Cat Sitting Reading

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, I am naturally quiet and calm so dogs especially are very comfortable around me. I’ve cared for dogs, cats and horses while their humans were away for 40 plus years and I am reliable and thoughtful with every visit. I’m retired and spend most days gardening with my dogs so I’m very flexible. It’s easy for me to make time to add pet care to my schedule. I care for my clients pets per their direction and request adding in lots of kindness and praise. I arrive on time ready to engage with them.

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, bearded dragons, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, etc. I look forward to caring for your pet and treating them like my own! I’m working part time at the moment and have flexible hours, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet on a schedule that works for you! I make sure to keep the dog’s schedule as typical as possible and I listen to any instructions that the owner may have for me.

“Maureen was great with our two big dogs. She followed the special feeding instructions, was punctual and walked our dogs in spite of the heat. We will definitely be booking again”

“Megan is an amazing sitter who took great care of my special needs dog when I had to leave town for work. She gave him his insulin without any issues and gave me great notes on how the visit went. She went above and beyond in every visit and she is at the top of my list for future needs. She really kept my heart at ease when I couldn’t be home and made me feel good about leaving him in her care.”

About: I’ve been around and loving animals my whole life. I have had my dog Copper since I was a puppy and as he has gotten older I have learned how to care for older senior dogs and the responsibility that comes with that. My more recent pup, Buckley, I got a couple years ago. I trained and raised her myself so I also have experience with puppy care as well. While pursuing my undergraduate degree I volunteered at an Animal Shelter as a pet adoption counselor and dog walker, so I have lots of experience with a wide variety of breeds and pet safety. I currently have a 2 year old cat named Cleo that I am the sole caretaker for, and have a lot of experience cat sitting as well. As a first-year Doctor of Physical Therapy student at UC, I spend a lot of time at my desk studying and would love a furry study buddy! My class schedule fluctuates week-to-week between 9 AM and 4 PM, so I am generally unavailable for midday check-ins during the week (unless you live right next to campus). However, my evenings and weekends are completely wide open and dedicated to pet care. I love going for long walks to clear my head after class and am more than willing to house-sit and spend the night. Your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship when I am off campus! With my background as a dog walker and shelter adoption counselor, I am fully trained in pet safety, reading animal body language, handling worst-case scenarios, and administering medications. Because I have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs, I easily adapt to whatever level of care and attention your pet requires, making sure they get at least one good walk a day or a fun weekend trip to a local park or hike. I am also passionate about feline enrichment and love setting up daily toy rotations or interactive puzzles to keep cats mentally stimulated and happy. To ensure your pet stays completely comfortable in their own routine and to keep my own cat happy at home, I exclusively provide care in your home and am more than happy to house-sit and spend the night so your furry family member gets plenty of evening cuddles, consistent companionship, and the best care possible!

About: I’m a big animal lover and have had pets in my life for as long as I can remember. My first job in high school was working at Best Friends Pet Care, where I cared for both dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments throughout my entire high school career. That experience taught me how to safely handle, feed, exercise, and care for many different types of pets. While I was in college, I continued gaining experience by working at Red Dog Pet Resort during school breaks when I came home. In addition to that, I now do pet sitting on the side and have cared for up to nine animals at once (five dogs and four cats), all with unique personalities and needs. I also grew up with two dogs and two cats of my own, who have since passed away. Having pets my whole life has made my love for animals even stronger, and I understand how important they are as members of the family. I always strive to provide safe, attentive, and loving care for every pet I look after. I work full time Monday through Thursday and am usually off around 4:30 PM on those days. I also have a hybrid schedule, so I work from home a lot of the time, which gives me additional flexibility for pet care visits during the day when my schedule allows. During the week, I’m typically available for evening visits and walks, and from Friday through Sunday I’m off, which allows me to be much more flexible and available for daytime visits, walks, and check-ins. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my main goal is to keep them relaxed, safe, and content in the place they know best. I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—whether that includes meals at certain times, walks, playtime, or simply quiet companionship. I also ensure water bowls are kept fresh, litter boxes or potty areas stay clean, and your pet receives plenty of care and attention while you’re away.

“Daniel is fantastic with my adopted pit! He has even helped teach him some basic commands and tricks! Daniel loves dogs and it definitely shows!”

“Siri was a delight to work with. Her own introduction here on Rover is just the beginning. Over a long holiday, Siri’s plan, approach, visits, support for both our cat and dog, communications, consistency, and follow up were impeccable. She put our minds at ease and earned our trust. I’m happy to say that we found someone that we can count on.”

“Jessalyn is just the best. She’s consistant, she’s flexible, she’s kind and caring, and she absolutely goes above and beyond every time! I am and will continue to be a repeat customer for sure.”

Katherine K.

“We had Monica let our dog out a couple times while we were gone for an overnight. She was great! We didn't have a chance to meet before hand as it was a last minute request but I was able to leave a key and instructions. She was great with our dog, filled his food and water, let him out, took him for a little walk, and even sent us a photo/updates. Would definitely recommend her if you need someone to care for your dog!”

Stephanie R.

“Amika was great with my dog Blue. She gave him lots of attention. She was very informative regarding her schedule and it gave me peace of mind.”

“Every time I have Meranda watch my kitties she sends so many pictures which I love so much! She’s so careful and her attention to detail and updates are so appreciated when I’m away from my girls.”

About: Hi! We're Charlotte and Leslie, your favorite Queer Aunties. Our boys are Otis and Auggie and they can't wait to meet you and your pet! Otis is the Friendliest Friend Who Ever Friended -- he's a 68-pound pittie mix who has never known a stranger. He is great about matching energy with his doggo friends and responds well to communication from other dogs. We joke that his energy level is along the lines of being a sprinter, not a marathoner, but if your pet is a marathoner he will do his very best to keep up. As long has he gets to take a nap afterward, LOL! Auggie loves to run in the back yard with his friends and play tug with them. He's also a pittie mix spends his time either solar charging in the yard or napping near his humans. We've learned that he sometimes needs slow introductions to new friends and is perfectly content to spend time in his crate to decompress when needed. I've owned dogs since I was a teenager and have added cats to my household in the past few years. We have experience with special needs dogs and cats - we like to learn what their needs are so that we can set them (and us!) up for success. We're accustomed to giving medication, syringe feeding, monitoring behaviors, etc. We both work from home and are able to play with your pet and let them out for potty breaks multiple times a day. If left home alone, it would be for no more than 2-3 hours at a time. Your pet will be loved and spoiled as if it were our own. We allow our pets on the furniture and have multiple cat trees and dog beds around the house. We have a large fenced-in back yard for the pups to run and play in. Otis also has a couple of friends in the neighborhood that we may introduce your pet to for a group playdate. Your pet is sure to have a fun time no matter what!

“Maria did an excellent job taking care of my dog. I will definitely book her again.”
