Cat caregivers near you - Cache
About: I am a farm girl who has cared for feral cat populations my whole life from coast to coast. I've had lots of indoor babies as well. Able to provide all levels of home care & love them as much as they allow while you're away 💛
About: For more than 25 years, I have specialized in providing exceptional care tailored specifically to the unique needs, quirks, and behaviors of cats. I understand that cats aren't just small dogs—they require a completely different approach rooted in patience, respect for their boundaries, and an intuitive understanding of feline body language. Over the last 25+ years, I have dedicated myself to mastering the art of keeping cats safe, stress-free, and content while their owners are away. Whether your cat is a social butterfly who demands interactive playtime, a senior feline requiring a gentle touch and strict medical routine, or a timid rescue who prefers to observe from a safe distance, I adapt my approach entirely to their comfort level. What Sets Me Apart: *Decades of Feline Expertise: With 25+ years of experience, I am highly skilled at reading subtle feline cues. I know how to earn the trust of shy or anxious cats, how to engage high-energy breeds, and how to spot early signs of stress or illness. *Medication & Senior Care Proficient: I have extensive experience administering oral medications, managing specialized diets, and keeping up with the meticulous routines required for senior, diabetic, or special-needs cats. *Respect for Boundaries: I never force interactions. I allow cats to approach me on their own terms, providing affection when wanted and space when needed, which significantly reduces their separation anxiety. *Meticulous Home & Litter Care: I maintain a clean, odor-free environment, ensuring litter boxes are scooped exactly to your standards and feeding areas remain pristine to keep your cat's routine perfectly consistent. I know how stressful it can be to leave your feline family members behind. My priority is providing you with total peace of mind through detailed updates, photos, and the absolute highest standard of care. I look forward to treating your cats like the royalty they are!
About: I am a human mom, dog mom, and teacher looking to make some extra income throughout the summer. In this family, we’re always around animals. For questions or wanting to schedule care, please reach out! As a teacher, I have the majority of summers off. I’ll be home each day looking for something to keep busy outside of caring for my kids. In previous jobs my responsibilities included taking care of 1-4 pets at a time (cats and dogs). I was asked to feed them and let them outside. On top of this I played with them, took them on walks, gave them treats and attention, and brushed them. I can take on any pet responsibilities you may need when out of the home.
“Nate was so great with Scarlet for her first week home. It was such a relief for me to know that she was getting let out of her kennel and played with twice a day while I was at work. She absolutely adores him!!”
About: I have experience with various different types of animals including cats, and dogs. I love how special and unique each animal is and I love to get to know them and getting to know their personalities. I am working full time and going to school I typically don't work mornings and a couple days during the week I am off and I can stop by and check on them throughout the week. I do anything and everything I can do to take the best care of them, and I always make their health top priority. And treat them like royalty and babies
“Molly did a fantastic job. Bought Xtra food when it ran low and took one of the cats to the vet when it needed to go. We highly recommend her services. We will be happy to hire her again.”
“Samantha is so kind and will definitely take care of your furry babies! She was so attentive, uploaded multiple pictures, and made sure they were taken well care of! We will definitely use her again! Highly recommend!”
“Shelby did a great job on her drop in visits, feeding and petting our fur babies, and sending us pictures. They warmed to her quickly and it was so nice to know they were being checked on!”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of being a dog hiker for over 150 dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—some of them during overnight stays or day visits as well. My background in hiking with dogs has taught me how to build quick trust, understand different energy levels, and create a calm, safe environment—whether we’re out on a walk or curled up at home. I treat every dog like they’re my own—whether we’re exploring a trail, walking through the neighborhood, or just hanging out at home. I’m reliable, calm, and genuinely love spending time with animals. You can count on me to show up, stay in tune with your pet’s needs, and communicate clearly with you. Let me know how I can help give your dog some adventure, love, and attention while you’re away! I hike dogs for a living so I can usually create my own schedule so I am totally willing to work with your preferences and needs. I always make sure every dog gets adequate exercise and outside time. I am good at reading body language and reading what their needs and comfort levels are.

