Cat Sitting in Granite City

“Jill was fantastic! I'm a super nervous pet mom. We had a previous pet sitter for years before we moved and had to find a new sitter. I was very worried about our first time away, especially because we have a shy girl who has been a bit nervous since our move. Jill took her time working with our nervous girl to get her comfortable and sent me the best updates every day for both our cats. After a couple of days, I wasn't worried at all and knew my babies were in the best hands!”

“Karrie did an awesome job watching my fur babies while I had to travel for a work week. She regularly provided updates and pictures which put my mind at ease as I had never hired an overnight pet sitter before. The place looked just like it did when I came back and she clearly understands and loves cats. I definitely would recommend her to house sit for your pets.”

About: I've cared for cats on-and-off as an adult for the last 8 years. I grew up with cats as family pets, so caring for them feels like second-nature! I tend to be my friends' go-to person for cat sitting and house-sitting. I don't mind spending the day or staying overnight to keep cats company. I follow instructions well, and keeping clean litter boxes & bagging/trashing dirty litter is always my priority! I work full-time, so Wed-Fri, I can only pet sit in the evening. Tues, Sat and Sun I can sit throughout the day. I can stay overnight on a Fri or Sat night. I am comfortable with basic cat care duties like feeding, filling water bowls, cleaning litter (scooping, sweeping, dumping dirty litter in dumpster). I'm happy to play with & pet cats as long as they need!

“Jamie is the best cat sitter! She has genuine love for animals and takes extra good care of them. She is great at communicating with us about the cats and sends lots of high quality pics. Follows all of our instructions and takes care of house things like the mail and trash. Highly recommend hiring Jamie!!”

About: I've had cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I can bathe dogs and administer meds to both dogs and cats. Ive also had birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and a tortoise. I am fully devoted to taking care of animals fir the time being. My schedule is flexible. I understand plans come up last minute so short notice shouldn't be a problem! I am very interactive with animals as I believe this is how they feel loved. I will tend to any special needs they may have!

“Terrendous help! Kept me up to date with my pet over my trip.”

“Phoebe did an amazing job watching our kitties. They are going to want us to go out of town all of the time now. Thank you for taking such good care of them!”

About: I’ve always said that my dream job would be walking dogs and also volunteering at a dog shelter. Welp, after a move I’m semi-retired with a flexible work from home business and need to keep busy. I love dogs and have two of my own. Jennifurkey is a 2 year old papillon we got from the pound. She was 3mo old and her former owner got arrested for DUI and she went to puppy jail (the pound) and was never claimed. She has never felt unwanted since! Her older brother Me-Lo YoPupawitz, Attorney at Paw (chihuahua 11yo) is her parter in crime! They are inseparable. Over the years we have had a mix of dogs and are huge dog lovers. We have had everything from a 3mo old pound puppy to a diabetic rescue dog that was used as a breeder for 7 years with spinal problems that was kept in a kennel for those 7 years… and our last dog who made it to 17 years old with hearing, vision, and other ailments that required special food and medication. If you can’t tell, I am very experienced in a magnitude of dog care and will treat your dogs as if they were my own! I always have a bit of squee when I see cute puppies (all dogs are puppies lol) in public. I am somewhat retired. Recently moved to Granite City from California. I am regularly in Metro East and St. Louis. I don’t mind travel within 15 miles or so. I mostly work remotely from home and generally have a flexible schedule. I am available for one-offs if you’re busy or traveling or ongoing while you’re at work! We live out in the country off a gravel road, yet only 6 miles from downtown St. Louis! We are on half an acre with a fenced in yard. We currently have 2 small dogs. Jennifurkey is a 3yo papillon who is a ball of love and energy. She loves to play and run around in the yard. Me-Lo YoPupawitz, Attorney at Paw is a 11 year old chihuahua who is slow to trust but once he likes you or another dog, will be best friends. We regularly treat our yard with pet safe pesticides for flea, tick, and other unwanted critters. We actively grow lavender, lemongrass, and French marigolds as all-natural pest repellent. Also we walk the perimeter daily to ensure no pup is digging an escape tunnel lol In your home I will ensure that your babies routine remain as close to normal as possible. They can be kenneled at night or if house sitting they can sleep wherever they are used to. They are already stressed missing you, why make it any harder. As long as you have WiFi, I can work and take care of your babies. I am experienced in administering basic medicines and possibly insulin, depending on how used to or your baby is.

