Pet Sitting Irving

“I am very thankful we found Bev to care for our cat Cote. Cote is a tamed feral cat and a long haired domestic. She is timid and slow to warm up to newcomers and adding to the quandary Cote is a perfect Primadonna. About 2 hours after we left Bev went over to check on Cote and sent a picture of Cote's surprised expression!! We requested three 1/2-hour check-ins a day. Within a couple of feedings, Bev sent an image showing Cote eating treats out of her hand!! Cote will only eat her wet food warmed and with a bit of water added and stirred into it, and Bev had no trouble doing that. Bev also realized that Cote required her food to be located wherever she was sitting in order for her to eat. In one picture Cote was eating her warmed food in the lawn!! Bev also earned the ability to pet Cote. The pictures and comments Bev sent were fun and comical and she stayed in contact with us the whole time we were gone. Bev has an innate sense about animals and their needs, and I feel very comfortable taking vacations now that we have found Bev to look after our furry Primadonna.”

“Whitney was awesome and followed directions perfectly, even after I had to change it up because the cats were fighting the night before I left. Her communication was great and she asked thoughtful questions. The cats were happy and healthy when I returned.”

About: All types of animals (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, horses, llamas, goats, sheep) have been part of my life forever. I love all animals, most of them more than humans! Currently 2 large dogs, 3 cats, 4 chickens and 1 human are my "family". Previously I lived on 36 acres and took care of my horse, 2 donkeys, a herd of goats and chickens. I recently retired and am looking to fill some of my time taking care of your animals and home. I am happy to take care of any types of animal and will provide love and care for your pets while your away. I recently retired from being an insurance agent for 20 years and am very flexible with my time and can be available for short or longer stays. I will take great care of your pets, will administer medications, walk them or play ball, keep them company while your gone. And I will treat your home and belongings with respect and keep it clean and safe.

About: I’m a mom to a toddler, preteen and two of my own pets. I’ve had big dogs my whole life, & various other types of pets. I’d love to help take some stress off your plate by taking care of your pet just like you would! I’ve taken care of many pets throughout the years, but decided to finally join Rover recently. If you have a last minute request, I can usually accommodate. Though one day notice is preferred so I can adjust my schedule accordingly. I strive to be as flexible as possible. So please don’t hesitate to chat with me if you need adjustment on pricing or availability. Feel free to ask me any questions and reach out if you need anything! My first name is Janet, but I do prefer to be called by my middle name, Ruby. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I’m happy to adhere to your requested times, whether that’s early morning, mid-day, or late evening. Weekends are perfectly fine too. I strive to be open, honest, trustworthy, and respectful. I believe leaving your home just as you left it and taking care of your pet just as you would is vital to my beliefs and services.

“Amy did a fantastic job with our cat Pepper. She was able to gain his trust and administer his insulin injections while we were away. She is dependable, flexible and a great communicator. Would highly recommend her for all types of pet care.”

“This is the second time we’ve hired Amelia and my wife and I couldn’t be happier! Amelia provided plenty of really good pictures of our dog Athena and communicated throughout the entire booking!”

“Teresa did an excellent job taking care of our cats. She is great with communication and sent us plenty of great (and artistic!) photos! She followed all our instructions and is very kind and caring. She even made our cat's birthday extra special. We returned home to very happy cats. We highly recommend! Thanks again, Teresa!”

About: Having a lifetime's worth of caring for my own pets gives me a wealth of experience and knowledge with critters of all shapes and sizes. Family, friends, and neighbors have entrusted me to feed, play with, and even just check in on their pets and homes since I was a child. When you can't be there, I am happy to make sure your buddy gets all the love, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Rest assured that whether your pet is an old friend or a new addition, I will provide customized care - from snuggles to medication, walks to post-surgical care, and everything in between! I have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your pet(s)! My availability includes regularly scheduled visits and drop ins are welcome. I can also be available on short notice. I enjoy providing conscientious, customized, and individualized care. Please share with me any favorite games, treats, and rewards! Trust, safety, satisfaction, and attention to detail are my highest priorities.

