Pet Sitting Silver Valley

About: I can remember owning pets for my entire life and I have been helping care for animals of all kinds for over 40 years. I have experience with puppies, elderly pets, and everything in between. I have also owned and cared for pets with special needs. I am typically available daily to help care for pets. Rover is my only job, allowing me to pursue my passion in caring for dogs and cats. I have a very flexible schedule and will happily discuss last minute bookings and try to fit them in. At this time I am providing drop in visits at the client's home. I have over 40 years of experience in caring for animals, and I have cared for a wide variety. I am comfortable caring for dogs of any age up to 40lbs, and cats of any age. Meet and greet are preferred to allow the pets to recognize me when I come to care for them. I am always happy to discuss any special needs your pet may have, and provide them the best care possible! I will treat them like my own.

About: What sets me apart is the personal care and attention I give to every pet. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m patient and comfortable with energetic, larger dogs and different personalities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and comfort level rather than treating every dog the same. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to send photos and updates during visits so you can have peace of mind. I’m also attentive to details like feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable in their normal environment. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I work Monday-Friday during the day, so I primarily provide pet care on weekdays in the evenings after 5pm. I am more available on weekends. This schedule allows me to give pets my full attention during the time I’m available. I’m available for weekday evening walks and drop-in visits, as well as weekend walks, and drop-ins. I keep my Rover calendar updated so pet parents can easily see when I’m available. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so dog walking is a natural fit for my routine. I’m happy to work around each pet’s normal schedule and provide dependable, one-on-one attention. I provide pet care primarily in the pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their family is away. During walks and drop-in visits, I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and any other daily routines. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention and affection during each visit. I’m also happy to provide photo and message updates so you can see how your pets are doing. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own home, and I always leave things clean and secure when I leave.

“I'm very pleased with the services that Tricia G provided for us. This was something very new to us cause we normally have family to help out but they wasn't available at the time. But I can say that I would recommend her to anyone that needs service and we would most definitely us her again. Thanks so much Tricia we greatly appreciate it.”

About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I am also insured! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.

About: Your pets are family, and they deserve the same care, attention, and affection they receive at home. I provide dependable, genuine pet care with a personal touch—treating every dog like they’re my own. I rescued my sweet girl Hashbrown when she was just a tiny puppy, cared for friends and family pets my entire life.I enjoy animals and their company plain and simple. I’m currently available M-F after 2pm for all your pet care needs. I can make myself available for extended care throughout the week if necessary and can do overnight stay as well. We have a decent sized fenced in back yard and a very friendly small breed puppy, so your puppy will feel very welcome. I am confident in my ability to care for your pup and their needs!

About: I am a dog lover. I grew up with dogs and have 5 of my own they are all rescue babies! My babies would would say they are spoiled to death. “ I say I live and work for them.” I become mama bear when it comes to my babies. I would do the same for yours. My babies are all different ages from 3 to 9 years old. I would give them the same love and treats the way I do with my own. Pets hold a very special place in my heart. I am available mostly nights and weekends. I work full time until 4. I am available most federal holidays as well with the type of work I do. I would come to your home to care for your baby so they are comfortable in their surroundings.I know how it feels when you take them out of their environment. I have experience with my own dogs and I made a decision not to do that. Being in normal environment will be less stressful when people need them to be watched. Less stress happy fur baby.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I have experience training puppies in basic commands like sit, stay, come, and leash manners. I provide a calm, structured environment and pay close attention to each dog’s needs, whether that’s playtime, routine, or extra patience. My goal is to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home most of the day and able to give dogs consistent attention and care. Occasionally I may step out briefly, but dogs are never left alone for long and can be safely crated if needed. I live on a quiet property with a large yard and a long private driveway, giving dogs plenty of space to walk and explore safely. While my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is supervised and/or on leash for safety. I also have the ability to crate if needed and always prioritize a safe, controlled environment for every dog.

About: I am a pet sitter with a flexible schedule and have experience volunteering at a pet shelter. I would love to learn more about different breeds and unique and better ways to care for them I can do pet care daily morning or night. I live along with my mom so your pet will be supervised all hours of the day. I do not do boarding due to me living at a college dorm. Dropping in on a clients home I will be very careful of my surroundings and kindly approach your pet with grace and patience.

