About: I’ve always had pets growing up- dogs, cats, goats, and horses. I got into FFA in high school and showed pigs through out. Out of high school, I became a vet tech, became certified and did that for 4 years, and while I loved the medical and treatment side of that, I decided it wasn’t for me. I went on to help people work with the behaviors in their pups and have 6+ years of experience in that! My schedule is pretty flexible! As long as I have at least 3 days notice, I should be able to make it fit into my calendar! I have a smaller fenced area for the dogs to potty in for a quick break and 2 acres for them to play on supervised. I have 4 dogs myself so they would get to interact with them (as long as owners are comfortable with that), but I would also be rotating them throughout the visit to give them the space they need. They would need to be crate trained for staying in my home.
“Lisa did an excellent job taking care of our pup!”
“Payton is amazing! She stayed in my home with her pup and my 5 dogs and 3 kitties and did such a great job with everyone. Several pets have special needs and she gave medications and was very communicative throughout her stay, sending pictures, updates, feedback on behavior, and updates on household items that may need to be replenished. She left my home very clean and I would ask her back any time.”
“Stacey did a great job with my dogs. One likes a lot of attention and she was able to balance everything nicely. She'll be great with you fur babies.”
“Alyssa took such great care of our Lacy! I appreciated her efforts to get her to eat (Lacy gets a little anxious when we leave her) and the timely updates. Definitely will use Alyssa again!!!”
“Treka was wonderful. She had dog sat in our house for our puppy that is less than 6 months old. She took care of our dog like it was hers. She even trained our dog to not come Out of the playpen till she says okay come. I highly recommend hiring her for your next drop ins or dog sitting! Thank you so much Treka!!”
About: ✳️ No holiday upcharge ✳️Guaranteed daily check-ins and photos for all stays While I am new to Rover, I am extremely familiar with dogs. I foster with 2 different non profit agencies and actually have 3 pups of my own. Aka the stooges or the 3 musketeers as I call them. My own dogs range in size from 13lbs to 105lbs and in age from 3 years to 9 years. All were raised from a puppy stage so I have experience with that stage, too. DOGS LIKE TO LEARN: I am not a professional trainer but have taken what I’ve learned from putting my own 3 through training and applied to foster and visiting pups. You’re welcome to pick something from the list and I’d be happy to start the training with your dog on these! This includes the following: - walking on a dedicated side when in leash (you pick left or right) - heel - sit - place ( huge on this since it allows dogs to settle their anxiousness) - short distance recall - whistle training - clicker training - treat training - spin - roll over - army crawl - leave it - off - take it - break (release from place) - paw - kennel - lay down - drop it - wait (helpful for dogs who like to rush out the door before you) - watch me (helps me out eye contact and focus) - sit before owner opens kennel YOUR PUP: will be treated as one of my own with any additional instructions you provide. I have a full time work from home job that allows me to be with my dogs as much as I’d like. I work my schedule around my dogs meaning I workout when it’s their exercise time or I run errands during their usual down time. I rarely if ever watch tv because I end up spending so much time with my pups routine and care. I truly enjoy it! My home: I have a quarter acre fenced property with a huge covered patio for dogs to enjoy in shade. There are child gates set up within my home to keep dogs in designated areas. This ensures my pups or fosters have access to water stations and dog door for yard access when needed. Yes, I have a dog door that accommodates for dogs up to 130lbs. I have 3 water stations set up in my home and dedicated kennels for our larger and smaller pups when needed. If needed, I am Happy to crate my pups while yours is being cared for in my mentioned care rotation. They are very used to both kennel and out of kennel routines as I have had foster dogs in my home. For dogs with mobility issues that still want to get out and about, I have a dog trailer / stroller that allows them to lay inside a shaded area while still seeing the outdoors. Your home: house sitting and check-ins include more than just your pups care and I’m happy to offer these: - Check mail / sign for any packages - plant care - lights to leave on - any light household chores (vacuum, dishes, laundry, surface cleaning, trash takeout) - being present for any home maintenance appts while you’re away (to match scheduled stay) - communicating w/ any visitors while you’re away (want me to lie to your nosey neighbors? Need me to tell a regular solicitor some info?)
About: I give every pet the constant attention it needs, always being patient, loving and enthusiastic. I enjoy walking and playing with animals helping them feel safe, happy, and loved. I am on summer break and am looking for some extra work to pick up. I am available and pet sitting easily fits into my routine daily and weekly. I offer in-home care, to help your pets feel safe and stress-free. I will treat your home with the same respect as I do your pets.
About: I have been house-sitting/pet-sitting for about ten years now! I am able to work weekends and i have a very flexible schedule. I would love to treat your pet to the best care! Pet care fits into my weekly routine with ease. I have very few responsibilities, as I am home from college, and would love to fully commit myself to pet care! I care for my pets personally to the highest quality of care I can provide. I currently have a 5 year old dog and 14 year old one. I accommodate to the 14 year old ones dietary and physical restrictions daily, and am sure to give them all equally a lot of TLC! I take this attitude when I take care of others pets as well.
