Cat Sitting in Maytown

“Sarah is a wonderful sitter! Booked her for two drop-ins with walks and my dogs absolutely loved her. One of my dogs is a little older and requires medication and she was very gentle getting her to take it. She’s very communicative throughout. Absolutely recommend Sarah!”

Matthew J.

“This was our first time with a new pet sitter here in WA and it was really lovely to get home and find all our babies restful and relaxed. She took care of all their needs (we have 4 senior babies) and even checked off the list I left for her! She updated me with texts too which was really nice. Thank you Ronda!”

Traci L.

“Austin has been a great help, doing drop in visits daily and playing with my pups- giving them lots of love and attention while we are away on a trip! Highly recommend him!”

Morgan W.

“Stephanie provided excellent service for our two middle aged cats, providing drop-in- visits, taking photos, playing with toy's, pickup up mail from the mailbox and bringing in packages. She was ontime, all the time, and she notified us of a possible problem at the house that could have been missed without her checking. All in all another great service from Stephanie.”

Kevin C.

“Ashley did great with our two high energy dogs (labradoodle & black lab)! Really appreciated her detailed report on the drop-in and how they did during her visit. Will hire again for drop-in visits and dog care when needed!”

Kiara L.

“We had a wonderful experience. He took such thoughtful care of our dog and was incredibly flexible when our timing shifted. He also handled a little accident with complete kindness, which meant a lot to us. Our dogs were happy, calm, and clearly well loved. Highly recommend!”

Alejandra S.

“It is very hard to leave our kids but Ruby gives us the peace of mind that they are being taken care of and getting loved on like we love on them! We look forward to our next booking with her!”

Mandie V.

“Becky is one of Poppy’s favorite people. She is always so happy to see her and enjoys her visits. The updates while I’m busy working help me a bunch too!”

Christina M.

“This is the second time we’ve hired Claire and I would 100000% recommend her to any and everyone. She goes above and beyond the expectations, she shows my dogs so much love, they adore her! She takes amazing pictures of them that shows them happy and healthy, she has amazing communication and I hope everyone doesn’t book her up only because I want to make sure she is available for us next time we need her! Claire is such a nice, genuine person and our family loves to hire her, she’s our first thought any time we need a dog sitter. Definitely put in your requests for her before she’s too booked up!”

