Pet Sitting in Laura

“Kristy was incredibly kind and professional! She even took the time to come meet my dog before my first drop in visit so that my pup wouldn't be so nervous. I could rest easy knowing Kristy was there to make sure my dog was taken care of. I absolutely recommend her! She was fantastic!”

“I have used Shelbi for nearly a year, and I’ll never use another sitter (if it’s up to me). She’s so caring and good to my furbabies and she goes ABOVE and beyond to make sure they’re safe and happy when I’m away. 100/100, DO RECOMMEND!”

“Yolena was incredibly helpful and left robust notes at the end of her visit that left me feeling sure that my baby was well-taken care of. She communicated well and even helped with mail without being asked. Would highly recommend Yolena to any pet parent!”

“I am so grateful that I found Kayla on Rover. We had a meet and greet and my animals really took to her. She has a very calming and gentle energy that really connected with my two dogs and 2 cats. She agreed to do a drop in visit for me while I was out of town for an extended day. She tidied up after my stubborn Frenchie, took care of their food needs, got them some sunshine and exercise and sent some adorable photos. I am so happy and have already set up another sitting with Kayla.”

“Miranda was great and my cats appreciated her! I appreciated the updates and she went above and beyond to make sure they had what they needed.”

About: • Adult and senior dogs or cats • Special needs (blind, diabetic, trouble walking)) • Quirky behaviors • Puppies that need lots of potty breaks are no problem I am 54, married, retired, and am available 24/7. When not pet-sitting, I care for three dogs at home, plus two sheep and two goats. I will keep your home in great condition, cleaning up after your pets and leaving no trace that I was there. I bring my own snacks!

“Ashley is amazing! This is the second time we have requested her to help with our fur babies and she will be coming back in just month to help out again for a week. She is incredibly reliable and I can tell she takes wonderful care of my babies while we are away. We are so happy we found her and will continue requesting her when we have to travel.”

“Maura accepted our last-minute request to provide drop-in care for our cats and bird when an unexpected trip came up. We trusted her from our first meeting with her and she did a great job! She communicated with us and sent photos from every visit. We will definitely reach out to her when we need to travel again!”

About: I have been pet sitting for family members, friends and even people recommending me to others since I was 15! I would love to watch your animals as well!! I also work at an animal eye doctor that I have been at for over 2 years now and love it! I’m not afraid of any animal or task and would totally enjoy the time to get to know your lovely pets :) I currently work for an animal eye doctor 5 days a week so I am looking for someone that needs me for the weekend! I can do drop ins after 6 or even early in the mornings before 7 if needed. I also want to offer dog walking on the weekends, Saturday and Sunday. I cannot take pets into my home because it would not work with my pets at home but I am comfortable staying at others homes to care for their animals and any other house tasks such as watering plants or any other job I am put up to!

About: Hi, I have had dogs and cats since I was 10 years old with generally more than 1 at a time since then. I love all dogs and cats. I grew up with schnauzers and then my parents got 3 Bostons who were absolutely the best. They now have a little Shih-Tzu and Boston/BullDog mix. I love these guys. I watch other dogs belonging family as well. All animals (dogs and cats) have always seemed to be drawn to me. I, myself currently have 4 long-haired kitties that I rescued. They are the loves of my life. I treat all animals will love and respect and of course speak to them in a special baby voice meant only for them. I would love to look after and take care of your babies when you need it. Reach out as I would love to get to know you and your babies. I currently work full-time in a fully remote role that allows me to work from my living room. So I have a lot of flexibility and time to care for animals. I have a fully fenced in yard with a covered patio at my home. My four cats use it more than I do most times.

“Sydnee was great, didn't have to worry about the cats at all with her checking in!”

About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to pigs and cows. I love any and all animals. my husband is getting tired of me asking for more animals so we compromised on me getting to love your babies as if they’re my own! All of my dogs I’ve had since they were 8 weeks old, so i’m very comfortable with puppies, potty training & basic command training. I’m a stay at home mama so I have plenty of time to spend with your babies. We love to spend time outside playing and enjoying nature! We have a nice, big fenced yard for the dogs to run and play. Plenty of toys and bones for everyone to share. My toddler absolutely loves to give hugs and snuggle the animals. If anyone were to not get along or need to be kept separate, I can absolutely accommodate! I am fully insured with pet boarding specific insurance. Your family members are protected with me. I am happy to provide you with the proof of insurance, if you prefer!

