Responsible & Caring Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Rounida and I've had all sorts of pets my entire life. This includes everything from birds and mice to cats and dogs. To me, a home is simply incomplete without the joyful presence of a beloved pet. I have a true love for animals and you'll often find me stopping in the street to admire a cute dog. Over the past couple of years I have honed my skills as a devoted pet sitter. My journey started early, having cared for a diverse range of pets throughout my life. My commitment to animal welfare led me to the Humane Society, where I volunteered for years, offering tender loving care to cats, dogs, and bunnies. Spending time with these animals in need has deepened my appreciation for their resilience and capacity for affection. I understand that earning an animal's trust is key. I take the time to allow pets to warm up to me at their own pace. It's not uncommon for animals to gravitate towards me, and I've been dubbed a "cat whisperer". Your Pets' Preferences Matter: Just as with humans, animals have their quirks, preferences, and boundaries. I believe in the importance of keen observation and responsiveness to their cues. Knowing their likes and dislikes allows me to create an environment where they feel safe. I have two cats of my own who have taught what it's like on the pet parent side, and I totally get the joy of giving a forever home! They were both adopted from the same agency and come with their own special quirks. Services Offered: Hangin' out at your place, so your pets stay comfy. Walks that'll have your dogs wagging their tails off. Cat VIP treatment – whatever your fluffball fancies. Medication administration with care and precision Get ready for your pets to have a blast when you're not around! Shoot me a message, and let's team up to make sure your fur babies are all smiles and wags. Can't wait to meet you and your awesome companions! For house-sitting please specify if you'd like an overnight or for someone to stay in the home for a long period of time. I generally don't do overnights but may be able to make exceptions.

Roundia was so great with watching my cat! Went above and beyond with making sure she was fed and well taken care of when I was out of town.

Rounida did a great job watching my two cats! She sent me pictures every day and gave updates about my cats. She kept the litter area clean and even changed out my Litter Genie on her last day! I would definitely ask Rounida to watch my cats again.

Rounida took care of my cat over the Christmas holiday. They got along well and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience (lots of photos!). Thank you!

I'll keep them entertained with playtime, walks, and all the attention they crave. Medicine Magic: If your pet needs medication, consider it done. I'm experienced in administering meds and making sure they're all sorted. Updates Galore: You won't be out of the loop. I'll send you regular updates, photos. House Check: It's not just about your pets – I'll keep an eye on your place too. I can water plants, bring in the mail, and make sure everything is operating as it should!

Information Rounida S. would like to know about your pet

Animals have their own preferences, personalities and quirks so I love hearing about your pets favorite toys, their favorite treats, where they like to be pet and what they don't like. Any special health information, ways/methods for administering medication if necessary, any behaviors or triggers.

A typical day

For kitties cuddles, toys, and quality time....plus cat nip! I’m always happy to provide any pets with the affection, or space they need. I’m always happy to provide scratches, rubs, or playing with toys. For dogs I would love to take them on a hike or to the local dog park.
