Cat Sitting Soles

“Olivia was everything I needed in a cat sitter. She was kind, polite, and did everything asked, plus a bit extra! Olivia is already very experienced with cat sitting, so other than provide basic instructions about where to find things, I did not have to provide any other instructions. She filled out extensively detailed Rover cards (a first for any of my drop-ins) and provided ample photos, which I appreciated because I tend to worry about my home and pets while I am away. She made visual contact to confirm that my cats that hide are ok, and gave extra attention to my cat that likes to play and be petted. She had to bring her children to one drop in, but she asked first, and that was so polite of her to do, plus it ensured the safety of my cats and her children. The kids played very nicely and showed affection to my friendly cat, who gets really bored and lonely when we are out. She even stayed a bit longer a few times to play with him. When someone is dropping in at your home they could do almost anything and you would have no idea, so I appreciate being informed. You have to place a lot of trust in someone in order to allow them into your home, care for your animals, and make an emergency decision if necessary. Communication is a major component in earning and keeping that trust. Olivia followed all instructions, asked for clarification if necessary, and kept me informed on what happened at my house, the cats, and what she did while there. She even brought in my UPS box. She was an outstanding sitter, the best I've used so far. I would definitely use Olivia again.”

“Susan was great! Took great care of our dogs and checked in during the times that she said she would. Could see our dogs were well taken care of and enjoyed her company.”

“Jess took great care of my Kona and Daisy. They tend to be a little shy when their mom and dad are not around. She was very patient with them and allowed them the time to have them warm up to her. Towards the end, they were all best friends. She also sent great Rover Cards and pictures! Definitely will give her ring again.”

About: I am Fear Free Certified, with 2 years of professional experience in animal shelters, and upwards of 5 years personal experience with pets of all shapes and sizes. I specialize is animals who need extra attention, like dogs who struggle with resource guarding or reactivity. My goal is always to relieve any animal of fear, anxiety, or stress. My schedule is open and flexible! I understand that things happen, and we aren’t always able to book a sitter a week in advance. I always do my best to keep my schedule open for same-day bookings Every pet parent does things their own way! I cater to each parent’s routine and rules. If your little one needs a slow and steady approach, I’ll always match their speed. If your dog has high energy and a high prey drive, they’ll be tuckered out and happy by the time I leave.

“I cannot speak highly enough of Lily! She watched our cat Marco over 4 days. Lily was unbelievably awesome! She knew how to build trust with cats and spent time doing it. She interpreted all Marco's body language excellently, and knew how and when to approach, and when to leave things be. Lily gave amazing updates on each visit and all the photos helped me miss him in a balanced way so that I could be present for the important life event we couldn't take him with us on. Lily was incredibly thoughtful around little touches in his environment to help him stay comfortable and safe. She even was able to navigate coming out to do her visits on our boat where we all live. What can this woman not do? Nothing it seems. Worth every penny and more. Looking for someone who is so good they have all the qualifications of an animal behaviorist PhD? Lily is your girl!!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 15. I started working for a groomer as a bather for 7 years and have worked at Animal Care of Gloucester for 7 years. I am very well experienced in the their well being, animal behavior, walking, feeding, medicating, bathing. I would love to be able to help take care of animals in my free time. From puppies to seniors I have worked with them all. I am currently working looking for work but I would love to spend my free time taking care of animals. I do have my son every other weekend, so I will be available for pet sitting overnight every other weekend. I live at the end of a quarter mile dirt road off of the main streets, I do not have a fenced in yard but am able to leash walk as many times a day as needed. I have 5 babies of my own, 1 dogs, 2 cats, and a cockatiel that are very friendly and live other animals. I can easily crate if needed and provided and have a pet safe home. I am currently looking for work so anytime is perfectly fine. I do take & pick my son up from school everyday at 8:30am and 3:30pm. I can easily crate pets if needed. I live at the end of a quarter mile dirt road so there is very little traffic and plenty of space for walks.

“Samantha was a joy to work with! I needed her to check in on our dog, Chloe, a few times while we were on a quick, one-night trip. She was more than happy to come meet Chloe and me a few days beforehand, which eased my dog-mom nerves. While we were gone, she provided great updates each time she visited Chloe, as well as pictures. She also took Chloe on a walk during each visit, which wasn’t required (we have a fenced-in backyard), but which Chloe really appreciated! Samantha is a true professional, and we will absolutely ask for her help again in the future!”

“Deana did drop in visits for me. She was very responsive right off the bat and remained so. She sent me pictures of my cat when she visited. 10/10 would hire again!”

Kelsey D.

“She was really great- she took care of both my cats consistently and was responsive, trustworthy, and sweet. Extremely flexible on my dates of travel changing as well- I would definitely use her again!”

I can guarantee your pet’s safety and that he or she will get lots of love while they stay. My husband and I have two children. We live on 6 acres of land and I stay home.

We have a puppy who is 6 months old who can keep your fur baby company or be kept separate if needed.

“We are so happy with Rebecca! She took great care of Willow and she was happy when we arrived home. It was my first time leaving Willow since we welcomed her to our family but after meeting Rebecca my mind was at ease. You can instantly see the love she has for all fur babies!! Highly recommend and we will definitely be seeing her again!!!😊”
