Cat Sitting Lytle

“I can't give much feedback since it was only 2 days and Luna hides from strangers, but Kristin was on time for all visits and took care of everything.”

About: I love all animals but especially have a soft spot for cats. My love for cats started when I was a little girl and my grandpa always let me feed the cats when I came over to my grandparents house. I know the importance of keeping them hydrated, plenty of enrichment with new toys and giving them space when needed I’m currently working full time as a nurse but it does give me the flexibility to have 4 days off a week to stop by and do check ins. My cats are so spoiled and have multiple cat towers and provide various toys for enrichment and are microchipped and are not allowed outside. I am very careful about making sure doors and windows are closed all the way to prevent from going outside. They have plenty of windows for bird watching throughout the day

“She’s incredibly reliable. It was a huge load off my shoulders to go away and know my senior cat was routinely fed and cared for!”

“Miranda went above and beyond for our kitties and kept me well informed of how they were doing. I could see in their photos that they were very fond of her.”

Summer R.

“Natalie took excellent care of our two older cats. One needs special food and six doses of medicine per day, and the other cat is very timid. Both cats quickly warmed up to her and had all their needs met. Highly recommended.”

“Sam is incredibly patient with both pets and the people. Sam truly tried the best to work with you and your schedule. I couldn’t recommend her more.”

About: I've shared my life with animals for more than 30 years, and I truly can't imagine a home without them. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, fish, hermit crabs, and more. Every animal has its own unique personality, and getting to know what makes each one feel safe, happy, and loved is one of my greatest joys. My heart has a special place for senior pets. My beloved Shih Tzu, Paisley, was my soulmate and constant companion for 15 wonderful years. Caring for her through every stage of life taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of paying attention to the little things—whether that's noticing a change in behavior, sticking to a medication schedule, or simply knowing when a pet needs extra comfort and reassurance. Today, my home is filled with the joyful chaos of two rambunctious hounds, Hunter & Brownie, and one mischievous black kitty, Batman (Mr. Meeps), who keep me laughing every single day. They remind me that every pet is wonderfully unique, with their own personality, quirks, and favorite ways to be loved. Whether your companion is an energetic puppy, a curious cat, or a sweet senior who prefers a slower pace, I'm committed to providing the individualized care, patience, and affection they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is about so much more than feeding and walking them. They are family. When they're in my care, I'll treat them with the same love, respect, and attention I'd want for my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless games of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply having someone nearby who makes them feel safe, I'll meet them where they are. I'm dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'll provide plenty of love, playtime, exercise, and affection, along with regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is simple: for you to return home to a happy pet—and for your pet to look forward to seeing me again. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. This flexibility means I can accommodate your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication reminders, or simply spending quality time together. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they can maintain their normal routine, especially while their family is away. In your home, I'll follow your pet's schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and, of course, plenty of love and attention. I'll also make sure your home is respected by bringing in mail or packages, watering plants if requested, and leaving everything just as I found it. I know every pet is unique. Some love to play, some prefer long walks, and others simply want a calm companion nearby. I'll take the time to understand your pet's personality and tailor my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll also send regular photo and message updates so you can enjoy your time away with confidence, knowing your pet is receiving attentive, compassionate care every step of the way.

“Tarah took great care of our Bella, and went above our expectations. She stayed late when Bella didn’t come in at her usual time, and it was very comforting. The house was left in great shape and Bella was well cared for.”

“Amanda sent pics of my dog to me, and communicated with me during and after each visit. She did get into a pickle, but stayed positive and let me know about it. Will definitely use her for future dog duties!”

About: I treat every dog like family, not just a job. What differentiates me from other sitters is my genuine love and attention to each pet. I take the time to understand your dog's personality, routine, and needs, whether it's playtime, walks, medication, or the comfort of being there. I'm reliable and communicative, and I always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected even when you're away. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. With me, you're not just getting a sitter but someone who truly cares. I begin each day around 7 AM by letting the dogs out for a bathroom break, feeding them, and engaging in playtime to ensure they're comfortable and content. During my work hours, I make it a point to let them outside every 3–4 hours, and I'm flexible to increase this frequency if necessary. I'm diligent about adhering to their medication schedules, ensuring timely administration, and preparing the appropriate meals for them. This structured routine helps maintain their health and well-being. I prioritize safety during my dog-sitting services by ensuring that all doors and gates are securely locked and that dogs wear their collars at all times. I use well-fitted harnesses and leashes when walking, avoiding retractable leashes to maintain better control. I also take precautions to prevent escapes by keeping dogs away from open doors and gates and using baby gates or other barriers. Additionally, I stay vigilant during walks, avoiding distractions like phone use and being cautious around other animals or unfamiliar people. These measures help ensure the dogs' safety and prevent any potential accidents.

“Brandon is INCREDIBLE- what a gem! Took such great care of our sweet girls and genuinely loves all animals. He is so kind and communicative, and was a pleasure to host at our house. We have already booked him again and plan to use him regularly, our cats loved him!”

“This was our second time having Britany watch our kittens. She is an amazing young lady. She treats our four cats as if they are her own. They all have such different personalities and yet she makes sure to spend time with each one to ensure they get what they need. She takes pictures and sends notes to me, so I know how they are all doing. Britany is prompt, responsible and so caring. We appreciate all she does while she watches over our fur babies. Thank you again Britany!”

About: I have taken care of family pets since I was a child. As an adult, I have invested my time in rescuing pets that need a little extra time and attention. Currently I have two dogs, Chuck Norris & Winchester, who I adopted from local rescus. I have spent the last 4 years working with Norris on extreme separation anxiety and special dietary needs. My hope is that I can continue helping animals by assisting y'all here on Rover with your pet care needs! If you hire me, I promise your fur babies will be given the time, care and respect I give to mine. I work as a care coordinator, allowing me the ability to make my own schedule. That means I am able to care for your pets at all times throughout the day :) I do not bring pets into my home but will come to yours as many as 3 times per day. I will accept same day bookings but prefer for at least 24 hours notice.

“Carly was so sweet with the cats! Sophie wasn’t sure, but was able to be coaxed into appearing, which is great! Chester was happy to dine al fresco! Thanks so much.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10 and have had animals my whole life. I have volunteered at many shelters and fostered previously. I have experience with older, shy, more understanding needed animals. We are used to training puppies so can keep up with any needed continued care. I work from home and am able to give my full attention to your fur baby. I can move my breaks around for bathroom or attention breaks. My 5 year old GoldenDoodle will keep them company all day, as well. We have a fenced in yard and will keep your animal safe and loved. During walks if desired we have a fully sidewalked neighborhood. We have couch covers for the dogs to be able to get on the furniture if desired. If coming to your home I will leave everything as you left it, with the exception of your animal feeling relieved and loved.

“Abigail responded immediately to our request for cat sitting visits and scheduled a meet & greet in a timely manner. She made two daily visits, per our request, and handled our detailed instructions with ease. We were very pleased with the care she provided our cats while we were away over the Thanksgiving holiday. Thank you, Abigail!”

“Julie is fantastic! We feel so lucky that we found her to stay with our two kitties while we were out of town for several weeks. Not only did she bond with our cats and take great care of them, she also prevented a potential flea infestation in our house! We strongly recommend!”

About: I have experience caring for animals of all sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and basic routines. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure each fur baby gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I have a rotating schedule working at an STNA 3pm-11pm, and if close enough I would be able to come visit durning my 30 minute break I respect any rules given. They are your fur babies, you have every right to set boundaries. I will assure your fur babies are loved and all needs are taken care of with the most compassion and kindness

“Mana did a good job taking care of my cats while I was out of town. I will how her again.”
