Cat Sitting in Sweet Home

“Mary has been wonderful with our elderly shih tzu. He doesn't like many people but she put him at ease and he is able to relax during her daily visits with him. Couldn't be more grateful for the peace of mind she gives us every day!”

Ashley S.

“Thank you Kara for taking care of Gabby! She loved her visits very much. She’s a happy girl! Appreciate your posting photos of her playing and walking. We’ll book with you again when we are here.”

“Jennifer checked in on my two senior cats for a week and we couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. Both my cats are on medication and with their age I worry about them constantly. Jennifer was great, I was very comfortable leaving them in her hands. She was excellent with communication, send pictures and volunteered her time to come over once before we left town. Would be happy to hire her again!”

“Ms. De did such a great job taking of my fur baby, Nala. She was prompt, provided updates after each visit, and sent pictures everyday.”

“Lourdes did a drop in visit for us and was great! Def would recommend her for your fur babies.”

About: I have years of experience with rescue dogs in various states of health. All of my dogs have been rescues from a senior who just needed a home for her last months (which turned into two wonderful years) to puppies born in a shelter and everything in between. I love the puppy cuddles but have a firm guiding personality which dogs seem to respect. I have my own two dogs - a senior I rescued at 3 month old who has been all over the country and even to Guam with me and a new rescue puppy. We do walk on the morning, in the afternoon, and the evening plus they have full access to the backyard anytime they need it through the dog door. My 5 year old loves playing with the dogs throughout the day as well. I stay at home with my children so the dogs always have someone with them unless I need to run a quick errand. I have a fenced yard and two well behaved (the puppy is learning) friendly puppies. My dogs are kennel trained and my senior dog prefers laying in hers unless treats are being handed out. The puppy gallops around like the kids and enjoys fetch. I would treat your dogs like my own with any special requests honored.

“Michelle has been so great with our dogs! We trust her completely and feel so comfortable with her dropping by to check on them. She went out of her way to come by and meet them to make sure everything would go smoothly while we were gone! She even turned the heat up at night for our dogs because we asked her to and brought in our packages! We will always use her from now on. Oh, and she sends lots of pictures which I loveee!”

“Lauren always does a wonderful job watching my cat, Minnie, when I’m out of town! Lauren is communicative, sends lots of photos, and makes sure Minnie is cared for when I’m gone.”

“Danielle took wonderful care of Hunter while I was away on vacation. She made sure he was safe, well-fed, and showed him genuine love and affection. I felt completely at ease knowing Hunter was in such caring hands. I’d highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

About: I've been taking care of various specifies of animals throughout my life from energetic dogs and skittish cats, to pampered rodents, and fascinating arthopods. I am looking for other work positions at the moment and will update my schedule when that happens but I'm basically free whenever as long as I have a heads up ahead of time I have a smallish-medium completely fenced yard with a doggy door, four super chill cats and two 9 month old puppies at my house. One of the puppies is a little loud and skittish but completely harmless and will usually stay completely separate if he can't chill out (he literally just screams but isn't aggressive). I can stay overnights at the owners home and will provide my own food for myself, I do not require a guess room and can sleep on the couch just fine.

“Samantha was such a great cat sitter! She was friendly and experienced and clearly took very good care of our cat. She communicated great and sent awesome pictures. Can’t wait to use her services again!!!”

About: I have worked in 2 different boarding facilities along with I interned and shadowed and vet for a year. I have lots of experience watching pets in my neighborhood as well as my own dog. Along with having experience with dogs and cats I have experience with horses and cows and being on a ranch. I currently work for a mobile horse vet. I go to college but besides that I am home pretty much all the time and can fit your pet into my day very easily I have a fenced in yard, along with a big house. Room for dog crate or cat crate if they sleep in one along with the house is very clean and nothing for the pet to get in to

About: I've had a strong passion for animals since I was very young, and I've spent years caring for them whenever I had the chance. Visiting zoos, animal shelters, and spending time with friends' pets eventually led me to start pet sitting and dog walking at a young age as well. Through over a decade of hands on experience, personal research, and owning reptiles, cats, and other small species, I've learned how to care for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, rodents, fish, and even insects and snails. I combine compassion, patience, and responsibility to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for according to their individual needs. I’m especially knowledgeable about cats and very familiar with canine body language. I also care for stray cats in my neighborhood, which has given me even more experience understanding animal behavior and building trust with shy or nervous pets. However, I’m committed to providing the same level of attentive care to every animal I work with. I’m comfortable with most ages, sizes, and species of pets, excluding bottle babies and giant dog breeds. Please let me know in advance if your pet has severe aggression, medical concerns, or special care instructions, and provide emergency contact information for a veterinarian or trusted person if needed. I can help with everything from walks and playtime to feeding, cleanup, litter boxes, and poop scooping. I understand that pet care can sometimes be messy, and I’m patient with accident-prone animals. Animal care is something I genuinely care deeply about, and I always strive to provide an experience that leaves both pets and owners feeling happy, comfortable, and confident. I look forward to meeting you and your animals! I’m currently available to provide care any day of the week, including holidays unless stated otherwise, just ask! While I prefer not to stay overnight with new clients right away, I’m happy to adapt by arriving early or staying later if needed. For regular clients and pets I’ve become more familiar with, we may be able to arrange longer consecutive stays or overnight care. I’m also pretty flexible and can usually adapt to last minute requests, so feel free to reach out and we can try to work something out. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos during visits if you’d like them as well. I will give my full attention and care to both your pet and your home. I’m willing to go above and beyond to keep your pet comfortable and your home clean and mess-free. I keep food dishes clean, toys picked up, and always make sure all doors, windows, and gates are properly locked and secured before leaving your home. I can carefully follow any special instructions provided, and I will care for your animals with the same love, patience, and attention to detail that I give to my own.

