Pet Sitting in Polk

“We needed someone to let our senior dog out once a day while at work. Chante has been amazing. She is very reliable and kind to our dog. I can't thank her enough for helping us out.”

About: I grew up on a farm with 16 horses, cows, dogs, and cats, which gave me solid experience in animal care. I also travel, camp, and hike with my cat, Pumpkin, which has helped me learn to manage various pet needs while on the move. My background includes experience with horses, dogs, and cats, as well as training and handling. I’m skilled in caring for both active and senior pets, providing personalized attention. My adaptability and travel experience make me a reliable choice for pets needing a caring and flexible sitter. I am currently working a remote job that I can log in at any time, so I can make my schedule around and pause for any pet care! I am across the road from an open field we can walk to or around Monroe's less busy roads. Pumpkin has his own bedroom he can go to that he is safe in and I have an additional open room if needed, along with the rest of the house. In client's homes, I can be there as long as needed and stay as close to their normal routine as possible.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a child. They are not like family, they are family. Many friends and relatives have entrusted me to care for their pets for short and long stays at my home where they receive love, attention, play, and care. When caring for your pets, they will not be alone for more than 4 hours at a time during the weekday. Evenings and weeknights they will not be alone for more than an hour at a time. I have a large fenced yard and close access to a public park for walks. I enjoy playing with animals and giving them attention and care.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I have owned and care for many dogs. From puppies to seniors. Dogs are very special to me and I would do anything for the dogs in my care. I currently work part time. Typically I'm off at 1pm every day. So I would be more than willing to care for your pet any time after that and all day on my off days. I would make sure that all doors and fences stayed closed unless exiting from them. Dogs would always have fresh water and food. With feeding instructions from parents. I would always make sure dogs are happy and healthy. As a healthy pup makes for a great day.

About: I’ve owned many pets from dogs and cats to hamsters and chickens. I pet sit often around my neighborhood and love to volunteer at the local animal shelter! I’m available this summer from now until starting back at school mid August. I will be working primarily from 12:00 pm-6:00 pm but will have plenty of time to take great care of your pets outside of that. I’ll do my best to meet you and your pet's needs. I will provide loving care for your pets at your home where they are most comfortable. I can also take them for walks or to the local dog park. Whatever they are used to and enjoy doing, I would be happy to continue with them when needed and at your desire.

About: I volunteered at CARE which is a no kill pet shelter for cats and dogs in 2014 and recently started volunteering at this place again, February 2018. My duties included feeding and making sure the animals had enough water. Cleaned out kennels and cages and would take the dogs outside and walk them. I have had dogs and cats since I was born and currently had a dog who loved being around other cats and dogs. She loved to play with animals as well and loved children. Her name was Daisy she is in my profile pic with me. Daisy was euthanized on September 1st, 2023. I now have another dog whose name is Emma. She’s a year old and as long as it’s ok with a client I bring her to pet sitting jobs. She loves other animals including cats and loves to play. She’s lovable and affectionate and loves attention. I also have a cat and her name is Maizy. She is four years old and I got her when she was almost 4 weeks old. I would take Daisy for walks and if I could take her with me to other places I did. One of the places I took her was to the pet store. I no longer wear a mask unless I have to. If you prefer for me to wear one please let me know and I will wear one. I use to work at a job which required me to work a 10 hour shift. I am now working at a full time job which has 8 hour shifts. I can work around my schedule if needed. My supervisor does work with me on switching my days around if needed. I can’t keep your pet in my apartment due to rules and restrictions but I can come to your home. I will provide my own food and necessities.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. All different sizes and kinds. Love them all. Will treat every dog as if it were my own. I work full time from home so I can watch your dog all day if needed at my house. If I need to come to your house I can do that to it would just have to be on my lunch break or after work and anytime in the weekends I have a huge fenced yard. I have 6 dogs and they all love and play with all dogs. If needed to keep them separate I can do that as well.

“Kelli took good care of my cat while I was on vacation. My cat is skittish and not social so can’t be brushed or petted except by me. Kelli did everything I asked of her. She cleaned up after him, gave him fresh water and his medication. She even looked for him when he was hiding and sent me pictures. I would definitely book with Rover again! Thank you so much, Kelli! 🤩”

About: We love dogs! We are called first when any of our friends go out of town. We have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages from older doxies to young mutts and we love large rotties too. We are also okay with special needs dogs and we make sure your dog gets their medications when scheduled. Our lab loves to make new friends with dogs of all sizes. We have a nice privacy fenced in back yard with a kiddie pool to help the dogs keep cool during the summer even though they will spend most of the time inside. Please know that if your pup stays with us he or she will be treated like a part of the family. We love dogs! I help my Dad on his farm only when I'm not scheduled to care for a pup I'm hosting. I'm free to stay at home all day with your pet. I always keep an eye on what's going on. I'm usually outside if our pups are. If I'm watching a pet at your home, I don't make messes.

