House Sitting Alford

About: I’ve owned several dogs/cats since I was a child, bathing them, cleaning up after them, medicating them, and playing/walking them. I now work at a vet clinic, where all or my knowledge has come from. I’m currently working full time at a vet clinic, this is more as needed and affordable. I’m willing to stop by prior to and after work as well as stay on my days off. We can discuss further and if too busy for your kiddos I won’t be offended. I plan to care for you pet as you do at home, including play time, feedings, medications, and outside time. If you are working on training, I can provide some help with that while you are gone (just let me know of instructions).

“I came home to relaxed dogs, clean house. Joelene took them for long walks and snuggled them. Can't ask for more. Their weight was stable. In the past we have had issues with them not eating when we go away. They actually seem to be looking for Joelene. I think Pixie and Chester adopted her. She sent daily pictures and updates.”

“Brooklin was wonderful. She stayed with both of my dogs for four days and did an excellent job. The house was kept as it was left, the dogs were happy the whole time. While she was there my cleaning lady came and specifically texted me that she was so polite and caring and wonderful with the animals. I will be using her again!”

“Cara was so conscientious and took amazing care of my older pup, Beau. Always in contact, which was a relief.”

Claire K.

“Lori is excellent at communicating with us about the plans for the weekend & our expectations for the dogs. She has been dependable. She truly takes time to know the dogs. The dogs are always her focus. We are happy to connect with such a thoughtful dog sitter.”

About: Having been around animals my entire life, I recognize that every pet has their own special personality. Sometimes, beautiful personalities require more attention, love, or patience than others. Every pet I have owned has been rescued in some form or another, whether from a shelter or right off of the street, and each one has brought their own challenges, but also their own beautiful ways of showing love. I have no problem with jumpy, hyper, or "mouthy" pets, or any other behaviors that might be deemed "problematic". My life with all sorts of animals has allowed me to gain valuable skills, including being comfortable around pets of all sizes and shapes, handling "pushy" behaviors, and caring for senior pets with specific health issues. Allow me to offer a loving hand when yours is not available. While I do work full-time, my schedule outside of the office and ability to travel allows me the flexibility to accommodate for any pet's needs. My number-one priority has always been safety. I've worked in professional environments with animals, such farms and shelters, and carry with me the valuable lessons I gained from those jobs.

“Robert was an outstanding sitter. Our dog seemed to love him. He spent lots of time with her, walked her, and sent us many photos. He also took good care of our home — despite a complete power outage in our neighborhood for 24 of the 48 hours he was at our home. When the ice in the freezer melted and leaked from the freezer, he took the initiative to clean it up and make sure it didn’t become a bigger problem damaging the wood floors.”

Leann C.

“Perfection! My dogs were well taken care of and all instructions were followed perfectly. I received a lot of photos and updates which I appreciate. I highly recommend her services, 10/10 dog sitter!”

“We did a meet and greet prior to leaving our girls. They loved Morgan immediately. When Morgan arrived today, the girls greeted her tails wagging '. We came home to two very happy pups. Thanks Morgan.”

About: I was raised on an animal farm so my family has had almost every animal you can think of! I love animals so much & I would love to help take care of your furry friend while they are waiting for your return :) I will try my best to work with your schedule! Right now, my job is flexible, so figured this would be another great flexible part time job have :) I don't mind coming to your house if it’s easier! OR they are free to roam my clean house! Each week is relaxing but I can honestly say that having so much free time can be boring so this would be a lovely addition to my weekly routine. I let your dog snuggle with me and watch movies if they like! If they aren’t a snuggle bunny then they can roam my house and choose a cozy section their prefer!

“Noelle is great and goes above and beyond. She stayed with my two dogs for multiple nights which is not easy. My dogs are lovable but they are rescues who were abused so they have behavioral issues. Noelle wasn’t worried and came to spend time with them ahead of our travel to ensure she understood their challenges and learned how to handle them. One of my dogs is people selective but loved Noelle from the start. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. She even worked on some training techniques with them during her stay. She is a true animal lover and it’s evident in her care towards all animals, treating them as her own. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! I'm a dependable and caring animal lover with a flexible schedule and a passion for helping both pets and their owners. While I'm new to Rover, I'm no stranger to caring for animals. I'm a proud dog owner and have two cats, so I understand the importance of providing pets with love, attention, and a consistent routine. As a parent of young children involved in sports, I'm active, organized, and used to managing busy schedules. My flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether that's walks, drop-in visits, or keeping your pet company while you're away. I know every pet has a unique personality, and I'll take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. You can count on me to treat your furry family members as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work from home and live right in town. This gives me great flexibility in my day to meet your needs as well as a close travel distance. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions provided by the owner.

“Very nice and easy communication however I had to reach out and ask for updates/pictures throughout the stay.”

About: I’ve always had pets in my household since I was little but have been actively caring for them since about 16, house/pet sitting for neighbors& friends, etc. I would love to take care of and watch your fur baby as if they were my own! I’m currently a nursing student working part time so my current job only takes my time away a few times a week and I’m always available after 3. Most days I’m available all day however, and in house pet sitting is always available!! I have a decent sized yard for your pet to play in and also have to fur babies of my own to keep yours socially entertained! And I’m able to crate any dog as needed! Or separate if they don’t get along well with others.

“Colleen was fantastic to work with. She was flexible and took great care of Lucus. He was always happy and wagging in photos she sent.”

“Samantha was a great help while we were away on vacation. Our dog seemed to really like her. She came by often and consistently to let her out and feed her. She went above and beyond, and took her for extra walks.”

About: I think what sets me apart is all the experience I have had with dogs. We have had dogs since I was a baby. We have had labs, Havanese, mixed breeds and doodles. My family always lived on a farm with tons of animals, so we always had many pups. We have cared from them since they were puppies and when some had cancer and were sick. I will make sure to love and take care of your pup as if they were my own. They will always be in good hands. I work from home, so I am available everyday at any time and weekends! My routine will be around your pups schedule. I will make anything work to make things easier for you. If pets are in my home, they will be comfortable as if it was their own. My yard is fenced in, so they can play in the back. I always have the water bowls filled and will keep them on their food schedule. My dogs sleep in my room with me, so if you don’t mind your pup will have it’s own spot in my room to sleep too!

About: I truly love animals and treat every pet like part of the family. I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter and have cared for dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, reptiles, bunnies, and pets that require medication. Since I work remotely, I’m able to give your pet lots of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’ll send you as many pics as you’d like :) Since I work remotely, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Walks are already a regular part of my schedule, and I’m available throughout the day for feeding, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions. Whether they’re in my home or theirs, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, with plenty of attention and updates for their owner!
