Cat Sitting in Los Alamos

About: New to Rover but fully experienced with pet sitting ! I also work as a professional dog bather so I have plenty experience providing full time care to dogs ! As my line of work requires skills necessary to handle all sorts of dogs and am more than willing to handle larger dogs, senior dogs and anxious dogs (no limit to the amount of dogs you have at home). I feel that I am incredibly gentle with animals and find dogs tend to naturally bond with me. I have house-sitted for around 5 years now and am able to stay overnight to monitor your puppies ! I also have 2 dogs of my own named Selkie and Mooncake that I've trained myself so don't be suprised if your dog has learned a new trick by the time you are back ! While I do work full time as a bather, I am able to get part-time hours so I will be able to attend to your dogs full time on the days I am pet-sitting ! I encourage reaching out to me to work through the amount of time in a day you would like me to be at your home so I can plan my schedule accordingly. :) I understand it can feel nerve wracking to trust your dogs with a pet sitter at your home, and as a trust worthy house sitter I will follow instructions as given and be sure to provide proper care to your pets. I have experience with crating, giving medications and treatment, preparing meals ect ! I will be sure to send updates and photos of your pets as often as you would like and give clear communication. You can rest at ease knowing your dogs will be safe and loved in their own home.

About: Dogs have been my constant companions since I was a little kid. I’m so lucky to have two furry friends: a playful Black Lab and a loyal Doberman Pinscher. They’ve taught me the true meaning of joy and responsibility when it comes to our four-legged family members. I’ve also been in the military, serving in the U.S. Army. That experience instilled in me the values of reliability, discipline, and dedication, which I now bring to every walk, every tail wag, and every dog-sitting session. I’m currently working part-time as a dog walker and dog sitter, ensuring each pup gets the exercise, care, and attention they truly deserve. Whether your dog prefers a brisk power walk, a relaxing stroll around the block, or simply lots of love and belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and cherished. Time to get those paws moving! 🐾 I am currently available for part-time dog walking and dog sitting with a flexible, open schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended care, I am happy to work around your preferred times — mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends included. As a U.S. Army Veteran, I understand the importance of responsibility, reliability, and trust. When caring for your dog in your home, my priority is to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety while respecting your home as if it were my own.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—from raising animals for FFA to training my own dogs and working at an animal shelter. Animals have always been a big part of my world, and I treat every pet like family! I work Monday - Friday 7:30am to 4:30 pm I have an hour lunch and would love to take days off to help care for your furry baby’s. I plan to get more availability for the future. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I always follow instructions closely, use secure leashes and gates, and keep a calm, watchful eye on every animal in my care. With years of hands-on experience—from shelter work to farm life—I know how to handle pets gently, responsibly, and with lots of love.

About: Currently training to become a certified dog trainer here in Santa Barbara. I have worked as a vet-tech and as a dog trainner assistant in the past. In love with all breeds with no exception. For me, dog care after being a hobbie it has turned into a passion. I like to use positive reinforcement methods as a way of cominucating with dogs. I am a very active woman and love to exercise with them, if possible. I have always been surrounded by dogs and have experience with many breeds. I do also have some dog agility course training experience. My heart is full of love and respect for animals and dogs. I understand and appreciate the meaning of dogs in our lives. They just make everything better.

About: I've had pets all my life. Dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, etc. I love all animals equally and would love to take care of yours too I'm a full time college student from Monday to Thursday which means I'm only available on Fridays and weekends to take care of your pets. I have a large backyard with a brick fence around it. I have two small dogs who stay in the yard but are friendly. Inside my home, I have two cats who are shy but not aggressive at all. I can also crate your pets if you request to.

About: Hello 👋 and welcome! 🐾 Though I’m new to Rover, pet sitting has actually been my very first job and to this day, at my ripe age, I’m proud to say I’m still doing what I love. What began as helping out friends and family eventually blossomed into a trusted and established side business that’s been going strong for over 20 years. It’s been a journey of love, learning, and lots of wagging tails! Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all kinds: spunky puppies, shy cats, curious kittens, and senior pets with special needs, including blind and paralyzed dogs requiring extra care and attention. I also spent a year working at a local veterinary clinic, where I received hands on training and deepened my understanding of animal health, behavior, and emergency care. From giving medications and preparing special diets to long cuddles and playful zoomies, I provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’d be honored to care for your beloved pets like they’re my own. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur (or scale!) babies soon! 🐶🐱🐰🦎 Pet care is naturally built into my everyday life, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Since I attend college fully online, I’m home throughout the day and can give your pet constant love, supervision, and attention. I build my schedule around the pets I care for, making sure their needs come first whether that’s walks, feeding, medications, playtime, or just cozy companionship. And if I ever need to step out briefly for a grocery run, doctor's appointment, or an errand, don’t worry a member of my family is always home to continue providing care and attention. So please be assured that your pet is never left unsupervised and is always in safe, loving hands. For boarding in my home, your pet becomes part of the family! I provide a clean, cozy, and loving space where they can relax, play, and stick to their usual routine. Since I attend college online, I’m home all day to provide 24/7 care potty breaks, walks, mealtimes, playtime, cuddles, and more. If I ever need to step out, a trusted family member is always home to make sure your pet is never left alone. You'll receive daily photo and video updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing. For drop-in visits, I care for your pet right in the comfort of their own home, following their routine exactly as you prefer. Each visit includes feeding, water refills, potty breaks, playtime, and love. And yes photos and videos are sent every single visit to give you peace of mind and a smile during your day! For walks, I make sure your pup gets fresh air, safe movement, and plenty of sniff time. Whether it’s a quick potty walk or a longer stroll, I tailor the pace and distance to your dog’s energy and needs. I’ll also send photos and a little walk summary with every outing so you know how it went and how your pup is feeling.

