Cat Sitting in Marengo

About: I have had three dogs, myself and personally trained two of them! Our young growing family will give your pup plenty of attention and love! Your pup must be good with kids and animals as we have two young boys who absolutely love animals and a miniature Australian Shepherd, who will play well with any dog! There are also two barn cats on the property who keep to themselves for the most part. I will send update pictures daily, so you can be assured that your pup is doing great. We can’t wait to host your furry friend! I am a stay at home mom so I can be extremely flexible with schedule and be available for your pet most of the time and attend to the needs of your specific pet. I will be sure to feed your pet as often as they are used to at home and with the food you provide. I spend lots of time outside with the kids so you can also be assured that your pet will be given plenty of outside time! I am happy to leave pets inside if they prefer that as well. With our Australian Shepherd exercise will also not be a concern as he is very playful but he also will leave animals alone if they don’t want to play!

“I’m new to Rover and Amy exceeded my expectations! With Amy, I know Finn will be taken care of and I now have piece of mind while I’m away working.”

About: I have owned animals my entire life. I have extensive experience with dogs, cat and horses. I am heavily involved in animal rescue which has afforded me a wealth of knowledge, as well as being a pet owner for over 40 years. I can do weekday afternoons/evening. Depending on your location I can do potty breaks during the week. Weekends are my best availability but can make week days work depending on the day. I have the knowledge and skill to provide top notch care, not to mention, I love animals and enjoy cuddles and playtime to ensure they are living a healthy, active life!

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience managing a diverse, multi-species household. I currently own and care for a 6-year-old beagle, a 10-year-old senior (and orange) cat, four guinea pigs, and two rescue rabbits. My daily life involves balancing a high-energy hound with the specialized care required for senior cats and small animals. Having managed this "mini-zoo" solo on numerous occasions, I am highly organized, observant of subtle health or behavioral changes, and strictly dedicated to following established routines. Whether your pet is a social pup or a shy rescue bunny, I pride myself on providing patient, attentive care that respects their boundaries and keeps them happy in the comfort of their own home. My schedule is highly flexible! As a college student taking online summer courses with only a very limited part-time retail job (1-2 shifts a week), I spend the vast majority of my day at home. This allows me to provide consistent companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention for your pets. As a Type A student, I approach pet care with a "safety-first" mindset. I am CPR and Heimlich certified, ensuring I can stay calm and act effectively in an emergency. My 3.6 GPA reflects my discipline; I follow your care instructions and medication schedules to the letter, treating your house rules as my top priority. I am diligent about double-checking locks, gates, and alarm systems to keep your home and pets secure. I also offer frequent photo updates and clear communication so you never have to wonder about your pet's well-being. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I found it and your pets more relaxed than when you left.

“Kayla F, who did drop-in visits for my girl dog Luna, was great. She gave Luna extra attention and love, and sent pictures and updates from each visit. I would definitely use her again.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs for about 5 years for friends and family. I walk, feed, and administer medication. I also love to play with your pups! We will play a lot of fetch, go to the dog park, make crafts, and get lots of belly rubs. I have also had to handle seizures on several occasions. I currently work full time in downtown Delaware from 8:00-4:30, give or take the commute to and from your home. However, my weekends typically consist of hanging out and giving pups lots of play time. I love getting out for a walk or the dog park when it’s nice. If it’s not nice outside, I love to cuddle with your pup and a movie. When at other homes, I keep the same level of respect I would expect from someone staying in my home. I respect privacy of homeowners and I always leave the house clean. I also provide lots of photos and videos of your pets playing, lounging, and walking.

About: Hey guys! My name is Sam and I love dogs and cats! I have volunteered at the Humane Society of Delaware County. Most of my pets have been rescued from the Humane Society, as well as surrounding rescues. I'm experienced with puppies-senior dogs, and there is no breed that I dislike! I am experienced with all ages of cats as well! I can handle newborns-senior cats. I work full time as a Radiologic Technologist, so please keep this in mind when requesting to book, as I’m not available for drop ins/walks during the weekdays until about 4:30-5 pm. Other than that, I’m available anytime after 5 and anytime on the weekends. I'm available to bathe dogs as needed, give medicine when needed, pretty much anything you need. I can do walks, drop in visits, and stay at your home if you're away for extended periods of time. I am experienced pet sitting from my parents friends pop in visits, over night stays, and anything else they may have needed. I hope that you’ll choose me to help you out. I'm excited to meet you and your fur babies! I am also a Duck mom, so I am able to help care for your ducks if you have them! I work a full time job from 7am-5:30pm, and have Thursdays off. Along with my Thursdays off, I do not work weekends. I do not accept pets in my home, but am willing and able to come to your home. I can easily crate your dog if needed while I’m away. I follow all of your routines laid out so that we can put the least amount of stress on your babies while you’re gone. Please know that your pet/pets will be very spoiled with love and affection while you are gone! I treat every client’s animals as if they were my own. I understand the stressors of traveling and leaving your babies in the hands of someone else while you’re away. Your pets will be in great hands while you’re away.

