“An absolutely fantastic first experience with Erin…one of my two “charry” dogs immediately bonded with her and my extremely cautious puppy got past much of her typical “terrified of strangers” feelings within the first 24 hours (which is practically a record for her!). In any case, looking forward to more traveling (without worrying) while Erin watches our babies. Highly recommend!”
“Desirae was so sweet. She did well with my 3 dogs. They loved her and wanted her to play fetch a lot! lol when it was time for us to come home she swept the house due to dog hair which I didn’t expect her to do but she did it and that was so nice of her. Will definitely be rebooking now that I have a dependable dog sitter.”
“Desiree watched our two pups over the weekend at our house and we could not be happier. She was our first experience using Rover and she has set the bar high! Our meet and greet helped to calm my husband and I’s nerves. She is on top of communication with quick responses. Our dogs were loved and we could tell they had a great time with Desiree. Hoping we can have her watch them again in the near future.”
“Melissa was wonderful! She took great care of our little dog in our home. We met her the day before and felt so comfortable leaving her with our spoiled pup. She's very friendly and our little boy really seemed to love her. She sent pictures so we could see he was doing great. Thank you Melissa. We'll be calling on you again. ?❤”
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of animals over the years. Growing up I always had dogs and cats, and rats when I was older. I have pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for extended periods of time. Additionally, I have worked as a kennel attendant at a boarding kennel. There, I got to take care of all kinds of dogs and cats, and have plenty of experience with giving medication and caring for any specific needs. I just graduated college and am not working, so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I have open availability, and work with your specific needs. Since I live in an apartment, I cannot bring any pets home. However, I can stop by multiple times a day for potting, feeding, and playing, or I can stay there if your dog needs more company.
“She truly cares about our pets and provides them the best care while we’re gone! We never have to worry when we’re out of town. She goes above and beyond to accommodate us. We are lucky to have found her!”
“Timothy was awesome with my sweet boy Dozer! He did everything as instructed including medication administration and followed his special diet. We will be booking with Timothy again in the near future. He even sent photos!”
About: I've taken an active part in raising and caring for many different breeds and species of animals since I was young, both for my personal household and others. I have handled, fed, bathed, and trimmed the nails of young puppies up to 8 weeks old and helped to bottle nurse and raise kittens. I have cats in my household that I regularly take care of and experience handling, loving, and taking care of older dogs as well. I currently have a job, but I am available for house-sitting at the moment. I also have some flexibility in my schedule when given enough notice. I am very vigilant and eager to care for and play with any fur-babies, so I can keep a constant eye on them inside and outside of the house. I will also stay near them while they are out to make sure that no harm comes to them.
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets in the past while they’ve been out of town. Taking care of pets is something that I enjoy doing. I currently work full time and am looking for extra work mostly on the weekends but occasionally weekdays. Weekends I’m available at all times and weekdays I’m available mostly in the evenings. Wherever I’m providing care for pets, I make sure that they are in safe environments. Cleanliness is very important. I follow directions that I receive from the owners of the pets that I’m watching and give their pets attention.
