. (So please feel free to reach out if you need a visit for these family members as well). I currently have afternoon times available! I am free from Thursday - Sunday from 11am to 10pm. I am currently in school so I have a very flexible schedule during that time to stop by and care for your family member(s). Your dog or cat is a family member. I will care for them just as you would. If you feel I have not met this, I wish for feedback on how I can do better. I am very communicative if you have any concerns or need updates as the visit goes on please feel free to notify me. If I am concerned about your family member(s) I will openly reach out to make sure you know right away and we can figure out what needs to happen next. My goal is to make you the owner feel comfortable with leaving your family member(s) with me and also have your family member(s) be comfortable with me. Thank you for considering me!

“Ashlynn went above and beyond during her drop ins! We really appreciated her and the time she spent with our dogs!”

About: Hi! I’m Elena. Whether your pet is an easygoing adult dog, a timid kitty, or a gentle senior who just wants a quiet place to nap, I provide calm, attentive, and high-trust care tailored to their normal routine. My animal care background runs deep: 8+ Years of Rescue Experience & Patient Care: I spent eight years volunteering with City Kitties Rescue in DC and The Cats at Longstreet. Through this work, I developed a strong understanding of animal body language, patience with shy pets, and a gentle touch for animals who need a peaceful environment to feel comfortable. Gentle Senior & Easygoing Routine Care: I love spending time with adult and senior pets who enjoy a relaxed pace, predictable routines, lots of affection, or simply lounging on the couch. I grew up with a Peekapoo and trained with the Animal Humane Society on gentle dog handling techniques. Pro Communication & Great Photos: You’ll receive clear, real-time updates and high-quality progress photos during every stay so you always have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and relaxed. Broad Animal Experience: While I focus on adult cats and dogs on Rover, I’ve personally cared for a wide variety of animals throughout my life—from hedgehogs, rabbits, and pocket pets to reptiles (including live feeding). I maintain a peaceful, welcoming environment and treat every pet like family. I’d love to meet you and your companion! My schedule is very flexible. I work part-time and remotely, which means I am home for the majority of the day and can give your pet plenty of individual attention, frequent potty breaks, and low-stress companionship. Because I work from my peaceful home environment, I can easily stick to your pet’s normal daily rhythm—whether that’s a midday backyard break, regular feeding times, or just having a cozy lap available while I work. Whether caring for pets in my own home or visiting yours, safety, comfort, and respect for routine are my top priorities. In My Home (Boarding): I use a low-stress, step-by-step transition process for feline guests. Just like my rescue fosters, visiting cats start out in a cozy, dedicated space (like a private room) with all their essentials until they feel confident enough to explore the rest of the house at their own pace. For dogs, I maintain a secure, calm environment and ensure my backyard is fully supervised during outdoor breaks. In Your Home (Drop-Ins): I follow your exact instructions to keep your pet’s routine seamless. My visits typically begin with fresh food, water, and litter/potty care. Once their primary needs are met, I spend the remaining time providing gentle affection, low-key play, or simply quiet companionship—always ensuring your home is kept secure and key logistics are handled with complete accountability.

“Ellen was very responsive, and agreed to check in on our kitties even without much advance knowledge for a holiday weekend. She made a separate trip to run through where the litter boxes and water bowls and treats were so that she was prepared when she was stopping by. We really appreciated her thoroughness!”

“Kristen sat for our house and 2 cats and she was great. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, played with the cats (who liked her right away, as we did), and we returned to a very clean house. We felt very comfortable having her here and hope she'll be available the next time we leave town!”

“Elizabeth did what was needed to care for my cat. She made sure my cat had fresh water, food, and cleaned the litter box. Above all else, she made sure my cat was well cared for before leaving. I will definitely be hiring her again.”

“Maia took wonderful care of our cat, Princess Leia, while we were out of town for four days. She was an excellent communicator, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind that everything was going smoothly. When we returned home, both our house and our cat were clearly well cared for. Princess Leia was happy to see us, but she also seemed calm, relaxed, and content, which is always the best sign that she's been in good hands. Maia's drop-in visits gave us confidence that our cat was getting the attention and care she needed while we were away. We would absolutely trust Maia with our home and pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter.”

“Caroline goes above and beyond for my little guy. He really have never been a fan of other people and she has formed a great bond with him. I know he feels so much better having her around when I have to travel. She’s so communicative with me as well which I greatly appreciate. 10/10 would hire her every time.”
