Dog Sitting Anthem

About: I've cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, tortoises, and fish, and have experience pet sitting overnight for many families. I'm especially passionate about caring for senior pets and those with physical disabilities. I've cared for two elderly dogs with mobility challenges, including one who lost the use of their back legs and needed assistance getting around and going outside. I understand that these pets require extra patience, gentleness, and individualized care, and I'm committed to making them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also volunteered for two years at a cat shelter, where I fed cats, deep-cleaned kennels and litter boxes, monitored their health, and administered medications according to their care plans. I also have experience giving medications to dogs. While I'm not a certified trainer, I've trained my own dogs and know how important consistency is. I'm happy to follow your pet's established commands, routines, and house rules to help them feel secure and maintain good habits. Living in Arizona has made me very flexible with schedules, including early morning or late evening walks during the summer heat. Above all, I know pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want for my own. As a graduate student, I attend classes Tuesday through Thursday, but I stay overnight in your home and return as soon as my classes are finished. My class schedule is consistent each week, so you'll always know when I'll be away and when I'll be back. I'm fully available Friday through Monday. I'm happy to discuss your pet's needs to make sure my schedule is a good fit. I believe the best pet care starts with keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions, and any household rules or commands your pet is already familiar with so they feel comfortable while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy, an independent cat, or a senior pet who needs extra assistance, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, make sure fresh water is always available, and provide plenty of affection while respecting each pet's individual personality and boundaries. I also know how important communication is when someone else is caring for your pet. I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: Ive grown up with dogs and have six years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, along with pet sitting and drop-in visits for other families. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I cared for both of my family’s dogs in their senior years, including my 14-year-old dog who recently passed away. When she became sick while my parents were away, I took her to vet appointments, gave her medications, helped her with potty breaks and gentle walks, and lifted her onto and off the bed. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how much the little things matter when a dog needs extra support. I’ve also provided overnight care, including a recent weeklong stay with a puppy who wasn’t feeling well and needed someone with her around the clock. I stayed with her throughout the week, and was there for about 20/24 hours in the day, so she had the company and care her family requested. Whether your dog needs a check-in, overnight company, extra help for the puppy's or extra patience in their senior years, I’ll take the time to understand their routine, follow your instructions, and keep you updated. I’m currently not working, and am finishing school so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets attention and company. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays during the week and on weekends. I can plan my day around your pet’s usual routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, rest, and any needs your animal might have (medications, trouble moving, etc). When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep their routine as familiar as possible. Before a booking, I like to discuss feeding, medications, behavior, and any special needs, along with your vet’s information and emergency contacts. I’ll check that doors and gates are secure, use a leash on walks, and stay attentive to how your pet is feeling. I give pets time to get comfortable with me and never force interaction. I’ll also respect your home, keep pet areas tidy, and send photos and updates. If I notice a change in your pet’s behavior, appetite, or energy, I’ll communicate with you promptly.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up in a household full of animals, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I’ve had experience with all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, and rabbits, as well as caring for reptiles. I also regularly help friends and family look after their pets whenever they need an extra hand! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, including large dogs and those with more challenging or reactive temperaments. I understand that every animal is unique and has their own needs and personality, and I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m a remote professional, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can spend plenty of quality time with your pets throughout the day! Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or simply providing some extra company and cuddles, I genuinely love being around animals and making sure they feel right at home. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or not-so-furry!) family members! I work remotely, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and am home throughout the day! I generally follow a typical 7am-4pm work schedule, but I’m happy to coordinate around your pet’s needs and routine. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, potty breaks, or just some extra company throughout the day, I love having the opportunity to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! I’ve had plenty of experience looking after friends’ and neighbors’ pets while they’re away, including caring for their homes and making sure everything is taken care of! I’m very respectful, responsible, and attentive when it comes to someone else’s home and, most importantly, their pets. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family members in someone else’s care, and I always take that responsibility seriously. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping you updated along the way!

About: I wasn’t allowed to have pets as a kid, so I frequently visited my friends’ houses and play with their animals. I love my kitties and will love on your cats & dogs as if they’re my own! My kitties have FIV so I’m used to cleaning their space and sneaking supplements into their food. I work full time in the afternoons, so mornings are best for me! The earlier the better. I have time to take care of my babies so I’d love to help take care of yours too. I’ll take the best care of your pet in your home! A clean space for a pet to live is so crucial to their health, and I’d love to help you with that.

“Emily was so kind and attentive, our two boys loved her immediately at the meet and greet! She sent photos from her drop in and we’ve already booked with her again.”

