Pet Sitting Spenard

About: I've had companion dogs for most of my adult life. Usually two dogs at a time. My oldest dog was a Red Healer cattle dog who eventually became blind and deaf, living to be almost 19yo. I've also had Australian Shepherds (2) and Border Collies (2) and enjoy the smart dog challenge. I consider my experience well rounded from training puppies to caring for older dogs who have special needs. I love them all like they are one of a kind and deserve the best this life has to offer. Thank you in advance for considering me as part of your pet's care! I work during the day M-F close to home. Home on the weekends. Daily walks are provided with additional play time and potty breaks as needed. I have a fenced yard and usually accompany the dog outside so they are not alone in the yard. Play time also occurs in the fenced yard space. Dogs are free to roam the house and be part of our family while boarding but I also offer containment to an area of the house or crate if needed.

“Excellent communication and care! I will definitely book again!”

“Very nervous doing this for the first time but Madeleine is super reliable and great communicator. No complaints from Noodle either”

“Izabelle is very reliable and punctual. She sent pics of each visit and added an additional visit when our flight was delayed. I would recommend her for for your pets needs.”

Pamela S.

“My cat unfortunately he’s not always very friendly to other humans. She has diabetes and requires insulin shots every morning. Sinead has been so patient and willing to get to know Tiger. She has definitely gone the extra mile to make the visits successful!!”

About: Hi there! Life long Alaskan and animal lover. I grew up around dogs and cats my whole life, and love spending time with all animals. I have a bunny of my own as well! Love taking my family dogs out, playing with them, and just spending time with them. I work part time, so my schedule can be pretty flexible with notice. I love to go on daily walks anyways, so definitely would love to bring a pup out with me as well! I will treat your pets as if they are my own because I know how special they are to you! I treat my own pets with lots of love and affection, as well as attention.

About: I love dogs and I have been around and worked with them for 20 years. I have been housitting since I was a teenager. I am always respectful and I am good at matching the energy of pets. High energy pet? I love to play! Shy or low energy pet? I love to be calm and give dogs the space they need to get to know me. I work full time M-F and am happy to spend the rest of my time with your pet. I am comfortable with both high and low energy dogs, and I'm comfortable with any medications or special diets that may be required. I am comfortable following the rules of your home and cleaning up after myself. On walks, I prefer going where your dog is comfortable (trails and neighborhoods they already know) and avoid other animals to keep your dog safe.

“Ms. Catherine is a very kind person. Even after messing up the booking and needing her to visit are pets for a little longer. She didn’t hesitate to help us out. I recommend anyone to ask her to watch your pets if possible.”

“Olga has taken great care of our visually impaired cats every time. She is always reliable and is a great communicator. I would recommend her without any hesitation.”

About: I got a golden doodle when I was very young. Ever since then I’ve had a huge love for dogs and all animals. I’ve grown up with one, we got a second one shortly after. We basically had a mini farm at home, including ducks and bunnies. Once I moved out of my parents house I got a cat and a border collie/Australian Shepherd mix. I’ve been around animals all of my life. And I couldn’t imagine life without them. I work a full-time job Monday through Thursday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM with an hour lunch. I work Fridays from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM. I usually go home for lunch to make sure all pets are cared for. After work, I usually stay home for the rest of the night. I live in an apartment on the second floor with a balcony. It is a very safe environment. And cozy place. It is in a closed balcony, so there is no risks of animals falling off. I have two different windows that are big and both open for fresh air.

“Lauren is amazing with our crew! She gave the kitten extra attention and all the cats were happy. Never have to worry about them when we are away.”

Janette W.

“Rachel was amazing and professional and I felt totally comfortable leaving my pet in her hands! Would definitely recommend and plan to rebook! Loved all the pics and updates I got and it helped me relax knowing she was taking care of him”

Haley S.

“Shelley helped us out when I was in a pinch for a drop in on our poor pup who was in a cone after an injury! Shelley was great and took amazing care of Dash with his extra needs and kept me updated with pictures and updates”

Paulina P.

“Highly recommend Krystina! She was kind, great to communicate with, and was so thoughtful to bring our packages inside when she checked in on our kitty. Our cat sometimes has trouble warming up to new people but we could tell from the pictures that she was happy to be around Krystina and enjoyed all the attention :)”

Irish N.

“Natalie was amazing! She was so kind and flexible with our plans. She took wonderful care of our pet and supplied terrific pet photos from her visits. Thank you, Natalie!!”

Donnie S.

“Jacob was amazing! He took great care of our dog Dex while we were out of town. He took care of everything just as we had discussed and even spent time with our cats during his visits. Our very moody cat who doesn't like many people even liked Jacob. I would without a doubt recommend Jacob to anyone.”

Martin M.

“This was my first experience with Rover and I worry Alex has spoiled me. She was so responsive and kind from the first messages. She scheduled a meet and greet with the cats and it was great to meet her before handing over the house keys. Our finicky cats warmed up quickly to her which put my mind at ease while I was away. She gave us in depth Rover report cards with lots of pictures and info. I will definitely book Alex again in the future for cat sitting needs. I only hope she’ll have availability in her schedule since she’s so booked and busy!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals and have taken care of pets for family and friends. My family had all sorts of pets including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and salamanders. You name it! I can’t say I’ve seen it all, but I believe I’m well equipped to care for your pets. Please reach out with any questions you have for me! I work a seasonal job, so my hours vary. Some weeks I work 8-4 while other weeks I’m totally free! Let me know when you need a pet sitter/caregiver and I will do my best to make it work. I am happy to care for your pets in whatever manner you believe is best for them. I can take them for walks or give them special medication. Whatever they need!

About: I grew up having and takin care of pets. I have 5 cats and 2 dogs (can't board pets!). I love animals and will do anything to keep them safe and happy! I can work with puppies, kittens, adult dogs and cats, even senior dogs and cats. I enjoy relaxing or playing with a pet and creating that special bond with them because having a connection with an animal can feel really special and it's eye-opening. I can pet sit in your home Sun-Thurs. On Mondays and Thursdays, I do have classes to attend from 3:30-6:30 so I will be unavailable during those times. I'd like to be full-time pet sitter at this moment :). I cannot have pets come to my home since I am living with family, we have our own pets and we don't want to risk any conflicts or issues. During the weekends (Fri-Sun) I’m usually at home to study, babysit my little cousins and my volunteer at the local cat shelter. I make sure doors and windows, anything, are locked so that pets don't escape. They tend to be curious of the outside world and would want to explore it however they can be eaten or ran over by a car and I'd hate to break that sad news to the fur baby's parents. I also make sure no tiny, swallow-able objects are on the ground so that pets don't accidentally eat it and potentially harm their insides. I also approach in a slow, calming manner so that the pet can trust and start building interest in me.
