Cat Sitting Shandon

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats for years now and have worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility for 4 1/2 years. My neighbors always come to me when they need someone to take care of their pets. I’ve had experience feeding, giving medication, and training I currently work full time and usually get off early so I’ll have lots of time to care for your pups! I’m free most weekends and after 3 most days I’m not looking to provide home services at my home currently because I’m currently still living with my parents. Hopefully in the future that will be a paw-sability for me

“We had a great experience with our drop-in visits! Communication was excellent, our dog was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We’d absolutely book again.”

“Charlotte was so awesome! She learned how to do Stonks' insulin and gave him a lot of love and attention. When he ended up getting sick, she was extremely communicative and took extra time out of her day to watch him and keep me updated as I made the trek back home. Would absolutely use her again!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and for years have been dog sitting for friends and family. I do have one small dog in my home who is friendly with other dogs and would enjoy the company of your pup! I work a full time teaching job Monday- Friday but will be home all evening and weekends with your pup! I usually walk my dogs in the morning before work and then again in the evening if weather permits. My dogs have been my children and they are allowed on all furniture and beds. They have a chill place to relax in my home as well as a large backyard! I live right next to a park so they get a regular walk each day. I do not have a fenced in back yard so your dog must be comfortable going out to potty on a leash :)

“Emma is a wonderful and caring pet sitter. She spent quality time with our dogs who both have special care instructions. She is also an amazing pet photographer! Would highly recommend.”

“Leo had very unheard of off day and wasn’t feeling his injection, but Christina did not give up. I appreciated her willingness to make sure the job was done and was very communicative during the drop in.”

I am currently in between jobs and have a lot of free time to walk, play with, and care for your dogs and cats during the week! I also have availability during weekends!

About: I take great pride in the fact that I’ll treat your animals as if they were my own! I’ve handled reactive pets and have had to administer medications multiple times a day to pets as well. I’m an early bird and love to stay busy! I work as a bartender so I have plenty of time on my hands and have a flexible schedule to take great care of your loved ones I have two wonderful fur babies that I walk regularly.

About: Hi! I’m Sasha 🐾 A lifelong animal lover with 6 amazing pets of my own—4 cats, a senior pug, and a bearded dragon! I have over 5 years of experience working in an animal hospital as a kennel attendant and vet tech, so I’m comfortable giving meds, handling special-needs pets, and caring for animals of all temperaments. I truly love them all, furry or scaly! I’m comfortable with hyper, anxious, senior, or reactive pets—and I promise to treat your fur (or scaly) babies like they’re part of my own little zoo at home 🐶🐱🦎 I have a pretty open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine.

I always follow their normal schedule to keep them comfortable and happy, making sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

“Jenna was quick to respond to all texts and accommodating to schedule changes. It was a very good first time boarding experience. Would definitely recommend/board w her again.”

About: New to Rover, NOT new to cat sitting! I’ve been caring for cats ever since I was a little girl! Growing up, my family rescued numerous cats, so I’ve had experience with all kinds of personalities, from playful and outgoing to shy and independent. I now have two cats of my own here in Cincinnati, and they are my absolute world! As a cat mom myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind while traveling. I want to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in loving hands! I also have experience administering small pills to cats. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them space to feel comfortable, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own! I currently work a corporate 9-5 job that is fully remote, so I can really make the schedule around my plans for that day to give all the love to your pets! When caring for pets in a home, my goal is to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while sticking to their normal routine! I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and plenty of attention. Whether your cat loves playtime and cuddles or prefers their own space, I’m happy to adjust to their personality and needs. I also understand how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I’m always happy to send pictures and updates! I’ll treat your pets and home with the same love, care, and respect I would my own.

“Gwendolyn was wonderful with Moki! She spoiled her rotten, sent pictures several times a day and was very responsive when contacted. I can 100% recommend her and will definitely have her come again when I need a sitter for Moki!”

“Emiley did a great job watching my cat Alex while I was out of town. She asked questions to make sure she knew exactly what I needed and then let me what she was able to do within her schedule. We worked out plan that was good for both of us. She kept in contact and gave daily updates while she was watching Alex.”

