Cat Sitting in Linden

“Zach took excellent care of my cat Lucky, spent a lot of time with him, and was very kind and caring to him. When I came back, Lucky was in very good mood. I highly recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life and have over a year of hands-on experience working at a dog shelter. My responsibilities included cleaning kennels and walking dogs daily, including staff dogs that were selective, dog-aggressive, or very strong. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all breeds, mixes, and sizes. I’m currently attending Purdue University to become a Registered Veterinary Technician, and animal care and safety are always my top priorities. I want you to feel confident and comfortable trusting me with your dog’s care. I have very open availability and am flexible with scheduling. The only times I’m unavailable are Mondays and Tuesdays from 7:30 AM–6:00 PM. Outside of those times, I’m happy to help whenever needed! Due to my school schedule, I am available after 5:30 PM most days, with occasional early availability. I am typically gone for around 8 hours a day, so clients should be comfortable with their dog being alone or crated during that time. I would love the opportunity to help care for your dogs whenever you need! I can easily crate your dog if needed—my own dogs are crated when no one is home. If you'd like, I can also work with them on walking manners. While I don’t consider myself a dog trainer, I do have some experience that may help! If a bathroom accident occurs, I’ll gladly clean it up. usually spend my evenings working on homework or watching some TV, along with enjoying some good cuddle and playtime

About: I’ve handled hundreds of dogs & cats over the years including senior & disabled pets. I have endless patience and love for all animals ensuring a kind safe place for your pet while in my care. I currently work full-time at an animal shelter, which is only two minutes away from my house. Your pet will have a safe, private space to rest and enjoy the sun inside. I’m open to any specialized care your pet needs. Play time, Dog walking, scooping the yard while outside, scooping litter, specialized feeding. Whatever I can do for you that involves your pets I’ll do my best.

“Emily did a great job checking in on our two fur babies while we were on vacation. Loved that she tried to engage with our two cats during each visit. So thankful for the daily updates and pictures knowing they were ok! Thank you Emily!!”

About: I grew up on a cattle farm with two dogs (inside) and 10 cats (6 inside/outside and 4 outside). I am very experienced with the care that animals need and I will give them the care and attention that they need. I have experience giving medication to my own animals so I can give medication to a pet if needed. I am used to playing with my own dogs outside and at the end of the day I cuddle with them on the couch. I am a part time student at Penn Foster online with their vet tech program and a full time Animal Care Technician at Purdue University. I excel at belly rubs and head pats. I will treat your animals like my own and my pets are my children. I work full time at Purdue University as an Animal Care Technician so I care for all animals on the daily. I also have my pets at home as well. I always make sure that the animal is comfortable, fed, watered, and feels safe in my presence. I love to give attention and comfort to all animals.

About: Taking care of animals is a passion! Whether it be walking, or just giving well deserved attention and overall the care they need to be happy! I work full time but i am available mornings and late nights to help exert your dogs energy or just provide them a fun outlet! I have two cats that are leash trained! i know how easily they can get distracted and i remain alert to their needs. Having someone who cares while also being observant is key!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and began to work with dogs at local shelters as well as caring for dogs of friends and family from a young age. I also have experience with cats, fish, guinea pigs and am flexible to learn to care for any animal! I try to make every animal feel at home with me by doing their favorite things like playing with toys, going on walks or to the park or lots of cuddles if that is what they prefer! I have experience with some basic puppy training as well as I have house trained and socialized my own dogs from a young age. I have a full time job but work remotely and have a fairly flexible schedule. I can schedule in walks or pet care visits through the day or evenings. My pup at home is crate trained. We take lots of walks and he also enjoys running around in the fenced in yard and going to the dog park.

“Beth was amazing! We had a rejected 2 week old kitten and she was such an amazing help! She was very easy to get a hold of and sent lots of adorable pictures! She helped us when we were a bit clueless at some points and overall is not just a great sitter but a great person. I will always highly recommend Beth to anyone needing a pet sitter!”

“Marissa did a good job :) she completed all tasks whilst we were on a long vacation. She really saved us when our other Rover sitter cancelled last minute. She’s friendly, professional, kind, and good with pets.”

About: I am an early childhood educator and I spend time with human children all day. After school I'd love to spend some time with your four legged children! I have a cat and dog of my own and know how special they are! Let me know how I can help you! I have been walking for my own health and if I can help you and your fur baby that makes it even better. I am responsible and punctual. I am reliable and will communicate any changes, needs or concerns with you promptly. Thank you! I have a consistent 8-4 schedule, so it is easy for me to schedule your fur babies around my regular workday! I can do drop ins before and after work and do walks in the afternoon. I will do what is best for your pet! If they need me to sit with them for an hour while they eat I can do that. If they need a walk and then some cuddles I will do that! Whatever they need to have a good time while they are in my care!

“Nikie took fantastic care of our cats while we were out of town. She was extremely professional and organized and left great messages with photos. I will absolutely request Nikie again!”

