Pet Sitting Fernwood

About: No kids or pets of my own and a big Jeep means my outdoorsy lifestyle is open and flexible for your fur babies. I'm experienced with dogs from all walks of life. You name it, I'm down for it. I have confident experience with reactive dogs and big breeds especially. I'm a part time barista, working mostly evenings, so morning and mid-day walks work best for me. I am available for night walks after work as well, if that works for your schedule. Weekend boarding is best with advance notice, as I occasionally pick up Friday and Saturday shifts at the coffee shop. I live on the second floor with access to a fenced in backyard. Hardwood floors in home. No kids or other pets of my own. I do have houseplants if your dog is sensitive to soils, fungus, or has a history of plant eating. Crating is an option I'm comfortable with if that's what helps your furry friend feel safe, though my ideal set up is to share my whole space and enriching lifestyle with your pup, or to visit them in their home where they're already comfortable. I'm mobile with the Jeep as well, so we don't have to stick to my neighborhood if your dog is reactive and needs some extra space.

“Angie was great with my little gal, Siggy! Even though she is pretty shy, Angie was patient and gave her plenty of snuggles and love. She was super responsive the whole time, and you can tell she's a genuine animal lover. New go to cat sitter :)”

About: I have cared for and raised a number of pets over the years. Would love to be able to care for yours. Very loving home. I am self employed and able to make my own hours. I would be able to give your pet all the time and attention he/she needs. I would care for only one dog at a time so I can give them my sole attention. I do have a 8 year old cat but he has been raised around dogs his whole life. I lost my 12 year old Doberman back in April of last year. I cared for him from pup on up to his very last days. I am very patient and loving with animals as I have always had a pet in my home. I love going on walks and live close to the lake which has wonderful walking trails. Your pet would get plenty of love, attention and exercise 😊

“Berenice had great communication and was able to take a last minute l booking. She was also able to adjust the time she came. We appreciated her flexibility and attentiveness!”

“During the visit there was a moderate snafu with the Rover app showing visit times. When recognized Dev quickly remedied the situation by doing a visit later in the day. Dev followed all the detailed instructions to take care of my old guys!”

“Lynette took great care of my two kitties. She was very communicative and timely in her responses and made sure she had clear instructions on their care. I highly recommend her and plan to book again in the future!”

“Jessica was great. My dog appeared to really take to her. She even went far above what she had to do. She kept a good eye on his overall well being too. I will plan to use her again for any of my future trips.”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life — in 28 years, there have only been 7 days I've lived without one! I grew up in a home with five dogs, including four Bernese Mountain Dogs and a Sheltie. My family also responsibly bred Berners and Shelties, and I grew up around training, proper care, and learning to understand each dog's individual personality. Today, my own dog is still a huge part of my life. I also prepare homemade food for my dog and have learned a lot through that experience about paying attention to ingredients, sensitivities, age, energy levels, and individual needs. If your dog has a unique routine, dietary preferences, or special considerations, I'm happy to listen and follow the routine you've established for them. I'm comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities, routines, and needs, and I believe patience and consistency go a long way. Most importantly, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I treat every dog like they're part of the family — with plenty of attention, patience, playtime, and care while you're away. 🐾 Pets are already a big part of my everyday life. I have always had dogs and currently have three cats of my own, so feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and keeping up with their routines are naturally part of my day. I’m also intentional about making time for the pets I care for. I’d rather give a pet my full attention than simply “check a box” and leave. I’m happy to work around their normal routine and give them the consistency they’re used to while their family is away. 🐾 I start by learning your pet’s normal routine — feeding times, walks, medications, favorite activities, boundaries, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. Then I stick to those instructions as closely as possible. I believe good pet care is about paying attention to the little things. I watch for changes in appetite, energy, behavior, bathroom habits, or anything else that seems unusual, and I’ll communicate with you if I notice something worth knowing about. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable, not like their routine has suddenly been turned upside down. Whether they want a long walk and lots of playtime or prefer to curl up somewhere quiet, I’ll meet them where they are. 🐶🐱

“As always, very dependable and my girls love her! Kaia and Pepper were well taken care of and I looked forward to reading the check in notes and seeing their pictures. I can appreciate the thoughtfulness and care Elaine provides. I will continue to use Elaine whenever she is available. 😊”

“Taylor was great to work with. He was punctual and took time to love on my baby and make sure she was doing good. They played with her favorite toys and cuddled a bit. I knew that my kitty was in great hands with Taylor and I trust him like family with my babies.”

About: Animals of all shapes and sizes make me so incredibly happy! I LOVE dogs and cats so much and truly have a soft spot for both, as a person who grew up with dogs and now is a proud cat mom to 2 crimebags! I will treat your pet as my own and give them all the love and play time! I have helped raise puppies growing up so I have that experience along with basic training! It would be an honor to help watch over your precious fur child for you, and I can't wait to make more furry friends!

“Tanya has been awesome from the get go, becoming Gary’s best friend in a matter of seconds. Our little fur ball was wonderfully taken care of during our leave.”

About: Currently an owner of 2 dogs, one that is senior. I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love them! New to the area and would love to come care for your pet and meet new friends, furry and not! I work from home and travel about once a month. I am fairly flexible to pop in during the day and let dogs out, feed them and take them on walks! I go above and beyond for my personal pets and I would do the same for yours! They are special and I want to be sure they have the best life while we have them!

“Sydney did a great job caring for our cats! Always left the litter box cleaned and made sure their automatic feeders were working as expected.”

About: I’m a 5-star sitter with 25+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors, special-needs pets, and animals who require daily medication. I’m trained in both oral and injected medication administration, and I pay close attention to behavior, mobility, appetite, and comfort, especially for senior animals or those with anxiety, chronic conditions, or health concerns. In addition to home companion animals, I’ve also worked with horses and other farm animals such as goats and poultry, which taught me calm handling, awareness of body language, and how to build trust with strong, sensitive, or high-energy animals. I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule, feeding plan, and daily habits. I treat your home with the same respect: I leave everything clean and tidy. I’ve house-sat for multiple families and am proud to have earned repeat clients who trust me with their pets and their home. I communicate clearly, respond quickly, and always send video or photo updates so you can relax while you’re away.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have had them in my home since childhood, there’s never been an animal I don’t love and I have years of experience with pet sitting! I’m currently working 5 days a week but I am free all day Sunday/monday and during the week after 6 to give your pets my full attention! I will follow any and all guidelines in your home to make sure your pet is safe 24/7, I will prioritize your pets health and happiness above all else!
