Pet Sitting in Surprise Valley

“Pam did a fabulous job looking after our 2 kitties. She filled out the Rover card and we got to see daily updates of both pets. She communicated thoroughly yet concisely of what occurred during her visit. 100% recommend her, and we will be booking cat sitting with her again!”

About: I've had pets in the home since age 1, and have been helping to take care of them since I could walk. I've always loved animals, and began volunteering at animal shelters, walking, bathing, and feeding shelter dogs beginning at age 5. I have worked in the field of veterinary medicine since 2023, and have a working knowledge of many medical and behavioral issues. I am comfortable caring for cats and dogs of any size, administering medications, walking reactive dogs, and more. I am also trained in canine CPR and first aid, in case of emergencies. I'm currently working from home, with the ability to bring my work on the road, so I have the flexibility to accommodate the needs of each individual fur family! I currently provide services in the client's home only. I will ask for a rundown of of your pet's daily feeding/walking/play schedule, and do my best to make your fur baby feel at ease while under my care with lots of playtime, cuddles and love; and maintaining their usual routine while you're away!

“Sarah did a great job as always!”

About: Skilled in puppy training, senior dog care, and administering oral medication. I'd love to engage a playtime with dogs, get some regular exercise time together and provide a stress-free environment to ensure every pup feels safe and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, ensuring dogs get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s morning walks, play sessions, or cuddle time, I prioritize their well-being. I tailor my schedule to fit each pet’s needs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra care. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensuring they receive regular walks, meals, and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their familiar routine, keeping them comfortable and stress-free. Whether in my home or theirs, I offer personalized care, playtime, and companionship to keep pets happy and healthy.

“Samantha was a quick study, efficient, kind, and was able to touch my skittish cat at first meeting! I was so worried but she took my worries away and was so happy to get her reassuring words and pic while I was away. I was also happy to learn Sam is a local which provided even more assurance and even though I live a ways out she was willing to travel to me where others I contacted all said I was out of their area. I really liked her and my kitty Jack did as well, straightforward and got the job done. Thanks Sam, you were a life saver!”

About: Greeting, My name is Helen. I’ve recently completed my contract in the military. During my time in the service I spent time caring for my colleagues dogs (I do love cats, but I’m allergic) and found myself actually branching out to others when they needed someone to watch their babies. I grew up always having a dog in our family, and know how important they are as family members. Their unconditional love is something I’ve always cherished, and it would be my joy and honor to care for your fur babies whenever. My schedule is flexible, and I am available often. It’s really not a hardship spending time with loving pups. I do have experience with pets that have special needs. I look forward to hearing from you and your fur members.

“Thank you for checking in on my babies. Great job as usual!”

“Gretchen is wonderful! She offered to come by and meet us beforehand, and she seems super trustworthy and like a cool and smart person - definitely someone you can trust with your pets and your home! Gretchen sent daily pictures and a nice recap of the visit, and even took extra steps to solve a problem on my end. We will be asking her to watch our cat whenever we can get her! PS: She even cleaned the litter box... come on.”

“Nikki stayed with Lucy for several hours and took her on a nice walk. She also provided me with updates and pictures. Lucy can be high energy but Nikki handled her well”

About: (TWO PEOPLE USING ACCOUNT ME AND MY BF) We both been taking care of our own animals and family members since the age of 9, I love animals with a passion and I will spoil them with affection care and maybe a few treats <3 My pet care has seamlessly become an integral part of my daily routine since childhood. As a pet enthusiast, I dedicate ample time and attention to nurture and care for our furry companions. Each morning, I wake up eager to tend to their needs, starting with feeding and providing fresh water. Throughout the day, I incorporate playtime and interactive sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. During midday lulls, I set aside moments to engage in bonding activities, ensuring they feel loved and cherished. Evenings are dedicated to additional play, grooming, and relaxation, allowing our pets to unwind. By creating a structured routine, I maintain consistency in their care, which in turn fosters a strong and trusting relationship with our beloved pets. Without the confines of a job, I cherish the privilege to spend quality time with our furry friends, providing them with all the care and attention they deserve.