“Angela takes good care of Oliver and communicates well so I feel good about leaving him in her care. I recommend her highly. I appreciate finding her after moving to the Troy area.”

About: I've had and taken care of animals since before I can remember. I've taken care of multiple elder dogs and being careful to give them their correct care. I have also recently got a puppy of my own who I have been working on to correct his behaviors. I am currently unemployed and have a lot of free time to dedicate to people's animals. I have my own car as well so I should be able to make it anywhere, anytime. I look for the animals comfortable spot and learn what toys they like the most. I spend as much time as the animal wants enjoying their company and playing fetch with their favorite toy.

“Aliece is just the gentle, loving spirit that our cats needed. We are so glad we found her. She took good care of our kids for the week we were gone, giving them attention and affection. She provided updates, with pictures and some videos, to let us know how they were doing. They clearly warmed up to her quickly. Even our 15 year old female cat, who is typically very timid and cautious, approached Aliece for petting on multiple visits. We were a bit surprised, and pleased, by that. :)”

About: I grew up on a farm raising and caring for a variety of breeds of dogs over the past 20 years. I take care of friends, family and co-worker’s pets on a regular basis. I treat pets like family, even other people’s pets. I have a passion for taking care of dogs and cats. I am comfortable with any breed or size dog. I can give a variety of medications if needed. I love taking dogs on walks. I would pet sit full-time if I could! My goal is to make sure every pet is happy, cared for and loved as if they were my own. I am a full-time firefighter/paramedic which allows me to have a flexible schedule. I work 24 hour shifts so I have a lot of time off to play with your pets! Dependability and communication are my utmost priority. I want all my clients to feel good knowing their family members are in good hands. I am flexible with the needs of the pets I care for. Let me know if your pets have any quirks, dislikes, favorites, etc so I can make them as happy as possible!

About: I have taken care of pets within my own home for my entire life. Feeding, walking, and playing are second nature! Secondly, I have had almost 2 years of experience in a professional shelter environment, learning about dog body language, medication and it's administration, and cheap and effective enrichment ideas for all dog needs! With a passion in animal care and a revamped schedule I have found a lot of free time and would love to use that passion for those in need! Can watch both dogs and cats, have watched large groups, disabled animals and those with very specific needs/ medication requirements. I work full time on the weekends and go to school, I am mostly available during the week, but all hours are available within reason! I prefer to do sitting work at the clients house as my living situation is already full of animals. Having 3 dogs and 3 cats in my home, it is not wise to bring additional animals with minimal meeting beforehand. Therefore I am willing and able to watch any animal within your living situation, following whatever routines and local rules as needed!

“Liz did a great job taking care of Ari for us while we were away! She provided updates and pictures each day and Ari was very excited to see her.”

About: Local Troy pet-lover who is re-entering the petcare field after a few years off due to work and caring for my children. I am currently only open to cat sitting, as that is all my schedule allows. I have cared for many pets over the years. I am an animal lover through and through. I have cared for dogs, cats, parrots, fish and even snakes! I managed a dog daycare for 5 years, worked at a dog rescue for 2 years, and have volunteered at a dog rescue for over 10 years. I walked dogs and cat-sat for 3 years during law school and have pet sat for as long as I can remember. I had a robust clientele with dogs of all breeds, personalities, and needs. I can provide references upon request. I have a kitten of my own and had my precious cat Pumpkin for 10 years before he passed away last year. For dog walks, I am free morning to mid afternoon. I am free to visit your kitty early morning, afternoons, and evenings. I am happy to visit once or twice a day, even 3x if your cat needs medication or extra human attention. I care for pets as if they are my own and I am very cognizant of each individual pets needs and always follow their family's instructions to a t.

“Frank once again, was a trusted sitter for our Elvis!! Elvis is wearing a cone at this time for a medical reason and is a Sr. dog. Frank follows through all the detailed instructions so Elvis's routine is the same and comfy as if we were here. Thanks Frank!”
