Pet Sitting in Shaw

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and my world has always revolved around them. I have a 14-year-old Shiba Inu named Ginger, a 2-year-old cat named Frankie, and a 6-month-old kitten named Theo who I love more than anything. I have experience with animals of all ages, from puppies and kittens to seniors. I know how stressful it is for pets and parents when you have to leave town, but I’m dedicated to doing whatever I can to keep your pets happy and comfortable in your absence. I have a super flexible remote job, so I’m able to work around your pets’ schedules and needs! It’s super important to me that your pets maintain their routine even when you’re gone. I’m super flexible when it comes to petcare arrangements. I have three pets of my own, but can offer boarding for fully vaccinated animals. If your pet is friendly and comfortable, I’m happy to let them socialize if you’d like, but I can also arrange a separate, private bedroom when boarding to keep your pet isolated if needed. I work remotely, so I’m home all day to keep your pet company. If you’d prefer drop-in visits, I have a super flexible schedule!

“Alisa was the absolute best to work with! She was always on time and incredibly flexible if there were any changes. She was also really on top on communication, so I always felt like I was in the know. Will definitely be using Alisa in the future instead of boarding from now on.”

“I have three dogs. They are a handful. I had never left my youngest Morkie, Josie before and was anxious about leaving her. Olivea did a great job with my three dogs and assuring me that Josie was doing well. The communications, pictures, and care were great. Thank you, Olivea.”

“Lana did a great job with our dog Kaya! Lana came to come meet her prior to her drop-in visits and Kaya instantly made a new friend :) Definitely recommend Lana and will book her again in the future!”

“Shannon was able to jump in on an emergency basis and take care of my dogs when I had a last-minute request. She did a great job, considering my freaky pups, and impressed me with her communication. Highly recommend!”

“Abigail will be our #1 animal caregiver going forward. With less than a week until our wedding, Knight (our 9-month old mini goldendoodle) developed a mild case of kennel cough. Since boarding was no longer an option, we hopped on Rover and found Abigail. She came over to meet Knight and the cats, and went above and beyond our expectations. Knight had frequent visits, lots of play sessions, and tons of attention while he was at home. Abigail administered medicine, and we came home to a happy and healthy puppy (all courtesy of Abigail). We recommend Abigail unconditionally and trust her in our home with our fur babies anytime.”

Paul and Kara B.

“Abigail did a fantastic job of taking care of our 4 feline boys for a week. One of our guys has some special needs and she excelled in his care giving. You could tell from the photos and videos that the fur balls really appreciated her visits. Will definitely use her again when the need arises. Highly recommended.”

About: When looking at restaurants most people look to see if there’s outdoor seating, I look to see if it’s pet friendly. I’ve been around and working with dogs my whole life. I currently live in a house full of fur babies (3 dogs and 2 cats). I’m currently training one of our dogs to be our hiking dog on extended camping trips. Another one of our dogs is my running companion. My partner is also a veterinarian, so I have constant exposure to animals with medical and advanced needs. At the moment I am available full time for your pet, with AM/PM availability Monday to Friday. Some weekends are available with at least a week’s advanced notice. When asked to pet sit I don’t just stop by to check in but also take the time to give them the attention they deserve, whether it’s giving them pets or simply throwing a ball.

About: I have been pet sitting since my freshman year of college, and am now in my 30s. I am especially good with older dogs who need special care - even hand feeding or adjusting what they eat for their digestive systems to handle on a given day. Let me handle them and I'll make sure they know they're loved! When the alarm goes off at 5:30 every morning, I take our two labs downstairs to go outside, and then it's back up to the kitchen for breakfast. They spend the day with my husband, and then I take them outside before bed. They are my whole world! My biggest goal is to make sure I abide by your pet's routine and disrupt their schedule as little as possible. Our animals trust us, and I never take that trust for granted.

