Pet Sitting River Bend

“Once again Jenna went above and beyond just looking in on our two cats. Packages and mail (we forgot to have it stopped!) were picked up; pet dishes were washed and ready to go. She let me know a smoke detector battery needed replacement and was emitting the constant beep and scaring the cats. We found a family member to come figure it out after Jenna and a neighbor had tried to fix it for us. Jenna is so dependable and a true animal lover.”

About: I'm retired, so I'm available most of the time. I have worked with two different German Shepherd Rescues as a foster mom. I also volunteer at the local regional animal shelter. I have helped train many dogs over the years. I also have quite a bit of cat experience, as well as birds, fish (both salt and freshwater tanks) and reptiles, I enjoy cats, and find that they are all very unique. I enjoy being a pet sitter, providing safety and love for them while their parents are away. I offer FREE MEET & GREETS! (A Meet & Greet is necessary for the first visit, no exceptions). Also, I need 3 days advance notice in order to consider your pet for boarding. I have many reviews in my profile from past sitting jobs. Thanks I am retired and available as noted on my calendar. I make every attempt to feed dogs and cats at the same time as the owners. I find that keeping pets on a schedule helps them to feel safe and comfortable when their owners are away. My dog, Sky, is AKC "Star Puppy" and "Advanced Obedience" trained. I have a strong skill set for helping anxious dogs. I understand how to keep a pet engaged, both in general play and affection.

About: I loved animals ever since I was a kid and raised and trained my dog Zephyr since he was a year old. I adore all animals care for two rodents of my own named Orchid and Meadow. I often petsit for my family and friends and have taken care of a wide variety of animals. I've taken care of pets of all ages from puppies to my senior dog who currently has from dementia. I am very patient and licensed CNA so I know how to handle a mess. I am a freshman in college though my classes are very light. I'm free after 9am on Mondays and Wednesdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm free after 12:15 though I can come in earlier anytime before 9, Fridays can vary for me but I'm typically free after 9-10 am though sometimes if I have an exam it might be an hour or so later though I can always make arrangements if necessary. I care for pets by following their routine, spending lots of time with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m respectful of my client's homes and always clean up after the pets and leave everything as I found it. I After a procedure my dog needed to be crate trained so I know how to handle that.

“Kyle is great! He was very communicative, sent updates, and took great care of our cat. She seems to like him, which gave us peace of mind. We’d definitely book with him again!”

About: Hi! I’m Hailey, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I have experience with puppy training and am trained in dog CPR. As a former collegiate athlete, I’m also happy to keep up with even the most energetic pups! My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. As someone who works from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. With the flexibility of my schedule, I have the privilege of being available for your pets throughout the day. This means I can provide them with the attention, care, and companionship they need. Whether it's feeding, exercise, playtime, or administering any necessary medications, I can be there to tend to their needs promptly. Additionally, I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine for pets, so I ensure that their feeding and exercise schedules align with their usual habits. Rest assured, your furry companions will receive dedicated care and supervision, as I am always present and ready to meet their needs. The way I care for pets in my home or a client's home depends on the specific service being provided. Here are a few scenarios: In the client's home: Pet Sitting: When providing pet sitting services at a client's home, I make sure to replicate the pet's daily routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them according to their usual schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs for walks, and engaging in playtime or exercise based on their specific needs. I also offer companionship and affection to help reduce any separation anxiety they may experience. Drop-in Visits: During drop-in visits, I visit the client's home at scheduled times to check on their pets. I ensure they have food and water, clean litter boxes, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, and spend quality time with them, offering play and affection. Dog Walking: For dog walking services, I take the dogs on stimulating walks to provide exercise, mental stimulation, and an opportunity for bathroom breaks. I follow any instructions regarding route preferences, leash handling, or specific behavioral considerations. Regardless of the service provided, the well-being, safety, and happiness of the pets are my top priorities. I strive to create a comfortable and nurturing environment, maintain their regular routines, and shower them with love and attention, just as their owners would.

About: I will treat your pet with the utmost respect and love. No one should have to spend time worrying about their pets when they are on vacation, I send or post regular photos and almost always have my phone with me for any question or concerns you may have. I have spent my whole life with pets, I also volunteer with rescues, drive freedom transports for dogs, and foster when needed.

About: I love getting to know new people and their pets. I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and they’re a huge part of my life. I’ve worked at an animal hospital for over 6 years and have lots of experience with all kinds of pets! I work full time during the week. I’m available before and after work, and most days on lunch breaks as well. Weekends I have more flexibility. I have an adult dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and would love to go on walks with new friends if they’re a good fit together. I know that some dogs can be shy, so if we need to have a meeting first we can discuss that.

“Texted with pics every visit. The kitties came out and seemed to really like her. She did everything on the list. Would definitely hire again!”

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I also have experience with rescue animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and comfort level. I’m patient, compassionate, and committed to making sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing, I’ll do my best to make them feel right at home. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat your furry friends with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! ❤️🐶🐱 I do pet care full time and when I’m not caring for your pets I’m at home spending time with mine. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats who are my world and I love nothing more than to snuggle with them on my couch and binge watch a good series! My dogs go out every 2-4 hours and my cats never go outdoors. Anytime my dogs go outside they’re always on a leash and supervised.

“Ally is dependable and so easy to work with. My dog and I love her!”

About: As someone who has owned and trained a rescue dog with both stranger and dog reactivity for the past two years, I understand firsthand how difficult it can be to find a trustworthy, experienced pet sitter. Every dog deserves compassionate, patient care, regardless of their behavioral challenges. Through working with professional trainers and extensively studying canine behavior and reactivity, I've gained valuable experience in recognizing triggers, managing stress, building trust, and maintaining consistent training routines. I understand that building a relationship with a reactive dog takes time, patience, and respect for their boundaries. My priority is ensuring your dog feels safe, comfortable, and understood while you're away. In addition to my experience with reactive dogs, I've helped friends train their puppies, focusing on positive experiences, confidence building, and helping them navigate the world comfortably. I'm also comfortable providing basic care, including nail trims when tolerated, ear cleaning, and administering oral medications, vitamins, or supplements according to your instructions. I believe pet owners deserve to enjoy vacations, travel, or simply spend time away from home without worrying about their furry family members. I'll respect your dog's established routines, follow their existing training and management plans, and provide frequent updates, photos, and communication at no additional charge. My goal is simple: to give your dog the patience, consistency, and individualized care they deserve while giving you peace of mind knowing they're in capable, caring hands. I have a flexible work-from-home schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I typically finish my workday in the early afternoon, giving me availability for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and quality one-on-one care. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily routine, so incorporating pet sitting feels like a natural fit! I understand the importance of consistency, especially for dogs with anxiety or reactivity, and I'm happy to accommodate established feeding schedules, exercise routines, and training needs. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care while making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away! Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I'll maintain a secure environment by keeping hazards out of reach, following household rules, and respecting your pet's individual needs and triggers. I believe physical activity and mental enrichment are essential for a fulfilled pet! Our time together may include walks, interactive play, puzzle games, and plenty of downtime to recharge. I'll maintain your pet's established routines and training while providing patient, personalized care, especially for those with anxiety or reactivity. My goal is to keep your pet happy, engaged, and well cared for until your return!

Love to play with dogs and giving them some fun time while away from home.

“Angie did a great job! We came back from out of town to a happy cat. It's difficult with our cat because he has to have a pill administered but Angie was able to! She's also a very professional communicator and makes you feel comfortable with her visiting every step of the way. Thank you Angie!”
