Cat Sitting Maryknoll

About: I was a vet tech at the clinic I grew up by until recently, when I changed career fields. As a former vet tech, I am comfortable giving oral and injectable medications, working with special care animals (kidney disease/renal failure, epilepsy, diabetes, Cushings/Addisons, etc) and have wellbeing expertise beyond that of a typical sitter; if something goes wrong, I know protocol and when to get a vet involved. If you happen to have animals beyond just dogs and cats, I have large and small animal experience (livestock, especially horses, chickens, dogs of all sizes, cats, exotics) and pet sat for friends and family for years until I moved. I love animals and am looking forward to get to know yours! I'm working full time M-F but work nearby and have a lunch break in the middle of the day. I'm an active person and am happy to exercise your baby and give them lots of love. I care for your pets as if they were my own. I believe in not just doing what's necessary (feeding, potty breaks/cleaning the litter box) but also in giving mental and physical exercise. I'm happy to live on your pet or let them keep their distance according to their personality and needs.

“CeCe did a great job taking care of our cat! She was very responsive, visited on time and got some belly rubs by the end of the trip! Highly recommend”

“Quin had a wonderful time with Becky! I loved her updates and photos of him out on his sunny walks and appreciated her communication. It's very clear that she loves the animals she cares for! I will definitely book her again and would recommend.”

“Valerie is wonderful. Very flexible, kind and caring! Will be rebooking for all my upcoming pet needs.”

“Marta has cared for our 3-4 month old puppy several times in the last weeks and every time we come home, he is happy and relaxed. Her wise caring approach is evident throughout: from the first meet-and-greet through each care visit. Our fellow is a rescue pup, so her capacity to support his emotional well-being takes on great significance in tgese early stages of his growth.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since we first got our family dog when I was 15. I take care of my neighbors dogs/cats when they go on vacation as well as family members pets when needed. I currently have no pets in my home but would love to help you care for yours. I do work full time but definitely have time to take care of your pups. I am available for boarding Thursday nights to Monday nights or stop by your home when needed for a walk or just to hang out with them! I live in a complex with plenty of outdoor space and close by a walking path. My husband and I love dogs of all sizes and would love to take care of them!

“Jessica has made a wonderful connection with Dolly. We are lucky to have her for our dog”

About: Hi! I'm Brittany. Nice to meet you! I have around 9+ combined years of experience petsitting and a lifetime of experience around animals. I have always loved animals and started dogwalking as a small side job in 2012 in highschool. I got my real start in 2018 working full-time for a small pet-sitting business, where I learned the ropes and built the skills I still use every day. Since about 2020 I have branched off independently and have continued to be a loved local petsitter for many clients in my area. Other than petsitting I work at a local pet store, if you know me please say hello! I value myself as trusted petsitter in my community, with many of my clients existing through referrals, past pet sitting connections, and from the pet store where I work. Several of my independent clients have also been kind enough to leave me Rover reviews during my initial arrival here. Most of my business actively continues through those channels, but I decided to keep Rover as a way to add a little extra outreach and connect with new families. Please let me know if you would like any extra references for your comfort. I am excited for the chance to meet more furry and non furry friends. I have experience caring for all kinds of pets including super seniors, puppies and kittens, and dogs and cats with a wide variety of medical conditions requiring administration of regular meds, treatments, or insulin. I am familar with pets with strict dietary requirements or regimens (dont worry its not too complicated!). I am comfortable handling strong pullers, leash aggressive/reactive dogs and have a gentle touch to be able to bond with fearful feral cats. I also have experience with aquatic pets, small animals like chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits and some experience with lizards and birds. I can also do water parameter testing on your aquariums if equipment is provided to me. Pets are truly my life! And I know your pets are Your life so I will always do everything to ensure your pets are loved, safe, and cared for while you are away and make sure we have lots of fun too! I work at a pet store 6 days a week from 10–6 with a midday break I use for visits. For pets needing 1 or 2 visits a day, they will happen before and/or after those hours. For overnight or 3x visit a day clients I will provide one of the visits during my lunch break. Since I work at a pet store, I can easily grab many forgotten or necessary items for your pet anytime. My schedule ensures I am usually only ever away for ~5 hours at a time. Pets I care for must be okay with some time by themselves, since my bookings are not considered 24/7 care (non -constant). If you need something more full-time, please feel free to message me and I may be able to work something out depending on the request. The schedule I keep generally works well for my clients and the majority of pet owners, but for special circumstances I can make adjustments for specific days if necessary Overnights typically include Dinner care through Breakfast care and a single return visit midday. I require all of my clients to provide up to date preferred vet information, emergency contact info and provide me prior authorization to seek emergency care for their pets. To this date I have never had to use that information for any emergencies, but I always ask for it. Other than that I will strictly follow rules requested of me, I never do any off leash without being explicitly instructed to, and will only ever provide pets snacks and food that are indicated to me to use for them. I will never take any unnecessary risks with your pet or with your home. I am always respectful with homes and try to leave them as close to how it was before or cleaner than when I arrived as possible. I will make sure plants are watered, mail is inside and check in regularly with images. I am also open to some video or voice calling with your pets if requested. I am unable to provide full home cleaning services, however, I will within reason wash requested items (such as bedding or towels), clean up after myself, and make sure pet areas and bowls are kept tidy.

