Pet Sitting in Ingalls

About: We lost our last little guy in February 2024. It’s the first time in 35+ years without at least one dog under the same roof, and it’s felt like something essential is missing. I have such a love for dogs, and would love to pass that on to yours while you have to be away from them. That’s my main reason for being a Rover Sitter. I’m semi-retired and work from home, so your dog(s) will get my full attention. Your dog(s) will get care, love, playtime and exercise. Outside, they'll be supervised, whether they’re just roaming, playing or doing their business. I myself love to walk, and welcome having your dog as my walking buddy. Inside, they'll get a lot of attention and affection whether playing ball, or just chilling out. If you've got a senior, I am very experienced in that care, whether simple TLC, boosts when standing, meds, multiple bathroom breaks, etc. Our dogs were allowed on the furniture, and slept on the bed with us; I respect and will follow your rules for that, though. For those who like to sleep in their own "den," I have a lot of experience with crate training also. I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet before the first visit to make sure everybody's comfortable -- both canine and human. Photos and updates are happily available while you're away. I work from home, and have a very flexible schedule throughout the day. I can sit with your dog(s) any day of the week and/or weekend. Outside, they'll be supervised, whether they’re just roaming, playing or doing their business. I myself love to walk, and welcome having your dog as my walking buddy.

“Katelyn took excellent care of my two cats. She played with them and kept their areas clean. She was very responsive in our communications too. I would definitely book Katelyn again.”

“My cat was very calm and trusting with Grace from her first introduction even though Spider is now older and more cautious. She therefore allowed Grace to brush her during visits which was my key request. ++cj”

“Emma was so receptive to coming over and meeting our pups last minute for a visit the next day! Emma played with our pups and made sure they were safe and secure when she left. Hope she is willing to visit with them again!”

About: I used to have a chihuahua and a pit bull so I have experience with dogs big and small. I believe it is essential to cater to each dogs personality! I am waiting for school to start so at the moment I am very open for drop ins! I can do early morning or even late nights! I place play as a very high need for dogs and cats to increase their wellbeing. I will also ensure the food and water bowls are cleaned each day I drop in.

“Prompt, reliable, and communicative”

“Valerie went out of her way to befriend our shy dog and took extra time with him so he would feel comfortable. She sent us texts and photos to let us know how he was doing. I will definitely book with her again when we need a sitter.”

About: I’ve been a life-long animal lover and pet caretaker for my own furry family members and others as well. I’ve cared for small cats and dogs up to 100+ pound doggos. If your pet needs to be picked up or carried that’s no issue for me! I own and operate a business that allows me a lot of flexibility and free time so I can care for my pets and yours almost any time. My 3 dogs are my family. We share living spaces, eating spaces and napping spaces! I love sharing car rides with them and taking them on walks with the family.

“Maysen was a great choice! Arrived on time , takes care of the pups like her own. Did everything needed to put my mind at ease . Lots of updates throughout the day . I would highly suggest giving Maysen your business!”

“Kayla was fantastic! She made my cats feel comfortable and they are usually afraid of new people. I definitely recommend her for hanging out with your kitties!”

About: My years of pet care experience range from animal rescue to boarding facilities to volunteer work to doc training and to hospital care so I have a wide range of pet care experience. I work in the animal field, and so it is a daily job for me not to mention taking care of my own personal animals My animals are my children, and I would treat others animals the same way. I believe in being respectful of people’s opinions and the ways that they take care of their animals.

About: I've never not had pets in my life. I've had one dog - a jack russel terrier who lived to be an old man of 16. I used to volunteer at PAWS Animal Shelter as a dog walker, so I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. I love getting to know a new dog and seeing their distinct personalities shine through. I'm currently working Tues-Sat 3-10pm, so I am available for morning or late night check-ins and Sunday/Monday day long care. I can be pretty flexible, so feel free to reach out and see if we can work something out that works for you. I cannot currently take pets into my home, but I am comfortable following whatever routine your pet is used to. The more details you can leave me, the better. I want my care to be as seamless and stress-free for your pet as possible.

About: I’ve had the joy of caring for four dogs and three cats over the years, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with pets of different personalities and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or cuddles, I treat every pet like my own. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and providing a loving environment to keep pets happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m a full-time community college student and work part-time, but I always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Their well-being is my priority, and I’ll provide plenty of love, playtime, and care while you’re away! I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort by providing attentive care, following their routine, and ensuring they feel secure and loved. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a clean, stress-free environment, give them plenty of attention, and respect any special needs or preferences. Their well-being is my top priority!

“Katy was great! Easy going and very communicative. Made sure our kitties got the attention we wanted to make sure they had while we were away. Would definitely rebook!”

About: Grew up in Florida around a lot of wildlife. Owned dogs, cats, ferrets, snakes fish etc. I love and respect all animals. I can sit in your home or mine. I didn't have fenced yard but acres of private land and can take out in leash. Available 24/7 if needed. I have 4 year old Italian Greyhound retired service dog who gets along with everyone and everything... No worries there. Please make sure your pet is NOT AGGRESSIVE. I am retired therefore my schedule is very flexible. I can stay during the day, night or even overnight if I am needed at that location. I live in condo and cannot board animals. I am willing to stay in clients homes with or without my dog being with me there

“Samanatha was wonderful! She was always prompt and made us feel that our dog was in good hands while we were gone!”

About: I have been pet sitting for the last 4 years as well as being a nanny for 4 children aged newborn to 5 years old. During my time pet sitting I have worked with single dogs as well as up to 4 dogs in a single household. I love playing with and entertaining the higher-energy extroverted pets and enjoy quiet cuddle-time with the more laid-back, philosophical ones. Your pets safety and overall well-being is an utmost priority and I will care for it as carefully as I do my own pet. In addition to pet sitting, I have learned a lot about interacting with all sorts of personalities in mobile pet grooming business. I have a flexible schedule that allows week-day overnights and multiple daytime check-ins with your pet. For overnight sittings, my flexible schedule allows me to check it in on your pets throughout the day, and no pet will be left unattended for more than 3 or 4 hours. I will communicate proactively and adhere to all the house rules and keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible to reduce your pet's anxiety at your absence. In addition to maintaining their regular routines, I can also brush, bathe, and blow-dry your pet while you are away! I am a considerate house-guest and will wash any dishes or towels/washcloths that I might use as well.

About: I have taken care of several breeds of dogs and feel very comfortable around dogs 100lbs and under. I myself have a 12lb toy Aussie and a 60lb pitbull/lab so I am use to taking care of a variety of breeds, weights, and different needs. I am open to any recommendations you have concerning your pet as you are the one who knows them best! I have a flexible work schedule and love to help out other pet owners as much as I can! I am available for early mornings, mid day, and even late night walks! I am comfortable with video chats, check in phone calls, and whatever else I can do to make sure you feel safe leaving your pet in my care!

“Suzanne rescued us while on vacation in Santa Fe! She was able to stay with my dog with 10 minutes notice. He was already frightened from the lightning and thunder, so such a relief. She sent photos and a video of him running around outside after the rain stopped. Thank you!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 15, with family and friends depending on me to provide quality care to their pets. I am familiar with hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, lizards, cats and dogs. I work full time, but I am able to provide potty breaks for my lunch hour. I am fully available on weekends! I am always welcome to discussing a more detailed schedule that meets your needs, as well as your future babies. I have a fenced in yard with fresh water hook up and a large dog house, with a tree that provides shade. I have three amazing dogs that are very animal friendly, especially with our cats. Our dogs are crate trained, so if your pet needs crated for any reason, I can also provide that as well.
