Pet Sitting in Independence

“Emily checked in on our kitties for a few days while we were away. She was awesome and sent pictures every day and kept them well fed and loved. We will for sure be having her check in our cats again the next time we are away”

“We almost had to cancel a day trip, but fortunately, Stephanie and Spencer came to the rescue! We truly had a last minute (day before) booking request and they were able to accommodate us. This was our first time having “drop in” visits for our dog, as he is rarely left home alone for more than a few hours at a time. We are happy to say, it worked out well! Our dog loves people, but not other dogs, so we can’t send him to doggy day care when we want to get out and about for a whole day. Thank you, Spencer for checking on Oliver and hope you and Stephanie will consider “baby sitting” for us again.”

“David saved us!!! We had a planned family vacation and everyone kept canceling on us, David accepted the job and made sure my cats were happy and safe definitely recommend David and will be using him again in the future.”

About: I have cared for a wide array of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, insects and amphibians! I have owned many pets over my lifetime, and feel confident in caring for elderly animals and administering medication. I have volunteered at my local vet clinic on multiple occasions, so handling animals prone to stress is also something that I am familiar with Currently I attend community college part time on Mondays, Wednesdays and the weekend. Every other day I will be completely free, and will make it my priority to give your pets all of the time and attention that they deserve! One of my greatest goals, second only to the welfare of your animals, is to ensure that client privacy and boundaries are respected at all times. I will ensure to follow instructions given about the home to the letter.

“I was gone for a couple weeks and Leanna took great care of my cat Feeny. She was responsive and kind via chat. I would hire Leanna in a heartbeat.”

“Stephanie was very communicative with me while we were away and went above and beyond! The comfort of knowing our babies are being well taken care of while we’re gone means so much to us!”

“We appreciated that Molly went above and beyond to adjust timing of one of the visits based on our needs, and that she also came by for an extra unscheduled visit to make sure our kitty was eating. Very sweet.”

About: From growing up with an energetic, fun-loving yellow lab named Wally, to working at a veterinary clinic, and now caring for my own 7-year old Wheaten Terrier named Beans, I've spent most of my life around pets! My time at the vet allowed me to learn how to take care of so many different types of pets, big or small, playful or calm. It also taught me how to approach all types of pets, and how to make them feel comfortable with me. I'm a natural born animal lover, no matter the size or breed. I'm really looking forward to getting to know your pet! I’m currently free pretty much anytime, any day to care for your pet! I’m more than happy to come early mornings, late evenings, and weekends! I have always been a big rule-follower, and this really comes in handy when caring for other peoples animals. As someone who has used Rover for my own pup, I know letting someone into your home can be daunting, but I do everything I can to make you and your pet feel comfortable!

“Chawnie was great! My cats were happy when we returned home so I know they were played with and given attention. I’ll definitely be rebooking with Chawnie for my next trip.”

About: I own a husky mix and have for three years. I regularly bath, brush and walk him. I’m very patient with animals. I enjoy being around dogs because they’re super smart and definitely steal your heart. Dogs are more than a mans best friend, they’re family. As I begin in the dog care world I would like to be full time and help families by providing care for their furry babies. It’s nice to be able to take a vacation or a trip and know that your dog is being well taken care of, allowing you to enjoy time with friends and family. I will frequently send pictures and updates so you can see how everything is going and and feel included. I have self-taught myself how to trim and file dogs nails and how to brush excess fur, to prevent matted and tangled coats. I also enjoy bathing them. I know pet care can add up and be expensive so I’m willing to negotiate rates depending on the distance I have to drive and the number of services your needing. Feel free to ask any questions because I’m here to help you!

“mckenzy was great! went above to make sure my pup felt the love and was well cared for. communicated any problems so i felt at ease.”

“Shawnee did an amazing job taking care of my cats , they both were comfortable with her right away. She went out of her way to check on a problem we had with our automatic feeder, thankful for that. We received photos daily and updates on our cats. I’ll definitely book her again when we need someone to watch over our cats.”

About: I started taking care of animals when I was really young I think around 6 years old I would take care of my neighbor's dog was a little Pomeranian when they would go places. Also my neighbor had a Irish setter that I would go visit all the time and she would give me a dollar to walk her around the block or talking at least 48 years ago and I still remember it to this day it was one of the best times in my life when I was young. I think I've decided that I want to dedicate my life to this I mean what's left of it anyway lol I've been working with people most of my life and I thought I'd give this a try so daily routine and weekly routine would be up to the customer and it would be your preference after all you're the boss right? I've been a caregiver since 1998 of people I had five background checks last year for the state of Oregon I work for Oregon health Care commission and I'm a caregiver I passed five of them so you would not have to worry about me being in your home I would offer the services that you were requesting and you would also go beyond even more than what you would expect I think I would be a good fit with for anybody I'm an older lady and I've got a lot of grandchildren so I figured taking care of your for a babies and I would treat them like my grandbabies or you would say fur babies. Customer would be my boss so therefore I would do what they would ask.

“Kerri was new to us. Over the week we were gone it was clear she took time to get to know our three Kitty 'kids' and worked to make them comfortable. We liked the pictures every day and could see that the kids warmed up to her over the week and were definitely content and well taken care of. Her service was great. Thanks Kerri!”

“Sarah was amazing. My kitties are kind of shy and she was able to get them to come out and let her pet them and play. My daughter wants her contact information because she would like to book her to take care of her pets in the future too. We will definitely rebook. My husband says she was fantastic. Thank you so much, Sarah.”

Diane K.

“Kamryn was fantastic!! We were finally able to get away and relax because we had full confidence in her. She was timely, professional and so easy to communicate with. We will absolutely be booking her for future dates!!”
