Cat Sitting Thornburg

“This was our first time using Rover and Amanda was great! Her updates were thorough and we felt like our cats were in good hands while we were away.”

About: I have been taking care of neighbors, friends, & family pets since I was in middle school. I own two very unique cats, Daemon & Love that i adore & keep me busy sometimes. I love taking dogs or cats on walks. I used to love having my dog go on a run with me, but she has long since passed away. She wasn't the best at some dog commands from training, but she did enjoy getting a treat when she did listen. My work schedule is flexible during the week due to my level. I typically can come anytime in the early morning to about 10am & then evenings after 6pm. If someone is very close by, I can stop over during a lunch break as well around 2pm. I live in a two story condo, so my cats typically have run of my house. I adapt to anyone's preferences & home environment to care for their family fur baby to make sure they are comfortable while someone ia away.

“We're extremely happy with Rebekah taking care of our "girls!" Especially since our Trixie needs medication and is a bit skittish until she gets to know you. This is our 2nd vacation that Rebekah has care for them, in 2 months. Thanks to Rebekah it's been possible.”

About: **My Dog Care Experience 🐶🐾** Dogs have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember! My love for dogs began in second grade when I got my first dog, and that love has continued to grow ever since. I’m now the proud pet parent of my own dog of 7 years, who is very loved, spoiled, and pampered! I know firsthand that dogs are family, and they deserve to be treated with the same love, patience, and attention we give our own. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for and watching multiple dogs at a time. I’m comfortable providing attentive, reliable, and timely care while making sure each dog receives the attention they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, or sticking to a specific routine, I understand how important consistency and individualized care are for keeping dogs happy and comfortable. I know that leaving your furry family member with someone else requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing with their favorite toys, getting endless belly rubs, or simply relaxing with some company, I’m happy to make their time with me as enjoyable as possible! Your dog will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and care! ❤️🐕 **Pet Care That Fits My Schedule 🐾** I currently have a busy weekday schedule, but I’m happy to dedicate my available time to caring for your furry family members! I’m available on weekends, Tuesdays after 6:00 PM, and Fridays after 5:00 PM. I strive to be reliable, punctual, and attentive to your pet’s needs, and I’m happy to coordinate in advance to find a time that works best for both of us. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care while ensuring your pet’s routine and comfort remain a priority! I provide attentive, loving, and dependable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. In my clients’ homes, I follow their instructions closely to maintain consistency with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and any other agreed-upon care needs. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment while their owners are away. As a pet parent myself, I understand that pets are family! I have my own dog of seven years who is very loved and pampered, and I treat every pet in my care with that same level of attention and affection. I prioritize safety, patience, and communication with pet parents, including updates and photos so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. My goal is to make sure every pet receives reliable, individualized care and plenty of love while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine.

“Sarah is the BEST! She took such great care of our two cats while we were away. She was incredibly professional, communicative and has a clear love of animals. Our cats took to her immediately and we enjoyed getting daily pics of her playing and snuggling with them. She even went above and beyond and helped water the plants and bring in the mail. We will 100% use Sarah as a cat sitter moving forward. Can’t recommend her enough!! ??”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a genuine love for animals. I have a dog of my own who I care for and have trained, along with the dogs I’ve grown up with. I especially enjoy working with puppies and high-energy dogs, and I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will treat your pup like my own and provide them with the same love, attention, and care they deserve! I’m a registered nurse and typically work three 12-hour shifts per week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability on my days off. While my schedule can vary slightly from week to week, I try to keep consistent shifts whenever possible. I typically have availability both during the week and on weekends. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when it comes to your pets, so I’m happy to work with you to coordinate a schedule that best fits you and your pet’s needs! I have a friendly dog of my own and live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of outdoor space for walks, exercise, and playtime, including an on-site dog park. Although I don’t have a fenced-in yard, there are plenty of areas for your pup to get outside, burn off energy, and enjoy some fresh air. I also have a crate available if needed, and my own dog is crate-trained and comfortable being crated. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes! My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while in my care. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s individual needs, whether that means maintaining their usual feeding schedule, providing plenty of walks and playtime, administering extra attention, or giving them a little extra time to adjust to a new environment. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’ll do my best to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Your pet will always be treated like family!

About: Hi there, Im Karlie and I offer dependable, loving dog walking and pet-sitting services. As a lifelong dog owner, I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and a passion for caring for them. I currently have a 10yr old Husky-Shepherd mix of my own, so I understand the love, patience, and attention our furry family members deserve. I’m reliable, nurturing, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away or busy. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own! I’m currently working part time as a hairstylist, Im relatively new to Pittsburgh and am slowly rebuilding a clientele. This allows for pockets of free time during the work week as well as some weekdays off so I can be available to check on your pets while you’re working or check in on them during a weekend trip away. I am well versed in pet safety and have plenty of experience in creating a safe and welcoming environment so you and your pet can feel at ease.

“Nicole is the sweetest human, genuinely loves our baby Neil and is so good with reassurance and pictures during our trips giving us the ability to relax knowing he is in a good home being loved. She is the only person o trust to leave our kitty with when we go away for long periods of time .”

