Pet Sitting Okolona

“Allison was wonderful. She took great care of my 6 cats, made sure they had plenty of food & water, and gave lots of love to the only 1 who wasn’t shy around strangers. Will definitely use her again and would highly recommend!”

“Melody did drop in visits for our Golden & Labernese while we were away. Being out of town and having someone else take care of your dogs can be so nerve wracking but Melody put us at ease & the boys were well taken care of. We would recommend Melody & will be requesting her for our future needs. Thank you again!!”

“Julie does a fantastic job with Dolly. Greatly appreciated her coming over on short notice. Dolly seems very comfortable with Julie and that's a huge plus.”

About: I have been in the pet-sitting scene for 3 years now! Started with friends and family, then branched out from there! I've learned how to care for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and my favorite type of pet: rodents (Guinea Pigs are the Best!). Taken care of older pets that need medications and careful care, as well as young and energetic pets that need some more playtime and enrichment! I believe one of the most important skills to have to be a great pet sitter is proper and clear communication with the owners. I communicate how often an owner would want! I would communicate with videos and pictures of your pet's adventures, or communicate any concerns if any arise. I want to make sure that while you're away, you can rest easy knowing your pet is safe and happy! :) I do work part-time as of right now, typically working 15-25 hours a week. I mostly work morning shifts from 10:30-5:00, but usually leave an hour early. If you need me to stay most of the day, please let me know at least a month in advance; I would happily take off work! There are a few things I would like to know about your furry little friend: 1. How often do they need to go out? 2. How much enrichment do they need? 3. Do they take any medication? 4. Do they have any triggers I should be concerned about? 5. Do they have a good understanding of commands? (It's ok if not :3) 6. How long can they be left alone? Please inform me of anything I need to know. I want to make sure your baby/babies are taken care of! I can't wait to meet some new friends! I'm currently working a part-time job typically working 15-25 hours a week. I usually work morning shifts ranging from 10:30-5 or 11:00-5:00, but sometimes get off an hour early depending on the day. If I need to stay for the majority of the job, please let me know at least a month in advance; I will gladly ask off! I will inform you of my schedule when we talk! :) I ensure I’m properly informed of your pets making sure I know their personality, if they have medication, habits, etc. I make sure they have plenty of enrichment through the day and I love to update my clients of their pets well-being by sending pictures, videos, and more!

“Prompt, awesome communication, great job, will book again!”

“Kaitlyn was amazing! She came over and met our pup beforehand and he got to know her. We did 3 drop in visits and it worked out perfectly for our weekend getaway. Communication was excellent - she updated us with pictures and really made us feel that our pup was safe and secure. Can’t wait to book her for our next getaway! Thank you again!”

About: I've always loved dogs! As a dog-owner myself, I know the stress of leaving a pet at home, both during the workday and when on vacation, but also what it's like to have the peace of mind that comes with a trustworthy pet sitter. I love giving pet parents that security of knowing their baby is happy and safe while they're away. I have cared for dogs ranging from the puppy stage to senior years. I have experience providing medical care to dogs ranging from post-surgical care such as monitoring for adverse reactions to anesthesia, to facilitating recovery from ACL repair surgery by providing heat/ice to the affected leg and following surgeon's orders for increasing walk length on a variety of terrains to help the dog regain muscle strength. Most recently, I have cared for a senior dog who was partially deaf and had arthritis. That experience taught me to intentionally stay in his eyesight, and to tailor the pace and length of walks and playtime to meet his gait and energy level. My full-time work allows me to be available on a variety of weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Depending on the day, I am either very flexible and can come whenever your pup needs me, or am more limited with evening-only availability. So just ask! I only walk dogs in an escape-proof device such as a Martindale or chain ("choke") collar. I will not walk a dog in a flat collar or harness, even if the device is advertised as 'escape proof' or the dog does not have a history of escaping. This is for my peace of mind as well as yours, and for the safety of your fur baby. In addition, when I am walking your dogs, they are my first priority. I am not on my phone so I can pay attention to my surroundings and the dogs in order to maximize safety for both of us. Finally, to make my time with your fur baby as positive as possible, I require a meet and greet with you and your pet before coming to care for them by myself.

“Kristen is always very professional and reliable. I have a 110 pound male pup who is unsure of most people when he first meets them. She knew just how to respond to him and now he loves her! My other pup is a fence jumper and she always makes sure she is on her cable. Kristen is quick to respond and always sends pictures and uses Rover Cards. She is extremely polite.”

“Emily is great. Super nice, flexible, attentive to our dog, took lots of notes, and asked lots of great questions to ensure their time together went smoothly. She even thought to look ahead to the weather and ask about rain protocol for walking the dog. We’ll definitely book again!”

About: I have 3 golden retrievers and rescued 2 cats. I've spent the last 6 years caring for my own animals and helping friends, family, and neighbors with theirs. I've learned how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pet. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, and giving the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and loved while in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to be flexible and at home majority of the time. I schedule my days to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, playtime, and companionship. We are household full of animals, always. When pets stay in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special care instructions. For dogs we have a fenced in backyard with space to run around. A crate must be provided for overnight stays for dogs. For cats, they can roam freely. I have clean litter boxes, and opportunities for play and enrichment.

