Dog Sitting Severance

About: I’m a lifelong animal caregiver with over five and a half years of experience working in veterinary hospitals, where I worked in daycare, boarding, and front desk operations. My role gave me daily exposure to pets with all kinds of medical needs, behavior challenges, and special routines, and it taught me how to recognize emergencies, communicate clearly with owners, and keep pets safe and comfortable. While most of my vet‑hospital work was front desk and care coordination, I’ve gained extensive hands‑on experience at home caring for my own pets and pets I’ve sat for. This includes oral medications, injectable insulin for diabetic cats, fluid administration for senior cats, and monitoring pets with chronic conditions. My own cat recently lived to 20 and required daily special care, so I understand how important gentle, consistent medical routines are. I also worked in Physical Therapy, assisting the therapist, helping pets with mobility exercises, stretches, strengthening routines, and comfort‑focused handling. I’m familiar with braces, wheelchairs, and supportive devices, and I’m comfortable helping pets maintain the training or therapeutic exercises they’re already working on (including basic puppy training). I’m especially good with shy, scared, or anxious animals. I’ve always had a calm presence that helps nervous pets warm up quickly, and I take the time to understand each animal’s comfort level and communication style. Beyond dogs and cats, I have extensive multi‑species experience: • Pocket pets (guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, rats) • Reptiles (snakes, lizards, frogs) • Birds (large parrots to small finches) • Aquatic pets (frogs, fish, aquarium care) I’ve personally had dogs my entire life and cats since I was 10, and I’m comfortable with everything from puppies and kittens to very large dogs and fragile seniors. I’m also unfazed by the messy realities of pet care — litter boxes, accidents, vomit, picking up poop, mud, grooming cleanup, bathing, and nail trims (preferably with my dremel). Whether your pet needs gentle companionship, structured exercise, continued training, mobility support, or medical‑routine consistency, I provide calm, reliable, and detail‑oriented care. I send thorough updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I'm available most days, including weekends. Late night bookings are welcome. I'm only available for Early mornings on rare occasions. This is my primary job, so my availability is rather open. I currently have 2 older dogs, a young cat, and a snake. Both of my dogs are given oral medications daily and have fish oil added to their evening meals. One of my dogs is a very picky eater, so all of his meals involve mixing wet and dry food. I also recently lost a 20 year old cat who required daily oral medications, a special type of kitty litter, and injectable subcutaneous fluids routinely. I also regularly care for a diabetic cat who requires injectable insulin at specific times every morning and evening. My snake usually gets fed frozen mice (that have been warned up).

“Evelyn watched our cats for 14 days while also giving medicine, playing with them and giving them lovings. We were so stressed about leaving our cats with a stranger, but she made the process so unbelievably easy, on top of the fact we have a diabetic cat and she went above and beyond ensuring nothing went wrong. So responsive to messages, sends noted and pictures daily and clearly made sure the litter didnt get out of hand -- absolutely no gross smells or messed by the time we came home. We will be looking for her on our next trip, especially considering how fast our cats took to her and how relaxed they were during the trip and when we came home. Thank you Evelyn so much for all that you do and for being you, you will be contacted again for our next trip, as said.”

About: I've had a dog in my house ever since I was a kid. I've personally been the primary care for my dog her whole life, so I know all the difficulties in any stage of a dog's life. My availability is pretty flexible as my work hours are self assigned. Most week days and weekends I can make fit into what best suits your needs. I have a fenced in house with a long backyard which is great for fetch. Security cameras on all gate entrances. Indoor space for them to be in for however long they want to be.

“Danielle was excellent!! Came when she said she would, sent great photos! Followed my copious notes and managed all the tasks for my home. I felt like my babies and house were safe and well-cared for! Highly recommend. We will gladly have Danielle back!!!”

About: Hello! My name is Laura🐾 I’ve always grown up surrounded by pets, and my love and passion for animals have only grown stronger into adulthood. I truly enjoy learning about and understanding all different types of animals and their unique personalities and needs. My experience in pet care comes from caring for my own pets, helping family and friends with their animals, and volunteering over the years. I’m passionate about providing animals with the love, patience, playtime, and exercise they deserve. 🐶🐱❤️ Caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy it’s something I genuinely love and feel grateful to do! Need a break or just an extra hand? Let’s talk about your fur babies needs. I am easy going, and my schedule is very flexible.