About: My name is Kazha, I am currently working as a veterinary technician. I have always had a passion for animals and I have enjoyed each opportunity I have gotten to work with them! I currently have two dogs named Smokie and Koda. I also have a little bird named Rhea, In February I fostered and rehomed 7 cats and in may I fostered and rehomed 5 husky puppies. I would love to look after your dog or cat and treat them as my own! I am currently available to play with your pet during the weekend and throughout the week! I would love for you to contact me to check availability! I have a fenced in backyard for your pet to run/play and a large neighborhood to take them on walks. I also have space to kennel your pet indoors when/if necessary.
About: I grew up in an 'all is welcome' whether you were two legged or four - your safe place was 'here'. My Mama saved and welcomed all walks of life and lived in service of others. She taught me joy was in caring and loving all, from plants to pets to people.. you find joy in caring for the young and the old. Together we grew gardens, rescued animals, nurtured the sick, took in and cared for elderly grandparents, and found joy and happiness in serving others. Since her passing 9 years ago, I have continued finding that same joy and peace in helping others while caring for God's creatures. Like Mama would say, "I will love yours like my own and they will feel it".

Perfect for high energy dogs - Cache
“Rebeca and her family take such good care of my dog. She is always so excited when I drop her off with them. My dog loves playing with their dog Nico. They go on walks together and to the dog park. Itʻs nice to be away knowing that my dog is happy and comfortable.”
“Amanda and Cody were fantastic with my dog Pearl! They treated her like their own. She was absolutely spoiled at their place. She got to do her favorite activities which are sunning herself on the porch and sleeping. They were quick to respond when booking and kept me updated throughout the day. Next time we’re in town we will definitely use them again! Thank y’all so much!”
“Debbie was amazing, one of my dogs gets nervous when we’re away and Debbie made sure to give him lots of love and also sent me tons of updates which was so appreciated! I highly recommend her and already plan on booking her for another stay!”
“Elizabeth has been so great and easy to work with! She sends great pictures and also is super easy to get in touch with. She cares a lot about animals and is very trustworthy!”
“This was our first time using Rover as this app as our first puppy in many years. We found ourselves in a little bit of a bind as our new puppy wasn’t allowed at a local recreation spot. We live several hours away and couldn’t return our new puppy to our house. So we looked up who might be able to dog sit out new puppy. Almost out of options we stumbled upon Rover. I looked at the nearest couple of people and found Pamela. She had a fantastic rating and over two dozen return customers! I took a chance and sent my request through the app, thinking if Pamela didn’t respond that I would just cancel our plans for the day and head home. Within minutes I get a response from Pamela saying she would love to watch our new puppy for the day. Still with a lot of reluctance we decided to leave our new puppy with a stranger. Pamela was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! She kept us informed on their activities and even sent us pictures of them having a great day, and of our new pup taking a nap! If I could give 500 stars I would! Pamela, thanks for taking such good care out of puppy!”
“This was our first time using the Rover app and the first time having our fur baby watched by someone outside our family/friend circle. Lynsie was the perfect fit! She instantly helped me and my pup feel comfortable with her welcoming smile and reassuring words. She kept me update throughout the day with texts and pictures. When she noticed my pup getting a bit anxious she reached out to ask for additional advice on how best to soothe him. She truly calmed my nerves. I feel our pup was very well taken care of. We highly recommend her and will use her again in the future. Thank you Lynsie!!”
About: My earliest memories are of playing with dogs. As an adult I love my kitties and will care for any furry, scaley or feathered friends. Every day I care for my dog and 4 cats. The trip to the nearby park is a routine where I find refuge. I have flexibility with my work schedule and can make most times fit. I have a fenced yard where pets can roam free without fear of antagonism or being set loose in the neighborhood. I give each memeber of the clan daily attention and individual care.
“Katherine was great at keeping me in the loop, consistently sending photos of my pup playing with the others in her care. I can’t ask, but I’m sure if I could, my dog Cleo would say she had a great time (based on the photos). Would happily book with Katherine again in the future.”