“I have used Heather 3 times now and she is excellent! Harley is always happy to see her when she arrives and is happy and healthy when I return. I feel confident leaving Harley and my house in Heather’s hands. I will be sure to continue to use her in the future!! You would be a fool for not picking Heather!”

My dogs get walked 3 times a day and are used to going to the park or even just running around the backyard.

“Delightful! Our cats are pretty shy so we weren't expecting much but Dayna was able to get pictures of them without a problem. She was very flexible and made us feel much better about being away from our pets for a week. Definitely at the top of our list for next time!”

“Erin is wonderful! She took care of our little Cat fur babies when we were away, making sure that they were well fed, clean and loved. One of the cats is a bit more reserved, but when he first met Erin, he instantly bonded with her. Erin was punctual everyday, quick to provide us with updates and even sent us pictures of the babies. She even went the extra mile to wheel our trash bin in after collection day! How sweet! Thank you Erin for being so great and loving our babies, and hope that you would be available next time when we take another short trip.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of all breeds since I was a young teen, from Mastiffs to Dachshunds, walking, brushing, baths, you name it! I am comfortable with dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I currently work with both dog and human aggressive dogs. I am comfortable with special needs pets, and am able and happy to give any medications they may need. I will love your dog as my own, and look forward to working with you and your pup! I’m also prior military so I have base access! I'm available everyday! I have classes currently on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but it's only for 3 hours in the morning. I finish the semester late May, and will update my school schedule when full time classes start again in the Fall (around August of 2025). With the four dogs at home, they each have very different needs. One is not friendly with other dogs, and 13, so I like to keep him comfortable. One is a senior boxer, who is still very active and I am constantly playing with her. One is an older frenchie, who honestly is only interested in cuddling, so I make sure to cuddle up with him whenever possible. The last one is a young golden retriever. He is high energy, and cuddly. I take him with me on hikes, and am constantly training him on correct behaviors.

About: Although I am new to Rover, I am not new to pet care. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and always treat every pet like they’re my own.

I’m also great at keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages for peace of mind while you're away. I work full time Friday through Tuesday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and I’m also a college student taking two online classes. This means I have a flexible schedule on weekday evenings after 5 PM and all day Wednesdays and Thursdays. While I can’t adjust my work schedule, I’m reliable and committed to caring for pets during my available hours. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or companionship, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to your instructions and routines to minimize stress and keep things familiar. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye during walks or playtime, and give plenty of gentle attention. I also provide regular updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands while you're away.

“Shaundra did a wondeful job with our cat Shan Mao during our multi-day trip leaving him at home. He was happy and healthy when we got home, and when she visited him he was not afraid of her - as he is of new people until he gets to know them. She definitely "speaks cat." We would love to use her services on our next trip if we can. Thank you Shaundra!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young child. I was active in 4H raising various breeds of livestock. I have been house sitting with pets for a number of years, in their home and in my own. I try to mostly book overnight house sittings on the weekends as I work full-time during the week. I have a flexible schedule, where I am able to be home during my lunch breaks. The pets are the focus of my daily routine. Each pet is different and will be different in the way I provide their care, whether that be kennel trained sleeping, specific patterns for food/medications. I would like details of how you would like your pet(s) to be taken care of so I can provide them the best, safest and secure normalcy while pet sitting.

About: Hello Families! I love all animals and ready to help care for yours while you're away! I grew up on a farm with my parents, and ever since I can remember, we've always had animals around. They ran a non-profit animal rescue for many years, and this taught me much about the responsibilities of caring for an animal. I was also able to learn about different breeds and their temperaments. Although they are nice to play with, we were also taught that with the pleasurable part, also comes the dirty work. I've cleaned much animal poop in my life! My sister and I have ridden horses since we were young, we've volunteered at different animal shelters, and we have brought injured animals into our home to take care of them. I recently graduated and received my Bachelor's degree. I'm continuing my education, which makes me available to go to your home during weekday evenings or weekends (all day). I also offer boarding at my home (24/7), which is safe and secure. I have several yards for your pet(s) to play and exercise. I can feed, administer medication if needed, exercise, clean litter-boxes, and give your pet(s) the love and attention they deserve! I understand your pet(s) have become part of your family, and I will take care of them as if they were my own! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I hope to hear from you soon! Thank you, Mia
