Pet care experience

I'll love your pets as much as you!

I have had cats for more than half of my life and dog-sat for around the same amount of time. I used to dog sit two huskies all the time, had a dog of my own for a short time, and have experience dog sitting for labs as well! I have even taken care of a bearded dragon and snake on multiple occasions. Rover does not list animals other than cats and dogs directly but I am happy to arrange care for another animal as well, including exotic animals, for a fee that can be discussed. I am volunteering at the humane society and am very involved in caring for animals as much as I have time for. I am excited and ready to care for any and all pets that need it and will stick to specific details given. I won't hesitate to ask questions about the care of your pets when I have them to make sure your pet gets the utmost care and love while you're away or busy, and id yoy have plants that need watering, say the word and I'll do that too!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I follow every instruction for food, water, walk, and treats and ask questions if I am unsure of something. I tend to stay longer than needed for check in visits just to give pets some company if I have the time. Unless pets are not very social, they will get all kinds of attention, and if they have any anxiety or behavioral differences I will be very careful and act however is best for them. I am very sure to be on time for visits and will be very specific to follow instructions for walking or being taken outside.

Talia was an awesome sitter for my best cat buddies Casper and Nox! She kept in touch about their care and I felt she was very dependable. I will try to hire her again in the future!

Talia was great! Kept us update on concerns while we were away and kept Ellie happy with her company and play times. The only suggestion I would give is to use the check in process just so we know that she got there and in ok.

Talia has done drop-in care for my two dogs and is so good with them! It's reassuring to know they're in excellent hands while I'm gone. Talia is attentive to their needs and communicates responsively. Her love of animals is apparent, and she is a very responsible caregiver!

Talia’s cared for our family’s pets several times, ranging from weekends to more than a week when we were on an out-of-state vacation. We have a cat (Cinder), a bearded dragon (Sonic), and a snake (Fea), so she’s clearly comfortable caring for a variety of pets. Not everyone would care for reptiles, so I’ve appreciated her versatility! Talia did a superb job caring for our pets! From me requesting her help . . . to texting her instructions . . . to connecting during our time away . . . to us returning home, Talia was very communicative the entire time. She even sent us videos of Cinder when we were gone, because she knew that we missed her. Talia came multiple times a day to feed Cinder and stayed for a while to play with her and socialize with her. She cleaned the litter boxes as well, following all the instructions on waste disposal perfectly. She fed Sonic each morning with fresh piles of greens and made sure her water was filled; she made sure Fea’s water was full as well. I was able to leave the house for our trips, having complete confidence that Talia would handle everything beautifully, which she did. It allowed our family to enjoy our time away and not worry about our pets. Talia is considerate, kind, and has a special place in her heart for animals. She has her own cats as well, and her gentle and loving care of animals and connection to them is evident. I’d highly recommend Talia to care for all pets, and plan to continue to use her when we go out of town!

If your pets has specific food instructions or medications, I would need specifics on how to properly care for them so that nothing goes wrong. If your pet has any sort of sickness I would need to know how to take care of it if there is anything out of the ordinary that I'd need to do to make sure your pet is taken care of with no mistakes.
