Pet Sitting Oakmore

About: I have experience with cats who are particularly anxious, I am able to provide much more than just feeding and regular care tasks. I have experience with emotional regulation for anxious cats and dogs , and I’m able to provide extra attention through extended stays, diverse kinds of play, and overnight care. I also have prior experience with elderly dogs who need special accommodation. I work only 2 days a week, and have a very open flexible schedule at the moment. I can provide a wide range of services, my most notable experience is working with anxious pets who need extra attention and love! For dogs, I prefer to take dogs on multiple walks (ideally 3 walks per day) to encourage lots of activity, I can encourage socializing if needed. For cats, I love to drop in and play, give affection or just coexist as needed!

“Adam was a great pet sitter for our cat, Smokey. We will definitely try to use him for future trips. He clearly loves pets and he is an excellent communicator and we love the pictures that he sent”

“Zsa Zsa is a wonderful sitter! She is easy to communicate with, took great care of my cat, and shared lots of cute, funny, and informative updates about how he was doing and their adventures each day. I can tell she genuinely cares about my pet, and he loves her too! It definitely gave me peace of mind to know he was in good hands while I was away, and I’m looking forward to future pet-sits!”

“Presley and Freya loved having Melissa take care of them! I arrived home from my trip yesterday with two pretty relaxed kitties, and a slew of new photos to add to my collection 😁 She was a great communicator, and left everything just as she found it.”

Sarah L.

“Cara was so caring, responsive, and also very responsible. I was initially worried about leaving my cat for two weeks but I left him in very good hands with Cara. I especially appreciated all the photos she sent and the little daily updates! My cat loved her. I was able to relax knowing that I had a very sweet and reliable sitter.”

“Vania was so sweet with our 8 mo old puppies! We felt at ease during our travels. She took them on long walks and even gave them a bath since the days were quite warm. Thank you again Vania!”

“Elyse is so on top of things. She asked me questions and did a great job of what I’m asking for. I would like to have her back to take care my cat next time.”

About: I am a dog lover and lived with dogs my whole life. I have taken care of dogs on and off for the past 8 years including boarding, house-stays, and walks. I currently have pretty flexible schedule and can make my hours fit for you - if there is a time conflict I will make sure to inform you and propose another time (if applicable). I cannot currently board dogs in my home (my dog is going through cancer treatment), but I am happy to do house-stays or walks. I ensure pets have their boundaries respected and I will ask plenty of questions to understand your pet’s personality and potential reactivity.

“Cassandra is fantastic and our boys love her!”

Matthew & Van Joseph I.

“Emma was amazing from booking to drop in! She took tons of photos and left great notes. She clearly loves animals and treated me dogs like her own. I trust her with my home and would use her again!”

Tessa J.

“Erin was amazing with our generally shy cat. He took to her immediately upon meeting her during our intro session! She provided daily updates while we were away, and he looked very happy in the pictures, and was happy and healthy upon our return. I will definitely try to book her again next time we need a sitter!”

Lauren M.

“Lauren is awesome! She was available to meet last minute as I had some weekend plans that I needed doggy care for. She’s very kind and detailed and I van tell Noodles feels really comfortable around her gentle nature!”

Maya E.

“Jessica did a great job taking care of our dog, Eddie. We appreciated that she gave us regular text updates with photos, and always replied quickly to any communications. :)”

About: My husband & I are semi-retirees who have been raised with pets our entire lives. We specialized in smaller breeds (20 lbs & under) with separation anxiety & definitely have a soft spot for doodles as well.😅 We are proud to say that we’re experienced, loving and extremely responsible animal lovers who believe pets are our kids……so much so that our vets said we are one of the best pet owners they’ve encountered and love to be our “kids” in their next lives.🤣 We are not the type of sitters who host excessive number of dogs at once. As a matter of fact, we intentionally keep our guest list small so we may focus constant supervision and individualized love to each little ones coming across our hands. We focus heavily on safety, trust, love & positive energy over anything else. As loving pet parents, we understand it’s a huge decision when you have to leave your fur babies in strangers' hands. Rest assured we hold up to our words, we’ll love and care for them just like our own! Our goal is to always put ourselves in your shoes and their paws😆 and provide the best-pampered care for your babies and peace of mind while you’re away. Your little ones will NEVER be left alone & treated like a number. Their safety and comfort are our TOP priorities when staying with us. We promise! Since we're home all day, we’re generally flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. We firmly believe that communication and mutual respect are the foundation of any great relationships. There are many sitters on Rover, and we encourage you to shop around for the best fit. However, please only contact us if you are serious and ready to move forward with a formal meet-and-greet. To keep our schedule open for committed clients, non-responsive owners (no reply within 2 hours of initial contact) will be archived and blocked from future bookings. Thank you so much for understanding. Please note that we limit drop-off and pick-up to a 30-minute window. Daycare is capped at 9 hours, If you need a longer time frame, please use overnight boarding option. (you're still able to pick up your pup on the same day, of course). Hourly care is also available at $25/hour (2 hour minimum). We’re usually flexible with schedules as long as clear communication is maintained! 😃 On a typical day, we enjoy countless cuddles and safe play in our super secure yard. Unlike some daycares that leave dogs out in the hot sun all day, we spend most of our time inside a cool, matted play space. We also enjoy visiting local parks when time permits. For safety precaution, we NEVER visit any public off-leash dog parks. Therefore, we might not be the best fit for your pup if they’re accustomed to off-leash outings or long walks. There is always someone home 24/7. Our yard is securely fenced, with ample lawn and play area. There are plenty of outdoor opportunities with IN PERSON supervised playtime at ALL TIMES to keep your little ones safe, active & happy. The interior is padded with floor mats for safe playing, slip & fall prevention (great for senior pups). We also have a separate ground floor guest quarter that’s perfect for cats, rabbits and caged babies who do not wish to interact with dogs as we do have the sweetest senior Shih Tzu rescue, Augustina🐶. She likes all new friends but minds her own business most of the time. Given that said, your babies must be human friendly.😅
