Cat Sitting Rubidoux

“Kimberly is the greatest pet sitter on earth I believe. She has actually made my cats sweeter and more cuddly. I love that I don't worry at all about them knowing she is taking care of them as I have to travel a great deal. One of my cats even had a major surgery and I came back home to her and she was better than ever. Best best sitter ever.”

“Gwen was wonderful with our three pups! Great communication, considerate, thoughtful, caring, and even brought them some extra goodies. We look forward to booking again in the future :)”

“Quetzaly has been wonderful with our pets. She first sat for our cat, Gemini, and we felt like she took such great care of her that we never had to worry while we were away. Because of that great experience, we thought she would be a great sitter for our 5-month-old puppy, Sesame. My partner was out of town for the weekend and I was working nights that week, so we needed someone to watch Sesame, and Quetzaly was available on short notice. We’re so happy we booked with her—Sesame clearly had a great time! Quetzaly followed all of our instructions carefully and took great care of our girl. She kept us updated with pictures and the Rover card, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We never had to worry about Sesame while we were away. We would absolutely love to have her sit for us again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their fur babies.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 12. I grew up with cats and love their personalities. I have one kitty now, his name is Ricky. I first provided dog/house-sitting services for my professor in college for about 5 days where I fed, played and walked her lovely Border Collie. I began to cat sitting/drop ins for my brother and sister-in-law two years ago while they were away on vacation in the summer and have been doing it since. I am happy to care for both cats and doggos alike. I work a full time job, but can provide drop in services in the evenings for your pets while you’re away or make arrangements to cat/dog sit in your home. I am also available weekends! My availability will reflect on the calendar. I abide by your house rules and preferences when house sitting your pet in your home. If your pet gets anxious with new people around, I think it’s always best to have me meet them with you before you leave. I am happy to provide daily updates and send you photos. If there is any doubt about your pets needs, I’ll be sure to communicate those with you directly.

“Hillary was very patient with Cooper. He was a little timid and Hillary took the time to make sure Cooper got comfortable and went outside to pee. Thank you Hillary!!!”

About: I have grown up taking care of dogs, turtles, and tortoises all my life. I would also watch over birds and pigeons that belonged to my grandma and uncle. I had cared for a friend’s cat and my neighbor’s cat. I currently have dogs, turtles, tortoises, chickens, and ducks. I currently am a full-time student and looking to take care of more furry babies. I will do the best I can to make sure they get the care they need! I make sure to have engaging toys and enough space for my dogs to run and laze around. I keep watch on my tortoises and turtles since they are currently hibernating. I provide a kiddie pool for my ducks to enjoy baths. I have a coop for my chickens and ducks to sleep in.

“Thank you Megan! Bolt loves seeing you and we are so thankful for you! Even on such short notice, you’re always so quick to respond and we have such peace of mind! You’re the best!”

About: Through volunteering at an animal shelter, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many kinds of dogs. From senior dogs to puppies! All of which I am capable of caring for. I’m currently a full time student at RCC, I major in music so I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate any of my clients demands. I will play with your pets and give them unconditional love and affection. They will receive a walk and a free treat. If there are special needs or requests, I ask you to let me know.

About: I have taken care of pets for neighbors and friends for years. I am experienced in giving animals medicine and love to take care of animals in need. I have volunteered at a wildlife rescue for years and have taken care of possums, squirrels, cats and all kinds of birds. I have experience with young cats and senior dogs and I am not afraid to get messy because that’s what animals do. I cannot walk dogs very well due to having hip problems but I can assure you your furry friend will be taken care of as if they are my own. I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to care for my pets. I wake up around 6:30am every morning to let my chickens out of the coop so they can free roam through my backyard. I feed my starling, cockatiel and pigeon each separate diets. My cats eat dry food in the morning and wet food at night. My chickens go back in the coop at 6pm and I collect all the eggs they laid that day. The chickens get treats like blueberries and feeder fish throughout the day. I do not clip my birds wings so they are free to fly around the house and my cats are friendly to them. My yard is fenced off for my chickens to free roam during the day and I have 2 friendly cats that live in my backyard that catch rats and mice but are friendly to birds.