“Jade is an awesome sitter!”

About: I have prior experience walking dogs and I have had cats in my home for the majority of my life. I have also volunteered at animal shelters to help take care of the cats and dogs there. Pet care fits into my weekly routine well since I now have much more time available to dedicate to it. I am available most days of the week with normal hours (9 AM - 5 PM just as a ballpark) unless something comes up. I will care for the pets in their owner's home or in mine the same way they would if not better. If there is something specific that the pet needs, I will take care of it.

“Ashley was so great for a last minute drop in, I appreciated the communication and her chilling with him while we had to be out of town”

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs as well as living with both in my adult years. I do also have experience pet/house sitting in the past. I currently do not have a pet at the moment as my cat passed about a year ago. I am looking forward to be able to meet and get to play with cats and dogs! I do work full-time during the week but am available on the weekends for house-sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking. I will open up availability for walking or drop-in visits during the evenings throughout the week. I will be able to watch your pets in your home as well as do drop-in visits in your home. This will include doing walks or playing.

“Josh did a wonderful job taking care of Mali. Mali took to Josh right away when he came for his meet visit which really put our mind at ease. He went above and beyond taking care of her. This was our first time using a rover but I will not hesitate to use Josh again. Mali was happy and well taken care of when we got home from our trip.”

About: I am a mom who recently lost her dog due to cancer a year ago. I do this as a source of income due to my health and kids. I grew up with dogs since I was born and am very familiar with large/extra large breeds but love all dogs! Just looking to help out another pet owner while making some extra money to buy my baby due in February of 2023 everything they need! I do have a local vet who will happily tell you how well I take care of my own pets and adore animals! I'm a stay at home momma. I do not have fenced in yard, daily walks once or twice a day are part of my routine along with lots of playing with toys! I am able to crate dog(s) if needed during night or when I am not home. I am not against dogs on furniture unless owner requests otherwise.

About: I have 9 years of experience caring for pets of all sizes and breeds. I’m skilled in administering medication, understanding pet behavior, and providing a safe, loving environment. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and happy while their owners are away. Neighbors, friends and families have relied on me to check in and play with their pets always pleased upon their return! Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities! I am currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I am available for boarding anytime as well as in house pet sitting! I currently have one cat who is used to dogs coming over to play, and will ensure your pets have the environment to play as well as be safe and healthy!

“Shirine was fantastic. Nellie was so happy to see her. received a detailed message of the visit along with many pictures. I would call on Shirine the next time we need a sitter.”

About: I am a dog mom to two dogs my Golden Retriever Charlie who is 7 and my Boston Terrier Pit mix Thumper who is 5. I have experience training both of my dogs as puppies as well as assisting friends and family with theirs. I grew up around animals and enjoy horse back riding, going on hikes with my dogs, and sitting for friends and family! I have experience with dogs as big as German Shepherds and Pit bulls as well as small Yorkies and chihuahuas. I love going on walks with the dogs that I watch and making sure they get some snuggles in! I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and spend time with them. I do work full-time but have flexibility in the evening/morning/and on weekends to assist with your needs. I can also assist with vacation check ins! Spending time with your fur babies would consist of walks, interactive play with their favorite toys to help get some energy out, meals as needed, and a quick treat training sessions for young puppies who are learning. Specific needs can be discussed as needed!

“Elizabeth did a great job of watching our cat when we were away!”

Kristina M.

About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals my whole life. I know how to deal with their temperaments and stress. I’ve never lived without having dogs. I am always the type of person to take a dog in that I find from the street. I have dealt with strays so I don’t just have experience with well trained dogs. I have also watched over peoples dogs for a while and I started walking dogs since I was 9. My grandma had a community that she lived at and I loved dogs so much that I would walk them for free. My passion for dogs will never go away. I currently work front desk at a hotel. I work Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I am able to walk dogs those days but only before 1 pm. Thursdays and Fridays I am totally free. And depending on the location, I can also do Saturdays. I currently have 2 dogs and they get walked once a day during the night. I also feed them a little differently than usual. I include green beens into their food as well as other healthy powdered ingredient so they are getting the right nutrition. I am fine with watching dogs at the clients home or mine. The only problem with my home is that I already have 2 dogs of my own. So the dog would have to get along with other medium sized mutts. When I have taken care of pets in another persons home, I like having a specific list so I know what’s best for the dog. I’m able to abide by any rules and I don’t mind if the dog needs extra care. I am up for it.
