House Sitting in Grotons

About: We have abundant experience in caring for animals whether they be ours or loved one's who we've cared for while they were away from their animals/house. This includes but is not limited to the following; large and small dogs (Greyhounds, Boxers, Husky, Pit bulls, mixed breeds, Maltese poodle, etc.), cats, large and small snakes (2ft - 9ft), small mammals (mice and rats, deques, rabbits, etc.), reptiles to (include scorpions, bearded dragons) .. just to name a few! Hello! I'm Victoria and I often travel with the best travel partner I've found yet, Rae. I travel frequently and am available for extended sits as needed. We often miss the love of animals while on the road. So, house and pet sitting is perfect for us! I take work with me and also additionally do gig work (i.e. grocery deliveries) if time permits while traveling. In time off from work, if not spending time with family or animals, we love to cook, find hidden gem restaurants/food trucks, explore in nature, long camping trips (we just took a 9000 mile, 2 month camping trip this year in April), projects on various older vehicles, attend concerts/festivals, or many other different events that a town/city may have to offer! We love to meet new people and pets and explore new areas... or frequent favorited locations! We often miss the love of animals while on the road. So, house and pet sitting is perfect! We still get to give our love to your animals while on the road! We come to you and follow your instructions and routines as to not disrupt your pets natural environment and daily schedule! Simply put, your preferences will be our preferences depending on your pets needs whatever it is that will make your pet most comfortable! Please note we do not smoke or vape and prefer to stay at a non smoking house. Please let us know if you smoke in your house!

About: I have had pets my whole life. I have experience with senior pets as well. I work during the week in the local school system so I can do evening or weekends! I work 8 to 3 Monday through Friday. I can help on weeknights or weekends. I can do dogs, cats and horses if need be. I can come right to your residence so no need for boarding! I can stay over on weekends or some school holidays. I can walk dogs as needed too.

About: i’ve had animals from dogs to cats and so many other animals since i was a little girl. i love watching animals for other people. i currently don’t work due to medical issues so caring for others animals when they’re away would get me out of the house. i’m always available unless i am watching someone’s animal(s) i will take on many walks and feed when they need to be fed, make them feel like they’re my own, give so much love and also give space if need be. i treat it like i’m at a sleepover with friends but my friends are the pets

About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 12 years old and grew up around cats and other animals. I genuinely love cats and enjoy providing them with attentive, compassionate care. I work full-time but I get off at 3:45 PM on the week day, which makes me very flexible for evening care, drop-ins, and overnight pet sitting. When pet sitting, I usually care for pets in the client’s home. Clients provide detailed instructions for their pets’ routines, and I carefully follow their directions to ensure consistency, comfort, and proper care.

“Alexis was professional and responsive from the moment I reached out, even though it was months before I needed her services. We chatted by text several times, asking and answering questions, which I appreciated. I was staying out of town at a local hotel and was thankful that Alexis was willing to stay in my suite to watch my pup. She arrived on time, was friendly, and took good care of my girl. She sent photos and replied promptly to texts while I was away. Her rates are beyond reasonable and I would definitely recommend her and seek her out if I return to the area. Thanks so much, Alexis!”

“Heather C. Was great with our rescue pit bull, our old man beagle, and our ornery cat. The dogs were happy and comfortable the whole time. We will continue to use Heather for our dog sitting needs.”

“I couldn’t have asked for more. Hanna stayed with our two girls - Darla and Hazel - one senior dog and one space cadet young English Setter. We got photos everyday that showed us in an instant that our girls were well taken care of. We like them to be more comfortable at home and having Hanna here with them was wonderful - she brought in the mail and took great care of our home. What a blessing and a treasure. In a heartbeat I’d ask Hanna again. Too bad she’s not available for our cruise this spring! I tried!”

About: I’ve have taken care of pets since I was a child. I have been with Rover since February 2023.I have a large yard and a little boy who loves animals. We spend a lot of time outdoors. If your pet likes that, they will be able to join us. I have a chain link kennel out in the yard and a lead where they have room to walk around and hang out outside of the kennel too. I work full time. I am available after 5:30 pm Mon-Fri. Weekends I’m free all day! We love animals and can’t wait to care of yours! :) I have a large open yard with an enclosed porch for your pet to lounge and take in the sunshine! I provide morning, evening and bedtime walks and outdoor time.

