Cat Sitting Madrone

About: I've cared for dogs for years and currently provide dog sitting and walking for local families outside of Rover. As someone who is very family-oriented, I treat every dog like they're part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I'm happy to follow each pet's unique routine and care needs. My home has a spacious, fenced backyard with grass where dogs can safely play, exercise, and enjoy plenty of outdoor time, and I'm committed to giving every pet the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. I love starting my day with walking your family pet. Always bring joy to your pet and me. Start your day on a positive note. I'm in tune with your pets needs. Its like babysitting my Grandkids. They have all my attention. My house is clean and safe. I have a beautiful fenced in yard. My yard has natural well maintained grass. My yard has plenty of shade in the afternoon . Love playing and quality time with your family pet. I live next two lovely parks in my neighborhood.

“Susan was great! One big complaint though! When I got home I’m pretty sure my dogs were disappointed when it wasn’t Susan! Haha kidding of course. I would highly recommend!”

About: I have had dogs all my life and a good pup brings me joy. I have 1 dogs of my own that I love to take on long walks, hiking, and to the beach. I would love to share those experiences with your loved ones aka dogs!! I know we live in busy world and sometimes we need just a little help keeping the pups happy, please let me help so you don't have feel guilty for not taking your buddy out. A few things your dogs will experience while in my care are attention, love, affection, and of course some treats if you will allow. I am a very out going person and your pups will be in good hands. I am here to help. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pets to take on walks and more. I am available on weekends and weekdays. All dogs I for care will receive walks, snuggle time and more throughout the day, rather they are in my home or their home. Thanks

“Julie was amazingly patient and creative with our girl, Chloe, whom we've never left with anyone other than trusted family in the 6 years we've had her. Julie came for an intro, went on a walk, learned Chloe's "tricks" (along with her fears!) and listened to all our concerns. Chloe did GREAT, and welcomed Julie with a wagging tail by day 2!”

“Perfect care. Great communication and level of care. Went above and beyond to take care of my cat and even the backyard feral cat. Highly recommend.”

“Johnathan was great with our cats and made us feel at ease while we were away. He sent regular updates with lots of cute photos, and it was clear they were well cared for. You could tell he genuinely cared about their well-being. We also had an unexpected issue with ants, and he went above and beyond to help take care of it for us, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy cats and everything just as we left it. We would definitely book with Johnathan again and highly recommend him!”

About: I have taken care of small dogs and big dogs. I have owned 2 German Shepherd dogs and a Pug over the last 15 years. I have been a sitter and a walker for family and friends. Our pug lived to 16 years old and was blind and deaf. I make my 2 year old German Shepherds food for her because of diet restrictions. I will treat your dog like my own. I will show them love, and attention they deserve. If your dog needs a walk to get that energy out, I would love to be the one to take your dog to play. I am retired, so my schedule is open. All I ask is for a day or so advance on scheduling. I love walking my dog and getting her energy out. If you have a high energy dog that needs walks, or any dog that enjoys the outdoors, I would love to be your choice. I will come to your home to walk your dog, feed them, let them have a potty break, or just to visit. Whatever your needs are, I will do my best to fulfill those needs

“Diane was amazing- great communication and gave our cats all they needed while we were gone”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. From looking after neighborhood dogs as a young girl to caring for my own pets and those of family and friends, animals have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home in Morgan Hill and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily adapt to each pet’s individual needs and routine. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, extra attention while you’re at work, or reliable care while you’re away, I have the flexibility to provide dependable and attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the pet owner’s instructions and routine to help their pet feel comfortable and secure. I make safety my top priority by ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are secure before going outside and by keeping a close eye on each pet during walks and playtime. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and care while respecting the client’s home and their pet’s established routine. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals. When I was 14, I begged my parents for a dog, and they finally gave in. I was so excited! I got another dog when I was 18. My first dog had some health issues, like inconsistent urination and alopecia, which helped me learn how to administer medication. In the past few years, I’ve been cat-sitting for family and friends, and I absolutely love spending time with cats during the day! I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week. I work primarily in the evenings, which allows me to provide morning and daytime visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am also available for overnight house sitting and can stay with your pets to help maintain their normal routine and provide comfort while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication administration, exercise routines, and any special needs. I take the time to build trust with each pet, provide plenty of attention and affection, and ensure they feel secure in their familiar environment. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Zee is a great sitter and very communicative! My kitty opened up to her, and through pictures I can tell she was cared for and that my kitty enjoyed the visits.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I am glad we asked Merryn to watch our kitties! After our walkthrough with her we felt extremely comfortable and confident that she would give them the same love and attention that we would. Merryn was an excellent communicator and I loved receiving the photo updates along the way.”

