Pet Sitting in Combined Locks

“We have a cat that tends to hide from strangers but on day one after Sara was visiting came out from hiding and was social during the other visits for the week. She sent daily updates and pictures at the end of each visit of our girls being social and being helpful. When I needed to communicate with her she responded back in a quickly manner. Toward the end of the week one of the automatic feeders we have decided to go offline so she stayed and was able to troubleshoot and fix the issue while we were away which was greatly appreciated so she could breakfast the next morning. We are booking her again for a future visit when we have an upcoming vacation trip out of town.”

“Allison was punctual to every check-in, and followed my instructions perfectly. I needed a last minute sitter for my two kitties and Allison responded immediately! I was also able to schedule a meet and greet with her to show her around and talk to her face to face prior to me leaving town. Allison is also extremely friendly and I would certainly recommend her to anyone with kitties.”

“The kindest people! They have taken care of my babies a couple times and have made me feel so good about being away from them. The photos I get are awesome and they’ve always sent great updates”

Abigail R.

“Stacy did a great job for us with stopping in to let our dogs out when we had an overnight away. She sent pics & an update each time, made sure they got their meds correctly at night & left everything closed up & secure when she left. I hope she will consider watching our dogs again because we would love to have her!”

Sarah F.

“Monica did Drop-in visits for my three cats while I was away for a couple days and it went great. She learned each of their personalities and gave them all individual attention each visit. Would Recommend!”

Andrea R.

“Bobbi was very communicative and reliable with check ins on my dog. She did great with my senior rescue who is usually very timid and shy, but she got out her out for two walks a day! Will definitely book with Bobbi again!”

Sophie P.

“Ally was very responsive and flexible to meet our needs. She did a great job taking care of our dog!”

Tami K.

“Thanks again for taking great care of Luna & Marci! Travis has been watching my dogs for years before he joined the Rover platform and my dogs always love to see him. Glad he made the move to Rover - just makes it even better having booking, payment, communication all in one convenient app.”

Amanda R.

“Great communication and support for our pup. Jessica spent plenty of time with him while we were away and we loved seeing the pictures of him too! Would recommend!”

Sammi & Zachary D.

“Jennifer was great! She was excellent at communicating and asking the right questions to get at the best care for our two senior cats. She sent updates and photos, and we felt confident our kitties were getting the best care possible while we were gone!”

About: With many years of experience with pets of all kinds, loving and caring for animals is a passion of mine and always has been. I’ve grown up with a house full of pets my entire life. My experience has given me a natural level of comfort with animals and trust is established quickly. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, seamlessly blending into my lifestyle. Here’s how it typically fits in: 1. **Morning Care**: I start my day early to attend to the pets. This includes feeding them breakfast, refreshing their water, and taking dogs for a morning walk or play session. For cats, I ensure they have fresh food and engage them with some interactive play. 2. **Regular Check-ins**: Throughout the day, I take breaks to check on the pets, ensuring they are comfortable and have access to their essentials. This includes monitoring their behavior, providing companionship, and offering short play sessions. 3. **Afternoon Activities**: In the afternoon, I dedicate time for more structured play or training sessions, especially for dogs. 4. **Evening Routine**: As the day winds down, I prepare dinner for the pets, ensuring they receive the appropriate portions. After dinner, I spend quality time with them, offering affection and playtime before settling down for the night. By integrating pet care into my daily and weekly schedule, I ensure that each pet receives the attention, love, and care they need, while also maintaining a balanced and fulfilling routine for myself. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's home, involves a comprehensive approach tailored to each animal's specific needs. Here’s how I typically manage pet care: 1. **Daily Routine**: Establishing a consistent daily routine is crucial. This includes scheduled feeding times, regular potty breaks, and exercise sessions. For dogs, I ensure they get walks or playtime, while for cats, I provide opportunities for interactive play and exploration. 2. **Feeding**: I follow specific dietary guidelines based on the pet’s age, size, and health requirements. This involves measuring out portions, offering fresh water, and accommodating any dietary restrictions or preferences. 3. **Health and Hygiene**: Regular grooming is essential, especially for dogs with longer coats. I brush them to prevent matting and reduce shedding. 4. **Exercise and Enrichment**: Physical and mental stimulation is vital for pets. For dogs, I incorporate walks, fetch, and playdates, while for cats, I provide toys, scratching posts, and climbing structures. 5. **Safe Environment**: I ensure that the living space is safe and comfortable. This includes removing any hazardous items, providing cozy resting areas, and ensuring that pets have access to safe spaces where they can retreat when they need. 6. **Communication with Clients**: If caring for a client's pet, I maintain open communication, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns they may have. This includes sharing daily logs of activities, behavior changes, and any observations regarding their pet's health. By combining these elements, I create a nurturing and safe environment that promotes the well-being of pets in my care, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-loved.

