Cat Sitting in Zorn

About: My life has been defined by a deep connection to animals, from growing up in a multi-pet household of dogs and cats to exploring the intricate world of aquarium keeping. This lifelong passion eventually evolved into a professional focus; I am currently a graduate student in Psychology and am personally training my own service dog, Disco. My experience goes beyond basic pet sitting; I understand canine behavior, the importance of positive reinforcement, and the necessity of a calm, structured environment. Whether I’m managing a high-energy dog, a senior pet with a strict medication schedule, or even a delicate aquatic setup, I bring a researcher's attention to detail and a lifelong lover's heart to every home. I’ve spent years caring for the pets of friends and family, and I look forward to providing that same expert, reliable care for your companions. Pet care is the foundation of my daily life. As a service dog handler, I live and breathe animal behavior and routine. My day is built around structured walks, training reinforcement, and clear communication. While I balance my graduate studies and work, my school breaks are dedicated to providing high-quality, attentive care for your pets. Because I am used to the responsibility of a working dog, I bring that same level of discipline and reliability to your pet’s schedule, ensuring they feel secure and cared for in a low-stress, organized environment. I provide a calm, supervised environment where your pet’s safety is the top priority. I am accompanied by my service dog, Disco, who is expertly trained to be neutral and respectful of other animals' space. This often provides a wonderful, stabilizing social environment for the pets I watch. I am meticulous about feeding and exercise schedules, and I am particularly mindful of safety—for example, avoiding noon-day heat to protect paws and prevent overheating. Whether we are in my home or yours, I maintain a 'safety-first' mentality, ensuring all environments are secure and all interactions are positive.

“Madilynn did a great job taking care of our two cats! We had an unexpected emergency and Madilynn was able to update us daily with notes and pictures of how our cats were doing. We highly recommend her!”

“Last minute booking for a drop in for my sweet senior diabetic dog that is half blind and gets several eye drops twice a day. She was able to accommodate any changes quickly and very receptive to feedback. My boy seemed content when I got home.”

Liz K.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we met, we felt completely comfortable leaving our sweet girl in their care. They treated her like family, sent regular updates and photos, and went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe and loved. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy pet care!”

“Jenny did an outstanding job caring for Reggie. She uploaded the sweetest pictures and provided a detailed report about his activity during their visit.”

“Sydney was great! She took great care of my pets, and made me feel confident in being able to leave my kitties at home. She was efficient in communicating and made my cats feel loved while we were gone.”

“Elizabeth was tremendous! Super quick to respond, detailed with her visit reports, and overall a very kind person - really helped us stay at ease while we were away. And our kitties were in great spirits when we got home! Thanks again Elizabeth!”

“This is our first time trying Rover, after being very disappointed by multiple dog kennel services. My dog is not animal friendly, but otherwise very social with people and has anxiety when away from home for too long. The choice was very easy when Gabrielle came up on the search options. She is a fantastic caretaker, follows instructions to a T, and Cherry and her bonded quickly. We can’t wait to start traveling more now that we have a trusted guardian for Cherry.”

“No doubt about it, I’d pick Kaitlyn to catsit again in a heartbeat. I am so beyond thankful for all of Kaitlyn’s patience, kindness, warmth, and compassion. She bonded with both our cats right off the bat. Our shy male cat warmed up to her very quickly. The anxious girl kitty took a bit longer to come around, but Kaitlyn made sure to go at the pace of the kitty in question. She was able to medicate our male cat, and made sure they both felt loved and cared for while we were away for an extended period of time. She communicated as soon as anything came up, and was very flexible! It was such a relief knowing our cats were in such thoughtful & capable hands for the holidays. My girlfriend and I could not recommend her more highly! 🩵”

“So glad Stephanie was available to care for our animals while we traveled. She was amazing, she went above and beyond to make sure our animals were taken care of. She was punctual and provided great feedback and photos that put us at ease while we were away. Would recommend her to anyone, and will be rebooking with her for our future needs! Thank you so much!”

“Janie is a Rover Rockstar! Her communication skills are top notch and she has a real love for your furry companion. She accommodates your every need and then some.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a teeneager and have been a pet parent for just as many years. I currently have two boston terriers of my own, Cooper and Chloe. I'm semi retired and have lots of availability. i love dogs of all kinds and it gives me great pleasure to interact with and care for dogs. I will feed, walk, play with your dogs and administer any necessary medication. I'm retired so I can work around any schedule you need me to.

“Madeline has taken care of my kitties a couple times now. My cats look forward to seeing her and she always goes the extra mile to tidy up, take pictures, and play with them! I never have to worry when they’re with her!”

Madison D.

“Brandy was absolutely wonderful with Mia! She took such great care of her, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mia was in such loving and attentive hands. It’s clear Brandy truly cares about the pets she looks after, and that means everything to us. We’re so happy to have found such a reliable and caring sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Brooke and Steven were very accommodating, understanding, and extremely friendly! My dog Astro gets separation anxiety if I’m away for too long and he warmed up to them quickly. I 100% recommend booking with them.”

About: I have had both of my dogs since they were puppies, Jamie (10 yrs old) & Peach (5 yrs old), and my cat since she was a kitten, Latte (3 yrs old). I have helped take care of family pets, neighbors pets (including turtles), and have helped care for animals in wildlife rehab. I love all animals and love providing them with the best care! I work full time, so I am able to provide care to pets before & after work. My hours are somewhat flexible, so I can make sure that I am spending enough time caring for your pet without it being too early or too late. I am familiar with crating and free roaming dogs; my older dog is crated when I am out of the house since he is prone to accidents, while my other dog is free-roaming. Different dogs require different care! I love letting my dogs run free in the yard to play and potty, but when it is wet or muddy, I will walk my dogs to make sure they can get their outside time without getting dirty.

“Alexandria was such an amazing help during the holidays. I requested her for a last minute sit and she was eager and willing to come sit my furry babies. It was my first time using a sitter who I didn’t know, and she eased my nervousness with daily pictures and feedback of the animals. Highly recommended!”

“Emily did so great with my boy. He was well fed, watered, and played with. She was very sweet with him and I felt great leaving him with her.”

About: I grew up with two beagles from the time I was three to twenty-one. Now, I have two adorable cats named Flip and Frankie! Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their furry friends while they are away. I work remotely, so I am able for occasional check-ins, as well as early morning/late evening walks. I'm available to dog/cat sit in your home, and depending on the pet, can take out to play and walk. I have been an animal lover my whole life, so I take great responsibility in caring for other people's fur babies, as well as my own.
