Cat Sitting Sherwood

“Joshua was wonderful, he was timely, communicative, and our shy kitty absolutely loved him. If you are looking for someone dependable who loves your pet he is the one!”

About: Hi! I’m Nikki, and I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. Growing up with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their different personalities, routines, and the love and attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. I’ve also cared dogs and cats while people are away, making sure they stayed on their normal schedule, got plenty of playtime, and received lots of love and attention. In addition to dogs and cats, I currently care for two pet ferrets, so I’m comfortable with small animals and understand that every pet has unique needs. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or someone patient and dependable to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’d love the opportunity to earn that trust and care for your pets. My schedule allows me to provide care during early mornings before 7:30 AM and evenings after 4:00–5:30 PM, depending on the day. I also have every other Friday off, which gives me full-day availability on those Fridays for walks, drop-in visits, or extended pet care. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs a morning potty break, a walk before work, dinner, playtime, or an evening check-in, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care and treating every pet like they’re my own. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special care your pet requires. I know every pet is different, so I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care that makes them feel comfortable and secure. I also treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping things clean, locking doors, and making sure your pet’s space stays safe and tidy. I’ll provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Lauren is wonderful. Most importantly, she established rapport with my greencheek conures, and my cat--no small task. She also took care to let me know how each were on every visit. She also minded the place and gathered mail in my absence. So grateful!! Thank you thank you thank you! Highly recommend for her kindness, expertise, and professionalism.”

“Emily did a terrific job for us. She was punctual, diligent and, most importantly, very kind to our pets. One of our cats is diabetic and requires shots twice a day. Emily followed all of the instructions for feeding and dosing him and his blood sugar was spot-on when we came home. I cannot say enough good things about Emily. We will gladly hire her again.”

“Curtis was a great caretaker for our two cats: Dropped by everyday, administered pills, changed food, water, and litter in addition to play time! Heavily recommend, he's a great sitter!”

“I am thrilled to recommend Ashleigh as a sitter on Rover. Ashleigh took amazing care of my six month old kittens for the first time while my husband I went away for two nights. Ashleigh followed my detailed care instructions perfectly. She was punctual to the minute for each visit which meant my kittens had a consistent routine while we were away. She was able to take many photos of the cats and wrote detailed notes about how specific things went. Ashleigh took the time to get to know my animals’ personalities and took care of them as if they were her own. I appreciated Ashleigh’s light hearted and thorough communication style! I found it extremely easy to stay in touch with her and could tell my animals were in good hands when we were away. Upon returning home we found the kittens were very relaxed and not stressed in the slightest. I’m excited to continue to use Ashleigh’s services in the future.”

“We found an abandoned kitten behind the Wegmans, took her in, but had long-term travel plans in the next few days. Tara absolutely saved the day. She's very knowledgeable of early development best practices, and did so punctually, with genuine love in her heart. If you're lucky enough to be able to book Tara, you'll be getting the best of the best.”

“Very pleasant and I was very pleased”

“As a first-time Rover user with a shy cat, I was nervous about having someone new check on my kitty periodically. We really lucked out with Rachel. Rachel was patient with my many questions and walked me through Rover’s process. My cat allowed Rachel to pet her and even ate her food when Rachel was around, which is huge! I will absolutely book Rachel again the next time our schedules align! I recommend Rachel whether you’re a seasoned Rover user or a novice. Rachel is someone who definitely knows what they are doing and seeks to make your pet as comfortable as possible in your absence.”

“Christine was kind and personable, and took good care of my cat while I was on vacation. She also watered my flowers and brought in my mail for me. I’m so grateful for Christine’s services, and will definitely ask for her help again! Thanks so much, Christine!😊”

About: Hi!! My name is Elisha. It is a pleasure to be a consideration to you. A little about me .. I’ve taken care of many doggies and kitties for relatives, friends, you name it. Since I can remember. I treat them as I would real children and companions. If you are in need of an extra hand, to walk or to visit your pup/kitty, I am available. I know life can get busy with work, traveling, or even dates. That is why I am so compassionate towards fur babies and believe that for your comfort as an owner, Rover is a great investment. I try to keep costs low as I am new, so here is to new pup/kitty beginnings ! I work 3-5 hours in the Baltimore area, however I live up Harford county so I’m flexible with locations and times! I can do early mornings, late noons, whichever is preferred by you :) I have a friendly pittie who can keep your dog company on walks (if they fare well that way) I will give often updates, photos, any notes as needed. An additional service I like to do for clients is picking up waste in the back, as it tends to become tedious and maybe difficult for some people, I am all here for it ! Please request that when booking.

“Brian really came through for us at the last minute! Our usual house sitter had an emergency and had to leave two days before the end of our trip, and Brian jumped in to help even though he had never cat sit for us before. He was attentive to detail and kept us updated with pictures. Thanks again Brian you really saved our vacation!”

About: While I may not have much professional experience I have owned a variety of pets my entire life from dogs and cats to bunnies and squirrels! I even interned at a veterinary office. I currently work a full-time job but I am looking to fill my time with pet care during the evenings after 4 and all day during the weekends. I am aware of dogs and cats body language and by understand them, I can better help support their needs. I can redirect when necessary and calm energetic behavior.

“Julie was great especially since my booking was so last minute. She was prompt in her response time and very flexible and easy to work with. Highly recommend and will definitely use her again!”

“Danielle did an amazing job watching Zara!! She took good care of her and sent me regular updates and pictures. I could tell Zara was happy and comfortable :-). This was my first time leaving her alone and I couldn't have made a better choice. I will definitely re-book with her again!”

About: Hello Pet Parents, My name is Alicia Knight, and I am a 25-year-old animal enthusiast. I absolutely adore all kinds of animals, especially dogs! I'm a proud owner of two rescue dogs: a miniature goldendoodle named Mo and a great dane named Moose. My dogs bring me immense joy, and I understand how it feels to be a dog mom who can't always be around to care for her furry babies. That's why I'm here to offer my services! If you need someone to feed your pets or take them out for a walk, I'm here to ensure they receive all the love and attention they deserve. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can attend to your pets at any time, whether it's early in the morning or late at night. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I am confident in my ability to keep your pets safe and happy. When it comes to feeding, I am comfortable following any specific dietary requirements or restrictions your pet may have. And when it comes to walks, I'm always happy to take your furry friends to their favorite park or explore new trails together. I believe communication is key, so I'll always keep you updated on how your pets are doing, and I'll make sure to follow any special instructions you may have. With me, your pets will be in good hands, and you can rest assured knowing they're receiving the best care possible. I work full-time but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pets whenever you need. My workplace is only 5 minutes away from home, so I am easily available before and after work. I will ensure that your pets feel comfortable and loved, just as if you were with them yourself. I will follow their regular routine, which you provide me with, and treat them as if they were my own furry companions. I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your beloved pet with someone else, so I will keep you updated with photos and alerts to let you know that they are in good care.

“Mina was caring and attentive to Otto, making us feel comfortable being away. She sent pictures of Otto from her visits. She did everything we requested to care for our cat and our house in our absence. I would feel completely comfortable hiring her again during our travel!”
