About: Howdy y’all, I’m Effie, a 30 year old devoted pet lover and mother to a 4 year old Weimaraner and 3 year old GSP. High energy you may ask? No problemo, these 2 keep me on my feet with endless adventures and snuggles. From Dalmatians, Labs, German Shepherds, to my current babies, I’ve had the blessed opportunity to be around paws and noses since I could walk. Then when COVID hit I really sought a companion which is when I adopted Duke, my Weimi, and had the opportunity to train my beautiful gentle giant who is so smart, communicative, playful, and down right the perfect dog for any family. Shortly after we adopted our GSP, Clyde so that Duke could have a pawsome built-in companionship! It was double the playtime, and although a GSP has tons of energy, training in team mode really helped smooth the process as Duke mentored, allowing Clyde to learn and adjust as needed. Watching my babies bond, has warmed my heart on a daily basis and am excited to share this affection by providing a loving home for a pet in need of shelter or even a waggy walk! I’m currently unemployed, have been for the last several months after working in IT for 7 years. I’m at home most of the day with my 2 pups, so I have the time and space for more furry animals. I have a fenced in backyard, and puppy gate installed. I also am big on respecting routines, ensuring their needs have been met, they’ve had walks ans play time, as well as being fed on time!

“Maria did a great job taking care of my babies, which was a huge relief. It’s really hard to find someone trustworthy and reliable but Maria is that person. I’ll definitely request her again!”

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?)

I have experience caring for my friends, neighbors, and children's pets. I am THAT person that will see you and ask if I can pet your dog. :) I am a teacher, so I have the summer and holidays off.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs of all ages for 5+ years, including high-energy puppies and senior pets with special needs. I love all animals, including the ones that are a hand full. Lastly, I treat every pet like family, providing attentive care, playtime, and cuddles to make them feel loved. I’m always making sure I get everything I completed, and out of the way so that I can go entertain animals, and use my free time taking care of animals whenever I can. I ensure a safe, pet friendly environment with plenty of space to roam and play, secure fencing, and no harmful objects within reach. Caring for Pets in the Client’s Home: • Comfort of Familiarity: I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you do to maintain a sense of normalcy and reduce stress. • Household Respect: I treat your home with the utmost respect, ensuring it’s as clean and tidy as when you left. • Regular Updates: I keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can feel reassured while you’re away. • Extra Services: I’m happy to handle additional tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, or keeping an eye on your home while you’re gone.

About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life, I have trained all of the puppies my family has had. I have worked as a kennel tech for 6 months, so I can take care of dogs at any stages of life from puppies to senior dogs. Working at a kennel has taught me how to administer medication, read body language and notice if they are going to have a heat stroke since it does get pretty hot here in Texas. I work as a part time kennel tech so I can be able to take care of your furry friends anytime after 2:00pm so I have a pretty open schedule. I live on property that is fenced. We have multiple dogs on our property that are outside most of the time during the day. At clients homes I can make sure your dog does gets to go outside at least 5 times a day.

“Chealsea is so wonderful! My outdoor cat didn’t need as much tending to but with cold weather I definitely was glad she could get a look at her and make sure all was ok. Would book Chealsea again of course! Peace of mind with good check ins!”

Molly C.

“After being gone for a long day, and you come home to happy pups. There is no greater feeling than knowing that they have been loved and cherished by someone else when you were unable to spend your entire day with them! Shima not only ran around and played with my fur babies, but gave them the extra special attention and love that they cherish. I highly recommend Shima and will definitely hire her again for any future pet sitting services I may need!”

About: I have a Lab Akita Mix puppy currently but was a dog parent to a Great Pyrenees for over 5 years and understand the patience and time that is required to care for your pets especially when they are considered family. I also have experience caring for pet cats. I had several growing up and understand the important needs that they require to be happy and healthy. I have experience walking all sized dogs along with dog sitting since I would do it primarily for friends & family. I am very detail oriented and responsible with my pets to ensure that they are well taken care of. I love giving treats and cuddles to pets and enjoy activities to help mentally stimulate our pups as they developed! Please let me know and specific needs your pup may have and I’ll be happy to accommodate! I can’t wait to meet your fur baby!
