“Perfect fit! After adopting a dog who has some reactivity, I was worried I wouldn’t find someone to watch her and the rest of our crew (4 cats, a rabbit, and chickens) when we went on vacation. Julie put me at ease from the moment I met her and assured me she and Sasha would become friends. She did a long visit before I left and was there when we left. She let Sasha come to her and they quickly became friends. I am so thankful we found Julie. I will 100% use her again and I recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter.”
“I am so grateful to Jillian! She came to my house early early in the morning so that I could meet her! My cats were rescued from a shelter and don’t trust easily. She was so gentle and caring that she won them over. I only expected her to stay overnight but she came during the day also. My house was in perfect condition! My cats were well taken care of and loved. I am so grateful to her. She is truly an amazing person with incredible energy. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their pets! I will book her again and again!”
About: I'm super attentive and love keeping pets entertained with games and cuddles! I've also got experience with basic training for puppies and giving extra TLC to senior pets. I usually schedule my day around pet care, making sure there's plenty of time for walks, playtime, and feeding. I also keep some flexibility for unexpected needs or extra cuddles! My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe and comfy. I will stick to their routine for feeding and walks, and I'm all about giving them lots of love and attention until you are able to come home and be with your babies.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years now, maybe even more. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, goats, pigs, ducks, fish, and birds. Recently, I was able to get a job working at home, so now I am able to take care of more pets. I’m currently working from home now, so I am able to travel to pet sit or have more pets in my home. I do work 6pm-2am also. I take care of animals just like I would my own, make sure they are fed, comfortable, and get to go out to exercise. I will also say that I care for the pets depending on the owners preference.
About: I've had several different animals since I was little. I am an animal lover. I have experience with different animals. From a sugar glider to cats to dogs. **House sitting is 8 hour days Boarding is overnights Just for some clarification. I do not board in my own home. Please choose the correct service. If you need during the day and overnight please choose boarding** I am lucky enough to do Rover full time, got laid off due to my company getting axed unexpectedly. So I want to show love to your babies when you're going out of town or just on a date night! I do not board in my own home. I am happy to stay in your home and treat it with the upmost respect, while you are away. If that be while you are at work or away on a vacation, you can trust me with your fur babies. I do require a meet and greet before taking on a new client for my safety and theirs. *I have the right to refuse any client or animal for any reason* *I prefer to board in your home so the babies are more comfortable, especially if they are anxious. It will help keep them more comfortable so we aren't taking them out of their home and their humans leaving them all at the same time so I welcome that option as well*
