Pet Sitting in Murray

About: Hello everyone! My name is Lisa, I'm a student at Murray State University pursuing a Bachelor of Integrated Studies degree in Human Services. I hope to become a preschool teacher in the near future! I've spent the last two summers caring for animals through Rover, and I can't wait to pick it up again this summer! I began volunteering at an animal shelter a few years ago and found a love for animal care! A few things about me! I've had a variety of animals all my life. I have one Tabby cat, Turbo, who is one year old and lives with me on campus during the school year. He is super energetic and loves to play fetch! My family has one Shih-Tzu, Peanut. Peanut is about 10 years old and can be found sunbathing on the back porch or curled up on the couch. I've had experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, kittens, and adult cats! I am currently a student at MSU who also works on campus! Over the summer I am staying on campus to continue working. My work hours tend to be scheduled in the morning time (8am-12pm) and are scheduled in short shifts. This means that if I am scheduled for morning or afternoon shifts, I will still have time to drop by for a little while. If you have any questions about my availability, feel free to message me! I am unable to offer pet sitting in my own home as unregistered pets are not allowed in the Residential Halls on campus, although we are more than welcome to explore the rest of campus!

“So wonderful with the dogs. Made my morning much easier when I got home late from work knowing they had already been taken care of.”

“Tara is a fantastic sitter! She took great care of our cats while we were out of town for the holidays. She is prompt, communicative, kind, and professional in all her interactions. This was our first time ever using Rover so we were a tad nervous to book, but as soon as we met Tara we knew it was a great fit! We will definitely be booking Tara to watch our cats on our future trips.”

About: I have taken care of many different dogs over the last 4 years. I’ve watched older, young, big, and small dogs and even cats! I would watch my friends dogs and they would pass my name along to their friends I am currently working an 8 to 5. But I have a lunch break and most my evenings are free! I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening times. I live in a first floor apartment with plenty of space for your fur baby to play! I have a cat of my own who would love to meet a new friend!

“I didn’t worry about my cats at all, I knew that they were in very capable hands. Bree was able to get them to come out of hiding and interact with them. She’s wonderful and I highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve had dogs of my own for 26 years, and I have raised one by myself for the last 6 years. I love fur babies and want them to all feel loved. I have a very flexible work schedule and am able to take on jobs pretty much daily. Sometimes I do travel home, but that is not often. I can / will do anything you need from easily crating your dog, to playing with them and providing care to them. Feeding them, playing with them, just giving them company are all things I can do.

About: I’ve worked in a pet facility for 2 years, along with shadowing at Sky View Veterinary Clinic. I’m currently going to school for Pre-Vet and need all the experiences I can get with fur babies!!:) I do currently work part time! I go to college at Murray State, so I will only be available in the summer and winter break!! I have a fenced in backyard, along with 3 other dogs of my own! We have pet doors that allow the dogs to go out whenever they would like and play.

“Savannah is the absolute best! Took such great care of my furbabies!”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs for the past few years!! I have had a dog since I was 7 and have never had issues with walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with your pets!! I have a part time job as a lifeguard, so communication is all I need!! Overnight should never really be an issue and I can always stop in before and after shifts if needed. I would be able to accommodate to your home and adjust to anything your pet may need!! I have taken care of my own dog since a young age and understand the needs.

“Ellison is great! Very quick responses and takes the best care of our pet while we are away. And somehow takes the best photos of our Goldie.”

About: I have my own ESA cat and French Bulldog. I take very well care of my pets and assure you I will take the best care of yours! I love going on walks so adding an animal to that wouldn’t be so bad. I work part time and do this on the side for fun. I keep my space very clean and/or yours and feed and care for the dog or cat per the owners instructions. Every animal owner is different.

