Pet Sitting McClain

“Having Lexie check in on our kitty while we were away provided such peace of mind. Lexie is dependable, showing for the drop in appointments consistently and timely. She asked questions and provided a high level of care for our kitty who needs medicine placed in her food. I appreciated her thoughtfulness. I definitely recommend Lexie. This was our first time using Rover and we found the experience easy.”

About: Lifelong pet owner with 2 years professional experience as a Veterinary Technician and 3 years working in boarding kennels. Experience includes dogs, cats, horses, reptiles and rodents! I have experience with long term petsitting and geriatric pet care and medication administration, as well as emergency response. I have raised a few dogs and cats (and a horse) of my own and have cared for newborn puppies and kittens and medically sensitive pets. Morning and night feeding schedules are no problem, as well as three times a day medication administration if needed. Dogs who love walks and hikes are always great for me, as I have plenty of time to get out in neighborhoods or longer hikes in the mountains if applicable. I am happy to have dogs off leash in hiking environments once trust is established, if applicable. I am happy to give pets as much attention as needed, including take dogs out on walks or car rides. I am also happy with staying with them overnight if needed. I have experience with handling larger more energetic breeds as well as those who are aggressive and/or territorial. I enjoy caring for social cats who enjoy human contact and need company, but am happy to leave them to their independence if they desire. I have dealt with a variety of emergencies both working at a veterinary clinic and caring for elderly and sensitive pets, and am trained in recognizing concerning health issues in dogs and cats. My cat is my best friend in the world and I do everything I can to make sure she is happy and healthy, so I understand when others always want the best care possible for the animals in their life.

“Carlee took great care of our dog while we were gone. She was very attentive and took great pictures to show us how he was doing. Great communication as well. Would definitely recommend Carlee!”

About: I grew up taking care of all sorts of animals, have my own dog, and have cared for friend’s dogs of all ages and breeds for years. I work a regular weekday schedule and have Fridays off, which gives me extra flexibility for pet care. I’m also available some weekends for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I take an active and attentive approach to pet care and will make sure your pet(s) get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship during each visit. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine closely, while also keeping an eye out for anything unusual. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away!

“Thank you Maisie! Checking in on our Cal, and playing with him!”

“Cora was absolutely lovely to work with. She is personable, kind, responsible, and thorough. She was attentive to our large family of animals and followed all of our care instructions. We felt comfortable knowing our pets were in capable hands and trusted that if anything needed our attention, Cora would let us know promptly. Cora even came through for us in a pinch when we realized we had made a scheduling error and needed an additional visit. We were incredibly grateful for her flexibility and willingness to help. Our animals seemed to bond with Cora right away, and we returned home to a tidy house and happy, well-cared-for pets. Beyond being dependable and attentive, Cora is just a genuinely lovely person and a pleasure to work with. It’s such a relief to have found someone we feel comfortable trusting with our home and animals. We’re grateful to have found her and look forward to having her care for our crew again in the future. Thank you Cora! 🐾”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in their homes for many years taking care of young to senior animals needing medicine. Having a fur baby of my own I understand how anxiety inducing it can be when their parents are out of town. I am gentle and attentive to fur friends as a guest in their home, while also respecting their varying social needs. My goal is to keep your loved one’s routine as close as possible to normal while their humans are away. I am self-employed and have a flexible work schedule. I am available to work with pet routines throughout the day, and can accommodate overnight stays if needed. Depending on your fur baby’s needs, I can come visit for meal time, walks, or if they need medication. I can also spend more general time in their home with them if they have more social needs.

About: Hi! With 6 years experience as a veterinary technician (veterinary nurse) and a medical degree you can be rest assured that your dog or cat is in safe and loving hands. It is my biggest pleasure to take your dog for a run, to the dog park, or on long walks. Just tell me what ativities your pup normally enjoys and I will do my best to make they do them. I love both dogs and cats and since I recently lost my pup of 15 years, being around as many pets as possible is my current goal after being quarantined alone. I have plenty of love to give. Administering medications, generiatic or special needs pets are no problem for me to give the best care possible.

About: I feel very comfortable in all areas of pet care. From working as a tech I am proficient in assessing pet needs, administering medications and overall I love seeing pets feeling good! I work part time ski instructing and part time slinging coffees, leaving 3 days a week for me to care for my local pets! I miss having a dog or cat of my own and working with Rover is a great way of remedying that! I have a fully fenced in yard, live in the Rattlesnake with great creek walks all around! I don’t mind staying in others’ home, I look forward to meeting your pet where they are most comfortable!

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a toddle. I was raised on a farm. I am good with any kind of animals. I work 10-6. I can check on them mid day as well. Just let me know their normal schedule and I will try my best to see them! I keep a clean and health environment for me and the pet. I always pick up after myself and the pets. I love dogs and cats.

About: I have cared for many types of dogs, big to small, young to old. One of my more recent clients had a big Labradoodle, who was a rescue and very skittish. I got along with Zooey right away, and we had some fun walks and runs. I love playing catch and tug-war with dogs as well. I myself am very energetic so I know how good it feels to get out in the fresh air and stretch your legs. I love dogs and cats, they are so full of love and I can't help but love them back. Since I have cared for many pets I know how to read them and give them space, pets and food when they need it. I have a cat of my own and know all the silly ways cats communicate.

About: Born and raised among the pack lol I’ve had critters ever since I can remember. We’ve always had dogs-multiple at a time-as well as cats and horses. I’ve given shots, administered meds, clipped claws, cleaned litter boxes, dog kennels, stalls and everything in between. I absolutely adore critters, so you can put your mind to rest knowing your fur babies will be treated as if they were my own. I own my own business so my hours are very flexible and I can move them accordingly! I can be around your critters 100% of the time, giving around the clock love, scratches, and adventure. I have a fenced kennel with access to go inside the garage and get out of the elements, as well as a adventurous spirit to go run or walk on the trails, throw a ball, or just give lots of cuddles and love. Really it’s all dependent on what each individual fur baby needs.

“Victoria watched our high maintenance Pitbull for four days and was fantastic with her! I'm both impressed and appreciative. I will always reach out to her first!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have 2 large breed dogs. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and many different temperaments, as well as working with reactive dogs on leash. I worked for a short while in the boarding portion of a vet clinic and have experience with overnight care of dogs and cats who needed very specific care such as specific foods and medications. I currently work part time, mostly remote and have flexible hours so I can fit home visits and dog walks pretty easily into my day. I live in Hamilton, so the closer you are to Hamilton the more likely it would be that I could help with short notice. I have a car and am happy to drive your pup to the park. I am usually unavailable on weekends but could most likely make something work Monday through Friday! I cannot have dogs at my house but I am available to come to your house for visits during the day (I need to be home with my own pups overnight) and could spend a few hours there working remotely if they need a little more time together. I would love to get them out for a walk or even short hike as well!
