Cat Sitting Pala

“It was a pleasure having Linda babysit our kitties. She was very kind with them, and considerate of their needs. They are not very social with strangers, and Linda was very considerate of that. It was very comforting to know they were in good hands while we were on vacation. It made our vacation that much more enjoyable.”

About: I have taken care of cats since I was about 10 years old and dogs since I was about 13. Shortly after I moved out I adopted puppy then a kitten. It was definitely fun training my own puppy. I am currently a stay at home mom who also homeschools my kids. Our dogs are taken out for walks during the day and night. We love playing and cuddling with our cats and dogs throughout our school day. We crate our dogs when we are not home. If your pet is needed to be in a crate when you are not home, I can ensure that will happen.

About: I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. We ADORE all animals! Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a huge heart and could not live without animals in my life. I am very active and look forward to the opportunity to walk, play and love on your pets! For the past 40+ years I have owned, fostered and cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, horses and more. I recently lost my Great Dane after a decade of getting to love him. He had DCM since he was a puppy so I have extensive knowledge of caring for that, giant breed needs and know how to track and administer many medications. Being a stay at home mom I've often thought about walking and caring for other animals while they're humans are away at work or vacay! I recently discovered Rover and know this is a perfect fit for me! I am very patient and have experience with all areas of pet care from walking to medication dosing and everything in between! I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a very large, completely fenced in yard with a locked gate. We are taking a break from pet ownership and would love to open our home to care for your animals. I have experience caring for dogs and other household pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, long or shorter walks, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements to ensure your pet feels happy and secure.

About: I am currently a veterinary assistant student, taking care of your animals will give me the opportunity to be able to expand my school experience and give you confidence in me and my capabilities when it comes to taking care of your pets. I am currently a student, my class schedule is Monday-Thursday therefore i am not able to do overnight stays during the week. Friday-Sunday i am completely free and will be able to take care and put my full attention to your pets. I will be available to do drop ins and walks during the week anytime before 5pm. I know how to work well with animals and give them the time they need, i will work to gain the pets and owner’s trust. I know how to handle animals if they are misbehaving and need to be put in a time out if anything of the sorts were to happen.

“Gabby was punctual, checked on food and water, scraped the litter box daily. She was very sweet with our kitty and spent time playing with her.”

About: I fortunately was born into a household that loves all kinds of animals from fish to dogs to rodents. I have developed consistent routine skills just from the responsibility that is given when owning a pet. I have been a designated pet sitter for friends ensuring that their pets just as healthy and happy as they are with their owner! I’m patient and integral to instructions making sure each pet gets proper care. I’m especially good at training dogs, both puppies and adults. Pet care-taking has taught me fundamental values that I carry with me today! I’m currently a college student at Cal State University of San Marcos and commute back and forth. I am currently unemployed so my hours are very flexible and I am very available. My pets are primarily indoor pets and are usually hanging out on the furniture, however, I let them out my fenced backyard frequently for potty breaks or if they need to let out energy to play. During these times I make sure to an eye on them until they come back inside. I take them on walks every other day consistently in the morning. During feeding time, I ensure each pet is separated during and take any necessary precautions to prevent food aggression. I am attentive to any aggressive/bad behavior and know how to respond accordingly. On the other hand, I always make sure to reward good behavior with lots of love and treats. For cats, I am a clean freak and make sure the empty box is always empty. Overall, I provide protective but intentional care with all pets!

“She was amazing and treated my pets with so much care. I have one energetic dog and she was great with him!”

About: I am an all around animal lover. I grew up in Hawaii with a connection with all animals and have a deep connection and respect for wildlife and nature. I have lived in Colorado, Tennessee, and now California. I have two large breed rescues of my own and have lots of experience with all size dogs, cats, birds, and exotic pets. I am extremely comfortable with medication administration, reactivity, heavy pullers, training reinforcements, situational awareness, animal body language, and animal welfare. I am available for drop in visits, walks, overnight stays, and any animal needs. I am currently a full time student and dog dad with time in between my dogs routine to help other fur babies through their day. I am a responsible and trustworthy animal friend who understands the importance of following through with individualized care to ensure furry friends and their owners are protected and supported in their day to day.