“Joanna had been so nice and loving to our kitties when we were away. She paid attention to every detail and took great care. She spent good time playing with my cats, petting them and giving them lots of love and attention. I was able to put my mind at peace, trusting Joanna with my fur babies. Totally recommend her. ❤️”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for well over 4 years and have had the pleasure of watching some of the sweetest pups. I’ve dealt with dogs on a schedule, some who require medication and those who just need some extra snuggles. I will take the time to learn the care your pet deserves. I work a full time job during the weeks but will ensure all pets are taken out before I leave and return as soon as possible to allow them to be taken out again, I spend my afternoons with the dogs and try to provide enrichment play so they don’t get bored. I’m available all day on weekends so the same things goes. I normally stay with at a clients home to ensure dogs have minimal stress dealing with new environments. I follow any schedule my client has given me, from early morning walks at a dog park or allowing them to roam their fenced in yard while I prepare any food or water that is left while I’m away. I enjoy playing with them in the afternoons and getting them tired and rewarding them with treats when necessary.

About: I love the dog , They are very affectionate and family-oriented; I look after them with a lot of love, even though I don’t have any of my own at home. My daily routine is well-suited for pet care, as my job has a flexible schedule. And when I look after pets, my time is devoted entirely to them. I keep my pets inside the house and take them out to the garden to relieve themselves and play for a while; I also walk them around the neighborhood, and they have their own designated spaces inside the house where they can move about freely.

About: What truly sets me apart is my nine years of comprehensive, hands-on experience caring for my family's pets, consistently since 2016. My reliable background is further proven by my time dog sitting and walking for several friends, demonstrating comfort and expertise with pets outside my own home. I'm proficient in managing both large and small breeds, having cared for a Pitbull and a Yorkie, giving me confidence with all energy and handling needs. My experience also extends to cats. I rescued a cat that I found on the street, which highlights my patience and skill in providing gentle care for nervous or shy animals. I am reliable, versatile, and deeply committed to recognizing and meeting the individual needs of both dogs and cats. Pet care fits easily into my current schedule, ensuring your pets receive focused attention without being rushed. I work part-time as a Paraoptometric Technician and dedicate other free time to volunteering, but I intentionally keep large, consistent blocks open for pet care. My reliable availability includes Tuesday afternoons, Thursday mornings and afternoons, and full availability on weekends. This structure guarantees I can provide reliable, high-quality care, whether your pet needs a mid-day walk, or regular drop-in visits. My main goal is to create a stress-free and loving experience for your pet right in their familiar environment. When I care for your dog or cat, I focus entirely on their comfort and routine. I'm meticulous about following your exact instructions for feeding, medication, and walks, making sure their schedule feels perfectly normal. I also know that security is important, so you can trust me to be mindful of your home while I provide care. I'm skilled at providing gentle companionship—like I do for my own rescue cat—which is especially helpful for nervous or shy pets. You can count on me for excellent care, a tidy pet area, and frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how happy they are!

“Very good with my dogs. She completed visits at my home for my dogs x 6 days. Home was secure and everything in place when I arrived home. Dogs were happy to see me but told me they liked her! :)”

About: As a pet mom who's been using Rover since 2020, I've met all kinds of pet sitters and learned about their different pet care styles. Being on the other side of things, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets with unfamiliar people. I want to help other pet families feel comfortable knowing their babies are in good hands! I grew up with dogs for most of my life and currently have a dog named Ivan and a cat of my own named Francis. I've always been a huge animal lover and a major empath, especially when it comes to animals. I'm even vegan, if that tells you anything! If I had it my way, I'd probably have a house full of animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines. I genuinely love getting to know animals and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I promise to treat your babies with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own! I'm currently a college student with a pretty short work schedule from 2:45 PM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Thursday. I'm a major homebody who enjoys watching movies, playing board games, and reading books, so I spend most of my time at home. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day without having to worry about them being alone for long periods of time. I'm a very routine based pet owner. I follow consistent feeding times, wash my pets' bowls twice a day, and make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I'm more than happy to follow whatever routine your pets are used to! As someone who has used Rover for years, I personally love receiving lots of pictures and updates of what my dog, Ivan, is doing during his stay. I know how reassuring it is to see that your pets are happy, comfortable, and being well taken care of. I also understand how important it is to keep a safe environment, whether that's making sure food is put away, keeping things out of reach, or simply paying attention to what your pets are getting into. I promise to respect your home, follow your instructions, and care for your babies as if they were my own!

“Kaelyn is very sweet and takes good care of my pup on my long days @ work and school!”

About: I have pet sat on and off for years with family, staying over and learning specific routines of each animal. Each animals expects different things! I'm also highly active and flexible so if you have an energetic furry friend, we'd get along great! I am part-time employed and a online college student. My availability will be extremely flexible due to that! My times will vary across every two weeks when I receive my work schedule. Pets in my clients home will be treated exactly as they are used to, if that means walks on a leash or letting them out to roam their fenced yard then that's exactly what we will do. My goal is to keep your loved ones comfortable and that means following their routines, not mine.