“Atie was great and would highly recommend her. She communicated great, shared pictures and updates and was flexible on pick up times and coordination in general. Would definitely use Atie again!”
About: Hi there! I’m Kati, and caring for pets has been a big part of my life for the past 15 years. I have extensive experience with small and medium-sized dogs and the past 2 years I’ve also cared for cats, so I understand the unique personalities and needs of both. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or making sure mealtime routines are followed, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is for your furry family members to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and patient — especially when it comes to pets who may be shy, energetic, or need a little extra care. You can rest easy knowing your pets are in good hands. 🐶🐱 Let’s set up a meet & greet so your pets can get to know me! can provide care in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, and in the evenings after work. This means I can stop by multiple times a day for feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, or just some extra attention and cuddles. I also offer overnight boarding, so your pers can enjoy consistent care and company while you’re away. In My Home: Your cat will have a safe, comfortable, and calm environment while staying with me. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I make sure their routine is followed as closely as possible to keep them happy and stress-free. In Your Home: I can visit your home to care for your cat in the environment they know and love. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, playtime, and companionship. I also make sure your home is secure while providing updates so you can relax knowing your cat is well cared for.
“Tatiyana and her family made Boo and Scout feel right at home, updated us with pics and report during their stay. We could not be happier. We picked them up 4 hours earlier than planned and appreciated the last minute accommodation. Thank you Tatiyana and family helpers! We’ll see you again. Gordon & Susan”

About: I've always loved pets. When I was 8, I received a book about dog care and breeds and studied it until I'd nearly had it memorized. I got my first dog when I was 11 and trained her myself. When she had puppies (through a certified breeder), I was responsible for de-sensitization and counterconditioning trainings. I love volunteering at the animal shelter while I'm unable to have pets due to my apartment. I can promise to give your pets almost as much love as you do! I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to play with and care for your dog or cat! If I have enough notice (around 3-5 days) ahead of time, I can make most arrangements work! My apartment currently does not allow for pets, so they will not be visiting my personal home but I will care for your pet in your home with your rules! Feel free to leave me as many detailed and personalized instructions as your pet may need :)
About: For more than 25 years, I have dedicated myself to providing exceptional care for pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. What started as a lifelong passion for animals has evolved into decades of hands-on experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and overnight care. Over the last 25+ years, I have built a reputation based on absolute reliability, deep empathy, and a thorough understanding of animal behavior. Whether your pet is a high-energy puppy who needs structured exercise, an older companion requiring a gentle touch and strict medication schedules, or a shy rescue who needs time and patience to warm up, I adapt my approach to fit their unique personality. What Sets Me Apart: *Decades of Expertise: With 25+ years of experience, there are very few situations I haven't encountered. I am highly adept at reading animal body language, preventing stressful situations, and keeping pets calm, safe, and content. *Medication & Senior Care Specialization: I am fully comfortable administering oral medications, following precise dietary guidelines, and managing the specialized routines of senior or special-needs pets. *Flawless Reliability & Professionalism: I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful. My priority is your peace of mind. I maintain open communication, provide frequent and detailed updates with photos, and strictly adhere to your home and pet care rules. When your pets are under my care, they aren’t just being looked after—they are treated with the same respect, love, and attentiveness that I would demand for my own. I look forward to giving your furry family members a safe, comfortable, and joyful experience! Full-Time Presence & Flexible Care: Because I work from home full-time, my schedule revolves entirely around being present and available. I am here all day long, which means your pet won’t have to endure long hours of solitude. Working from home allows me to seamlessly blend my professional day with high-quality pet care, ensuring a consistent, reassuring human presence for your furry family member. What This Means for Your Pet: *All-Day Companionship & Supervision: Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks and a midday walk, or your cat loves curling up next to my laptop, I am around to provide companionship, monitoring, and affection throughout the day. *Strict Routine Adherence: Pets thrive on consistency. Because I don’t have a daily commute, I can strictly adhere to your pet's specific feeding windows, exercise routines, and medication schedules exactly when they expect them. *Perfect for Puppies, Seniors, & Special Needs: Being home all day allows me to easily manage the demanding schedules of energetic puppies who need structured attention, or senior pets who require extra bathroom breaks and close monitoring. *Flexible Breaks Dictated by Their Needs: My workflow allows me to take regular breaks to stretch my legs, play fetch in the yard, refresh water bowls, or simply offer some belly rubs, matching my daily rhythm to your pet's natural routine. