Melissa was so great with my cat Sapphire. She was able to administer her oral medication and her ear medication, which she hates. And Sapphire is scared of people she doesn't know, and Melissa was able to gain her trust within the quick drop in visit time. She was even super kind enough to bring in our packages that were dropped off while we were gone!

About: "I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm also well know for rehabilitating strays to new homes I have a job from 2-10pm please keep this in mind when hiring me I will not be requesting time off under any circumstances. But I stay happy by taking care of animals I used to take in strays and rehabilitate them in my spare time but I now have a roommate and she won't let me do that. Anymore so I figured I could get another job involving animal care and my friend referred me to rover an so far I'm really excited for my first client. I am in doors only I have a dog yard at my apartment and a patio I take walks but mainly qe play inside but I have tons of time to play I have an open schedule! So I have tons of time to play and watch how the fur babies. I take them for walks we have a dog park at my apartment there's a dog park down the road I play wit them with toys I love going then treats and cuddling with them I have a patio. And a dog park available and I walk them and play with then they have full access to my home an di love to spoil my visitors I love taking care of your pets weekly routines are important which is why I try to ask questions before hand so I follow everything to a T. I have cats myself I know how routines are necessary to keep both you and your pet happy as I do it myself at home with my own fur babies. I follow the instructions left by the owner I'm well adverse in pet care whatever your schedule and routine with ur pet is I will follow I know just how important that is I do require an imperson tour before hand to discuss instructions and meet ur pet etc.

About: As a lifelong animal lover who has cared for everything from birds and fish to dogs and cats since childhood, I understand how important it is for your pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. Currently a pet parent myself and working professional, I bring both personal experience and reliability to your pet's care. My time volunteering at animal shelters has given me hands-on experience with different animal personalities and needs. I know how crucial it is to trust that your pets are receiving attentive, loving care while you're away, which is why I offer dedicated drop-in services that keep your furry (or feathered!) family members happy at home. I'm a teacher, so weekdays the availability for drop-ins would be in the morning, after school and in the evening. On weekends I am available for morning, afternoon and evening. I am a teacher in our local school district and consider myself very trustworthy. I understand there is a high level of trust needed to allow someone to drop into your home and care for your pets. As a pet parent I also understand the need to have a reliable sitter, rather than use a kennel. I hope I can fill that role for your family:)

About: I have cared for all kinds of animals since I could remember, from raccoons, rats, horses, and Guinea pigs to your more normal cats and dogs and lizards. I currently have a pup so I do pet care every day all day. She is a part of my family so she is never lacking when it comes to her care and exercise. I currently live in a townhouse and I don’t have a yard so we go for long walks on the edge of town multiple times a day as well as car rides. In my clients home I use the resources they have available (big yard either fenced or not) or we will just go for walks throughout the day. I make the care of the client the priority.

About: I am a huge animal lover! I have 3 cats, 2 are 9 years old and 1 is 8 years old, all boys, and I also have a 6 year old black lab. I take my cats outside, take them for walks in there stroller, play with there toys, make frozen tuna snacks, and love them with everything I have they are currently in the cities with my mom. My dog is very active we got for walks everyday, play with all his toys, LOVES to swim/bathtime and he’s a huge water baby. I also make homemade dog treats and ice cream! Anything my pets want they get and would do that for anyone’s pets because they all deserve the best life possible! I treat any animal with love and compassion and can’t wait for your pets to spend time with us! Currently my cats are staying in the cities with my mom and it’s just me my boyfriend and our dog! It fits in my daily schedule from the moment I wake up and until I go to sleep! Breakfast, a few snacks through the day, potty breaks, and supper time. Make sure they are taken care of, feed, potty breaks and play time. I also have a 6 year old black lab at home with me and your fur baby will have someone to keep company as well other than me.

About: I will care for your dog as I would my own! Experienced animal/dog lover, I’ll give your dog time & attention while you are away. I am calmly assertive and responsible and will give your pup hugs & kisses and/or runs and ball-throwing, whatever he/she may need that day. I have a flexible schedule and thought it would be a fabulous way to spend my day ? I am a professional equine bodyworker- so I work with horses on a daily basis. I have had multiple dogs throughout my life. As a matter of fact, I can’t remember a time that I haven’t had a dog. I enjoy dog training shows & interest in dog psychology. In the process of getting my dog certified as a therapy dog. We also have a pet pig named Lola. ☺️ In slower times of the year in my other animal business (specifically winter), I will dedicate time to dog walking when many are not wanting to be outside (cold) but dogs still need exercise. I have (limited) transporting experience also. I bring my dog to a variety of places when I travel & am used to keeping her safe although she listens to commands well & is socialized. I am confident I provide a safe environment for animals.
