About: I've cared for dogs and cats of every kind since I was 15 years old. I started working part-time at Meyer’s Tails Up Farm as a Kennel Technician. I continued to worked part-time at Meyer’s Kennel until I graduated High School and was able to join their team full time. As a Kennel Technicain, I was responsible for the daily care of animals in a kennel setting, including: Animal care: Feeding animals according to their dietary needs, providing fresh water, administering medications as directed by a veterinarian. Cleaning and sanitation: Maintaining cleanliness of kennels, cages, and common areas by cleaning, disinfecting, and replacing bedding regularly. Exercise and socialization: Walking dogs, providing playtime, and engaging animals in appropriate enrichment activities to maintain their physical and mental health. Health monitoring: Observing animals for signs of illness or distress, reporting any abnormalities to the veterinarian. Animal handling: Safely restraining animals for procedures like medication administration, grooming, or transport. Record keeping: Maintaining accurate records of animal health, behavior, feeding schedules, and any medical treatments. I worked many years as a Technician and I was later promoted to Show Assistant. As a Show Assistant, I would travel with The Meyer’s the owners to Dog Shows to take care of the animals while we were on the road. The job responsibilities are pretty much the same as being a Kennel Technician, just doing it on the road instead of at the kennel. I also as a Show Assistant was responsible for getting the show dogs prepped and assisted the Meyer’s while they groomed the Show Dogs. We got them looking their best for when they entered the show ring. I pretty much have been around animals my whole life. Not just working with them but, growing up around them. Which is where my love for animal first begun. Both my parents also worked at Meyer’s . One of my parents was the Supervisor at the kennel and worked for them for over 20 years before passing away. My mom still is grooming for them at their other location for the past 17 years. My parents had 3 Soft Coat Weaton Terriers named Squash, Lucy, Apollo and 3 cat named Fisher,Ethel and Scooter. I participated in multiple different training classes with Lucy, Squash and Apollo with including agility classes. When I moved out of my parents house in 2011, I got my very 1st dog. A puppy named Wallie, he is a Shih Tzu poodle mix. Wallie and I completed training classes together and he got a certificate “Caine Good Citizen”. Wallie is still with us today. He is 14 years old and still going strong. My husband and I couple of years ago got our 2nd dog a Husky Puppy Named Daisy Mae. “She definitely kept us on our toes when she was a puppy. “She was a big ball of energy that was all over the place”. Now being older and with training she has calmed down alot . She is the sweetest, smartest and most loving 2 year old girl. We also have our 1 tuxedo cat Sokka, he is 7 years old. 2 Maine coon cats named Sunflower, she is 5 years old and Petals , he is 3 years old. I can’t forget about our two gold fish that my son won at the Byron Carnival 3 years ago Fishy and Rocky. I’m currently working part-time and I create my own schedule. I will have plenty of time for your furry friends. I am currently available on weekends as a sitter. You can schedule your furry friends walks. I will work my schedule around your furry friends needs. I will respect the clinic instructions and follow them in detail to ensure their home and the safety of their furry pets. If their furry pet needs to be crated for their safety I will. I make sure their pet will be watched and that they

“We absolutely loved having Maggie dog sit Tilly and Hazel! She was on time and very thorough and kept us updated! We got tons of pictures and that made us so at ease being away from our dogs! She even assisted with meds and some other things! 100% would have Maggie back and would ask her again!”


13. Kimberly S.
“Kimberly is a fantastic sitter, our dog Yoda always comes back healthy and happy when he has stayed with her, and is always excited to see her again! Kimberly is very responsible & reponsive, and I can't recommend her high enough!”

About: Fur babies are my life … No literally! 🤗 I’m a Veterinarian Assistant so caring for your pet is literally what I do, what I love.🥰 I work 12hr shifts but only 3 days a a week at a Veterinarian Hospital. So that gives me tons of extra time during the week. I have a fenced in yard and a very nice fur baby to keep your fur baby company. I do also have created if needed.


15. Kaitlin P.
“She provided the BEST care to our horses and dogs! She really goes above and beyond for everyone under her care. She is the only one i trust to take care of them. Highly recommend!”


16. Estefanny O.

“Estefanny took care of our two dogs (one a senior requiring medications, the other a 10 month old puppy) and our bearded dragon this past weekend. She was able to stay at our place and be with them the for the period of time we needed. This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit nervous about it all. But Estefanny alleviated all those nerves! We are so thankful for her! Estefanny took care of our babies with thorough love and attention. She snuggled them, engaged with them, everything you’d want for your animal babies and more! We also received continuous updates via messages, pictures, and videos. This being our first time with a Rover sitter, those updates meant the world to us! We strongly recommend Estefanny as your potential pet sitter! She went above and beyond. She was a true professional and we were so lucky to have the chance to work with her. We already have her scheduled for an upcoming trip. If you need a pet sitter, Estefanny is your person!”


17. Margie F.
“Margie really loves dogs! She'll make sure that not just their basic needs (food, shelter) are met, but also their emotional and behavioral needs (exercise, attention, mental stimulation, etc). She's a great person to care for your dog or dogs!”

19. Hannah K.

“Hannah was a hit with the dogs as soon as she arrived for her get-to-know meeting! I have 3 dogs ranging from 4lbs to 70lbs and she was so calm and patient with all of them while they were greeting her!! She sent pictures, responded quickly to any texts I sent and was so flexible when our trip was shortened. I definitely will be using her again AND feel very confident in referring her to friends.”


20. Jax B.

“Jax was extremely thorough in caring for my 3 cats and 1 pitbull mix. He cleaned their ears, clipped claws, and brushed my fur babies. He sent me plenty of photos of the pets and kept me well-informed all day. I can read people well and when I met him I knew he was the one to petsit over other candidates because he communicates well and he has integrity.”
