Cat Sitting in Sheldon

“My first time using rover and having someone check in on our fur baby! By far exceeded my expectations!!”

“Patrick took good care of our pets. He was on time and took pics. Going to book our next trip with him in a couple of weeks. We felt real comfortable leaving him in our house with our furbabies.”

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I have trained almost all my dogs since they were puppies. I have trained my own service dog. I have a passion for training dogs. I am currently retired, so I have plenty of time to play with and train your pup. I can take them for daily walks around the park as well. I have a fenced yard and a nearby park to take your dog for a walk. I have my own friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a cat, but if your dog does not like cats, I can isolate may cat from your dog. My big dog seems to have a way of knowing how to make dogs feel comfortable in our home. He knows when to interact with them and when to just leave them alone. I am retired so I have lots of time to spend with your dog. I try to schedule my activities around when I have dogs, so I can devote all my time to caring for the dogs. I have a fenced in yard. I always supervise dogs when they are outside. I try to set up play dates with a neighbor who also works for Rover. My husband and family members are usually around to play with and take dogs on walks. I am currently transforming my services to focus more on training sessions in my client’s home. My main focus is working with young pups and to start training from day one, although I welcome the opportunity to train dogs of all ages. My goals are to offer support to dog owners on how to properly train desired behaviors in their dogs. I closely monitor all dogs, especially during play. I train the dogs how to play appropriately with each other. I will only crate dogs if it’s for their own safety. The only services I do in a client’s home are training sessions with the client present.

“Jenny is the best!!! Always had our cat looking forward to her visits and we enjoyed the pictures/comments. Gave us ease of mind while we were away and she also looked after our snake!! The updates provided let us know our cats mood and eating habits.”

“Amy was great! We felt so reassured that our kitty was getting the attention she needed while we were gone. I appreciated the daily photo updates and could tell she took great care of our girl.”

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Sparrow, Haze, and Champagne. I was able to enjoy my vacation with peace of mind. All instructions were followed, and you my cats were in good hands. I would recommend.”

About: I’ve had pets in my life and I just love animals and I’m willing to take care of your pets when you’re busy and I’ll give them the best care and the most fun. I am very flexible I have a open schedule right now. Anytime works for me to tend for your pets on a walk, home visits or extra TLC In my own home, I took my dog out multiple times a day. Make sure he’s fed and cared for if weather permits taking them to the park or just having fun.

“Kim is the absolutely best! This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous beforehand. However, after our initial messages, I immediately felt comfortable with Kim and knew that our cat was going to be well taken care of and loved while we were away. Before booking, we had the opportunity to meet in person and for our cat to meet her. It was evident that our cat felt comfortable and safe with her right away as well. Kim is an excellent communicator and would share pictures and videos of our cat, Hazel, each visit. She also went above and beyond, bringing in packages for us and even offered to water plants, etc. If you are looking forward to a reliable, kind person to take care of your pets while you’re away, Kim is your person! I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you again Kim ☺️”

“Joseph is very professional and good energy. Our cats are usually timid - they’re rescues - and hide when people they don’t know come around but Cookie especially made herself visible to him - she’s the fussy one - so it shows his heart around pets. Will definitely be utilizing his service when we leave our beloved pets.”

About: Hello! My name is Victoria and I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. I currently have one husky (Toukay) and she’s been with me for 7 years. I try taking her for daily walks when the weather permits. I’ve always been with more than 3 dogs so it gets a little lonely with just one. I’d love to take care of your fur baby 🥰 I’m currently working full time and going to school online so besides work, I am free and weekends are usually my free days to catch up on school work and study. I have a small fenced balcony/yard in my apartment and I have one female husky who gets along with everyone and could definitely use the company of a fur friend!

