Pet Sitting Chelatchie

About: I have had dogs for my entire life! I currently have 2 dogs. Both are Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Trinity is our senior girl 13 yrs old, and Shira who is 2. I have had the most experience with big dogs (mainly German Shepherds and now Rhodesian Ridgebacks). I have done Schutzhund with my shepherds and have done dog shows and obedience shows locally with my Ridgebacks. Our dogs and the ones I take care of are always my priority. I treat all dogs like they are mine so they get all the love, snuggles, and attention they want. I have a safe and secure home and yard. We have a 3/4 acre completely fenced back yard fenced to 6 feet high. We are in the country and have lots of bunnies for them to chase. We also have a creek on our property that in good weather would be fun for the dogs to play in. I have some agility equipment that I will break out when the weather is nice and let dogs go through those or show them how. For rainy days we have toys and dog puzzles to keep their minds active. We also have a shop that I can put up agility equipment when the weather is lousy and cold so they can chase each other around in there if they are getting antsy. I also do daily obedience with my own dog and any other dog that is with me and wants to join in. While most of my experience has been with big dogs, I will work with any style and breed of dog after I meet them and we get to know each other. I also have experience working with packs of dogs, as at one time, I had a large pack of both German Shepherds, and then Ridgebacks. I also have a lot of experience working with puppies and can help with basic training. I seem to have a knack to help dogs who normally don’t eat or are very nervous when being left with someone else. I have had many boarders who’s moms and dads said were picky eaters or wouldn’t eat for a couple of days and somehow with me they eat well, don’t miss meals, and many times expand their diets. If you have a dog that takes medication I can, and have, administered meds that their parents bring. But I will only administer prescription meds written by a licensed veterinarian to the specific dog with explicit instructions. Bottom line, I don’t just “board” dogs. They are part of the family and treated as such until you get back. They Are talked to, interacted with by my dogs and myself and my husband all day long. They aren’t just put in a room or left outside to fend for themselves. They are truly being loved and cared for from the minute they are dropped off until the minute you pick them up. My husband and I are retired so I am full time at home now. So I can board 7 days a week. And overnight care at my house will be my specialty as you never have to worry about your dog being left for hours during the day or night. I have a very “dog friendly” home. That being said my house is clean and fairly tidy. I clean daily to make sure the dogs are in the best environment. My goal is to have your dog go home with you better than when they came. If they are full of mud from playing outside in the rain they will be washed and dried before they go home. If their nails are too long I will cut them (if the dog allows). If they need to be brushed, I will brush them and often give them a massage…this is especially good for the nervous dogs. If they are scared and feel nervous they will be returned happy and calm from being pampered while you were away. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture including our bed and can play inside or outside with my dogs who are very friendly to other dogs and people. I don’t crate any of my dogs and don’t require dogs that stay with me to be crated during the day or night. If you prefer your dog to be crated at night I will follow your instructions if you bring the crate that they are used to. Many of the dogs that I board sleep in our bed but they also have very plush beds throughout our home that they can sleep on overnight or during the day for naps. Wherever they feel more comfortable sleeping is fine with me even if they don’t want to be in our room with us and our dogs.

About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals for over 8 years now! I love dogs and cats, but I’ve also cared for horses, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, and more! I’m a full-time university student, but I’ll still have plenty of time to care for your animals! Especially in the evenings and afternoons! I’m free most of the summer as well! I have a big yard for your pups to run around in, and a friendly little pup of my own! I can crate your pup if needed, or I can also drop in to your home as well!

“I can’t thank Molly enough! This was my first time using Rover, and I was nervous to have a stranger come to my house to check on the pup especially since I was out of town. Molly went above and beyond to put my mind at ease and even sent me pictures of my sweet girl to let me know that she made it and everything was ok. I will definitely be booking with Molly again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was at least 7, my family's and others. I absolutely love animals and love to see them happy and having a good time. I am able to walk, do a bit of training, feed, and bathe the pets if needed. My experience is more cats and dogs, however I have taken care of bearded dragons, snakes, and others. I am currently not working and have all the time in the world to help you relax and know your pets and or house is taken care of. I make sure pets are fed on their schedule, potty breaks, lots of play/a good walk or two. My happiness stems from making sure pets are safe, happy, and healthy.

“We are so happy to have found Theresa to take care of our kitties. It is working out great to know we have a reliable person to have her check-in on them when we want a short getaway.”

“Brie is so great! We haven’t left our dogs with someone off of Rover before for more than a night, and Brie made sure we were always updated and put our minds at ease for our full week trip. We never once had to worry about any of our 3 large dogs (all are rescues with their own quirks or on daily meds) it was SUCH a relief. Texting Brie throughout our trip was like texting with a friend! The pics of the dogs were so good and always very cute or funny. She even came over to meet the dogs one evening before the trip and then we did a trial run as well on a separate occasion - we really can’t say enough good things! She never judged my crazy dog owner ways. She even took care of our axolotl and fish! The axolotl eats live earth worms so it’s not for the faint of heart but Brie jumped at the chance to help! :) We will absolutely book with her again. Today is our first full day back home and I can tell the dogs are missing her! Especially our senior dog- he keeps going to the window looking for her! Truly can’t wait to book again with her!”

“Hannah has been great! I have been really happy with her. She’s been on time when she’s come over to let my puppy out. She gives good updates on how my puppy did while she was there. Hannah is really good at communicating, especially when an unexpected event happened and she was not able to make it one day. She let me know early what was happening and offered to still come over to let my puppy out.”

About: I have been pet sitting my entire adult life as well as my teenhood. I am well versed in new baby puppies and kitties, I know how to handle reactive pets, and I create a soothing, affectionate loving environment for your pet to be in. I have a regularly cleaned pet relief station outside, a puppy playroom, and several beds including my bed where I allow puppy to come and play. I also have a fully outfitted dog washing station. I work from home in a self paced job, so I am home almost 24/7, I am flexible and willing to adapt to last minute plans for families who need help and need it now! I have a safe playful enviroment with buckets of enrichment toys and doggie puzzles, a dog washing station, a designated potty relief station and lots of play time activities for doggos and cattos alike.

About: From the moment I first encountered a playful pup at the age of nine, my heart was forever captured by dogs' boundless joy and unwavering loyalty. Since then, my life has been enriched by countless furry companions, each leaving an indelible pawprint on my heart. As I embarked on my journey in pet care, I discovered the profound joy of nurturing these loving creatures and the immeasurable rewards of companionship and connection. I have plenty of time to help take care of animals. I am also flexible on weekends. Would be able to walk your pet midday and evenings. Mornings are tough time for my availability. I am experienced with setting up a routine schedule for a pet: morning bathroom break, midday, and evening. Lunch and dinner are typically done first thing in the morning and evening. A morning walk or evening walk also works. Routines are great for animals.
