Cat Sitting South Miami

“I can’t recommend Katherine enough! She took wonderful care of my one-year-old cat, Koda, while I was away. He was dealing with pink eye in both eyes and needed complicated medication. Katherine not only managed to give him his medicine reliably, but she also went above and beyond: taking him to the vet when he had a bad reaction, communicating closely with the clinic, noticing when he started scratching, and even finding a collar to keep him safe and comfortable. From day one, Koda absolutely adored her which instantly put me at ease (since I am a bit of a nervous pet parent and it was my first time leaving Koda with someone else). He was rolling onto his back, showing his belly, and rubbing against her legs from the moment he met her. That kind of immediate trust says everything honestly. On top of her amazing care for him, I trusted her completely with my home. She house-sat for me as well, and I came back to a clean, lovely space. Katherine is caring, attentive, responsible, and clearly has a special gift with animals. I would 100% hire her again (and honestly plan to every time I am out of town) and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter. Like, honestly. I am particular and tough to please as a general rule and she was fabulous.”

“Mariya was great in drop-ins looking after my cat and was a pleasure to work with. All communication was quick and clear, she was flexible with working out the details and meeting up, and followed all instructions. She sent lots of great pics and my cat did great while she was looking in on him. Would definitely book again.”

About: I’ve loved animals since I was little, growing up surrounded by all kinds of animals in the Dominican Republic and spending summers at my grandma’s farm. I lived with a cat for three years and absolutely loved having her around. Friends also trust me to care for their cats while they’re away, and I genuinely enjoy it! I work Monday–Thursday from 9–5, but I’m home in the mornings and evenings. I’m also fully available on Fridays and weekends, giving me plenty of time to give your kitty attention, playtime, and care. I travel quite a bit, so having my own cat isn’t the best fit for my lifestyle right now. Cat sitting gives me the perfect opportunity to enjoy some kitty time and care for other people’s fur babies! 🥹🐾 I offer care in my home as well as occasional drop-in visits. For stays at my home, I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable space where your kitty can feel safe and relaxed. I’ll follow your instructions and their usual routine closely, including feeding, litter box care, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and playtime. For drop-ins, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and cared for in their own space. I’ll also keep you updated with photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your fur baby is in good hands!

“She was wonderful! Great communication, flexible and made me feel really good about leaving my babies in her care! Will be booking again!”

“Sanjana was amazing. We have an elderly dog who has problems seeing and gets easily confused. Sanajana made sure he was OK each day and walked and fed him. Our dog accepted her immediately and it's like we never left the house. Thank you Sanjana!”

“Elizabeth was great with our 2 year old cat! She sent lots of pictures. She is very good with pets! Our cat greeted her with love when they first met. It was very sweet. I recommend working with Elizabeth!”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. Our 12 year old Belgian Malinois is the heart of our home, so I know what senior dog care looks like day to day, including slower walks, joint comfort, and keeping routines steady. Because my Malinois is reactive to other dogs, I understand how stressful it is for anxious or reactive pets and their owners, and I know how to keep things calm and controlled. I also have a horse, which has given me real experience with daily care and giving medications. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions for meds and special needs. Pets are already a big part of my daily routine. Between walks, feeding, and caring for our senior Malinois, my day naturally revolves around animals. My work schedule is flexible, so I can be home for much of the day, give regular potty breaks and walks, and keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. I’m happy to follow your feeding, medication, and exercise instructions and send updates so you know how they’re doing. In my home, pets get a calm, structured routine. They’ll have regular walks, meals on your schedule, plenty of cuddle time, and a comfortable spot to rest. I keep a close eye on how they’re eating, drinking, and acting, and I send updates so you know they’re doing well. In your home, I stick to the routine your pet already knows, including their feeding times, walks, and medications. I’ll also bring in the mail, water plants, and leave things tidy so you come home to a normal house and a happy pet. Either way, I follow your instructions closely and I’m always happy to talk through special needs before a stay.

