Cat Sitting Walnut Grove

“Mandi did a great job as always! Stopped in for a couple days to make sure my kitten stayed active. Very easy to communicate with and I love getting photos of him playing!”

About: I’ve spent much of my life caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, many cats, and other pets! I grew up with an Australian Shepherd, whom I trained in basic obedience as well as agility-course tricks (although I am not a formally trained or certified dog trainer), and cats. More recently, I’ve pet-sat for the cats and dogs of family and friends. This has included caring for an older pet with mobility limitations and a pet with complex health needs and a medication schedule. I understand how important it is to follow an owner’s care instructions carefully, especially when medications or special routines are involved. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m happy to play, provide enrichment, groom, go for walks, or simply give plenty of attention and snuggles while their people are away. I’ve even walked cats! I’m detail-oriented and appreciate thorough care instructions. As a graduate researcher, I’m accustomed to following detailed protocols, keeping careful track of schedules, and paying close attention to small changes—skills I also bring to caring for animals. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart. As a graduate researcher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care throughout my day. My research schedule varies from week to week, but I keep my Rover calendar up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can reliably accommodate. For house sitting, I’m able to spend mornings, evenings, and overnight with your pets while working around my university responsibilities during the day. Because much of my academic work can be done on my laptop, I can often study, read, or write from your home while keeping your pets company. For drop-in visits, I plan visits around my daily schedule and make sure I have enough time to provide attentive care rather than rushing through a visit. I appreciate having a few days of advance notice whenever possible so I can plan my schedule around your pet’s routine and care needs. I know that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine and the instructions you provide, including feeding, medications, walks, litter-box care, and any household or safety precautions. I’m detail-oriented and genuinely appreciate thorough written instructions, especially for pets with medical needs or established routines. Before caring for a new pet, I like to learn about their personality, normal behavior, feeding and bathroom habits, medications or health concerns, and anything that might frighten or trigger them. For dogs, I also want to know about leash behavior and how they respond to other dogs, people, wildlife, and unfamiliar situations. I respect each animal’s boundaries and won’t force interaction with a pet who is frightened or wants space. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, drinking, bathroom habits, or mobility and will communicate with you promptly if something seems unusual. In an emergency, I will follow your emergency-care instructions and contact you and/or your designated veterinarian as appropriate. When house sitting or providing drop-in care, I treat your home respectfully and make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secured when I enter or leave. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“Kristen was great with my 2 kitty babies ! I also had to change my booking dates very last minute and she was super flexible about it which I really appreciated :) she provided the care my cats needed while I was gone with minimal service and she provided great pictures and updates with how they were doing with each check in, I already booked her again for another trip I have coming up!”

“Alura is reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Alura has taken care of Poot over the past year (although this is my first time using Rover), and I really appreciate all the love and care she gives Poot. Thanks for looking after Poot!”

About: I have had dogs since I was a kid and have taken care of lots of other people's dogs. I recently retired early, so I have more time to hang out with more dogs! I am very fit, and I am comfortable walking little dogs and big dogs. I also have a fenced yard...which is great for doggy play dates! I am flexible nowadays. I can walk your dog (s) and/or take care of your animals when you are gone- feeding, walking, playing, and definitely loved on! Playdates are also welcome at my residence after meeting my dog so I can make sure they are compatible. I have a large fenced yard. My dog and I recently completed a dog training class. I can train basic obedience skills, such as not pulling on the leash. I really love dogs.....if I haven't said that already! The dogs I have owned were all well behaved. I took them everywhere: hikes, travel, camping, kayaking, etc.

“Steele took great care of Momo! We know that Mo can be a bit of a handful but he warmed up to Steele quickly and became best friends!”

About: I’ve had pets of all kinds including dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, birds, and invertebrates. I’ve also worked at a pet store for the last year and a half so I have some knowledge on freshwater fish as well as experience administering medications to animals. I’m currently only working part time, about 12-18 hours a week, so I have more than enough time to check on and play with your pets! I’m super flexible and want to do anything I can to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as they possibly can be while their humans aren’t home!

