Madelyn was so patient with my elderly pups! It’s not easy with old dogs and she spent extra time at the house to make sure they were very pampered. Will definitely book again!

About: Growing up in Alaska we always had dogs in our home. It taught us responsibility, care and respect for animals at an early age. I have 30+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs, as both our own pets and others. In our household we have an eleven year old son and a 4 1/2 year old small, mixed breed, super friendly, dog. We will provide a safe, nurturing, playful environment for your furry friend and will treat them as if they are part of our family! We have a fully fenced back yard for them to romp and play. I am home every day until the first week of August so you can count on round the clock care for your pets. I recently reactivated my Rover account and am looking forward to hosting our first clients in our new home! I am currently not working for the summer so am available in my home full time. Once school begins, mid August, I will be available in the afternoons and weekends with limited availability Monday-Thursday. I have a fully fenced yard and a furry friend who loves to play. If quiet space is needed, we have doggy door access from outside to the garage.

About: I’ve owned animals since I was 8, and until 2024 I was taking care of the family pup, who passed at the young age of 16. I’ve pet-sat for friends and lived with other animals throughout my life, so it feels wrong not to be around them. I've cared for several dogs at a time and am familiar with balancing different feeding schedules and administering oral medication. They will get plenty of active time if needed. I work full time with weekends off, 9:30am-6pm. I'm flexible and have no issue working with your schedule as best as I can outside of my work hours! My cat is indoors. I can give daily walks, play time, and post-relaxation is a must of course :) My living situation doesn't allow me to have outside pets inside the home, but I have no issues traveling.

About: I’m Melissa! I do dog walking + drop ins full time! Need someone to stop by while you are at work? message me to chat! My goldendoodle pup Cedar and I would love to get to know your furry best friend(s) and make your life easier! I have experience with diabetic dogs/cats as well as puppies, seniors + special needs dogs! I’m a full time dog walker based out the Palmer area! My business is called Valley Dog Treks. I do pet sitting as well and my pup Cedar and I would love to meet up with you to see if we are a good fit!! Because my boyfriend is a wildland firefighter, I am solely in charge of Cedar so he does have to come along for all my walks and petsitting. He is super friendly and wants to make friends with every dog he meets, I’d love to set up a meet up. I can walk dogs around town or take them for hikes if they need a bit more exercise! If you book me for a pet sitting I will be staying with your pup at your house and will be gone throughout the day doing my dog walks, can stop back in periodically for playtime and potty breaks throughout the day.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so becoming a dog and cat sitter 4 years ago was a given. From senior snoozers to zoomy puppies, from ‘don’t touch me’ cats to ‘please love me immediately’ cats—I’ve handled it all and loved every second. I’m currently part time so I would have plenty of time to check in with your pets. My job is very flexible with breaks so I would still be able to check in halfway through the day. If watching pets in your home, I will ask for a list of expectations (feed times, concerns) so I can do the best job. I will be diligent about updating you, sending photos, and asking questions if they arise.

I am currently available for drop-ins, house sitting, boarding and day care. I work full time Mon-Thurs and am able to do mid day potty breaks. I will do my best to accommodate you and your pets needs. I am a responsible care giver and know how hard it can be to leave your pets and home, and I can assure you they are safe with me.

About: I have a lot of experience taking care of pets such as dogs, cats, rabbits, ect. My full time job is at a pet boarding facility where we specialize in taking care of pets for extended periods of time. I have experience with animals of different needs and accommodations. I am very familiar with giving animals medication such as pills and liquid medication. I even have some experience with giving diabetic dogs insulin. I currently work full time at a pet boarding facility, so I work about 8 hours 5 days a week. If your pet needs more frequent potty breaks, I am able to work around my schedule and can go check on them during my lunch breaks. I am unfortunately not able to watch any pets from my apartment as they do not allow certain animals, however I am more than willing to stay over at the clients home. I am also more than able to stay overnight if that is what their pet needs.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life—dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, snakes, and even spiders! I’ve cared for friends’ and family’s pets, helped my dog deliver and raise a litter of puppies, given meds and snuggles to senior pups, and worked on basic puppy training. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, or special care, I make sure every pet feels loved and safe while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily life! I start every morning by feeding and having playtime for my own pets, and I love adding extra furry friends to the mix. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily fit in potty breaks, meals, walks, and plenty of snuggles. I plan my day around walks, meals, playtime, and snuggles so your pets stay happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’m flexible for drop-ins, overnights, and special care—whether it’s puppy training, giving meds, or just keeping tails wagging and purrs going.

About: I've owned about 8 cats and 5 dogs in my lifetime and my man job has always been to take care of them! I've always loved it. I also volunteer at the Palmer Animal Shelter and I am working towards caring for cats as a volunteer which I am so excited for! I'm currently unemployed, looking for a job that I would genuinely love and I have always really enjoyed housesitting and pet sitting, so I decided to sign up to become a house sitter. I live in an apartment with a maximum of 2 pets so unfortunately I am unable to house other pets, but I would love to take care of others' pets in their own home so they don't need to travel!

About: I’ve been caring for animals in some way my whole life and been dog sitting on the side since 2013. I have 3 dogs and they really enjoy playing with new friends! I share them with a friend so they’re not always with me; please don’t hesitate to ask!💜 I work from home, which gives me flexibility during the days to care for and play with them, plus I can do drop in visits as early or late as needed! I have toys/bones/treats, a doggy door to a fenced yard, garage, 5 gallon water bowl, lots of doggy beds, blankets, couch, and my bed if they would like!

About: I have watched my friends and family’s pups like they’re my own countless times! We always have such a great time. If I’m house sitting, please know that I have my own dog and logistically speaking, I much prefer to have him with me. If boarding your pup, Ricco be with us too, he’s great with other dogs 😊 I work 7.5hrs per day, so care will be before/after work. I like to take my dog everywhere that I can just so he can get out of the house, even if it’s mundane post office runs or whatever. Per manufacturer’s (owner’s) instructions! Try to keep pets apart when feeding. Let out as often as requested (and feasible per my work schedule). Like to let pets play together if they’re friendly to each other.