About: My entire life has been dogs, dogs, dogs! I also have other animal experience, such as chickens, goats, horses, cats, parrots, etc I have experience in whelping and rearing litters, training and building confidence in puppies and adults, house training, manners trainings, lead training, etc. I use balanced methods, while heavily leaning on positive reinforcement, but always adjust to the dogs in front of me. I have also had a few years of rescue and rehab experience, particularly with cats and puppies. I'm experienced with working dogs, large dogs, small dogs, and definitely giants! I'd like to think puppies are my specialty. I also have a bit of formal education. Let's work together! My own dogs are my world, and I am constantly trying to do better by them. I am always teaching out to peers to get their recommendations/opinions, and talk about training, care, nutrition, etc . I have working bred dogs, so sometimes our days don't look the same, and offering enrichment and exercise is super important. I also have four cats of my own, as well as two Chihuahuas. My male Chihuahua has mobility issues, and that has been a learning curve for both of us! My life pretty much revolves around them, in the best ways. I follow instructions laid out for me to my best of my ability. I like to take it slow, and help your pets be comfortable. New people can be scary for some pets, and we went to make the experiences as positive as possible. The goal is a lot of fun, and being safe! I also want to add, I am incredibly LgtqiA+, and disabled persons friendly!

“She was fantastically communicative, detail oriented, and displayed real affection for all animals, including my pets. She was careful, punctual, responsive, literally everything you’d ever want in a pet sitter. I feel lucky I found her!”

“Tom has been doing a fantastic job! He deserves five stars. Will definitely use them again and again, it's great to find someone who cares for your dog , And your dog cares for him.”

About: I currently work at the local veterinarian clinic, so I have the staff there as a resource in case I need them. I have a crazy passion for animals especially dogs! I was raised on a ranch and my grandpa was a horse trainer. I believe it runs in my blood and I’m looking for an opportunity to grow in the pup community! I love dogs and am constantly researching effective ways in training and improving the quality of life in our best friends! I would love nothing other than to work with these amazing animals for the rest of my life. Also making it easier for others to enjoy their lives with their companions as well. I have taught a few pups manners and basic tricks. I’ve also researched a lot of training regimens. I pay attention to detail and behavior and keep an eye on their daily activities with a caring and patient sensibility. I currently work 40 hours at the local veterinary clinic but I made sure to set my schedule to my days off so that I can provide as much time to your fur friend as possible. I’m also willing to be flexible on certain things, basically just message me and we can try to work something out! 😊 I have a fenced yard, access to crates and dog gates. Not to mention the access to the local clinic that I work at in case there are any emergencies. I have and am currently studying Canine body language and have a keen eye for anything that might pose as a threat to our loved ones.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, raising litters of puppies, caring for my own pets, and dog sitting for friends and family. I even took a veterinary science course and was on track to graduate as a vet tech, so I know how to give pets the love they deserve while keeping them safe and healthy. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or walks, I treat every dog like my own. I’m available anytime between now and September 15. I leave for college the 20th. I have free weeks and weekends so anytime I’m needed I’m available! I have a fenced yard and 2 dogs myself. One is older and more cranky so I would prefer to sit in the clients home but If not we can figure something out! I have 3 cats at my house as-well.

About: I don’t remember a time that I haven’t had a animal in my life.Beyond that I have fostered animals and have usually adopted them. I live on 2 acres that includes 2 goats, chickens and four dogs. Two of my dogs are seniors with special needs. I have house sit dogs and actually ended up keeping one because the dog fell in love with me and his owner didn’t want him to be depressed without me. That would would be Brutis I am currently working part time during the week so I prefer weekends to sit in. That would be Friday after 8 AM until Monday at 4 PM I have a fenced yard on 2 acres if extended stay is needed. I am more than willing to take your dogs or cats to veterinary appointments if necessary. If at your home I will try and keep pet in a routine they are accustomed too.

About: I've cared for dogs and cats since I was a kid. I also know emergency medicine. I was a Veterinary Tecnician and worked at the ER. I am semi retired so have a lot of free time which affords me the opportunity to be available on twenty four hours notice for you. I will always have your pet under constant supervision and can easily crate them if necessary for their comfort and safety. I would never leave them unattended.

“Sara was very nice and easy to communicate with. She handled my cats complicated med and food routine with no issues.”

About: I’ve been taking care of friends and families dogs since I was 16 years old. I have had my own dogs my whole life. My current dog is a 9 year old German Shepherd named Nala. I have had her since she was 6 weeks. My fiancé and I have had many family friends leave their puppies with us for a week or so and we potty train them! I am a full time grad student at USC (virtually) and I currently work from home part time. I am very active, I work out 5-6 days a week, therefore, long walks excite me for some cardio! I will follow ALL directions that are provided. If a dog needs to be crated, left in a specific room, bowls filled, medications provided, toys in reach, anything that is asked of me I will make sure to do it as the comfort and safety of the dog is my first and only priority. I will stop on walks to provide breaks, water, treats, etc. I will follow all direction re interaction with other animals, walking route, picture updates, etc.
