Cat Sitting McFarland

“This was our first time using Rover and Heather made it easy! She was super responsive and helpful. She made sure to message us daily with pictures and videos, and we knew Charlie was in good hands.”

“Katie took excellent care of my cat Ozzy while I was away this past week. I appreciated the updates on how he was doing and that she took a little extra time to play with him—from the pictures, it looked like he was having a great time. Thank you!”

“Holly and Ana Maria were incredible! They were extremy communicative, very very sweet and kept me in the loop with how Leche was doing every single day. Holly and Maria have both cats and dogs that are extremely well socialized around other cats. Though Leche was scared at first, she was able to get more and more comfortable each day and I knew this because Ana Maria was keeping me updated frequently with pictures and videos showing Leche's progress. They played with her, fed her, gave her space and lots of love! Thank you Holly and Ana Maria! I would recommend anyone decide to go with them for their pet sitting needs. :)”

About: Returning after a hiatus! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to bring my laptop to your home so I can spend extra time keeping your pet company. . As a cat owner (and former dog owner) myself, I know how much the little details matter. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, habits, and changing needs, and follow their usual feeding, play, and rest routines as closely as possible. . Whether your pet loves attention or prefers a little space, I’ll take my cues from them and help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I work from home fulltime and have a fairly flexible schedule. I’m happy to work at your home to spend extra time with your pet. I’m very aware of changes in pet personality and needs. I’ll pattern play and care as close to their normal routine as possible, encouraging them to feel safe and secure despite their human(s) being away.

About: I’ve always lived in a household with cats and dogs - growing up, my parents had cats and dogs and now that I live on my own, I have 2 kitties of my own - Pumpkin and Jasper! I have pet sat for neighbors, friends, and coworkers and am always so happy to do it! I work fully remote and have flexible hours, so it is easy for me to drop in! I also could work at your home and spend time with your babies if you have wifi! I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with my 2 kitties. I’ve had them both since they were kittens - one is 5 years old now and the other is 3 years old. They are spoiled with treats, play time, brushing, and kisses!

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals including cats and dogs throughout my life. These animals have had varying temperaments and care requirements giving me a range of care experiences. I am a college student who is busy for some part of the morning and afternoon but can drop in about three times a day. In my own home, I have two cats and grew up with two dogs. Frequent walks for the dogs and enrichment for the cats are a staple.

“Hailey was amazing with my elderly cat! She was on time, gave medication and so friendly! Highly recommend her for night away and drop in visits!”

“Birch is an amazing pet sitter! Since she worked as a vet technician for many years she’s a real pro. Our cat needed special care while we were on a long- planned vacation and I’m not sure we would have felt confident enough to go without Birch. She pilled our cat and graciously communicated with our friends who were also helping with cat and house sitting. We highly recommend Birch.”

About: Hi! I’m Madison, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for animals in both shelter and home settings. I volunteered with Shelter from the Storm Animal Rescue as a behavioral assessor, where I was trained to observe animal behavior, body language, temperament, and individual needs. I also helped write biographies for adoptable animals, which gave me even more experience getting to know animals as individuals and understanding their unique personalities. My family also fostered animals, so I’m very comfortable working with anxious, shy, fearful, or nervous pets. I understand that every animal is different, and some need extra patience and space before they feel comfortable with a new person. I pay close attention to body language, routines, comfort levels, and changes in behavior so I can meet your pet where they’re at and help them feel safe. I work a hybrid-remote job and am typically only in the office 1–2 days a week depending on my workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care. I love being able to spend extra time with pets who want companionship, playtime, enrichment, or just some good old-fashioned snuggles! My girlfriend, Alyssa, is also part of my pet-care journey as my partner in training! She is learning alongside me and may occasionally join me for pet care as she gains experience with different animals. I’ll remain the primary caregiver and point of contact throughout your booking. My goal is simple: I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll take the time to learn their routines, respect their boundaries, and give them the individual attention they deserve. I work a hybrid-remote job and am only in the office 1–2 days a week depending on my workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care and allows me to spend extra time with pets who need more human interaction, playtime, or snuggles! Alyssa works second shift on weekdays, so depending on the timing of your booking, she may also be able to help fill in and spend time with your furbabies while I’m at work. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. My background as a trained animal behavioral assessor helps me recognize signs of stress, fear, discomfort, or overstimulation and adjust my approach accordingly. I’m especially comfortable with shy or anxious animals and will never force interaction before they are ready. I prioritize safe handling, secure doors and gates, and making sure pets cannot accidentally escape. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, following your instructions, and making sure everything is as you left it when I leave. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: I have had 3 different dogs in my family since the day I was born so I know how to handle dogs very well. I also know how to care for cats as well because I currently have a cat of my own! I am currently a college student but I have plenty of time to care for pets! I am usually always available besides for when I occasionally go out of town to go back to my hometown. I have space outside for pets to play and I am really good at giving animals attention when needed. I do have a cat at my apartment so it would be good if your pet is good with cats too.

