Pet Sitting Shafter

About: I’d say what really sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about the pets I’m watching. I don’t just “check in” on them I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I take time to learn their personality, routines, and little habits so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar to them. I have experience with both young and senior pets. With puppies, I’m patient and consistent with things like potty training, basic commands, and building good habits. With older pets, I understand they may need a slower pace, extra attention, or help with things like medication and sticking to a routine. I’m also big on communication I like to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is doing well. Overall, I just treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel as happy and stress free as possible. I currently live with my partner and my puppy all i do at home is do online school and take care of my puppy all day! I have a fenced backyard a pet safe house with pet gates as well lots of toys and food of course! I love caring for pets i am studying to become a Vet tech

“Callie was great, she came through for a last minute booking. Provided love and car to my fur babies and sent me cute pictures and a detailed update. I will surely be booking with Callie again.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring a unique combination of passion and reliability to pet sitting.

I treat every pet as if they were my own. With me, your furry friend will receive loving care and personalized attention tailored to their needs. As a part-time college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my time and attention to caring for your pets. I’m available for walks and check-ins throughout the day and evening. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I take every precaution to ensure they are well cared for while you’re away. I follow your specific instructions closely, keeping routines consistent and providing plenty of attention and supervision. You can have peace of mind knowing that both your pet and your space are in trustworthy hands.

About: I've been raising dogs since I was a teenager. I've literally raised them from birth, I've got experience breeding dogs and have helped them during the birth process. I just recently became a cat owner so I don't have very much experience with them but am learning new things all the time about them. I'm not the grooming type so if you want nails clipped or trimming done I suggest seeking someone else for that. I'm okay with giving them baths but that's about the extent of it. I've walked up to 3 dogs at once so I'm efficient in walking dogs. As shown in my headline I'm a big animal lover, they're my weakness, kryptonite, Achilles heel. I'm more emotional over their deaths than humans. My availability varies due to having a part time job and having animals of my own to care for but I'm capable of juggling all that I make sure my pets always have food & water, I also make sure they go outside to relieve themselves and just to get some exercise

“Haydn was wonderful with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. She kept us updated, followed instructions perfectly, and gave our pups lots of attention and love. We came home to happy dogs and everything exactly as we left it. We would absolutely trust her to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for a few years, mostly for close friends and family. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just keeping them company while their family is away, I’ve always treated pets as my own. I often help with housesitting and babysitting as well, so I’ve learned to also juggle multiple responsibilities. I’m back home for the summer from college, so my schedule is open! Aside from family responsibilities, I can be pretty flexible with dates or times! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their routines as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m not afraid to ask clarifying questions about your pets to ensure I am giving them the best care. :)

About: I'm definitely an animal magnet...I love being around animals. I will love and spoil them as if they are my own furbabies! They will never be left alone. I was born and raised around dogs and cats. I can’t imagine not having any furbabies in my home. I’d be lost. They are so loyal furbabies. I'm very flexible with my schedule. I'm usually available most of the time. I can do weekends and on Holiday, too. Just DM me! 🐶🐈🐾 My front and backyard are fenced and I do have a rail in the backyard for older dogs to walk down to go potty. I can definitely play with them while outside or even give them lots of cuddles! They will remain indoors with me at all times. I don’t believe in leaving them outside. That’s how spoiled they’d be if I was to babysit them. ♥️♥️

About: I've been surrounded by pets my entire life, giving me a deep understanding and a genuine passion for their care. From leisurely walks to cozy days in, I've extended my love and patience to not only my neighbors' pets but also to my own 4 cats and several local strays. My commitment to providing a nurturing, fun, and safe environment for pets is unwavering. I believe every pet deserves love and dedicated care, and I bring this philosophy to life with every furry friend I meet. Pet care is my main focus, allowing me to have an extremely flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. Because I manage my own hours, I can easily adapt to your dog’s or cat's specific routine, making sure they get their walks, meals, and potty breaks exactly when they are used to them. Whether you need early morning visits, midday dog walks, or someone dedicated to staying overnight at your house, I can structure my day perfectly around your pet’s needs to ensure they are never left waiting! Ensuring your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home is my absolute top priority. When staying at your place or doing drop-in visits, I maintain your pet's exact daily routine to prevent any anxiety, treating your home with the utmost respect and cleanliness. I am extremely detail-oriented with feeding schedules, medication (if needed), fresh water, and active potty breaks. Plus, I love keeping you close to your furry best friends by sending frequent photo and video updates throughout the day, so you can have total peace of mind while you are away!

