Cat Sitting Mack

About: I have cared for many pets over the years and even worked as a vet technician for some time. I am keen to the needs of animals. I am a stay at home mom, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I only spent a few hours away each day. I have a fenced in back yard and great neighborhood for walks. I have kids and two dogs so I will need to know if they are good with kids and other pets.

“Mark was very patient and understanding with Zeke! It was clear that he has lots of expertise around dogs and is responsive to their needs. Mark also communicated well with me and went above and beyond to care for Zeke! Highly recommend!”

“Absolutely fantastic experience with our pet sitter, Erika. She did an amazing job caring for my two cats, who are usually very wary of new people. By the end of her time with them, one of my cats even let her hold him which is a huge milestone and really shows how patient, calm, and gentle she was with both of them. Erika was very professional throughout, followed all instructions carefully, and always replied quickly, which really helped ease my stress while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing my two cats were in great hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

About: I've rescued and fostered many dogs & cats. I'm a volunteer for a wildlife rescue and care for all animals. I treat your furbaby like my own. I've never had an animal escape or get hurt on my watch. I am self employed and work from home so I give my pets all of my time. I do not crate my dogs however I have an extra large crate TV stand in case I needed to. My home is designed around animals to make life easy and functional. I own my home, its a ranch home. There is one step in front and 3 to go out the back door. If your dog doesn't do well with steps, we can go out the front. We have a half acre yard in a wooded residential area that is completely fenced in. We are outdoors all the time and when my pets go out, I'm out there with them. I would care for your dogs the same way when in my home. My cats and dogs, co exist together great and my dogs love other dogs! My dogs have lived with fosters and foster fails! Pets are allowed on the furniture but not on my bed. In the event they wanted to sleep with my dogs in my room that would just fine. We have plenty of room and dog crates if we needed to crate them also.

“Sandy was exceptional! Her communication was far more timely than I was able to reciprocate. Making adjustments to the plan was a breeze. Sandy bonded with my animal almost immediately! She played, fed, petted, sat with, and cleaned up after him, giving me synopses and pictures I loved to read and see each night. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely do again, requesting Sandy!”

I am available at the moment to work any day weekday and weekend, I currently have no restrictions to when I can not do it. I enjoy doing enrichment activities with the animals and playing with them to stimulate their mind. I also like to cuddle with my dogs whenever they want chill time.

About: With 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I know every pet has their own routine, quirks, and personality, and I treat each one that way. Whether your dog needs regular walks and playtime, your cat prefers a quiet companion and a consistent feeding schedule, or your pets just want company while you're away, I'll keep their day as close to normal as possible. I follow the routines you set, from feeding times to potty breaks to bedtime. I haven't administered medication before, but I'm comfortable learning and happy to follow your instructions step by step. I'll also keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing they're happy and safe. I'd love a meet and greet so your pets and I can get to know each other before you head out. I’m reliable and detail-oriented, and I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their own home. I can follow specific care instructions, administer basic medications if needed, and keep your home tidy while you’re gone. I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful, so I provide updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re being well cared for. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I am available for pet care before and after work as well as on weekends. I can provide morning and evening care including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. On weekends, I have more flexible availability and can spend additional time with your pets. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine and receive consistent attention and care while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and environment. I carefully follow all care instructions including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special requests. Safety is very important to me. I make sure doors and gates are secure, pets are supervised appropriately, and their environment stays clean and safe. I respect each client’s home and keep everything tidy while they’re away. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are safe and well cared for. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and owners feel comfortable.

“Andrea has been a joy to work with in caring for Bob. She is reliable and Bob loves to spend time with her. Very thankful to have met her.”

About: Cat lover and UC PhD student with many years of experience owning and caring for cats (both my own and for friends/family)! I also have 3+ years of experience volunteering at humane societies and shelters. I would love to check in on your cats while you’re out of town or away for the day. In addition to loving my two orange boys every day, I have built them two cat trees, one bridge linking their favorite elevated spaces, and have turned my entire balcony into their own catio. A happy cat is a healthy cat, and I've made sure to do everything in my power to make Louis and Reggie happy. I’m currently a PhD student at UC with no other obligations, and only have 7 hours of classes throughout the week. That means that my schedule is super flexible every day of the week, and I’m always free on weekends! I have two rescue cats at home, so I have a lot of experience socializing with and interacting with shy or overly cautious cats. On the other end of the spectrum, I’d love to play with (and tire out) a hyper cat! I will make sure that your fur babies feel safe and loved, and always have what they need!

“Jennifer did drop-in visits for my cat while I was out of town. She was consistent and kept me updated throughout the week. I’ll use her again in the future.”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and have had multiple dogs, two cats, and a ball python for over 13 years! In addition to my experience as a pet owner, I have also volunteered at the Cincinnati Zoo in various capacities for 3 years now, where I have learned techniques in animal care relating to a variety of species from mammals to reptiles to birds. I am currently pursuing a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology with the hope to some day work with animals professionally. I was a member of my high schools zoology and marine biology clubs for all 4 years and also founded a beekeeping club. I am currently a college student looking to pet sit during school breaks. I will be in town and available December 13-31 of this year. I offer free meet and greets and I will not have another job at this time and so can be quite flexible to you/your pets needs. I can come over at regular time frames to walk, provide food and water, play, and spend time with your pet. I also offer overnight stays and can accommodate irregular schedules.