“Rachel does such a good job with my puppy and now my cats - they all love her. She is very responsible and gives us great peace of mind when we are out of town.”

About: Hi! My name is Marcela, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for both dogs and cats. I have two dogs of my own, Chester and Athena. Chester is my small rescue dog, and I’ve had him since I was 9 years old. I truly grew up with him, and he has been by my side for most of my life. Chester is deaf, and as he’s gotten older, he has also developed anxiety and takes medication to help manage it. Over the years, I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and understanding an animal’s individual needs can be. I communicate with Chester using hand signals and gentle body language, and caring for him has taught me so much about connecting with animals at every stage of life. Athena is my pit bull, and we love spending time outdoors with our animals. Whether we’re going for walks, playing, or simply enjoying the fresh air, I genuinely love giving animals attention, exercise, and plenty of affection. Athena has also had difficulty getting along with other dogs, so we worked with her through training to help her become more comfortable and learn how to interact appropriately. This has given me firsthand experience with the patience, structure, and careful management that some dogs need when around other animals. I also have hands on experience caring for a cat with significant medical needs. My cat, Fergi, was diagnosed with HCM and eventually developed end stage heart failure. During his illness, I became very familiar with the day to day care that comes with heart failure, including administering medications, monitoring his breathing, appetite, energy, and behavior, and paying close attention to small changes in his condition. Going through that experience also taught me how difficult it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care when they’re sick or have special needs. I know how much worry can come with wondering if they’re okay while you’re away. Because of that, I want to be the kind of person who gives another pet parent that same sense of comfort and reassurance, knowing their pet is being watched over with patience, love, and genuine care. I absolutely love cats, and after recently losing Fergi, I’m not quite ready to bring another cat into my home yet. I would, however, love the opportunity to care for and spend time with other people’s cats. It would be really special to have that connection again while giving your cat the love and attention they deserve. I also take pride in the everyday care I give my own pets, including brushing my dogs’ teeth daily. I’m happy to provide routine care like this when requested, along with walks, playtime, feeding, medication, and plenty of companionship. Whether your pet is young, a senior, anxious, shy, energetic, or needs medication or extra patience, I’ll treat them with the same kindness and attentiveness I give my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, and my goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re apart. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! ❤️ I have a flexible schedule since my partner and I run our own microgreens farm. This allows me to work pet care into my schedule and be flexible with walks, drop ins, and stays. I’ll care for your pet(s) based on their individual needs and any instructions you provide—every situation is different, and I’m happy to adapt to what’s best for them.

