“Melissa does an awesome job with my puppy. I always know Kaldi is in good hands with her”

About: I own a senior dog currently and have 2 years of fostering multiple types of dogs until they were adopted. I took a break from Rover in 2021 when i started fostering dogs and now that I have my senior dog, I’m more able to do Rover because he has a very set schedule. Additionally, I have several years of pet sitting experience. I have a 5 year old Tuxedo cat and a 4 year old orange tabby cat. I work full time at home with mostly flexible hours, so unless I have meetings, I am able to do most times during the week. Sunday mornings is my in office day, so from 8:30am-12 on Sundays I am unavailable Whenever I am outdoors with a dog, I will have an eye on them if there is a fence and on a leash. I am accustomed to escape artist pets, so I am good at getting in and out of homes without letting an animal out

About: I have grown up with all different types of animals with the responsibility of caring for them. I have cared for both personal and professional clients. I can provide amazing care to any animal that needs it. I have worked with rescues from dogs and cats to farm animals. My passion is to provide the best care for your furry, feathered, or scaled friend. I currently live on a farm and have a lot of free time during the week. I work part time on the weekends but am available in the afternoons/evenings as well. I have a very friendly horse and 2 donkeys kept in an electric fence. We have acres of land for pets to exercise and play on. I have a long line set up and long leashes for play. I can provide fresh water and a safe studio apartment for them to rest inside.

“Thank you ☺️. I was happy that Toco and Alexandra hit it off right away .”

About: Until this year, I have owned a dog my entire life with many cats in between. This year, I have also had the pleasure of executing 12 dog and house sits in California, Oregon, and Washington. I have experience with young puppies, as well as elderly dogs with a plethora of health problems. I have experience with big dogs like German shepherds, Australian shepherds, and Rottweilers, to teacup Pomeranians, spitz, and many more. I am very creative and fun, and the animals I’ve looked after always seem to pick up on that and can’t wait to hang out. :) I recently moved back to my childhood home and have been caring for my mother’s 2 year old German Shepherd and 8 year old cat. I make sure they are fed and watered every day, but the joy comes from training and cuddling. I sell vintage clothing, so being self employed allows me to accommodate all the needs of the animals. This includes recently taking the dog to get spayed and long walks on our property. My services on house sits include obviously feeding and general care of the animals, as well as promptly following specific dietary regimens and health requirements of every animal. I have cared for very old dogs that needed assistance in bowel movements as well as simple motivation for stubborn dogs that don’t like to walk. I have also looked after countless plants and hot tubs, ensuring proper watering and chlorination.

“Tracey has always given so much love and attention to all types of animals from wild deer to horses to dogs. I think that it's her patient and calm energy that the animals can feel, which then gives them a sense of trust. Tracey will take very good care of your pets and give them the love she would give to her own.”

“Delaney is very reliable and attentive to my dogs needs. She is also a great communicator.”

About: I go to family members houses to care for their dogs about twice a quarter. I have experience taking care of my own dogs for 16 years. It is completely open any time for any reason. I am trying to find something to do during the week because I get bored and this sounds right up my alley! We feed them twice a day and have a gravity filled shared water container for them. They get baths once a week and they all love to get daily pets for a couple hours.

“Jolie will love and care for your pet with just as much heart that you would if you were there! I have watched her love of all animals, with their comfort and safety being her number one concern. Along with looking after our pets through the years, she has volunteered at our county animal shelter. She has worked with a local vet to foster many kittens until loving homes were found. Dotes on her own dog and cats and has experience caring for horses.. And not only is she a wonderful fur baby mama, she is a fantastic mama to her tiny human too!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was the age of 10, I have mostly taken care of smaller dogs, but I can also take care of bigger ones. I'm currently not employed and I'm looking for this to be my job, it would be better if I took care of your pet after 12pm. I take care of six cats and a dog in my home. I provide food and water to them and make sure that they take their medications. I spend a great bit of my time making sure that they are happy and healthy, I get down to their level and spend time playing with them.
