Cat Sitting in Sycamore Hills

“This was my first time using Rover and I'm so glad I found Katrina! She took great care of my elderly kitty who requires medication and sent me pictures and updates after each visit to let me know how he was doing. It was very comforting knowing that he was well taken care of while we were away! I will definitely use Katrina again.”

“I cannot recommend Andrea enough! She was beyond thorough and incredibly communicative throughout her time caring for our pets. I truly appreciated her daily check-ins and the adorable photos she sent, which gave us peace of mind. She asked thoughtful questions to ensure she could provide the best care possible and went above and beyond in her duties. Her sweet demeanor was evident, and I’m confident our pets genuinely enjoyed her company. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: I’ve cared for animals since childhood—dogs, cats, a hamster, fish, and a bird. My first job was as a vet tech, and I’ve raised over a dozen of my own pets. I’m experienced in walking, playing with, administering medications, providing comfort, and showing genuine love. I connect naturally with animals of all kinds and provide care with patience and kindness. I’m available full-time, including weekends, and currently have a flexible schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I love caring for all kinds of pets and offer services like dog walking, pet sitting, medication administration, playtime, and more. You can count on me to provide loving, dependable care that makes your pet feel happy and safe. I currently provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets feel most safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep the space tidy and secure, and make sure pets feel calm, loved, and cared for. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or just keeping them company, I aim to make their day feel as normal and happy as possible while you're away.

“Angeline is the sweetest most loving caregiver. She took amazing care of my Shadow and I think when I walked through the front door yesterday he was hoping it was her ❤️”

About: Hello! I was born in Europe, Belarus, so have been surrounded by cats my entire life, caring for them since I was a child. My love and respect for cats runs deep; I admire their sense of independence, intelligence, and unique, rich personalities. I grew up in a multi-cat household, first with tabby rescues, and later with a Siberian and a Bombay. I currently care for both of them; Ophelia (my picky, high-class Siberian) and Ebbi (my playful, excitable Bombay rescue). They’ve taught me how to adjust to different feline temperaments, needs, and boundaries with patience and understanding. I never force interaction, I always let the cat lead. If a cat prefers space, I care for them quietly from a respectful distance. If they’re social, I kneel to their level, offer my hand, and wait for permission to connect. I truly believe every cat deserves to feel safe, understood, and respected in their own home. My strengths include caring for shy or particular cats, reading body language, and building trust slowly and gently. I’m not here just to scoop litter and go, I’m here to provide calm, loving care tailored to each cat’s comfort zone. (I live in Hemet but I also have flexible access to Oceanside on a daily basis, so I can easily reach beyond Hemet’s location to get to your kitty!) My skills include: - Lifelong feline care (15+ years) - Senior cat experience - At least month-old kitten experience - Rescue cat socialization - Respectful, cat-led interaction experience Services I do not provide: - Dog-sitting - Administering injections or complex medications I am currently unemployed, so the only way I will be able to get busy is if my schedule is filled with the duty of taking care of your little kitties! I am available for the entire week, weekends included, I can easily drop-in the day after a booking request if it is local. I live flexibly with my mother in Oceanside as well, so I can easily come and pet-sit your kitty from a farther location as necessary, as long as I hear from you at least 2 days in advance! I do not have a busy schedule, rarely plan for any trips, leave my home, or get busy. I have graduated, and I do not work or volunteer anywhere else, so I would be more than ready to come and visit your cat or cats at any time! First and foremost when it comes to cat care in another client's home, I need to be able to know their preferences and routines! Cats are very picky about their routine, and if it is broken they may get stressed out. I respect details when it comes to taking care of your kitty: whether they prefer kibble or wet food, if they take small snacks, if they need to be played with, or if they get fussy when their litterbox is not filled the right way. Please let me know if your cat is shy or outgoing, allowed outside or strictly indoors, or if there are off-limits areas in the home (I know some clever kitties will try to trick me into opening a “forbidden” door!). The more I know about your cat’s habits and personality, the better I can provide calm, respectful care tailored just for them.