About: I’m a dedicated dog mom with hands-on experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I have 2+ years of experience with puppies, including potty training, basic routines, and helping them adjust to new environments. I also have 3+ years of experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medication and providing gentle, attentive care. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet like my own. Pet care naturally fits into my routine because I’ve always been a dog mom. I currently have a dog of my own, so daily care, walks, and attention are already part of my lifestyle. I have a consistent schedule and make time each day to ensure pets get the care, exercise, and attention they need. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure all pets are fed on schedule, have constant access to fresh water, and are always supervised in a safe environment. During walks, I stay attentive to surroundings and your pet’s behavior to ensure they feel secure and get the right amount of exercise. I follow any specific instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, or special care needs. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment.

“This was my first time using Rover and I found Zapphora. She set up a meet and greet. She was on-time and my cat took to her right away. Zap is very personable and easy to talk to. She communicated with me for each visit. I had her come 2 times a day for 4 days. My Kitty is my baby, I felt so comfortable knowing that Zap would be checking on her. I am thankful for Rover connecting me to her. I will definitely ask for her for any future travels. Thank you Zap!”

“Eli was great! I needed someone to come by daily to feed my fur babies while I was on vacation & her response time was quick. She was right on time each day to feed my dogs & cat, she spent extra time with them giving them some love & she even picked up after them! Eli was very sweet, caring & professional & I would highly recommend her.”

About: I already love your furbabies, we just haven't met yet! ❤️❤️❤️ Many people call me a "Dog Whisperer," and while I don’t claim the title, animals respond to my calm, intuitive presence. I bring emotional attunement, patience, and loving structure to every visit. Whether your baby is playful, shy, or needs extra TLC, I honor their unique personality. Pet sitting is more than a side gig; it’s a healing, heart-centered exchange. I offer sacred companion care that gives your pet peace and you peace of mind. I'm a Certified Self-Love Coach with a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize your pet’s care with presence and ease. I structure my day around the needs of the animals in my care. Whether it’s early mornings, midday walks, or calm overnight stays, I make space for them to feel safe, seen, and loved. While sitting, I read, reflect, or study, but their comfort always comes first. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where their routines, scents, and surroundings bring them calm. I ask detailed questions ahead of time (walk schedule, feeding preferences, medication, etc.) and follow your instructions to the letter. My care style is clean, respectful, and rooted in trust. I adapt to each animal's rhythm and always check in if something feels off. Your home is your sanctuary, and I treat it with the same care I give to your pet.

About: I’ve cared for animals ranging from baby bunnies to horses, so I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. While in college, I helped care for a stranger’s baby bunny for multiple nights on many occasions, making sure it stayed healthy, comfortable, and properly cared for. I also have experience around horses, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is to stay calm and attentive with animals. Because of that background, caring for dogs and cats feels very natural to me. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleaning up, and giving pets lots of attention so they feel safe while you’re away. I’ve also been dog-sitting for relatives since I was a child, so being around pets and helping care for them has always been a normal part of my life. I genuinely enjoy bonding with animals and making sure they’re not just watched, but actually cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine as a college student because I currently have a flexible schedule and a good amount of free time outside of classes and studying. I’m able to consistently make time for feeding, walks or playtime, cleaning, and giving attention to pets throughout the day. Having open availability also allows me to adapt to unexpected needs and stay dependable with daily care responsibilities. When I pet sit, I make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific routines the pet is used to. I pay attention to the pet’s behavior and comfort level to help them feel relaxed while their owner is away. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure by keeping doors and gates closed, removing anything unsafe, and maintaining a calm environment for the pet.

About: I’ve taken care of family’s pets for almost 3 years! I’m currently also a vet tech student and I have worked in vet clinics and volunteered at the animal shelter so have tons of experience with animals and pet care! I have a very flexible work schedule that also allows me to be available on weekends so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with pets! I will ensure feeding, play time, and lots of love when caring for pets. I will care for them based on their routine and how they feel most comfortable!

