Pet Sitting in Lisbon

About: I have spent many overnights at homes while providing pet care. The durations of these stays have been up to a week. I do very well with following clear directions for feeding, medications, as well as other pet care needs. This includes affection and playing— I absolutely love dogs and cats! I am a teacher, which of course is a very busy job. However, I do not work over the summer, which means I have lots of flexibility in these months. I am also available during most weekends! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following instructions regarding feeding, medications, going outside, as well as anything else that may be necessary! When owners are gone, I recognize it is best for the pets to keep their routines as consistent as possible! I respect any rules clients may have for their pets (e.g. where around they house they are allowed, any dietary limitations, and any necessary precautions to take so that the pets stay safe!)

“We always feel so at ease when we’re away and Sandy watches our husky. She does a great job and always sends us the best pictures. She’s also done walks and drop-ins when we have a second dog staying with us, including guests and fosters!”

About: As a pet lover, I know they’re not just pets — they’re family. That’s why I’ll give your pets the absolute best care, just like I would my own. I’ve pet sat during the day and overnight, and I’ve walked and checked in on pets several times. I understand that every animal has their own unique needs. What sets me apart is that I’ve owned a variety of pets throughout my life — dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I’m also always willing to learn and adapt to make sure your pets get the care they deserve. My main job is seasonal, so I’m currently free at the moment to help any pet owners during the busy summer months. Check my calendar for my flexible hours! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll work closely with you to understand their needs and make sure they’re cared for with the same love and attention you’d give — even while you’re away.

“Dawn was very professional and timely. She did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. I would book Dawn again for pet care and drop in visits. Thank You!”

About: Working with animals of all sizes, from cats and dogs, to horses and more, I have lots of valuable experience! My love and passion for animals since childhood has continued on into college, where I am majoring in Veterinary Technology and Animal Sciences. My classes provide me with further exposure and education on species of all kinds. Being around animals is truly my happy place! Being home from college on break until the last week of January, I am hoping to stay busy and hang out with some furry friends! My schedule and availability will be determined on a first come, first serve basis! I am very thorough with the caretaking of animals, ensuring everything is done safely and as requested by the owners. I will love and care for your pets, just as I would my own!

“Quite pleased with Sue. I only have a cat but that said , my cat came out to play with Sue swishing Maggie’s’ fishing pole. I knew this because I got many photos and text which makes me so happy when I am away. Will definitely use again.”

About: I have grown up around pets my whole life. While my husband and I don’t currently have our own pets to love,I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the past 6 years. I love getting to meet new pets and give them all the love and attention. As a school teacher, my availability during the school year is limited. But in the summer months I am free to care for your pets and give them extra love and attention! I have experience with dogs of varying anxiety levels and am cautions/aware when walking dogs or taking them outside. I will follow instructions around pet care, you know them best!

“We are forever grateful for the care and attentiveness Robert gave to our dogs. He was the first stranger we asked to care for our animals which is in itself an unnerving experience. He gave extremely thorough accounts of our pets demeanor, energy level and any other pertinent information. We highly recommend him. We will certainly contact him in the future when we need a care giver for our pets.”

“I was really nervous about leaving my 18 year old cat with someone else but Ariel put me completely at ease. She was so kind and caring with my cat and completely comfortable administering medication and following special feeding instructions. She also sent me great pictures of my pet each day and was very communicative about how things were going. When I arrived home my cat was content and well cared for. I would highly recommend her for any pet care situation. Thank you Ariel”

About: Hello, I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and turtles. For the past four years, I’ve mostly been house-sitting/taking care of a good neighbor/friend turtle who I love dearly. I’ve put her to bed and cleaned her cage, along with feeding her while sitting with her for 3+ hours most days. I’ve learned to care for pets as if they are my own and love all animals. :)) Pet care is a vital and seamless part of my daily and weekly routine. Over the past four years, I have taken care of dogs, cats, and especially a neighbor's turtle, who I have grown to love dearly. Each day, I ensure that she is fed and her cage is cleaned, and I spend over three hours sitting with her, ensuring she feels loved and cared for. This routine has taught me to care for pets as if they were my own and deepened my love for all animals. Incorporating pet care into my schedule is crucial to me. I ensure my pet is happy and healthy, from morning walks to evening snuggles. Every activity, whether feeding, brushing, or playing, is an opportunity to deepen our bond and show my pets the love and attention they deserve. Balancing pet care with my other responsibilities, such as my involvement in ROTC at Norwich University for the past three years, has honed my discipline and time management skills. In addition to my ROTC commitments this summer, I am taking summer courses and have lacrosse practices. Despite these busy schedules, I always ensure that pet care remains integral to my routine, reflecting my dedication to their well-being. As a dedicated pet caregiver/Owner, my approach to pet care is tailored to the pet's needs and the environment. I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing space in my own home or while providing services for clients. This includes regular feeding schedules, enriching activities such as walks or playtime, administering medications if needed, and maintaining cleanliness through regular grooming and sanitation practices. Additionally, I strive to provide ample affection and attention to ensure each pet feels valued and loved, whether under my roof or in the comfort of a client's home.

About: I've cared for all kinds of animals including farm animals like chickens and goats to typical house pets, Right down to a sugar glider once I have a wonderful schedule that allows me 3 days off. With school getting ready to pick back up again and winter on its way. I'm looking for a little extra income and what better way than to spend some hours with the best things on the planet, pets! Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are my days off so those are the days I will be available most often. Though, because I don't leave for work until noon, I would be open to morning drop-ins when possible on the weekends. It's important for pets to know they're taken care of fresh food and water. Some play time and company clean litter boxes and walks. Their comfort is key.

“Emily took great care of my two cats while we were away. It's clear she really loves animals and they were very glad to see her each day. She sent pictures and gave me daily updates as well.”
