Personalized care for your dog or cat - Saginaw

“Sergey and Lana took great care of our puppy while we went on a trip. Zoe seemed to have a great time and they even took her to the lake! They were very responsive and we really appreciated all the pictures they sent us of her days with them!”

“Cindy was amazing and very accomodating for a last minute day board. She allowed me to drop them at 7am and pick up at 11:30am so I could relax at the spa. Will 100% use her again. Lovely people. Her and her mom.”

About: I raised my dog Rocky from when he was a puppy, so I’m experienced in caring for pets of all ages. I’ve pet sit many times before learning about Rover. Every pet is different, and I’m prepared to do my best to meet your pet’s individual needs. I believe a routine is incredibly beneficial to pet care, which is why Rocky is part of my routine. If your pet is staying with me they will be feed and walked first thing in the morning. Potty breaks throughout the day for pets with more frequent needs. Then second feeding and walk at approximately 6:30 pm. If I’m sitting at your place, if your pet has its own routine we will follow it, if not I will adopt a routine based on the environment. Previously, my house was a 3 dog 3 cat house. After some relationship changes, it’s just me and Rocky. Rocky is completely submissive, although he’s a Goldmation he very much embodies golden retriever energy, and gets along with pets of all shapes and sizes (like I said, 3 cats) When sitting at your house you can be sure that both your home and pets will be cared for. Cleaning is one of my favorite activities, so you might find your house is even a bit more tidy than you left it. And Rocky is very low maintenance and stays home when I pet sit, meaning that if you want me to spend as much time at your place as possible, I can do that.

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for high-needs, large-breed dogs. I’ve owned and managed a giant breed with specific behavioral and care needs, so I understand how to handle dogs that require extra patience, structure, and attention. I am very comfortable reinforcing training, including basic commands, boundaries, and consistency with routines. I know how important it is to maintain the rules and expectations you’ve set for your pet, not undo them. I am also attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs, whether that means providing calm companionship, structured activity, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine primarily on weekends, when I have the time to provide focused, attentive care. I already structure my days around caring for my own pets, so I am very comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, routines, and giving pets the attention they need. Because I work full time and attend school during the week, my availability is limited to weekends for dogs but can do daily cat drop-ins. During that time, I am reliable, consistent, and able to give pets quality care through drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and check-ins. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and needs. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on maintaining consistency with feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure pets get attention and interaction, not just the basics, so they feel comfortable while you’re away. In my home, I provide a structured but relaxed environment. My own dog follows a routine with scheduled feeding, playtime, and rest, including crate time for sleeping, so I am comfortable maintaining similar routines for other dogs if needed. Dogs in my care have time to be active, as well as space to rest and feel secure. I am also experienced with administering daily medications and am comfortable caring for pets with additional needs. Whether I am in your home or mine, my goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own for as long as I can remember and I help out with my neighbors. I’ve helped with older dogs, puppies, large and small dogs, and I used to work at a kennel (heavenly care kennels). I currently have an open schedule so I can check in on the pets as frequently as needed. I take care of my dogs everyday so it would be my delight to take care of yours. I feed my dogs twice a day and walk them frequently. When I take care of my neighbors I am trusted with a key and code and feed and walk them as much as asked. I also like to observe and spend time with dogs to make sure they are comfortable!

“My first time using rover and I couldn't be more pleased. Nancy was very friendly and prompt. I have a very picky/sensitive senior cat and Nessie seemed to do very well with Nancy. Would very much recommend her.”

Lisa G.

“Courtney took very good care of my kitties when I was away and extended her days when I was too sick to come home. She was awesome!”

Brenda L.

“Very friendly! Loved on our pup & took him on a nice long walk. This was a last minute appointment & they did not hesitate to help us out! Would definitely recommend Sergey & Lana.”

About: Of course I love animals and have grown up with a house full of multiple cats and dogs. I have been pet sitting for my military coworkers/friends for 7 years now and decided to go ahead and use Rover to service other people now that I have plenty of free time. As of now I am going through a hiatus before starting my new job in January 2022 so I have the luxury to serve you by providing the best service for your pets by being attentive and caring. I have access to a large fenced in yard and a large dog house that is connected. I also have a large crate if preferred (doubt it). I am accepting of letting the dog stay indoors if it is house trained/indoor dog.

About: I have owned and taken care of several dogs and cats since a very young age. I currently own 3 dogs and have owned several cats. I currently work from home on weekdays and I can usually fit a drop-in or walk visit around 9am and again after 4pm and later. Weekends are more flexible. I may be at church on most Sundays for 2 hours from 1045 -1245. I will come to your home and follow any special instructions you have to take care of your pet for you. I love animals and I will love your pet as I love my own.

