House Sitting in Marigold

“Elena watching our high energy one year golden retriever and cat with separation anxiety for 14 days while we were out of the country. We came home to a clean home and happy, healthy pets, which is everything we could have hoped for. Elena was prompt with communication and profession. We had a great experience and will definitely hire Elena again in the future.”

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was a young boy. I love dogs of all species and love to play and learn about dogs when I can. I currently have a blue heeler so high energy dogs are no problem. I would love to use my free time to do something productive and help people make sure their animals are cared for and give them the extra attention that I can. I live in an apartment, but I love taking my dog to the park to play to let out his energy. We also love to play in the house aswell.

About: I've been surrounded by pets my whole life. I grew up with many cats (currently have 5) and a super loving golden retriever. Ever since I was 12, my neighbors and family friends have trusted me to watch their pets. Now that I'm away from home, I love any opportunity to spend time with animals. I can assure you your pets will be well taken care of and in loving hands with me!! I'm currently self-employed, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I can house-sit or stop in for as long as you need any days/times of the week! I have watched many pets over the years. If you have a specific routine with your pet, I will easily be able to adapt to it so that your pet can stay in routine!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 7 years as well as fostering when I can. Your dogs will be treated like my own! Both neighbors & family members have offered me the chance to pet sit before anyone else because they knew their dogs were not only taken care of, but loved. There have been occasions when I could not pet sit & they moved around their vacation days just to have me over. They know my experience with dogs goes beyond my own & extends out to strays & for that reason, they trust in my ability to care & love for their animal friends. I’m very willing to bathe, give special care, run errands if necessary for the pet & tend to special instructions left to ensure the pets safety & well being. I take care of my three dogs on a daily basis from morning to night from feeding, timed medications, walks, backyard time & cuddles to their hearts content! It’s a must to understand all the rules & boundaries with pets & their owners. One of my own dogs has medications that cannot be missed & I have also watched after other dogs who have special dietary restrictions & have medications that need to be taken on time. In my experience, special care comes with frequent bathroom breaks, more love & attention, & a watchful eye. These are some of the things I’ve taken on while watching dogs/pets.

About: I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s habit, routines and for a custom, 1on1, reliable care! :) As an independent sitter, you’re never just a time slot in my calendar. I take the time to get to know your pet’s personality, quirks, and routines so they feel safe, happy, and loved whether I’m there for an hour or overnight. I organize my schedule around your needs wether early mornings, middayor evening check-ins, i’m consistent and attentive and always punctual. I’m super flexible since i work from home so i can absolutely give pets the time and attention they need which means they wouldn’t be squeezed into a tight schedule. I have a large backyard yard, completely fenced. I do not have any animals of my own so your pet will be safe and sound!

“Kendall was a wonderful dog sitter for our two young Lab puppies, and we appreciated that she took our request at the last minute. She kept our puppies entertained and out of trouble, and provided us with photos of what they were doing - all great things! Thank you Kendall!”

About: Hello! Don't let my profile location deter you from reaching out, I have a very wide service area. I am available to care for all of your pets while you're away! Please contact me for a quote if you have a pet you'd like me to care for other than a dog or cat (submit it as a dog/cat request) ☺️ New to Rover? I have a discount code for you if you book your first service with me! I am available for night and evening drop-ins to feed and play with your pets. Do you work nights and hate leaving your babies alone? Are you going to a fancy dinner and want to make sure your pets are okay when you're gone? I can come by and give you some peace of mind. I can also care for other pets, including lizards, fish, hamsters, rabbits, etc. I am a huge animal lover. I adopted a senior dog years ago and he was the best dog ever, up until his very last day in December, 2023. Our household has water snails, fish, three cats, a dog, and a pig! I have experience with rabbits and hamsters and other small pets, and I have experience with special needs animals. My longest boarding to date was 5 months for a senior cat with Cerebellar hypoplasia. My schedule recently changed, so I am available on most days for drop-ins and walks. I also offer boarding, house sitting, and daycare. We are a very animal friendly household. I have a fenced yard and a kiddie pool so your doggos can play and keep cool! My piggy will be there to keep your baby company and I have a 14 year old kid who loves to snuggle and play with all your pets! Cats will enjoy their own space so they can feel comfortable ☺️ !!!Important Notes!!!: I love watching and caring for your snuggle bug(s)! However, I have to sleep too. If you can't pick up your pet before 7pm, one additional day of boarding or doggy daycare will be added to your booking. An additional fee will be added for dogs over 40 pounds. Dogs under 1 year and/or "bully breeds" will be accepted on a case-by-case basis. By booking with me, you acknowledge that if your puppo damages property, you are responsible for any cost of repairs or replacement. When damage occurs, it is usually caused by pets that do not crate or have high anxiety when left alone for even short periods. My policy on dog breeds and sizes is in place because of two separate incidents. First, I lost a beloved pet to a boarded Rover doggo on Christmas morning, 2020. Having to put my little pig Minnie in the freezer after being attacked on Christmas morning was a horribly traumatic experience. In June 2023 I was attacked by a 110lb Rover dog at a meet and greet and had to go to the hospital. If the owner had not been present, I would have been killed. These are incidents that I will not risk repeating. Thank you so much for understanding!

“Tony was excellent. We were out of town for 11 days, he sent us updates and photos. He is an amazing communicator. Our flight canceled coming home and I had my sister go pick up the dogs, she said that the dogs were so calm and happy. He also left my house spotless. I couldn't be more happy with Tony's services. We will be going out of town a few more times this year, Tony will be our FIRST choice, nd hopefully only choice. We couldn't be more happy with the respect and love he gave to our home and our dogs. Thanks Again Tony.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, from newborn to senior I have cared for them all. Caring for animals is truly fulfilling. I work full time but I am available from Friday 5pm to Monday night. My dog is crate trained and she’s a tiny little lady so she won’t be a problem. I wouldn’t leave either my dog nor yours alone until I have verified they can play amicably. I live in a nice area where dog walking is common and there’s plenty of grass for long walks if needed

About: I love animals and have always had pets, and I'd love the opportunity to meet some new animal friends! I've volunteered over 150 hours interacting with and walking dogs and cats of all ages. I pride myself on being willing to learn from every animal and pet parent I meet. I am in the process of studying for a training certification and am learning every day about evidence-based animal care. I'll treat your pet with the same care, consideration, and respect as one of my own. I work and study remotely and so have plenty of time to drop in and care for your animals!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, goats, etc. I don’t remember a part of my life where I have not had an animal with me. I always be sure to take care of any animal in the utmost care. I believe pets to be family so I treat them like so. You can rely on me to walk, feed, and take care of your furry friends! My schedule is currently open during weekdays and weekends. I am pretty flexible with time. Therefore, I would suggest to just message me to work out times/days that work for both of us! I have a loving and playing golden retriever mix puppy at home . My dog stay indoors most of the time until she goes out for their daily walks. She’s extremely spoiled and get plenty of playtime. I make sure that she’s eat well and get plenty of exercise.
