Pet Sitting in Martensdale

“Becky does a fantastic job taking care of our dog when we are away! He has lots of energy and she makes sure he gets his exercise, food, water and play time. I can’t recommend her services highly enough!”

“Eddie provided drop-in visits for our hound dog Milo while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. He took good care of Milo and communicated well with us throughout, giving us great peace of mind. Would definitely recommend.”

Lynne R.

“Our kitties loved Tim, and they were very happy and calm when we returned home. He provided lots of play time for the younger cats, and lots of photos while we were away. I think they were disappointed it wasn't Tim when we walked in the door!”

“Kristin did an outstanding job taking care of my two dogs and two cats while I was away for five days. The true measure of that is how relaxed they were when I returned. I highly recommend her and will certainly be using her again.”

Tom R.

“Rachel did a great job watching our dogs while we were away for the day. She was reliable, communicative, and sent updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. Our dogs were well cared for, and we came home to happy pups and everything in great shape. We would definitely book with Rachel again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always been second nature to me! I love going on walks, throwing the ball until we’re both tired, and working on little training sessions with treats and a clicker. What I enjoy most though, is getting to know each dog’s personality. I’m always curious about what makes them tick. Why do they carry the same toy everywhere? Why do they love one person and bark at another? Why is the vacuum their greatest enemy? 🤣 Over the years I’ve spent time with dogs of all different personalities and energy levels, and I’ve learned that no two are exactly alike. Taking the time to learn their routines, quirks, and favorite things is one of my favorite parts of caring for them. ❤️ There’s just something special about earning a dog’s trust and watching them get excited to see you. 🥹 I’m usually available after 5pm on weekdays and have a much more flexible schedule on weekends. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, some playtime, or just a friendly face, I’d love to help. ❤️🐶 I’ll always keep you in the loop with updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pup is getting lots of attention and care while you’re away. ☺️ I pretty much just follow your dog’s lead!! Before the visit, I’d love to hear ALL about them! What they like, what they don’t like, their routine, their weird little habits, all of it.🥰 If they want to play fetch, we’ll play fetch. If they want a walk, we’ll go on a walk. If they want to lay on the couch and get pets while I tell them how cute they are, I can easily do that too. 🤣🥰

“Lexi was amazing. I never doubted her ability to address any issue that might arise in my absence. Her communication was daily and kept me abreast of any concerns. She was proactive in predicting potential upcoming challenges and sought solutions so everything went smoothly. Lexi is very professional and met all the expectations I laid out for her before her assignment.”

About: I have a life of experience caring for my own animals including dogs, cats, newborn pups and kittens, a chinchilla, chickens, and geese! I regularly pet sit for my neighbor and have been asked to do the same by many friends. I have the summer off from teaching, so I am pretty flexible until late August! Then my schedule is limited to afternoons and evenings and may depend on location. I'm available to feed and play with your furry loved ones! I'm comfortable administering any medicine they may need as well. I've got it, no sweat!

About: I started off my experience with pet sitting 10 years ago with 2 Bichon dogs. They required a lot of care and I loved every minute I spent with them. I had a dog growing up and she was my pride and joy. When pet sitting, I make sure that I give the pets attention and love that I would like to give my own pet. When pet sitting, I typically have the dog come to me or I can do drop in visits to your home. I can also spend the day going on walks and relaxing with your dog. I do not have a dog of my own, but I do have a lot of experience interacting and caring for all kinds of dogs. I am a teacher, so I have the summer off to be able to take care of your dog during morning and afternoon. I can also take them on long walks. I plan to make sure that your dog gets what they need. For example, make sure that they have food and water. Also, provide them time to be outside and to be active if needed.

“Lexie is great! She always responds to messages right away, arrives on time to check on my pets, and keeps me updated with pictures. She took the time to get to know my shy cat and make sure she ate her food while she was there. I definitely trust her to take good care of my animals when I’m gone!”

