House Sitting in Fontana Dam

About: Growing up I’ve always owned dogs and I love taking care of my own dog who has high needs. I love walking dogs and always enjoy seeing new dogs roaming about. I have a very open schedule, and that is why I was ready to start with Rover to kind of control my own scheduling. My week is open for plenty of dog walks or dropping visits for pets. I am excited to start working with you. I have one dog and two cats. I walk my dog at least five times a day. She is a terrier and needs extra exercise. I have two cats who are indoor. I change their litter box weekly and scoop it daily. Keeping a good hygiene for cats is extremely important for your home so I value that very much. My pets names are Oreo for my dog Millie and pumpkin on my cats.

About: Hi! I grew up dog sitting for my neighbors, and became the local neighborhood pet sitter within my family’s neighborhood and surrounding areas in my early years. Our family had an amazing Golden Retriever named Gracie. I also had Riley, another Golden in my adult life, as well as been a caretaker for an awesome Pit named Buddy. I’d love to help be a care taker for your animals as it would not only help you to have someone there for them but quite honestly it’d be two fold in terms of a beautiful experience for me to be able to relive some memories of taking care of my own animals. I apologize for the lack of additional photos but feel free to contact me as I’m very punctual, open and honest, and understanding of the responsibility that comes with caring for beloved animals as well as ensuring your residence is safe in your absence. Thank you! I am available for day sitting as well as overnight stays. Right now based on my description I am fully available to be there when needed. I am unable to have any pets at my home, but am well prepared and versed in caring for animals and following any given instructions.

“Kim did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. She took the time to come out and meet them beforehand and get the dogs at ease with her. She stayed in our house with the dogs as they are very spoiled and love to have a sleeping buddy. She is very accommodating to individual schedules and will work with the client to give them what they need for their animals. All of the special requests we needed for our dogs she fulfilled with a cheerful disposable. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again..”

“Jonathan did an excellent job with our dogs. Duke can be a little standoff-ish with new people and Jonathan handled it perfectly. We will definitely use him again.”

About: I have always had a dog that I could share adventures with. I know the feeling when you are busy with work and need a reliable dog walker or house sitter that will care for your dog just as you would. Now that I have time, I would like to help others with that. I am available to housesit your dog most any weekend and beginning June 1 through August 15th, I am available to house sit most anytime. I have been a teacher for 20 years, so safety is always at the center of each decision. If I were caring for a dog in another family's home, I would be mindful of security, house alarms, locks, and also what the pet could possibly get into inside the home that could be dangerous. I would follow all requests and procedures in the home indicated by the family.
