Pet Sitting Old Town

“Shannon was great! She was able to accommodate my drop in request with short notice and made sure that all my requests were met. She sent videos of my kitten and communicated with me regarding when she entered my home and when she left. I would recommend her to people looking for drop-in sitting and I will definitely use her services again!”

About: I am working a part time job right now so your pet will be my priority. I have grown up and taken care of pets (mostly dogs) my entire life. I have been dog sitting for friends and family since I was in middle school. I love animals and love being around them whether it is at a park, laying around the house or going on walks Im currently working part time. I have plenty of time for walks and to hang out with your pets. No need to worry about schedules as well as I am free to follow any schedule your pet needs I can spend time with your dog at a park or just hanging around the house. If you need someone to watch the dog during the day or at night I can do that as well.

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have earned a reputation among friends and family as the “cat whisperer.” I have a knack for connecting with cats of every temperament, from outgoing cuddle bugs to shy, fearful, independent, or extra-spicy cats who take a little more patience to win over. I have extensive experience with kittens, seniors, fostering, medications, special care routines, and challenging or defensive cats. I’m great at reading feline body language, respecting boundaries, and letting each cat decide how quickly we become friends. My own formerly-feral barn cats went from aggressive and completely standoffish to affectionate angel-babies who come running for attention; one of my proudest accomplishments! I also understand that trusting someone with your pet often means trusting them with your home. I’m a homeowner myself, and I take that responsibility seriously. My mom raised me to always leave a space better than I found it, and that’s something I still live by. I’m respectful of people’s privacy, belongings, and personal space, and I’ll treat your home with the same care I’d want someone to show mine. Cats are genuinely my specialty. Whether yours needs cuddles, playtime, medication, patience, or simply someone who understands when to leave them alone, I’ll meet them exactly where they are and make sure both you and your cat feel comfortable while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care rather than trying to squeeze visits into a small window. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, feeding, medication, playtime, and plenty of quality time with your cat. I also understand that cats are creatures of habit, so I’m happy to stick as closely as possible to their normal routine and preferred schedule while you’re away. Safety and trust come first for me; both of your cat’s and your home’s. I follow each cat’s established routine closely, double-check doors and entry points, keep food, water, and litter areas clean, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall demeanor. As the owner of two formerly-feral barn cats, I’m especially aware of escape risks and how quickly a nervous or curious cat can make a break for it! I’m comfortable with shy, defensive, or unpredictable cats and never force interaction. I let them set the pace and work to earn their trust. When staying in or visiting someone’s home, I treat it as carefully as I would my own. I respect your privacy and belongings, keep things tidy, and follow any household instructions you leave. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, relaxed cat and a home that looks just as good, or better, than when you left it.

“Ginny was AWESOME! Lisa cat is not especially social, but Ginny managed to engage with her during our nine days away and sent lots of fun pics. The house was well cared for and mail and packages picked up daily. I hope to use Ginny every time we travel!!”

“It was such peace of mind to know that our kitties were in the capable hands of Donny. It is always great to have a Rover sitter that you trust who takes great care of the family's furry monsters while away. Will definitely be a repeat booker!”

About: I have had dogs in my family ever since I could remember. As an adult, I have had my own dogs for the last five years - Star and Popsicle are my world! I am comfortable walking two dogs at a time, administering medicines, and if there is anything else your pet may need, I have probably handled it myself before. I have cared for other people's pets on and off for years as well and have handled many situations with ease. I currently have a very flexible, open schedule that can accommodate any specific walk times or potty breaks. I can assist any time of day, any day of the week. Hello! Trusting me with your beloved pet means that they will be taken care of with all the love and attention that I give my own two dogs. I am patient, attentive, and kind in my care, and I genuinely love being around any pets! From feeding to enriching walks, I want to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you are away.

I’m comfortable with everything from energetic play and exercise to giving dogs patience, attention, and a calm environment when they need it. I genuinely love working with animals and will treat your pet like they’re my own. I currently work part-time Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 12:30 PM, so I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for pet care. I’m happy to work around your schedule and make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I treat every pet like a member of my own family.

“Stephanie was great with our dogs. We forgot to leave our leashes outside for her to walk the dogs and she was able to bring the leashes that she had over to walk them while we were away. I would recommend her and will use her again.”

I feel Rover gives me the freedom to make some new fur friends while I continue to study.

I am also a very active person. My husband and I love to go for a walks the only thing that makes my daily walking better is having a furry companion accompany us.

“I am so happy that I was able to book Sarah to take care of my baby while I was gone. It was the first time that I left him for a prolonged amount of time and having her watch over him let me enjoy my time away without worrying. Most importantly, my baby had a good time with her. Will definitely be asking her to help when the time comes again. Thank you Sarah! ♡︎”

“It was my first time using Rover and Kevin really made it a great experience! He went above and beyond to make sure my cats were taken care of and sent us report cards, photos, and videos after each visit to let us know how it went. Very professional and our minds were at ease even while we were away thanks to him!”

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have always been surrounded by animals. Before having my own children, I had two dogs of my own who were a huge part of my life. I absolutely love animals and believe they deserve kindness, patience, attention, playtime, and a lot of love. I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply making them feel safe and comfortable, I truly enjoy giving pets the care and attention they deserve. I’m available Monday - Friday after 3:00pm and available on some weekends. I do like to travel, so sometimes I’ll be busy. If you need weekend care, please don’t hesitate to reach out and inquire if my schedule doesn’t reflect those specific dates. I currently no longer have any pets in my home, which is why I am extending the extra time I do have, to share my care with others who need it. I would love to earn yours and your pets trust for any type of time or care your pet may need.

“Ashley was able to take care of our 3 cats last minute. She was quick to respond and super nice. She made sure the cats had everything they needed for the weekend and sent updates with pictures. We’d definitely book with her again!”
