Pet Sitting Tenney-Lapham

About: Eric and Rachel share a love for their beloved Aussie-beagle Lilo and fostering rescue dogs together. We know that it is never easy to leave your beloved dog with someone new, and in a new place. As our own Lilo has struggled with separation anxiety before, we know how important it is to have a pet sitter who is present, patient, and able to cater their care towards a dog’s specific needs. Rachel has taken care of 6 different family dogs growing up, including a border collie, golden retriever, Boston terrier, 2 mixed breeds and a silky terrier. Eric has taken care of his family dog (chihuahua minpin) since birth till now (11 years old). Together, we have fostered 22 rescue dogs these past two years, ranging from a high energy Great Pyrenees to 3 Border Collie puppies all at once, to a completely afraid and anxious Beagle mama and Shiba Inu mama that are recovering from very difficult situations. We have also looked after American pit bulls, large Newfoundlands and a Rhodesian Ridgeback, and senior doggies who have hip difficulties and special diets. Our own dog is a 3.5 year old Aussie-beagle, so we particularly love the herding dogs. :) We both have lots of experience working with dogs of all kinds of temperaments and needs, especially high energy dogs who require a lot of attention and care, and administering medication to dogs who have special needs. Rachel also loves cooking her home cooked meals for her dog, and can do that for yours too, if you need! We both work from home and have all weekends free. Our flexible schedules together allows us to bring dogs regularly on walks and to look after them consistently. We follow instructions really well, and can take care of your dog according to your requirements. We allow dogs to roam and sleep freely in our home, but we can also crate your dog easily if you prefer. We know how to work with your dog with lots of gentle care and love.

“Keezing is incredible as always! It’s hard for us to find someone who we are comfortable leaving our dogs with, and he gives us absolute peace of mind when he’s taking care of our dogs! I would highly recommend him!”

McKenna M.

“I could not recommend Megan more! She is lovely, sends great updates, wonderfully silly and also genuinely great pictures, and, best of all, my cat warmed up to her in a way that she has not warmed up to anyone else! Overall, I have absolutely nothing negative to say and I am so grateful that Megan was so great with my cat!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was old enough to know what a pet was, whether it’s my own, a neighbor’s, or a friend/family member’s. I love animals, and am considering going into vet work! I have experience with both puppies/kittens and seniors as well :). I can walk, feed, give meds, and do anything you need! I’m a full-time student during the week, but I will always have time to drop-in, or stay overnight. I’m very flexible with my scheduling, so I will happily do whatever you and your pet need! While I can’t offer boarding at my home because I have four roommates, I will care for pets in every way possible no matter what! I know some nice parks for walks, and I’m also happy to chill if they’re a homebody! Again, entirely up to you and your pets needs :)

“Mary is wonderful! We hired her to check on our cat, Kirree, last minute before going out of town for a weekend, and Mary was responsive, trustworthy, and enthusiastic. She shared clear and descriptive updates and pictures from her visits with Kirree. She seems to have a way with cats and Kirree was thrilled to see her. I will definitely hire Mary again.”

About: I have taken care of pets for 10 years now! I have experience with all sizes of dogs and puppies. My family and neighbors have relied on me to make sure their pets are cared for while they’re away. I am a college student so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to taking care of pups in the evenings and between classes on weekdays. I am not available on most weekends. I will treat your pet and home with respect and ensure they are cared for. I think it is very important for pups to be comfortable in their environment.

“Patrycja was wonderful to our cat - very attentive and responsive at all times. We loved getting daily updates from her during our trip. We could tell that she really cared for our cat through her messages. We also booked Patrycja super last minute and she was so patient and cooperative about key arrangement, etc. We highly recommend Patrycja to the Rover community! :) Will definitely book her again for our future trips.”

“Brenna was a huge lifesaver, agreeing to look after my cat on short notice and during a holiday weekend. My cat took an immediate liking to her and was very happy to have Brenna entertaining her while we were away!”