“Robyn was great. We got stranded by weather circumstances and she continued to visit our pets until we could get home two days later. Competent and efficient and the kitties were happy and purring upon our return”

About: I've grown up owning cats and dogs my whole life. At 14 my mom got me my own cat which was my responsibility to care for. I'm still loving and caring for her now at 25. Because my cat has medical issues relating to allergies, I am experienced in administering various types of medication to cats. I don't currently own a dog but I do help with feeding and walking for my roommate's dog. I am working part-time in New Braunfels. I usually work in the mornings and am done around 3 or 4. I would be available for drop-in visits before and after work. I am available for house-sitting during the weekends. I can care for your animals in your home. I think communication is important to ensure that both your pet and I have a fun and safe experience. I will feed and walk them to your specifications and change water daily.

“Stacey was excellent in every aspect during her drop in visits with our three dogs and cats. She kept a very close eye on a skin irritation that had developed on one our dogs and she updated us with pics daily. She was truly concerned with the health of our pets. We could not recommend her more. She is fantastic.”

About: I had a German shepherd since she was 3 months. I crate trained, clicker trained her, and knew all commands, clicker trained off a leash which adapted to finger snapping and she'd return, everyone loved her! I work a full-time job weekdays and am free after 3, weekends off. So on my time off, I used to spent it with my dog with walks, parks, skating while she pulls me and home play time! I will care for your pets as if they were my own. My dog Camila past away recently, so I would want to continue the love I have for her to your own and live on.

“I couldn't ask for a better experience with Tim. He was attentive, responsive, and carried out my (borderline unreasonable) instructions to the letter. My two cats took to him right away. (They trust nearly nobody; I was amazed by their immediate comfort with a new person.) Tim provided me with daily updates and I had no worries about their care while I was away. In short, Tim and Rover made me able to enjoy my vacation. Tim is my go-to for future sitting, full stop.”

“Great service! Took really good care of my two dogs. Daily visit reports were very detail and informative. Would 100% recommend! I will book again!”

About: **CATS ONLY** Due to severe allergies, I can only provide care, sits, and visits for cats. Rover does not currently permit me to use neutral or feline language. You'll see in the Additional Dog Details section, I answer some questions about "senior dog care" or "dog first aid," but each of those answers should be interpreted as the care I am competent to provide for cats only. I am unavailable for any and all care involving dogs or homes shared with dogs. I like dogs very much, but my lungs sadly do not, so any requests involving dogs will be politely declined. Kindly proceed with that understanding. An affectionate and detail-oriented cat carer, I enjoy the process of getting to know new cats and discovering their personalities. I have held a lifelong love for cats since the surprise birth of an entire litter in my parents' bathroom when I was just six years old. It wasn't until the pandemic that I shared a living space with friends and came to love and care for their super senior cat, Stormy. As her medical needs changed, I kept up and discovered a joy for the enrichment and companionship I could provide to an aging cat. Since then, I have worked with up to three cats at a time. They have ranged from the ages of 1-19. I have, successfully and with minimal distress for the cats, administered oral, topical, and subcutaneous medications. I provide exercise and stimulation through playtime, bonding through grooming, and companionship through quality time spent together (overnight sits). Medicating cats goes well for me, I believe, because I take plenty of time to get to know each cat. I learn their boundaries and expectations. I learn what they're comfortable letting their parents do versus what they will permit me to do. I frequently speak with the cats and explain the process of what I am doing. Of course, they don't understand me perfectly, but you'd be surprised what they do understand from tone and body language. Whether you're looking for overnight support for your still-bonding pair or daily medication doses for your senior cat during your summer getaway, I'm more than happy to help. Let's start by scheduling a Meet & Greet, and especially if you'd like your cats medical needs attended to, let's meet at your home. This allows me to greet your cat with you present. That goes a long way when we are alone and its time for them to accept a pill from me. I am available for bookings and meet & greets during and shortly after office hours, or roughly 8am-7pm Monday through Sunday. If you contact me after those hours, I may be available on an infrequent basis or I will get back to you once business hours resume. For the actual cat sits or drop-in visits, my schedule is largely available through weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I regularly update my calendar. I am entirely unavailable for dog care due to severe allergies, so any and all requests for households with dogs in them will be politely declined. Our household cat is not comfortable meeting new cats. Because of this, I will always come to your home and care for your cat there. I am detail oriented, so I will mind your security instructions to the letter to keep your cats safe and sound. It is best to notify me of any alarm codes, key locations, or gate passcodes at our first meeting.
