Personalized care for your dog or cat - Springerville

“I highly recommend trusting Norma with your pet's care! I am visiting the area and was nervous about leaving my two little dogs without me in a new environment. Norma went above and beyond when caring for them - very communicative, professional, and kept me in the loop by sending photos throughout their stay. I could tell they were well cared for and in wonderful hands!”

About: I have a passion for pets and animals of all shapes and sizes! From a young age I’ve spent time with any animal I could get my hands on and it has continued through my teens and adulthood. I have lots of experience outside of Rover, including, but not limited to dog walking, pet sitting both inside my home and inside of others, grooming, and training. I have worked with behavioral issues, including, but not limited to separation anxiety and reactivity. I have a big soft spot for seniors and puppies. It is important to me that while you were on vacation so is your pet. I pride myself on punctuality and good communication skills. My schedule is very open. I currently stay at home and do pet care services full-time. They’re very few times a week that I leave the house for more than about two hours at a time and even fewer that I can’t take a pet or two with me. Whether it be inside your home or inside mine, my number one priority is always safety and comfortability of the animals and the space I’m taking care of. Every pet in my care is treated like a member of the family. I ensure to make time to spend with each pet individually curated to their own personalities and energy level. I love to focus on genetic fulfillment and engagement. But most importantly, I love to keep your pet having fun! Some of my favorite times spent with pups are spent trick training so it’s not uncommon for me to send dogs home with a new trick or two up their sleeve!

“Very responsible sitter. Takes great care of our cats.”

“My husband and I were going fishing in the White Mountain area, and our dog-sitter had to cancel last-minute. Then I found Norma. What a life saver! My dogs adored her! It put our minds at ease that they were well taken care of, and we could enjoy our trip without stressing about the dogs. I highly recommend Norma to take care of your fur babies!”

About: I've had animals my whole life and have been taking care of others' animals professionally for several years. I've worked at an animal shelter so I am well equipped to take care of pets of any temperament! I have worked with a variety of cats and dogs including young puppies/kittens to elderly pets living out their golden years! I'm currently taking online college classes and work as a freelance house/pet sitter leaving plenty of flexibility in my schedule to take care of your pets! I am available Monday through 5pm on Sunday, and holidays. From vigilance around the house to keeping an eye out for dangers during walks, your fuzzy friends are in great hands! I am well versed in what human foods are poison to cats and dogs and avoid walking small dogs at dawn/dusk to avoid owls. I am experienced in administering oral medication and breaking up conflict between animals should the event occur.

About: New to Arizona and back in service after an absence during the Covid-19 pandemic. Your pups and or fur babies will get the best care here when they are with me, hands down and I’ll treat them like they are mine and part of the family! We can do a meet and greet or if your in a pinch I can do a last minute booking, both have turned out to be great experiences so never worry either way both have worked out great. Can’t wait to meet you and your pup!!! I can take care of dogs, cats, chickens or other pets. Rover isn't set up for chickens, but we can make it work!! Regarding staying at your home, I only do one client at a time unless you request drop-in or drop-by services and it works with my schedule and the client I'm house sitting at the time. I service the following areas: Eager, Springerville, Heber, Overgaard, Greer, Alpine, Pinetop, Lskeside, Show Low, St. John's, Taylor and Snowflake. Please do understand that I work as well, so I would be away for a normal work day when I'm in the office or at a client site. However I do work from home when I'm not in the office or at client sites. Again, I do have experience with other pet or animal care like Chickens, hamster - so please know I can accommodate other pets for a minimal or nonimal additional cost that I'll adjust in the system after we meet. I don’t have a dog currently as my dearest Benson passed away that is in these pictures in May 2020. I did everything to save his life, and sadly he passed away in my arms after several weeks of veterinarian visits and surgery(s)/medical procedure(s). I’m now ready to love on your dog, or other fur babies - based upon your request, but my heart is still healing from the loss of my Benson, and that simply is why I’m back!, I’ll treat your dog like my own when they are in my care.