About: Hi!! My name is Marissa Gordon, I’m 27, married and own a bi-level home with lots of space. I have a backyard with a large deck overlooking a woodsy ravine that dogs love hanging out on to watch wildlife and relax with us! Our house is setup to keep your pets separated from ours if necessary- with 2 living rooms upstairs and downstairs. We love watching movies with them and taking them on nature walks in our neighborhood! I am a business owner so I am able to work my schedule around caring for your pets. I can tend to them and may need to leave the house for appointments no longer than 3 hours if needed but my husband also is home in the case I can’t be there 24/7. We keep your pets areas clean and cozy. Temperature controlled, access to water and we take them out to the yard when they need to potty and for walks if possible.

“We planned, then had to play it by ear, and ended up with an entirely different schedule, but she was very flexible through all of it! I only needed one quick check in while I was gone all day for a sick (and recently hospitalized) cat, and she was great at keeping me updated the entire time she was checking in on them for me.”

“We really appreciated Emma coming and hanging out with our boy! Thank you so much!”

About: Hello! I'm Isabella, I offer a personalized walking service and drop in care. Whether your dog loves to explore new routes or just needs a relaxed stroll, I’ll tailor each walk to fit their energy level and personality. Currently, I work at a horse barn where I get the pleasure to interact with horses, barn cats and dogs. Why choose me? Experienced & Trustworthy: I’ve walked all types of dogs and know how to handle different breeds and temperaments. This includes dogs that may be reactive to different triggers. I have a medical background of working at an emergency veterinary clinic when I was in college; so I have basic knowledge of animal fort aid. Fun & Safe Walks: I always make sure your pup is safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Loving Care: I treat every animal like they're my own, ensuring they're happy and well-cared for. I have 4 animals of my own; 2 cats and 2 large breed dogs. I understand the trust that foes into having another person look after your animals. I am usually the go to person for friends and family to call to watch their fur-babies! I look forward to meeting your furry friend and making their walks a tail-wagging good time! Feel free to reach out with any questions! Boarding information: I can only board cats/ small animals such as guinea pigs, ferrets rabbits etc. I have many years of experience caring for small animals and understand they can become stressed easily. They will be in a guest bedroom where they will not be bothered/stressed out by my animals. Currently my availability is limited to the weekends: in June this will be changing to become more frequent where I will have more time to offer more services! In your home: I treat your home and pet like my own. I stick to your pet’s routine, whether it's feeding, playtime, or walks, and ensure they feel loved and secure. I also take care to follow any special instructions you provide to make sure your pet’s needs are met.

“Wow!!! First time using Rover. It was very easy. But this review is for Emily and her fiancé. I took my cat Fluffy over for a meet and greet. Before we even met Emily and her fiance, a customer of theirs told us out side that we are going to Love them, they are great! Fluffy warmed up to Emily very quickly. Before leaving that day I was convinced Emily was the best decision for Fluffy. While away she sends updates and pictures. Very informative and responsive. I had no worries at all. I can't say enough good about this family. I know they are loving and kind. I feel like they treat each pet as their own. You will not be disappointed!! We will definitely be using them again in the Future.”

About: I have an absolute LOVE! For animals and I have had all kinds from raccoons to goats and to monkeys (obviously dogs though too!). So I know what it takes to care for someone’s pet. I studied at Purdue for Wildlife so if that doesn’t say something about my passion for animals and being outside with animals I don’t know what will! Also I will be doing this because I do love animals and not just for the money, the money is just something nice added on and to help with college expenses (I also am staying in the area during summer so I’m here all year round to become a regular with your family for years to come!). Knowing this you should be completely comfortable knowing your adorable family companion will be in not good but GREAT hands! I love going the extra mile for any animal in my care. I will always make sure I give my full attention/ available time slots to your pet. I will never try scheduling times if I’m unsure if I can fulfill your full needs. I will give all of the cuddles your pet needs (or give them space if they need it) and send tons of pictures. I will make sure they get everything needed such as medicine, food, and exercise.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals, including, but not limited to, chickens, ducks, sheep, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and fish. I have personally raised bottle-fed baby sheep and puppies. I am also currently in school to become a veterinarian. I am one for preventing injuries and things like GDV, bacterial infections, etc., and so I plan walks and sniffing accordingly. My world revolves around animals, so I make sure they are taken care of before myself. I make sure my fur babies are fed, have clean water, are told that I love them, are scratched on the head, and maybe even have a bone. I walk them daily, and I always make sure they can sniff and smell everything they want, as long as they don’t eat anything. I have a fully fenced-in yard. I also make sure all of the dogs are in agreement with each other. I would also crate all animals when I am not at home, just for preventive measures. I do have cameras in the house and the backyard, so I can always stay aware. In the client's home, I am flexible with or without a fence. Either way, the pet's priority comes over mine, and I make sure the client and the pet are safe.

“Giovanni did a good job taking my care our needy cats for a week. We came back to 5 healthy cats. He also continued to leave food out for the neighborhood cat that frequents our home.”
