Cat Sitting in Val Verde

About: With 13 years of experience, caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am. My love for pups started at 18 when my chihuahua was born right under my bed. We’ve grown up together, and now that she’s a senior, I’ve learned how to give older dogs the gentle, attentive care they need. I also recently brought home a lively young chiweenie rescue, so I understand how to balance playful energy with the slower pace of an older dog. Whether your pup needs long walks, cozy cuddles, or just some patient company, I’m here to make them feel safe and loved. I offer in-home visits and pet sitting. Monday through Thursday, I’m available for morning walks, evening drop-ins, and after-work hangs. From Friday to Sunday, I’m free all day for weekend stays, midday walks, or extra one-on-one time. I provide a calm home and a flexible routine, your dog will always be treated like family—getting the care, attention, and affection they need and deserve.

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life. I have experience with rescues. I'm an active sitter near hiking trails. Last minute availability is possible. I'm currently working from home part-time making pet care fit easily into my days. If you need daily drop-ins for feeding, walking, running or medications, or ball play, we can set up a custom plan for your fur babies. I treat every pet as if it's my own. If your pet has special needs, we can discuss how best I can make them feel at ease. I'm here to help and open to handling specific needs. I've been there myself with my own babies.

About: I am a privately insured sitter through Pet Sitters International. *** for the next few months my overnights/house sitting during the week are limited to weekends (fri-sun) only*** sorry for any inconvenience *** I am still available for walks and drop ins during the week! *** I work for a pack walk company in the mornings (m-f) so I do have some schedule constraints which I thought I would put here as Rovers availability time frames are pretty rigid: --Mon, tues I am available starting around 1:30 --wed, thurs and fri I am available starting around 12:30 --Saturday I am available starting 3pm --Sundays are generally open I have had dogs while growing up and continued the trend into adult hood. I have personally owned and cared for two dogs these past 15 years. My last dog was a rescued senior with a host of health issues that we managed with medication, acupuncture/laser therapy, mobility exercises and a couple specialist vets...so if you're in need of senior care I can provide that. I can also provide walks, play, snuggles...basically whatever your pet needs to fulfill them while you're away. About this sitter: I love animals and I want to make your furry companion(s) as happy as they are when you are home with them. I'm up for whatever you're furry friend likes to do (hikes, long walks, ball playing, just hanging out etc). I am super reliable and want to provide the best care to your pooch while you are away! I am a responsible house guest and will always leave things the way I found them. I guarantee your pooch will have a great time! At this time I'm not offering in home services as a couple of my cats are fearful. As for watching your pet in your home I will adhere to your instructions. I am able to provide walks, play, snuggles etc. My dog is a senior and on quite a few medications so I am well versed in administering medications also.

“Caleb is reliable, friendly, communicative and took great care of my cat while I was away. He is a great pet sitter and I will definitely book again in the future!”

I've taken care of pets all ages and sizes and have had amazing experiences and created so many new bonds and friendships with pets and their owners! I am a college athlete so sometimes my schedule can get very busy during the winter but, I am mostly free on weekends. Any further scheduling or dates needed will require messaging me privately. I only travel to clients houses who need sitters within their home. I accommodate to all needs necessary to make sure their pets feel safe and secure while their families are away.

“Nihcole is amazing! My daughter and I went out of town for the week, which meant our big boy would be home alone during the day, until my husband got home from work. Nihcole came and loved on him each day we were gone as if he were her own. He loves her! Our little guy (who went to his trainers for the week) even loved her. And he doesn’t like anyone! ? We will definitely have Nichole care for our dogs again. You will love her and so will your pets!”

About: I am a very patient pet lover with 10+ years experience working with dogs! I have been pet sitting for around 5 years now through word of mouth and am excited to build a bigger community on Rover. I am comfortable and experienced being around all dogs ranging from 5lbs to over 100lbs, I am willing and able to adapt to any of your pets needs. This includes (but is not limited to) simple tasks such as feeding, lots of playing, walking, exercising, following specific schedules etc. but also includes administering medicine, simple training and any kind of clean up! (I’ve seen it all!) At the end of the day I really look forward to bringing you and your pet as much comfort as possible while you’re apart:) I have 2 dogs of my own and worked with dogs that deal with anxiety and some reactive behaviors so I feel well prepared to be there for all babies. I also understand how meeting a new care giver can be scary for both the parent and our furry friends so any adjustment aid such as meeting before hand or going over their daily schedule I’m more than happy to do!:) Can’t wait to connect and care💕 I am a recent college grad and have most of this summer free!! I am happy to take on any work and look forward to being your reliable pet sitter:) My schedule is currently open! I care for pets through love, play and structure. Our fur babies won’t get away with anything but also need to be given understanding, lots of love and care. When it comes to caring for other peoples pets I make sure to give extra care as I’m sure they’re missing their family. I prefer to meet all families and pets beforehand to insure safety and a good fit!!

