Cat Sitting Waterloo

“This was my first experience with Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better one. Courtney was amazing with Toothless & Fury! She was attentive and took so many great photos which eased my anxiety. She did everything she could to make sure toothless got his meds even though he’s such a wild card/grumpy old man. Truly grateful.”

“Karla was great to come and help us out with our dogs. The dogs really liked her.”

About: I grew up in a home that always had at least one dog, so caring for pets has been part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. From helping train puppies to caring for dogs as they aged, I learned early on the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle handling at every stage of life. What sets me apart is my ability to meet each pet where they are. Some dogs need play and stimulation, while others feel most comfortable with a calm, steady presence — I naturally adjust my energy to match theirs so they feel safe and at ease. Over the years, I’ve also provided regular dog walking and pet-sitting for neighbors and friends, building experience with a variety of personalities, ages, and care needs. I currently have very open availability, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling and fully attentive to the pets in my care. Because my schedule is open right now, I’m able to accommodate a wide range of needs, including daytime walks, drop-ins, overnight care, and last-minute requests when possible. I’m in a transitional season professionally, which gives me the opportunity to dedicate consistent time and energy to pet sitting and dog walking — something I genuinely enjoy. Pet care has always been a natural part of my routine, and I’m happy to provide dependable, consistent care for the families I work with. As a devoted dog owner myself (I have a 4-year-old French Bulldog), I’m naturally very attentive to the needs, comfort, and safety of every pet in my care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routines — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided — so they feel secure and at ease. I’m mindful of each pet’s personality and energy level, and I create a safe, tidy, and well-balanced environment while their owners are away. I provide consistent supervision, plenty of affection, and thoughtful engagement tailored to each pet’s needs, so they feel comfortable and at ease. I’m also intentional about following your pet’s routine as outlined—from meals to medications to daily schedules—while staying attentive to any changes in behavior. I treat your home with care, keep things clean and secure, and aim to provide a calm, dependable presence you can trust.

“Marley loves her sitter. Shelli does a great job, especially with applying her thyroid medication in her ear twice a day. It takes a gentle hand and an understanding of animals. She has been so helpful and gave us a stress-free trip away knowing Marley is being cared for. Thanks again Shelli. We hope to use you in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Mariah, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to a big, goofy dog and two sweet cats. While I’m new to professional pet care, I’ve spent years caring for my own animals and know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting—and I bring a calm, playful, and structured approach to every visit. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a good walk, or keeping your pets company while you’re away, I treat every animal like one of my own: with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to give you peace of mind—and your pets a new friend they can feel safe and happy with. I currently am a Preschool Teacher so I work Monday-Friday 8am-4:30. So I’m available on weekends. Summers I’m off so I will adjust my days and times when summer draws nearer. Whether I’m visiting your home for a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I do everything I can to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely—mealtimes, meds, playtime, litter boxes, the works—and always give your pet the attention, affection, and patience they deserve. For dogs, I bring a calm, structured energy to walks and make sure they get both exercise and fun. For cats, I understand that comfort and familiarity are everything—I move at their pace and respect their boundaries while still making time for play or snuggles if they’re into it. Every visit is about making your pet feel safe, seen, and loved—just like they would with you

About: I bring a wealth of practical knowledge and a calm, attentive approach to pet care. My experience includes working with dogs on basic obedience and providing dedicated senior care, including administering medications. I'm highly patient and capable of giving your pets the personalized time and attention they deserve to thrive while you're away. I'm currently maintaining a full-time schedule, but my availability opens up perfectly for daytime pet care. I'm available to care for your beloved animals Monday through Saturday, specifically from twelve noon until five o'clock in the afternoon, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive service while I start building this exciting clientele. I create a secure, attentive environment where each pet's health, nutrition, and safety are my highest priorities during visits and walks. I'm diligent with medication schedules, custom feeding plans, and providing constant, loving care to ensure complete peace of mind.

About: Dogs seem to love me. Personally I've had 3 dogs in my lifetime, and have taken care of many with a business. I am an animal fanatic. I can guarantee that your pet will be in safe hands with me. I am very pet friendly and you can trust that I will take care of any needs that your pet has. I'm currently working full time but I'm looking to get out of the position I'm in to be a pet caregiver as well as a house cleaner. I currently have 2 dogs and LOTS of snails. I am religious when it comes to pet feeding, grooming and any medications. These animals are our family. We may not have them our whole life, but they have us their whole life. We need to make it the best one they could ever dream of. (I don't know about dog psychology but I can assume they dream. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain my dog running in his sleep 🤣😉)

“Chelsea is a reliable and caring pet sitter who goes the extra mile when taking care of pets. She was able to help us on short notice and we felt very assured that our cats were in good hands. She also gives great updates on the pets and responds quickly whenever we contact her. We plan to schedule more pet sitting with her and I would definitely recommend her to others.”

About: Hi there, I’m Brittany. Animals make me happy. When I see a pet, I see a child. They are a member of the family. They have the sweetest souls and biggest hearts and I wouldn’t treat them any other way. I have one dog and I was raised with 3 dogs and 2 cats. I have always been an animal lover and I always will be. Every day I take my dog on at least one walk and many times I walk him multiple times per day. I treat my fur babies like family and how I would want to be treated. I am not only here to help you during your busy schedule but to become a friend to you and your fur baby. To house sit during longer durations, I can travel to anywhere. I would need to bring my golden retriever with me if your pets like to socialize and make new friends, he loves other dogs and gets along with them great, he is very social and has been to many dog parks and households with pets, if not I may be able to find someone to take care of him for me during that time. For drop in visits, I can assist on my own or bring my dog for some company. I am also available on certain days for doggy day care and boarding. When I have a dog stay with me I treat that dog like my own and it would have an amazing friend to play with. Pets are allowed on furniture, I have treats, toys, tons of dog beds, and a fenced in yard. I will also take your dog out on walks and play fetch or tug to burn energy. If you choose to book me, thank you for trusting me and I won’t disappoint you! My schedule is very flexible, and I would love to help accommodate what you need help with, whether that is daily or weekly. I am always picking up new work bookings. I have booked a lot off of rover so I have additional referrals if you would like them! I will treat your animals and home as if it were my own, with love, trust, and respect. I have helped out for many years taking care of people's pets and homes. I have many references.

About: I have been taking care of animals for over 20 years. I'm comfortable with animals of all ages and sizes. I have experience with administering medicine, post-surgery care and multiple animals in one setting. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I have plenty of time to spend with your sweet pups. There will be a lot of cuddles and playtime! We live on 6 acres and have a poodle, a sheepadoodle and two children. We play outside often. We always make sure that the animals safety is top priority.
