Cat Sitting in Trout Valley

“Dorothy was outstanding coming to our house to feed and let out our 2 dogs. She was great with the dogs, responds quickly to questions and sent many photos while we traveled out of state for a wedding. We trusted her and did not worry about our dogs. I would highly recommend her services.”

“Carolyn does a great job with our senior dog. Our dog needs medication several times a day and Carolyn kept her on her schedule while we were gone. We feel very comfortable leaving our girl with Carolyn.”

“Rachael is an excellent pet sitter! She was always very punctual and thorough with her pet care (2 cats and a dog). She was careful to follow my written instructions to keep their schedules as close to normal as possible. Her daily logs about her visits were detailed and fun to read! And lots of cute pictures! She is very sweet and kind and I would not hesitate to ask for her help again!”

“Samantha was thoughtful and thorough! She did a great job and messaged me with helpful updates and pictures of my fur babies. I would def use her again!”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of both cats and dogs, including small and large breeds. I currently have a chocolate lab who I walk, feed, and play with every day. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats, and I understand the extra patience, attention, and care they may need. I love cats and am comfortable feeding them, changing litter, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable, caring, and truly enjoy being around animals! I’m home from college until August 10th. I’m available all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8 AM–3PM for dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs! I’m also available on weekends and am flexible with timing. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and safe. I’m always mindful, respectful, and responsible when caring for pets in someone else’s home. I make sure to keep a clean and safe environment, follow instructions carefully, and handle everything with care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home, and I’ll always do my best to make both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure.

“Jaimie was wonderful taking care of our cat and the house while we were out of town. She contacted us daily to let us know that everything was ok. She was thorough in asking questions to help care for our cat. She’s very reliable and we had a good piece of mind that things were taken care of. We will definitely use her again!”

“Hannah is so good to our fur babies! She is reliable and flexible and has come in last minute for those surprise bookings that most pet parents come across. We appreciate Miss Hannah and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving caregiver for their pets.”

About: Current veterinary technician student with 3 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary technician, Certified dog trainer with 3 years experience, 4 years of professional dog grooming experience, and 3 years of successfully running my own pet care and nail trim business. As a dedicated animal care professional and pet owner of two dogs myself, I understand the importance of compassionate, reliable, and attentive care. I would love the opportunity to make your furry family members part of my daily routine and provide them with the highest level of care and attention. I am currently a veterinary technician student through Penn Foster while also working part-time and raising my beautiful 2-year-old daughter. My passion for animals has guided both my personal and professional life, and I strive to lead by example by teaching my daughter the importance of love, compassion, patience, and responsibility when caring for animals. In addition to my studies, I bring 3 years of veterinary technician experience, 4 years of professional dog grooming experience, and 3 years of experience running my own pet care and nail trim business. As a devoted pet owner to two dogs of my own, I understand that pets are family, and I am committed to providing every animal with safe, attentive, and compassionate care. When caring for pets in your home, my first priority is building trust and creating a safe, comfortable environment for each animal. Every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel secure and at ease. This may include plenty of treats, playtime, slow introductions, or even hand feeding when needed to help establish a positive bond and build trust between your pet and myself. My goal is to ensure every pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for while providing patient, compassionate, and individualized attention.

About: Hi! I grew up on a farm, so I’ve spent my whole life around animals of all sizes and personalities. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. My husband and I have had Labrador Retrievers throughout our entire marriage—they truly are part of our family! Because of that, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pet with the same love and attention you give them. When your dog is with me, they’ll get plenty of good walks, belly rubs, and (of course) any treats or snacks you provide. I’ll also send regular photo updates and notes so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. In my professional life, I’m a teacher with 25 years of experience. My schedule gives me some flexibility and allows me to spend time with furry friends when I’m not in the classroom. If you choose me to care for your pet, you can feel confident knowing that a responsible, experienced, and caring person will be looking after them. Feel free to reach out anytime—I’d love to set up a meet-and-greet and get to know you and your pup! I am a teacher- so currently my hours are evenings and weekends- but starting the week after Memorial Day I am off for the summer, so I am available all day! I’ve spent my whole life around animals and have owned Labrador Retrievers for many years, so caring for dogs is second nature to me. Your dog will get regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention while I keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I’ll also send photo updates and notes so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. Feel free to reach out anytime—I’d love to set up a meet-and-greet!

“Arlene is awesome and did an amazing job taking care of Salem. She also sent me a ton of pictures which I always appreciate. Will definitely be asking her to take care of Salem again.”

“Grace is awesome! She saved us for a last minute visit for our older dog who needed a midday bathroom break. She came out the night before after working all day to meet us and our pets and go over our pets needs. During the first visit we got a video, photos and report card from the visit. She was very personable and we could tell in the video our pets were excited to see her when she arrived. Just know if you hire Grace, your pets are in good hands.”

Katie W.

“Monica was amazing! This was our first time having someone come to our house to let our puppy out and she made us feel very comfortable. She was very responsive and sent us pictures while she was there. We are definitely going to ask Monica to do more drop in visits in the future!”

About: My boyfriend, Joe, and I both have huge hearts for animals and enjoy taking on Rover jobs together! Being in our mid 20s, we have plenty of free time and we both have extremely flexible work schedules; this enable us to give the attention and time that your pets deserve! About Haley: My love for animals started from a young age; I love pets of all shapes, sizes, and breeds! I was raised with 2 cats, a Golden Retriever, 2 Bull Terrier Mixes, and a Miniature Pinscher. I currently have 2 Chihuahuas and I’m hoping to add a Corgi and/or Bernese Mountain Dog to the family in the future! About Joe: I’ve always loved animals and grew up with a Weimaraner named Wimzy! She passed early last year after spending 13 wonderful years with my family. Haley: My flexible work schedule allows me to take care of pets at any time during the day or night. Joe: I work a non-traditional corporate work schedule. I am in the office Wednesday thru Saturday from 3am to the early afternoon. This gives me a pretty empty schedule to help with Rover cares or to stop by if Haley gets called into to work on short notice. We work as a team which really allows us to give the upmost care for your pet while they’re with us. We have a large yard, while it is unfenced, it is in a quiet neighborhood. Dogs will always be leashed for potty breaks for safety. If your dogs needs to unleash their zoomies there is a fenced in dog park just a short 5-minute walk away! Cats will find comfort in our quiet home with many cozy windowsills to snuggle up on. Toys & treats (with owner’s permission) are always provided!

“Cece has been taking care of our dogs for 2 years. Last week was our last week with her because we moved out of her area. We are so sad that Cece won’t be our dog sitter anymore. She treated our girls like they were her own. We were so blessed to have her the past 2 years. We will miss her and know our pups will as well.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Currently live with 2 dogs and 2 cats, and my family has 3 other dogs! I’ve dog-sat for many years, both staying at homes and frequently checking in. I have a natural way of connecting with animals, and I love spending time with them! During the summer, I will have availability to walk dogs, let dogs out, and care for pets during the day and evenings on weekdays. June weekdays I am available after 12, and July weekdays I am available all day. Weekend availability is not consistent throughout the summer. I live with two dogs and two cats. I walk the dogs frequently, feed them breakfast and dinner, and keep their spaces clean and safe! I monitor pets as they chew on toys, and throw away toys that could be dangerous. Managing 4 pets is a handful, but I love it!