About: I grew up with a family dog and have been around dogs my entire life! I have around 8–10 years of hands-on care including walking, feeding, bathing, and spending time with pets! I also volunteer at my local animal sanctuary and regularly do so whenever I am back in my hometown; cats and dogs! I love, love animals and would love to make sure your pets are amazingly taken care of! I usually pet sit every week or so! 😊 I would love to take great care of your pets and treat them like my own! I would want to follow the owner’s procedures and rules regarding their pet in respect to their wishes and usual routine. I also would care for the pets in regards to their feeding times, bathing, walking, and more I will need to do!

About: I love animals; always have! I used to come home from school and do homework in front of Animal Planet and when it wasn't doing that I was taking care of my neighbor's pets. They had cats, dogs and horses and I looked forward to it every time. My responsibilities included walking, playing, feeding and even reading to them (which I have on good authority was very adorable). I'm very excited to take care of your fur babies for you now! *Ask me about Active & Running services* **Ask me about Pet Portraiture Add-ons** I am currently taking online classes and looking forward to being with animals when I can part time. I am looking forward to meeting new pets and taking care of them in between bouts of homework and studying. I am available for most services! Including drop-in check-ins, letting dogs out to do their business or go on walks or play with your pets. I'm also available to pet-sit and keep them company while they relax in their space. After meeting your pets and learning their specific and unique needs, likes or dislikes, I am available to feed, walk, play most days.

About: I am a mature professional work from home female. I have been taking care of dogs , cats, birds , fish , rabbits , chickens of any kind since I was 10. I grew up on a family farm. My friends , family , neighbors have relied on me to feed , walk , bathe their pets. I have a small maltipoo Sugar. She is very friendly with small dogs like her. My 16 y/o son loves all animals. They will get a lot of belly rubs. We can train them too. I work from home full time. I wake up at 6:30 walk your pets out for 10-15 mins and then we come back and have breakfast. After that I turn my computer on and your pets can just lay in the sofa next to me or play in other rooms. At lunch we again go out for a walk. We play in the backyard with water hose if it’s too hot outside. And after work we take a walk again. We have beautiful paseos nearby. Before going to bed we take a final walk or backyard potty break. I have a nice fenced backyard pet proofed with a net around where your pets can safely play. We will be walking outside 2-3 times a day. Mostly your pets will be staying home and cuddling with me.

“Caitlyn provided me with a text to say she was checking in with Roland and then let me know everything was good afterwards. She’s reliable. Can’t recommend enough.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, especially when it comes to cats. I grew up in a household that always had multiple cats. I just recently moved from my parents house where we had four, including a rescue I brought back from an overseas deployment. I also have experience caring for senior pets, including my childhood pet, a 14 year old Siamese in her final years, where I provided comfort, medication support, and close monitoring. I’ve fostered multiple litters of kittens, including bottle feeding, scheduled care, and neonatal support (including stimulation for bathroom and feeding routines), so I’m very comfortable with young or high needs animals. I also have hands on experience caring for dogs, including a family chocolate lab that I regularly walked, took on beach trips, transported safely in my vehicle, and maintained consistent feeding and exercise routines for. I’m comfortable managing leash behavior, high energy dogs, and ensuring pets get both physical activity and attention. What sets me apart is my genuine compassion and attentiveness. I treat every pet like my own and take the time to understand their personality, needs, and comfort level. Treating any animal I encounter humanely is my calling. It is humans responsibility to care for them. I’m a substitute teacher, so I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I make sure to stay consistent with each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I have no pets or children at home. I have a huge backyard that isn’t completely fenced, but property behind it. No smoking or people coming in/out for any reasons.
