Pet Sitting in Italian Swiss Colony

About: I've been caring for animals my entire adult life and after changing careers I decided to pursue something that makes me enjoy my work. I spent several years volunteering for a local shelter dealing with situations that included large and small breed dogs. Recently (the last 4 years) I've opened my home mostly to short term fosters that need a temporary place before finding forever families. This process has given my ample experience in home settings where I'm now extremely comfortable interacting with animals unfamiliar with me or a new environment. I can provide Play Time, Walking, Park Trips, Long Distance Day Trips, Feeding, and even Poo Removal. I'm new to Rover but you won't find someone with more practical experience and passion than myself so please get in contact if you would like to meet ! Currently I'm working part-time so my schedule is typically open 5 days a week but I'm sure arrangements can be made depending on the situation. I have a large fenced yard and three friendly dogs of my own to keep visitors company. If you require in home care I will treat your property as if it was my own.

“Another great job!”

“Mayra took very good care of my two indoor cats. She made twice daily visits and sent plenty of pictures. My cats looked well-fed and relaxed and their box area was very clean. She even kept my plants watered and replaced the hose sprayer which broke from age during her visit.”

“Michael kept me updated with photos and videos of walking my fur babies while I was away on my trip. They are very happy in their photos and seemed to enjoy Michael's company. Would use again!”

“Second time working with Alexis and we are very grateful for her. She went above and beyond for us when she came into the home for a check in and noticed our dog was shaking and scared because of a beeping noise in the house. She went out of her way to help fix the problem to calm our dog. Very appreciate!”

About: I've cherished animals my whole life, caring for a diverse range including dogs, cats, birds, livestock, and reptiles. With extensive experience in training dogs, I consider all our pets as beloved members of the family. With my own business, I often work from home, and my husband, currently transitioning careers, attends college part-time. One of us is typically home, complemented by our part-time groundskeeper who tends to our animals and builds structures for them on weekdays. Additionally, we have a weekly gardener and housekeeper to maintain our home and garden. Our expansive backyard, nearly a full acre, is fully enclosed by a chain-link privacy fence. It features a spacious grassy area, automatic water systems for the dogs, and ample shade on the porch equipped with fans. For added security, we have commercial-grade cameras surveilling the property 24/7.

About: I have had to help and support my three dogs at my old home. Also, I have had to help support my roommate's new dog. Some of the things that I have done included picking up poop, walking the dog, and feeding them to help my roomate or family have a break while they were at work. I am currently in need of a job to pay rent during the summer. My summer hours range from morning to mid-afternoon Monday through Sunday. When I have my full-time job in August, I am available for the weekends or part-time. Walking/House Sitting (your home): I will take your pet on a desired walk rate. I will play/socialize with your pet. I will take them on potty breaks as needed. I will monitor and support your dog. I can help clean their poop or pee when needed.

About: I have been working with animals since the age of 10 where I volunteered at a family friend's dog daycare. I learned the basics of animal care there and went on to do great things in the field. I went on to do years of volunteer work as well as an internship at a Non-profit cat shelter and clinic. I worked for a few different dog day cares both here and in Reno where I spent a year. I have my own fur babies whom I love to pieces. I am Pet CPR and first aid certified. I also have grooming experience. I can cut nails, give baths, teeth brushing, and minimal hair trims. I also have knowledge in pet nutrition. Your pet will have a blast with me! I can guarantee dog park runs, getting to sleep in bed, and just an overall comfortable experience. Thanks for reading! Please note: My boyfriend will be accompanying me to any overnights. And if I am unavailable, he will take on clients as well. *Additional fees apply when outside of immediate location.* I work 4 days a week as a first responder and Brandon works 3 days as a first responder/teacher so someone is always home with pets and if we both have to leave, it won’t be for longer than an hour or 2. We have a fenced in yard, spare bedrooms, extra crates if needed, and always someone home with your pets! We always lock up food/meds to prevent any accidental ingestions.

About: I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs, having grown up with them throughout my life. Currently, I volunteer at an animal shelter, further enhancing my knowledge and skills in animal care. My experience spans caring for animals of all ages, from young kittens and puppies to senior pets requiring specialized attention. My passion for animal welfare drives my commitment of providing the highest standard of care, ensuring that every animal and owner has the best possible experience. I have an open schedule. I am available any day except Mondays before 1. I also am booked from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m as well as 2:30-3:30 p.m. on weekdays. I have a grassy backyard that is fenced in with friendly dogs to keep your pet company in case they feel lonely. I also have plenty of space in the front yard if your animal prefers to be there.

About: I’ve loved animal my entire life, and I’ve been lucky to turn that passion into over 10 years of experience as a pet sitter. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I always make sure they feel loved, happy, and safe while their owners are away. I am currently working remotely full time at home, and can check on the pet through out the day as needed since I work from home. I live in a 4 bedroom house that has a fenced backyard. I have a designated room for the dog or cat I am currently petsitting.

