House Sitting Derby

“Barb was fantastic! We were very hesitant to leave our dogs with someone new; however, we are new to this area and needed to find someone dependable for when we are away. We definitely found that in Barb! She put us at ease quickly. During the meet and greet our dogs loved her and it was clear that she knew how to play with and care for dogs. Her genuine love for dogs was evident in the consistent communication and photos that she shared while we were away. We will definitely use Barb again and would highly recommend you giving her a try if you are in need.”

“I reached out to Ryan because of his stellar rating and I can officially tell you what you see rated here is truly what you get. Ryan (at my request) kindly came and met us and our pets prior to our trip to get to know our dog, cat, and house. We sincerely appreciated that! Ryan kept in touch before our trip and also while we were gone with updates and photos daily. We had just moved and didn’t want to uproot our pets again and we were first time rover users ……..and Ryan did not disappoint, he exceeded expectations. We will definitely book Ryan again and we are truly grateful of the excellent care he took of our pets! Thank you Ryan!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a little girl, including my special needs diabetic schnauzer, helping with insulin injections and pills. Now I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. We love to walk by the outer harbor and play outside when the weather is nice! I’m a 4th year medical student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I have daily availability and lots of energy for walks and playtime with your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I live in an apartment near the outer harbor. I prefer staying at a client’s house where your pets will be most comfortable! We love to go for walks and I have experience walking up to 3 dogs at once on my waist leash.

“Mary was wonderful! Even though she was just stopping in she sent us so many updates and pictures! Archie doesn’t always warm up to strangers easily but within that short time they were snuggling and playing! We couldn’t have been happier! I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and my family has four dogs of our own! One is a rescue that we love dearly!! I also completed a two-year Small Animal Science program and currently foster dogs. Through fostering, I’ve helped 7 dogs find their forever homes. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, energy levels, and needs, and I’ll always treat your pet like part of the family. Pet care fits really well into my routine because I work a consistent school schedule as a teacher and have plenty of time after work, in the evenings, and on weekends. I love spending that free time going for walks, stopping in for visits, feeding, playing, and giving pets some extra attention. Since I’m used to having four dogs in my family, caring for animals already feels like a natural part of my day. I always make safety, comfort, and trust a priority. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and try to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m respectful of your home, careful with doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions, and I’ll always give your pet the attention, patience, and care I’d want for my own dogs.

“Dave was able to meet last minute and took great care of our pets and home!”

About: I have extensive pet care experience, starting with caring for my own pets since I was 8 years old and carrying on to now, including several years of doing in-home pet care and boarding for friends and family. I also have experience working with senior/disabled dogs, as I had an elderly rescue dog for almost 8 years. I'm comfortable with any breed of dog or cat, and am willing to care for multiple pets! I'm currently working another part time job weekends and weekdays in the mornings, so weekday afternoon and evening availability is ideal for me, but I'm flexible and can be available some weekends if necessary. I try to be as attentive and personable as possible as if I were caring for my own pets, and will ensure that your pets recieve any and all necessary care and attention!

About: I have done seasonal dog walking jobs for older clients as well as drop-in visits for several of my friends and family’s cats or dogs. I am also proficient in caring for senior cats as I have rescued two from the street. My kitties are quite independent and have an auto kibble feeder and they are fed wet dinner in the evenings to support urinary health. I am always hanging out with them when in my home as it is theirs as well. I am always checking on my pets and giving them affection. I am attentive and quick to respond which makes me very observant and detail oriented. Your pet is always safe under my watch and your instructions will be followed closely. In my own home, clients’ pets have their own room.

“Literally one of the best I’ve had! Amanda was responsive and sent lots of pictures. My dog struggles with thunderstorms and she was right by her side making sure she was okay. Appreciate everything Amanda!”

I love the animal for who it is! I look at all animals needs and wants all very differently because not one has the same. We all have feelings and even our fury friends do! I will provide whatever it takes for your fur baby to be happy, comfortable and in a healthy environment. I have been pet sitting, dog walking, exercising, training, keeping your fur baby active, doing therapy with their back legs, joints and mobility, administering medicine, shots, clipped nails, cleaned ears, bathed, brushing, feeding, constantly changing water, keep hydrated, pampering and just loving your animal like he or she needs to be. I took some classes and this one I took at my vet which I was amazed because they taught me how to drain the adrenaline glands and some dogs have a severe issue with that quite often. My dog does! There are classes that you can go in and they will take the time and show you for some things. I like to participate in these classes so I have knowledge when it comes time to if anything happens. I started dog walking at 12 years old. A long with other jobs of course throughout life. I have been pet sitting for almost 15 years. I am a full time pet sitter with all of your needs and wants for your fur baby as if your fur baby was my own! You see......

I make sure that all my fur babies are cared for, loved, given the attention that they need and all their needs are met. I am a traveling pet sitter now. I like to stay within the 30 mile radius even though I have done some farther away, but for now I want to stay with the 39 mile radius. I use to board animals in my home until I sold my house just recently. Now, I travel to my clients homes. I mostly stay overnight and for more than one day because my clients go away on vacation. I do many services for my clients. I walk your animal, feed your animal whether if it’s can food, dry food or home made food which I have made home made food for my fur babies before and still do.