“Megan was super helpful to me and my puppy in a last minute bind!! She let her out to potty, took her on a little walk, and even cleaned up an accident that she had!! I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I'm an Licensed Veterinary Technician, and I have been working with animals since I was 18. I've pet-sat for most of the doctors I've worked for, as well as some of the other technicians. I have a high love and respect for all animals and am always there to help out. I am currently a college student, and most of my time is spent at my apartment. I am available weekdays after 2pm and all day on the weekend. In my home I am often very interactive with my animals,and I keep a wide variety of treats and toys for entertainment. My apartment is spacious and has a private backyard. I always keep a neat and orderly home to prevent accidents. At a clients home I am always respectful and courteous, and always do my best to go above and beyond their expectations.

About: While I do not currently own a dog, I have had dogs since I was 4, and been responsible for them since around 12. I know how to read their body language and engage with them in ways that respect their needs and boundaries! I have over 100 hours of vet internships! While it is now lapsed I also had an AVA designation, and it's only lapsed because I've been focused on a degree in wildlife biology at school. Around the age of 16 I took over complete care of my dogs, including my elderly dog. I brought them to their first vet appointments, payed their vet bills, made important decisions regarding surgery and care, and insured their food was good quality. I can give medication and take temperature on both dogs and cats. I have lots of experience In reading body language and know when to step away and when to engage. I also have extensive experience in reptile care! Overall I'm responsible, engaged, and respectful of both my pets and others pets. I take health very seriously and can follow instructions to a T. I am currently attending Murray State University and am looking to bolster my income while enjoying all the perks of caring for animals! It isn't all about the money. I do genuinely adore visiting and connecting to pets and I know the struggle it can be to find someone you trust to leave your pet to! I'm hear to be a trustworthy adult you can rely on. I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your little one alone as a pet owner myself. I have to travel often for boat races as I'm on my schools rowing team, and I don't know what I would do without my closest friends! I'm here for you and your pet, always! Currently I have one pet, my cat bandit. He's my first pet as an adult and I did all the research, adopting processes, and recourse gathering myself! He's fed on a 3 meal cycle throughout the day and his food is based on extensive research into a cats dietary needs and restrictions. I am very strict about his treatment. His boundaries are to always be respected and he's always handled with care! Absolutely no throwing/tossing him, no hitting, no shoving. If he doesn't want to be held he doesn't get held, if he wants space he gets space. He's the king of our castle. Others pets are shown this same level of respect from me. I take feeding guidelines very seriously and understand the importance of play and stimulation In keeping a critter happy and healthy.

About: I lived on a farm as a child where we were responsible for dogs, cats, cows, horses, goats, etc. I currently have a labradoodle who has been with me for 5 years. I enjoy taking care of pets basic needs also with providing exercise for them such as long walks, runs or games of ball or frisbee. I work full time but am available until 7:30 AM, lunch time and evenings after 5:30. While I do have a busy schedule between work, church, and grandkids, I am a perfect solution for someone who needs a house sitter and can feed, water and exercise pets daily along with giving them attention. I am available to stay with your dog in the comfort of their own home. This seems to work especially well for pets with anxiety. I am physically able to help your pets get the exercise they need through walks and play time outside. I have a relaxed and quite demeanor and enjoy the companionship offered by pets.

About: Hello! It's so great to meet you! I'm so glad you're considering Pawesome Pet Care for your furry family members. With 18 years of experience in pet care, I've had the pleasure of loving all sorts of animals, from tiny kittens to great danes, and even feathered and scaled friends! My home is a busy, loving place thanks to my own four dogs and two cats, so I truly get how special and unique every pet is. I'm all about creating a safe, fun, and comfortable environment where your pet feels right at home. Let's chat about how I can give your beloved companion the best possible care! Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine. I have had animals my entire life so feeding, walking, playing with, and loving my animals has always been a constant for me. Doing pet sitting is no adjustment for me because it's been my entire life. I love caring for animals. I cannot care for animals in my home because my Great Dane gets very stressed out when new animals come to the house. That being said, I have a great support system to take care of my babies while I take care of yours. So, I am more than happy to come to your home and keep your babies in a space they feel comfortable. I will keep them on the same routine they are used to so that the transition is as seamless as possible. Being sure to throw in some extra love and understanding along the way.