“Caitlin was great with our cat's medicine administration needs and was extremely professional with the timely updates. Great experience and will highly recommend.”

About: On my mother’s farm I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, ducks, horses, and a donkey! I have fostered multiple puppies and helped with their potty training. I currently own two dogs myself, a 2 yr old Great Dane and a 12 yr old Blue Heeler who has dementia. I understand the patience furry family members need, as well has routine. I do my best to make every pet and person feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m currently working on my Master’s degree and as a para at a local school. I am available during the week before 7am and after 3pm. Weekends have varied availability so be sure to check my calendar! I am a certified teacher so I have completed background checks and can promise I will treat your home better than my own during drop-in visits. I am also comfortable providing medication if needed.

“Wow she was wonderful! Do not think twice, just book her now!!! My little buddy is going to miss her, she took good care of him.”

About: Lifelong animal lover of all shapes and sizes. I have the most experience caring for cats and dogs but have previously cared for and am comfortable with fish, birds, reptiles and small mammals. I regularly pet sit for friends and family and dedicate most of my time caring for my own pets. In my spare time, I volunteer at a local cat shelter. Most of my time is dedicated to caring for my own pampered pets but as well as others. I regularly pet sit for family and friends and on average take care of a handful of them 3-4 times a month. I try to spend my time surrounded by as many animals as possible. I currently have 2 cats and 1 dog. There is a large backyard with enough room for running and multiple rooms available for isolating animals if needed. I always have extra cat and dog supplies.

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. I currently have 2 dogs who are both 11 years old. One is a rescue (charlotte) who we’ve had for her entire life and one is a foster fail (Fiona) who we’ve had for two years now. I fostered another dog for about 6 months who was disabled, she was a very happy dog and even without use of her back legs would make her way around! Most of my dogs have been small dogs so I have more experience with small dogs. I’ve taken care of one big dog, who was a black lab/basset hound mix so I have a little bit of experience working with bigger dogs. I work in a park and as a delivery driver so I am well versed in dog body language. I believe that giving an animal their space and allowing them to set their own boundaries with a new person is a great way for them to feel confident with me from the start. I am free pretty much every weekday! Weekends are a little more complicated as I do work another job on the weekends that will need my attention. But I do mostly gig work so, I am flexible and willing to have a conversation and work out a schedule that works for both of us! I recognize that all pets have a routine and like humans if their routine gets thrown off it doesn’t feel great. I will care for your pets by trying to follow the routine you have set for them as closely as possible. This can help your pet not feel like their entire day is thrown off by something changing, like meeting a new person or someone else walking them.

“Thank you so much!”

About: I've had a lot of experiences taking care of dogs and cats the maximum number I've taken care of is 3 dogs and 2 cats at one time! I enjoy going for walks and hikes and sometimes runs. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. Im used to walking my chocolate lab and German Shepard, pitbull mix together. My German Shepard mix has a lot of anxiety and we have been working with a dog trainer and a behavioralist to work with his reactivity as well as his anxiety. I’m very comfortable with dogs with reactivity and anxiety as well as dogs that are big jumpers. I’ve dog sat for dogs such as chihuahuas, labs, border collies, beagles, pugs, springer spaniels, German Shepard’s and mutts. I have a lot of patience for dogs that are shy and take some time to warm up. I have experience using prong collars, gentle leads, and harnesses. I also have worked with many puppies in training and would be happy to implement any training methods you are using. I also love cats and have a lot of experience with shy and timid cats as well. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I’m currently working from home with a very flexible schedule and have plenty of times available for walks and drop in visits. I have 3 pets of my own though and can’t stay overnight or do boarding at my house. If your dog enjoys playing with other dogs I’m happy to bring my lab over she is great with other dogs. I am happy to accommodate any routine your pet may have to make them more comfortable on walks and drop in visits. I’m very used to shy dogs and cats that may need a little more space as well as super energetic ones.
