Cat Sitting in Riverdale

“Cher was a great sitter! She texted during each drop-in visit to let me know how Matcha was. I would highly recommend Cher to anyone using Rover.”

About: Pet sitting was my first job ! I always watched other people’s dogs before I had dogs of my own ! I have 3 rescue dogs in my home now , who have all been through training and are great with other animals ! I work from home full-time . I barely ever have to leave the home , and if I do I have several kennels and comfort items for your dog to enjoy while I may have to step out I have a big fenced in yard ! Plenty of space for your dog to run and play with my dogs . I also have 4 large crates if the dog ever needs crated to have space away from the other dogs or simply just needs to decompress. Depending on the dogs needs , I will adjust accordingly.

“Rain was absolutely amazing! Followed instructions, was there every day that we asked and kept us updated on our cat and dog. Definitely recommend!!”

“Kumar was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! I was especially nervous about leaving because one of them, Relic, is a formerly feral girl who’s very shy with new people. (Beezle, my other cat, is a social butterfly—toss him a treat and he’s instantly your best friend.) But Kumar handled Relic’s quirks with so much patience and care. He came by twice a day, sent me photos and videos every visit, and never hesitated to check in if he had questions. His communication was fantastic, and he totally put my mind at ease. If I need a sitter again, I’ll be crossing my fingers that Kumar’s available—he did an amazing job, and I’m so grateful!”

About: I am not your typical pet-sitter. I have spent my entire life caring for all types of animals. My first job was at a pet store learning the skills of working with animals and their people. After college I worked as a zookeeper where I cared for everything from mealworms all the way to rhinos. Specialized care was the name of the game there and I was able to recognize the smallest details on how to improve my work with exotics. Then I was led into the world of shelter work. Where I studied pet behavior and early signs of stress and how enrichment can help save lives. Many animals coming into the shelter would need some form of medication as well. I have a skillset of administering medications and making sure the animals actually receive their meds. Lastly, I was a dog training apprentice. I was able to form bonds with dogs that most people wouldn't come near. I can read body language well and know how to show dogs respect. I aim to be your go-to pet-sitter where you can actually enjoy your trip. I will make your pet my priority. I have an excellent ability to find balance in my schedule. You can trust that your pet is cared for how you want them to be. I have quite a few pets in my home and all are well cared for. I will offer the same care to the animals you care for. I will ask for detailed instructions and follow your schedule as closely as I can.

“We loved Lily! She was so personable and took very good care of our little Lucy. She sent cute pictures and was very communicative. We're very picky on who watches her just because she's 15 and very hard of hearing. But Lily did not make us worry one bit that Lucy was in good hands. I will not hesitate to contact her again!”

“Maddie is wonderful with my dogs. Have used her twice and have scheduled two more in near future. Thank you Maddie.”

About: What sets me apart is my deep, lifelong connection with animals. I’ve raised cats and dogs in my home for over 15 years, giving me real-world experience that goes beyond basic pet care. I understand their needs, personalities, and how to make them feel safe and loved. I treat every pet like family, offering reliable, personalized care that gives pet parents true peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life—I’m home often, with a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I’ve raised animals in my home for over 15 years, so caring for pets is part of my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just quiet company, I truly enjoy every moment spent with animals. Pet care isn’t a chore for me—it’s something I love and make time for every day. I care for animals in my home as if they were my own—providing a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s my home or the client’s, I focus on creating a routine that meets each pet’s unique needs—feeding, playtime, walks, or just companionship. With years of hands-on experience, I know how to make pets feel at ease, even in new surroundings. Their happiness and well-being are always my top priority.

“Michelle was great. She was responsive and asked great questions when it came to care for our cats. She made sure to cater to specific needs, and sent cut photos to let us know everything was okay. Would definitely recommend.”

About: My name is Sammie, I have been involved in animal welfare for 5 years (shelter jobs/rescue) and have worked with all kinds of temperaments and have done some training/fostering and dog bathing/medical care! I love all animals and don't mind excited dogs jumping all over me. I have 3 medium/large dogs of my own, and a cat. I have experience with all kinds of species though! I am currently unemployed so my schedule is very flexible! Willing to negotiate prices. Feel free to ask any questions! I look forward to meeting your fur babies! Thanks! Working in shelters and fostering animals made animal care something that I am very serious and passionate about so spending the majority of my day caring for animals is something I am very comfortable and confident doing. It usually varies on the specific pet. I make sure to have owners leave me a feeding instructions and a list of their expectations for their pets care along with rules I’m expected to follow.

“William did a terrific job taking care of my Dicksie D when I was away for many hours yesterday. She was happy and comfortable with him. Plan to call upon him when I need someone again to care for her. Happy they enjoyed my Irish music together.”

About: I've always loved dogs of all sizes! I have been dog sitting for neighbors and friends and family for over 10 years! I have experience with senior dogs and puppies too! I'm currently in college at Central Michigan University and only take classes during the weekdays, so I'm available for weekends and evenings with dogs and am able to devote a lot of time outside of my classes to those fur babies. I regularly walked my dog everyday and even ran with him. I not only take good care of my home, by providing a clean and safe environment for dogs, but also for myself and I do the same for clients! I'm a big fan of going outside to play, run, and walk!

About: I have always had dogs and cats in my life, from training my own dogs to dog/cat sitting for family and friends, I have more experience with big dog breeds rather than little but I am comfortable in my ability to care for all types of dogs and cats. My family has raised puppies multiple times and I have assisted in caring for and training them. I am currently unemployed but I have recently enrolled into a bachelor’s degree program completly online for a degree in animal health and behavior, I am 19 and I graduated high school last year. My days are pretty much completly open to being able to help people with their pets Currently I am unable to bring other people’s pets into my home because we have three large dogs that aren’t the best when it comes to other animals, but me and my boyfriend are working on renovating a polebarn into a apartment for me and him and we plan on completly fencing the area in for when we eventually get dogs of our own.

“Excellent communication and very friendly. She got in and did the job, sent me a cute picture and my dog was happy! Will def. Book again.”