About: As a long time pet lover, I began caring for dogs in my neighborhood and volunteering at the local animal shelter at the age of 12. I went on to work for a local petsitting company as a house sitter and dog walker while I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I am a skilled dog trainer currently offering training services in the Eugene/Springfield area. My dog training career started when I completed an internship with a local dog trainer in high school and since then I have continued to expand my knowledge of dog behavior through training experience, research, interviews with trainers, and online courses. I utilize gentle training techniques that reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and promote relaxation and confidence. I never engage in harsh training methods such as prong collars, shock collars, dominance, or physical force; my techniques are based only on positive reinforcement and trust. I specialize in training dogs with separation anxiety so if your dog suffers from this, they will be in good hands and they will never be left alone for long periods. Before joining Rover, I was already providing dog boarding and daycare to my existing training clients. I have experience with a variety of senior dogs and I am able to administer any medications your dog requires. I also offer daily teeth brushing if this is part of your dog's routine. You can rest assured that whatever your pet's needs are, they will be met while they are under my care. I am also an independently insured petsitter with Pet Care Insurance which covers accidents or injuries and provides that extra peace of mind. Petsitting and dog training is my full-time job and my husband works from home, so there is usually always someone home with the dogs. I provide boarding and daycare 7-days a week and your dog’s health and happiness is my sole responsibility allowing me to be attentive to your dog's needs throughout the day. My home is an ideal boarding or daycare situation for your small dog. I only accept dogs that stand 17 inches or less at the shoulder and weigh 30lbs or less. I do occasionally make exceptions to this rule for senior dogs up to 40lbs that are very good with small dogs, calm, low energy and slow moving. I also have a maximum of 5 dogs staying with me at a time (which is a group of 8 if you include my own 3 dogs) and this keeps the overall energy more calm and less chaotic. I don’t accept Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Pitbull Terriers, Bulldogs, Bull Terriers, Huskys, German Shepherds and Chow Chows or their mixes due to these breeds not being a good fit for my small dog environment (a small percentage of 15% or less is okay if it came up in your dog’s mixed breed DNA test though). Please keep in mind I carefully screen all dogs for proper temperament and your dog needs to be friendly and well accepted by my pack during a daycare trial or meet and greet in order to be approved for boarding. My priority is to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for small dogs, and reduce the risk of injury. I have a house with a dog door and securely fenced yard. Your dog will have frequent potty breaks and full access to the house and yard. At night I offer a number of different sleeping options depending on your dog’s size and temperament. They might sleep loose in the living room where they'll have comfy couches and beds available, in a soft sided crate on our bed (or on the floor next to the bed), or in an exercise pen. If your dog is small enough, comfortable and tolerant of other dogs around them, and sleeps peacefully then they will be allowed to sleep in the bed with us, but it depends on the dog. I do not by default require dogs to be crate trained, and if you prefer your dog not be crated they can usually have a crate-free experience at my house. In this case, I only use a crate or exercise pen as a last resort if your dog displays destructive behaviors that cannot be managed any other way. I am very safety oriented and I will ensure your dog is never left alone with my dogs, or dogs from other households. I use tall pet gates to ensure all entrances are secure when doors to the outside are being opened to prevent escapes. I always check the vaccination status (including bordatella) of all potential dogs who stay with me. If your dog experiences an illness or injury during their stay I will contact your dog’s usual veterinarian. In case of an emergency after hours I can take them to Wilvet South at 444 B Street in Springfield. I do everything I can to make sure your pet has an stress-free, comfortable stay with me.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, owner, and certified dog trainer, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog in my care. I combine patience, attentive care, and professional knowledge of dog behavior to make sure your dog feels safe, understood, and happy while they're with me. **I prioritize your dog's well-being and want you to feel confident knowing they're genuinely cared for.** I keep a consistent schedule of recurring dog-walking and training appointments, while reserving time for boarding, daycare, and other care needs. I plan my schedule around confirmed bookings so that each dog in my care has their well-being prioritized. I'm happy to discuss your dog's needs and see what works with my availability. **Walks & drop-ins: 9 AM–7 PM **Boarding & daycare drop-off/pick-up: 8 AM–8 PM I pay close attention to each dog's body language, communication, and individual temperament so I can respond appropriately and help them feel safe and comfortable. Good care means more than keeping a dog fed and exercised. I provide structure, reinforce good manners, and make sure nuisance behaviors aren't allowed to become habits while your dog is in my care. I build trust through patience, consistency, and clear communication, while adapting my approach to each individual dog.

“Kelsie was fantastic! She was very timely, posted photos of each drop-in visit, and described each event that occurred during the visit. My wife and I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! My name is Chelsea and I have loved dogs my whole life. My family had a bichon frisé when I was growing up, and I have adopted two of my own dogs in the last few years. One was a senior rescue and the other is a 3 year old rescue. Because of this, I do have experience working with senior dogs and administering medication to dogs. I have 15 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I primarily conduct my pet sitting services through another pet care app (not sure if I can list the name on here since it might be a competitor of Rover!) and I have nearly 200 5-star reviews on that app. At the moment, I am between full-time jobs, so pet care has become my full-time role for the time being! I primarily conduct my pet care services through another app (I am not sure if I can list the name here since it might be a competitor of Rover!) and I have nearly 200 5-star reviews on that app. There are several dogs that I walk on a weekly basis, but I still have room in my schedule to take on additional walks and sittings! When offering boarding, I make sure to keep my dog separate from the dog(s) I am boarding. She is super friendly but I like to be safe just in case and make sure everyone has their own space!

“Rosa did a wonderful job again! She has been gaining the trust of my not so trusting cat and is very respectful of her boundaries. My cat now runs up to greet Rosa and allows pets. My elderly mother who lives in the house is also very fond of Rosa and feels very comfortable having her here. Rosa sends pictures and videos during her visits which helps me feel confident that my cat is being well taken care of. I would definitely continue to book with her and encourage others to do so. She is a very kind and thoughtful caregiver.”