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs active engagement or is a couch potato who just wants a human in the room, my work-from-home setup provides a safe, attentive, and highly flexible environment for their care. Uncompromising Safety Backed by Decades of Experience: With over 25 years of pet care experience, safety isn't just a checklist for me—it is an instinct. I understand that entrusting your beloved pet and your home to someone else requires immense trust. My priority is providing a secure, predictable, and hazard-free environment where your pet can relax and thrive, whether they are staying with me or I am visiting them in your home. Because I work from home and am here all day long, your pet is never left unsupervised for extended periods. This constant presence is the ultimate safety net, allowing me to monitor health, prevent separation anxiety, and immediately respond to any needs. Safety Protocol in My Home: *Constant Supervision: Working from home means eyes-on care. Pets are never left to roam unmonitored, and I maintain a highly structured environment to prevent any resource guarding or behavioral friction. *Pet-Proofed Spaces: My home is meticulously organized to ensure all cords, medications, toxic plants, and household hazards are entirely out of reach. *Secure Transitions: Doors and gates are strictly managed. I treat entryways with extreme caution to ensure "door-bolters" have zero opportunity to escape. Safety Protocol in Your Home: *Respect & Discretion: I treat your home with the utmost reverence, maintaining a clean space, securing all locks and alarms, and ensuring your privacy is fully protected. *Strict Adherence to Your Rules: I follow your exact instructions regarding off-limit rooms, crating, feeding, and neighborhood walking routes to keep your pet’s environment completely consistent. *Emergency Preparedness: Before you leave, I gather all emergency contacts, vet information, and preferred animal hospital locations so I am fully prepared for any scenario. Building Trust Through Transparency: I believe that communication is the foundation of trust. I am incredibly accessible. You can expect regular, detailed updates alongside plenty of photos and videos, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I care for every animal with the same vigilance, respect, and deep affection that I would demand for my own.
About: I grew up with 3 border collies in my home, so I’ve been helping with pet care for as long as I can remember. My husband and I adopted Penny, our sweet Australian Shepherd, two years ago and we have loved every second. I have never met a dog I didn’t love. I have often been told I have a knack for comforting anxious dogs. I work from home, so my schedule is fairly flexible during work hours. I often take my dog on a walk before work and in the evening after work. I’m flexible to leave work as needed and take dogs out as often as needed. I have a friendly Australian Shepherd who loves to play to keep your dog(s) company. My fur baby no longer uses her crate, so we have a crate that can be used for your dog when they visit if they like it. My husband is home in the evening after work to help with pet care.
About: I am a human mom, dog mom, and teacher looking to make some extra income throughout the summer. In this family, we’re always around animals.

There’s very little we can’t or won’t do to accommodate any need you make have from drop off to pick-up let us know. We love animals and I think there no better way to make some additional income then to share our home with your fur babies. Also if I need to come to your home I’m happy to make them as comfortable at home the way you do as possible, until you get back. I’m always aware plans change if I need to watch them longer, or we need to adjust pick-up and drop off times that will never be a problem. We joke that we let the dogs out let the dogs in and then it’s time, to do it all over again :-) we are called all the dogs, because we want all the dogs. We have a fully fenced yard, and 3 fur babies for your pets to have play with. We also have an industrial awesome dog pool for them to play in the water or to just use as a big dish :-)

I lived with a senior dog and consistently sat for the two neighbor dogs for their last three years. I am a college student, and I just like your dogs am in need of frequent study breaks! I have frequent holes in my schedule where it would be very easy for me to stop by and play or check on your furry friends. I am always respectful of the structure you have provided for your dog and will work on its schedule. I know how important routine is for animals, so that always remains my priority.

