Cat Sitting in Sycamore Springs

“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.”

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.

“Andrea is great! I am always nervous about leaving my pets, but I know if Andrea is watching them I have nothing to worry about. Her response time is fantastic, whether it be a request for sitting or to answer any question or concern I may have. She sends pictures each day along with a message of how your pet is doing. I’ve tried about five other pet sitters since moving to Murrieta in 2017. None of them even come close to the exceptional care and service Andrea provides. Both pets and pet parents won’t be disappointed! I only hope that she stays in this line of business for many years to come.”

“Yuliya is now the only person I will leave my BooBerry with when I want to go out of town. She was so accommodating with the schedule. She is very clean and conscientious with litter and feedings and cleaning my kitty’s fresh water fountain, I couldn’t have chosen someone better. If I’m not home “Yuliya” was the best replacement for me in Boo’s eyes and the proof is in the pictures she sent me daily. She was even able to give Boo a quick brushing a couple times in the week I was gone. I didn’t have to wonder about anything regarding BooBerry. I am so thankful to Yuliya, she even watered a couple of small orchids for me, which is so appreciated! 😊 Getting to my property is a bit cumbersome because we are a gated community. Normally to get to get in here, you need to put in a code at the keypad with the front gate and I would get a phone call wherever I am, so I could let her in from my own phone but with the cell service spotty where I was on vacation. I couldn’t take the chance of Yuliya not being to get in to take care of Boo. We were able to get her own temporary code to allow her to come in the times we agreed on. If there had been an emergency like an earthquake or wild fire. Yuliya would be able to get in here to to get Boo with her cat carrier, and instructions on who to call in my family that live a 1 1/2 hours away so they could get here to take responsibility for Boo. She understands cats. 🐱 That was the most important part for me. Like I wrote, I would choose her again in heart beat. I have no hesitations for her to come into my home and look after one of the most precious souls in my life. She took the kitty litter clumps to the trash daily so the house didn’t smell when I walked in. Yuliya gave me daily written updates so I knew what was going on, so I could enjoy my cruise. She has a knack with cats. Obviously they aren’t dogs, which I I love dogs, but the truth is most cats are slower to warm to a new person and trust peopl. Yuliya was happy to meet us beforehand so Boo knew of Yuliya). She coaxed Boo out from behind the couch the first day I was gone but became fast friends. She had pictures of my Boo playing with her, If Yuliya ever needed a personal reference, she has a full recommendation from me and Boo. See you next time!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and for the past 13 years I’ve been consistently caring for my own pups. Over the years I’ve worked with just about every breed you can imagine: Terriers, Huskies, Dobermans, Pitbulls, Boxers, Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Labs, Schnauzers, Poodles, Pomeranians, Border Collies, German Shepherds, Great Pyrenees, and more. No matter the size, age, or personality, I love getting to know each dog and what makes them happiest. At home, my wife and I share life with two Huskies and a cat, who we treat like our kids (yes birthdays and all!). Because I know how important our pets are to us, I extend the same level of love, patience, and care to every pet I look after. I come prepared with tandem leashes, a pet stroller, and standard leashes for walks of all kinds. I always pick up after your pup and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and enjoying their time outside. For peace of mind, I’ve completed First Aid & CPR training (through both college and my career), and I stay up-to-date on general emergency response. While my certifications are human-focused, my training has given me the ability to quickly assess situations and take action; whether that means recognizing signs of overheating, making sure hydration is available, or adjusting for temperature and activity levels. I’m also OSHA certified, which means safety and awareness are second nature to me. Your pets will be in caring, capable hands, and I’ll treat them like my own from the moment we meet. I currently work a full-time government job. My wife is a teacher, so our lives are pretty busy. I am looking to do this as a part-time and enjoy combining a few things I enjoy: pets and exercise. Current Schedule: I get up around Noon, on the days I work (Wed, Thurs, Friday, Sat, Sun) I work from 6PM to 6AM. I will only accept care appointments between 1PM and 4:30PM. On Monday and Tuesday I will accept care appointments between 1PM and 6PM. Currently boarding is off the tables since my wife and I are busy. But I can make drop-in visits! In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they always have access to fresh water, healthy food on schedule, clean bedding, and plenty of love and attention. I keep playtime safe but fun, and I’m mindful of the temperature, hydration, and overall comfort of every pet in my care. My own pets get birthday celebrations, vitamins, and daily exercise, and I extend that same level of care to visiting pets. In a client’s home, I respect your routines and follow instructions closely so your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. That means sticking to feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes or outdoor areas, refreshing water bowls, and making sure walks, playtime, and cuddle time happen as you prefer. I also handle clean-up (messes, accidents, fur, or litter) so your home is just as you left it. My goal in either setting is to keep pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in capable and loving hands.

