Cat Sitting Tickfaw

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s excited to start pet sitting. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I currently have a cat of my own, and I grew up with a family dog who was a beloved part of our family until he passed away from old age. My grandmother also had several dogs while I was growing up, so I’ve spent years around dogs of all different personalities and energy levels. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat every pet with the same patience, affection, and care that I give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions to help them feel right at home. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine. I care for my own cat daily by making sure she has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention and playtime. I’m used to planning my day around an animal’s needs and understand the importance of keeping pets on their regular routine. If I’m caring for your pet, I’ll make sure they get the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I always aim to keep pets as comfortable as possible by following their normal routine. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and bedtime routines so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I’ll also make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise based on their personality and energy level. I respect your home by keeping it clean and secure, and I’m happy to send regular photo and text updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. If caring for a pet in my own home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, and a consistent routine to help them feel comfortable and at ease.

“Alex was great with both my dogs and they enjoyed playing with her each visit. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely rebook her in the future.”

“She went above and beyond everything I needed from her. Took amazing care of my cat, who is typically very shy but warmed up to her almost instantly. Highly recommend her and will be using her again if needed :)!”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. My father has owned and operated a dog related business for over 15 years, and I grew up helping him with the daily care and responsibilities that come with working with dogs. I currently work part time as a kennel technician at Hickory Small Animal Hospital in Ponchatoula, where I help care for pets staying in the boarding facility. This experience has made me comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and individual needs. I also have extensive experience with horses and regularly help care for horses and assist with barn responsibilities for several owners. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I strive to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care while making sure every animal feels safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I am a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority. I also work part time, but I am able to plan my schedule around bookings and make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of outside time. I also have a friendly dog of my own who can provide some company and playtime! I am always happy to follow each owner’s preferences and routines to make sure their pet feels as comfortable and at home as possible.

“Rebecca did so good with all of my instructions and very much understood my stress of leaving my cats while away!”

About: I am a calm caregiver who is great with anxious dogs and rescue pups! I have 6 years of experience with senior dogs (large and small), medication administration, and special diets. I am currently self employed, making my our schedule. I am able to build my schedule around your pets’ needs, whether that is during the week day or weekend. When petting sitting at clients homes, I make sure to leave the house just as clean as when the client left. I believe it is important to treat others homes and animals with the respect and care of my personal home and pets.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I have a lot of experience with friends, family, etc..I also volunteer at my local shelter so i’ve taken care of pets in all shapes and sizes! I am a college-student so I’m busy but also have lots of down time! When I am with your pet, they will have undivided attention and anything that fits their needs! I have a fenced yard, and have had pups/ cats of my own! I will provide anything they need and really focus on getting to know your pets personally!

About: I believe I’m an excellent pet sitter because animals have been a huge part of my life from the very beginning. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I’ve personally bottle fed kittens, puppies, and baby goats, giving me hands on experience with pets that need extra attention and care. I also attended veterinary classes through LSU’s agricultural program, where I learned valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, and proper care. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just a comforting presence, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I currently work in Healthcare at North Oaks Hospital. I take care of my pet daily, as I would yours once we figure out which days i’m need to care for your baby! Creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet is my top priority. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention while following their normal routines as closely as possible. I carefully monitor their behavior, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and ensure all doors, gates, and leashes are secure. By providing a calm, loving atmosphere and paying close attention to each pet’s individual needs, I help them feel safe, happy, and stress free while their owners are away.

“She was very nice with both of my dogs. She kept me updated on every time she visit my home and her concerns for my dogs. I will definitely be booking with her in the future.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience working at a veterinary office, where I’ve gained valuable knowledge about pet health and behavior. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing special care for senior pets or those with medical needs. I also have experience training puppies, helping them learn basic commands and positive habits with patience and kindness. Above all, I’m passionate about animals and committed to giving each pet personalized attention, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is an important and enjoyable part of my daily and weekly routine. Whether it’s walking dogs, feeding cats, or spending quality time playing and comforting animals, I make sure to prioritize their needs consistently. Working at a vet office has taught me the importance of regular schedules, so I’m very organized with feeding times, medication administration, and exercise to keep pets happy and healthy. I genuinely love making pet care a regular, rewarding part of my life. When pets stay in my home, I create a warm and safe environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. I stick to their regular feeding and exercise schedules to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I provide plenty of playtime and affection to help them feel happy and secure. I’m attentive to their individual needs, including any medication or special care, and I always monitor their health closely. My home becomes a cozy, caring space where pets can relax and enjoy their time while their owners are away.

About: I enjoy watching the dogs play and enjoy spending time with them, I have had multiple cats & dogs at home on multiple occasions including holidays. I’m a retired and stay home a lot and enjoy helping others out with their fur babies.Love to be able to cuddle with all fur babies. I have a room for cats and I have an area for dogs to play in the yard , they can run around the house as much as they like .