I love starting the day with morning walks, playtime, and making sure each pet is happy and comfortable before I head to work. In the evenings, I have time for another walk, some fun playtime, or simply relaxing and giving them lots of love and attention. On my days off, I have even more availability for longer walks, outdoor adventures, and activities throughout the day! I always do my best to accommodate each pet’s individual routine and needs.

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for animals. Throughout my pet-sitting journey, I’ve had the pleasure of caring not only for furry four-legged friends, but also barn animals, reptiles, rodents, and aquatic pets. I am a reliable, communicative, loving, and attentive sitter who provides not just the experience your pet needs, but also the love, care, and peace of mind every pet parent deserves. Pet sitting is my full-time profession, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care and flexible scheduling. I intentionally limit the number of bookings I accept to ensure each pet receives my full attention, so early reservations are recommended. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided. I maintain a clean, secure environment and closely monitor behavior to ensure comfort and well-being. I provide regular updates with photos and detailed communication so you feel confident and informed while you’re away.

“Debbie did a great job taking care of our cat for a few days while we were away. She handled a daily medication, cleaned the litter box and reported to us how everything went.”

“Mia took wonderful care of my cat while I was away and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. My cat is used to spending time outdoors and absolutely loves being outside so I really appreciated that she made sure he got plenty of sunshine every day, usually 30 minutes to an hour. Mia is communicative and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Throughout my cat’s stay I always felt reassured that he was in great hands. Since he stayed with her for nearly a month she even went the extra mile and bought him a few toys to help him feel more comfortable and at home. I highly recommend Mia to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter. I would absolutely trust her with my cat Mowgli again.”

About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve basically been around animals my whole life; dogs, cats, and a mix of everything else that comes with that! I’m really comfortable with all temperaments, breeds, and ages, whether it’s a high-energy dog that needs structure or a senior pet that needs a slower, more patient approach. I’ve trained dogs before and I understand how they communicate through behavior and body language, which helps me read situations quickly and keep things calm and safe. I’m the type of person who doesn’t get overwhelmed easily with animals, and feel really comfortable with them! I treat every pet like they’re my own, with love, and application of knowledge of the breed. I’m usually available early mornings, in the day depending on my work schedule, evenings, and weekends. I’m pretty structured with my time, so when I commit to a pet, I will plan around them and make sure they’re not rushed or squeezed in. I’m used to balancing a busy schedule, and I always make pet care something I’m fully present for when I’m there! I’m big on safety and just being aware of what’s going on with the animal at all times. I follow instructions exactly, keep routines consistent, and pay attention to behavior changes, appetite, energy, and stress signals. I’m confident handling leashes, reactivity, and different personalities because I’ve been around animals long enough to stay calm in those situations. I also communicate clearly with updates and pictures so you’re never guessing how your pet is doing- you’ll know they’re safe, good, and taken care of.

“I gave a five star review. She responded quickly she was more than kind and professional. She took care of my dog needs and was on time I definitely recommend!”

About: I just moved here from Chicago to start a position at UM! I’ve been an animal, especially dog and cat, person my entire life. Since leaving home, I’ve had to leave my puppies with my family during this transition. I miss them so dearly - I hope to find some families who have pets in need of some help. It will help me fulfill my need and love for animals, and I love to help others too. I worked at a dog kennel for 2+ years previously. Training, feeding, walking, and (my fav) playing with the pups! I feel confident in my ability to take care of any dog - big or small, energetic or sleepy. I have learned the skills to create a safe, trustworthy, and stable environment for you and your pets. I’m currently working full-time and the University of Miami - but my job allows for a lot of flexibility as a lot of my work is online. I’m completely free every afternoon after 5pm and open every weekend, but throughout the day I have the flexibility for potty breaks and walks. I have a lovely dog park right next to my apartment building complex, as well as ample space in my 650sq ft apartment to escape the heat and still play. I could play and pet with dogs/dogs all day . The most important part about your pets experience is their safety, and you, the owner having peace of mind that you will pick them up happy and healthy! Before any visit, I would like to prioritize discussing your dog needs, and your needs to ensure that you know your pets is in good hands.

“Friendly and Reliable. I recommend Aya!”
