“Alyssa was great! But I would rather review Rover...I thought the additional fees were excessive for cats. I could see it if 2+ dogs need walks..but to put out 3 bowls of food for cats was a little much...but I am thankful to Rover for providing the service.”
About: For 10 years I have cared for dogs and cats, I love animals and I can take care of them and love them like you. I can take walks daily, play with them, give oral medications and a lot of love. I can also take care of small pets such as birds, rabbits, hamster etc. For me, the most important thing is that you can enjoy your free time and vacation and that you are completely sure that your pet is in a home where they will take care of it and love how you do it, send photos and videos day by day so that you can see your best friend. My main language is Spanish but I can have conversations with you using the translator if that does not bother you 😉 I have the time, and space necessary to take care of your dog or cat or any pet like you would. I am the most time of the day in my house with my little family My house has a wide, fenced and very sure garden where your dog can go out to play, run and do their needs several times a day
“Super kind and very efficient care taker. Even got our skittish cat to come out of hiding. Will definitely use services again from Josie and highly recommend!”
“Raquel did a great job. I really appreciate her putting our Chewey order away too. (Always seems to come when I am gone.) She checked w/ me when she had questions and gained the trust of our timid kitty.”
“Victoria did a great job with my pups! One of my dogs is skiddish and doesn't like strangers. Victoria was patient with her and by the end of the week she was going for pets! My senior dog loved her! Thank you Victoria for helping us during this busy week!”
About: Ever since I was 9, I have taken care of dogs and cats from ranches to homes, and from walks to simple home care visits. I and currently PRN and going to school during the week days, with the PRN my availability may vary but more than likely I am available. My classes are only in the mornings with only one being in the afternoon, which gives me plenty of time with your furry babies. I am a great problem solver and will always work in the best interest of your pet. If I am unsure about anything that can possibly hinder your pet's safety I will always ask you. I want your babies safe and you stress and worry free.
“"Kristin was absolutely wonderful with our feline family members! We wholeheartedly recommend her for your kitties. She was consistently punctual for feedings and provided engaging, quality playtime. We especially appreciated the daily updates with photos and feedback – her attention to detail truly made all the difference!"”
About: I have watched friends dogs for years. I keep your house clean and i will be out before you come back. I love to cuddle with your pups and don't mind if fhey sleep with me. I also water plants and grab your mail. I am easy going and love to play with your dogs and will treat them as my own. I work full time so i am not able to let them out during the day because my lunch is only half an hour. I am very excited to talk to you and see what we can work out with your precious dogs. If you have cats i will take care of them and clean the litter boxes. Thanks for looking at me. I currently work full time from Tuesday through Saturday. As soon as I leave work I head to your house to care for your animals. I have a cat so I don’t bring your animals home with me. When I am in your home I do my best to keep their routine and care for them like they are my own.
“Kristin treated our cats like they were her own! She was super punctual, sent us updates at every visit and was a top notch communicator. She even offered to stop in again should our flight have been delayed. She’s the best and we would trust her to come back again and again!”
“Paige was very sweet and my dogs didn't act like they missed me all that much! Would definitely recommend - she is thorough and I will ask for her services again in the future. Thanks!”
About: I managed a pet store for 7 years. Handling dogs helping a groomer. I checked them in for appointments and checked them out for pick ups. Depends on what is needed. I work part time. I also work around my bookings. I’m very flexible. When I dog sit I make it all about the dog and treat them as if they are children. I prefer your home. I care for them by whatever directions or schedule you prefer if there on a routine or not. I love your dogs as if they were mine.
About: I currently have a Golden Retriever who is 6 years old. He has changed my life entirely in the best ways ever and has also made me more responsible and patient. Apart from that I have always loved dog-sitting for any family member’s pet and therefore I would want to extend my care and services for others! I am currently working part time and I am also a university student too! I am able to care for your furry friend during the weekends when you need time for yourself :) I care for pets specifically catering towards their needs as well as actively making sure I stick to their routines. Whether that be being fed, walked, or taken out for a potty break at specific times I will do it for them to keep up with their schedules and to feel comfortable.
“She did a great job taking care of our dogs so we could relax and enjoy our trip! I always got updates with photos to see how they were doing. She was also very easy to get ahold of and flexible! Highly recommend!”
About: I have trained my cat to use the toilet like a human, she is very nice and would love to play with any pets who visit. I look forward to working with any pets you may bring. I am currently between jobs so I am available to play with your pups 24/7 for now, the job I am interested in would be night shift as well so I would be gone whilst they sleep and back for play during the day. I am very loving and careful, I love all animals and have much experience with all sizes and personalities of pups and cats. I will give them all the love and attention they desire.
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. I am new to the area and would love to have some canine warmth in my life. Currently missing my dogs who live with my parents. One is a pure bred border terrier, Sadie, and the other is a mutt from the pound, Charlie. I moved to the area for graduate school. I have classes throughout the week and would be able to care for pets before and after classes. I have another part-time gig as a soccer trainer, which doesn't take up more than 2-3 hours a day. I live in an apartment with a dog park. There are also trails around my complex. I do not have anything like crates or cages in my unit for dogs.
“I highly recommend Elizabeth as she was quick to respond, punctual, and gave a lot of information on my pet’s report card so that was great feedback to have to help ease my mind about my big dog. I will be using Elizabeth regularly as my pup sitter now 😊”
