Paige was fantastic with our dog Bootsy. She was communicative and patient when our schedule changed. We will definitely contact her again when we need a pet sitter.

About: My initial professional experience with animals was working at an animal hospital where I took care of dogs and cats. This work formed my adult fondness for pet care. As a teenager I had several cats and dogs in my household, and I was responsible for taking care of all of them. More recently, I have engaged in dog sitting and have been a pet-parent for the past 15 years. I am very flexible as far as my weekly routine is concerned, so I can accommodate just about any pet sitting request on very short notice. I am available for pet-sitting in your home so that your dog and/or cat (I also take care of fish) remains as comfortable as possible in the environment they are most familiar with.

Carolyn is doing an excellent job meeting my needs with my mini Goldendoodle. She comes each scheduled day on time, follows directions, provides prompt reports on her visits with my pet, and she responds promptly with communications.

About: Hi, I'm Haley and I'm a 25 year old Health/PE Teacher. I have two cats of my own at home. I have had experience watching many different breeds of dogs since I was around 13. I'm an overall animal lover, and I have worked with the humane society of Mount Pleasant through my school's program, called HATS of CMU. Additionally, I will love and care for your dogs (or cats) like they're one of my own :) I am fully available and fully committed to caring for your pets regardless of the time of day. Please contact a day in advanced for an AM scheduling request. I currently live in an apartment so I cannot house more than the two cats that I currently have. However, I will make sure to follow the schedule that you already have for your animals and will remain attentive to them and provide the quality care that they deserve :)

Yanya was great to work with as we needed dog care for our Goldendoodle at our campsite while we enjoyed a 10-hour train ride into ONT. Yanya was responsive, on-time, spent the entire hour with the dog walking and playing with her, and sent some great pictures/videos. I would definitely use her again if needed while in the area!

About: With 10 years of professional and compassionate animal care experience, I offer specialized services for pets of all ages, sizes, and species. Whether you have a tiny kitten or a large senior dog, I am confident and comfortable providing the highest level of attention.

This routine works great for most dogs as it mimics a typical household's schedule! 🐕🐈🐇🦜🦔 I am highly skilled in medication administration (including prescribed doses and monthly preventatives) and meticulously follow all owner instructions and routines. I pride myself on providing seamless care, ensuring your pet feels secure and their routine is consistent.🗓️💊

Bethanie was super responsive, professional and left no room for worry in the caretaking of our five four-legged kids while we attended our daughter's wedding in Michigan! She was also kind enough to help tech-challenged me with the Rover app as well as sending photos during our time away?. Very impressed and grateful!

About: I have taken care of many different dogs and cats for family and friends. I always had pets growing up and I currently have 3 dogs of my own. I’m currently working part-time teaching dance to the youth between 4-9pm. This leaves my whole morning/afternoon open. I do have weekend business trips here and there but most weekends are available. I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a crate for any dogs that need it. As well as extra leashes and harnesses for walks.

About: I have had dogs all my life, most of which were rescued. I also took a class from victoria stillwell on her website designed to teach you how to understand your dog. I adore all dogs and love to learn their different personalities. I never back away from a challenging behavior because I know alot of dogs have experienced trauma just like alot of people. I work full and my schedule can change week to week but my boss try's to keep it consistent. I typically work 7-6 monday through Wednesday 8-4 on Friday's. Anytime this changes I will immediately contact you and work something else out if it conflicts with specific requested times (such as dog walking). I walk my husky each morning before work regardless of what time I go in so you can be sure I will MAKE the time if I have to. :) I will follow any and all rules/schedules you have for your dog. I will also assist with training if asked. If I am house sitting I will do my utmost to keep the house and its schedule the same as you do when you are home. I am happy to train, play, or just hang out with your doggy pal.

Gina exceeded my expectations, she was able to accommodate my unpredictable work hours and she even moved around her own scheduled appointments so that my pup, Stitch, would have someone when I couldn't be there. I think Stitch really enjoyed their time together and I know he loved all the attention he got. I would definitely recommend Gina if your fur baby needs checked in on, walked, exercised, and loved. Next time I am in Rock Springs, I intend to check Gina's availability, as she would be my first choice for helping me out with Stitch. Thank you!!!
