Cat Sitting Grove

“Genevieve took wonderful care of our cat Brody at our house. He was his usual fat happy self when we got home. She also daily updated us how he was doing and sent pics. She was very respectful of our house during her stay. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet and house sitter, we highly recommend her.”

“Savannah was a wonderful cat sitter! She was reliable, responsive, and genuinely caring with Hobbes. We especially appreciated the photos and updates she sent, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your cat with kindness and attention, we highly recommend Savannah.”

About: I’m an experienced pet owner and animal lover who has cared for a wide variety of animals, including cats, kittens, senior cats, ferrets, and dogs of different breeds and sizes. This experience helps me quickly recognize each pet’s unique personality, comfort level, and care needs. I can provide attentive and dependable support while you’re away. I’m also comfortable caring for both friendly and reactive dogs. I have firsthand experience caring for puppies. I understand the extra patience, consistency, supervision, and positive reinforcement they require. I’ve had my husky since she was a puppy, giving me experience with every stage of her development. This has helped me understand how a dog’s needs change from puppyhood through adulthood. I can provide thoughtful, age-appropriate care for both puppies and adult dogs. I currently care for a husky, a boa constrictor, and a Green Bottle Blue tarantula. My experience with exotic pets has made me comfortable following specialized care instructions. I’m also experienced with maintaining precise routines and paying close attention to details that are important for an animal’s health and well-being. Pet care is currently my part-time work. My primary profession involves working with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This work has strengthened my patience, communication skills, attention to detail, and ability to follow individualized routines. These skills directly benefit my clients by helping me provide calm, consistent, and personalized care for each pet. I understand the importance of clear communication with owners. I will keep you informed about how your pet is doing. I hope to continue building on these skills as I work with, train, rehabilitate, and study animals. My future goals include working primarily with dogs, exotic animals, and aquatic animals. I understand that every animal has its own personality, boundaries, and individual needs. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining established routines. This helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable caring for pets that are shy, high-energy, reactive, or slow to warm up to new people. I respect each animal’s boundaries and allow them to interact at their own pace. I provide gentle encouragement, patience, and reassurance. My goal is to build trust and create a positive experience for both pets and their owners. I can provide drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, basic enclosure care, and companionship. I’ll care for your pets with the same attention, patience, and respect that I give my own animals. You can feel confident knowing they are in dependable and compassionate hands. My schedule is mostly remote and very flexible. I am available most days and times on both weekends and week days. I do travel sometimes for my full-time job, which would be the main reason I would not be available. I care for my pets as part of my daily routine and make sure their individual needs are met throughout the day. My husky receives regular potty breaks, walks, exercise, playtime, feeding, attention, and downtime. I’ve had her since she was a puppy, so caring for her has been a consistent part of my life for years. I also care for a boa constrictor and a Green Bottle Blue tarantula. I maintain their enclosures and monitor their temperature, humidity, feeding, water, and overall environment based on their individual needs. Their enclosures are kept secure and separate from my other pets. With any animal in my care, I pay attention to behavior and body language, provide appropriate enrichment and interaction, and make adjustments when I notice their needs have changed. I prioritize safety, consistency, cleanliness, and making sure each animal receives the level of care and attention appropriate for their species and personality.

About: I have raised and my own boxer/lab since she was 6 weeks. She is now turning 7 and has a sweet kitty brother! I trained her myself and is a very confident, well mannered pup. I grew up with animals, have pet sat for many friends, and understand the individual care and understanding that each pet deserves. I work from home, (Mon - Fri) so my schedule is very flexible. I can easily adapt my schedule to your pets needs and be there when you want. I prioritize safety and trust by following the owner’s instructions, ensuring the pet’s comfort, and maintaining a hazard-free environment. I respect the home, clean up after myself and the pets, and communicate updates promptly so you your pet is happy!

“Outstanding! Genuinely cared for our fur baby while we were away. Terrific communication and plenty of extra touches to make sure she felt loved. A+”

“Maggie was very responsive, communicated regularly and respectful of our home and time away. Our kitties weren’t cooperative, but Maggie made the best of it😊. We will book with her again when we go out of town.”

“Amanda was amazing with our kitty, who is a very picky eater. Amanda coaxed her to eat with cuddles and playing fun music, and kept us up to date about how much she was eating daily. Plus, she sent cute photos and videos every day! We knew immediately that our kitty was in good hands, & came home to a very happy cat. We're so grateful & we hope to work with Amanda many more times in the future.”

About: I love all animals! I grew up with family dogs, and I have done petsitting for puppies and elderly dogs for friends and family, and seasonally worked on a farm where I worked with guardian dogs, sheep, cows, and chickens. I'd be so excited to take care of your pets with the love and affection they deserve! I work on weekends, so I'm available for dog walking during the day Monday-Thursday for the most part. Would love to walk dogs or sit for them in your home! Unfortunately my home can't accommodate animal boarding. I love to give animals affection and proper care. Good outside time, exploring, playing, and order are all important for making animals feel safe and secure.

“Thannk you so much!! You went above and beyond! Leaving for my trip was so much easier knowing my girls were being so well and safely taken care of💛you’re the best!”

About: I have been pet sitting for my immediate family for years, and I am also certified in animal care through high school courses. Additionally, I have two dogs of my own, and over the years, I have owned cats, other dogs, and rabbits. In regards to dogs, I have experience with many different breeds and sizes, and can accommodate to any specific need and administer medication. I love animals, and I do this job to make a little extra money as well as bringing me much joy! I attend the college of William and Mary and I am also involved in a few extracurricular activities here on campus, so I have a schedule where I am only free on weekends. I am able to do any school work remotely, so in case of an overnight stay, it would be manageable for me to safely look after your pets while allowing me to be productive! I live in a dorm room, as I am in college, so I am more than happy to care for your pets at your home. I am very flexible to any accommodations needed for clients homes and would be willing to discuss any specific needs!

“Chelsea was great with our special needs kitty, Minnie. She took a real interest in our care instructions and took excellent care of Minnie. We really appreciated the updates and photos. We plan on re-booking her the next time we travel.”

“Christina is a true animal-lover! I feel so fortunate to have found her and my cat Dorothy agrees. Christina provides the very best and most attentive and dedicated care in my absence. I know that my pet could not be in better hands than with Christina. I cannot recommend her highly enough and without reservation.”

Barbara H.

“Holli was above and beyond while watching my cats! She is so kind and responsible, and was even able to get our shyest cat to greet her! Not only did she give constant updates, but was also incredible flexible and responsive through out her stay. I can’t recommend Holli enough as I am 100% certain your pets will be in the best care! I will for sure be contacting Holli in the future :)”
