Top rated Ruston cat sitters
“Juli took care of our two kitties for a week while we were out of state. Words cannot describe how loving and caring she was with both of them and the report cards that she sent were amazing and detailed. It really helped seeing our kitties every day being taken care of and shown love. Both of our kids warmed up to Juli and had a blast playing with her. I truly would recommend Julie to anyone else seeking for their pet to be taken care of. It was our first time using Rover for drop-ins for consecutive days. Thank you Juli for everything ❤️.”
“We are so grateful for Erica’s wonderful and kind care for our kitty. This morning the kitty was waiting at the door for Erica to visit, high praise because the cat is usually very shy. We highly recommend Erica!”
“Jensine is the first pet sitter that completed and documented the tasks I requested her to do. She was accommodating with changing her hours so I could have a time card, was professional, responsible, consistent, and I felt that my cat was in professional care. I recommend her services highly”
“Adria did a wonderful job looking after my cat when I was away! She went above and beyond to get to know my pet and his behaviors to make sure he was comfortable during a stressful time of being away from his human. I would definitely recommend Adria to anyone looking for a thoughtful caregiver for their fur baby!”
“Alyssa is wonderful – not only a veterinary professional and cat mom but is super nice, very communicative, and took the time to really hang out and play with my kitties. I hope she's available for the next time and the time after that!”
“Emily was attentive and caring for our cat while we were away. She stayed in contact and let us know of any issues right away. She is responsible and very friendly and we would not hesitate to recommend her.”
“Tobi is an awesome sitter! She dealt with our sassy cat and an automatic feeder mishap while we were away. She was able to adjust to make sure our cat was still fed and happy!”
“Alyssa was so considerate, consistent and communicative throughout the process and I couldn’t recommend her enough! My cats loved her and were instantly comfortable with her”
“Riga was AMAZING! She came to watch our golden retriever for us last minute when our normal sitter fell through. She sent a picture update, took our dog on a walk, and she even did the dishes. You could tell she gave our pup a lot of attention because usually when we get home shes very excited and a little crazy, but when we got home she greeted us and seemed very content and almost like she didnt even notice we were gone! 5 stars for Riga, we will for sure use you again if we get the chance!”
“Left out of town for the weekend and had to find a kitten sitter for my Chulo. I am so glad I found Kyle’s profile. He was very communicative with updates. I truly felt Chulo was given such great care. Will definitely book with him in the future!”
About: Friendly and genuine dog lover 🐾 I have experience taking care of dogs and cats for ~15 years, for friends, family, neighbors, etc. You can rest assured that I’ll give your dog tons of love and affection, and go above and beyond to make them as happy as can be. I’m super flexible- I run my own business and set my own schedule so squeezing in dog walks and dog sitting throughout the week is easy as long as you reach out a little bit in advance. I’ll do whatever is needed to make your dog safe and happy, and make sure nothing is accessible for them that they shouldn't be consuming or playing with. I know the importance of keeping certain dogs active which is why long walks and play time is something I'll always incorporate. Will send photos and videos of your dog throughout our time together to reassure you that they are in great hands and that there is no shortage of love and affection during our time together. :)
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 7. Two pug sisters named Maggie and Ginger. I adopted my first dog, a 5-year-old boxer named Lucy. She was special needs, experiencing a myriad of health issues including cardiomyopathy, food allergies, and incontinence. I worked with her to create a life of joy and comfort. My goal was for her ailments to be the furthest thing from her mind. We did nose training together, played hide n seek in the house because long walks winded her, and she became a certified therapy dog because bringing people comfort energized her! Lucy was an accomplished dog, never hindered by her sickness. After she passed, and after my mourning period (she was my soul-dog, after all) I began volunteering at local shelters. I've done 1000s of walks, enrichment training, and would bring dogs out on outings and events to help get them adopted. Now, I would love to help you with your dog(s), whether that's checking in, walking, or just hanging out. I treat dogs like family because they are. My mom calls her two dogs my hairy sisters! I currently do freelance social media work for local animal rescues, so my schedule is very flexible as far as being able to accommodate pet care. I appreciate a checklist! You provide a checklist or any sort of direction, however brief or long, that will guide my way through what needs to be done. I treat your home like I want mine to be treated, leaving it in the same condition I found it in. I was taught to be clean, respectful, and polite. I will tidy up if necessary, I will stick to whatever you ask of me, and if anything is unclear, I will communicate with you as appropriate. My goal is to build a good relationship with you and your pet(s) to ensure my visits are an easy part of your routine.

I fully trust her with my own high energy Toy Australian Shepherd and playful cat. She handles them both with patience, fun, and genuine affection. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Katie is the one!”
