Pet Sitting in Putney

About: Hey! I'm Kaliyah, though I'd prefer to be called Lynx. I've always been an animal lover at heart. I had a lot of pets growing up. Since I was five years old, I've cared for cats, dogs, even geckos! I'm comfortable with all sizes and personalities, whether it's sassy or affectionate cats, playful or stubborn dogs, or anything in between! I know both cat and dog body language like the back of my hand. I have experience with seniors as well and am happy to learn whatever I need to keep your furry friend happy! I'm taking a break from school and work right now so I can focus on my IOP, which takes place 12-3 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Aside from that, I'm free any time of day, as well as flexible! I also plan on returning to school when possible to become an auto mechanic. I can't wait to meet your pets! I'm currently taking a break from work and school for my mental health so I'll have plenty of time to look after your furry friend! I currently co-own a great pyrenees with my dad, meaning I have experience with stubborn, large, long haired dogs. I live with several pets, meaning I know how to safely break up fights when necessary.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since grade school and truly can’t remember a time without pets in my life. I grew up with two dogs, Bailey and Shakespeare, a cat named Tooka, and a rotating cast of birds, fish, hermit crabs, and other small chaos-makers. I’m very comfortable with all kinds of pets, personalities, and quirks. 😊 For over a decade, I’ve been my sister’s go-to pet sitter, and more recently I spent three years in Southern Vermont house and pet sitting, caring for homes and animals of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. As a seasoned thru hiker and outdoor enthusiast, I love taking pups for long walks and soaking up the sun. I’m quick to respond, reliable, and responsible. I also genuinely love hanging out with animals and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and a bit spoiled while you’re away. I recently returned home from New Zealand, where I spent four months thru-hiking the length of the country. I’m now back in the suburbs of Philadelphia working as a substitute teacher. I’m an early riser and usually wrap up with work around 2:30pm. That schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available for morning feedings and walks, afternoon check-ins after school, and evening visits as needed. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to keep things consistent, calm, and comfortable while you’re away. Please share your pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific care instructions. I’m happy to follow them closely. I’m flexible and committed to caring for your pets in a way that matches how you would care for them, so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while you’re away.

“Elias took fantastic care of my tricky kitty, including administering meds in food and dealing with frozen wet food (Smalls) which is trickier than scooping dry food or opening a can. They were very responsive communication-wise and enthusiastic. I will definitely turn to them again for kitty care when I next leave town.”

“Ayden was a fantastic house sitter. He took incredible care of our numerous animals, and even noticed that our pellet stove had malfunctioned and let us know! We highly recommend him.”

“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved cat, Samson, to Louise, a pet sitter I found through Rover. I couldn't have been happier with the exceptional care and attention she provided to my furry friend. From the very first meeting, it was clear that Louise was a true animal lover. She took the time to get to know Samson, learning all about his personality, habits, and preferences. Throughout my trip, she sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away. What really stood out to me about Louise was her flexibility and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure that Samson was happy and well-cared-for. When I unexpectedly had to extend my trip by two weeks, she was able to accommodate the change in plans without any hesitation. Overall, I would highly recommend Louise to anyone in need of a pet sitter. She is kind, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the well-being of animals. I will certainly be seeking her services again in the future, and I encourage others to do the same. Thank you, Louise, for everything you did for Samson - we are both so grateful!”

“I was really worried about leaving my dog at home while I went on a business trip. Emily filled in last minute and served as a wonderful caretaker for my dog (which is a border collie). Emily made me feel so comfortable during this process. She was just wonderful with my dog. So reliable. So kind and caring. Highly recommended.”

“Christine was very thorough and had great communication. And it seems my dog had a wonderful time with her while we were away! Thank you, would definitely book again.”

About: I used to babysit for my best friend's family who had three cats and one very active poodle. As well as I've had many pets of my own; cats, dogs guinea pigs, hamsters, you name it. My mother used to be a police dog trainer so i'm very good at handling bigger dogs. I'm very flexible when it comes to time and will work around your schedule. I'm currently home from college for spring break and my time is very open for both weekends and weekdays. My working hours start at 7am and go till 11pm. (But I can fluctuate with your schedule) I have a fenced backyard. And one very friendly small/medium dog, he's a little shy, but he gets along with everyone. I believe that our pet should be treated like family members. Walks, treats, attention and lots of love.

“Haley was a wonderful caretaker for our two cats! We got plenty of updates and pictures. Both cats took to her immediately and soon they were playing and making biscuits 🥰. We appreciate the time she spent getting to know them and would definitely book again!”

About: Huge dog lover...I’m definitely the type of person to pay more attention to the dog in the room than the humans haha :) I have very open availability and would love to help out by caring for your furry friend(s)! As a dog owner myself I understand the level of trust that comes with leaving your pets with others. I’m quite active and can assure that they will receive chances to exercise if needed, in addition of course to love & affection.

If you are having difficulties around these issues I may be able to provide a little insight, if anything try to help. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Hope to hear from you soon :)

“Sarah stop by the house a week before the booked day to get to know my dog and the routine. She is very pleasant. I booked her for two visits. Upon arriving home my 8 month puppy was very content. Everything went as planned. I will certainly use her again the next time I am away. I would recommend her services.”
