She is a very responsible caregiver and anyone would be lucky to have her take care of their pet.”

Andrew is also very attentive to the needs of the pet, and he does it on point. He knows how to handle any types of situations. He even trained my dog new tricks and to behave well.

“Very reliable and caring. She took good care of my pet for 2 days and provided a great environment Would definitely recommend her services to others.”

“My cat has a reputation for being picky so I was pleasantly surprised to get a photo of her out and about with Stephanie on the first visit. (In contrast, she completely snubbed my friend who visited in the afternoon, someone she knows and has stayed with before.) House and cat were in good shape when I returned after two weeks. I have no regrets about hiring Stephanie!”

“Qi is the most professional and my animals loved her. When I met her my pets instantly liked her and were following her instantly to get some petting. I felt she knew what she was doing and that my animals would be safe. I not only was satisfied but she was beyond what I expected. She sent photos and videos each time she visited with a thorough description of her daily visits. Don't hesitate, book her, you won't be disappointed.”

About: Having dogs all my life and now managing a pack of four, I’ve developed a deep understanding of pet care that feels both rewarding and complex. Here are some insights from my experience: Understanding Individual Needs: Each of my dogs has their own personality, dietary preferences, and health needs. I’ve become adept at recognizing and addressing these individual requirements, ensuring each of my dogs feels loved and cared for. Routine and Structure: With multiple dogs, maintaining a consistent routine is crucial. I have a regular schedule for feeding, walks, and play sessions that accommodates the needs of all my dogs, promoting harmony and reducing conflicts. Training and Socialization: Training four dogs, especially at different ages or stages, requires a lot of patience and consistency. I've learned the ropes of basic obedience training and managing behaviors like barking or jumping, making sure to spend individual training time with each dog. Health Management: Keeping track of vaccinations, flea and tick prevention, and regular vet checkups for four dogs can be quite the logistical challenge. I’ve developed a system for monitoring each dog’s health, recognizing signs of illness early, and managing any chronic conditions. Exercise and Play: My dogs have varying energy levels and play preferences. I ensure that each dog gets enough physical activity tailored to their interests, whether it’s through walks, runs, or specific toys for playtime. Emotional Bonding: Having multiple dogs allows for deep emotional connections. Each of my dogs offers unique companionship, and I’ve learned to build a trusting relationship with each, understanding their unique ways of expressing affection and needs. Logistical Challenges: Managing day-to-day life with four dogs presents its own set of challenges, such as traveling, finding pet-friendly accommodations, or even just taking all of them to the vet. I’ve become quite skilled at navigating these challenges efficiently. Financial Commitment: Owning multiple dogs means a significant financial commitment. I’m always budgeting for their ongoing needs, from food and healthcare to grooming and emergency care. Community and Support: Being part of a community of dog owners has been immensely helpful. Whether it’s for advice, support, or sharing resources, having a network of fellow pet lovers enhances my pet care experience. Personal Growth and Joy: Most importantly, having dogs all my life, especially multiple at a time, provides a profound sense of joy and fulfillment. It’s taught me responsibility, compassion, and the pure pleasure of unconditional love. Each day with my dogs is a learning experience, filled with moments of joy and the occasional challenge. I wouldn’t have it any other way; they truly enrich my life. Incorporating pet care into a daily routine involves thoughtful planning and a bit of flexibility. Here’s how I’ve managed to integrate the care of my four dogs seamlessly into my daily life: Morning Routine: My day starts early with morning care for my dogs. This includes feeding them their first meal and taking them out for a morning walk. These walks are crucial not just for their physical health but also for setting a calm tone for the day. Midday Check-ins: If my schedule allows, I try to check in on my dogs around midday. This might involve a quick play session in the yard, some cuddle time, or just ensuring they have fresh water and are comfortable. If I'm at work or away, I sometimes rely on a dog walker or a pet camera to keep tabs on them. Afternoon Exercise: After work, I dedicate time to more vigorous exercise with my dogs. This could be a longer walk, a trip to a dog park, or focused playtime with toys. This not only helps them burn off any excess energy but also strengthens our bond. Evening Wind Down: Evenings are for winding down. I feed them their last meal, and we have a gentle play session or a short walk to help them settle for the night. This routine helps signal that it's time to calm down and prepare for bedtime. Training and Grooming: I integrate training and grooming