About: I enjoy taking care of dogs and cats of all sizes. I also am attentive to watering plants, watching out for deliveries, and checking mail. I keep the house neat and orderly just as I would have found it. I also am quiet and would be respectful if there are neighbors. I work remotely full-time, Monday through Friday, which fits well with pet sitting as I would be readily available while I work, and my current hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. I can take breaks frequently to walk pets and do all that is needed. I read instructions carefully left and adhere to all that is needed for each pet. I am glad to ask questions when those arise, and I also at times may take a picture of the pet to send to show how content each pet is and that they are doing well.

Nancy always does a fantastic job, and we trust her completely with our animals. You can tell she truly enjoys spending time with our pets, and even our shyest cat comes out to greet her when she visits! She takes great care of our home and leaves it spotless during her stay. We would absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy, quality housesitter!

I was kind of in between a rock and a hard place.. I had to go out of town in a week, and didn’t want to leave my dog in a kennel again.. he has special needs and kennels have too many dogs to pay special attention to him so I tried Rover... My request for assistance was accepted right away. I was always able to reach the sitters and they sent me updates and statuses ... definitely recommend Cheyannes assistance if you need a sitter

Gracie is an absolute gem! Her love for animals is evident, and the bond she forms with them is truly special and hard to come by. It instantly puts you at ease knowing she understands their unique personalities and quirks. Gracie is not only professional and trustworthy but also incredibly responsible. She treated our furry friends with the same love and care as if they were her own. Her knowledge about their care was impressive, and she offered some great tips. We appreciated her excellent communication and the updates she provided, which we looked forward to. When we returned home, everything was immaculate, as if no one had been there, and she went the extra mile with a thoughtful surprise for us. Our pups were overjoyed when we got back and couldn’t stop telling us how much fun they had. We feel so fortunate to have found Gracie and will definitely book her services again!

About: I grew up taking care of all different breeds of dogs, and there’s nothing else I’d rather do! I started out caring for my own, then I started caring for my family’s and friend’s pets too. My experience ranges from caring for puppies and senior dogs. I had a 14 year old lab that I had to provide senior care on, from feeding by hand, cleaning her up, and administering medicine. I am working full time at the moment but am more than excited to spend my days off with your fur babies! As of right now I am available most weekends, and nights. I care for my dogs by letting them run around during the day, I have a huge yard with plenty of space. At night my dogs like to sleep in their crate.

About: Experience with my own pets growing up and through my adulthood. Started walking a neighborhood dog in the 3rd grade! I can't wait to meet your babies. I create my own animal-friendly schedule). I love the flexibility I have and think it will also be helpful for other pet parents. I am an active person and love to go on walks and explore. I have a large and small fenced area /yard at my house. I have a nice neighborhood for great walks. I have a sweet small-sized pup, a large pup, and two kitties; all are familiar with kids, cats, and even large dogs. I am very cognizant of what each animal may need and their cues.