About: I grew up with 3 cats and a golden retriever and am missing them since moving away from home! I’ve been watching my neighbors’ and friends’ cats for years — giving them pets, playtime, and all the cuddles they want. I also volunteer at Shelter from the Storm, where I help foster and take care of kitties in need. Whether your cat is super playful, a total lap cat, or a bit shy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home with me! I work full-time but have good flexibility in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. This means I can easily do drop-in visits, walks, and overnight boarding on weekends. I’m usually available early mornings before work and evenings after work to care for your pets! I have a big yard where pets can safely play and explore. Your pet will get constant supervision, lots of playtime, and a calm, loving home environment. I can crate your dog if needed and will always follow your specific instructions.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years and have experience with dogs, cats, farm animals, and wildlife. My professional animal care experience began as a teenager working at Pine Ridge Pet Resort, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, cleaning, administering medications, monitoring behavior, and providing safe, attentive care in both boarding and daycare settings. Since then, animal care has remained a huge part of my life. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for senior pets, including administering multiple oral medications, insulin injections, and providing extra support for aging dogs with changing mobility and health needs. I also have experience giving medication to cats and caring for puppies. In addition to domestic pet care, I worked at a wildlife rescue center where I assisted with first aid, fluid administration, and hands-on care for injured animals. That experience strengthened my ability to stay calm, observant, and compassionate in high-stress situations. I work 40h each week Monday through Friday, so I am mainly available on the weekends only for now. I am getting married in a year & have 2 degrees, so I have both debt and savings to add to. I am hoping to help care for pets & put every cent earned on Rover towards my debt In my home, I have a full house of 2 dogs and 2 cats. They all get along great, but my senior dog, Daisy, doesn't get along with dogs that don't live with her. Therefore, my home is not available currently for pet sitting, but I am familiar with pet sitting for others in their homes in order to assure their pets feel safe. In my home, I feed 2x/day in an 8 hour period and walk my dogs every 3-4 hours. When it comes to other people's pets, I am open to whatever care routine your animals are used to. No matter how many steps are involved, I can do anything you need done, and I will do it with a smile on my face. I will also respect any and all boundaries in your home and only go in the designated pet areas. I have had multiple people require I stay out of certain rooms, and it has never been an issue. I am deeply appreciative of the trust I am given when caring for pets, so I won't take it for granted by disrespecting your home or boundaries.

“We had Kate do several drop in visits while we were out of town. She was very responsive, took great care of our 2 cats, and even brought some Christmas treats for them after confirming they were allowed to have them. We would definitely book with Kate in the future!”

About: I have a lot of experience with animals, especially cats and dogs. Growing up I had multiple rescue dogs and a cat. In addition to my own pets I regularly take care of my neighbors’ dogs. In the past I worked for Cherokee Kennels and volunteered for Shelter from the Storm and the Dane County Humane Society. I am currently working part time and would love to care for your pups and kitties in my free time. I am looking for jobs primarily in the evenings and weekends. I care very deeply for the health and wellness of all animals. In addition to feeding my own dog her diet specific food and treats and walking her we love to play and cuddle. This is the kind of care I have with others’ pets too.

About: I am a big time animal lover that has taken care of dogs, cats and rabbits for over 8 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their animals. I’m currently working 4 10 hour days with Thursdays and weekends off. I would be able to hang out with or stop in with your pets in the morning and evening Monday-Wed and Friday or anytime Thursday or Saturday-Sunday I can stop by or stay over and do whatever is needed to take care of the pets in my clients’ home including crating, feeding, letting outside and more!

About: I currently have three medium-large dogs and also grew up with cats, so I have been surrounded with animals my whole life. My boyfriend and I own a pet gecko and I also briefly grew up with pet Guinea pigs. I have spent lots of time with my best friend’s horses over the years and am an all around animal lover. I am a college student looking for opportunities to earn some extra money and what better way to do that then play with peoples pets! I’m currently working as a PRN CNA at a nursing home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because I pick up shifts based on my availability, I have plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet’s needs, whether that means daily visits, weekend care, or last-minute bookings. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including pet sitting for my aunt and uncle’s dogs and caring for my sister’s cats while she is away. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s normal routine and providing plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m comfortable feeding pets, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs on walks, and following specific care instructions. I also have experience giving daily allergy medication to one of my own dogs and applying topical treatments when needed. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.
