Cat Sitting in Wood River

“Amanda did a great job! Our kitty is sassy and takes a long time to like people so she wouldn’t let her give pets, but she sat with her everyday and made sure she was ok and eating, etc. Would definitely recommend!!”

“Jill is absolutely fantastic!! She loves animals and taking care of your fur babies while you’re away. She is super communicative and thoughtful. I knew our kitties were in great hands with her!”

“Kari was flexible when we had to change our departure day. She was also responsive to our messages when setting up the booking. We enjoyed seeing Kari’s photos of our cat while we were away. She took some great pics! This was our first time using Rover and it was a positive experience overall!”

“Courtney was wonderful with our beloved older cat. She follows the plan completely and is sweet and genuinely enthusiastic with the kitty and pet parents! Dependable and caring. We have complete confidence and have booked her again for our precious friend. Thanks Rover! 🙏✅”

“We're so happy to have found Jenny on Rover! She's super sweet and clearly loves animals. She took wonderful care of our two kitties, who, evidenced by the photos, loved her because they won't play with just anyone. We're so grateful for her patience with one of our kitties who needs daily medication. She sent thorough update after each visit and really great pictures too!”

“Our two cats were happy and content after they returned home. We were happy with the care our cats received, we would use Kyleen again.”

“Jessica was wonderful with our cat. She sent pictures and texts to let us know how things were going and even left us a homecoming treat. Jessica is a hard working, personable, and reliable. I would use her again and again.”

“thank you so much sarah for taking care of my fur babies on such short notice! you were amazing and the pictures were so cute ?”

“Lex is the bomb. She’s prompt, communicative and eager to bond with your pet! Even if your pet can be kind of a jerk, like mine. 😂”

“My husband and I were worried about going on vacation and leaving behind our fur baby! I have been hesitant about using a doggie day care or kennel service with multiple other dogs. Claire has come to our home on two separate occasions now to dog sit. Once for 4 days and the other she stayed for 10 days. She not only took fantasic care of of our dog, but she cleaned the house!”

“Not only is Raleigh a responsible and mature young woman, she is a true dog lover. Her passion for pets and dogs recently led her to working at doggie daycare. This experience gave her the skills and confidence to want to further her love and care of dogs. Ryleigh's responsible nature, gentle demeanor and love of dogs is in perfect balance to represent Rover as a pet sitter.”

About: Hi, I’m Gabbi, and I have over 6 years of experience caring for other people’s pets! I am new to Rover, but I have multiple pet sitting references that I can provide from customers that have had me hired me for years! I’ve watched dogs of all sizes from Great Pyrenees to Chihuahuas. I’ve handled hundreds of cats so I am used to every personality. I have also cared for reptiles, amphibians, fish, farm animals, and rodents. I’ve watched dogs who need vigorous exercise, as well as the opposite. I’ve cared for puppies and kittens, seniors, and every age in between. I’ve watched a litter of kittens that were still nursing. I have experience with cats and dogs affected by cerebral palsy, deafness, blindness, and other special needs. I am experienced in administering multiple forms of medication. I also volunteer for an animal shelter, which gives me a lot of unique situations and experiences! I have a relatively flexible schedule. I work part time at a dog grooming salon. My shifts are typically 6 hours or less, and I only work up to 3 days a week. I do sometimes have other commitments that are unlikely to take more than 4 hours at a time. I am currently only taking one online college class so that does not interfere with my availability. For people interested in boarding, I have a fenced yard and a 9/yo, 15 lb Shih Tzu who is very friendly. He is laid back and prefers dogs who are also laid back, but has never shown aggression with high energy dogs. I typically walk the dogs I watch at least once a day, but that can vary on the age and/or the activity level of the dog. I can also take them to a park, weather permitting! I always try to keep the pups experience as stress-free as possible, so I listen closely to everything you tell me about your pet. I try to stick to any routine that you guys share, whether that be feeding times, walking times, or anything else! I live in a quiet neighborhood where your dog will be safe with me.

“Allison was great! Attentive and communicative”

“Brooke has watched my Rottweiler, Roxie on multiple occasions and does excellent with her. When I mention Brookes name to Roxie she will look out the patio door for her. Brooke is very caring, and loving with animals, as well as a very easy going person to communicate with.”

“Amanda is excellent. Not only is her communication top notch but so is the care and attention to detail she had for my cats/my asks (her 1st sitting was for 18 drop ins over 10 days). My pets loved her too, she is clearly an animal lover, they came right to her on the 1st visit. I highly recommend her.”

“Shona and her daughter were great! Very friendly and took wonderful care of our dog Annie. Great communication and just did an all around wonderful job! Thank you again!”

“Samantha Barber is a very responsible and reliable person. She is also honest. She goes over and beyond her duties. She always put animals first. Animals love her. When they see her they come running. She even has animals that are not social come up to her. She definitely would be the right person to care for someone' s loved one. She believes that animals are like family.”

“Shelby is one of the hardest workers I know. She is full of energy and absolutely adores animals! She has rehabbed many animals. Animals that have been abused and even used as bait dogs she has turned into loving animals. She would be a wonderful asset to your team. Thank you, Alison Bell 480-276-3125”

About: I have spent my life with pets. I've fostered for rescue, worked with several pet food companies and am very educated in pet nutrition. I've volunteered at my local humane society. I'm an experienced pet handler and have worked with a pet relocation company providing boarding and long distance ground transportation. I have and excellent knowledge of dog breeds and breed specific behavior and needs. I treat every animal I work with as if he/she were my own. All animals in my care are treated as royalty. I have a special love for senior and special needs dogs and always welcome them for services. I will always treat your pet as a member of the family and take extra special care when taking them on dogs walks and transporting them. I'm bonded and insured and a member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters I work from home part-time so I'm always home for daycare and boarding. I also have the flexibility to do drop-in visits and petsitting in your home In home boarding and daycare are cage free. Pups are crated at night for sleeping depending on how many dogs are in the house, how well I know them and of course, what they're sleeping preferences are. I'm not a fan of crating pups unless its necessary for health and or safety.

“Loberta watches my dogs daily. I have a Boxer that is 4 Years old. I also have a 16-year-old Pugal (Pug and Beagle mix. She does a wonderful job with them she also watches them when we go on vacation. .”
