Pet Sitting Meredith

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. In addition to caring for pets through Rover, I previously volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained experience working with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I learned the importance of patience, building trust, and making sure each animal felt safe and comfortable. I've also cared for goats and chickens through family friends and am happy to help with feeding, fresh water, collecting eggs, and making sure they're well cared for. Whether I'm playing fetch with an energetic dog, taking long walks, spending quiet time with a senior pet, or caring for farm animals, I enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and home is a big decision. I'll treat them with the same love and attention I would my own, while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. As long as I have a reliable Wi-Fi connection, I can work from almost anywhere, meaning your pets won't be left alone for long periods. I do occasionally have virtual meetings during the workday, but they're typically brief, allowing me to quickly get back to giving your pets the attention, walks, playtime, and companionship they deserve. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat them and their space with the same respect and attention I would my own. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you are away. I always take time to give them affection, keep them active, and make sure they are happy and relaxed. I also keep things tidy and make sure your home is just as you left it. Communication is very important to me, so I send updates and photos during each visit so you can feel confident that your pet is well cared for.

“Lilly is such a wonderful caregiver for our dog Bailey and I’m so thankful for her! Bailey needs multiple oral medications to control seizures, and requires them to be given in a certain way at a specific time. Lilly has been great about giving Bailey these medications as directed. I feel completely confident in Lilly’s ability to care for Bailey’s special needs. Lilly is very patient and kind, and it’s clear that Bailey really enjoys it when Lilly takes care of her!! Thank you Lilly!!”

“Was able to do two daily check ins with Luna on one day notice for 10 days due to family emergency. Second time using Kim as a sitter. She’s the best. We trust her with Luna and Luna loves her!”

About: I was a dog mom for 17 yrs. I had two dogs, Kiya and Elvis, who were the best friends a girl could ever ask for. Sadly, they are both gone now. I have watched dogs for friends and family and I volunteer at my local animal shelter. I find so much joy in it. I'm semi-retired now so I have found I have a lot more time to do both now. I would love to care for your dogs. I never met a dog I don't like. I know it can take time for some dogs to trust and I accept that, especially with the shelter dogs. I always miss the dogs I've watched and the dogs who get adopted. From the time I was a small child, I have been drawn to animals. I'm semi-retired now so I'm frequently available to care for your dogs. It can be a potty break on a long work day, a weekend get away or a vacation. I've watched dogs as small as a 3 lb chihuahua to a 75 lb lab. I easily adapt to whatever routine and care your dogs are used to. I have an agreement with myself that I don't leave your dogs unless I absolutely have to. I've watched dogs in Florida and Colorado where I was encouraged to venture out and enjoy myself but I preferred to do that with their dogs or not at all. I will treat them with the utmost care, after all they are like your children. I'm happy to have them sleep with me if that's what they feel best with. My dogs slept with me every night. I respect if people crate their dogs as well.

“Jane took great care of our furr-babies. She sent some pictures, were sure they were exercised/played with and cleaned up an “accident”. Your pets are in good hands with Jane!”

“As anxious dog parents we had a great experience working with Leah. She was very communicative and worked well with our pups which helped a lot with our anxiety while away (5 total visits). Would definitely book again!”

Alyssa B.

“Jeremy was incredibly kind, communicative, and helpful with my senior dog. He made sure Skylar was dressed for the snowy weather, had her proper exercise, fed her meal, and was safe and comfy— and back in her bed and crate before he left the apartment. He even helped take out the trash in my apartment so my dog wouldn’t try to get into it when I’m not home (as you know some puppies like to rebel haha!). I would highly recommend Jeremy to look after your little loved ones—he was exactly on time and an incredibly caring with my doggo.”

About: I’m an all animal lover, I have several pets including two young dogs that I adopted. We love to go for walks, play at the park or hang around the house and play with toys. We would love to spend time with other dogs or any pet you may have. I am available evenings and or nights and some afternoons. I work the evening shift as a nurse and know how hard it can be to find some one you can trust with your babies, especially on the off times. I can provide safe play and walks with or without my dogs, experienced with ferals, ages from young to old and of course lots of love and healthy snacks.also experienced with caged animals and bearded dragons!

“Katie was a joy to work with. From the first time she met with Lucy for an introduction before taking on the job through the daily updates while we were away, she made every effort to make us feel comfortable leaving our little one in her trusted care. She is kind and generous and we would gladly use her services in the future. Lucy our pup clearly enjoyed her company. Thanks Katie!”

About: I have owned dogs and cats all through growing up. I love walking but get bored alone, can't have a furry friend of my own to walk so im living vicariously through your fur babies! I walk as much as I can but it's boring... I love animals, I have even trained my cat to walk on leash outside, but she doesn't have distance in her. I want to enjoy a walk, make it an adventure. I work Tuesday and Friday though Friday afternoons may work. And I am unavailable between 12-3pm most days. I offer long or short walks, locally or at a destination of choice, depending on size/breed/weather. Car rides to parks for socializing if that's what is requested. I cannot overnight any dog as it's against lease, cats may be negotiable.

About: I have spent lots of time with a family dog and have been a sitter for several breeds over the years, often through friends and family. I am always over the moon to meet and spoil (to the owners comfort) a new furry freind! I am currently a graduate student which allows me the flexibility to schedule quality walks and play time with your pups! I typically work from home 50% of the work week, so getting out for a walk in between computational work is a win win! As a dog walker I will make sure your pup has a positive high quality walking experience. If I am sitting, I will ensure all fur babies get the level attention and care they need to feel safe and happy.

“Alexandra was great! She took excellent care of our four cats on short notice. Lots of cute photos of all the critters, and she took the time to give each of them attention. We were lucky to find her!”

About: I am a small business owner with previous experience working as a veterinary technician in emergency veterinary medicine. I have owned animals my entire life and have two cats of my own (both of which were rescues). I am compassionate, patient, and friendly. I adore meeting and taking care of your babies! I own a small craft business on the side so I may be unavailable some weekends but am flexible with availability! Pet care is passion of mine! I will take the time to introduce myself to your fur baby and make sure they are comfortable with me! We will make sure we go on walks or have plenty of time to play! I will love your babies like they are my own! They aren’t just pets, they are family.

“The absolute best pet sitters in the Lakes Region! Our two dogs were well cared for on our well long vacation!”

Jess V.

“Hailey looked in on our 2 cats every day while we were on vacation, and I could tell they were well cared for when we came back. She was very responsive and provided photos every day. When our flight home got cancelled, she even came an extra day which relieved some of the travel stress! Definitely recommend, and I would book her again for cat care. Thanks Hailey!”