About: I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone new, and I don’t take that lightly. I provide regular updates, follow your pet’s routine closely, and make sure they feel safe, exercised, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals most of my life, including feeding, walking, bathing, and administering medication. I grew up caring for our family dog and have also worked with puppies, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve always been the go-to sitter for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for both dogs and other pets. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for you and as comfortable and consistent as possible for your pet. I’d love to meet you and your babies soon! I am currently looking to do Rover full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule for new clients and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. I’m known for sending lots of updates and being very attentive, even in unexpected situations. I am aware that every pet is different and may have unique needs for me to attend to. Having two of my own dogs at home, I understand how to maintain a safe and happy environment for your pets. I’m very attentive to pet safety, including diet, environment, and any specific needs your pet may have.

“Leanna responds pretty quickly and my cat loves to stay with her. She played with my cat, feed him, cleaned the litter box, and changed the water. It's pretty hot outside. She also helped me lower the AC to make my house cooler.”

“Keri did a great doing drop in visits with my two cats. I highly recommend her and will use her service again.”

About: Pets have always been a part of my life and my empathy attracts. Body language as well is key to pet sitting and pet care . I am currently available all week anytime except when it's dark . I have reliable transportation and safety . My background is clean and I'm protective of your fur babies . This is my first rover account so give me grace in building my profile . I understand dog body language but I wish to learn more . I understand basic and some advanced . Any fur baby I walk is my fur baby to protect .

“Caitlin was incredibly nice, communicative, and great to work with. She truly gave our pets excellent care and attention. Would definitely use her again the future”

About: I’m a reliable 25-year-old teacher with six summers of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I’ve looked after many families’ pets while in college and continued pet sitting since becoming a full-time educator. I’m passionate about animals and committed to providing safe, attentive, and loving care. I’m off for the summer, which means I have full availability—day and night—for dog walks, boarding, and in-home care. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and well-cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet like they’re my own. My dog, Goldie, is a big part of my life, and I treat her with the utmost love, attention, and respect—and I’ll do the same for yours.

About: Apologize to dog parents, although I like dogs, I don’t do dog sittings since I have not much experience with dogs. Wish you best of luck. I’m currently taking a break from my Earth Science research work and want to meet more cats! So, I’m flexible on the schedule and may accept last minute appointments. I prefer to do drop visits since my cat doesn’t like other cats. If your fur babies really need someone to stay with them, we can coordinate that.

“Suzanne was great! She was checkin in on my cats while I was away for the holiday. She texted me every time she stopped by and gave me an update and some pictures. She also washed their bowls and cleaned up their general living area for when I got home! I would definitely book her again.”

About: I am a huge dog lover. Rescued two myself and they are my absolute passion and what I consider my kids and I plan on treating your doggie kids the same way! My dogs love going on walks, hikes, and the occasional snow cone date and your dogs I would guarantee love this just as much as my own. I am available everyday and anytime. I have watched multiple dogs before ranging from the size of a pomapoo to a rambuntious pit bull puppy to a full sized lab. So in other words no furry friend is to large or too small! So if its just an occasional walk or let them out to go potty I hope to meet your four legged friend soon! I am working part time and in college full time but that doesn't stop me from having plenty of time for your furry friend. Whatever it is they need I'm there Youre home is most importantly their home. I will make sure they are comfortable when you are away and give them plenty of love. If they make a mess I'll clean it up because life happens.

“Jacqueline was great with Momo! She was quick to respond to my messages over the holidays and attentive when following Momo’s specific meal routine.”