About: I have been around animals since I was about 8 years old, mostly dogs and horses, and I have always loved taking care of and being around them. I have helped potty train, kennel train, and leash/harness train my family dog and friend’s dogs, and learned from a young age how each animal has different personalities and needs that are very important to pay attention to! I also currently volunteer at two different shelters: Animal Friends Alliance with both cats and dogs, and at All Aboard Animal Rescue with events and activities. I am currently a student at CSU, but when I’m not at class, I have a lot of time to give to the animals! I am completely free on Fridays and weekends, and during the week I am always available in the afternoons. Being around animals is a big part of who I am, and other than school, helping and taking care of animals is a big passion of mine! I have a large fenced balcony, and lots of safe sidewalks to take good walks on! I can provide plenty of couch and bed space for a nap, toys for some playtime, and a crate if needed. I have many options including hosting the animal at my apartment, your place, or just taking the pet for walks!

“Jessica is so thorough every time she does a check in with our dogs! She is great with checking in and making sure everyone is safe and happy!”

About: I’ve had childhood pets since I was 6 that I was responsible for feeding, walking, bathing, and cleaning up after. I’ve taken care of many a creature that needed medicine, insulin, and other special care. I’m an all around guy that can take care of all sorts of pets I own birds and a cat which require lots of care and love. I take care of my friends dog regularly so I’m always around animals to love and care for I will always follow procedure and household rules surrounding your animal(s), I will provide updates and photos so you won’t miss your little lads while away.

About: I have experience with puppies and kitties and have also cared for those in their golden years. I looked after a senior dog that had congestive heart failure and would give that dog medications daily. While watching your pets, I love spending time with them doing simple training, either teaching them manners or keeping them from peeing in the house! I'm switching jobs so not working right now but would love to spend my time working with your pets. I'm free in the afternoons after 12 into the evening until 8. I'm not able to work Sundays. I would only be able to watch over your pet at your home. I live in a small apartment and feel like most pets like the safety of their own home while their people are gone!

About: From when I was born up up until today, I have always been incredibly harmonized with animals, nature, and the energy around us. I personally have always had a thing for animals, always ensuring they get the proper care they need. Wheather that includes long walks, tons of affirmation and attention, or a day out in the mountains, I enjoy spending time and caring for any animals as if it were my own. I've owned many cats and dogs throughout my lifetime having also consistently taken care of farm animals for friends along with having owned and cared for many exotic animals such as axolotls, snakes, and I even have taken care of gators at some point. I am a ghost writer and social media manager for smaller creators or artists, allowing me to work online wherever, whenever, any time, any where, any day. This allows me to take up side gigs and pet sitting jobs whenever I want as my main income sources are low effort. Any schedule the people or animals around me have I usually can easily adapt to. I have lots of stored up energy throughout the day so even high effort high energy animals I can handle with ease. I ensure I keep up with the pets schedule, diet, environment, exercise needs and all things important involving the animal all while giving the animal as much attention as it wants or needs to ensure the pet stays social, happy, interactive and healthy. No matter if I am in the home for a simple drop in, or multiple nights, I will keep up with basic house care and maintenance to ensure I leave the house in the same or better shape than when I got there.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life, including caring for cats with various medical issues. I will provide the love and care for your pets to give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home so I have some flexibility to fit pet care into my schedule. I have plenty of availability in the mid afternoon, evenings and overnights I like to make sure that the pets are comfortable and will be extra attentive to their needs. I will give them lots of affection and cuddles, as well as make sure they get exercise and the meals and care they need!

“Mandeep was AMAZING with our senior guy!! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for communicative, patient, and timely sitter for their fur-baby.”

He is the sweetest and is very friendly. If your dog is not a fan of other dogs, my family and I dog share and he is more than welcome to stay with them during the duration of the dogs stay.

“Marisela did an exceptional job caring for Dotti and Pepsi. I had an opportunity to watch her give Dotti her meds, which was an improvement over the way I did things. I'm going to adopt Marisela's way of administering the meds. She offered play time to Pepsi, the social cat, which gains a person favor with him. He's happy. I was very pleased with her work. I have already given her a tip.”

“Jennifer helped us out at the last minute while our family was out-of-state at our youngest daughter's wedding. The caregiver / family friend we had arranged to watch our 12 year old English Retriever, and our oldest daughter's three year old domestic longhair cat, had a schedule conflict develop, and couldn't cover the entire trip. Jennifer was very prompt in responding to our inquiry, and asked "all the right questions" during our interactions to make us feel comfortable having her take over without the usual meet and greet on the front end. Jennifer hit all of the appointment window times, and even got our daughter's cat to show herself, which is an accomplishment in itself! From the pictures she sent, both animals thoroughly enjoyed their time with Jennifer, which gave us peace of mind during an eventful wedding week! We cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough, and she will be our first contact when we are in need of help from Rover again!”
