Cat Sitting Rio

“What a relief to not have to worry about my precious kitties when I’m away! Rachel is a knowledgeable cat sitter. She is professional and responsible. She always interacts with my kitties, including with my surly cat Rory! She is unperturbed by his bad attitude!”

About: My family has always had animals around pets and always had friends with dogs and cats. Since I was 14 have been taking care of family pet and pets of friends when they go out of town. Well, I’m currently working a full-time job looking for some extra cash and I have some free time on my hands so anytime after 4:30 would be most ideal I’m an attentive pet owner with daily experience caring for my own 4-year-old cat. I offer cat-only boarding in a cozy, feline-friendly home stocked with plenty of scratchers and extra litter boxes. For dogs and other animals, I offer drop-in visits and house sitting in your home. I am exceptionally detailed when it comes to strict feeding routines, specialized diets, and daily grooming.

“Jessica did great her first time with my cat and bunny. Her communication is impeccable and she gave them their full half hour. I couldn’t even tell I’d been gone when I got home— no messes to clean and the boys were content. I will be booking Jessica in the future for sure! 😻”

I have a full time job that I work Monday-Thursday 8-6:30PM. Im currently available Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Holidays vary since I may be out of town I have two cats myself so ensuring a safe, clean environment is number 1 on my list.

About: Hello! My name is Avalon ! Since I can remember Ive owned cats and dogs. My current animals ranging from a 13 year old senior, to a fresh 1 year old frenchie ! Im aware and very cautious with allergies as mine have many . I’ve always loved all animals like they were my own, enjoying every moment of cuddles and play. Im currently part time and new to the Florida area which leaves me with extra time to care for not only my own pets but yours as well ! With a dog friendly car, trips for a walk in the park for new scenery won’t be an issue or local walks around the neighborhood. As I meet new fur friends and family’s I like to do a walking check in all yards to ensure the safety of the pets as they go out to explore . You never know what could come up or what could be found better safe than sorry! Keeping a close eye is my specialty as I treat all animals as my own. I follow careful instructions as you know your pet best !

About: I have over 15 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, including my own as well as dogs for friends, family, and clients. I have primarily worked with small to medium sized dogs, but I also have experience caring for larger breeds. I have cared for dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs, including my own dog who lived to be 17. I am especially comfortable caring for senior dogs. I have experience administering medications as needed, and I understand how important patience, consistency, and routine are for older dogs. I am very reliable when it comes to following schedules for meals, walks, medications, and daily care. Communication is very important to me, and I know how reassuring updates can be for pet parents. I am happy to send regular messages and photos during visits or stays if you would like, so you can feel confident and at ease while you are away. Whether I am house sitting, stopping by for drop in visits, or taking dogs on walks, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that means playing, walking, or simply providing companionship. I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Please see my cat care bio for more information about my experience caring for cats as well. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I am currently available full-time, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling and give pets the time and attention they deserve. I am able to plan my days around feedings, walks, drop-in visits, and companionship, and I prioritize being present and attentive during each visit or stay. I have experience managing pet care alongside remote work, so I am comfortable staying in the home and maintaining routines while ensuring pets are never left without proper care or attention. My schedule allows me to be reliable, responsive, and consistent, whether a pet needs regular walks, multiple daily visits, or overnight care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on safety, consistency, and respect for both the pet and the space. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, and any household guidelines. I make sure pets are always secure during walks and visits and keep doors, gates, and leashes properly checked. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, comfort level, and any special needs, especially for senior pets. I maintain a calm and familiar environment by sticking to their usual routine and providing companionship, playtime, and attention at their pace. I also treat my client’s home with care and respect. I keep the space clean and tidy, handle litter boxes and feeding areas responsibly, and make sure everything is left as it was found. I communicate regularly with pet parents and provide updates and photos so they can feel confident that their pet and home are in good hands.

“Megan is a kind considerate care giver. Highly articulate and professional. She was able to become quick friends with our very shy cat and truth be told our cat was probably a bit sad when we returned and Megan didn’t visit. I highly recommend and trust Megan.”
