Cat Sitting in Ostrander

“Barbara did a great job with our cat Hal. They have their own routine and Hal loves her visits. There were some difficult travel days due to fog, drizzle, snow etc and Barbara made it to our country house. She did plan ahead and gave Hal extra food in case it got really bad. We appreciate having someone we can depend on!”

“Thanks again for taking great care of Luna & Marci! Travis has been watching my dogs for years before he joined the Rover platform and my dogs always love to see him. Glad he made the move to Rover - just makes it even better having booking, payment, communication all in one convenient app.”

“Hannah was able to come over on short notice to watch our puppy. She sent a video of him having fun outside to give us peice mind. She went above and beyond and stayed with him for extra time, as well as leaving our space clean and tidy. We would recommend Hannah 😊”

I’m deeply passionate about animal welfare and have worked in a variety of roles including groomer, doggy daycare attendant, veterinary assistant, and dog trainer.

I’m always happy to coordinate with each client to find visit times that work well for both of us, so your pet receives consistent, thoughtful care and attention. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on maintaining a familiar, low-stress environment where your pet feels safe and secure. I provide attentive care tailored to their routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and any specific needs they may have. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality so I can offer care that feels comforting and consistent while you’re away.

“This sitter was great! She was there every scheduled sitting to take care of and feed our kitties. She did great with our grouchy old cat who doesn't like anyone. That should say something. I hope they will work with us again in the future when we need to go somewhere. It's great knowing you can count on someone to be there for your fur-babies.”

“Such great service! The dogs loved her and we were so relaxed on our short trip knowing they were taken care of and happy!”

About: I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals. Growing up, I walked dogs for the Humane Society and was raised with two wonderful dogs of my own. Now, as a childcare teacher, I spend much of my free time dog-sitting for friends and family. Just as I extend love, patience, and fun to the children I teach, I bring that same care and dedication to every dog I look after, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work four days a week as a dedicated childcare teacher, and from Friday to Sunday, I have the flexibility to care for and shower furry friends with love and attention. With my experience in both child and pet care, I bring patience, reliability, and a nurturing touch to every pet I look after, ensuring they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I spent five years as a nanny, caring not only for children but also for the family dogs, ensuring they received the love, attention, and care they needed. This experience strengthened my ability to be responsible, dependable, and attentive to both children and pets. With a fun-loving nature and a deep sense of care, I create a safe and nurturing environment where both kids and furry companions feel happy and well cared for.

About: I've been taking care of dogs on my own since middle school. We've always had a family dog in the household as well as friends and neighbors who would need help with their little ones. I have a BS in Animal Science, have worked as an emergency vet assistant/triage tech for the last 3 years, and have some professional dog training experience. I currently have 2 guinea pigs, and a 2-year-old AND 1-year-old pitty/lab mix that love to come to work with me and go on all sorts of outdoor adventures! Needless to say, my life revolves around animals and I don't know what the world would be like without them! I would love to get to know your little one and be there for them (and you!) when needed! Good communication and planning helps me arrange my schedule and make myself available for your needs. I often have days off during the week so I can spend time with our furry friends while their families are at work. Having worked in an emergency pet hospital keeps me on my toes and I always put safety first. When it comes to walking outside, I double check collar/harness every time to ensure a secure yet comfortable fit that can't be slipped out of. I also know dog body language and signs of illness to monitor and keep people and pets safe!