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and small mammals (Rabbits, Guinea pigs) since I was 5. I have also dog and cat sat for family and friends before. I have some animal training experience as well. I will be earning my B.S. in Animal Sciences in May and am starting Veterinary School in August. Through my undergraduate education I have have learned a lot about animal welfare, husbandry, and science. Pet care is something I do daily when taking care of my dog, cat, and two rabbits. I am excited to incorporate this job as a break in my academic schedule by playing with some cute pets : ) -walks: I can walk your animal around your area or if preferred I could take them to different parks/trails. I will also make sure the animal has plenty of water in their habitat. -drop in’s: I will come visit your pet, make sure they have plenty of food/water, take them out to go potty, play with them, pet them, give belly rubs, etc. For a small extra charge I can also: Feed them if needed, and/or change the litter box if needed. I can also administer topical, oral, intramuscular, and subcutaneous medications. Personally, I have an elderly diabetic dog so I am very familiar with medications and injections. I am also very familiar with behavior and abnormal signs and will contact you if I notice anything out if the ordinary. I can also send a picture of your pet each time I see them if requested: )

“Lydia did great with Topaz and sent updates on how she was doing. I loved that she came over to meet Topaz and ask questions about her before hand. Would definitely recommend Lydia and use her services again!”

Whitney P.

“Always stayed in touch and showed up when supposed to. Was very interactive with the dogs and they seemed to like her a lot.”

About: I have cared for animals my entire life. Friends and family rely on me to walk, stay with, play with and care for their animals as I would my own. I grew up with pets and have been the sole caregiver for mine for 8 years. I have 2 cats and 1 dog. I consider them my children and would treat yours with the same respect and care. I work full-time 9-5 but I am fully remote so I have flexibility to step away! I am available weeknights and weekends as well. Will work with you to best accommodate your pet. Upon entry to my clients home, I would safely secure the entrance to ensure the pet did not escape and no one else accessed the property. I would lovingly great your pet with lots of cuddles and kisses. If I am walking, I would apply the proper safety harness/collar and walk the dog for your desired duration, ensure all bathroom breaks are made. I would return your pet safely and secure the home before departure. If I am staying to play, I would let the pet outside in the approved area for bathroom breaks and use the provided toys to enrich your pet for the desired duration. I would secure the home before departure. In both instances, I would leave your pet with an empty bladder and full heart.

“Caitlyn is fantastic! I have a very shy “scaredy cat” and let Caitlyn know she may not see him at all during her drop ins. Mid way through the week, she had him coming to greet her and playing with her!”

“Excellent. Kalia was prompt and sent pics everyday. Jalani loved her!”

John L.

“This was our first time using Macee. She was great. Took great care of our two dogs and administered the needed meds. We will definitely use her again.”

Marsha F.

“Dustin (and Jordan!) dropped in on our two pups this weekend and were great! They offered a meet and greet earlier in the week. Each time they came by, we received a summary of the visit and pictures of the dogs playing fetch, hanging on the couch, or chewing the bones we asked Dustin to give them one night. Dustin also brought in a package that arrived. We will definitely use them again next time!”

Emily Z.

“Hannah dropped by twice while I was on an extended day trip. She was prompt and professional and left great notes and pictures. Gracie, Moses and I liked her immediately at the meet and greet. I feel confident my babies were well taken care of and would love to have Hannah care for them again!”

About: I have a great deal of experience working with various breeds of dogs. Most of my work has been with rescue animals. I am very patient with animals and put them first while they are in my care. I provide the level of care that I would expect for my fur baby. I can taylor my schedule to fit their needs. I have experience with gerbils, chinchillas, sugar gliders, and birds! I have a three bedroom home with one dog. I am more than willing to watch your pet in my home or travel to yours. I can provide clean food/water bowls, a clean pet bed, and a large size indoor kennel. I do allow my dog on the couch and bed and yours is welcome to do the same. However, my rules are your rules. Therefore if you prefer if your pet not to be allowed on furniture let me know so that I do not start any bad habits. While animals are in my care I will only provide them with food and treats that I get from the owner to avoid any allergies or diet issues. I am very active so I will take your pet on leashed walks, hikes, car rides, and runs! Let me know your preference and I will be sure to accommodate the needs of your pet.

“Kelsey is our go-to Rover sitter. She is awesome with our dogs and does a great job communicating with us about everything during her visits.”
