Cat Sitting Murdock

“This was a last minute trip, but you came through! I was always feel so good when I go away because I know my two kitties will be in good hands while I’m away!! Thank you so much for your help even with the super late notice!”

“This is the 2nd time we ask Jordan to take care of our cat. We are out for 3 weeks and I was very nervous about leaving the cat alone. Jordan is a fantastic sitter she took such great care of our cat and he loves to hangout with her! She even came over to check on him on the day we didn’t schedule a visit, she is so sweet! I would definitely work with Jordan again in the future.”

“If you're new to the area and kmhappen to see that Karla is available, you'll probably have the instinct to hire her. Just snag her help while you can! I have two kitties-my babies, of course, and leaving for an entire week wasn't easy. (Another app that is based around cat sitting didn't have a fraction of the sitters, so I was glad to find someone just as happy to cat sit.) I know she's great with them- especially since I was able to see lots of amazing pics of them after every visit. The shy one sat and let her scratch his neck within a couple days, so... yeah if you're a cat person, you know that's legit lol. I know your dogs would be in great hands, too! The litter areas were immaculate and everything was topped off. She even cleaned up the one "stomach incident," which I said not to worry about before leaving! (We discussed all the possible diet quirks and everything else imaginable prior to the trip.) We couldn't have gone anywhere this long without Karla, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again if she's available!!”

About: I work full time during the week, but can be available some early mornings before work and most evenings after work. My weekends are usually free and so my schedule can be flexible. All cats are unique in what they require and what they enjoy. I will be sure to discuss these details with cat parents to ensure I provide their pets with a trusting and comfortable environment.

About: I've spent more than 26 years sharing my home and heart with five wonderful cats, and I've also had the pleasure of caring for my neighbors' feline family members when they're away. Cats seem to love me, and the feeling is definitely mutual! One thing I've learned over the years is that every cat has a personality all their own. Some are outgoing social butterflies who greet you at the door, while others are shy, timid observers who need time to decide whether you're worthy of their affection. I enjoy getting to know each cat, understanding their individual personalities, and earning their trust on their own terms. I also have a special fondness for senior kitties. I understand that older cats may need a gentler touch, a slower pace, and a little extra patience and attention. And did I mention my specialty? Excellent "rump ruffles"! I've perfected the art over the years, although I always let the cat decide whether they're in the mood! I'm equally happy providing chin scratches, brushing, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship. I have some experience administering medications and am happy to discuss your cat's specific needs to determine whether they're within my experience and comfort level. As a longtime cat parent, I understand that cats aren't just pets—they're family. I treat every cat in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. My goal is simple: happy, comfortable cats and pet parents who have peace of mind knowing their feline family members are in loving hands. Every day of the week, I make client visits in the morning and also during the late afternoon/evening depending on my calendar and client needs. I currently work from home on weekdays with a flexible schedule. I know how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable in their own homes, especially when their people are away. I do my best to keep their normal routines consistent and make my visits a pleasant part of their day. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, litter-box care, and any special needs or preferences. I'm also careful about doors and potential escape routes, and I'll treat your home with the same respect I'd want someone to show mine. I pay attention to how your cat is behaving, whether they're eating normally, and how they seem to be feeling. If I notice anything unusual or concerning, I'll let you know promptly. After taking care of the essentials, I enjoy spending the remaining time with your cat. Some kitties want to play or cuddle, while others are happiest just having someone sit quietly nearby. I'm comfortable with shy, timid, and older cats, and I let them decide how much interaction they're ready for. Of course, I'm always happy to provide a few rump ruffles for those who enjoy them! I'll also send you a photo and a brief update each day so you can see how your kitty is doing while you're away. Having cared for my own cats for more than 26 years, I understand how much they mean to us. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your cat is being looked after by someone who genuinely enjoys their company and cares about their well-being.

“Julie is fantastic! We feel so lucky that we found her to stay with our two kitties while we were out of town for several weeks. Not only did she bond with our cats and take great care of them, she also prevented a potential flea infestation in our house! We strongly recommend!”

“Jennifer is the best. She went above and beyond to help arrange some last minute and additional care when we had a concern about our cats. She wasn’t even scheduled but jumped right in to help us. We appreciate her so much. And she is also great with our kitties and they love her!”

Ann U.

“Was responsible. Had some personal issues twice and couldn’t come. But made me aware of that. And I was fine since my cats can be unattended for a day or two. But she sent me videos and pictures. Cleaned up any cat mess. Kept everything neat and clean.”