About: I have grown up with dogs before I even had a conscious mind. I have loved dogs and animals in general my whole life. there is nothing more that I would like to do than make an animal feel taken care of. being always surrounded by animals at various ages has given me plenty of different experiences- for example, taking care of a dog with seizures, cancer, diabetes, and more. I have dealt with dogs with high anxiety and managing to keep them at a calm state but I have also dealt with dogs who have more aggression and have learned ways to calm them as well. I truly do have a love for animals beyond anything else. I genuinely enjoy any time I can get with them. there is a 100% guarantee that if there is an animal at someones house..I'm with it. I am looking forward to taking care of everyone's little animals (their children) and providing the best care not only for the pet in need but for the owner to feel reassured that their animal is in good hands. I am currently working four times a week but being able to take care of fur babies has been something I have been wanting to do for the longest time!! so although my schedule can be tight I'm willing to work around it when I can. I used to have three dogs in total in all different sizes. I took care of my dogs as if they were my literal children. at points they were probably too spoiled but I couldn't help it! I always made sure my dogs were fed and went out my way to find the best food that would suit their individual needs. two of my dogs were super anxious especially during any type of storm and I never turned them away, I was willing to do anything to make them feel safe. even if that meant sleeping on the floor or some nights not getting any sleep. more often than not I out my dogs first! one of my dogs loved walks so therefore I took him (and still take him) own a walk everyday and let him take as much time as he needs. I don't believe in hitting or yelling at any animal/using any form of aggression. I am a very empathetic and compassionate person. I am not quick to anger I'm only quick to solve whatever issue may be at hand. and my most important goal to create the best experience I can for the animals and owners.

About: I’ve been fostering animals for over a year now with Companion Animal Alliance Shelter and Friends of the Animals Rescue ! I have cared for just about any size or breed of cat/dog and even reptiles/amphibians! I enjoy spending time and caring for animals and it has always been a passion of mine. I’m very dependable and will be sure to send plenty of pictures of your babies during my time with them. I’m currently working part time so I will be available any week day after 4:30pm and all day Saturday. I’m potentially willing to take off of work depending on the clients needs. I like to take lots of walks and spend time in the yard with the animals. If a fenced in yard is required I will be happy to make accommodations to make sure he/she/they are able to spend time outside in an enclosed area. I enjoy cuddling and spending quality time with the animals I care for. I don’t have any restrictions for what furniture they are allowed on and have my own washable dog beds that they can use unless the owner prefers otherwise . I don’t own nor typically crate animals but if that is preferable I will have no problem doing so.

“Catherine did a great job with my 3 cats, one who is old and on medication. I will definitely have Catherine take care of them again.”

About: I’ve had multiple of different breeds of dogs and cats in my life and almost all of them had an underlying condition I’ve needed to be watchful for. Owning a golden retriever and German shepherd myself, I know tons of tips, tricks, and have tons of time for all the love and care in the world. I have a pretty flexible schedule at the moment and I’m willing to work with whoever needs for me to take care of their fur baby. 😊 Having two rambunctious fur babies myself, I ensure that during play time I am able to watch and monitor any specific behavior, or if it’s gets a little too “WWE” 🤣 I understand that when I’m going into your home it may be uncomfortable to have a stranger come in, but I am more than happy to provide a background check, a meet and greet, and just about anything to make sure all parties are comfortable. 😊

“Cody did an awesome job taking care of my babies!”

About: I have taken care of many animals for my family and friends. I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, and even horses! I love animals and have had a lot of experience pet sitting. I have stayed in home for long stays as well as just helping with walking and bathing. Right now, I am pretty free most days so I can be available to pet sit for long stays or just walking on pretty much any day! I am extremely flexible. I am always very responsible when it comes to taking care of other peoples pets and their homes. I will follow feeding schedules, keep animals healthy and clean, as well as always making sure the pets are comfortable

“Sarah and her husband Russell (also a Rover sitter) both take care of my furbabies and are irreplaceable. They both know their likes and dislikes and give them so much attention. (Including Peyton, my cat and both of my fish) who aren't even on their list of babies to care for. They've even gone so far as to bring packages inside of my house, If I have a package arrive, they will haul it inside for me! Including heavy ones like a mattress and furniture. They go above and beyond the call of duty and they are more like extended family than sitters! I appreciate them and am so grateful to Rover for connecting me with such awesome people. I wouldn't trust my babies with anyone else.”

About: Been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life, i got my female Husky in Feb of 2018 and rescued my male Husky in Oct 2018. There is no pet i don't love and so far have never met a pet that didn't like me too, some take a little longer but you just gotta let me get use to you. I am available at pretty much all times, and i have an SUV so i can lug all the furry friends around when needed. I do not have a fenced in yard but i take my dogs over to my mothers and let them run around and can let any dog i watch go over with us and get all their energy out.