“Nick was on time and did a great job with my cats. Looking forward to using Nick’s services again in the future.”

About: I have 2 dogs of my own and have always loved animals and work this them all the time. I also work for a friend who does fostering for cats. I also have the wag! App and use it as well, you can find me on there and book a service through there too. I’m currently a full time student at MSJC but have a few days off so I am willing to pick up some work on the days I have free and work with furry friends. I have a fenced off yard with 2 friendly dogs, I have a pool in the backyard that is regularly cleaned (not very deep and easy to get out of for most dogs) I have chickens but they are in a cage so no contact can be made. I do have neighbors with dogs but the fence is secure and no one can touch each other. In addition I have 5 cats who all love dogs (might be scared but not mean).

“Mimi went above and beyond caring for my sweet, super senior girl. She is very experienced and knowledgeable and noticed right away when something was off with my baby. She took her straight to the vet and her quick actions have given my baby the best chance to recover from a sudden medical emergency. She kept me updated on everything. She continues to check in and is just so sweet. I could not recommend Mimi enough!”

“Thank you for taking care of Zoey! She is a tough cat but you were able to deal and get through. Lucas showed on time and followed instructions thoroughly. Was a easy process and he is very trusting. Was a pleasure meeting you Lucas!”

“Paris was perfect with our 6-mo. old kitty Musya. We left Musya for 8 days and were getting regular updates and pictures on her stay. Would definitely use Paris again!”

About: Hi, I’m Aaliyah! I have loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets taught me very early on that every animal has a unique personality and specific needs. I know how important it is to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away. Because I currently work part-time, my schedule is incredibly flexible! This means I have plenty of open daytime hours, flexible breaks, and open days to dedicate entirely to your pups and pets! I strictly follow familiar daily routines, maintain open communication with regular photo updates, and treat the client's home with the utmost cleanliness and respect so everyone feels completely at ease! :)

About: I've been pet sitting since college, 9 years now and I love it more than ever :) I work remotely so I have plenty of time to spend at home to keep pets company! I had my own senior rescue cat for several years before she crossed the rainbow bridge, and I grew up with two rescue dogs (rescues, mixed breed) and one dog on our ranch (a Great Pyrenees)! I also grew up with horses, cows, goats, chickens and rabbits so I'm an animal lover! I love when pets like to be close to you during the day and sleep with you at night, but I respect pets who want more independence or are nervous around strangers as well :) I work remotely so I am home most of the time to them company and take them to the bathroom. I usually walk for about an hour in the early morning and an hour in the late evening, so dogs will have lots of walks! You know your home and your pet best, so I will follow all rules you set and ask about anything I'm not sure of.

About: So many dog walkers and sitters, how do you choose? I have been a dog trainer and handler for over 11 years. I am certified pet first aid and CPR. Through my hard work and attention to detail I've earned the trust of working with canine support teams, trainer Shawn Baxendale out of Los Angeles and two prominent rescues Wylder's and Lucky Puppy. I have your dogs well being at heart. I am highly responsible and reliable in caring for your family pet. If you like we can schedule a meet and greet so that you can get a feel for who I am and also see that your pet would be staying in a safe and clean environment. My purpose is safety, comfort and fun I work from home so I am available to play with your pups and provide any care that is needed for your beloved family pets. I have a fenced in yard with nice green grass and two pups to help me keep your doggies company. I have toys and balls to engage your pet so they get some exercise and if allowed I take them for walks. My main objective is always safety but I also make sure your pup feels comfortable and loved. I give your pet a home away from home experience. This is not a loud and crowded facility where your dogs will sit by the gate in anticipation of your return and or have to wait for a place to rest or some attention. I also do have crates available if needed.
