Cat Sitting in Elk Grove

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I have trained almost all my dogs since they were puppies. I have trained my own service dog. I have a passion for training dogs. I am currently retired, so I have plenty of time to play with and train your pup. I can take them for daily walks around the park as well. I have a fenced yard and a nearby park to take your dog for a walk. I have my own friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a cat, but if your dog does not like cats, I can isolate may cat from your dog. My big dog seems to have a way of knowing how to make dogs feel comfortable in our home. He knows when to interact with them and when to just leave them alone. I am retired so I have lots of time to spend with your dog. I try to schedule my activities around when I have dogs, so I can devote all my time to caring for the dogs. I have a fenced in yard. I always supervise dogs when they are outside. I try to set up play dates with a neighbor who also works for Rover. My husband and family members are usually around to play with and take dogs on walks. I am currently transforming my services to focus more on training sessions in my client’s home. My main focus is working with young pups and to start training from day one, although I welcome the opportunity to train dogs of all ages. My goals are to offer support to dog owners on how to properly train desired behaviors in their dogs. I closely monitor all dogs, especially during play. I train the dogs how to play appropriately with each other. I will only crate dogs if it’s for their own safety. The only services I do in a client’s home are training sessions with the client present.

“Kim took excellent care of our ponies. She was personable, timely, and a great communicator. We trust her with our pets, and we will be repeat customers. Thank you Kim!”

About: Hello there friends! Here is a little about me... I am 36 years old with 3 boys at home. I am a special education life skills teacher! I am off for the summer so I am home all day :) We live right next to a park and the creek to go on nice walks! I am a special education teacher on summer break. I’m usually only gone for short periods of time and can come home to do frequent checks and to give love. I have a fenced yard and live in a very quiet neighborhood to go on walks. I can make sure my home is on the quieter side if needed as well.

About: My ultimate goal and promise is to provide the safety and love for your pets as if you were still home. I know how worrisome it may be while you're at work or on vacation to wonder how your pet is doing and if they're receiving the care they deserve and i'm here to eliminate all worries. I have grown up and owned many animals ranging from dogs, cats, fish, turtles, and hamsters. I can confidently go on long walks or even be a cuddle buddy. Working part time on the weekends, I have almost my whole day during the week to take care of your fur babies. A bonus to the sad fact I don't currently have any pets of my own at the moment, my home and large backyard is free for your pet's comfortability. I grew up training my dog in 4-H and have raised puppies as well as kittens. I work part time on the weekends so I am free during the week to care for your pets if you are at work or on vacation. I have a fenced backyard and no other pets in my home. I will care for and clean up after your pet whether they are in your home or mine. I live walkable distance to parks and dog parks.

About: "I am a stay at home dog mom." About this sitter: Hello. Dogs and cats are a huge part of my life.

About: I have always had a kinship with animals. They do communicate and I listen. I had my first cat at age 5. From there, it was cats, dogs, birds and even a horse for me. As an adult, I have also had a rabbit. I work remotely full time. I prefer to also house sit and have a place to work. For dogs, I do a short walk in the morning and long one after work. On breaks , I check in with the needs of the animal. I make sure the needs of the animal is met. Not just food and water but attention. Do they need love or play time? I will be sure to know the current routine so we folllow it for stability.

“Cassie did a great job taking care of my two babies. Sent lots of pictures and kept in touch during the entire time!! Very responsive. Allowed my husband and I to relax while we were away! Highly recommend!!”

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).

About: Aside from having cared for my toy poodle for 12 years until he passed, I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family either during the day or entire vacation. Followed owners’ instructions and gave needed updates on pets’ wellbeing. I’m currently a full time student at community college Monday through Thursday, so while I am capable of being home in between classes, your pets will be able to have my full attention and care Friday through Sunday nights. I have a two story house with a fenced yard for your pets to play. I will abide by whatever instructions required to care for your babies, crate and frequently give potty breaks and walks. Aside from that, I would love to allow them to wander around and lay on the couch.
