Dog Sitting Timnath

About: I've taken many of my friends dogs out for runs and walks around town. I also have experience with older dogs who may need that extra help. I am attending Colorado Mountain College and finishing up my last year before transferring allowing me to spend more time with my own and now yours too :) I have a mix dog which I spend a lot of time with, and growing up we've always have had a dog in our home allowing me to expand my experience with dogs and not only him but also walking friends dogs on daily basis. weather its housesitting or drop ins I always make sure your pet spends a good amount of time outdoors to get some fresh air, and have just as much fun inside.

“Thank you for checking in on my cat!”

“Dana is THE BEST! We knew right away from the meet and greet we found our favorite pet sitter 😽 She asked all the right questions and clearly genuinely cares for them. She left everything cleaner than how we left it, very punctual with her visits, did great with our security system, and was wonderful to receive so many cute pictures and updates. Based on the pics we could tell how comfortable the kitties are. One is usually super skittish but Dana worked her magic to gain his trust! We were able to go out of town with zero worries thanks to her. We knew our fur babies were in the best hands. Grateful to have such a kind and trustworthy pet sitter in our lives!”

About: As a lifelong dog owner and experienced animal care professional, I count myself lucky to spend both my free time and my working hours caring for animals. I am certified as a Fear Free Animal Handler and have received consistent 5-star reviews while handling separation anxiety, blindness, aggression, past abuse, prolapsed colon, and surgery recovery. I have experience administering topical and oral medication, physical therapy, and insulin injections. I have been formally trained in canine Aggression, Body Language, Safe Handling, Training, and Enrichment Programs. I recently received my Master’s in Zoology at UW and now work as a Forester. Before that, I worked as the lab manager of a dog cognition lab, where we enacted non-invasive, observational experiments to learn more about the canine psyche. I also formerly worked as a Canine Caregiver at an ASPCA center for abused and neglected dogs, where I executed both veterinary and behavioral rehabilitation. In my free time, I have volunteered as a Wildlife Rehabilitator at the Wild Bird Fund, completed a technician assistant internship at a veterinary clinic, volunteered at a mountain lion sanctuary, and worked to rescue/rehabilitate/release marine mammals in California. I had dog companions throughout my childhood (a Boxer, Rat Terrier, and Lab). I am sadly not currently a dog parent due to my schedule and spending too much time with other people's dog to have my own. This is why I truly consider it a win-win to be able to provide you with pet care; you are able to enjoy your time away without worry, and I get to fill my days spending time with dogs. Dogs and I share many of the same favorite things. With or without canine company, I love taking long walks, going to the park, and goofing around with a ball. I'll never turn down a dog cuddle and have endless affection to dole out. As an owner, you will appreciate my reliability and professionalism, the peace of mind and plentiful updates you will enjoy while you’re gone, and the happy dog and clean house you will find upon returning home. I hope to meet you and your pet(s) soon! I typically work 8-4 Monday-Friday. My job is most often in-person but has some flexibility for remote work. Let me know how I can work with your needs! My goal is to provide care and continuity for your pet in your absence. I will replicate your routines as much as possible to minimize stress.

“We had Claire walk our dogs during the day in a recent trip. She was reliable and great with our dogs. Will continue to use her for our dog walking in the future!”

About: I’ve had childhood pets since I was 6 that I was responsible for feeding, walking, bathing, and cleaning up after. I’ve taken care of many a creature that needed medicine, insulin, and other special care. I’m an all around guy that can take care of all sorts of pets I own birds and a cat which require lots of care and love. I take care of my friends dog regularly so I’m always around animals to love and care for I will always follow procedure and household rules surrounding your animal(s), I will provide updates and photos so you won’t miss your little lads while away.