“Makai was AMAZING!! He kept us updated the whole time and sent us the cutest pictures of our two kittens. He was kind enough to bring in some packages that were delivered to our house while we were away. We will definitely book Makai again!!”

About: My experience for the last 7 years has been raising and training working search and rescue dogs. I also have a combined 10 years of volunteering and fostering with rescues and animal shelters. I especially love caring for senior dogs ensuring they are given their best years with the love and grace they deserve. As my jobs for the last 12 years have been working from home, I have time to also take care of your pets! My 3 dogs and 1 cat are my family and I understand the trust you need for me to take care of your family as well. If your dog is staying with me, they will enjoy 13 fenced-in acres with supervised exploration and playtime. When not outside playing, they will stay in my home with me. I also have heavy duty indestructible crates for those that need the extra help staying in their crate!

About: I have cared for many of my own pets over the years! I have a passion for helping animals, all of the pets I have owned have been rescues of some kind. I look forward to taking care of your pets and having fun with them. Most of the time we truly don’t deserve their unwavering love, but taking care of them is very important! I have experience with dogs of many sizes and breeds. I volunteer for dog walks at a local shelter every chance I get, and I look forward to playing with and taking your animals outside! I am most experienced with dogs, but love pets of all kinds. Also I think it is very important to respect the animals space and home 😊

About: I’m a new graduate Physician Assistant with some time before starting my new job, and I’d love to spend that time caring for your pets! I’ve been a dog owner for 15 years, caring for my two Shih Tzu/Maltese mixes, and I also have experience caring for my own cat. I’m comfortable with all the everyday responsibilities that come with pet care, including walks, feeding, keeping litter boxes clean, and making sure pets get plenty of attention, love, and cuddles. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love being around animals. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! As a recent physician assistant graduate, I’m currently in the period of waiting for my professional licensing to be finalized. This gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and routines. I’m also flexible and able to commute to provide care in your home or take your pet for walks and outings. I’d love to use this time to spend more time with animals and provide reliable, attentive, and loving care while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific needs or preferences their pet may have. I’m respectful of the home and always make sure the space is clean and secure before I leave. I also enjoy giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pet is doing well.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, I’ve trained 2 puppies myself to be potty trained, sit and speak.

I am currently working part time so that means I will have plenty of time to play with and take care of your dog! -madeline I do not have a fenced in yard but there are safe places to walk your dog and there’s a dog park that my dogs love to go too and my dogs can keep your pups company!

About: I grew up raising all different types of animals (birds, rabbits, dogs, lizards) and consider my pets my family. I have about 5 years of paid experience caring for pets and I have a cat of my own. :) I'm currently working from home and I have much free time during the day to make drop in visits or stay for a few hours/overnight as needed.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for family pets and about 7 years of hands on experience training and caring for my own dogs. I currently have a small Maltese/Yorkie mix and i understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs. I’m naturally fun and high functioning energy, so I’m comfortable keeping up with active dogs, but I’d say patience is one of my biggest strengths. Working in healthcare has taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and compassion are, and I bring that same approach when caring for animals. I work PRN(as needed) in healthcare, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. My availability can vary week to week, but I’m able to plan my schedule around pet care and make sure your pet gets plenty of playtime, walks, and companionship. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with access to a dog park, a large open field directly in front of my complex, and several nearby walking trails. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of opportunities for exercise and outdoor time. I’ll also follow any routines, feeding instructions, or special care preferences you provide so your pet feels as comfortable and safe as possible.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of pet sitting for others for many years. From puppies who are still training to seniors who need lots of extra care. I grew up around dogs and cats in my youth from our beloved Shetland sheepdog who we enjoyed 12 years with to taking in strays and fostering dogs and cats for periods of time. In my adulthood, I’ve raised my mixed breed, Louie, since he was 4 weeks old, and he just turned 7. I look forward to caring for your animals in whatever way is helpful! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time during the week to care for (or just hang out with) your furry friends! In addition, I have most weekends available for pet care from pet sitting at your residence to walks, feeding, etc. For me, pets are family, and that means my top priority is maintaining their safety. From our initial interaction, I want you to feel confident that I will do everything in my power to keep your animals protected and loved. I hope to be an extension of the care and love provided by their owners!
