Cat Sitting in Ladora

“Christina is so good with our shy kitty! She’s actually made friends with her. Usually our cat hides from new people. I feel great about leaving Christina in charge of our pet!”

About: I have had a pets my entire life, mostly dogs and cats. I currently have 2 labs and 1 golden doodle who roam the yard with our farm animals; chickens and ducks. They are kennel trained and wouldn’t be around customer pets. I have 3 kids who love learning and helping out with chores. They are in extra curricular activities but I would ensure a schedule with you before the time of watching your fur baby. My husband is home most nights and weekends (besides hunting seasons) and he works construction during the day. I am home most nights and weekends besides when I have drill with the Iowa National guard, I work full time with the guard. Our dogs currently have an underground fence but because we have one mischievous lab (Mayble) who likes to convince the other two to go on adventures, we kennel her and our youngest (Bailey, golden doodle) during working hours. Our eldest (Max) is pretty lazy and wonders our yard freely during the day and night without his collar.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have had many pets over the years, including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, degus, sugar gliders, hamsters, gerbils, mice, parrots, fish and many reptiles. Please don’t hesitate to message me about caring for any pocket pets/exotics! I started working at doggy daycares/boarding facilities when I was a teenager. I now work in veterinary medicine, currently at an emergency clinic, and pet sit on the side! I’m new to Rover but not new to pet sitting and am happy to provide additional references if desired. I had an injury recently and am on medical leave, so I’m currently available just about anytime for your pet’s needs! I’m available to stop by your house several times a day to feed, walk, and play with your pets as needed. I can also stay at your house full time. I’m happy to drive your pets to any grooming/veterinary appointments as well. For pocket pets/exotics, I can either do drop in visits, house sitting, or board them at my house if preferred (they will be kept away from my dogs, cats and other pets at all times) - if boarding, you can provide a cage/enclosure, or I have several spare ones of various sizes/styles I can set up if you let me know ahead of time. I work as an overnight tech at an emergency vet clinic and have access to veterinary care 24/7 should it ever be needed.

“Chelsea took great care of our cats when we were out of town for the week!! We will definitely rebook with her.”

“Chrissy was AMAZING with my Lab and Rottweiler. I recommend her to anyone needing their fur babies watched. She was very communicative, punctual, friendly, and trustworthy. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would🤩”

About: I have experience pet sitting as well as currently working at a Doggy Daycare/Boardinh facility! I grew up on a farm, so I am used to working with animals, and I also have pets of my own! I have taken care of a large variety of pets, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. I am also used to giving medication to pets that require it! I currently am working part time at a pet care facility, so I would love to incorporate more pet care into my life! I am happy to help wherever I can, however early or late needed! I have a great ability to read a pets body language and help them get used to me when visiting them in home. I also understand boundaries and love walking pets, while also keeping them under control and safe!

“Hailey went above and beyond! We loved getting the updates and photos! She asked great questions and made sure our loved ones were well cared for while we were gone! Definitely highly recommend Hailey!!”

I love exercising and walking and always make the pets included if they want to be, even my 15 pound cat in his backpack! I currently live in an apartment building and go for walks frequently. I do own a cat backpack that is breathable for the cats to take them on walks as well as a cat and dog leash and harness for small dogs! I also have lots cat toys and a few dog toys that are just waiting to be used by someone other than my cats (whom are great with other animals).

“I highly recommend Ali’s services. I was looking for a sitter who not only loves my cats as her own but understands subtle changes in their health during my vacation. One of my cats is over 12 years old so I needed a sitter with veterinary skills and knowledges. I am glad that I have chosen Ali for my cats and will ask her again for next vacations. Her services are beyond my expectations.”

“Great job. Thank you”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats and have cared for families pets over the years. I used to have 2 cats! I love to spend time with animals and go for walks! I frequently dog sit for my sisters lab! I would love to take care of your baby! 🥰 I’m currently working full time Mon-Fri! The best time for me is weekends! I am very flexible and have a lot of time on my hands! I am on the first floor of an apartment with a walk out patio to a huge grass area! There is also a dog park and trail nearby!

About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was just a little kid. I’ve always held a special place in my heart for dogs, along with small critters. Just recently I moved from Wisconsin, working at a humane society there where everyday I did all the basic care routines/evaluations for approximately 40 dogs. It was a blast, but I’d also love to slow down, and give 1 on 1 attention to the needs of each. I am currently a pretty free person, beginning my career of dog training, Bait’s Purpose: K-9. I plan my future around my dogs, and training. I care for pets however is requested by the owner(s), this just varies on what each dog is comfortable with. Dogs are in great care, however.
