Pet Sitting Monticello

“Tawnia has been wonderfully consistent and communicative. If you're looking for a mature, consistent pet sitter, look no further. She treats her Rover commitments seriously. She communicates her needs/preferences clearly and responds respectfully to any special requests I've made. I feel that she goes above & beyond with her report cards, sending cute photos and descriptive updates of the visit each day. Her help has been so instrumental and appreciated as I work long hours and have gone through quite a life transition this past year. Thank you, Tawnia!”

About: My love for animals started long ago, and cats have always held a special place in my heart. I genuinely relate to them — their quiet intelligence, their independence, their softness, their quirks. Honestly, I’ve always felt like I understand cats on a level that comes more naturally to me than most human interactions. Cats thrive when someone respects their boundaries, reads their subtle cues, and honors their routines. That’s exactly how I care for them. I pay attention to the details: the way they flick their tail when they’re curious, the slow blink that says they trust you, the little habits that make them feel safe and seen. When I care for your cat, they’re not just being looked after — they’re being understood. I create a calm, predictable environment where they can explore, nap, play, and feel completely at ease. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets cats — someone who sees your feline friend as a whole personality, not just a pet — I would love to care for your best friend. Dogs-Dogs love me because I meet them exactly where they are. I move slowly for the shy ones, celebrate the goofy ones, and give the anxious ones a calm place to breathe. I pay attention to their signals—the soft tail wag, the hopeful glance, the little lean that says “I trust you.” I speak their language with patience, consistency, and kindness. They know I’m safe. They know I listen. They know I care. And in return, they give me their whole hearts—one wag, one nuzzle, one happy trot at a time. I have a widely-varied flexible schedule and would have plenty of time to care for your cat or dog as needed. Pet care blends seamlessly into my daily and weekly rhythm because I already live a life built around consistency, calm energy, and being home throughout the day. Between running my home bakery and keeping a steady household routine, I’m present — really present — which means animals get attention, companionship, and structure instead of rushed check‑ins. Caring for a pet in their own home is all about honoring their comfort zone. I step into their space gently, keeping everything familiar — their routines, their favorite spots, their feeding schedule, and the little habits that make them feel secure. I move slowly, respectfully, and with the kind of calm energy animals naturally respond to. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication to preferred walking routes or playtime rituals. I pay attention to the details: how they greet me, how they settle, what makes them curious, and what helps them relax. I keep their environment tidy, their water fresh, and their day predictable. While I’m there, your pet gets companionship, structure, and genuine affection — not rushed check‑ins. I stay present, tuned in, and mindful of their emotional needs. Whether it’s a cat who prefers quiet company or a dog who thrives on routine and reassurance, I adapt to their personality and pace. Your home stays just as you left it, and your pet stays in the place where they feel safest. My goal is simple: to make sure your best friend feels understood, cared for, and completely at ease until you return.

“Christina is AMAZING!!!! I think my pup was disappointed to see me walk through the door. Her communication/feedback is superior. I don’t trust anyone BUT Christina with my ball of fluff. I highly recommend her…in fact I am going to re-book for my next trip right now!!!”

“Kienna made us feel good about trusting her to take care of our kitty while we were out of town. Her communication was great, and she was prompt to respond to questions. She gave our cat the love and attention he needed. We will not hesitate to have her sit for us again.”

“I've had the pleasure of being able to book with Mira all summer long. She is the best! She has taken such good care of my cat and goes above and beyond with her responsiveness and kindness.

About: I have cared for and loved pets since I was child. I have taken care of various sized dogs and kitties. I have years of experience taking care of all types animals as I grew up on a farm. I have taken care of special needs animals who require medications and special diets. I have an affinity for animals and often have many dogs and cats that are nervous and anxious find comfort in my company. I have experience house sitting and people find my trustworthy. I’m looking forward to meeting you and caring for your fur babies. Thank you for considering me and reading my profile. I own my own business and control my own schedule. Therefore, I am flexible to fit your needs. I am available daily for pet sitting and or dog walking. I am a detail oriented person who can easily follow instructions from pet parents. I am available for staying overnight if that is something that is requested.

“Thank you for looking after my girl. Great as always!”