About: Hello! My name is Julie. Let me tell you a little about us! At our canine and feline paradise of Sioux City Ranch, my husband Tim and I, make sure your four-legged family members are top priority. It’s been that way for five years and you can bet it will continue to be that way for many more. We LOVE DOGS! Across our expansive property of four acres, my husband and I provide dogs and cats (and horses) of all ages the space they need to stretch out and be comfortable. In addition to my work with Rover, I have many years of experience working with dogs both young and old, including special needs pets requiring scheduled medication and other accommodations. I have a certificate for canine first-aid and emergency procedures to better prepare myself for working with senior dogs and those spirited pups. Unless otherwise requested by you, your canine will have free reign of completely fenced our property. Both inside and out! We will never bring them to a dog park and expose them to the dangers of common diseases, like the many forms of parvovirus, and aggressive breeds. We have lots of comfy dog beds available, or you can bring your pup’s favorite! When your pet is with us, their comfort and health are our primary concern. Are you worried about the highly unlikely scenario of your pup running away? Upon request, we offer an optional dog tracking device ( Whistle brand) that allows us to locate them within minutes. However, I have never had the need to use it, as we supervise our charges when they are outside and inside. Your dog is truly under 24 hour supervision. I know what it’s like leaving your furry child with someone, unsure of what’s in store for their stay ahead. Rest assured, I will provide your dog or cat with what they need for a stay of relaxation, affection and entertainment. That includes: Plenty of running around and playing in our ½ acre fenced-in playyard Comfy and clean beds and mats Age-appropriate toys and rope tugs 24-hour supervision Lots of hugs and photo shoots 😊 For added convenience, we also offer: Pick-up and drop-off Overnight boarding Drop-in visits while you’re away We offer our pet-sitting service with the confidence that comes with raising six fur babies and raising and training Border Collies for more than 10 years. Each of our agility/herding dogs are well-behaved, house broken, obedience trained, and have either been prepped for the show pen or retired. We feel that our dogs are family, and you can bet we will treat yours like they’re one of ours. And yes, that extends to cats, as well! Please bring the following to your dog(s) overnight stay: Food with feeding instructions; Bed (optional) or something from home or favorite toy; Well fitted collar with ID tags and leash; and Crate if that’s what your dog is used to sleeping in (optional). I look forward to meeting you and your dog soon! My husband and I are both retired, so your dog will receive 24/7 care and attention. One or both of us are always home to care for your dog. I have a fenced and cross-fenced 1 acre area for the the dogs to play in. Your dogs will never be kenneled or caged. They will be provided ample opportunities for exercise and rest.

About: I was raised in a dog friendly family. I have taken care of dogs since my teenage years. I dog sit for family often. Dogs & Cats are family! I am a stay at home dog, cat, fish, and toddler mom. My daily schedule consist of rising early spending the morning outside with my animals. We like to tend to our yard and vegetable garden first. A trip to the park with my toddler and dog before it gets too hot is a must. My yard is fenced with brick at the end of a culdasec. We have one friendly dog and four cats. We all love being outside together. We travel as a pack. I feed the first meal around 6am and then usually open up the back door so the dog and cats can roam freely in the backyard. They like hanging in our veggie garden. Once my toddler wakes up we will go for a walk, play, or even go to the park. We love to pet and cuddle our animals throughout the day. We feed again around 5pm. Your dog or cat will get plenty of love while in my care. I want them to feel part of our family!