When visiting your fur babies I make sure to lock the door when I enter and exit the house. Your dog will be on their leash during our walk.
About: Ever since my husband and I got our own dog we just love the idea of taking care of other pets. I understand how it feels when you go places or on vacation or whatever and you cannot take your furbabies with you. This reason is why we love taking care of our friends pets when they are away. It will ONLY be myself working and dog sitting. My husband is not part of this, he has his own things to do, and he watches our own furbaby. I am a full-time student and I only have 2 days out of 7 that are in person. I am flexible most of the days. Oh my boy is spoiled but not too spoiled. I always groom my dog by myself every other day. We put him first because hes our furbaby (even though he is 6 years old). We take him on walks twice a day for 15-30mins. I always offer to groom my friends pets that we look after; only if their furbaby allows it. For my friends with cats, I usually pet the cats after I take care of their dishes (food&water) only if they allow it.

About: Whether it be walks to parks, dropping in or even staying with your fur babies… I’m your person. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have questions! I work 6:30am to 2:30pm Monday through Friday here in North SLC, I can easily come in the mornings during lunch breaks in north Salt lake and anytime after work or on the weekends in the Ogden area. I am available for house stays. I can travel from North Salt Lake all the way up to Willard and everything in between. Don’t hesitate to ask! I have pretty large house, with a large sized yard and can accommodate but I’d rather come and visit your fur baby in the comfort of their own home. I find that it helps keep your fur baby stress free being in their own environment that they are use to and feel safe in.
About: Hi, I’m Cate! I’m a lifelong animal lover based in Downey, offering professional pet care services, including walking, hiking, running, and house sitting.

I also provide care for cats and other small pets, ensuring they receive just as much attention and enrichment as their canine companions. Whether your pet needs a leisurely stroll, an adventurous hike, or just some love and care while you’re away, I’d be honored to help.

I pay close attention to their behavior, use positive reinforcement, and follow any specific instructions you provide. For walks and outdoor adventures, I prioritize leash safety, hydration, and weather conditions to keep your pet happy and healthy. During house-sitting, I maintain your pet’s routine, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and keep your home tidy and secure. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m committed to building trust with both you and your furry family members. 🐾
About: I grew up in an 'all is welcome' whether you were two legged or four - your safe place was 'here'. My Mama saved and welcomed all walks of life and lived in service of others. She taught me joy was in caring and loving all, from plants to pets to people.. you find joy in caring for the young and the old. Together we grew gardens, rescued animals, nurtured the sick, took in and cared for elderly grandparents, and found joy and happiness in serving others. Since her passing 9 years ago, I have continued finding that same joy and peace in helping others while caring for God's creatures. Like Mama would say, "I will love yours like my own and they will feel it".

“Really felt comfortable leaving our old boy Bentley, with Marissa. I was a bit concerned at first because Marissa has a dog and three cats of her own. As an older dog, Bentley prefers to sleep and pretty much, just be left alone, but the animals got along just fine. I could instantly tell at our introduction meeting that Marissa is an animal lover with a very kind heart. While we were away, Marissa took pictures of the dogs interacting and taking walks ... apparently, many walks ... and sending them to me regularly. Upon return, when I picked Bentley up, Marissa said "I thought you said that Bentley was kind of lay-back and just wanted to sleep. But, he was the first one up waiting to go outside to play and explore". I really appreciate the great job Marissa did with Bentley during our nine-day trip. I had such peace of mind that our dog was being loved and cared for. I would VERY MUCH like to use Marissa's boarding services again, next time we travel.”
