Pet Sitting in Port Matilda

About: Hello! I'm Leigh Ann, and I would love to be your pet sitter. I am reliable and attentive with your furry family members. I genuinely enjoy keeping pets comfortable in their own homes while you're away. I understand it is important to keep a pets routine, and I want to do what's best for the pet. I make it my priority to provide consistent care and a stess-free environment. I have about 7 years of pet/house sitting experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. This has included, but not limited to, feeding, walking, administering basic medications and plenty of affection and playtime. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, or more relaxed and shy, I will adapt to their own personality and needs. My own 2 dogs have their own distinct personalities. My male is playful and outgoing, meanwhile my female is more of a clingy needs in you personal space shy kind. I love them both. When house sitting, I treat your home with the the same respect I would my own. I keep spaces clean, secure and organized. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in the mail, pick up any packages, and keep everything running smoothly while you're away. In previous years I have even helped owners with their house when our area experienced prolonged power outages. While you are away, you can expect regular updates, photos and quick communication so you always know your pets are happy and safe. I am available most weekdays and weekends. I will help with any overnights that need taken care of. I have recently been working from home, so anytime you need someone I can be your go to person. I can't wait to help and meet your little furry family members! I'm currently working part time from home. My laptop and I are willing to help out you and your family any day of the week with a good notice. I can care for your pet anytime throughout the day as well. I will follow any current routine your pets have to give them the best care! I will feed, clean up their area, bath them, play with them or just simple walks. At your home is the best option to give your pet adequate care.

About: I’ve always been a dog family, growing up with always 2 dogs or more in my family households. When I was 20, I adopted my soul dog Dusty, who was extremely dog reactive. He showed me a lot of how to deal with reactive dogs, especially on walks and dealing with strangers who may not get that their dog may be friendly, but yours may need that extra space to be comfortable. I now also own two cats, adopted from the local shelter Paws and they have become my life. They are very clingy but also shy towards strangers. So I also very understand if you own some shy cats, I would love them just the same! I currently live all year in State College, work full time but still have plenty of time for my cats and still have more time for others. Just let me know 24 hours ahead or more and it can happen! I am fully comfortable crating all kinds of dogs, walking any breed, or dealing with any shy temperamental cat. I really love animals with all my heart, and you have my word when you’re not home- you don’t need to worry about your furry loved one back home.

“Phoebe was great! I booked her last minute and was so grateful that she offered to help out. She is friendly and reliable. My dogs loved her, I would 100% use her again.”

About: I've taken care of cats since five years ago. We have our own cat, Puffy, and also take care of our friends' cats from time to time. My two boys are both cat lovers and very helpful for taking care of cats. I'm working parttime at home, so I am at home most of the time. My schedule is very flexible and should be able to fit your needs. We have a single house, which provide plenty of space for cats to explore. We will clean the litter box every day for your cats. We also have plenty of toys for your cats to play with.

“Bex was such a great first experience using Rover. She kept us connected with photos and messages letting us know how each check in went. She made our first time away from our animals super positive and will definitely use her again! Thanks Bex!”

About: I've loved animals of all kinds ever since I can remember and have always had pets while growing up and since, including dogs, cats, parakeets, turtles, rabbits and fish. I can't imagine not having animals as part of my family. We currently have a dog and six cats. My dog, who is part Jack Russel Terrier, was a puppy when we adopted him, so it was necessary to house-train him, which I was able to accomplish in just a couple of weeks. I don't know if it was my technique or just that he was very smart! I recently retired from full-time work and can devote lots of time to my dog & cats. I try to stick to a routine, though, similar to the one I had when I had a job: scooping the litter boxes in the morning & evening and feeding twice a day. My dog was recently diagnosed with diabetes so he requires an insulin injection after each meal, which needs to be very consistently timed. My dog has never been the type to want to run off on his own. We live in the country far back from the road but, because he won't even go outside unless I go with him, a fence or restraint isn't needed. However, I have lived in cities where having dogs on a leash was necessary so I have experience with that - having walked 3 dogs at once at times in the past. I would never let someone else's dog outside without a leash, tie-out, or fenced in yard. My cats stay indoors to keep them, as well as, the birds and other wildlife safe but, if a client's cat is allowed outdoors, I will do as they wish.

“Liv was so understanding and patient with my dog, Poppy, and was really flexible and reliable! She was willing to stop by two times so Poppy could get to know her before her drop in visits, which I really appreciated. Poppy is deaf and can be a little high energy but Liv was awesome with her, sent lots of pictures and updates, and Poppy loves her!”

“Madison was great with my dogs. They don't always want to go back into their crates but she was able to handle them. I felt better being on vacation knowing that someone was giving them some attention.”

About: I have taken care of animals for nearly 10 years and have experience with all kinds of dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I am a pet owner myself, so I know how important it is to feel that your loved one is in good hands. I am always sure to follow directions closely, and do everything I can to ensure the animals have a safe and enjoyable experience. I'm currently a graduate student and have a pretty flexible schedule. For the summer, I am generally available any morning and evening during the weekday + any time on the weekend. I follow the care instructions, take note of the living area, monitor the animal for any signs of stress or illness, and provide them the attention they need, whether that be playing, petting, or spending quiet time with them.

“Margaret took great care of our 2 dogs while we were away for the weekend. She stayed longer than she needed to to ensure the pups had enough love and care in our absence. She communicated and shared photos often”

“Alisha did great! She was very responsive and accommodating. Our Lab, Luna, told me that she enjoyed her time with Alisha which is good enough for me. Give her a call!”

“Ruth dropped in to help with our cats and guinea pigs while we were away for the holiday. She sent a picture each day and provided a good overview of her visit. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I have worked in an animal shelter for almost 7 years. I was the kennel manager, I did the daily cleaning and walking of the dogs and cats and have experience in medicating them. I'm currently not working so I have a pretty flexible schedule, any time and days of the week work well for me. please feel free to ask me any questions I have tons of experience and know a lot about handling and caring for animals. I have 2 very loving cats but your pets would not be meeting them.

About: I've had 2 dogs, and I had a wonderful list of clients in Vermont. They were friends or became friends. Your dog is my love. I am retired. My daily schedule is fairly flexible right now except for a morning class at the Y. This is my only part-time job. I follow all of your expectations, and I will spend a lot of time cuddling and playing. I also talk a lot to your pets!

“Bailee was great! She cared for Roc & Cookie and spent tons of time with them. That was great since they are high energy dogs who love people. She went above and beyond and we couldn’t be happier with how Bailee took care of our fur babies!!”

“Jana did a great job with looking after our cat, Sook. She was very accommodating with our cat, who suddenly and unexpectedly became unwell. She very kindly looked after him and cleaned up after him, and even came in for an extra visit on short notice when we were really concerned. She gave us lots of updates and pictures and became a real friend to our cat—it seems like he has truly bonded with her. We can’t thank Jana enough for her love and care for our cat!”

“Samantha is fabulous she takes such great care of our dogs. We have used her previously and went right back to her when the need arose again. I would not hesitate to book with her. She keeps you informed and send awesome pictures. My pups just love her visits.”