“Brooke was amazing! My bassets took to her right away~~I was gone about four days, but when I got home a little earlier than expected, they ditched me completely to go hang out with Brooke. 😂🥰. I will definitely ask for her help again —the dogs were so much happier with her than a cramped, noisy kennel.”

About: Experience in animal care via vet med & boarding/daycare facilities . Comfortable with dogs, cats, and horses/farm animals. Skills include administering medicine (including insulin). *Can do flat rate payments in cash; $25/day for Bolivar residents & $25/day + $5 per 5 miles for out of town residents. Drop-in visits at your home are done throughout the day, subject to my full-time job schedule. Visits can be as often as 1-3 times daily (roughly every 2 hours), and/or as needed per their normal routine. I do not offer pet sitting within my own home, all care is done on a drop-in basis at client's home. Pet care will be based on owner requests, within reason, and will be done to the best of my ability & own professional assessment.

About: I have 4 of my own dogs at home, I love hanging out with them and taking care of them but I do know that life gets busy and when your away you need someone to come and watch them for you! I get up in the morning and right away I take my dogs out and feed them and I take them out through out the day and feed them at night! I am able to feed them and watch them, my favorite thing to do is play with dogs! I also love giving them baths, and I love going on walks and it makes it so much more fun when you bring a dog along!

“We were very happy with Emily. She gave us good reports and photos about our cats and even did extra things -- watering plants, etc.”

“Very thorough, thoughtful, and friendly. Took an immediate sense of ownership in my dog’s wellbeing. Great communicator, trustworthy, and flexible. Dog loved her immediately, and I’m sure they had fun together. Would definitely recommend and will utilize again.”

About: I have had dogs and a couple cats, I would say that I am fairly knowledgeable about typical animal behavior. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Owned horses and have been around an assortment of other animals throughout my life. Currently work full-time but I am about to not be working full time and would like to do dog walking/hiking and such full-time. I will be available throughout the week at anytime of day. Hoping to allow dog sitting at some point in the future for clients as well. I have a fenced back yard and give them ample exercise. I have learned that biking is one of the best things for a dog, especially high energy dogs but also any dog really. They get lots of petting and one on one playing throughout the day as well.

About: Growing up my family had 3 dogs at the minimum. On top of that of that I grew up on a farm so I'm used to taking care of lots of different animals. I love animals and love exercise so it's a perfect fit. I have a part time job I have to work around. but there's usually a few hours a day I can take care of your best friends. I don't offer a pet sitting service.But I would happily visit your home, take your animal on a walk and feed them, give them water, and make sure they are as comfortable as possible.

About: I have 20 years of animal care experience with both cats and dogs. I have 2 dogs and one cat of my own, and currently have 3 foster dogs as well. I have experience in obedience training, so if your dog pulls, had issue on leash or other behavioral issues dont let that stop you from reaching out. I have a very "difficult" dog of my own and am very experienced managing and working through unwanted behaviors. I have a soft spot for the trouble makers and difficult dogs, but I truly love working with all dogs. I work most days, so my availability is evenings and weekends. I can do drop ins, walks, and overnight stays any evening or weekend. I do need a few days and advance notice, because I have dogs at home too! I have a fenced yard, and foster frequently. All of my pets are indoors when I'm gone, and get freedom to roam in the back yard when I am home. Depending on the temperament of the fosters I have, I do have separate rooms for different dogs to ensure safety for all dogs incase some of the fosters do not get along. So I am very accustomed to special needs for aggressive or dogs that just do not play well with others!

About: I name is Kim. I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience. I have experience with puppies and with older dogs. I mainly have owed large breed dogs. My last dog Surge, just passed away in May. He was only four. I would love to live bicuriously through your pets. I work close to my apartment so I can do potty breaks through out the day and can provide a lot of attention and play time. Let me know what your pets needs are and I will let you know how I can help. I currently work full time about 5 minutes from where I live. I have a flexible schedule and would be able to check on your pets as often as needed. I live in the city. So it's all about a good walk for us. Also have a small yard at the apartment. I prefer to house sit to leave your dog in a familiar place. It seems better for the dogs.

About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, and birds since I was a teenager. I love them all and will go the extra mile to care for them. I will walk them, play with them, bathe them, and feed them. I'm available 7 days a week, but will only care for one families pets at a time, so first come first served. I take last minute same day requests. I will watch your pets in my home or yours. I don't have any of my own pets right now so yours will get all of my attention and care.