About: About Me I'm a dog lover that does not have a dog of my own (for now). I have loved dogs but am at a period in my life where I don't want a dog of my own because of my current living layout, so I am looking for other pooches to pamper. Your dog will feel right at home in my care, and I will make sure that they have a good time while you are away. I also look after cats and other animals, as I am not a dog-purest, and I can equally pamper kitties, birds, reptiles and other animals alike. Being away from an animal can be stressful for you too, so I will keep you updated to our adventures so you know that your loved one is in good hands with me! My partner Sarah is also a Rover sitter, and we support each other and our clients - if I'm ever running late, have an emergency or a last-minute meeting, we occasionally help each other out to make sure that the pets in our care are handled no matter the situation - so booking with us is like a two-in-one! Her profile can be found here - https://r.rover.com/h8Ncnf Schedule I work pretty flexible hours in IT, but I do work on campus. I do online school with minimal in-person classes when necessary, so I have plenty of time to check in our your beloved pets during the weekdays and weekends. I may need to attend some meetings in person, as well as be in person some days during the week. I will also need to stop by and check on my own kitties during the day. Housesitting Schedule For housesitting, the traditional arrangement is the overnight in your house and one to two drop ins during the day - a lunchtime drop-in for central Fort Collins only and a late afternoon/early evening drop in for all clients regardless of location - therefore, pups will need to be independent for 6-8 hours throughout the day (depending on client needs and location) between the drop ins and settling in for bed. Traditionally they will be fed before I leave in the morning, at the lunch drop in where needed for pets on a three-a-day schedule (only available if located in Central Fort Collins), and at the early evening drop in, and I can be flexible around medication schedules. Some evenings I will have events, such as a late work meeting, date night with my partner, or dinner out with a friend, but I try to keep them to a few days a week when I am sitting. For a period in the evening I will stop by my home to restock supplies or change out clothes, grab dinner, feed my own kitties, run errands or attend to work tasks. House sitting also includes two twenty minutes walks for leash trained pets, weather and air quality permitting - high energy clients can book additional walks as needed. Dogs without yards will also get short potty breaks on leash. Please make sure pups have indoor entertainment and play options I can use in the case weather or air quality prohibits outside play. Rover allows up to 12 hours a day during sitting away from the home, to follow employment laws (unless paying for the constant care charge - listed in the Rates category). If I don't need that full-time away, I am happy to spend more time in the house and work from there, but this is the traditional suggested time Rover sets for overnight services. *If you are outside the urban areas of Fort Collins, I am not be able to provide lunch drop-ins on days I'm working in person due to driving time. See the additional information section below for more about out-of-Fort Collins bookings and gas charge information* I'm also willing to spend more time during the day with guests that prefer me to stay at my own place overnight, as this is not an uncommon preference for those with smaller apartments or no guest room. Due to health reasons, I cannot use a couch in replacement of a bed, so please make sure a bed is available. Please let me know your preferences and I can be flexible. HOLIDAYS Please understand that I do not work most major US holidays, as my family is not in town so I travel to see them. On holidays where I am home, a holiday rate applies and is non-negotiable. How Rover Determines Extended Stay Charges for Housesittings Please note that house sitting is a 24-hour scheduled service (although not constant care for that 24 hours), so if you want me to come on the first day at noon, I am booked with you through noon on the last day, as an example. If you book the first day at noon and schedule to come back the final day at 4pm, Rover will charge an additional half day rate for any additional time between 2 and 8 hours. If it's 8 or more hours (in this example, arriving 8pm or later) they will charge an additional day rate. Please make sure you put accurate times in - these times also dictate when I can enter and when I must leave, as well as the Rover Gurantee coverage. If you need care outside these hours after booking, a booking modification will need to be made and accepted on both the sitter and owner side, or additional drop ins must be scheduled and accepted. Gas Charges for Outside of Fort Collins Clients I love being able to service clients outside of Fort Collins, but in order to do so and still be able to travel to and from, a small gas fee does apply. Please know that I am located in Southeast Fort Collins. Starting in August 2021, for clients outside Fort Collins, there will be an $10 gas fee per visit for drop-ins and a $35/first week + $20/additional week gas fee for housesitting, to cover transportation costs to and from home. This includes Johnstown, Windsor, Timnath, and Loveland, starting at E 57th St and anything east of I-25, as well as Wellington, LaPorte, and unincorporated Fort Collins north of Old Town via Cherry Street. Out-of-town sittings are not eligible for a lunchtime drop-in, as the commute to and from extends past my lunch break times. Please make sure your animals can be comfortable for a full work day without a bathroom break if booking a house sitting or drop in out of my regular radius. If outside my extended radius, such as Denver or any sitting that requires more than a 12-mile/30-minute one-way commute, a $50/week gas charge will apply and pets will be required to be able to make it through a workday without being let out or must have access to a dog door or temperature controlled outdoor environment. Thank you for understanding, I love my out-of-town clients but want to be upfront with the level of care I provide to these distant clients Home Care I take care of your home as if it was my own. Every client is different, so I make sure I know what your needs are, as well as the needs of your pets and your home, and try and keep it as routine as possible so when you get home, it's like I was never there (even though I was, and I'll send you lots of pictures while you're away, all of your furry friends 😊). Services include basic litter cleaning, taking out the trash, cleaning dishes and kitchen spaces I used, stripping the bed, watering any plants, and cleaning up little messes from the pets. Cleaning Please make sure you have your own personal cleaners in the home. I also have a spot bot and some cleaners on hand to supplement. It's not unusual for a pet to have a stress accident with a new sitter - and I'm prepared for the mess. If your pets have additional or consistent accidents (more than 3) or have issues like UTI, hemorrhoids, or inappropriate spraying/marking, or if there is excessive mud in your area that requires frequent cleaning, an additional cleaning fee may apply to compensate for the additional time. *Yard Cleanup Not Included, but Available for Additional Charges* Cleaning up yards or dog poop outside of normal walk cleanup is available at an additional charge. If dogs have access to a backyard, dog poop cleanup of those yards is not included, but can be added for an additional cost based on size and starting level of cleanliness and upkeep. Unfortunately I've had to adopt this policy due to misuse of my former policy.