About: I have helped and cared for many different types of animals such as cats, dogs, fish, reptiles and more! I love giving animals that extra time and attention they need and have cared for many owners in the past. I have a fairly busy schedule with college and athletics but I am available throughout the day especially during the morning and evening. I am able to work with clients and provide the appropriate care needed for their pets:) Depending on the home, I am able to do whatever is needed to make my clients feel comfortable! I love keeping my own areas tidy and would love to do the same while caring for animals. Cleaning and making sure the animals things stay kept is a must for me and I appreciate being told if something specific needs done. No job is too much for me:)

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. From fun-filled walks and playtime to administering medications and providing attentive senior care, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique needs. I’m also skilled in basic training and maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. My passion for keeping dogs happy and healthy ensures they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. Daily Routine:     1.    Morning Care:     •    Start the day with a morning potty break for Tootsie, followed by her breakfast. Puppies often have high energy in the morning, so I set aside 15-20 minutes for a walk or playtime to help her burn off energy.     •    This ensures she’s settled while I begin my workday.     2.    Midday Break:     •    Working from home allows me to schedule a midday potty break and a short walk. This keeps Tootsie active and gives me a mental break from work.     3.    Afternoon Engagement:     •    I incorporate short play sessions between tasks to provide Toots with mental stimulation, whether it’s a game of fetch, tug, or a puzzle toy.     •    These breaks are timed to coincide with natural pauses in my workflow, helping me stay refreshed and productive.     4.    Evening Care:     •    I dedicate time for a longer walk or play session to meet her exercise needs.     •    Dinner and another potty break follow, ensuring she’s relaxed for the evening.     5.    Winding Down:     •    We end the day with cuddle time and one last potty break before bed, maintaining her routine and comfort. Weekly Routine:     •    Training Sessions: I include short, 5-10 minute training sessions daily to reinforce good behaviors and teach new commands.     •    Socialization: On weekends, I take my dog to a park or pet-friendly area to expose her to new environments, people, and other dogs.     •    Grooming and Maintenance: Weekly brushing keeps her long coat healthy, and I check her nails and ears regularly to prevent any issues.     •    House Cleaning: I allocate time to clean her bedding, toys, and the areas where she spends time to maintain hygiene. Working from home makes it easier to integrate these tasks naturally into my day. It ensures Tootsie’s needs are met while allowing me to balance work responsibilities effectively. When caring for pets in either my own home or a client's home, I prioritize safety by ensuring a secure environment, following their specific care instructions diligently, closely monitoring their behavior, and always keeping their well-being at the forefront, including providing proper food, water, exercise, and access to designated bathroom areas, while fostering a trusting relationship through consistent routines and gentle interactions. Key aspects of pet care, depending on the service offered: Basic Needs: Feeding: Providing the correct amount of their prescribed food at scheduled times, ensuring fresh water is always available. Waste Management: Regularly cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs outside for bathroom breaks, and proper disposal of waste. Exercise: Engaging in appropriate physical activity based on the pet's breed and needs, such as walks, playtime, or interactive toys. Safety Measures: Secure Environment: Checking for potential hazards like open doors, toxic substances, and securing areas that could be dangerous for the pet. Leash Supervision: Always using a leash when walking dogs outdoors in public areas. Medication Administration: Following strict instructions for administering any prescribed medications. Trust Building: Positive Reinforcement: Using positive training techniques and rewards to build a positive relationship. Gentle Handling: Respecting the pet's boundaries and comfort level, avoiding forceful actions. Communication: Maintaining open communication with the client regarding any concerns or changes in the pet's behavior.

About: New to Rover, NOT new to cat sitting! I’ve been caring for cats ever since I was a little girl! Growing up, my family rescued numerous cats, so I’ve had experience with all kinds of personalities, from playful and outgoing to shy and independent. I now have two cats of my own here in Cincinnati, and they are my absolute world! As a cat mom myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind while traveling. I want to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in loving hands! I also have experience administering small pills to cats. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them space to feel comfortable, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own! I currently work a corporate 9-5 job that is fully remote, so I can really make the schedule around my plans for that day to give all the love to your pets! When caring for pets in a home, my goal is to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while sticking to their normal routine! I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and plenty of attention. Whether your cat loves playtime and cuddles or prefers their own space, I’m happy to adjust to their personality and needs. I also understand how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I’m always happy to send pictures and updates! I’ll treat your pets and home with the same love, care, and respect I would my own.

“We had a great experience with our drop-in visits! Communication was excellent, our dog was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We’d absolutely book again.”