into our weekly routine rather than daily, unless something specific needs to be addressed. Regular grooming sessions are scheduled to keep them healthy and comfortable, while training sessions help maintain their manners and skills. Health Management: Managing their health is an ongoing part of our routine. I keep a calendar for vet appointments, medication schedules, and preventive care treatments to ensure nothing is missed. Quality Time: Beyond just the necessities, I make sure to spend quality one-on-one time with each dog every day. Whether it’s cuddling on the couch, playing fetch, or practicing new tricks, this time is precious for maintaining our emotional connection. Flexibility and Emergency Preparedness: I always try to remain flexible in my routine to accommodate unexpected issues like a sick pet or an unplanned vet visit. Having a plan for emergencies, including a pet emergency kit and saved vet contacts, is a crucial part of our routine. By integrating these activities into my daily schedule, I ensure my dogs are healthy, happy, and well-integrated into my life. It’s about balancing their needs with my own and making sure that caring for them is a joy, not a chore. When it comes to caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, ensuring safety, trust, and a suitable environment is paramount. Here's how I approach each aspect: 1. **Safety**: My primary concern is always the safety of the pets under my care. At home, I ensure that all areas accessible to pets are secure and free from hazards, such as toxic plants, unprotected electrical cords, and small objects that could be swallowed. I also use child-proof locks on cabinets containing cleaning supplies or medications. When caring for pets in a client's home, I conduct a thorough walkthrough to identify and mitigate potential dangers, and I familiarize myself with the layout so I can prevent pets from escaping or getting into unsafe areas. 2. **Trust**: Building trust with the pets I care for and their owners is crucial. I achieve this by maintaining consistent routines and handling all pets with patience and respect. I make a point of learning each pet's likes, dislikes, and any unique behaviors or needs. This helps me to interact with them in a way that is comforting and reassuring, which is especially important in a new or unfamiliar environment. Communication is also key—I provide regular updates to pet owners to assure them that their beloved animals are happy and well taken care of. 3. **Environment**: Creating a welcoming and comfortable environment is essential for any pet’s well-being. In my home, I have designated pet-friendly spaces where pets can relax and play safely. These areas are equipped with toys, comfortable bedding, and ample space to move around. When I’m in a client’s home, I strive to maintain the environment they’ve set up for their pet, following any specific instructions they've given me regarding feeding, play, or relaxation areas to ensure consistency for the pet. 4. **Adaptability and Responsiveness**: Every pet has its own personality and needs, so being adaptable and responsive is vital. If a pet seems anxious or behaves unusually, I take immediate steps to address their discomfort by modifying the environment or my approach to their care, consulting with the owner if needed. By focusing on safety, building trust through reliable and compassionate care, and ensuring a pet-friendly environment, I ensure that the pets I look after are safe, happy, and healthy. This holistic approach has helped me establish lasting relationships with the pets and their owners.

About: We’ve grown up around both cats and dogs and loved taking care of them. As we both work from home and have additional free time we’d love to meet your family members! We both work from home and have a lot of free time in addition to enjoying long walks in our calm sector and our fenced back yard. We’ve always viewed pets as our family members and treat as well if not better than other humans. To us animals are like kids and need to be treated with patience and love.

“Anja was amazing with our two cats! They are not used to us leaving and Anja really took her time to get them to feel comfortable around her. She went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have been happier!”

“This is my first time using Rover, I was very hesitate to use this service as I have never left my cat in the care of a stranger before. I have to say that I was very pleased with the service Jessica provided. She took the time to meet me beforehand and while I was away she sent me daily pics and videos. She really put my mind at ease and it was so easy to communicate with her. I no longer have to worry about planning future vacations because I know that I can count on her for taking care of my fur baby. Thank you Jessica for everything ?”

“I have walked my dogs for about 5 years and walks were long and short and i've walked them during winter and summer so the weather is no issue.”

“Paola is a no brainer when I think of who can take care of Oreo the better. She has many years of experience taking care of many cats, the longest was her own cat that lived 15 years. She is punctual, responsible, and caring and will treat your animals like if they were her own. I blindly recommend Paola to take care of your loved ones.”