About: I have been caring for pets big and small all my life, so when it comes to your fur baby I will treat him/her like my own. I enjoy taking my dogs to the dog park because it's a great way for them to meet other dogs and it's an excellent form of exercise for the dogs. I always make sure they stay hydrated during this time of play and when it's time to call it a day, nothing beats some TLC with treats, scratches, and cuddles before my time with your pup is up. With Rover I hope to gain a few extra bucks to help me pay my bills. Thank you for trusting in me with your fur baby and I hope to see you again ☺️

About: Never lived a day in my life without a dog and i could never imagine it. I started pet sitting since 2019 with my mother in Brentwood Ca and have moved out too Madera and bringing my services with me. I hope too build enough clients that I can open a pet sitting hotel one day. In my home I currently have two dogs on pit/weenie mix (7) and German shepherd (3) both fixed, super friendly and love meeting new friends. I have 2 outside cats that occasionally come hangout when they run out of food. I strive too make an active effort of your pet’s safety at all times . This means I never leave your pet unattended and am always available for check ins too easy your mind. I have a cousin that helps me run my service at home too ensure that your pet will never be alone. I have worked with dogs and cats all shapes, sizes, and ages. All I ask is that you bring whatever your pet needs too feel most comfortable, a blanket or bed , food a favorite toy and any other accommodations your pet may need too ensure they feel safe and comfortable in my home. Me and my cousin Antonio accommodate our schedules so that someone will be home at all times. Pets have access too potty breaks at anytime of the day water and am happy too accommodate too any eating schedule. If me and my cousin Antonio are chosen for your pets Sitters you can count on us to keep them safe, and show them lots of love. Typically we assigned designated areas for your pups so that they have a safe space every-time they come. There is water left out all day so they can clench their thirst. The food bowls however are given at owner’s instructions for feeding times in designated areas too ensure they are eating properly and safely .Usually we start our day around 7am and wind down around 9 pm. Depending on the and amount of pets during their stay, if low population we will go for a walk, play outside or play inside. If higher population pets will be allowed to play with other pets unless instructed not to. Being away from home can sometimes be very scary to our pets ,so, we do ask that you bring the following applicable items: crate, bed, blanket, food & treats.

About: I have been owned by Malamutes and Jack Russells since I was 18! (trust me that's been decades!) I've worked with dogs and horses for the majority of my life. The past 15 years, I've been involved with rescue work, assisting with fostering, transport, fundraising, assessing, rehabbing and adoptions. I have advocated for animals/wildlife my entire life! To say I love creatures is an understatement! I am comfortable with providing meds if needed, light walks and tons of love and general care! Give yourself peace of mind when you are away be it at work, or the weekend with having me assist you with continuing the love of your critter(s)! I also have a lifetime of experience with horses and can assist with ranch/farm sitting and care while you are away. I'm an early morning person! I will be available to do 'check ins' throughout the day, light walks and will be doing pet sitting at your home, however, staying overnight would be difficult as I have a senior companion of my own! I do not set a schedule, as I feel those of us owned by a four legged buddy, may need assistance at an odd time. Face it every day they need us, and not everyone works a M-F schedule! I always work with my clients to have as little disruption as possible for the animal(s). I will spend the time loving on them and making sure they have what is needed. Photos and texts (or a call) will be sent to each client, as I feel that is important. If you are gone and need me to come in multiple times, the same thing will hold true. While I do not offer overnights, I can do multiple check ins for extended times.

About: I have always had pets including those that need medication and insulin shots and glucose checks, during high school I did grooming with my aunt. I work 7-5 but the rest of my time is open. For any walks feeding or needs that your pet may have. Just make a list!! Whatever is needed I can arrange. Especially cuddles! But any walks medication special needs I can handle. Trust is important and I am your girl!

About: I have always loved animals. When I was a child it was cats cats cats, then I got my own dog and it was all over. I adore the connection dogs have with us. Proper walking and nutrition was the focus of my learning about them when I first started on this road some 29 years ago. I’m currently open any time, though that may change in the future. I walk my own dogs each morning but other than that I am available to help you with yours. At my house we have a secure yard and a lot of space to play. I have a golden doodle that would love to meet your dog. She’s friendly and gentle, even if your dog isn’t the best with other dogs. In your home I focus on play time and loves, and if you want to add it, a good walk (appropriate to the dog’s age and condition).

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up with dogs and cats until I was 17. For the past 3 years, I’ve raised and cared for my own dog, giving me daily, hands-on experience with training, feeding, exercise, and lots of love. I treat every pet like family. I’m calm, patient, and reliable, and I pay close attention to each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable with puppies and seniors, and I know how to build trust fast with shy or anxious pets I work Monday through Wednesday from 2–6 PM, but I’m available mornings, evenings, and all day Thursday and Friday. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine—I love starting or ending my day with walks, visits, or quality time with pets Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. I follow all instructions closely, keep a calm and clean environment, and always make sure pets feel secure and loved. I respect routines, give lots of attention, and build trust through consistency and care.
