Pet Sitting in Meadow Vista

“Nancy’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She’s responsive, eager to make sure all my animals are well taken care of. Whether it’s walking my rat terrier or making sure the heater is working so that they don’t get cold at night, she’s thoughtful and goes the extra distance. And she sends me pictures of the dog and cats at every visit in real time. She’s just wonderful.”

“Wonderful pet sitter!!”

“Sophia did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Ollie. We were worried about Ollie being shy. But were happily surprised to see that he made a new friend in Sophia :)”

“Lois my mom. Over the course of many years she has taken great care of her own dogs. I have to think that the best dog sitters have owned dogs and instinctively know how take care of them.”

“Nicque has many years of experience watching and caring for dogs and cats of various age and needs. She is professional, reliable, and passionate. She took care of our 100lb puppy giving him the attention and playful energy he needed. She has vet office experience and has worked with many demeanors of pets.”

“Amanda is amazing! I will use her again and highly recommend her. She made me feel at total ease about leaving my beloved lil’ pal in her care and is completely trustworthy.”

“Karissa took excellent care of our kitties while we were gone for a week. Additionally, she watered our vegetable gardens and flowers, and kept them in perfect shape during a hot spell. She kept cats’ food area immaculate. Kitties enjoyed their daily visits and we enjoyed getting updates with pictures each day. Thank you, Karissa!”

“Milana is a wonderful pet sitter and dog walker. She has taken care of my family's pets multiple times, and our two dogs and two cats absolutely love her. She really goes above and beyond, caring for them like they're her own. Milana follows care instructions to the letter, is reliable and communicative, and gives every pet attention and snuggles. Highly recommend!”

“I have known Nina for many years, and she has walked my dogs on numerous occasions. She is friendly and helpful and is always very good with my pets. They are always excited to see her. She is responsible and careful. I am always confident that they are in safe hands with her.”

“Sophia took care of my precious Louie for three weeks. He is a reactive dog with special needs. She followed my instructions respectfully. I never have to worry when my baby is in her hands. My dog is difficult to care for and it is a blessing to have someone in my pocket who I can fully trust.!!!”

“I love my fur baby maltipoo Zoey so much and only want the best for her! Ires is a natural when it comes to taking care of Zoey, you can tell she truly and genuinely loves animals and they love her back. My mind is 100% at ease when Zoey is in Ires’ care. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you for all your help! You are a gem!”

“My dog Olaf has been apart of my family for over 8 years. Since he was a pup, Lorena has always had a special bond with him. Every time she comes over for a visit, he lights up. If she spends the night, he only wants cuddles from her. When she visits, he knows he's going for a walk. She makes time to give him loves and cuddles and even for a walk! She's amazing with animals and always has been since she was little. They say animals can sense things about people that we cannot, well most animals that meet Lorena always love her!”

“Nicole was an excellent sitter. She was professional and communicative and took great care of my animals and home. Kitties were relaxed and happy, would definitely recommend”

“Meaghan has grown up around animals. As a young child, she learned to take care of rabbits and guinea pigs and feels comfortable around small animals. She loves cats and has been surrounded by them for many years. She has experience with difficult cats, medicating cats, and dealing with complex dietary needs. She is also good with dogs and makes sure they get sufficient playtime and exercise.”

About: I know how difficult it can be to find the perfect pet sitter. I have had dogs and cats my entire professional career, which means, working 40+ hours a week and being required to travel. I have a lot of experience scrolling through Rover and asking friends and neighbors if anyone could watch the fur babies. Now I am in a position to offer what I know to be a great need in the pet community. I provide only the trust, care, and attention that I expect when inviting someone into my home to care for my beloved fur baby!! I have had pets my whole life. My dogs have been medium to large and I currently have a yellow lab. My cats lived long happy lives (one was 21 years!). All of my pets were acquired as puppies or kittens. While attending college, getting a Master’s Degree in Zoology, I worked as a vet technician. I am experienced giving medications, insulin, and fluids working as a technician and while caring for my own senior pets. I am retired (25 years in law enforcement) and find caring for animals a very fulfilling use of my time. I am available seven days a week, as my schedule permits, and can schedule multiple visits per day. I require a meet and greet before agreeing to any service. Some services may be an additional charge. I am very relaxed with animals and will make them feel at ease while caring for them. Their trust, as well as yours, is paramount in establishing a comfortable relationship that will benefit everyone. I am reliable, trustworthy, punctual, and most of all, enjoy spending quality time with my fur baby and will with yours too! Routine is very important to animals and when part of the pack leaves it is essential that the routine remains as stable as possible. I will listen to you and learn your pet’s routine to help reduce any stress while you are away.

“Angela was awesome! Kept us well informed, sent us such cute pics of our kitties, and felt so confident having her in our home. She went above and beyond when an ant issue occurred while we were gone, so thankful. Ready to book again, now I just need the vacation time from work.”

About: *Testimonials in pictures!* Hi there, I’m Tayler! I’m a HUGE animal lover and have an abundance of hands on experience caring for animals. I worked at a doggy day care for two years as well as at a Veterinary clinic and have even ran a successful doggy daycare out of my house in the past! I have taken several pre-vet courses throughout my years of college and am able to administer all medications. Growing up,I have always had and been surrounded by animals in my house and even through college adopted two large dogs of my own who are my everything and spoiled rotten. I have over 30 referrals/recommendations from previous owners I have sat for and am happy to answer any questions you may have! I have met so many amazing families and have gained the sweetest fur nieces & nephews through dog sitting, it is truly therapeutic. I can promise you with every ounce of my being that your furbabies are in the best hands and will be loved on like they're my own. After a crazy past year of fighting stage 4 cancer, I am blessed to finally be able to get back to doing the things I love. (Spending time with animals is definitely at the top of that list!) While I have always done Rover alongside my full time job (moreso for the doggie lovins rather than income), I currently have a completely open schedule and want to take advantage of the opportunity to make my full time "job" taking care of your fur babies! The safety and happiness of your pets are my top priorities. I will strictly follow your instructions, paying attention to the small details, as no one knows your pets better than you do. It is crucial for me to maintain your fur child's normal everyday routine especially while you are away and there is a new hooman caring for them. I will send you frequent updates and lots of photos so you can see they are safe, well taken care of, and getting plenty of lovins while you are away from home. I can assure you I will be talking to them in a baby voice the entire time, making sure to let them know you will be back soon and how good of a dog (or cat) they are!

“I’ve been friends with Dillon for several years and she is awesome, I don’t think there is a person I would trust more with my dog (maybe even my husband, ha). Dillon’s dog is practically perfect and I think a big portion of that is because of the training Dillon has done with her, I’m a little jealous. She is patient, responsible and has a wealth of dog knowledge to share. She’s sweet, funny and real…you and your doggo would be lucky to have her in your life.”

“Whitney did a phenomenal job taking care of my cat during an extended vacation. She sent photos and updates and I felt more at ease knowing he was in good care. She’s very sweet, reliable & a great communicator. I’d definitely book her again and recommend her services!”