About: Hi there! Ive worked the last 3 years at Petco taking care of a lot of companion animals! I have had dogs, taken care of others dogs, and I currently have 3 cats at home! I started pet sitting for a couple of people about a year ago and want to see if there are more opportunities here! I’m also a pre-med student going into my last year of college and just started working as a patient care assistant! For the summer I will be working a full time job and 2 overnight shifts a week at the hospital. During the fall semester I am hoping to mainly work at the hospital and focus on my classes and pet sitting! Taking care of your pets in their own environment is key to comfort and making sure they feel safe even when you’re out of town. Every animal has their quirks or preference to make them feel happy, safe, and loved. (Even if I have to pretend to 5 star cook their kibble, or spoon feed them their wet food). I do also have experience working with sick animals from hamsters to dogs!

“We can't recommend Lauren highly enough! She has taken care of our pets each year while we're on vacation, and every time, we come home to happy, healthy, and well-cared-for fur babies. Our cats absolutely adore her! Lauren goes above and beyond to ensure our pets are loved and cared for in our absence, and her updates always put our minds at ease. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Lauren is the one to call. We're so grateful for her kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my parents believed that helping care for pets was an important way to build responsibility, so animals have always been a part of my life, and I’ve truly never gone without having a pet in my home. Over the years, I’ve gained experience helping care for animals of all ages and needs, including temporary foster pets, senior pets, and pets with special needs. I’m comfortable supporting animals who require medications, extra patience, mobility accommodations, and individualized routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level, and I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, quiet companionship, or needs a little extra support, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’m an occupational therapist at a nursing home in Cincinnati! My work schedule is flexible for me as I need to be. I don’t work weekends! I live in a house with a fully fenced in backyard with a wooden privacy fence. My dog is crated anytime I’m not home! My cat roams free and mostly naps!

About: New to Rover, NOT new to cat sitting! I’ve been caring for cats ever since I was a little girl! Growing up, my family rescued numerous cats, so I’ve had experience with all kinds of personalities, from playful and outgoing to shy and independent. I now have two cats of my own here in Cincinnati, and they are my absolute world! As a cat mom myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind while traveling. I want to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in loving hands! I also have experience administering small pills to cats. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them space to feel comfortable, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own! I currently work a corporate 9-5 job that is fully remote, so I can really make the schedule around my plans for that day to give all the love to your pets! When caring for pets in a home, my goal is to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while sticking to their normal routine! I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and plenty of attention. Whether your cat loves playtime and cuddles or prefers their own space, I’m happy to adjust to their personality and needs. I also understand how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I’m always happy to send pictures and updates! I’ll treat your pets and home with the same love, care, and respect I would my own.

“Jessica was attentive, sincere, and happy to engage our cat above and beyond our expectations. We had just laid out for her to feed and make sure he got his pill, but she also spent time socializing, playing, and even cleaned out the cat box without us asking her to. We thought he loved us, until we saw the photos she sent from her visits. She won him over and surely made our absence more bearable for him. 11/10 will contact again next time we need a cat sitter!”

About: I am a huge animal lover! I have 10+ years of paid experience pet-sitting, house-sitting, and babysitting! I have been a regular sitter for all types of breeds, ages, and behaviors. I have regular experience with pit bulls, chihuahuas, Great Pyrenees, Great Danes, puppies & seniors! I have recently moved to Cincinnati and looking to build a new client base! I love walks, play time, & cuddles! I have experience in light training, medication, and socialization skills. During drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, I will gladly help with any additional training needed. I always provide updates and photos, and can ensure you will receive prompt and detailed responses. I am currently working part-time, and my schedule is very open and flexible. With being new to Cincinnati, my goal is to find regular clients in need of a dog-sitter & walker, as well as helping out those who are needing a one-time or occasional helper. I have lots of reliable & trusted references that show my level of honesty, respect of privacy, and cleanliness for client home sitting. I am punctual, detail-oriented, and ready to work with the routine you and your pet have.

About: I’ve grown up with many dog personalities, and have worked with reactive dogs. I used to work at a dog daycare & understand everyone has their own unique needs. Just moved to bend & looking for a nurse job, working Rover until then! I have weekdays & weekends available but will be out of town for memorial weekend. I’m happy to take your doggo on a hike with me if that’s okay with you! Or to the dog park or elsewhere! Just let me know what you need

“Callie was great with communication and solved a problem with a food mixup to make sure our dogs were taken care of. She is definitely someone I recommend for drop in support. Thanks Callie!”