About: From when I was born up up until today, I have always been incredibly harmonized with animals, nature, and the energy around us. I personally have always had a thing for animals, always ensuring they get the proper care they need. Wheather that includes long walks, tons of affirmation and attention, or a day out in the mountains, I enjoy spending time and caring for any animals as if it were my own. I've owned many cats and dogs throughout my lifetime having also consistently taken care of farm animals for friends along with having owned and cared for many exotic animals such as axolotls, snakes, and I even have taken care of gators at some point. I am a ghost writer and social media manager for smaller creators or artists, allowing me to work online wherever, whenever, any time, any where, any day. This allows me to take up side gigs and pet sitting jobs whenever I want as my main income sources are low effort. Any schedule the people or animals around me have I usually can easily adapt to. I have lots of stored up energy throughout the day so even high effort high energy animals I can handle with ease. I ensure I keep up with the pets schedule, diet, environment, exercise needs and all things important involving the animal all while giving the animal as much attention as it wants or needs to ensure the pet stays social, happy, interactive and healthy. No matter if I am in the home for a simple drop in, or multiple nights, I will keep up with basic house care and maintenance to ensure I leave the house in the same or better shape than when I got there.

About: I've had a dog in my house ever since I was a kid. I've personally been the primary care for my dog her whole life, so I know all the difficulties in any stage of a dog's life. My availability is pretty flexible as my work hours are self assigned. Most week days and weekends I can make fit into what best suits your needs. I have a fenced in house with a long backyard which is great for fetch. Security cameras on all gate entrances. Indoor space for them to be in for however long they want to be.

About: Hi! I’m Liv, and I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet lover who would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. I grew up on a small farm, so I’ve been around animals from a young age and have always had a strong love and respect for them. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own French Bulldog, Bruno. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and making sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and give them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m responsible about keeping up with their routines and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m also happy to work with each pet’s individual schedule and needs, whether they need lots of activity and playtime or simply some companionship and cuddles. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their home environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine and the instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, and bathroom breaks when needed. I also make sure to give them plenty of attention and companionship while respecting their individual personality and boundaries. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same respect and care I would give my own. I’m attentive to details, keep their space clean, and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: Hello! I have had dogs since the age of 5. Along with that, I have always taken care of neighbors and friends pets whether dogs, cats or even amphibians! I have two doggo’s of my own, one of which is a rescue. Three years ago my rescue couldn’t approach anyone and together we have worked very hard and now he is a loving and cuddly boy. Still work to be done, as there is always room for improvement but it makes me happy to see how far he has come. My other dog is a puppy we have trained since 3 months old I currently work full time and work 4 days remote and 1 day in the office. I am free on weekends but happy to talk about a drop ins during the week if needed. I will be coming to your home, and always ask for instructions and details to make sure your pup or cats routine is staying the same. I take my doggos on a walk 3x a day, so if you would like me to do so, we can talk about a small extra fee for both :)

“Reliable, responsive and professional! We are so grateful and more than satisfied!”

About: I used to work full time at a doggie daycare and only quit due to time restrictions. I have great knowledge of dog behavior and have learned dog training when I worked for the daycare, so I’m able to help train your pet! I know the hardest part about leaving your pets with people you don't know. Which I know is a great amount of trust. I have a plethora of references from people who I've dog sat for in the past and they would have nothing but positive remarks. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns about anything!! My Rottweiler and I go on a 2 mile walk everyday, and I live very close to the poudre trail so it’s easy to take dogs on long walks. Our family has great knowledge about administrative pills because our dog has Addison’s disease (an internal hormone shortage, much like diabetes). My home has a fenced yard, so going potty and doing playtime with my dog are great ways to burn energy. My rottie is a sweetheart and plays big brother to any dog we bring home, big or small.

“Loved having Devon look after my cats! She kept me updated and took great care of them.”

Julianne D.

“Shelby is wonderful! My little Yorkie took to her immediately. She did an hour drop-by visit to exercise and play with him while I was out for the evening. When I got home, he was much more relaxed than usual, no excess energy from missing his evening routine. Would definitely have Shelby over again!”

Lois M.

“Jessica was PHENOMENAL! My 2 just needed a drop in and when we got back they were happy as clams!! I will DEFINITELY be calling again! Thank you so much for helping us out!”

Monica C.

“Lovely, kind, caring dog sitter. ! My “girls” haven’t voiced a single complaint about her care of them! I came home after 4 days to see everything in order with all 3 dogs relaxed and settled.”

Teresa C.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life! From dogs and cats to horses and chickens. I’m comfortable with pets of all shapes and sizes including puppies and seniors. I’m patient, calm and confident in handling nervous or high energy pets. I absolutely love animals and will treat your pets like my own! I am a college student up at CSU currently. Since I’m not working another job right now, I can easily plan my days around pet care. Animal safety and comfort will always come first. I follow any routines or instructions you provide closely and make sure your fur babies always feel relaxed and loved! I’m also happy to provide updates so you can feel comfortable they’re in good hands

“Tamara was great with our shy dog, Glen . He became very comfortable with her, Tamera will be my first choice in the future!”

Judi S.

“Rebecca was very easy and pleasant to work with. She took no time to familiarize herself with the routine of our cats. She was extremely communicative and accommodating, even going as far as to show us possible damage caused by the cats.”
