Cat Sitting Lexington Hills

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, and other animals all my life! I rescue animals when I can, have fostered, bottle fed, treated injuries, given injections and medications to many animals. Animals are my comfort zone- just being around them is my joy! I can do short walks, herding dog games, feed, or provide overnight care. I especially love herding and other working breed dogs, and typically get along with even difficult animals (feral cats for example!) I would love to meet you and your pets! I am a recently retired high school teacher sill working part time at UCSC, so am available most days to care for your pets. I have 2 dogs and 2 kitties at home, bit can easily help out pet parents who need extra walks, play time, or vacation care! My pets are my family (fur babies!) i will care for your pets like my own! I can care for your pets in your home- the least stressful for them! Or take them to a park, hikes, or a leisurely walk. In your home I will make sure to keep everything tidy, and treat your pets as my family- lots of snuggles and playtime!

“Nicole and Ryan were great with my dog Edie! I received updates and pics for every drop in and felt confident knowing my pup was in good hands while I was traveling. They had a conflict during one drop in time and needed to adjust the schedule and offered to come an extra visit later that day to make sure Edie was comfortable. During the meet and greet Nicole asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s preferences, personality, and schedule. I highly recommend and would gladly book with them in the future!”

About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. There's always been a cat curled up somewhere or a dog waiting by the door, and taking care of them has never felt like a chore to me. It's just what I do. I work from home, so I'm around a lot during the day and can usually work around your schedule, even for midday visits or last-minute plans. If I'm looking after your pet, you'll hear from me. I like sending updates and photos so you actually get to see how your dog or cat is doing, not just a generic "all good" message. I'm new to Rover, but pets have never been new to me. I'll take care of yours the way I'd want someone to take care of my own. I work remotely, which means I'm home most days and have some flexibility built into my schedule. I can usually fit in midday drop-ins, walks between meetings, or last-minute visits that a lot of sitters with traditional 9-to-5 jobs can't accommodate. Afternoons and evenings tend to be my most open windows, but I'm generally easy to reach and can adjust as needed. I treat your space and your pet's routine with respect. I follow the feeding, medication, and care instructions you provide exactly as given, and I keep your home secure the whole time I'm there. I pay close attention to your pet's body language and comfort level, especially with cats or nervous dogs who need a little more patience before they warm up to someone new. If anything seems off with your pet or your home while I'm there, I'll let you know right away.

“Chris was an amazing sitter for our little guy, Toby! After meeting Chris for the first time and seeing him with our dog, I knew he would be a good fit and had no qualms about having him take care of Toby. We booked Chris for 5 days while we went to visit family out of town. Our 5 day trip was unexpectedly extended when a snow storm cancelled our flight and we were unable to get on a new flight for another 5 days. Luckily, Chris was available (this was the week of Christmas and NYE!) and had no problem adjusting to our delay. He even went to the store to buy more dog food when we ran out! Overall, Chris is a really friendly guy and I will definitely book with him whenever we are in need!”

I have a serving job during nights, but I have open ability during the day every day of the week! I like to fit in walks whenever I can! I can not take any more pets into my home, but would love to do sittings and take care of pets at clients homes! *

“Elizabeth did an amazing job taking care of our cats! She went above and beyond to ensure the cats were comfortable, well fed, and entertained - and even came for additional days during an unexpected heat wave. Would definitely recommend!! Thank you Elizabeth!”

“Eliska was great! She did multiple drop ins per day for us and was great! She follows instructions and took such great care of our dog. She always asked questions if she was unsure which I appreciate so much. Kassie was in great health and happy when we saw her. Highly recommend and we will definitely be using her in the future.”

About: Feel free to call me Elva! I’ve been around cats and dogs for about 5 years and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have two cats of my own, so I know every pet has their own little personality and routine. I’m happy to feed them, play with them, go on walks, clean up after them, or just keep them company while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of attention and feels comfortable with me! My schedule is pretty flexible, so I usually have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. I’m available throughout the week and can work around your fur baby’s usual routine. I’ll make sure your fur babies feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow whatever routine they’re used to, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or just hanging out with them. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how they’re doing!

“Olivia is absolutely wonderful! She loves animals and our pets warned up to her right away. She sends cute pictures and is really on top of things. We are very thankful to have her helping with our fur babies!!”

“Chendi did an amazing job taking care of Shadow while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about Shadow as if he were her own. Communication was great the entire time, and we had complete peace of mind knowing Shadow was in such good hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. I would absolutely book Chendi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

“I wasn't sure how my cats would do with someone they didn't know, but any concerns disappeared when Nicole came by prior to my pet sitting needs in order to meet the cats and get the run down on what the cats would need while I was away on business. Zigs, in particular, is generally weary of new people, but she warmed up to Nicole pretty much straight away, and it wasn't long after that Cheddars was also looking for scritches. To say it was a huge relief to have Nicole look after my fur babies while I was away for nearly a week is an understatement. I have a couple of cat cams so I can look in on them when I'm away, and the history of what was recorded is available for me to check. When I checked in each day, I saw Nicole sitting on the floor playing with and giving scritches to both cats. At one point, Zigs was even following her! When I returned home, both cats were calm and relaxed. They got their nasty canned food every day, fresh water, and all three litter boxes cleaned. They were clearly well cared for while I was away, above and beyond just feeding them and cleaning litter boxes. I will 100% check Nicole's availability anytime I need to have my fur babies looked after and spoiled!”

About: I have 2 dogs that are the absolute loves of my life. I’ve had dogs my whole life and always watch friends dogs and provide exceptional care! What can I say, I like dogs more than people!! I have a flexible work from home schedule and a large flat fenced yard. I love to take dogs for hikes and walks and provide food, pets and care as needed! I am very attuned and aware of dogs. If something seems off, I will take immediate action. I ensure food and treat schedules are adhered to and overall will just love and cuddle and pet and walk your dog! I’m super kind and believe dogs are the kindest souls on earth.

“Lora was on time every day and took great care of our cats while we were away. She sent us cute pictures and our cats were happy when we got back. We highly recommend her!”

“Lina is super kind and a great caretaker of pets. I was very grateful she offered to come over beforehand to meet and get the details for caring for my kitties while I was gone. She did a fabulous job and would book again!”

“Lynn is great with our dog Gigi, and has done drop in visits for her multiple times when we are out of town. Lynn sends updated photos each visit, and even did the dirty dishes that were left in the sink.”

“Christine was great with our dog. She checked in twice each day and made sure he was walked and fed following his normal routine. She also sent us pictures daily to put our minds at ease. Our dog is anxious and timid and she made him feel relaxed. Christine is very professional and loves dogs. We would definitely ask her to take care of our dog again and would highly recommended her.”

Shawn P.

“So great! Stephanie and her son came to check on our puppy Charlie. They were very flexible and sent us pictures. Would have them back again for sure.”