About: *Focusing primarily on cat boarding and care at this time. I will take new dogs on a case by case basis, provided they are well behaved, UTD on all flea, tick, heartworm meds, and rabies vaccine. Cat boarding has become more of my priority. Cat parents, please look for my section on cat care! :) * Welcome to my home, and your cat or dog's new favorite place to stay, Eggbutt Ranch - 3 acres of pet paradise. (For cat boarding- please see cat care details!) Here on my little ranch, I have 3 acres on which I raise and care for my beloved horse, chickens, and goats. With so many different animals and sights to see on the ranch, your pet will have plenty to sniff and explore across the acreage, including the creek (and the wildlife that live along the creek!) that runs through my property. For your pet's safety as well as my animals, I do not let your pet directly interact with the ranch animals, and they are kept on leash, but they can certainly see and smell them as your pet accompanys me on my daily feeding and watering of the ranch animals, getting to see and smell so many new things! Being a remote/online master's student, I am home 24/7 to watch over and care for your beloved pets, and have great flexibility in my schedule. Your pet is never alone, except for maybe an hour if I have to dash out to the grocery store! They do not leave my sight, and enjoy multiple outings throughout the day, generally every 2 hours to go out and go potty, and take a mini walk around the property or play a game of fetch. With every boarded dog, I take them on a daily 45-60 minute walk around the nearby neighborhoods to get exercise and some sniffing enrichment to see and smell even more new things. This is typically conducted in the morning after breakfast, but is highly dependent on when there is a break in the rain. If it is raining, we just look for when there is a dry patch throughout the day and go for our walk then. If your dog cannot handle a 45 minute walk, I modify the walk so that it is shorter and can better accommodate that animal's fitness level and ability. If your dog is very high energy and walk doesn't quite meet their exercise needs, I can also jog/run with them to help get that energy out! Aside from a daily exercise and enrichment walk and mini-walks around the property every few hours, I also try to once daily have indoor or outdoor play sessions with toys. If your dog loves tug-o-war, we play that! If they love to fetch, we throw the ball! If they are not much toy motivated, and just like to snuggle up and get some good belly rubs, we do that too! I try to include play sessions during the day to keep them engaged, mentally and physically stimulated, and happy. Being an outdoors person myself, your dog will also get to join me outside as I continuously work on and improve my property! They get to join me outside and enjoy the fresh air while I keep an eye on them and work on fencing, woodworking projects, gardening, and more. With owner approval, I also take them with me on hikes on occasion at the nearby hiking trails and state and county parks. Your pet becomes a part of my life while they are here. They aren't left out of anything, so they're never bored! For all pets boarded with me, I only take on one family and their pets at a time, in order to keep your pet safe, and keep the number of animals to a manageable level. Rest assured, when you board with me, your pet(s) are the only one getting all the love and attention! Strange dogs or kitties don't always mix well, so I make it a policy to only board one family's pet(s) at a time in order to keep everyone safe. I hold a similar policy for doggy daycare services, I only take on one family's pets per day. If your requested boarding days overlap with a day I am providing daycare services for another client, that is ok, I will just inform you that there are other dogs in the house that day, and keep them separated. I do this for everyone's safety, as strange animals don't always mix well, especially in what may be a new and unfamiliar environment for your pet. Again, when you board with me, your pet(s) are the only ones being boarded at that time due to my aforementioned policy. It may just be that they overlap with a daycare day, which I will let you know of. I make it a practice to send a text/message as well as a few photos of your pet(s) each day to update you as to how they are doing, and to give you peace of mind that they are safe and having fun! If you are boarding with me or using day-care services, I have three partially-fenced acres. Given that it is currently only partially fenced, I keep all animals on a leash/long leash when we go outside for their safety. I use a long leash (22-40 feet long) so that your pet can still explore and run around and have fun while we play fetch and explore around the acreage, but is still safe. Please reach out with any questions, I'd be happy to answer and help! Although this is my first time using Rover, rest assured I have petsat for 15+ years now, for a variety of animals, having begun pet sitting for a large variety for animals of all sizes, ages, and abilities, both domestic and farm, since age 10. Schedule: I'm currently a masters students, in a remote/online program, so I am home 24/7, minus when I run to get groceries. Thanks to my extraordinarily flexible schedule, I have the ability to switch around my own items or "to-do" items in order to meet your pets needs. Safety, trust, environment: I only board one client, or one family's pets at a time, and only take on one client/family's pet(s) per day. This is to not only ensure that your pet is getting my full attention and love, and the number of animals to a manageable number, but to keep them safe, as animals from different families don't always mix well. If your boarding day happens to overlap with a day that I am providing daycare services, I will inform you of this, though rest assured the animals will be kept separate until the daycare clients are picked up. I have baby/pet gates I can utilize for this purpose. I have on hand a small animal first aid kit that I have used in the past for my own animals when needed. This is at the ready in case your sweet pet needs a small cut or scrape disinfected. In the event of a true emergency, I keep on hand a list of nearby emergency vets. During the night when it is time to sleep, dogs are created for their safety. Since it's impossible to keep a close eye on a dog when I am sleeping, I crate them in order to keep them from getting into something they shouldn't, and to prevent any mishaps. All my pet beds and bowls are washed in between boarding stays in order to eliminate any chances of germs or illness being passed between pets. In my home, I am very hands-on with all my animals care. From medications, to grooming, to exercise, training, and daily care and nutrition, I do it all myself, and am happy to provide the same for your beloved pet as well. For any pet boarded with me, or that is in day-care, or that I am providing drop-in visits for, each day you will be sent a photo with a short update on how your beloved critter is doing, including any concerns should they arise. This is something I have always done for anyone I have pet or ranch sat for, as I believe it brings peace of mind for all involved. For cat boarding, I have an empty bedroom in my home that can be utilized as a boarded cat "condo" in which they can be peacefully, and safely isolated from my own pets (4 cats) if needed or preferred, and in order to keep stress levels down if you would like. I can supply scratchers and toys during your cats stay, as well as beds, water and food bowls. Boarding rules: -Please make sure you bring your pet's food, and enough for the duration of their stay! -Please let me know if the animal has any behavioral issues (dog aggression, anxiety, fear, inappropriate elimination, etc). I will not take on dogs that have any human aggression or that have a bite history. -Please let me know if the animal has any medical issues. I can take most of these cases on, I just need to know what to expect, so that I can properly care for the animal, or let you know if I am not the right fit. -Please provide a care sheet for each animal, ideally including their name, age, sex, weight, emergency contacts, veterinarian, any medical concerns, current food and amount they eat per day, their vaccination status, microchip status, as well as any relevant medical or life history. This care sheet will be used not only to provide the best care possible for your pet, but also in case of emergency, should your pet need a vet visit. -Animals must be up to date on their vaccinations and any flea/tick/heartworm medication.

About: I have a deep well of patience, understanding and affection for your pet. When I am interacting with a dog or cat, they recieve my sole and loving attention. I can't wait to meet yours! I am a retired teacher so I have a lot of management skills and am supremely responsible. I am a retired teacher so I have a ton of time. I am moving from managing teen agers to having loving interactions with pets. I am a single woman in my 50's with no pets of my own, so I am very available to care for your animals. Since I have been back in the USA after teaching overseas for years, I have taken care of and house sat for many people who were pleased with my services. I would love to get to know your animals and make them feel safe and secure while you are gone!

“Jed was very professional and helpful with our pups. He kept us updated on the status of them when he went over to let them out. Thank you so much for the help.”

About: From a simple feed, check in and walk, to a week long house sit, I’ve had much experience taking care of all the sweet doggies out there! Having housed a few myself over the years, and a rescuer of one sweet little wiener named Bo, I will care for your best friend the best I can!! I’m a mom to three kids, and while they go to school during the day, I’d honestly love to make a little extra money to be able to support them more with their hobbies and other things they would love to do participate in to enhance their future! Taking care of pets seem like a great way to do that. I thrive on instructions for you pet(s) to ensure I can meet the needs to your little besties as well as satisfying the needs of their parents (you!)

“Ana was wonderful! Very responsive, friendly, totally reliable and a natural with our dogs. She watched our two Labradors for a couple days, she was great about sending notes and pictures of how things were going, our dogs loved her! We would definitely recommend her services!”
