About: I have always had a love for animals, I have had dogs and cats of my own since I can remember. I make sure to always give them the attention they deserve, And treat all animals as if they were my own. My name is Geselle, I work at wave at both the Fruita and Grand Junction locations. I typically work 4 hour shifts 2-3 times a week. Any other time around that schedule I can be there to take care of any animals you need. I grew up with a diabetic dog who needed lots of attention, And I made it my priority to make sure he was the happiest he can be. I can take your animals on walks play with them, And even give medication when needed.
“Lacie did an excellent job taking care of our 2 dogs and giving much needed attention to our cat while we were out of town. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be making more requests in the future!”

About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a deep love for animals. Growing up with them, I have experience with everything from puppies to senior dogs, kittens and senior cats. I currently care for two large, dogs and two cats. I have plenty of hands on experience with daily walks, grooming, feeding, and playtime. I love having an active companion, like a dog, but I have a special soft spot for cats. Their unique reserved and affectionate personalities make them especially close to my heart. I often help care for neighbors' animals while they’re away, making sure their pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved in their absence. My experience with pet care has taught me the importance of attentive care and excites me to continue working with animals. As I am graduating high school, I’ve had the flexibility to care for my pets, which is something I truly enjoy. I can be attentive to feeding my dogs and cats, refreshing their water. I make time throughout the day for grooming, playtime, and keeping their spaces clean. My favorite activities involve the outdoors, including hiking and I love to bring a four legged buddy along. Even with social plans or family commitments, I always prioritize making sure my pets feel cared for, loved and part of my daily life. As a pet owner, I’m well equipped with plenty of treats, toys, brushes, and food and water dishes. My dogs enjoy a fenced backyard at home, and I often take them to a nearby park for more space to run. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I make sure to spend quality time with them so they don’t feel lonely. I’m also available to stay overnight if needed and can help with light household tasks like watering plants or vacuuming. My goal is always to keep pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their families are away.
“Dawna's care of Mac was excellent. She is very friendly and talented when it comes to taking care of Mac. I felt comfortable with her from the start and so did Mac. He doesn't often greet unfamiliar people, but he was friendly from the start with Dawna. I will be recommending her, Rover to others as well as continuing to book Dawna in the future.”

Dani and Kenneth were great! They cleaned up an unfortunate mess and took care of our two beagles just as good as your favorite family member would. They provided us with plenty of pictures and updates and were overall just about the best pet sitters we’ve had to date. We would absolutely use them again in the future!
