Cat Sitting in Rough and Ready

“Sonya is a star! 🌟 I am so happy with her care and support of my fur babies. She was punctual, attentive and so warm and loving of my kitties. All directions were followed purrfectly, and she even brought a brushy glove of her own to love up on my cats with. I am super super pleased and will definitely be looking to request her to help us again in the future. I highly recommend Sonya for reliable, caring and loving pet services!! You will not be disappointed! 🐾🐈‍⬛💟💯☮️🐈🐾”

About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I have a big fenced yard with both grass and forest to run and play. I don’t have multiple dogs staying with me at one time ( unless discussed in advance) so your baby will get all the attention. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.

“Brandy is fantastic at giving my cats the care and attention they need. She is very communicative and takes adorable photos of the animals so I know they're in great hands.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life and currently have a senior dog and hairless cat. Both of these have given me experience in animals with special requirement. I love giving specialized care to people’s special pets Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine with my own pets and its something I enjoy and find to be peaceful and fun I provide a safe and comfortable environment for all pets and understand that it’s important to ensure pets are calm and content. I follow routines and can handle special needs gently. And I’m a firm believer in open communication to build trust and ensure peace of mind

About: Everyday I care for over thirty livestock animals alongside my mother and our dog, Dottie. I have also grown up my whole life with and around dogs. From animals as young as birth, I am able to help in caring for all different types of furry friends! I'm currently working full-time, but my work schedule is fairly easy to work around. I am able be with your animal until about noon, making enough time for a walk and some play time, and be back around early evening, just in time for dinner and another walk. I also have two days completely free for them! If needed, I am able to provide a safe, fenced in space for your animal at my own residence. There is a good amount of land for them to run around and get out their zoomies.

“Our favorite kitty-sitter is back and active. Another great trip with Paola taking care of our elderly kitty. It’s so reassuring that she’s in good hands.”

About: I took impeccable care of my English Mastiff for over 10 years. More recently I have found joy in pet sitting for other people's dogs and cats in their homes. I work remotely and have a lot of scheduling flexibility, especially on weekdays. I'm available to stay in your home with your pet during weekdays. My other work (accounting/finance & admin) is done remotely anywhere I have reliable WiFi. My availability on weekends is very limited. I provide a calm, steady energy and will stay with your pet(s) in your home so they can remain in a familiar environment. I love taking dogs on walks.

About: I was born and raised in the country, caring for all types of animals, including dogs as small as chihuahuas and as large as 200 pound mastiffs (my beloved childhood pet Chloe) I also owned horses, rabbits, cats, goats, hamsters, birds, etc. I started my pet sitting experience growing up by house sitting for days at a time. I currently am a stay at home mama along with dog mom to our senior but friendly and active dachshund named Sherman! Pictured in my profile is Sherman (black dachshund) Zoe (our beloved dapple dachshund who sadly passed away) my horse fancy, and our fun bunnies Stella, pumpkin, and cocoa. Because of my schedule of being a stay at home parent, I’m primarily home majority of the time, which makes for the perfect opportunity to care for your beloved family member. Because I am home, ideally your pup can be with us makings themselves right at home, whether they want to snuggle up on the couch, to playing with our pup Sherman, to enjoying our fully fenced in backyard in town, to taking walks around the block. And depending on the in home dog sitting schedule, I can also make trips to your house to water plants, checking in on your other critters, from small animals to farm animals needing daily feedings and check ins.

“Cydney was immensely supportive. When I booked, my cat was healthy. When the time came, Cleo needed way more care. Cydney stepped up and covered everything like a professional. I'll have her back.”

“Natalie did a great job of taking care of my 3 pups and kitties while I was away for the weekend. She was very caring and communicative, and clearly loves animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

Kristen R.

“Absolutely great! First time we’ve had a cat sitter and now we feel like we can travel again because Jordan took such good care of Bugsy. He even sent us videos of our kitty!”

“Amy is amazing. Great communication. So sweet and caring. I appreciate how much time she spent with my cat. She left my house spotless. Highly recommend.”

“Majesty was extremely responsive and a great resource for an admittedly last minute request for a pop in to let our dogs out while we were at a Christmas party. I felt that our house instructions were read and acknowledged thoroughly, and majesty was communicative and reliable about showing up on time. We’ll definitely hire majesty again.”

“Marsha was great with our cats. I would definitely feel comfortable having her check on them and feed them again in the future.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 14, starting with horses and gradually expanding to dogs and cats. In recent years, I’ve mainly focused on house sitting and pet care. I’m comfortable handling a range of behavioral challenges, including pets who tend to run off or show signs of aggression. I also have experience with dogs that require strict health routines, such as medications, special diets, and regular care schedules. I aim to create a calm, safe environment for every pet I care for—and treat each one with the same attention and love I’d give my own. I’m based in Oroville and work full time (never earlier than 8am and no later than 6:30pm), but am available for pet sitting any day of the week! I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays for walking, feeding, and giving your pets the attention they deserve. Whether you need a quick check-in or some extra company! I am deeply attentive to the unique needs of every pet in my care, always striving to meet and exceed the expectations of their owners. Each animal is treated with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own pets. My passion for animals runs deep—so much so that I’m currently studying to become a veterinary technician to further my ability to provide the highest standard of care. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior cat, I ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after.

About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life—everything from Pomeranians and Shih Tzus to Rottweilers and Great Pyrenees—and I’m a cat person, too! I’m now based in Nevada City with my Shih Tzu, Radio, and would love to continue building connections in the community. I work remotely for a professional pet sitting company in Nashville, TN, where I also serve as the Event Manager for Rescue Puppy Yoga. Previously, I was part of the team at The Farmer’s Dog, where I gained extensive knowledge about canine health and nutrition. While my primary role is administrative and remote, I regularly provide dog walking and pet sitting services in Nashville as well. I’m Pet CPR certified and hold multiple FetchFind certifications. I’ve been working in the pet industry for as long as I can remember, starting as a dog walker and pet sitter in my early teens. Over the years, I’ve built my client base through both word of mouth and professional pet care companies, gaining well-rounded experience and a deep commitment to quality care. Pet care is all I do! My small dog Radio just has to fit into that routine as well if house sitting. I have 24/7 availability unless I am booked. I’m available to care for your pet for as much as you need given the scope of each service. While highly unlikely, the longest I would allow a pet to be alone is 4 hours when pet sitting.

“Mindy took good care of my kitty for a week recently. Good communication during my trip. I will definitely rebook with her. Very reliable and nice to work with. Recommend!”

About: I grew up with animals- dogs, cats, fish and even a bird! I have experience with small, medium and large dogs, and extra specialty with working breeds like Australian Shepherds. I have done puppy and senior care, and am confident with 2 or more animals at a time. At the moment I have open availability! Excited to take your pups on walks during the day, or hang out together at night. I am interested in house stays as well as daily walks, with some options to board at my home. I love to go on trail walks around town, including your animal in all my daily little tasks, and talking to them like they understand me (and they do). I am a big fan of play and will definitely be throwing toys around for them to chase, or taking to a dog park to get their wiggles out. My animals are my family and I will treat your loved ones just the same!

“Kellie always checks in regularly with thorough updates. She took extra care with looking after my garden in the heat. On both occasions that I have hired Kellie, she has left my house exactly as she found it (maybe even cleaner).”
