Cat Sitting in Thrift

“Steve was wonderful! He made sure our boys we're taken care of and took the time to write great notes about his visits. I could tell that he is a lover of all animals and would not hesitate to book him again. 5 stars!”

About: I absolutely adore every single animal I have had the pleasure of watching! From training puppies to carrying seniors down stairs, cuddling with love bugs to providing a safe space for anxious doggies, lazing around with couch potatoes to going on runs with pups who have endless energy. I have seen it all, and I love it all. I want your friend(s) to feel happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away; I will do anything and everything to help them feel that way! Experience: I have had 3 amazing years on Rover! I don't plan to stop anytime soon, so you can be sure that I'm available whenever you need me. With my level of experience, I know what to expect, and more importantly, how to react. My time in the military has given me the skills I need to handle tasks under pressure. IF anything were to go wrong, you can trust that I will responsibly act in you and your pets' best interest. I have cared for over 35 families' and I have and will always provide dedicated and detailed service. I respect your home, your rules, and of course, your animals. Rover is my full-time job, so thankfully I am completely available to be friendly company for your furry (or maybe hairless) friends! I only ever leave the house 1-3 hours at a time for meals or errands. If I need to be gone longer, I will always check-in with pet parents, as your pets' needs come first! I am in the Air National Guard, so I have mandatory drill weekends; but I have marked those dates as unavailable on my calendar, so that should not pose a problem. About my rates: my rates are based off the wage I should be paid for my level of expertise - for a full day of work - as I am providing overnight care + staying in the home almost all day. They must also take into account the 20% Rover takes out of my paycheck + the taxes I have to pay on my income. I will fulfill all of your furry friends’ needs and wants! I want to keep your pups' routine the same, so they feel some sense of normalcy while you're gone. If you could please leave instructions on the daily care you would like me to provide: feeding/potty schedules, commands, what your pets like/dislike, etc. on paper or through messages, I would highly appreciate that! I am also experienced in reading dog and cat body language. If they have boundaries: no touching, no fast movements, don't like being pet in certain places -- I am skilled at reading and respecting those boundaries. If your pet does have boundaries like these, it's much better to let me know in advance though!

“My fur baby is not overly friendly. I didn’t think he would come out for Krystin but he did AND he let her pet him. I am amazed. Krystin has that something special pets sense. She is awesome!”

“Max was awesome! The perfect person to care for our kitty while we were away. He let us know when she was having a few issues, kept us updated with texts and pictures, and made sure our kitty had the best time possible while we were a way. Polite and courteous, great with our kitty.”

Zach L.

“So incredibly reliable and just a lovely person. Serenity visited my kitties every 2-3 days while we were away on vacation. She never missed a day and answered all of my ridiculous messages within the hour. Could not recommend a better sitter!”

Kaila C.

“Jasmine has been a fantastic pet sitter! She’s always so loving and affectionate with our cats, and for our recent trip when we had to start one of our cats on a new medication not long before we left, she was super accommodating about picking up the extra work and even offered to stay at ours to make it easier to give our cat his medication. Would definitely recommend her to anyone ❤️”

Alla H.

“Caitlyn did a wonderful job! She came before my trip to need Ophelia and learn what needed to be done and how to care for her. She showed up each evening on time and sent pictures , brought in package for me and let me know if anything was out of the norm! I highly recommend and will have her in the future!”

Suzanne K.

“Truly awesome sitter. Quick to respond and adapted to our situation when things were rapidly changing with the delivery of my son. Would absolutely recommend to others.”

Josh T.

“She was a helping hand in a trying time, we appreciate all of her assistance with Jax and Sylas. They also would like to thank her, “Meow meow”!”

Vincent B.

“She was great, friendly, responsive, and made sure my cats were stress free and loved while I was gone. Even though I cut my trip short, I would book with her again.”

“Norman took amazing care of our kitties this summer!! He is so great at communicating and making sure that everything is exactly right.”

Cleanliness and safety are very important to me, so those are things you'll never have to worry about. For at-home visits, I make it a priority to leave your space looking just as good, if not better than when I arrived. I'm always attentive to your pet's well being, making sure they are properly cared for, securely leashed during walks, and comfortable during any activities.

“Y’all, Kristal is the BEST. I messed up my dates and ended up out of town without a sitter. She showed up within 4 hours and saved me. She sent loads of pictures to ease my mind and was kind and playful with my kitty. It’s worth everything to know your pet is safe and happy and Kristal made that happen”

About: My name is Taylor and I am a veterinary technician servicing the DMV area. I have been working with dogs specifically since I was 15 and cats since I was 18. I personally have a cat and have had dogs in the past, and I understand the stress put on the importance of finding someone that you can trust to watch your animals while you are away. Safety is my upmost concern and as a veterinary technician and a groomer, I am very experienced in dog and cat care and would love to babysit your little angel! I can't wait to meet you and thanks for visiting my profile! I currently work from home so I have more than enough time to devote to your pet and their individual needs. My hours are not necessarily tied to a desk or computer either, so I am able to do walks freely throughout the day. Depending on the customers request, I am able to accommodate most housing accomodations. There is a room specifically designated in the house for the pet for the duration of the stay, which has toys, beds, food and water as well as a TV. it’s also a daybed for me as well so that I am able to stay in the room with your pet. My backyard is large and it’s open, however I will be keeping pers on-leash anytime they are outside.

“Great pictures!! Such a happy boy!?”

“Multiple rebooks. Great coordination and punctuality.”

About: What sets me apart is my well-rounded, hands-on experience and genuine love for animals. I have 8 years of experience caring for both my own pets and other people’s pets, working with dogs of all sizes—from small breeds to large, high-energy dogs. I’m comfortable and confident with basic training and reinforcing good habits, whether that’s leash manners, crate training, or maintaining routines you already have in place. I also have experience administering medications to senior dogs, ensuring they’re comfortable, safe, and well cared for as they age. I pride myself on being patient, attentive, and reliable, always taking the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own—providing plenty of love, structure, exercise, and updates for peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my top priority. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because it’s a top priority for me. I have open availability (24/7) and am flexible to accommodate early mornings, late nights, weekends, and holidays. Whether your pet needs regular walks, overnight care, medication, or extra attention, I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet their needs. I’m committed to providing consistent, dependable care and treating every pet like my own. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness always come first, and I’m always happy to serve both you and your pet. I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I take the time to get to know each pet’s needs, personality, and routines, and I make sure to follow any instructions you’ve already set in place—from feeding schedules to walks, training, and medication. Pets in my home receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection, including lots of belly rubs, playtime, and cuddles. I prioritize safety at all times by maintaining a clean, pet-friendly space and ensuring pets are never left unattended. My goal is to make your pet feel at home, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 12 years old. I have taken care of large dogs upward of 170lbs or really small puppies weighing only 3lbs. I have a lot of experience with puppies and believe in positive reinforcement only. I have a puppy on my own and my other dog lives with my parents because he is going through training. I take care of these dogs daily and on top of that I worked part time at a doggy daycare. I walk my dog twice every day for 30 minutes even in the cold and play with him inside a lot. I have 1 extra crate in my home for dogs who like to be crated. I have extra leashes for walking and the dogs will never be outside without me being present. I give fresh water always and I’m home 24/7 so your dog will be getting all the love they need!

“Patricia is an excellent sitter. My 125 lb Rottweiler loves her. Patricia was very personable and always on time. She took great attention in learning the things needed for his care. She came three times a day for 8 days to make sure he was taken care of and gave us peace of mind during our trip. I never had to worry because he was in good hands. I love when I can go away and leave him in the same level of care as he gets with my family. I chose right. Thank you Patricia!”
