Cat Sitting in Gem Lake

“This was our first time using Hanna and we are so very happy to have found her to care for our fur babies when we can’t. She showed up when promised, gave our one dog her meds at the specified time, put the girls potty, and played with them for a little bit. They were both so relaxed and happy when I got home I could tell they had been very well cared for!! She said she would treat our fur babies like her own and we could tell she did! We have already booked Hanna for an all day visit next week and will continue to use her!! Highly recommended Hanna!!”

“Emily was fantastic! She was very communicative during the whole process. She was able to get my shy kitty out and about like it was just another day home with me! She read over what I had to say about how to care for hawk and executed it perfectly! Highly recommend her for any pet sitting or drop in needs!!”

Nick K.

“Great communication and took pictures of the cats letting me know they were doing good. I would recommend Tara and hopefully book her again when we need a drop in visit for our cats.”

Brandon S.

“Abigail was a good communicator and our timid cat even warmed up to Abigail which was great to hear. The daily pictures/updates were also appreciated.”

Carlee K.

“Over the years, Julie has watched our cats on multiple occasions. As with the prior instances, everything went flawlessly this time. Knowing that someone like Julie, who is trustworthy, professional, and thoughtful, is looking after our pets is very reassuring.”

“Super responsible and knowledgeable sitter. Shes uses fear free approach which I greatly appreciate since one of my dog’s is uncomfortable around strangers. She followed all my instructions and sent me lots of pictures of my happy puppies. I feel extra comfortable with Valeska since she is a veterinary technician, so I know she will promptly bring my pets to get care in the event of an emergency.”

“They were wonderful with our 3 cats. They sent pictures and updates frequently and kept our minds at ease! We had them pick up and drop off our cats, as well, and they were on time and took a lot of care to make sure transit was as smooth as possible.”

William S.

“Thanks so much to Jeff for checking in on our cats! Everything went smoothly, communication was great, cats were taken care of and happy. We appreciated the daily update notes and pictures. I’d definitely recommend Jeff for animal check in visits.”

“We booked Evelyn rather last minute to check on our cat while we were out of town. She was able to stop by for a meet & greet promptly and so glad we ended up booking her. She went above and beyond checking on our fluffy friend & really felt he was in great hands. She gave him his medicine which isn’t always the easiest task & made sure food / water was full & litter box was clean. Evelyn provided us daily updates & pictures so we knew Kitty was in good hands. Our cat isn’t always easy to win over but from the pictures - look liked Evelyn got our cat to warm up. She even emptied our garbages & left us the most adorable bouquet with flowers from our garden. Will absolutely book again & highly recommend her services. Thank you Evelyn!”

About: I have lived with cats since I was 14 years old and have looked after cats and dogs independently since I was 16. I am comfortable with administering medications from my time working at Grand Avenue Veterinary Clinic. I work about 12 hours a week spread over two days at a museum and attend graduate school online. This makes me very flexible to meet your pets needs! As I will be in your and your pets home, making sure everyone is comfortable with me in the space! My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you are away! If you have any specific concerns about going on walks or interacting with other humans and pets please let me know so I can abide by what works best for your family. I have been trained on how to pill animals who are nervous about medication to ensure that your pet recieves their medication and remains safe and supported in the process. If you should ask me to take care of your home I make sure to grab the mail daily and follow the motto of leave it better than you found it! I want to have you to come home to a clean house.

“Sierra was a great cat sitter for us over a long weekend. She dropped in when requested, fed and checked in on our cats, and maintained great communication during our vacation. She was quick to respond and gave a bit of extra attention to our senior cat. We would highly recommend her and book with her again!”

About: I used to work at a dog boarding place. That provided me with the skills to be able to handle all different types of dogs and their challenges. I also have been pet sitting for that past few years for my family friends. I worked on a goat farm as well so I can deal with the mess when it comes to pet care. I am currently working full time on the weekdays. I could check in on your pet during my lunch break. On the weekend I am fully open to spend as much time with your pet as needed. Pet safety is very important to me. I will also have your pet on a leash on walks. If you have a fenced in yard I will still go out and stay with your pet. I am very capable of crating your dog if he/she needs to while no one is home.

“Meredith did a great job with our senior dogs. One of our dogs requires twice daily injections. She was very thorough and took the time to understand the best method for delivering the medication.”

