Cat Sitting Palmer

“We can tell our cats are comfortable with Rebeccah since they do some thing of the same things with her as with us. Our house smelled good when we got home so we know she’s keeping up on it all for us too.”

Amber W.

“Crystal did an amazing job taking care of our two cats! She did a spectacular job cleaning the litter boxes and making sure the food and water was replenished every visit. Crystal communicated really well with us each visit and sent photos. I will be sure to have Crystal help us out in the future!”

Samantha L.

“We are very dedicated to ensuring our cats are well cared for, and Jasmine did a great job with drop-in visits! Frequent communication, great pictures, and open to asking for clarification when needed. Even our cat who's anxious with strangers seemed to settle into a comfortable routine. +++”

About: Special Education Teacher with a love of animals. Patient, kind, understanding, flexible. Originally from Chicago, from cats, to squirrels, to dogs, to hummingbirds, to bunnies, to bearded dragons, I have the heart for sending animals in need to a rescue center, and/or homing. Animals deserve love and care, no matter their personality. I strive to respect you as a pet parent and your baby, following owner directions and askings. Just like my students, I treat every animal as if they are my own. Safety is my top priority, as well as communication and transparency. Currently open for the Thanksgiving week and weekend because of being a teacher. After Dec 1 I will be available before 6:30am, evenings, and weekends. I have a degree in general and special education and am very patient with animals and like to know everything the owner can tell me, and respect the animal. Having an antisocial pet with trauma, I respect her and love her as much as my others because she deserves it. I am very careful and take care of animals as if they were my own, just like I do with the children in my classroom.

“April was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Mable! We only asked her to stop by once a day, but she went above and beyond every single visit. She spent extra time with Mable, stayed to keep her company, and was so kind and attentive. She even surprised Mable with a few new toys to play with while we were away, which was such an incredibly thoughtful gesture that she absolutely didn’t have to do. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mable was not only being cared for but genuinely loved while we were gone. We could tell April truly cares about the pets she watches, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Ashley did a fantastic job watching over our two cats! Couldn’t recommend her enough! Definitely go with Ashley if you need someone to watch your fur babies! Thank you so much, Ashley! 🙏”

“I needed care for our cat unexpectedly over Labor Day weekend and Megan not only quickly responded to the request but was flexible when booking. She showed up and sent the best pictures and thorough update. She made it really easy and gave us peace of mind. Thanks!”

Angela M.

“Timothy is very prompt, patient, and thorough with his drop in visits. Showed up on time and made sure to hit all his items on the punch list I gave him. My dog can be very excitable and he was very patient with her. I was very worried about leaving my babygirl with a stranger and he put all my worries at ease. I will definitely be using Timothy in the future.”

About: I’m an adult who is passionate about providing dependable, loving care for animals of all ages while their owners are away. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets who may need extra patience, attention, slower walks, medication routines, or simply more companionship. I respect each pet’s individual personality and routine and want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their animals and home are in caring, responsible hands. My pet-care schedule is flexible and built around my clients’ needs. I intentionally plan my week around bookings, allowing me to accommodate daytime visits, walks, overnight stays, weekends, and extended care. I enjoy making pet care a priority rather than trying to squeeze it into a busy schedule. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable with their familiar surroundings and routine. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions and give each pet the individual attention they need. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home, with communication and updates while you’re away.

“I’m so glad I found Shanie to take care of my cats while I was away for over two months. She’s reliable, caring, and always made sure I felt at ease with plenty of photo updates. I could tell my cats were happy and comfortable with her. I’d highly recommend Shanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

About: Grew up having a dog (or 2 at times…as well as bunnies…and some other reptiles!). I currently live in an accommodation where I am not able to have a pet and I have become to miss animals more and more! There is no such thing as a bad animal, only a poorly trained one, and I treat them all with love and care. I’m available every Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day (and night)! My schedule can be as free as needed on those days and I am open to spending lots of time with your pets to make sure they get the best care possible! I am very careful and thoughtful around pets and other people’s property. I will treat your belongings and animals with the utmost respect and care.

About: 🐾 Professional Dog Walker & Trainer | 14+ Years Animal Experience Hi! I’m Antonia, and animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve been working with animals since I was 10 years old, and that passion has grown into 14+ years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine and animal care. I’m a compassionate, responsible, outgoing, and dependable person who truly believes every dog deserves patience, understanding, exercise, structure, and lots of love. I don’t just see your dog as a client — I treat every dog I work with like family. ❤️ 🐶 Dog Training Experience I have 3+ years of hands-on dog training experience and have worked with dogs with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and behavioral challenges. I have experience working on: * Basic obedience and manners * Leash training and loose-leash walking * Puppy training * Socialization * Jumping, pulling, and unwanted behaviors * Reactivity * Fear and confidence building * Behavior challenges and aggression I’m also continuing my education to become a professional dog trainer, because I truly love learning about canine behavior and finding ways to help dogs and their owners build a better relationship. My approach is centered around patience, consistency, communication, and positive reinforcement. Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand what works best for each individual dog. 🦮 Dog Walking I have 11+ years of experience walking and caring for dogs, along with my extensive veterinary background. I understand that a walk is about more than simply getting your dog from point A to point B. I want your dog to come home feeling happy, exercised, mentally stimulated, and confident. Whether your pup needs a structured walk, extra exercise, help with leash manners, or simply some one-on-one attention during the day, I’m here to help! I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to dog walking and training throughout the day. ❤️ Why Choose Me? With my background in veterinary medicine, animal behavior, dog training, and years of hands-on experience, I’m comfortable working with dogs of many different ages, breeds, energy levels, and personalities. Most importantly, I genuinely LOVE what I do. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in experienced and caring hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾 Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to learn about your dog, their personality, their routine, and what you’re hoping to accomplish through walking or training! I work from home so i have tons of time during the day to go for dog walks or drop in visits and give cuddles and love. I constantly giving my dogs & cats love and talking to them if they are a real person. I get on the floor and play with toys, ball, any kind of stimulation.

About: Hi, I’m Ruth & thanks for checking out my profile! ​If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets with the same love and attention they're used to then you’ve come to the right place. Having previously hosted dogs in my home, my goal has always been to provide a true “home away from home” experience. Now, I bring that exact same touch right to your doorstep through drop ins and dog walks. My kids are now school age, so I have open availability during school hours for mid day walks and drop in visits! I can easily fit your babies routine into my daily schedule for reliable care while you are at work or away. I prioritize pet safety and peace of mind by following your home's rules and care instructions. During drop ins and walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, double check that doors and gates are locked and make sure fresh water is always available. I pay close attention to pet body language to ensure they are comfortable and happy throughout my visit.

“Leanne was great with our 2 cats. I was able to text her while I was away, & that allowed me to enjoy my trip more because I knew the cats were being taken care of. The cats really loved her; our shy one came right up to her! She even gave them treats & brought in our mail. Great job!!”

Karen J.

“She was extremely kind and patient with the dogs! Our dog had a few accidents but she was super nice and understanding and cleaned it up for us! We would recommend her!”

“Hannah was amazing! This was my first time hiring a sitter off Rover and naturally I was a bit nervous to do so but when I came across her profile and saw how much experience she has with all kinds of animals, I knew my kitties would be taken great care of! She was always available and dropped in every day to give me updates and pictures. I would 1000% hire her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a 5 star sitter! Your babies will get the best care in Hannah's hands! :)”