About: I’ve even spent the last 6 years working at a rescue with large breed dogs! My own fur family also consists of dogs of all shapes and sizes, including a special needs chihuahua (he had back surgery and needs his bladder expressed, he just walks with swag!) and dogs that are fearful and skittish with new people. I also have experience working with a dog who is reactive on walks to other dogs. My clients also include walking 3 beautiful German sheperds and experience with 3 fun pittie mixes who keep me entertained. I am currently working part time at the rescue along with another client I take care of during the week so my schedule is limited at the moment but will be opening up more in November. I always go slow when meeting new dogs and go at their pace. I always treat other dogs like they were my own, whether it’s going for a pup cup or lunch after our walks, watching dog movies (Bluey or Scooby doo to start) or going shopping for a new toy. It’s always a safe and fun adventure depending on what your pet (and you!) are ok with.

“Madilyn was very communicative and did everything exactly as I asked, so I knew my pup was in good hands. So grateful for the help!”

About: I took care of my chihuahua when I was younger before she passed of cancer. I also took care of my lab mix for 14 years before she passed recently. I miss her so much and have a lot of love to give. I’m currently working part time night shifts at the hospital. I only work 2 nights a week, my dad works from home. I’m usually at home studying. i have a brick wall yard with grass, there is plenty of room for a dog to go potty. There are many napping places that my current dog naps at.

About: I had a joyful childhood growing up with dogs since I was little. Our family has had many dogs, including German Shepherds, Maltese, Chihuahuas, Akitas, and mixed breeds. I also have experience rescuing stray dogs. When I was 13, our dog had a litter of 5 puppies, and they all grew up healthy. I used to be the first choice as a dog sitter among my friends, caring for and spending time with many dogs, including a Border Collie puppy less than a year old. I love dogs! They bring me so much happiness, and I hope all dogs around the world receive excellent care! I am currently a freelance worker based at home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dogs! I'm mostly at home during weekdays and often outdoors on weekends. However, if needed to care for your dog, I prefer staying at home or, with your permission, taking them out for relaxation. In my home, I provide a safe and caring environment for dogs. They have designated areas with all their essentials and plenty of supervised playtime and walks. I prioritize their comfort and well-being while following any specific instructions provided by their owners.

“Vivianne is a fantastic sitter for our Leo! She is very communicative about the visit and our boy is ALWAYS so happy to see her! Vivianne just understands dogs and their behaviors and needs so well. Very happy with her service!”

About: I've taken care of pets in my home for over 10 years. I have a friend that breeds goldendoodles and I support her with caring for her animals when she has new litters.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic pups to relaxed seniors.

I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, and energy level so I can quickly communicate anything important to you.

“good communication, and my doggo seems to love him :)”

About: I've grown up my whole life with pets but since I was in high school, have been taking care of friends dogs, etc. I've given dogs shots, taken many walks and can also handle any specialty diets, etc. My priority is creating a space and environment where your pet feels loved, taken care of and safe! I work full-time but have a ton of WFH flexibility! I love spending quality time with snuggly friends and make it a priority to take good care of any pets I'm caring for! I love all pets - ones that are more relaxed and ones that are more hyper! I'm happy to crate your dog, take them for walks and give lots of snuggles or give them space if they need it.

“Richelle was an absolutely exemplary sitter and we could not be happier with how well our pets were cared for. From the initial contact to iron out booking details to the daily check-ins Richelle kept an open line of contact which, for first time Rover users, was so incredibly helpful and put us at ease which made it easier to actually enjoy our trip. 20/10 would recommend Richelle but also want to gatekeep her because she is an absolute gem and we will definitely be reaching out to her the next time we plan any future trips!”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have cared for many pets belonging to friends, neighbors, and family. From daily walks to feeding, playtime, and even bath time, I’m experienced with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m patient with shy pups, energetic with playful ones, and always make sure each fur baby feels loved and safe while their parents are away. I am a housewife with no kids in my life now. That means I get a lot of time for myself and your lovely pets. So my calendar is pretty free at day time also including some holidays. Free to ask!

I’m attentive, reliable, and can follow any special routines or instructions to make sure your pet feels secure and cared for—just like they would with you.

About: Started pet sitting back in 2022 for friends, family and colleagues. Have experience taking care of cats, dogs, fish, frogs, and plants. Must be ok with me being away from 7:30-5:30pm I work a 9 to 5 Monday through Friday and Saturdays nine to one so I can feed and walk your pets in the morning sometime between 6 to 7am. I can also do their afternoon feedings from as soon as 5:30 to perhaps 6 PM. I do my best to make sure the pets are comfortable by ensuring the space is clean and well-lit, their bowls full, and entertainment is provided
