Cats

Caring for pets is part of my everyday! I’ll spend time with your pets and make sure they feel very loved while you’re away. I have a lot of flexibility with my academic schedule and never leave pets alone for longer then 4 hours when house sitting.

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to leave homes how I found them (or better!) and clean up any messes pets may have made. I am also happy to water plants!

Information Janet A. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if your cat has any anxiety issues so I can be sure to help them be their happiest and most comfortable. Please tell me ahead of time about any behavioral issues. I can accommodate them!

A typical day

I always make sure to feed, water, and give any meds. Then I clean the litter box. After that the rest of my visit is spent playing, brushing, or just engaging quietly, whatever the cats seem to prefer!

Pet care experience

Please note: I go by the name River! I have been pet-sitting for two decades, both in the U.S. and abroad. I’ve cared for cats, rodents, birds, and dogs, administered medication, and am a calm, caring presence. I am excellent at giving pills to cats (an acquired skill) and great with both high energy and senior pets. I’m especially adept and helping nervous and anxious dogs, as long as you let me know what’s best for them. I love going for long walks with dogs and cuddling with cats, and am also happy to water and care for plants and do other household chores. I send regular, daily updates unless told otherwise! .

River is great, very attentive to all of our cat’s needs, can give medicine to our difficult cat, and gives all of our cats lots of love. Super dependable, would recommend!!

Took the best care of my cat! Went above and beyond with updates and made sure I had nothing to worry about with going away. Very quick communication and very reliable! Will be rebooking!

Janet was easy to communicate with, and genuinely cares about the wellbeing of your pets! She took wonderful care of my two cats during the holidays. I highly recommend booking her!

River went above and beyond when she sat for my cat for nearly two weeks over the holidays! She is a natural with cats - even a shy one like mine seemed to really warm up to her. The communication was great. Her daily updates were detailed and included photos. And when I returned home, everything was in perfect order. I would definitely recommend her next time you need a pet sitter!