About: With a lifelong ownership of dogs and cats, my experience expanded into rescue fostering in 2021. During this time, I have successfully handled pets that deal with separation anxiety, reactivity, handicaps, and limited obedience/cooperation. I am genuinely excited to learn more about your pet(s), their specific care requirements, and their quirks. I’d love to have responsibility of being your trusted caretaker while you’re away! I am currently working fully remote so am able to do all activities through the weekdays, and have flexible hours on weekends. I’m available to accommodate your schedule to the best of my ability. My home is pet-free, ensuring a comfortable environment for your pet(s), especially if they don’t get along well with other animals. Drawing from my experience with reactive dogs, I am experienced in implementing safety measures during outdoor walks or encounters with other animals.

“Cheyenne is amazing and was willing to spoil my pet like it was her own. So very thankful to have her as my pet sitter!”

About: I have cared for animals most of my life. I have cared for common house pets, rodents, birds, reptiles, and even live stock/ farm animals. My life goal is to become a vet and I have experience taking care of special needs animals. I currently work Monday - Friday 9 hours a day but will be home by 4. I live in a 3 bedroom apartment with 2 friendly cats that have both been raised around dogs most of their lives. There is also a park down the street that is just a few minutes walk. At the moment I do ask that if your furry family member will be a guest over night that a crate is provided for safety of your family and my own. I can care for your furry friends before I leave for work and after I return from work. I am also free most weekends and can watch them from Friday to sunday Your furry friends will not have access to anything harmful and will be allowed on my furniture. For their safety and mine at night I will have them sleep in a kennel.

About: My own furry family consists of 3 wolverines (chihuahuas), 1 pit/boxer mix, 3 horses, 2 cats and a gaggle of happy, laying hens. As a lover of ALL animals, you can trust your furry family members to my care. I currently work in healthcare, and I am very blessed to work three days per week, leaving me with abundant free time to enjoy the outdoors. With a wide variety of animals, caring for them is of utmost importance. I remain knowledgeable in animal behaviors, wound management, illnesses and preventative vet care.

“Molly showed up ontime. She followed all the instructions that I gave her. She send me pictures to make sure I don't miss my cats. She was trustworthy, and I will definitely choose her as my sitter in future.”

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

About: Growing up, my family didn’t have pets, so I love my friends and family’s pets like they are my own! I am intentional and ask questions when learning from owners how to best interact with their pet(s). I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats, up to two of each at the same time. I prioritize playtime and being active with any pet I’m responsible for. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, and can adapt my skills and schedule based on their unique needs. My schedule is extremely flexible as I continue the job search post graduate school. I am able to support pet owners with short-term drop ins, frequent walks for high energy pets, and extended stays. I am available to care for pets in their own home. I aim to ease any stress by keeping their environment familiar and maintaining their usual schedule as much as possible.

About: I have had dogs since I was in the crib. I have been pet sitting others fur family for 6+ years. I adore animals! I will treat them like the fur babies you love. I have two dogs myself and they are my babies. I work a 9-3 job Monday-Friday and don’t work weekends. I would be home otherwise and might have the occasional plan or two but would discuss before hand. I have a fenced in yard. Both neighbors on either side have dogs but mostly bark to each other. My roommate does have two cats that roam but can be put in her room. Your fur baby will be put at top priority so that they feel safe and comfortable as if they were home with you.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes small to extra large as well as cats and even some exotic pets. I have been the go to sitter for my friends and family every time they go on vacation. I love caring for animals and can’t wait to help you with yours. I am experienced with animals- puppies to elderly dogs, kittens to elderly cats. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule and can work with what you need. I mostly have open afternoons and Friday through the weekend. While I’m taking care of your pet I will do all I can to assure they are taken care of physically as well as emotionally offering love, play and exercise, whatever it is they need that day. Every pet is different and I will work with you to ensure they are getting what they need from me, walks, pets or play.

“Olivia was the BEST!!! This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have had a better experience!! Thank you Olivia for taking such good care of Maizy! We will definitely call on you again!”