“Celeste is hands down the best pet sitter we ever had. We were so worried because we had an unexpected trip come up and were scrambling to find help with our pets. Celeste stepped up and helped us in our time of need. She went above and beyond to show us our pets were loved and well taken care of. I cannot sing her praises enough 💛💛💛”

Rebecca S.

“Great communication, asks questions & gives updates, and most important - dog likes her :)”

“Michael is a great pet sitter, took excellent care of my cats!”

Jillian K.

“Candace loved on my kitties. That was so important for them while I was gone. I can't thank her enough for the care and the great photos. You know your cat is comfortable with someone when they twitch the end of their tail in a still photo. They got lots of play time. I would love to have her visit my cats again when I have to leave town without them. I recommend Candace.”

“Heaven is just wonderful! When we did our meet and greet, I found that she had read both of my big dogs' profiles. She asked relevant questions about each dog's health and medical needs. She came wearing a small bell so that my blind dog would know where she was--so smart and thoughtful! Upon successive drop in visits, she made sure to follow all directions, gave each dog individual attention and belly rubs (which they loved!) and also made sure they had a backyard visit. She sent pictures and notes following each visit. It is very obvious that Heaven has dog experience and takes their care seriously. I am looking forward to using her services in the future and feel very happy to have found her!”

About: If there's anything that I can brighten my day, it's seeing a happy dog! Since I was young I have always had a soft heart for all animals. I believe in the ethical treatment of animals, and I will advocate for them however I can. I have cared for many dogs of my own over the years, as well as for others. Your fur babies will get as much love as I give my own. Caring for animals has always brought me a deep sense of comfort and joy. I especially enjoy supporting senior pets or those who need a little extra attention, patience, and care. I recently lost my beloved dog of 15 years to cutaneous lymphoma, which required attentive, around-the-clock care, including carefully timed medications and a thoughtfully managed diet tailored to his health needs. He was truly a member of my family, and his loss has left a significant space in my life—one of the reasons I’ve chosen to join Rover. I’m very attentive, protective, and detail-oriented when it comes to an animal’s well-being. My experience has also led me to learn extensively about canine health, particularly cancer prevention and supportive care. Caring for animals is important to me, as I know completely how worrisome it can be to give your baby to someone else and hope they get the same love and care. I have always been very cautious with my pets in any situation and this is one of the reasons I joined Rover. I understand the nervousness of giving someone else the responsibility of your beloved pet, and if I can be that relief to someone else then I would love to! The attention, detail, and care I put into them reflects my fees. Since my dog has passed, I truly miss the simple joys of daily walks and spending time outside with a dog, and I look forward to providing loving, reliable care for yours. I currently work on a project basis and have full availability, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care, walks, and play. I don’t have other pets, so your dog will receive my full attention and care. I’m home most of the day, providing a calm and consistent environment. I also enjoy taking walks, especially when visiting family in the Four Hills area, which offers great opportunities for outdoor time. I do go to the gym regularly, but I’m typically only away for about an hour, ensuring your pet is never left alone for extended periods. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or a client’s home. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs so I can keep their experience as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and follow all care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to medications and any special requests. I’m attentive to details, keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior, and provide regular updates so you feel informed and at ease while you’re away. I have also been accepted as an APS substitute teacher, so I have passed an extensive background check. Along with dog sitting, my background also includes a professional career in the film industry, teaching English in Spain with families, and caring for a farm in Hawaii. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, secure environment with plenty of supervision, comfort, and affection. I ensure pets have a safe space to relax, access to fresh water, and appropriate exercise and enrichment based on their energy level and needs. Safety is always my top priority. I’m mindful during walks (leash safety, surroundings, avoiding hazards), and I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for senior or higher-needs pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care.

“Absolutely amazing! I would recommend Becky to anyone looking for a Petsitter. She did a wonderful job watching my cats and reptiles while I was away for the holiday. She was available on short notice, her prices cannot be beat, and most of all she went above and beyond to provide my animals with the highest level of care. I will be rebooking her again!”

“Savannah is awesome, when I go on my business trips I’m completely put at ease knowing she has everything covered, thanks, you’re truly the best!”

“Laurie was great with our dog. She was very attentive and made sure to keep us informed of everything that was going on during her visit visits. I would definitely use her again. Our dog is very timid and scared and she did everything she could to make sure he was comfortable while we were gone.”