About: Registered veterinary nurse with over 20+ years caring for animals, 12+ in a professional and clinical setting. I have worked in small animal practices as well as Emergency/ICU and have medical experience with species of all kinds! I am a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator with AKC, and I am also licensed with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission as a wildlife rehabilitator (since 2019) Aside from working with native wildlife, I have personally owned a variety of pocket pets and exotic animals throughout the years and would be comfortable providing care for additional animal species, as needed! I am certified to teach canine and feline CPR & First Aid both to the public and to veterinary professionals (offered as approved RACE CE credit), and I am certified with FEMA through their “Animals in Disaster” preparedness course. I am proficient not only in identifying and interpreting canine and feline behavior (as well as other species), but I also have the advantage of medical insight. I often will notice things about your pet that perhaps you haven’t even noticed yet, or maybe didn’t realize was a concern. I was blessed with good intuition, and this has aided me greatly in my career with animals! Through years of working emergency medicine, I have become highly effective in triage methods and will know immediately what to do and how quickly to do it, should your pet encounter any type of emergency (trauma, toxicity, snake bite, heat stroke, neurological incident, etc.) I am comfortable administering medications through PO, SQ, IM, and IV routes, as needed or directed by a veterinarian. I am comfortable manually expressing bladders in both dogs and cats, and providing ambulatory support for pets needing assistance. Some of my clients wear doggy diapers and I am comfortable managing those, as well. I can provide basic wound care, bandage care, and give extra attention to pets needing any type of dietary assistance. My special skill in clinic was getting sick pets to eat, I am very good at it! In addition to the medical aspect, I also strive to support a healthy emotional environment. I will provide adequate and reasonable boundaries to ensure your pet is being respected, but also not letting them take advantage of the “new person!” I’m not going to overload them with treats or feed them extra just because they’re giving me the cute puppy eyes! If your pet is not allowed on the couch at home or when you’re away, I won’t allow that either. I truly understand the full-circle effects of how we treat our pets and strive to maintain high expectations when I’m responsible for any animals care. I am an open highway as far as communication goes and am happy to meet to needs and expectations for each client and family, custom to each pet. My schedule is very flexible. I took a break from working in a hospital setting in 2021 to complete my Bachelor's degree. Since then I have primarily worked from home but I maintain a current CVT license with the Arkansas Veterinary Medical Board. Working from home allows me the ability to accommodate boarding requests both in my home, or in yours. I can accommodate consistent and reliable walks or check-in visits throughout the week, and even last-minute requests. Your pets will be treated as part of the family whether in my home, or in yours! They will get extra love and attention and be pampered and played with constantly. I enjoy taking pictures and videos of your pet, and will check in often regarding their care! House Sitting: House sitting services are offered in your home, with your pets. I can accommodate exotic animals and small pocket pets, in addition to cats, dogs, and horses. There is not much I cannot care for! Offering all the amenities of in-home doggie daycare, house sitting provides the comforts of home with the assurance of a highly trained veterinary professional providing around-the-clock care. In addition to being attentive to your furry-family members needs, I will care for your home as if it is my own. I will clean, check mail, collect packages, water plants, etc. so when you get home, you will have nothing left to worry about except enjoying time with your fur baby! Prior to my departure I will clean thoroughly and make sure your home is in tip-top shape for your arrival! I work from home and am able to take my work with me, which makes my schedule very flexible! Holidays and weekends are flexible, as well. Last minute requests? No problem! Safety is my top priority. Pets will be diligently monitored. Doors will be kept shut, gates will be secured, and dangerous items will be kept out of reach. Your home will be cared for as if it was my own using the Girl Scout Code of, “leaving it better than you found it” as the core principle for my services. :)

About: Hi there! I’m a dog loving gal for all the doggies in the world. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve bottle fed my dog personally until he could have puppy food. I started dog sitting for family three years ago and have done it ever since! Now, I’m excited to welcome your furry friend into my furry family! I’m currently between jobs, so I have plenty of free time to help you or your furry friends with anything you need for a safe, fun and loving experience! I have two furry family members with vastly different sizes and personalities. Despite their differences, they all require the same amount of love, but they have distinct needs. I treat my furry friends like children, and I’m sure you’ll want the same for yours!

About: Hello! I’m Tara, and animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I competed in eventing through my mid-twenties—so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. My significant other, Mike, and I work together as a team to provide attentive, 1:1 in-home boarding with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate special routines and needs (senior care, medications, shy/anxious pups, or high-energy dogs who need extra play and structure). Tell me what helps your dog feel safest and happiest, and we’ll tailor their care to match. I work in childcare part time and Mike is a gig worker with a very flexible schedule. We work together to give your dog the benefit of in person care. Regular business hours are preferred but not mandatory. We strived to meet your dog care needs and requirements while giving your babies all the love and attention they deserve. We may ask a lot of questions but the more we know, the better we can customize the care for your dog. We have a nice size yard with. We also have a large deck for lounging.

About: I am a very responsible and loving pet owner. Growing up around cats and dogs my entire life, I understand that each pet has their own unique needs. I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own. :) I am currently a med student, so my schedule is very flexible. I hope to work with you to best meet you and your pets needs. I currently have two cats, so providing care for your pet in my home may not be the best option depending on your pets comfort level. If I were to care for your pet in your home, I will respect your home and ensure your pet is cared for in any way needed.