“Amy did such an amazing job! Even my shy cat came out for photos. She took extra care to ensure she was playing with them, which felt great as some people assume “they are just cats” and don’t need that extra interaction. Her updates were thorough, and I’m definitely getting some of the pictures she took of them framed!! After an especially scarring experience with a prior sitter, it feels nice to be able to trust someone again. Will definitely be using her again”

About: Hi! I’m Madison, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for animals in both shelter and home settings. I volunteered with Shelter from the Storm Animal Rescue as a behavioral assessor, where I was trained to observe animal behavior, body language, temperament, and individual needs. I also helped write biographies for adoptable animals, which gave me even more experience getting to know animals as individuals and understanding their personalities and needs. My family also fostered animals, so I’m very comfortable working with anxious, shy, or nervous pets. I understand that some animals need extra patience and time to feel comfortable with a new person. I’m very in tune with animal behavior and pay close attention to body language, comfort levels, routines, and changes in behavior so I can help your pet feel safe and relaxed. I work a hybrid-remote job and am only in the office 1-2 days a week depending on workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care and to spend extra time with your pets that may need more human interaction and snuggles! I’m absolutely comfortable working with anxious, fearful, or timid animals and will give them the patience and space they need to feel comfortable. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and in good hands while you’re away! I work a hybrid-remote job and am only in the office 1-2 days a week depending on workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care and to spend extra time with your pets that may need more human interaction and snuggles! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. My background as a trained animal behavioral assessor helps me recognize signs of stress, fear, discomfort, or overstimulation and adjust my approach accordingly. I’m especially comfortable with shy or anxious animals and will never force interaction before they are ready. I prioritize safe handling, secure doors and gates, and making sure pets cannot accidentally escape. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, following your instructions, and making sure everything is as you left it when I leave. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

“Blanca was amazing - super reliable and responsive! Our cat is usually grumpy, but Blanca is a natural and the cat LOVED her. Great updates and photos with each visit. Will definitely book again!”

About: Animals have been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember—from growing up around my family’s German Shepherd breeding and training work, to years of rescuing and fostering both dogs and cats. I can provide continuous supervision, regular potty and play breaks, and plenty of outdoor exercise tailored to each dog's energy level and temperament. My home currently includes one calm, dog-friendly resident cat, making for a peaceful, low-stress environment where guest dogs receive focused care and affection. I have worked with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies and kittens. I am experienced with administering medications and experienced with disabled dogs. I work remotely and am home full-time with a flexible work schedule. I can provide 24/7 care for your dog or cat. I am also available for walks throughout the day and week. While boarding in my home, I am able to be available for feeding or potty breaks as needed. I am able to watch the dog or cat to see what they need when. If I am providing drop in visits or walks, my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and evenings.

About: Designated dog carer for family, so I figured I would expand the circle. I love going for walks and love taking a pup with me. I am working a full-time job. Mondays and Fridays, I am available from 6 am to 9:30 am. On Tuesdays through Thursdays, I am available anytime after 5:45 pm. Usually available anytime on the weekends for pet care and walking. My full-time job requires me to have respect and care for people's private information, so you can count on me to show the same respect and care for in-house sitting.

“River did an excellent job watching our three cats! River was dealing with some family things & had to change the booking last-minute but was so communicative & helpful in working out a contingency plan, which was GREATLY appreciated. Would happily recommend!”

About: Hello, my name is Katy and I would love to care for your dog! I just finished a term with AmeriCorps and now work part-time in the service industry. My flexible schedule means I am free to walk or watch your pup! I understand that caring for your dog means understanding their individual needs. Please don't shy away from telling me your dog's specific needs and quirks. I want to make caring for your dog a great experience for both pet andowner. I bring passion and professionalism to this job and absolutely enjoy what I do. I have had dogs all my life and currently have an elderly chihuahua. Because of his health concerns and age, I'm not currently boarding dogs at my home. However, I would love to walk and sit your pups and can assure they will get attentive and safe care.

About: I’m a pre veterinary student, and I intern at an urgent care vet clinic, which gave me a lot of experience understanding important health signs, but also has taught me to be comfortable with dogs of all energy levels, personality, etc. Additionally, I am a dog walker at a local shelter. I’m comfortable giving meds, helping with senior pets, and making sure every pet feels safe and loved. Whether your pup needs playtime, slow walks, or just some good snuggles, I’ve got it covered! I am currently interning part time and well as volunteering at a local shelter, but I have lots of free time this summer!. I have time during the days for walks and check ins and am so eager to spend the time I have in the area helping where I can! I have a dog that absolutely loves playing! He is very small, but he gets along with dogs of all sizes and can play in my fenced in yard! If I am at your home, I will adjust to match the energy of your pet, and ensure they feel safe and comfortable while providing them with proper care.