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals at various ages/health levels/behavioral attitudes. I see every animal as an individual requiring specific care and love to learn about what makes them each unique. I grew up caring for chickens, had a dog in agility, along with a pet parakeet. I lived in Myanmar during peace corps and quickly became known as the "cat house" because all the stray cats would go in and out of my house--and I ended up caring for 3 litters of kittens alongside the mothers (thankfully getting them both spayed). I've done some fostering and overnight pet-sitting, and would meet your pets needs wherever they're at! I will be substitute teaching starting in the fall, so before that my schedule will be quite flexible, then afterwards I’ll still be available and flexible (I don’t plan to sub every day as I’m also an online student) but wouldn’t always be able to do midday visits. However, just ask! I only provide care in the pets' habitats as I can't guarantee my cats would get along with all animals, but I promise to leave the house looking the same as it did when I came in, use the appropriate leash/harnesses on walks, and keep litter boxes clean.

“First time having Jenny stop over to feed and let our dogs out over the holiday weekend, as we were gone the majority of the day. From the meet & greet to the last visit I knew they were well taken care of. As a bonus, she sent lots of pictures. Glad to know my pups were in caring hands while we were out and about. Will definitely be reaching out again when needing a drop in visitor!”

“Brandi is great to work with and my Brenda Mountain dog just loves her! She sent lots of photos and was great at communicating. I would highly recommend!!”

“April did an excellent job and I came home to two very happy cats. April did exactly what I asked her to do, and did it with great care. A big thanks to April.”

“Madeaya was so attentive to our kitty while we were out of town! Loved the updates and photos. She made us feel at ease that our baby was being loved ?”

Sara K.

“Aisha was great with my girls. Took them for walks, played, and kept me updated on how they were doing. My one is a very fussy eater and she took the time to make sure she ate. She stayed in home and left my house in good shape. Will look forward to using her sevices again.”

About: I love to walk, so active dogs who also love it are perfect for me! I am adventurous and am up for longer walks. Learning a pets personality means a lot to me, so that I am able to tend to their wants and needs. I am very patient with young, adult, or senior pets. Enrichment is very important to their happiness and I am happy to provide that for them. Although i’m not a professional trainer. I am capable of teaching simple commands and will encourage commands that are taught. I have plenty of time to spare, given I just got back from a month long trip and need some time to settle back in to my daily life. For the next while I will have plenty of availability. What better way to spend my time? I always carry treats on me for play, learning time, or just being the best pup/kitty. In a clients home I am more than repectful of said requirements. I will always make sure your baby gets their meal on time, and always has water. I will always clean up after them. They will never get bored, all of my attention will be focused on them to ensure they are always engaged while you’re gone. My goal is to make you and most importantly your babies happy, because then I am too!

About: I’ve been around animals since I was 8 years old, when my family adopted a miniature schnauzer. Even before then, we had everything from hamsters to fish and the like, kid pets, ya know? Following our dog’s passing, I’ve helped care for a senior cat that my parents had and also three different orange cats that my wife and I have shared over the last three years! Being a cat owner, there isn’t too much of my non-work daily or weekly schedule that isn’t taking care of them: cleaning the litter box, keeping their automatic feeder and water filled, giving them wet food and playing with them! Caring for your cats animals as I have in the past will fight right in with my schedule, and I can’t wait to work with you! I always make sure to take myself on a walk daily, and I’d love to take your best friend with me! I get in 1-2 miles daily, but I am willing to adjust this to fit your pets needs. In your home I’d love to feed, spend time and play with, and care for your pet.

About: I adore dogs! I have had a dog since I was born. He was easily my best friend. I would take him to daily walks, pick up his business, give him food and water and of course, treats and lots and lots of playtime! Most importantly, I love to dog sit for my friends. I think it's so important that each dog is loved and feels special. I am currently working part-time, so nights and weekends work best! I typically get done with work mid afternoon, so closer to dinner time is even better. When I am caring for pets are owner's home, I plan to be there with the pet the whole time. However long of a walk you need, I will do it! You can trust me to keep feeding schedules on time, clean up after your pet and tucker your pet out with plenty of play time.
