Cat caregivers near you - Squankum
About: Living with my roommate’s two cats was a surprisingly positive experience. At first, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about sharing the space, but their different personalities quickly grew on me. One was playful and curious, while the other was calm and affectionate. Over time, they made the apartment feel warmer and more like home.
“Catherine is great! I knew from our meet and greet that she is a genuine animal lover! She immediately got down onto the floor to calmly and gently introduce herself to my cat. Dani went right up to her with confidence. Catherine took such good care of my Dani while I was on vacation. She made sure that she had plenty of food and water each day and tended to the litter box. Catherine took time to pet, brush, and play with Dani too. She also took a lot of great photos. I could see from the photos that Dani was thoroughly enjoying Catherine’s company and attention. I will definitely use Catherine in the future and confidently recommend her pet sitting services to others.”
“Shoshana was excellent taking care of my cat for a month. When I arrived my cat was healthy and happy. She provided me constant updates and pictures and was always easy to connect.”

“Mary was awesome. She accommodated a pretty short notice request for our first time for a drop-in. And while our dogs can be anxious around new people, she had no concerns and took them out and played with them and they had a blast. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Laura was awesome to work with and I highly recommend her services! I booked her last minute for a weekend trip we were taking. We normally board our dog, but for multiple reasons decided looking into having someone come to our house to take care of our dog while we were away. She was able to accommodate our short notice request and came the day before we left to meet our dog. Laura was very friendly and attentive with our dog, and our dog seemed to love Laura right away which put us at ease leaving her in her care. We recieved updates and photos during each visit, which our whole family enjoyed seeing. I will not hesitate to use her again in the future when we go away!”

Rachel is the best as she keep me informed about how Stella was doing throughout the day and kept her very active.

“I can’t express in words the amazing job Shoshana did. I never heard of Rover before and wanted to try it out. Shoshana came out early just to meet my dog so they could know each other.

“Like many others, my dog is basically my child so I always get a little nervous when it comes to finding a sitter. I contacted Cheryl to watch my 5 year old dachshund for two nights for a wedding we were attending. She was very responsive and was also conveniently located 10 minutes from our hotel. We traveled from NY and therefore didn’t get the opportunity to do a meet and greet beforehand but Cheryl reassured me that her dog Gus was friendly with everyone and when our dog met him, they got along right away. Cheryl has a fully fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around and although our dog typically sleeps on our bed, Cheryl had plenty of comfy couches and dog beds available. My dog is also an incredibly picky eater and eats fresh refrigerated dog food (he’s a diva I know) and Cheryl had no problems accommodating this. She provided many updates which I certainly appreciated. I would recommend Cheryl to others looking for a dog sitter in the area. She did a great job taking care of my fur baby and I would use her as a sitter if we were ever in the area again. Thank you for taking great care of Wilson, Cheryl!!”
“Thomas was wonderful! He was caring and very professional. My dog has anxiety and very active. Thomas knew exactly how to handle him and cater to his needs. He even went so far as to purchase bubbles for my dog because he loves to play w them! I can’t say enough about Thomas. He rocks!!”
“Meg and her family are incredibly warm - Uneela loves staying with them! The drop-off/pick-up process is smooth and easy and we are comfortable as we get frequent updates and pics - definitely would recommend Meg to others looking for a family to take care of their pet when needed.”
“Mark was an excellent sitter for our dog! He sent frequent and detailed updates with pictures. Mark and his family welcomed Chip into their home and Chip came back happy and tired from having a great time. We'll definitely board with him again!”
About: I love all animals, even reptiles! When I was a teenager I worked at a kennel for a summer job and fell in love with every breed of dog. I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits and small critters my entire life and even backyard chickens! My current pup is a senior boxer/Shepard mix. I am comfortable giving medication and caring for senior and special needs pets. I have a full time job so am available for pet care in the evenings and on weekends. I work local so if pet sitting at my house, I can check in at lunch time. I have a fenced in backyard and crates if needed. My senior dog is chill and is great with dogs and cats if caring for you pet in my home. For short stays, pets usually do best in their own home with visits from me up to three times a day depending on their needs.