About: I am an all natural animal lover! I love animals of all types. I find dogs especially to be therapeutic for me. I can promise if i dog sit for you, you won't regret it. They will be in great hands. I’m a SAHM who is looking to make extra income and I would love nothing more than to do that through my love of pets. Let me take care of your furbabies while on vacation with no worries! You won't regret it! I’m a SAHM who’s very flexible! I have a very long history of veterinary experience and pet sitting. Taking care of animals and loved ones holds a special place in my heart. I treat every pet like my own ❤️ each pet is different and some have special needs so I always try to accommodate and make sure each furbaby has what they need whether they are staying with me or in the comfort of their own home.

About: I’ve grown up with pets at home for the last 17 years. My extended family all have had dogs my entire life varying from Rottweilers, dachshunds, German shepherds and yorkies. I’ve walked, dog sat, bathed, taken care of for both short and extended periods of time for family and friends for about 10 years. I’ve recently moved to Virginia with some family and although not “technically” mine, currently with an extra 4 Maltese and 1 mastiff I set my own hours with my day job. Because of that, I set the same hours on a weekly basis to minimize any confusion. My parents currently have a dog who is very anxious and easily scared so from my personal experience, I’m great with making sure a dog feels more than comfortable with me. I allow them to sniff my hand and/or anything else including shoes, pants, shirt, whatever they need to feel comfortable. Trust with a dog is built over time and I will never force you for baby to go with me if they don’t feel safe.

About: My name is Carla, I have over four years of pet care experience (working in pet stores, vet clinic's, and volunteering for local shelters. I also am mom to 3 fur babies of my own: My senior dog Dino, my rescue Darla, and my youngest daughter Appa. I have a genuine love for animals and will ensure that your pet receives the love and care they deserve. I will walk, feed, and play with your pet to help you give them the extra care they need while you work or take that vacation. I enjoy being active especially with animals so long walks are a favorite past time of mine even during the cold weather months. I look forward to working with you and loving your pets! Thank you for your time! Carla C. I work from home during the week and have the weekends free! I have plenty of time to drop-in and walk your pets if needed. My dogs are crated during the day while I work. Darla gets 3-4 bathroom breaks, while Appa is still being house broken. As far as my client’s home, all I need to know is what their routine is and I go from there.

About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds for my whole life living on our 50 acre family farm. We have horses, pigs, cows, dogs, cats, reptiles and fish! I take care of all of them and provide them with a loving and enriched environment. I can’t wait to meet your best friends, or have them for a visit! Pet care is my greatest passion and second job at home. I spend my mornings out in the fields with my horses and cows pitching hay, mucking stalls, and cuddling in the grass. I spend my evenings snuggled up with my 3 hound dogs on couch or landscaping my reptile and fish tanks for fun. I am open to the needs of all pets as I know people do things in their own way. I will carefully follow the instructions left by the client.

About: Im familiar with giving medication, and providing exceptional care for all animals. I've cared for pets most of my life, and I have 5 years of experience in an animal shelter caring for cats and dogs. It's very rewarding, and it's the best part of my day when I see the happy tails, hear the purring and receiving those kisses. I dont live in Denton, I live in Salisbury. I do travel for my clients,[up to 50 miles] only if youre in need of a sitter for more than 3 days. We can discuss even further during a meet n greet. My full time work is as a gig worker. I make my own schedule, so I am able to care for your pets at any time. I love animals! I provide a safe, and caring environment when I care your pets. I love them like they're my own. Care would be in your home, and I usually stay overnight, unless you would like daily care, then I would come a couple times per day to provide meals, scoop litter boxes, take daily walks, etc.

About: I have volunteered in the past with a rescue shelter and I loved walking and playing with the dogs. Since we are a virtual school family, my schedule is pretty open and flexible so your pet will get lots of attention and cuddles. I have cared for cats and fish most of my life. I am comfortable with grooming, providing special diets, giving oral medication and inhalers. If boarding, your dog must be gentle and friendly with kids and cats. I have a 4th grader and we recently adopted a kitten. They must be comfortable in an apartment setting with a busy hallway where barking is frowned upon. Cuties who like to be guard dogs might not enjoy staying here if frequent noise is activating. We are usually home most days due to virtual schooling, but occasionally have short outings and field trips. We continue to use pretty strict Covid precautions, like always wearing high-quality masks and running hepa air purifiers. I ask that my clients are respectful of this. I am very flexible and encourage last minute cancellations if any symptoms of illness pop up. Likewise, if we have symptoms or test positive for Covid/flu I will cancel the booking. Luckily, I have only had to do this two times in so many years and will always issue a full refund. We live in a very pet friendly area and are close to great dog parks. Our neighborhood is full of green spaces and sidewalks and the Rock Creek Park trail is directly behind our apartment. We will care for your dog like it is our own. I love taking photos and will send as many as you’d like and will provide updates and check-ins as often as preferred.