“Caitlyn was an excellent sitter for my two kitties. She responded quickly & was able to accommodate a last minute booking. Definitely would book again. Thanks Caitlyn! (Also the pictures were adorable!! ☺️)”

About: Hi! I'm a responsible home owner, cat owner and former dog foster mom with a flexible schedule! I grew up with tons of pets, from hamsters to hermit crabs and collies to calicos, so I'm comfortable around a variety of animals. In addition, being a homeowner and cat owner, I know what it takes to care for fur babies and their space while keeping things clean and safe for everyone. I have experience administering medicine to cats, walking large dogs with a Gentle Leader, caring for senior dogs, and keeping kittens/puppies away from harmful areas. I recently left my full-time job and am looking for fulfilling jobs away from the office environment. All this to say, I have open availability and a flexible schedule! I recently left my corporate job and therefore have a pretty flexible schedule. I'm happy to stop in to your home and/or stay there to ensure your pet gets the best hands-on care and attention. Because of having my own two cats, I prefer to care for your pets in your home. I can take them on walks if needed or let them run around the yard. Safety is a priority, so you can trust that I'll be conscious about food, objects, open doors, stairs, etc. to ensure there are no mishaps!

“Great service and very responsive before during and after. Always kept us updated to date and respectful of our time and home. Kept us informed with our pets and cared for them as if they were her own. Highly recommend”

About: Thank you for considering me! I’m new to Rover, but for me, animals have always been family. Growing up, I was responsible for taking care of my family’s two dogs. I would walk, feed, and play with them on a consistent schedule. Nowadays, I have four cats with my fiancée and I’m loving every minute of being a pet parent! My top priorities as your pet sitter are safety, communication, and comfort. I want you to feel at ease knowing that your animals are in good hands, just as I want your pets to be comfortable with me checking in on them. I will always respect any boundaries, especially with shy/reserved animals! I have a full time job in Bellevue, where I work 8am-4pm Monday thru Friday. I am able to drop in before and after my shifts, as well as anytime on weekends! Dog walks are better suited for after my work shifts. I’d only be available for House sitting typically from Friday evenings to Sunday evenings/Monday mornings, although don’t hesitate to reach out as it’s possible we could get something coordinated. Communication is key! Safety is huge for me. Having multiple pets that are escape artists has taught me to be very vigilant when opening our front door. Your pet’s safety is my top priority!

“Chelsea was amazing and helped me out at the last minute when I really needed someone. She was incredibly responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated throughout the visit and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her!”

About: I have watched friends dogs in the past by taking them for walks during the day or letting them out when needed. I love all animals and will always give my best and love your pet like my own. I am available mornings Monday - Thursday before 10a and Fridays after 10a. Weekends depend but if I know ahead I can plan around anything scheduled. I am respectful and will do what you ask of me and feel is best for your cats. I also promise to love your cats as my own when I am taking care of them. I am more than willing to take pictures and send consistent updates!

About: Before Rover I didn’t have much experience with dogs if I’m being honest. The only experience I had prior with a dog was a baby pitbull and that was for about a year. That being said, despite the lack of experience I had, I have gained more experience from caring for dogs on Rover. My love for animals in general is why I am open to continue learning. I will still provide the same love, care and affection for a dog as I would a cat. My daily and weekly routine is very open for pet care. I am currently on maternity leave so I have lots of availability throughout my days. I treat them like their family and not strangers or “just for the money type of thing”. If the client has special requests as far as how they would want their pet taken care of, I would follow those requests and update the clients along the way.

“Alivia was great and took wonderful care of our Nomar! We were gone for 8 days and she stayed at our house the whole time… and sent updates on him! We really appreciated her!! 🤍”

“There is no rating high enough for Sarah. From pre-booking to the home visit, to watching our home and our fur babies while we were on vacation, Sarah was amazing. Her situation was unique that in addition to taking care of our adult cats, we asked her to take care of a (somewhat friendly) mama cat and her 5 week old kittens. Sarah graciously offered her time for 24/7 care. And of course, just when we thought all was going smoothly, a hornet appeared in our finished basement which is unusual. This is where mama and babies are located. Then another one appeared - VERY unusual. When the third one appeared, not so far from the kittens, Sarah sprang into action and, together, we figured out a safe solution to draw any potential bees inside the home to outside the home. Sarah was a real trooper and took care of the home and pets like they were her own. No more bees appeared and life returned to “normal”. Well, as normal as can be for a home with cats and kittens. I can vouch for Sarah and she will be our first choice for future house and pet care needs. Sarah is friendly, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator and our fur babies loved her.”

About: I’m not just someone who “likes dogs”. I grew up with a Golden Retriever. From puppy energy to senior comfort, I’ve been around it all. I’ve also cared for larger, strong-willed breeds like a Rhodesian Ridgebacks and cane corsos…so I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities. Whether your dog needs structure, patience, or just someone who can match their energy, I adapt to what they need. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I pay attention to routines, behavior changes, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have been a caretaker and dog sitter for a few years. Needless to say, taking care of people’s loved-ones comes second nature to me. My night shift schedule at the VA allows me to be available all day to give your pet the attentive care that he/she needs including keeping them company, letting them out for potty breaks, walks,feeds,etc. With house-sitting, I will leave your home the way you left it. I will ensure that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-fed. I will observe your pets closely. If I notice anything “off” about your pets, you will be notified immediately so that appropriate action is taken if needed.

“Rachel was a great help when I had to spontaneously leave town for a family thing. She was quick to respond and understanding of the fact that we couldn't meet in person! She took good care of my kitties while I was away. I definitely recommend you work with her if you ever need pet-caring help!”

“Hillary is the absolute best. She sent me pics of my fur babies everyday and really bonded with Smalls and Dot. I would totally recommend her for any pet sitting job.”
