Pet Sitting in Saint James

About: We lost our last little guy in February 2024. It’s the first time in 35+ years without at least one dog under the same roof, and it’s felt like something essential is missing. I have such a love for dogs, and would love to pass that on to yours while you have to be away from them. That’s my main reason for being a Rover Sitter. I’m semi-retired and work from home, so your dog(s) will get my full attention. Your dog(s) will get care, love, playtime and exercise. Outside, they'll be supervised, whether they’re just roaming, playing or doing their business. I myself love to walk, and welcome having your dog as my walking buddy. Inside, they'll get a lot of attention and affection whether playing ball, or just chilling out. If you've got a senior, I am very experienced in that care, whether simple TLC, boosts when standing, meds, multiple bathroom breaks, etc. Our dogs were allowed on the furniture, and slept on the bed with us; I respect and will follow your rules for that, though. For those who like to sleep in their own "den," I have a lot of experience with crate training also. I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet before the first visit to make sure everybody's comfortable -- both canine and human. Photos and updates are happily available while you're away. I work from home, and have a very flexible schedule throughout the day. I can sit with your dog(s) any day of the week and/or weekend. Outside, they'll be supervised, whether they’re just roaming, playing or doing their business. I myself love to walk, and welcome having your dog as my walking buddy. Inside, they'll get a lot of attention and affection whether playing ball, or just chilling out. If you've got a senior, I am very experienced in that care, whether simple TLC, boosts when standing, meds, multiple bathroom breaks, etc.

“Julie did an amazing job connecting with my cat. Usually when I return my cat is not very happy. The cat was very peaceful which matters since she’s elderly and has health issues. I highly recommend Julie. I also felt relaxed while away getting updates on a daily basis.”

“Lisa did an amazing job caring for all my animals with all their specific needs. I was able to go on vacation for the first time in years and knew they were in good hands. She kept me informed and sent wonderful pictures! She is an amazing lady! Thank you so much Lisa for all your help :)”

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I can remember! I specifically remember the time that I took care of my sisters dog (a medium sized dog) . I love having her around since I sadly don’t own a dog of my own anymore. I love taking her for walks and helping her to solidify her tricks! I also took care of my church members dog (a small dog). Since she is an older pup, I would help give her medicines and she had timed feedings. I loved taking her for walks and spending time with her. I have taken care of many different pets throughout the past few years and always enjoy being able to help them live their best lives and treating them like my own! I am a college student currently living at home. I try to go on about a 1-3 mile walk daily (if weather allows) and would love to take a pet with me! I live in a house with a very large yard (not fenced in) and would love to play with the animals. I clean my cats litter box daily and have play/cuddle time with him daily. As mentioned before, I cuddle with my cat daily and also clean his litter box daily. I take him outside with me sometimes to sit and read. He is an indoor cat and so I love to make sure he gets time outside too. When pet sitting for others, I have always taken their dogs outside at least every 3 hours and given them food/medicines as instructed. I also played with the animals and cuddles with them as needed. I cleaned the litter boxes daily and made sure all water bowls were filled. Overall I will treat your pet like it is my own and I would love to have your trust with them!

“Absolutely awesome experience! I can’t say enough good things about how well Hanna took care of my fur-babies. Highly recommend her and I will definitely have her over again in the future!”

About: I am a "fur momma" to our rescue is Rhea; 11 y/o 22 lb jack russell terrier, beagle mix. She is like watching NASCAR fueled by narcotics. We love running the yard and playing fetch, however our favorite thing is taking walks or hikes. When I come home from work I love to unwind and just cuddle the pups. I work very well with all animals and a trusting individual that strives on integrity and work ethic. I currently work a full-time, dayshift job. After work hours puppy lovins is something I look forward to at the end of my day. Research shows that it helps boost serotonin levels, especially in my line of work. I have a small fenced yard at my property, an extra wire kennel, and a separate room to provide the baby some quiet space. I have interior and exterior cameras on the property.