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. From fun-filled walks and playtime to administering medications and providing attentive senior care, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique needs. I’m also skilled in basic training and maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. My passion for keeping dogs happy and healthy ensures they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. Daily Routine:     1.    Morning Care:     •    Start the day with a morning potty break for Tootsie, followed by her breakfast. Puppies often have high energy in the morning, so I set aside 15-20 minutes for a walk or playtime to help her burn off energy.     •    This ensures she’s settled while I begin my workday.     2.    Midday Break:     •    Working from home allows me to schedule a midday potty break and a short walk. This keeps Tootsie active and gives me a mental break from work.     3.    Afternoon Engagement:     •    I incorporate short play sessions between tasks to provide Toots with mental stimulation, whether it’s a game of fetch, tug, or a puzzle toy.     •    These breaks are timed to coincide with natural pauses in my workflow, helping me stay refreshed and productive.     4.    Evening Care:     •    I dedicate time for a longer walk or play session to meet her exercise needs.     •    Dinner and another potty break follow, ensuring she’s relaxed for the evening.     5.    Winding Down:     •    We end the day with cuddle time and one last potty break before bed, maintaining her routine and comfort. Weekly Routine:     •    Training Sessions: I include short, 5-10 minute training sessions daily to reinforce good behaviors and teach new commands.     •    Socialization: On weekends, I take my dog to a park or pet-friendly area to expose her to new environments, people, and other dogs.     •    Grooming and Maintenance: Weekly brushing keeps her long coat healthy, and I check her nails and ears regularly to prevent any issues.     •    House Cleaning: I allocate time to clean her bedding, toys, and the areas where she spends time to maintain hygiene. Working from home makes it easier to integrate these tasks naturally into my day. It ensures Tootsie’s needs are met while allowing me to balance work responsibilities effectively. When caring for pets in either my own home or a client's home, I prioritize safety by ensuring a secure environment, following their specific care instructions diligently, closely monitoring their behavior, and always keeping their well-being at the forefront, including providing proper food, water, exercise, and access to designated bathroom areas, while fostering a trusting relationship through consistent routines and gentle interactions. Key aspects of pet care, depending on the service offered: Basic Needs: Feeding: Providing the correct amount of their prescribed food at scheduled times, ensuring fresh water is always available. Waste Management: Regularly cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs outside for bathroom breaks, and proper disposal of waste. Exercise: Engaging in appropriate physical activity based on the pet's breed and needs, such as walks, playtime, or interactive toys. Safety Measures: Secure Environment: Checking for potential hazards like open doors, toxic substances, and securing areas that could be dangerous for the pet. Leash Supervision: Always using a leash when walking dogs outdoors in public areas. Medication Administration: Following strict instructions for administering any prescribed medications. Trust Building: Positive Reinforcement: Using positive training techniques and rewards to build a positive relationship. Gentle Handling: Respecting the pet's boundaries and comfort level, avoiding forceful actions. Communication: Maintaining open communication with the client regarding any concerns or changes in the pet's behavior.

About: I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and completely at home while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, medication support, or giving them plenty of snuggles and playtime, I’m happy to step into their routine and keep everything feeling familiar and comforting. I have experience caring for a wide range of pets. I currently have a 4‑year‑old Goldendoodle and a 2‑year‑old Cockapoo, both raised since they were tiny 8‑week‑old pups. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, so caring for pets is truly part of who I am. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member, learn what makes them happiest, and create a sweet, lasting bond that makes them excited every time I walk through the door. My motto: If they’re spoiled rotten, you’re doing it right! 😊 I work full‑time, but I have plenty of flexibility and autonomy built into my schedule, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I’m especially available on weekends, when I can give your pet even more focused attention, snuggles, and playtime. During every service, safety is my number one priority. I’ll always make sure your fur babies are protected, comfortable, and cared for — whether I’m at your home or mine.

“Allie was on time and reliable throughout my booking, and even flexible enough to add an extra visit! I felt secure that because of her background as a vet assistant my boy with medical needs and a medication schedule was in good hands. Would definitely book with her in the future!”

About: Hello my name is Tyler. I’m 40 yrs old and I love spending time with dogs. I have been a dog owner and have trained all my own dogs. Currently I’m unemployed due to having brain surgery at the end of 24’ and then the follow up treatments taking most of 25’. So I have lotsa time, attention, and love to give your pet(s). This is actually my attempt at getting back into the working world. Can’t imagine a much better way to ease back into work than to help some people out with their pet care needs. I have a park walking distance from my house that I can take dogs to run around and use the bathroom and I live in a good area for walks. I am well versed on typical dog etiquette in public around other people and animals. I have experience with all types of dogs large and small. I’m a big guy and can handle the larger breeds pretty well usually, but also caring for the little ones as well. I always prioritize the pet(s) health and safety first, and then having some fun second :). I would love to provide a safe and relaxing spot for your pet(s). Also FYI - for boardings if pickup on the last day is after noon I will ask for a day fee of $35. I’m currently unemployed due to brain surgery I had this time last year to remove a large cancerous tumor. Luckily I recovered beautifully and quickly and am still fully functional, minus a little extra forgetfulness but nothing bad at all. So I’m available all days of the week, and have all my time, attention and love to give your pet(s). I’m very experienced with dogs of all types large, small, u name it. I’m a big guy at 6’4” and about 225 lbs so I can handle em all. I’m also rather calm and quiet which I believe helps animals feel at ease around me. I’d take care of yours as if they were my own! :) I take as much precaution as I can with all animals certainly someone else’s. The animals safety and health are my number one concern when caring for someone’s loved pet(s).

About: I’ve had my first dog( Bandit) for 10 years. Since I was 9, I would take care of him on the daily. I would be the one to bathe, feed, play with him, and walk him. My extended family even trusted me to care for their pets while they’ve been away. I also own many different kinds of pets other than dogs and cats, so animal care is something I have adapted to. For the past two years, I have had experience in intensive dog training and I am educated in dog behavior. I attend The Ohio State University studying Biology in order to become a Veterinarian. Not only do i need to earn a bachelor’s degree to get into vet school, but i also need hours of experience. To achieve that, I have volunteered at ASPCA (animal rescue organization) to care for the many animals in need. While there, I learned how to care for animals that have been in rough situations. I am able to manage dogs that are twice my size. As a crazy animal lover, I'd love to meet your pets! As of right now , I am available all day everyday to care for my own pets and yours too! I work from home, so pet care is something I’m able to do on the side. At home, I just got a fenced yard installed, but I take my pets out on walks. They are under my super vision 24/7. If my client has a fenced yard, I will happily take them outside as needed and provide playtime.
