House Sitting in Akin

“We just moved to Grand Junction, so finding a new sitter is always a little nerve-racking. Karen is amazing. About five days before our trip, our dog came into heat and she handled it like a pro. Our cat is a bit mischievous, and she also took that in stride with lots of laughs. I will most definitely rebook her for any travel I have to do at anytime I need a dog Walker as she is so wonderful with my animals.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals because they make me happy! What else makes me happy is helping other people out to take care of there fur babies :) I have experience of watching dogs and cats. I am very active and love spending time with animals I work full time! From 7:30 am to 5pm I am free in the evenings and weekends! On Mondays I work half days. I get done at 12pm It is me and my corgi and my apartment. I do have a patio it is unfenced. My corgi is a runner. I take him on walks, dog park or my parents back yard

“Caitlin was amazing, and we felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with her. We received regular updates, along with photos. I loved that Caitlin was very interested in making sure that she was comfortable with us, our dogs, and our home, before accepting the job. I will not hesitate to use her again!”

About: As a career animal welfare professional, I'm ready to bring my decades of experience in animal care, veterinary care and animal handling to you and your home to ensure you have total peace of mind and your pets are cared for and safe while you're away. My entire professional career has been in the animal welfare field. I've worked as a cruelty investigator in both major metropolitan as well as rural agricultural regions. I've worked on farm animal sanctuaries as well as in city shelters. I'm still very involved in animal rescue through disaster response as well as large scale animal cruelty case deployments. Currently, I work for/co-founded an organization which provides low-cost veterinary care services to underserved areas in the region. As someone who utilizes Rover heavily for pet sitting services while traveling for work, I know just how important it is to have a service like this available as well as what a trusting, reliable sitter can do for peace of mind while out of town and away from you pets. I currently work from home (when not traveling for work) which allows me to devote full days to pet care while sitting nearby in my home office. I have a large, fully fenced yard. Your dogs will be able to spend as much, or as little, time outside as they desire. I have two resident dogs who are very welcoming of all four-legged (and two-legged) visitors and will be more than happy to share all their favorite toys and most comfortable spots on the couch.

“Micheal was on-time and immediately gave me comfort and peace that my dog was in good hands. A gentle soul, adaptable to our needs while we’re on the road visiting Moab. Sent a photo during g the day to keep me posted that all was well. Thank you for making g it so easy for us!”

“Johanna took wonderful care of our pup, giving her lots of love and cuddles while we were out of town. She was flexible when we asked to change the booking which we greatly appreciated! We will absolutely ask Johanna to watch Luna again ❤️”

About: I’ve been caring for my own pets for over 5 years and have a genuine love for all dogs and cats. I’m reliable, organized, and have strong time-management skills, developed through years of playing collegiate and club softball. I’m committed to providing attentive, loving care for every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule as I am now home from college. I enjoy spending time with animals. I can provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I am organized, dependable, and committed to making sure pets receive the attention and care they need while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine and providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow all instructions carefully, and ensure pets have fresh water, meals, exercise, and plenty of attention. I prioritize safety during walks and playtime, monitor pets closely, and keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are well cared for.

“Kris was amazing with my two pups, Bailey and Murphy! She did a great job taking care of them, was very communicative, and helped me out in a bind when my flights were cancelled. She also left my home spotless and was a very considerate house guest. Will be working with her again! Thanks, Kris :)”