About: I absolutely love working with animals! I started out volunteering at the SPCA where I got to cuddle and play with adorable cats and dogs. Since then, I've been lucky enough to care for all sorts of animals, including some sweet pups, cuddly kitties, and even some friendly pigs! Whether it's just stopping by for a quick visit, giving them medicine, or taking them for a walk, you can trust that I'll treat your furry (or not so furry!) friend with nothing but love and care. I have an extremely flexible schedule right now so I have time for any of your pets and their needs. I always try my best to be on time & as thorough as possible even if that means I have to spend more time to get everything done. In my clients home I am always respectful of house rules & what is going on with their pets. Always being attentive and observant of what is going on. While outside on walks it is exactly the same of where we are walking and who is around.

“This was our first Rover experience and they did an amazing job! They sent photos of playing with Zeke and he looked so happy! Thank you so much for making Zeke feel so comfortable.”

About: I’m an avid dog lover and have grown up alongside them for as long as I can remember. I have extensive experience taking care of a multitude breed of dogs and puppies. I have been pet sitting since I was 14. I also have experience taking care of blind, elderly, and deaf dogs. I have no problems handling medications and giving shots. My beloved dog Mugsy is blind and hard of hearing :). I have experience with severe dog allergies as well. I am currently working as a regulatory affairs specialist but I work from home on my own schedule so my schedule is very flexible. I have my own car and can drop by whenever. I have to be in person’s Tuesdays, but I typically get off around 3pm and do can run to your house early in the morning and after 3pm. I can also stay overnight to take care of your furry companion! My apartment doesn’t allow dogs so I cannot board them here. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for your pet in your home, I make sure they stay in a familiar environment where they feel secure, relaxed, and stress-free. I follow your care instructions closely—from feeding routines and medication to playtime and cuddle time— to ensure all their needs are met exactly as you would. I love walking dogs, and will make sure your furry friend(s) stay engage and happy!

About: Five years of my experience are from raising and training two 100+ pound working dogs. And two years expirence pet sitting and volunteering at shelters. I love working with large dogs and have expirence with ill, abused and nervous dogs. I have a very regular schedule and am available for weekend check ins and weekday evenings and mornings. I can work in midday walks during the week on a reliable schedule. I make enrichment a top priority. By observing when and where an animal acts out, I can find out when they're getting bored and figure out the best way to encourage their mental growth. Physical health in pets is extremely important. I love to encourage and incentivize an active life style in pets by learning how they best love to move and making it my priority.

“Aaron did such a fantastic job with Reggie during a drop-in visit! My dog is usually quite shy and sensitive, but during our meet and greet, Reggie warmed up to Aaron so quickly—it was clear he felt safe and comfortable right away. Aaron was great with communication and made scheduling super easy. When I came to pick up my keys, Reggie was with me and absolutely lit up when he saw Aaron again—tail wags, full-body wiggles, the whole thing. It was instant best-friend status! Reggie is pretty selective about who he gets that excited for, so it really means a lot knowing he's in such good hands. Huge thanks, Aaron, for being such a kind new friend for Mr. Reggieman!”

About: Ive helped friends and family take care of pets for years, big and small dogs included. When I first moved up to Alaska I helped on a sled dog yard that my grandpa and his friends owned, helping young nervous puppies find their voices and confidence. To this day they are all hard working and well behaved dogs. Ive had my own animals from dogs and cats to rodents and lizards since I was young that I've been in charge of feeding, bathing and cleaning up after. I have experience with senior dogs and giving medications, like insulin as I house and dog sat for my grandparents for long periods of times including when one of their senior dogs became sick and had to be given insulin twice a day every day for the month I was there. I've been helping pet parents on rover for almost 2 years now and have enjoyed every moment of it. The people and the animals have been so great, I can't wait to continue working with pet parents to keep their babies safe and healthy! This would be my full time job as of right now so I would have plenty of time for you and your fur babies needs. My schedule is pretty open at the moment with no big plans that would prevent me from caring for your animal! As of right now I own a sweet dog, he's kennel trained and is kenneled bedtime for his safety and comfort. Furthermore I'd follow whatever rules for your pets that you have in your home to keep your animals on a good schedule.
