Cat Sitting in Fort Ripley

“Wonderful experience! Ruby was amazing with our two shy boxers. She stopped by everyday on time and even went above and beyond when she noticed our chickens had run out of water! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Desire was such a joy to meet and instantly made our anxious dog feel calm. Greatly looking forward to our next visit.”

About: We've owned a wide variety of dogs since I was little. Taking care of them and helping care for others pets has always been a passion of mine. We recently had a litter of eleven puppies. From newborn to elderly I've helped train, care for, and love them all. I currently work full time but have evenings, Fridays, and weekends off. I enjoy taking evening walks and would love to make some new fur friends while doing so. I treat anyone's pet as if they are my own. I respect any boundaries or special training requests others might have for their fur babies.

About: I grew up on a farm, so I've worked with many different kinds of animals. I also used to help out on my great grandpa's farm before my family had our own. Animals are my life, and I can't see my life without them in it! I grew up in Minnesota, and I've never had a memory where we didn't have a dog. After moving to Ames, I've had the experience of not having my own dog and it was definitely weird to me. So, after my friend started working at Ames Pet Resort and told me how much she liked it, I decided to work there too! I've met sooo many dogs since I started, and I've been enjoying it very much. If you asked me to, I could name so many dogs that I adore. And show you pictures! I see dogs as part of the family, and many of them have touched my heart. I love them as if they were my own. I hope your family member(s) will touch my heart the same way. While I was living in Minnesota, I worked for my friend's parents. They taught me so much, and that was where my journey of working more with dogs had started. I was still working with the animals at home as well. I worked at Ames Pet Resort for little over a year, and I learned much since day one. I can give meds if need be, and I can walk various sizes of dogs. I can give the right dosages of medicine, syringes, and pills. I've also dealt with many man aggressive dogs, dog aggressive dogs, boundary aggressive tendency dogs, food aggressive, and same sex aggressive dogs, ect. For my job, I've also had training for doggy daycare so if you need any training tips, let me know! Additionally, I worked at Bark Avenue as a manager for about 7 months. In those 7 months, I was unable to do rover because my schedule didn't allow me to. Now that I work part time at an assisted living facility, it enables me to have more time to spend with your sweet companions! ❤️ Now that I no longer work for Ames Pet Resort, my schedule is pretty open. However, I may also have bookings outside of the Rover app. I will do my best to update my availability based on that. If you need your pup walked/fed in the morning, I can do that before work! 🙂 One thing I would like for people to know is that I require meet and greets before I agree to watch your pet. If you'd like to schedule one to see if it's a good fit, please let me know! My availability is Tuesday, Wednesday, and Fridays. I have every other weekend off, so if you need me during the weekend, just let me know and I can try to figure something out! If you require more than a few days for me to stay in your home, please try to let me know between 1-2 weeks in advance. I would like to try to work it out with my roommate since I have a pup of my own. While I watch your pet, I will update you multiple times a day with pictures and videos! And if you would like more updates, feel free to let me know. I understand how leaving your animals behind can be stressful, and wanting to check on them often is understandable. If I have any questions regarding your pet, I will ask right away. I do my best to keep the line of communication open with my clients for the wellbeing of their animal(s). If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

About: I've been loving and caring for animals of different kinds for over 30 years. I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I hold a very flexible part-time job that allows me to be available to care for your pets most days or the week, including weekends. Wether it's potty breaks, walks, play time or overnight care, I would be happy to love on your babies and make them feel safe and secure while you're away

“I feel like Chewy is in good hands with Liz and truly believe Liz likes Chewy. We will always use her when we need a Rover. Plus anytime you want to come over and say hi to him, you are more than welcome”

“Shaelie was amazing once again. She is so attentive and patient with my bunny, always communicating well and takes lots of photos which I love. I know my bunny enjoys her visits while I am away.”

About: I’ve been around and taken care of pets since I was a child. I have experience with animals with health issues as well, so that’s no problem! I also volunteered at the Morrison County Humane Society in high school. I’m a college student during the school year and do not have a full time job. I pick up hours as the weeks go on, so pet care is a perfect opportunity to let me be productive while also loving it. I will not care for animals in my home as I live in an apartment complex. I will gladly come to your home and travel within my area.

Alecia S.

“Alex was phenomenal! She was great with my animals and we had lots of communication while I was away. Our trip ended up being longer than anticipated and she was able to drop in for another day which was a huge relief. This was my first time using this service and I am beyond happy! I would highly recommend Alex and would love to use her again!”

About: I’ve always cared for family pets and currently own two cats, one of which is happily trained to wear the elaborate sweaters I make him and goes on daily walks on a leash. I am comfortable with any special needs that may arise such as giving meds or other basic vet care, and enjoy working with all kinds of animals. Let my flexible schedule fit into your routine! I am available days, evenings, and weekends. I know how disruptive time away cat be for your pet — I’m happy to do what I can to keep the normalcy flowing for them. I am happy to follow all guidelines you have about your pet’s care, from leashed outside visits only to regular ear scritches. I care for pets how I would want mine to be treated — safely, and with compassion.

“Zara did an exceptional job coming to our home to feed and let our 2 large dogs out. They have a lot of energy and are demand attention. Zara did a great job with each of them and their individual needs. Highly recommend Zara as a pet sitter!”

“We returned home to two happy pups after a weekend vacation. The visits were perfectly on time and the updates were great piece of mind. Great job we will be happy to hire again”

About: "I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm also well know for rehabilitating strays to new homes I have a job from 2-10pm please keep this in mind when hiring me I will not be requesting time off under any circumstances. But I stay happy by taking care of animals I used to take in strays and rehabilitate them in my spare time but I now have a roommate and she won't let me do that. Anymore so I figured I could get another job involving animal care and my friend referred me to rover an so far I'm really excited for my first client. I am in doors only I have a dog yard at my apartment and a patio I take walks but mainly qe play inside but I have tons of time to play I have an open schedule! So I have tons of time to play and watch how the fur babies. I take them for walks we have a dog park at my apartment there's a dog park down the road I play wit them with toys I love going then treats and cuddling with them I have a patio. And a dog park available and I walk them and play with then they have full access to my home an di love to spoil my visitors I love taking care of your pets weekly routines are important which is why I try to ask questions before hand so I follow everything to a T. I have cats myself I know how routines are necessary to keep both you and your pet happy as I do it myself at home with my own fur babies. I follow the instructions left by the owner I'm well adverse in pet care whatever your schedule and routine with ur pet is I will follow I know just how important that is I do require an imperson tour before hand to discuss instructions and meet ur pet etc.

“Eric did a great job with our two labs. They are high energy dogs, but were properly worn out when I got home. Great communication, regular updates throughout the visit.”
