Pet Sitting in Pittsville

About: I myself have two cats, a dog, and a snake, and I understand how emotionally nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pets in someone else's care. This is why I always go above and beyond in treating others' pets with the love and respect as if they were my own. I have been pet and house-sitting for several years now and have experience handling medication administration, mobility-assistants, and other medical needs. I am a local elementary school librarian, so I often have several hours available most week days after 4pm, as well as nearly the entirety of the weekends, to spend with your fur baby! I always try my best to stick to your pet's normal, everyday routine as to not cause any disruption or distress. I understand that new people can be overwhelming, especially for pets with anxious tendencies, so I try find a way for the pets to meet me beforehand with their "parent" present for reassurance. As for my style, I love going on walks and being active, but I'm also 100% down for a snuggle session inside!

“Excellent communication, Emily did an amazing job looking after my senior cat while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing sitter.”

“Amanda did an excellent job caring for my pup! She sent updated photos and Rover cards with each drop-in visit. I will definitely call upon her services again! Thanks, Amanda!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has continued into my adulthood. The best decision I’ve ever made was adopting my dog, Finn, while living in New Orleans for work. He has helped my love and compassion for dogs grow exponentially. My experience in dog care comes from having my own dog and caring for the animals of family, friends and volunteering some over the years. I have experience with the puppy stage through senior dogs. I am an RN so I 4 days a week off, often in a row, and will be happy to take care of your dog during those days. I have my dog, Finn, that I care for on a daily basis and I’m sure your dog will fit right in. I currently have an unfenced yard so the dog park is our favorite place for activity! I am able to crate your dog if needed.

About: My entire life I have been raised with lots of animals and was always so excited to play with the pups. I have always had a thought about wanting to become a dog trainer and when I bought my first dog that was my own it showed me that I really am interested in an animal focused career! I currently do not work, so I fortunately have all the free time to spend time and play with these sweet and amazing fur babies! I will always follow the clients wishes and preferred schedule. I know how scary it can be leaving your animal with someone else and not being able to be there:(

About: I’ve owned, trained, showed, and bred animals since the 80s and a couple years ago I did additional schooling for dog training and currently use LIMA methods for dogs. I have several animals of my own with special needs and understand how important it is to keep a schedule. I have 12 ducks, ~40 chickens, 6 cats and 4 dogs. I’m up at the crack of dawn caring for my animals, so most of my days are very open to caring for your babies. I have had many careers, but this is the most rewarding and I’ve done it all my life. As a professional pet trainer and artist sometimes I will set aside time for dog shows, but I am available most anytime. Let me know what your baby requires and I’ll see to keeping your pet happy and healthy while you’re away. My pets are all friendly and well cared for and should I add in home boarding, I have extra crates and rooms for those pets who need quiet time.

“Such a great experience! Excellent communication and so nice. Would book again. Dogs seemed so happy.”

About: I've taken care of my dog Tootsie for 16 years now and I've also dog sat for friends and neighbors for 7 years. I have experience taking care of high energy pets but also slow-paced pets. Additionally, I have experience with senior and special needs pets. I can administer intravenous fluids and other meds. I adore all pets: cats, dogs, and small animals. I am a graduate student at UWSP looking for a side hustle for the summer. I have wide open availability and am flexible with bookings and cancellations. At my home, I cordon off my kitchen for my dog when I leave but I also can put dogs in crates if need be. When I've pet sat in the past, I've always double checked to be sure I've locked doors and left the home as I found it.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up in a home full of pets and have always been surrounded by animals, which taught me early on how to care for them with love, patience, and responsibility. I have two cats of my own and have cared for many others through house-sitting and check-ins during college. I know how important it is to respect each cat’s unique personality and routine — whether they’re social, shy, or need special care. I also spent years walking, house-sitting, and nannying dogs throughout college, treating every pet like they were part of my own family. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler touch, I’m confident in providing personalized, loving care. I’m reliable, communicative, and truly enjoy connecting with animals. Whether you're leaving for a trip or just need daily help, you can count on me to care for your furry family like they’re my own! I work part-time, so I have plenty of free time during the day and some evenings to spend with pets. On my weekends off, I love nothing more than hanging out with furry friends, it’s the highlight of my week and a fun way to fill my time! When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their usual routine so they feel safe and happy while you're away. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or let dogs out as needed, and give them plenty of love and attention. I also take dogs on walks to make sure they get exercise and enrichment. I treat every pet like my own and every home with respect, reliable, caring, and always focused on keeping your pets comfortable and stress-free.