About: I’ve been a dog mom ever since I was a little girl. In 3rd grade, I was even known as the dog lover of my class. I have experience with a few different types of dogs such as Chihuahuas, Rottweilers, Poodles, etc. I currently work from home running my online web design studio so it's nice to be able to step away from the computer often to reset and what better way than to spend time with my favorites, dogs! I also work a part time retail job 4 days a week so I'm able to book walks on my days off of that job :) I'm a proud dog mom to 3 Maltipoos, Andy, Astro, and Pablo. If your dog is okay with other dogs, there's a possibility Andy and/or Astro will join! Please note I'm 5'0, I'm totally open to large/giant dogs, but preferably if they're good on leash (no leash reactivity, pulling, etc.), thanks so much for understanding! Rest assured your baby is in good hands! I'm a web designer so I need to be able to step away from my screen every so often for a break so going out for a walk is perfect for that! Since it's summer, it's preferred when the pavement isn't so hot. I have 3 dogs, two 8 year olds and one 15 year old. Our 8 year olds go on walks twice a day, once as soon we wake up, and again an hour after dinner. Our 15 year old is only allowed one short walk per day due to joint pain.

About: I have owned dogs my whole life, specifically rottweilers and now a golden retriever! I am veterinary assistant certified and knowledgeable on animal nutrition. I worked at a food and pet supply store for two years (An Jan). I am a pre-veterinary microbiology major as well. I love to hike, play with, and do enrichment with dogs. I also enjoy taking care of cats and am currently a long term cat-sitter for multiple people! I accept dogs of all sizes and conditions, as long as they are muzzle trained if reactive to other animals or humans. I am free for the summer! I will only have a few dates here and there I am unavailable, and will be open to bookings up until august 10th. I do not mind early morning bookings, but I would prefer bookings that do not surpass 7 pm. I will not bring animals into my home, but I have a large park across the street from my home that I am more than willing to take dogs to! My car can hold medium sized crates to small sized crates if needed. I can take dogs on specific trails or hikes upon request, I do not mind going on more than 1 hour walks/hikes, playing, or doing enrichment if requested. I do not mind giving shots or giving medications in pill form, droppers, pastes, you name it! I can do early morning client-home visits; the earliest being 6 am and the latest I will visit a home at night is 9 pm. I do not mind more than 3 check ins per day! If your animal has specific accommodations, please do not be afraid to let me know! Your animal is a part of your family and should be treated as such.

“Courtney saved my bacon when I mis-booked my days with her. She got to Eaton ASAP and made sure he was fed and got his medication. She's a lifesaver and Eaton loves to go on walks with her.”

About: I'm adventurous and love to be outdoors, super active. But I also love to cuddle and give the love and attention a dog needs. I am very outgoing person however, I don't mind to take a break and relax by enjoying the company of your dogs :) I am accustomed to waking up super early in the morning and staying up late at night as well so if there are certain tasks that need to be done at a certain time as long as I am informed, I can do. Your dog will be pet a lot and next to me if she or he enjoys company! Like I said, dogs make me happy! I have taken care of a variety of dogs and I love it!

About: I’ve taken care of family and friend’s dogs and cats: for 2 years now. Often times I would have their dogs stay with me. I kept them safe, cleaned, fed, and happy with play time and walks. I also have spent time with cats, doing drop-in visits, and feeding them. In addition I have an 11 year old cockapoo, so I can confidently say I have experience with animals and dogs that are different breeds and ages. I enjoy being around friendly animals. I’m currently off of school for the summer, so I’ll have lots of free time to take care of any friendly cats or dogs, happily! I enjoy taking morning walks with my dog, and would love to share this experience with other dogs! I am an owner to an 11 year old cockapoo who has a unique personality. I can confidently say I have great experience with taking care of pets. In addition I’ve taken care of 4 other dogs with different personalities and breeds, so I’ve gotten the hang of being adaptable. I offer dog walking and check-in services, providing exercise and care. Your pet will receive personalized attention, ensuring their happiness and well-being while you're away. I make sure your pet is well-fed, has water for hydration, and is being taken out for walks, bathroom breaks, and provided play time. I think it’s important for dogs to let out their energy, as storing energy can cause anxiety. In my eyes your dogs, are your children, and during my time and visits, they are my number one priority!

About: I will treat your fur baby like my own! I have had dogs my entire life. I understand animals and their needs. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I am a stay at home mom. So I am very flexible with fitting in pet care into my day! If you need last minute extra help, I am available! I will follow any instructions for the pet and eager to start! I respect any request and willing to provide support wherever I am needed!

“Nicki was so amazing with our fur babies. She went above and beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend Nicki. She easily and smoothly handled all of the needs with our fur babies.”
