About: When I was younger I used to take care of my neighbors dogs, house sit for them and walk their dogs. I've also raised other animals, like ducks, rabbits, reptiles, and fish. People have always called me the animal whisperer, i've rescued animals and returned them back to wildlife lots of times in my life, and i just think animals (ALL PETS) bring me so much joy and peace , I would do anything for just about any animal that lives, to make their life as fulfilled and loved as i can. My duties for caring for any animal would be properly maintaining their feeding and walking schedules. Bathe and brush(if necessary), playtimes as well as training procedures (if applicable) Pet sitting/House sitting. Your pets will be in great hands!

About: Hi My name is Meghan, and I have been caring for dogs since I was little. I have 3 bigger dogs of my own, English Mastiff Pitbull Mix (9), Smooth Fox Terrier Lab Mix (5), and a French Mastiff (2). I have been volunteering for a dog rescue and helping to foster dogs in home for over 10 years. Due to my French Mastiff having diabetes, I am trained on how to give a dog an insulin shot, and am able to medicate your pet as well! I also have 1 cat and just love being around animals! I’m currently a college student and I have 1-2 classes every day from 8am-12pm and I only go to classes so I would not have any outside conflicts or commitments to have to go to. I have experience in giving shots, pills, and light grooming if necessary. I would take your dogs for a walk, give them food/water depending on the time, and just spend time with them to make them feel less alone.

Gilbertsville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Doris was took excellent care of our Labrador Retriever in our home! She set up a meet and greet meeting with us and asked about our dog’s likes and dislikes. She shared some stories about her own dogs so we knew she was experienced with all kinds of dogs and we were comforted that Sable (our dog) would be in good hands since this was the first time Sable had ever had a dog sitter. During her visits, Doris played with Sable, sent us pictures & updates, took her for walks and fed & watered her at the scheduled times. I highly recommend Doris as a pet sitter!!
Audrey is fantastic! She’s super friendly, and great with my dogs. My Anna can be a little shy and she warmed up to Audrey right away. Earl is a little hyper and demands love and she handled that well too! Audrey is timely, and sends great photos every time she stops in. If you are in search of a dependable person to care for your pets, I highly recommend her.

Olivier did a wonderful job with our two Cairn Terriers. He spent extra time with them walking through the gardens, collected eggs from the chickens, and made sure everyone was happy. We got lots of doggie pictures while on vacation of them roaming around the gardens and bonus pictures of the chickens, too. We'd recommend Olivier to anyone!