About: I have been working with animals since I was young. I currently have 7 dogs. I groom and work with many breeds. I am trusted with dogs and cats everyday for grooming now I would love to add in walking and pet sitting. I currently work part time which leaves me the flexibility in the afternoon and evenings to walk and care for other pets. I am also available for pet sitting on most weekends and after 2 pm the week days! I have dog friendly pups that come with me to keep other pups entertained while in your home. They can be kenneled as well if needed.

About: What makes me stand out as a pet sitter is the combination of experience, genuine love for animals, and specialized care skills. I have several years of hands on experience with a wide variety of pets from dogs and cats to birds and small animals and I treat each one like family I have cared for senior animals, pets with anxiety, and those requiring medication or special diets. I provide regular photo updates and check-ins, so you’re always in the loop and worry free. I aim to build a bond with every pet I care for, making sure they feel loved, secure, and happy while you're away. I am currently working a part time job that relies on the weather & don’t really have a set schedule with that I am available most the time I currently have a Siberian husky that is 9 years old very calm also have a kitten. I can always bring your furry friend to the dog park if that is something you’d like. Whether in my home or yours, my goal is always the same to give your pet the loving care they deserve and give you peace of mind while you're away.

“So grateful to have found Nikki!!! Very compassionate and knowledgeable! Provided excellent care to our pups, we couldn’t be more pleased!”

About: I have been raised with dogs my entire life. I have cared for my own dogs, as well as friend and family's dogs. Growing up we had many dogs in our home, small to large, puppies to elderly, and have cared for them. I also have 4 dogs of my own and we have had 3 litters of AKC purebred puppies. I am most available for boarding as I do work during the week but we are happy to have dogs come and have someone to let them out frequently during the day until I get home. We do have lots of baseball games for our 3 boys so will need to pop in and out at times. Otherwise I am available for boarding most days of the week, unless out of town for activities for our 3 boys. I have a fenced yard and 4 friendly and active dogs: 3 German Shorthaired Pointers (ages 6.5, 5, and 1) and a Corgi (age 2). We also have an elderly cat in the home. Our boys are ages 12, 9 and 6.

About: I have had pets in my household for as long as I could remember. Growing up we had cats, dogs, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and hermit crabs. In high school, I watched family and neighbors pets while they were away. In college, I got a job at a humane society. Here, I learned how to care for sick animals, administer medications, give vaccinations, treat fleas, remove ticks, take care of puppies and seniors, and much more to make sure all the animals were healthy. Also, I learned how to deal with aggressive and behavioral dogs/cats. Now, I have 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own. Most of them were rescues. I am currently a substitute teacher while I go back to school for my teaching degree. Days vary but typically I will be working 8 hours a day if I do get a job for the day. On weekends, I normally don’t have anything going on. I have a fenced in backyard that allows my dogs to run and use the bathroom. In the morning and at night, I take them for walks. In the afternoon, I take my GSP for a run. On weekends, we like to go to Sniffspots or hiking. In a clients home, I will take them for walks, play in the fenced in backyard if applicable, and sometimes with permission will take them hiking.

About: Hello everyone, my name is Kara. I've been around animals my entire life and have grown up with both dogs and cats. I have a love for animals, and will do anything to help them. I have one pup named Bee, and she’s 2 years old. I offer drop in visits for both dogs and cats of any age, and I also offer dog walking for all ages of dogs and puppies. I do wanna state that no matter what service you book with me I'll keep in contact the entire time of service, and will send photo updates. I can not accommodate overnight sittings as I have a stepdaughter who I care for while my boyfriend works 3rd shift, but also because I have a pup of my own who can’t be left alone overnight. If you have any questions please contact me, I hope to see you and your pets soon. Thanks for booking with me, I appreciate your business. ❤ God bless you! I currently do gig work full time so I pretty much have open availability and can certify that I’m a great choice to take care of your fur babies. I make sure that when out on a walk that dogs are properly harnessed, and that I follow the owners instructions for each family pet.

About: I have taken in many animals of all kinds throughout the years , Persistent and accountable caretaker. It is important to me to make a difference to all walks of life. Currently I am staying home with my young children, I am available most days of the week! And am flexible to you and your pets wishes. I have a few aquarium animals, no dogs or cats, but I also care for some of the animals next door quite often. We have small children if your pet is tolerable of them and crating is optional per your request.

“Yolanda was wonderful. Very thorough. I wasn't afraid at all because I knew she'd be there to take care of KIDDEY! I would definitely suggest Rover to a friend and have them choose Yolanda”

About: I’ve mainly taken care of friends and family pets since i was around 15(28 now). I am capable of feeding, bathing, short walks, supervision while outside and in. I can make time as needed. I work part time as a caregiver and am a full time student online. Because i only work part time I have quite a bit of free time during the week I do not offer out of home care as I have two cats that are my limit due to apartment rules. When in someone else’s home I respect obvious and stated boundaries and can also provide light cleaning if necessary!
