Cat Sitting Scio

“Betsy was great at communicating. My kitties enjoyed her company. I appreciate having someone I can trust to take care of them when I have to be away.”

About: I've been caring for pets my whole life, and have been a trusted sitter for family and friends for many years. I've also been a volunteer for the Humane Society since 2019, helping socialize and train some of the most challenging shelter dogs and cats. I have experience with large and xl dogs, senior animals, and puppies and kittens 8 weeks and older. I grew up in a family that adopted all sorts of pets, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, horses, parakeets, and one very majestic iguana. While I don't currently have any pets since my last elderly fur baby crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I look forward to adopting again in the future from a rescue organization. I'm a freelance grant writer, which means lots of flexibility to meet your scheduling needs. I can do drop-in visits and overnights at your home, and will happily send you as many photos as you like. Your trust and your fur baby's well being are my top priorities. I always make sure to follow any instructions or rules you have for your home and pets.

“Melissa was very responsive and responsible; she handled giving my cats meds like a pro. This was my first time using Rover, and I was initially nervous as I had never used an app like this. Would 100% recommend booking with Melissa, I felt like my cats were in great hands.”

“Lola immediately connected with Katie when they first met. We appreciate her dependability and communication.”

About: I grew up with a golden retriever named Hailey, and when I was younger I helped my mom foster care for various puppies and cats. I am available weekdays during the summer. I am a 6 ft broad shouldered guy, so I can handle any dogs you throw at me. I have always loved animals, especially dogs. I gaurentee your dog will get a ton of positive attention, and physical activity if need be! Hope to meet tons of cool dogs! Currently doing Rover work as a summer job while I go to school for engineering! Available most weekdays and some weekends. Have a dog of my own but my parents treat him like a grandchild so I have plenty of time for Rover. Have plenty of experience with high anxiety/elder dogs as well as dogs with special needs such as diabetes who need injections through my sister's dog as well as some neighbors! One such dog usually hates people who aren't his owner but I wore him down and now he loves me! She is always shocked at how he reacts when he sees me, usually he barks and snarls at most people/other dogs but he's all cuddles when I come by. My sister's dog is high anxiety and hates most men but of course not me because Im special. (jk just great with dogs!)

About: I’ve taken care of many pets! I have lots of experience with dogs, cats, rats, chinchillas, and birds. I’ve also taken care of guinea pigs, ferrets, and bunnies. I’ve pet sit for neighbors, coworkers, and friends. I’m currently not going in for work so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I may only leave for a couple hours at a time to run errands. I have a fenced yard and live near nature trails that provide an exciting walking environment for dogs. I have two dogs at home that are ok with other dogs.

“My experience with Jessi was perfect! My shy cats actually came out from under the bed for her. She left super informative feedback and accommodated all my requests! She was super sweet and kind. I will definitely rebook with her soon!”

“This was our first time having someone to come help with Bramble. Alyssa made it so easy not to worry. She handled everything everything with care and was so professional. Bramble has plenty of energy, but it was no issue.”

About: I've personally cared for multiple dogs and cats for most of my life. I've most recently provided in-home care for a number of pets on Trusted Housesitters along with my partner for the past three years. We have received consistent five-star reviews from pet owners. I've also cared for my own two small dogs, and am comfortable managing daily routines, exercise, and behavioral cues. Most recently, I've supported a senior cat with health issues during an acute period providing attentive monitoring and calm, consistent care. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to be present for walks, daily care, and lots of one on one attention on a regular basis. I live on a quiet two-acre country property with open space and low traffic dirt roads. The yard is not fenced so dogs are always supervised outdoors and kept on a leash for walks.

“Lauren took the time to carefully read through all the background info I gave her about my reactive dog in advance, and she did a great job of following all the instructions I'd given her about how to set him up for success when he's meeting a new person. She was mindful of his sensitivities and was a calm, competent, and friendly presence when meeting him. We'll definitely book her again!”

“Abby is 10/10. Our cat was soft and silky when we came home so we know she wasn’t feeling stressed with Abby. Seeing pics of our kitty cuddling and also playing was the best ease of mind.”

Betsy B.

“She did the job exactly as we asked. Can’t complain and on a last minute request. She was incredibly thoughtful and thorough. Thank you Karen!”

Cameron S.

“Ashley is very sweet and attentive to our two cats. She is communicative and leaves detailed notes for each visit. Will definitely hire her again!”

Maxine S.

“Katharyn was great. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter. She took care of the essentials and played and petted Humphrey. I hope she can come back!”

Callum G.

“Elayna is great! She helped us out last minute with a drop-in and even squeezed in a quick meet and greet first. She was kind and communicative. Would definitely use Elayna as a sitter again!”

“This is my first time using Rover to get a pet care giver. I am very satisfied with the result. I would come back to Julie for future needs of visits.”

About: I grew up with 2 small dogs (who think they're cats) and adopted a 16-year-old cat (who thinks she's a human) last year. My cat, Potato, came home from the shelter with chronic kidney disease, arthritis, and stitches from getting one eye removed. Her health journey has taught me a lot about medication administration, symptom tracking, and trusting my gut about when it's time to go to the vet. It's also been incredibly rewarding to watch her heal and settle into her life here :). I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all kinds, and will always follow their lead, whether they want lots of love right away or need time to feel more comfortable. Ultimately, I'm hoping to help out in the community, make a little extra money, and give lots of head scratches! I'm currently between jobs so I have lots of time and flexibility to help out with your pets! I would love to build strong relationships with a few families and their pets that I can continue working with once I am employed. I am sensitive to each pet's needs and, once I know the baseline for a pet's behavior, I am proactive and communicative if I notice anything out of the ordinary.

About: I am overall an animal person and have taken care of pets for neighbors and friends for as long as I can remember. My experience includes dogs and cats varying in ages; from pets under the age of 1 to over the age of 14 and am willing to learn more about caring for animals of all ages and varying needs. I also helped some neighbors with some (very) basic dog training to help them become more confident in their journey in raising their new family members. Additionally, I like to maintain communication with owners (especially in the beginning for repeat clients) by asking questions relating to care, boundaries set, and of course sending lots of pictures! My current availability is Mondays-Thursdays any time after 10am, however I am very flexible and can adjust if needed. I am only available for day visits as I have to care for my own cats as well. I have two cats myself who I've had for about 12 years. My cats mean everything to me and I'm constantly observing their behaviors to ensure they are happy and healthy. I do set boundaries in my home for my own cats (not that they follow them anyways lol) such as not hanging out in the kitchen, making sure they're separated for meal times, no going into certain rooms, etc., so I will respect boundaries clients have set in their homes as well. As stated in my bio, I am very communicative and like to maintain regular contact with owners to give them peace of mind.

“Autumn took amazing care of my cat Ruby! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with, I would highly recommend her and would definitely have her take care of Ruby again!”

“Olivia was thoughtful, communicative, timely, and so sweet with Brodie. I was stress free knowing she was the one giving Brodie some love every day when we were gone.”