About: For more than 25 years, I have dedicated myself to providing exceptional care for pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. What started as a lifelong passion for animals has evolved into decades of hands-on experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and overnight care. Over the last 25+ years, I have built a reputation based on absolute reliability, deep empathy, and a thorough understanding of animal behavior. Whether your pet is a high-energy puppy who needs structured exercise, an older companion requiring a gentle touch and strict medication schedules, or a shy rescue who needs time and patience to warm up, I adapt my approach to fit their unique personality. What Sets Me Apart: *Decades of Expertise: With 25+ years of experience, there are very few situations I haven't encountered. I am highly adept at reading animal body language, preventing stressful situations, and keeping pets calm, safe, and content. *Medication & Senior Care Specialization: I am fully comfortable administering oral medications, following precise dietary guidelines, and managing the specialized routines of senior or special-needs pets. *Flawless Reliability & Professionalism: I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful. My priority is your peace of mind. I maintain open communication, provide frequent and detailed updates with photos, and strictly adhere to your home and pet care rules. When your pets are under my care, they aren’t just being looked after—they are treated with the same respect, love, and attentiveness that I would demand for my own. I look forward to giving your furry family members a safe, comfortable, and joyful experience! Full-Time Presence & Flexible Care: Because I work from home full-time, my schedule revolves entirely around being present and available. I am here all day long, which means your pet won’t have to endure long hours of solitude. Working from home allows me to seamlessly blend my professional day with high-quality pet care, ensuring a consistent, reassuring human presence for your furry family member. What This Means for Your Pet: *All-Day Companionship & Supervision: Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks and a midday walk, or your cat loves curling up next to my laptop, I am around to provide companionship, monitoring, and affection throughout the day. *Strict Routine Adherence: Pets thrive on consistency. Because I don’t have a daily commute, I can strictly adhere to your pet's specific feeding windows, exercise routines, and medication schedules exactly when they expect them. *Perfect for Puppies, Seniors, & Special Needs: Being home all day allows me to easily manage the demanding schedules of energetic puppies who need structured attention, or senior pets who require extra bathroom breaks and close monitoring. *Flexible Breaks Dictated by Their Needs: My workflow allows me to take regular breaks to stretch my legs, play fetch in the yard, refresh water bowls, or simply offer some belly rubs, matching my daily rhythm to your pet's natural routine. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs active engagement or is a couch potato who just wants a human in the room, my work-from-home setup provides a safe, attentive, and highly flexible environment for their care. Uncompromising Safety Backed by Decades of Experience: With over 25 years of pet care experience, safety isn't just a checklist for me—it is an instinct. I understand that entrusting your beloved pet and your home to someone else requires immense trust. My priority is providing a secure, predictable, and hazard-free environment where your pet can relax and thrive, whether they are staying with me or I am visiting them in your home. Because I work from home and am here all day long, your pet is never left unsupervised for extended periods. This constant presence is the ultimate safety net, allowing me to monitor health, prevent separation anxiety, and immediately respond to any needs. Safety Protocol in My Home: *Constant Supervision: Working from home means eyes-on care. Pets are never left to roam unmonitored, and I maintain a highly structured environment to prevent any resource guarding or behavioral friction. *Pet-Proofed Spaces: My home is meticulously organized to ensure all cords, medications, toxic plants, and household hazards are entirely out of reach. *Secure Transitions: Doors and gates are strictly managed. I treat entryways with extreme caution to ensure "door-bolters" have zero opportunity to escape. Safety Protocol in Your Home: *Respect & Discretion: I treat your home with the utmost reverence, maintaining a clean space, securing all locks and alarms, and ensuring your privacy is fully protected. *Strict Adherence to Your Rules: I follow your exact instructions regarding off-limit rooms, crating, feeding, and neighborhood walking routes to keep your pet’s environment completely consistent. *Emergency Preparedness: Before you leave, I gather all emergency contacts, vet information, and preferred animal hospital locations so I am fully prepared for any scenario. Building Trust Through Transparency: I believe that communication is the foundation of trust. I am incredibly accessible. You can expect regular, detailed updates alongside plenty of photos and videos, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I care for every animal with the same vigilance, respect, and deep affection that I would demand for my own.