“Wow. I can’t say enough about the quality of care Brandon provided to our active dog Coco (who needed medicine administered and extra TLC during his visit) and our kitty Cora. His communication with us and the animals was wonderful, he updated us in real time, and everyone was in great shape when we arrived home. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Brandon!”

“What a lovely cat sitter 💜💜💜 we had a last minute PANIC because our original cat sitter e for sick and couldn’t do it. Hansol swooped in at the last minute and was a massive help! Took great care of the cats and garden. Highly recommend.”

“This was our first time booking anything concerning a sitter for our two dogs. We haven't gone on vacation in years because we were so anxious about leaving our dog with someone or some place. After reviewing different sitters we picked Yasmeen. She came over and had a trusting and pleasant energy. Had I not known my lab I would be nervous because he can be hyper initially. Yasmeen just put a treat directly into his mouth as if he was her dog! We were sold at that very moment. Our Maltese liked her immediately. She was willing to make all of us comfortable by fulfilling our requests. Keep in mind she had the keys to our entire home for a week while we were in another country! She did 3 drop ins per day. She sent cute, goofy pictures, potty info and events such as chasing bees for each visit. That relieved the little anxiety that was left while away. She even took our packages inside the house. We came home and they were happy to see us, but they also seemed to be at peace which we were thankful for. She also left us a little thank you note. We will 100% use her again!”

“Danny was super responsive and spent some time with our precious pup on a day we were away for longer than he’s used to. Will definitely have Danny watch Bennie again! :)”

“Jacqueline was exceptional all around! She took really good care of our cat, and was very communicative with thoughtful updates about him during each visit. Our cat needs medication twice a day, his food needs to be served in a specific manner (or else he won't eat it), and he does tend to throw up from time to time (which he did when we were gone) - but Jacqueline handled it all to perfection. She was very generous with her time, and we are sure that our cat is already looking forward to her next visit.”

About: Hello there! I am a 34 year old teacher who provides animal care all year long, part time during the year and full time during the summer 😊 I have pets of my own, a dog and cat, as well as experience volunteering at animal shelters. I was previously an assistant manager at a doggy day care where I did everything from basic care and cleaning of the facilities as well as bathing and drying dogs, feeding, administering medications, enrichment play, walks and of course…cuddles! I care for my own pets, 1 dog and 1 cat everyday by feeding, providing love and treats as well as walks and enrichment activities. For clients, it is summer time which means my schedule is very flexible to help you out as best as I can! I treat every animal with love and it is their space so they choose the pace! I make sure to let them approach me and read their body language for what they are comfortable with.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life! My family dog of 12 years passed away last year, but she definitely taught me a lot. I have experience with dogs of all ages, even senior dogs! I am a recent college graduate (Bucknell University Class of 2024!) taking a gap year before pursuing a master's degree. This means my schedule for the time being is incredibly flexible, and I can help accommodate to your scheduling needs! I happily follow all instructions left for your pet care, and am happy to send consistent updates about your pets well-being! Whatever makes you most comfortable in your home!
