House Sitting in Alma

About: I have approximately 3 years of experience working at an animal hospital as a vet technician and kennel technician. I also have experience working at wildlife rehab centers and a state laboratory for animal disease and pathology. Pets that I have cared for are dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, mice, ducks, fish, parakeets, pigs, mules, chickens, geese, cows. I have been the “go to” person for all family members that have pet care questions. As a teen, I walked my German shepherds every day, and took charge of providing medications like insulin and heartworm control. Fast forward 25 years later-I have cared for many animal species! Most of all, I love animals so much, and my pets are incredibly spoiled. I work full time 9-5 Monday through Friday in Tallahassee. The default available hours are shown as 3 -10pm; however, I am available for home visits and walks as early as 6 pm Monday- Friday. I have full availability for Saturdays and Sundays, and I will update my availability for holidays. I live in Monticello, but willing to commute up to 30 miles on weekends. I have a fenced 1.6 acre lot. I prefer to do home visits since pets feel safer at their own home, but they can be dropped off at my house as well. I will walk, feed, water, provide medications, have playtime and exercise, and observe for any overall health issues. And most of all spend time and comfort them while you are away

About: I have owned or cared for my own dogs my entire life. Having lost my senior 'Stanley' last year I find myself longing for a dog's company and spirit. My own dogs have lived long lives - two for 18 years, one for 17 so I know how to give meds and care for their special needs. Stanley's petsitter recommended I try Rover - so here I am! I can come to your house, or bring your dog here to my 1/2 acre fenced in yard, with a dog door to the house and lots of time to share with your pet. I am retired and in Tallahassee or the vicinity walking or meeting up with friends. I have lots of free time to share with your pet. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard and a dog door to the house. I have a pool. I can come to your house if needed, or care for your dog here.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was 12 from dogs to cats and farm animals! I grew up with my own dogs, cats and horses along with chickens. Family and friends always relied on me to pet sit for them whenever it was needed because they knew they would be cared for just like my own! I treat them with as much love and care as if they were my own. I have lots of patience and skill with all ages of animals. I can walk, bathe, feed and play with your animals however they may need it. I currently work full time but get off around 4-5 pm daily and have most weekends off. I don’t mind stopping in to walk them in the afternoons or stay over night with them. I have 5 acres all fenced in and allow my dogs plenty of outdoor time but also willing to keep yours separated from mine if need be! My dogs are super friendly and love meeting a fellow friend.

About: Throughout my life, I have always been drawn to animals. I have grown up interacting with dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, and more. In 2016, my family dog, Cayson, entered my life. Through caring for him, my love for animals intensified, as well as my caretaking skills. In my career, I am a caregiver, and that definitely spills over into how I take care of animals: with love, understanding, and care. I am currently working part-time as a CNA, so my weeks are relatively flexible. I have reliable transportation and I’m willing to travel to best accommodate owners. I care for any and all pets through asking the owner very thorough questions, paying attention to detail, and extending the same love and care I have for my own pet onto them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats while volunteering in a number of foster and nonprofits so I have plenty of experience with temperamental pets and know just what to do to make everyone’s day better! I am available everyday! I am currently waiting for my seasonal job to start so I have plenty of time for you and your pets. I treat every pet I come across with patience and respect, we do not communicate the same however we can do our best to try.

About: Although my profile is new to Rover, I am well versed in the experience for years. My mother has been a Rover sitter since I was a child and I have much experience with her going to help at clients houses. I have experience with dogs of all ages from birth to end of life, as well as cats. I am an avid animal lover and owner of exotic pets as well. I grew up on a homestead and have experience with many types of pets including livestock! Dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, rodents, birds, insects and invertebrates, I have experience with them all. I grew up with 10 dogs! My schedule is very open. I am currently post bachelors taking a break from school, as well as pursuing my degrees in Art and Anthropology. I have flexibility in my schedule to meet your needs, and I love to have detailed communication to make sure that we are always on the same page. As a sitter I am prepared to follow your pet's schedule and specific needs to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away. I would want to meet you and your pets beforehand to make sure I have a clear grasp on their schedule and needs and follow them precisely. I am very detailed when it comes to directions for my own pets so I am prepared to give your babies the same care I want for mine. I have so much in depth experience with dogs growing up on a homestead, and many of those experiences involved emergencies. I know what signs to look for to make sure your dog is safe and healthy, and will always err on the side of complete caution. I have a strong respect for safety and health and want your dog to not only be taken care of but observed in depth to make sure they are getting everything they need from me. I hope to leave every client better connected with their dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was about 10 years old. Throughout the years I have cared for my neighbors and family friends pets along side my own pups. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. I plan my days so that walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins are done consistently and on schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and exercise so their pet experiences as little disruption as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can relax, play, and receive lots of attention. I make sure they have a comfortable place to rest, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to the pet’s usual routine, provide walks and playtime, keep food and water fresh, and make sure the home stays tidy. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free while their owners are gone.

About: I’ve taking care of pets since I was a child, always love to meet new pets and get their personalities. I love walking dogs and playing with cats. I have a full fenced yard and live in one of the best neighborhoods in Tallahassee. I work a full time job but always willing and able to sit or care for pets, I do work from home in my hours I do both, at home and at your own home depends on preference and pets personality, which ever you’re more comfortable with and makes the pet happy

“I would recommend Andrew to anyone and have no reservations booking him again. My two adult pitbulls adore Andrew. I'm borderline concerned that they like him more than me. Andrew was in contact with me everyday I was away. He sent videos and photos as well as exact times when they started and ended walks. Additionally Andrew asked permission before doing things. Despite being a fairly relaxed person with people using the amenities, I truly appreciated Andrew asking for my consent prior to using them. Definitely give Andrew a call and see if he's available to watch your fur babies. I'm glad I did.”

“Taylor took amazing care of our sweet Meadow while we went on vacation! She even brought her out of her shell and had her playing in her playroom. 5 stars isn’t enough for Taylor. She is sweet, trustworthy to leave your home & pet(s) with, and so caring. Thank you Taylor!”

About: I’ve always loved helping take care of animals! I have dogs of my own and I help my family and friends with their animals as well! I have mostly helped with dogs but I have helped take care of a few cats as well for my friends! Anywhere from staying with them, walking them, or just spending time with them! I will be sure to love your fur babies like I do my own! So I currently work full time at the hospital on night shift! My schedule is always different so it will make it harder to stay nights! But I can easily fit in walking, letting them out, feeding them, and loving on them! If your dogs were to stay with me I do have a fenced in yard and 2 other dogs to keep them company and play with! I could crate them if needed as I do crate my own dogs when I am not home! Me and my cousin so let our dogs sleep in the beds with us and we do let them on the furniture! We also have multiple toys that they can play with as well!

“Louisa did an amazing job! I have a kitty with special care/feeding instructions that require attention to detail that she followed perfectly. She also took great care of my home and provided updates on everything as I away. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals just from our initial meet & greet too. I always get so nervous leaving my cat when I go on trips but Louisa absolutely earned my trust and I will be booking with her again in the future for sure as long as she’s still pet sitting. Thank you so much again :)”
