Cat Sitting Saint Bernard

“Wolf took exceptional care of my two kitties and provided thorough updates that kept me at ease during my travels. I will definitely reach out again in the future!”

Caity V.

“I have an aggressive dog (and then 3 others lol) and Jessalyn was absolutely amazing with them! She was here for two nights and when we got home the please looked better than when we left! She did an outstanding job, she communicated very very well. We will be asking her back!”

Katie B.

“Olivia is great! She communicated very well before and during our trip. She made sure to give both our cats some cuddles and play time and sent pictures of course. She left the house in great shape even better than most. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our babies while we were gone.”

Cynthia M.

“Tabby is absolutely wonderful. My pups and kitty had a lovely time with her. I could tell they were really comfortable while I was gone. She has watched them multiple times at this point and I will definitely be booking her for services again whenever I am headed out of town.”

Paige R.

“I am repeated client with Melissa and I really trust her with my beloved cat Oakley! She truly spends time with him and gives him much needed attention while we are away! Thank you!”

“Nina did an outstanding job taking care of our bunny. She was very attentive and prompt with messages/updates. She made our first experience with Rover an excellent one, and we will definitely seek her help again in the future.”

About: Early 40’s year old sitter/walker with car. You could say I have 40+ years of experience. My family had a German Shepherd from before I was born and I was very close to her. There has been a stream of pets in my family. Including so so so many cats in NYC. Even going so far as to “rescue” a half feral one. Currently, I share ownership of a dog. As a small business owner of over 10 years, I am able to have a flexible schedule and spend more time hanging out with your pet(s). That said, I have a lot of experience managing other people, and I do have high expectations for clear communication from clients. I have never had a complaint from clients that already have human children. I am very clear about the kind of care I offer. For example, I clearly state I can do 4-8 hrs for letting out. That does not mean that when I get to the sit, you tell me you expect every hour. I also do not cancel other bookings so that you can be the sole client. I have been through that, obliged, and the client was still dissatisfied. I am running a business and the new owner of this app runs on harsh algorithms that hide you in search. Let’s try to be better and more human, than conforming to private equity and their bottom line. For the fur babies, I can follow their diet and pet or play or brush their hair. As long as you give me a list or schedule, I'll do my best to provide it. I have extensive experience with pets at all stages of life. (As well as other kinds of pets which I am open to caring for.) I understand the care required for a wide variety of needs and can do my best to provide reinforcement on current training, but I am not going to be attuned right off the jump to the nuances noticed by your trainer or you... I can reinforce sit, lay down, paw, stay, heel, rollover, or anything else. I can administer medicine. I am not formally trained in pet CPR, but I am trained in human CPR and have looked at videos for pet CPR. When I was younger I worked as a lifeguard, and have a remarkable natural ability to stay calm and act fast in crisis situations. This comes in handy, for example: when protecting my maltipoo from other dogs, managing territorial behavior, or keeping one dog out of another dog’s bowl. My schedule is flexible and I have a car. I have a small business and partial responsibility of my dog, so I do need to be able to run errands, go to meetings, or check in at home to keep that part of my life running. For extended care, and distance further than 5 miles, I prefer be given the option to stay over at clients for the sake of gas costs, time, and energy. First meeting and approach are important to setting a precedent, I first see if the pet will approach me. I like to offer my hand palm down for them to smell. Sometimes it takes a few times smelling the hand before they feel comfortable letting me pet them. In my opinion it’s important not to mess up first impressions with the pet. Spending time together builds familiarity bonds, being attentive builds trust. It’s important to build rapport.

“I have use Katrina every time I go out of town. She is the best with my cats and takes the most adorable pictures leaving me able to relax because I can rest assured that they are in good hands”

Heather M.

“Meranda is an absolute GEM! We had an emergency where our pups needed more care. She was ready in less than 30 minutes to watch our pups! She even took them to the dog park!!!! This is the BEST sitter in Cinci! We will book with her again when we visit Cinci next time!!!!”

Becca R.

“I am beyond grateful for Alison’s exceptional care of my dog. Not only did they provide all the basics—feeding, walks, and playtime—but they went the extra mile to make sure my dog was safe during a snowstorm. She was incredibly. It was evident that Alison thought about my dog and when above and beyond and truly cares about animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, thank you for your kindness and dedication!”

Ricardo D.

“Angel was extremely responsive when setting up the meet and greet and took amazing care of Mr Cat! She sent daily photos and updates and he looked happy and cared for!”

Marcy S.

“Jay did a great job checking on and feeding our cats. He even got one of the shy ones to come out and visit him.”

Stephanie M.

“Emily was wonderful with our three kitties! She was great about keeping us updated and informed during her visits, and even managed to get one of our more shy cats to come out of his shell and play a little during our short time away. ❤️ Would definitely have her watch our cats again!”

Mallory S.

“Carson did a great job! He was very kind, consistent and communicative- he was even able to cover an extra day for me when my plans shifted! He did a great job keeping my boy taken care of!”

Stix N.

“Laura did a great job with our kitties! She even took the time to bring in boxes from our porch. We have an older cat with an unusual no-litter situation which she was very willing to work with. It helped make our vacation less stressful knowing our boys were in good hands!”

Vanessa K.

“Sandy was exceptional! Her communication was far more timely than I was able to reciprocate. Making adjustments to the plan was a breeze. Sandy bonded with my animal almost immediately! She played, fed, petted, sat with, and cleaned up after him, giving me synopses and pictures I loved to read and see each night. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely do again, requesting Sandy!”

Vernet D.

“Dana took great care of our cat while we were away! She sent pictures and a detailed note everyday, which made us feel so much better! I would definitely recommend her for cat sitting.”

Emily C.

“Andrea has been so good to my mini dachshund. My dog is sometimes anxious, stubborn, and can lash out a bit if she is triggered. But Andrea has remained patient and given me frequent updates on her visits. She is great!!”

Elizabeth T.

“I had a great experience working with Emma! She took great care of my kitties and helped give medication to one of them, while also monitoring her condition and keeping me updated every day. It really gave me peace of mind. The kitties are happy to see her again!”