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: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs and I always get along with them and make sure their needs are met. I have my own dog who is 11 years old and needs special care. I know how gentle to be with older pets and people can always rely on me to help with their pet sitting needs! I am willing to accommodate any special needs and make sure the pets are safe and happy under my care. I currently have a full time job, but I am completely available for any pet sitting needs on the weekends! I am also available any time after 4 on the weekdays for drop in visits. I will be respectful to the homes I visit to care for any pets. I am a very reliable and honest person and will constantly look out for the safety of your pets and also my safety.

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!”

Amy C.

“Edgar went above and beyond to help me with caring for my Dad's cats while he was hospitalized. He sent daily updates with photos provided updates and worked with me during a difficult time. I would schedule Edgar to care for my animals every time.”

“Couldn't have asked for a better sitter. This was our first time leaving our cats with a sitter, but everything worked out better than expected. Monica kept us up-to-date with texts and photos, and was even able to give our cat Julio his vitamins, which we have trouble doing. The house was as immaculate as when we left. We will definitely give her a call again soon. Great job!”

Steve P.

“Cyrissa, did a great job taking care of our three cats. My main concern was our new kitten and she made sure she was given the attention needed. We will definitely use her again. She was prompt and communicated with us in a timely manner.”

About: **Before booking.... I work full time Mon - Thurs during the day and half day on Fri, and I am not home during that time. I am available any time after I get off of work. If your baby(ies) are ok being in a crate all day, while I am at work, I don't have a problem keeping them during the day as well. Saturday and Sunday I am available all day.** For some reason this site doesn't show this information. I have grown up around and have been around dogs my whole life. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and ages. Some breeds I have experience with are Pit Bulls, Boxers, Mini Pins, Chihuahua, Blue Healer, Dingo, and the list goes on! The last office job I had also included dog sitting for the owner and his wife's dogs. They kept me good company and visa versa. Dogs put me in a happy place and are a good stress relief as well for me. Some of my friends call me the dog whisperer. I seem to give the dogs with anxiety a sense of ease when I am around them. I love to pet them and rub around their favorite spots that relax them. I.E, ears, belly, and neck. Sometimes I tend to find myself talking to them like they are a little baby lol I did have a fur baby living with me, but unfortunately I had to put him down at the end of Dec, 2021. I work full time Mon - Thurs during the day and half day on Fri and I am not at home during that time. I am available any time after I get off of work. If your baby(ies) are ok being in a crate all day, while I am at work, I don't have a problem keeping them during the day as well. Saturday and Sunday I am available all day. I have a brick wall around the back area of my home, so it is hard for your fur baby to escape. I also have a doggie door for small dogs. I treat your babies just like I would treat mine, with lots of love and attention.

About: I’ve trained and taken care of my own and others pets since I was younger. Trustworthy and reliable. I have house sat for families with all kinds of pets while they are on vacation. I’m very excited to to meet and love your pets :) I’m currently available pretty much any day of the week except Sunday mornings so I have a very flexible schedule. I can accommodate to your needs. I’m good with all size dogs so anything isn’t too much to handle. When it comes to boarding I have a fenced in yard and the ability to crate if needed. I have dogs of my own so they’ll have plenty of play time.

“Great service and really showed lots of care for my animal, and was patient with the pick up and drop off situation. Also kept me updated on how eris was doing while staying with them, thanks so much!!”

“Breeanna is amazing! She takes excellent care of my cats and is very communicative. We are able to have worry free trips because we know we can trust Breeanna to take care of our fur babies. Thank you so much!”