About: I have two cats of my own and have helped care for both family dogs and friends’ cats over the years. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, litter box cleaning, and giving lots of love and attention! Pets tend to warm up to me quickly, and I always make sure they feel safe and cared for. I also have plenty of photos of the pets I’ve cared for to show the happy moments we’ve shared. I’m a college student currently studying biochemistry with a strong love for both cats and dogs. Pet care brings me joy, and with summer here, I’m only in school part-time. This gives me the flexibility to care for your pets Thursday through Sunday. I’m dedicated, dependable, and excited to give your pets the attention and affection they deserve. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely and respect your space. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, medication, and preferred activities. While I don’t have dogs of my own, I have two friendly cats and a clean, pet-safe space. Whether in your home or mine, your pet will be treated like family.

About: For most of my childhood, I never was allowed to have a pet, despite being so eager to have one. However, I did know many friends and families who had dogs and cats, whom I would visit frequently. I would help feed them, walk them, play with them, give them gentle petting when they were receptive, etc. As a teenager I moved around a lot with my single mother and my younger sister, so I got to live with a few different pet owners: One of my adult roommates had an old senior Shih Tzu. The sweet girl had poor vision and moved slowly, but I did my best to help my roommate and handled her dog with care everyday. Another woman I lived with had two cats; the male was affectionate and friendly, and the female was the feisty and shy one. I approached both very differently, aware of their boundaries, and formed a sweet bond with both :) Then my mother’s friend, who had a bunny! I learned a lot about how to give them healthy and fulfilling lives. Bunnies are very high maintenance, yet admittedly my favorite animal to care for. It’s why I actually ended up having a pet rabbit to spend every day with when I lived with my grandmother for years. I’m now living in a faraway town and unable to see my sweet bunny as often, but I’m most experienced in rabbit care and grooming!! All in all, I get along with most animals, and I find animals of all types just precious, even during the more lackluster aspects of having them. I understand each pet is their own individual with unique needs and I will always be attuned to that. I feed crows and pigeons (not around other animals though), I photograph insects and reptiles… yes, I just love animals and living creatures. I have plenty of money saved, but currently no income coming in because I don’t have a job. This is a way I am trying to make money to continue to save up for life expenses. As a result, I am literally free whenever, haha! I have no defined schedule whatsoever, but I do have routines and a list of hobbies I’d love to pursue in my journal. I get up early in the morning to walk around my neighborhood usually, and I do the same during sunset. The rest of the day depends; sometimes I read non-fiction, other times I head to Lake Evans, or see a live music performance at a cafè. I also dedicate some entire days to activism and fundraisers, so if I’m unavailable to care for a pet I will simply be upfront about that! I have a two story house, and it’s quite spacious! For rabbits or other animals that need an extra danger-proof house, the floors are almost completely free of things that pose any danger (such as sharp objects or accessible wires), and can be blocked off when there are visitors. The house has a mix of smooth wooden and carpeted flooring. I have three roommates, but only one is consistently staying in the house, and spends most time outside of the house. She has expressed permission to allow an animal every once in a while, she is trustworthy, and I would never leave an animal around any other human being unsupervised. The house also has a spacious backyard with high fencing and grass. The neighborhood itself is fantastic for dog walking! There’s a walkway with trees, flower bushes, small fields of grass, and it’s a hotspot for hummingbirds haha.

About: Hi! I am a dog-loving college student who would love to help you out by walking your doggies! As a dog owner, I know how important it is to find the right care for your fur-baby which is why I want to give your pet everything they'll ever need! I have been a pet owner my whole life and I have experience with doggies of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I have experience with elderly dogs, puppies, and high energy dogs (I have two terriers at home). I also have experience with adopted shelter dogs who may have troubled pasts. I know that they can be nervous/anxious around outsiders/strangers, but I am very patient and gentle and could accommodate your dog if this is the case. I am very empathetic and patient and believe all animals should be given proper care! With that being said, I would love to assist you with your pet needs!