About: It has been said to me that my first words as a child were ... barking! While I don't remember that, I do remember always having a connection with all furry companions. I grew up with dogs and cats and on occasion would visit my great grandparents' ranch, with horses, goats and more. I loved giving the animals snacks. More recently, I moved onto a small farm. I helped take care of over a dozen chickens and 2 turkeys; feeding, watering, cleaning the coop. Most of my formal career experience has been in education. In addition to many childcare and classroom support jobs, I also taught public school for 5 years. In either environment, my natural tendency has always been to provide heartfelt nurturing and care. I am not just a sitter on Rover but have used the service myself to board my cat before. I know what it's like to leave your baby in someone else's hands. Please communicate specifically to me so that we can rest assured all needs are met for your beloved pet. I will treat your furry family member like I would want mine to be treated - patiently, attentively, carefully and lovingly and only ask that you communicate any expectations or other information, directly and thoroughly. From there, I will attend to the non-verbal but very sincere communication given by your dogs, cats or other pets - in order to provide the best care possible. (Además soy bilingüe) I currently work part-time as an in-home Instructor for developmentally disabled adults. My availability will vary, because it depends on where I am driving to/from that day for my regular clients. Sometimes, sessions get cancelled on short notice. For this reason, I prefer to fill my schedule on a day-to-day basis, or at least weekly. I'm happy to answer any questions about specifics, so there is no confusion. Naturally, I'll provide the same consideration I'd expect from someone taking care of my home or pet. I'll be detail oriented, focused, careful and respectful. If you desire pet boarding, I suggest a meet and greet at my house first, as it is a tiny home. I have an enclosed yard and lots of acres to roam, but want to be sure it's a fit.

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for m. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).

About: Hello! My name is Haley. I have been in the pet industry since 2009. I started as a Veterinary Assistant through the Medical Occupations program in high school. While attending college and working in pet retail, I certified in dog and cat nutrition and gained valuable knowledge about behavior, training, and socialization. Eventually the path led to pet grooming in 2013 and I could not be happier with my career choice. My husband and I have 2 sons together. We opened a pet grooming business in 2019, where we work together taking care of our fluffy clients every day. It is our absolute passion! I specialize in handling seniors and am comfortable taking care of disabled pets, and/or ones that require medication. I would love to extend my services further to include dog walking, and evening drop in visits whenever needed. I am occasionally available for pet sitting as well. Just let me know whatever you need. I also have experience taking care of exotic animals such as birds, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, rabbits, and reptiles. I work in my pet salon Tuesday-Friday until about 5pm, and Saturdays until about 3-5pm, so my walk and drop in hours would be closer to evening times, with Sundays and Mondays being more flexible. Drop in visits will be at your home. I will text upon arrival/departure. Please ensure that you have their appropriate leash/collar/harness available and that it is a snug fit. Or I am happy to provide my own leash for their walks as well. I can provide this service via latchkey, or we can meet at the door for a hand-off. Let me know whatever preference suits you best.

About: I've been caring for my neighbor's dog for the past three years, and recently started caring for their second dog as well. I also enjoy dog walking, for myself and for the pups! I've learned to pay attention to how dogs are feeling through their body language, and I understand what it's like to care for a dog who might be a bit anxious. I'm excited to spend more time with dogs and provide them with a comfortable and enjoyable experience while they're in my care. I’m a college student with classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I’m free Monday and Wednesdays during the day, and Friday through Sunday. I can’t wait to hang out with your pup! I can sit and cuddle with your pup, or play games including some enrichment activities to make your pup feel happy and content. I love to walk and would be happy to take your pup for a walk around the block!

“Vicente and Victor are always responsive and reliable. I’ve booked them a few times and everything has been great. Thank you so much for taking care of my furry baby.”

About: Schnauzers to Shepherds, Bichons to Burmese, Malinois to Malamute, Rottweilers to Rabbits, Goats, Sheep, Chickens or even Horses. Growing up I spent my summers on a farm so am comfortable around all animals. I work from home, so have short notice flexible availability. Super clean and quiet, I pride myself on not leaving a “footprint” when I visit your home. Adaptable to your preferences for either high intensity workouts for your “runner” or slow lingering walks for our shy timid types. I pace myself to the personality of the animal yet enforce strict boundaries for both our safety. Using preventative measures combined with positive reinforcement, creates a safe, engaging environment for your fur baby.

“Ashley was amazing. Pearl just loved her and the walks they did together. Thank you Ashley”

I’m your gal! I’m currently working on coding projects so my time is flexible for your babies! I’m not free on some Saturdays but I will also let you know before hand With three cats of my own, I'm skilled at catering to the unique needs and personalities of each pet, whether they're staying with me or I'm caring for them in your home.