About: ⸻ From fluffy pups to feathery hens—and even a turtle or two—I’ve cared for them all! With years of hands-on experience raising dogs, cats, chickens, quail, and turtles, I bring a whole lot of love, know-how, and fun to every pet I watch. No matter the species, they’re in good hands (and likely a few happy wiggles or tail wags too)! Pet care fits right into my day like it’s second nature. I make sure to carve out time for walks, feedings, and play so every pet gets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a quick midday visit or an evening hangout, I keep things easygoing and fun while sticking to their usual routine. Basically, pets and their needs are just part of my everyday vibe. I take pet safety and comfort very seriously, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs. In my home, I maintain a clean, secure, and calm environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I ensure all spaces are pet-proofed to prevent accidents, with safe toys and plenty of fresh water and food. When I care for pets in their own home, I respect their familiar surroundings and routines, which helps reduce their stress. I follow any specific instructions closely—from feeding schedules to medication—and keep doors, gates, and windows secure at all times. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates to owners to build trust and keep everyone comfortable. No matter where I care for pets, their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Shaheide and I am a pre-veterinary student. I’ve own dogs since I was 7 years old. I recently moved out of my home where all my family pets are and I deeply miss them. Just hanging out with them on the couch or taking them for their daily walks. I understand how much love and trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and because of that I treat every animal as if it is my own. I treat pets with kindness and patience because I believe they deserve to feel safe and loved even when their owners aren’t home. I’ve helped whelp puppies and raised them. I’m experienced in giving dogs any medication that they may need. I can bathe them as well. Aside from having my own animals, I’ve also help other care for their own. My neighbors knew me as the animal lover, if they need someone to watch their pets, they would come to me, and I gladly did it. I’m currently unemployed and only going to school on Tuesday’s starting September 2nd. I have open availability to care for your pet or pets !! :) I live in an apartment so I don’t have a backyard, but it’s a big complex with lots of walking space, and even a fenced dog park!! I can crate the dog if needed. I know it takes a lot of trust leaving your pet with someone else but I promise, I will treats them as my own!

About: I'm an animal mom and lifelong animal lover with hands on experience caring for both large and small dogs, high energy pups, anxious dogs, and cats. I understand how to approach each pet with patience, love, and attentiveness. What sets me apart is that I’m happy to run with your dog upon request. Perfect for pups who need to burn some extra energy! I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I recently moved to the area and was looking for something meaningful and enjoyable to do with my free time. Caring for animals gives me purpose, keeps me active, and genuinely brings me joy. I love getting outside, going on walks, and spending time with pets it’s a great way to feel connected while doing something I truly enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all routines and instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they have fresh water, food, and plenty of love whether that means playtime, walks, quiet company, or giving medication. I always respect your space and leave it clean and just as I found it. If I were to care for pets in my home, I would provide a safe, calm environment with constant supervision and affection to help them feel right at home.

About: My house has been full of animals for all of my life, including dogs, cats, ferrets, lizards, rats/rodents, snakes, spiders, fish, etc! I have had experience with all kinds of dog breeds and temperaments, and was given praise by a local dog shelter for calming down and disciplining dogs in distress. I am running on a very flexible schedule and want to work with you! I just graduated and am looking to sustain myself while following my passions for art. I am constantly aware of the whereabouts of the animals I am caring for to be able to keep them safe and free of trouble. I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior and safe collar grab techniques to calm down a dog in distress.

“Marissa is the best! She’s very thorough and so sweet with our cats. She goes above and beyond by sending us photos and cleaning up as needed- we appreciate her so much!”

“This past weekend my fiancé and I left town to attend our wedding. We were extremely concerned about who we could entrust to watch over our two beautiful kitties Henry & Ethel. You see, I am not a normal person in the sense that I am incredibly protective of my little babies, and I am very particular about how they are cared for. After searching Rover we found Monica and asked about her availability, and I must say this was the best decision we ever made. Monica took time out to come meet our babies and discuss the services she offered. We were blown away by her level of professionalism. Monica also carries extensive credentials and experience, which helped put our minds at ease while we were away. While we were away Monica spent her days and nights caring for our kitties. She routinely went above and beyond the call of duty. Monica checked in with us regularly to let us know how our little ones were doing, which was absolutely fantastic! In addition to all of her amazing services, credentials, and professionalism Monica is a pure animal lover who enjoys caring for people’s furry family members. Our kitties felt completely at home and comfortable with Monica from the moment they met her. In the future we will exclusively use Monica for all of our cat-care needs. We fully suggest that anyone in the market for these types of services look no further than Monica. Sincerely, A Crazy Cat Dad & his new bride”
