Pet Sitting in Palisade

About: As a career animal welfare professional, I'm ready to bring my decades of experience in animal care, veterinary care and animal handling to you and your home to ensure you have total peace of mind and your pets are cared for and safe while you're away. My entire professional career has been in the animal welfare field. I've worked as a cruelty investigator in both major metropolitan as well as rural agricultural regions. I've worked on farm animal sanctuaries as well as in city shelters. I'm still very involved in animal rescue through disaster response as well as large scale animal cruelty case deployments. Currently, I work for/co-founded an organization which provides low-cost veterinary care services to underserved areas in the region. As someone who utilizes Rover heavily for pet sitting services while traveling for work, I know just how important it is to have a service like this available as well as what a trusting, reliable sitter can do for peace of mind while out of town and away from you pets. I currently work from home (when not traveling for work) which allows me to devote full days to pet care while sitting nearby in my home office. I have a large, fully fenced yard. Your dogs will be able to spend as much, or as little, time outside as they desire. I have two resident dogs who are very welcoming of all four-legged (and two-legged) visitors and will be more than happy to share all their favorite toys and most comfortable spots on the couch.

“Shelby took great care of our cat who needs some extra attention, including daily medication and has a bit of separation anxiety. We appreciated the photos she sent and comments about how he was doing while we were away. We highly recommend Shelby and look forward to booking her again in the future.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals because they make me happy! What else makes me happy is helping other people out to take care of there fur babies :) I have experience of watching dogs and cats. I am very active and love spending time with animals I work full time! From 7:30 am to 5pm I am free in the evenings and weekends! On Mondays I work half days. I get done at 12pm It is me and my corgi and my apartment. I do have a patio it is unfenced. My corgi is a runner. I take him on walks, dog park or my parents back yard

“Angels was great with Coco, our dog and Reese’s and Dancer, our cats. Coco is anxious with new people, and Angela won her over. It was great using Rover and now we know that we can plan trips without worrying about who will watch our pets. Thank you Angela and River!”

“Catherine was excellent! We love her and so does Kitty. We told Catherine she'd likely never see Kitty when she did her drop in visits for feeding, but Kitty greeted her every day, a sign that Kitty really liked her! Thanks again for everything.”

About: Hello! I have owned animals my entire life, and I absolutely adore them! I love animals, and spend as much time with them as possible! About this sitter: I have watched pets for coworkers and friends for as long as I can remember. I am reliable, experienced, and passionate. I will love your animals as if they were my own! I have owned dogs, birds, fish, horses, and more! Why I love dog sitting I've been around dogs my entire life, and I adore them! Big, small, they are all adorable. Animals are extremely therapeutic, and they are such good friends. My experience administering medication Not comfortable I work full time so I can care for pets outside of my regular work schedule. I work during the week from 8-5, with weekends off. I care for pets with the love and kindness they deserve. I will always respect your space and your belongings. I have a calm demeanor that animals respond well to.

About: I’ve grown up with multiple pets (dogs, cats, fish) since I was a kid. As an adult, I’ve lived with various pets and regularly pet sit for friends and family. I currently nanny part-time during the weem, so my schedule is flexible. This provides the ability to do multiple pet check-ins throughout the day and overnight stays if requested. My preference is to take care of your pets at your home, as this environment is familiar and safe for your pets. If that is not an option, I am more than happy to board your pets at my home.

“Whitney is great - reliable, timely, and most of all my pooches were well cared for. She didn't hesitate to get to know them and was super patient and very hands-on! 10/10 would recommend!! Thanks, Whit!”

“Emily was great- reliable and a good communicator.”

Amy D.

“Jordan was absolutely incredible with our babies and they loved her as well! She sent multiple photos and updates with every visit and we felt very safe leaving our home and them in her hands. She was wonderful and patient with our dog, who can be quite anxious, and even dedicated additional time before our trip to make sure that he was comfortable with her. We would absolutely recommend her and thank you again for everything!”

Theodore D.

“Melanie is amazing!! She is so caring and attentive. All my girls loved her including my very shy kitty. I can't recommend her enough! Looking forward to using her services again. If you're needing a sitter, look no further because you have found one of the best!! Thank you, Melanie. You are so appreciated!!”

Brittnee R.

“We greatly appreciated Robin's attentive care of our two cats, one of which can be quite a handful. She made sure both of them got the love and attention they needed, for a first-time and fairly last minute booking. We could not be more grateful for her flexibility!”

About: I am experienced with raising big and small puppies from birth, and training. I am relied upon to take care of pets for friends and family. I currently am working part time and have lots of flexibility in my schedule to fit your pets needs. I can also work around any schedule. My home is fully security fenced. My 2 dogs are social and crate trained. I require meet ups before taking on a dog to make sure it's a great fit.

“Lacie was everything I was looking for! Communicative, caring, and responsible with my active kitten. I will hire her again for future trips :)”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I most recently had two dogs, a chihuahua and rotty mix. One big and one small dog! I currently live in a tiny apartment, so I try to find ways to get my dog fix in. I regularly volunteer to walk dogs at local shelters here in Grand Junction. I have experience with small and large dogs of all age ranges. I’m punctual with my schedules and can be relied on to make timely visits or give medications/food. I’m also comfortable house sitting your home and keeping up on all your chores/needs while you are away! I work seasonally for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, so in my off season I have lots of extra time to take care of pups I have a gentle demeanor when meeting/walking new to me dogs. I can adjust my care to suit whatever needs your dog may have
