Personalized care for your dog or cat - Bishop

“Lindsay and her family took such wonderful care of Khloe while Buddy and I were off backpacking in the Eastern Sierra for almost a week\. Khloe is a senior dog with arthritis, so finding someone I could completely trust with her is incredibly important\. From the moment we met, it was obvious that Lindsay genuinely loves animals. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was reassuring to know Khloe was comfortable, happy, and being treated like part of the family instead of just another boarding dog., When I picked her up, Khloe was relaxed, content, and clearly well cared for. That peace of mind allowed me to fully enjoy my trip knowing she was in great hands\. I can’t thank Lindsay and her family enough for their kindness and exceptional care. I would absolutely trust them with Khloe again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter.”

About: I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania where we had horses, chickens, cows, pigs, a dog and a few cats. I love hanging out with animals any chance I can get! I currently work about 30 hours a week. Most of my schedule is midday so there will always be days I’m completely off, or am present mornings/nights. I am gentle towards animals and am glad to maintain whatever boundaries are normally at place in your home. If you don’t give people food, neither do I! If you don’t have them on the couch, neither do I!

“Sarah was fantastic with my dog, Junie! She took such great care of her, kept me updated with photos and messages, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Junie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Junie with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter.”

“Darrien was a supersitter! She was communicative and kind and sent me pics and updates that totally eased my mind about leaving my kitty for a week. My shy kitty warmed up to her in record time for play and snuggles. =) What more could you ask for?”

“Zoe was the best cat-sitter, beyond my wildest expectations. She gave me so much peace of mind on my travels, I really felt comfortable with my kitty in her care. She’s communicative and thorough & sent lots of videos! Highly recommended.”

About: I used to live with two cats before I moved to Mammoth - one used to be a street cat & scared easily. The other was super curious & playful. I’ve cared for a wide range of cats - from cuddly to independent. From playful to fierce. I even have experience with senior cats who need diapers & medication. I love cats & love to give them the care they deserve.

“Mel was exceptional. They are very responsive, detailed-oriented and take it seriously. They would also send me pictures every day and I felt very comfortable away knowing that Vasya was in good hands and well taken care of. I would definitely asked Mel to spend time with Vasya again when I’m away.”

“Catra was by far the best dog sitter I've ever had. Sent lots of pictures, was very responsive to concerns and questions, and knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior. Would recommend to anyone.”

“I appreciated Marcy’s communication and care for my cat. He is elderly and required a shot of insulin. :-)”

“Elizabeth has become Auntie Liz to my two cats! She was provided fantastic professional care, especially to my 18 year old diabetic cat who needs insulin shots twice daily. I was so pleased to come home after a long trip and find the old boy happy and thriving!! Elizabeth will provide your pet with the kind of care that will give you peace of mind while you are away. Don’t hesitate in calling on her special pet care!”

About: Your pets will be in good hands. I was a 4-H kid and grew up on a mini-farm in the Northern California redwoods. We raised a variety of animals for show and as family pets. I cared for many of the neighbor's pets as well including dogs, cats, horses, sheep, pigs, bunny rabbits, and the occasional goldfish! I am a bit of a dog-whisperer too and can get even the most unruly of beasts to settle down. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks or hikes and have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs as well. I am more than just an animal lover, I'm reliable and in tune with your pet's needs, and show every pet the same level of care that they get from you. Before my stay, I will verify that your pet's care instructions are understood including current vet information, an emergency contact who can make decisions for your pet while you are away, and other important care information, such as feeding instructions, potty breaks, methods used to reward or correct behavior, and exercise schedule. Animals thrive with a daily routine, and the flexibility of my schedule allows me to feed, walk, and play with your pet on their schedule. No more long days spent in a crate or kennel waiting for someone to show up. Please book as far in advance as you can so that I can provide the best service possible while juggling requests from many families. I am very attentive to your pet's needs and will do my best to keep them happy and healthy. Most dogs have little behavior quirks, like carrying their food bowls around before dinner time, separation anxiety, or barking at the UPS driver. The more I can learn about their behaviors, the easier it will be for me to prepare for them. During my stay or visit, you can expect a daily photo or video update so you can be assured that your pet is staying active and having fun! In the rare event that medical attention is needed, I am familiar with the local veterinarians and can get help quickly (I am very resourceful). I adhere to any special dietary needs your pets may have and can administer meds as needed (including shots). If staying in your home, I am very respectful of your space and you will come home to a clean and tidy environment (leave no trace).

About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for them my whole life. My first best friend was a black lab named Daisy. Now I’m a stay-at-home mom to an active 3-year-old boy and a dog mom to my 12-year-old border collie mix, Mocha. I'm home most days, and if I leave it’s usually just for a couple hours. So, your dog will get lots of attention, supervision, and potty breaks! You’ll usually find us outside in our fenced yard or cuddled up on the couch reading books or watching movies. If your dog loves sunbathing, playing fetch, or just being close to people, they’ll fit right in with us. I have experience with active puppies, dogs with separation anxiety, and senior dogs who need a little extra care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine like feeding, walks, crate training, or anything specific so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. Since I’m a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most days of the week. If I have errands to run, I’m usually only gone for a couple of hours in the morning. I keep a close eye on all dogs in my care and make sure they’re always in a safe, comfortable environment. At my home, dogs are supervised and have access to our fenced yard for outside time, along with plenty of indoor space to relax. I’m mindful about introductions and making sure everyone feels comfortable, especially with my dog and toddler around. I pay attention to behavior and body language so I can step in if needed. I follow whatever routine your dog is used to, including feeding, potty breaks, crate use, and any specific instructions. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, relaxed, and at home while they’re here.

“Summer was great. Very responsive and asked great questions to make sure she knew exactly what our pup needed. She showed up when she said she would and sent picks of our dog on a nice walk. Will definitely use her services agajn.”

About: I grew up caring for household pets & greatly enjoyed it. I am a dedicated animal lover, with years of experience in dog walking, playing, and general loving care for friends and family’s pets. I feel strongly that animals need to get sufficient play time in order to feel properly nourished in their lives. I also have experience with senior dogs, dogs with muzzles & dogs with special needs. I have been house and pet sitting across the country on & off for the last 5 years. I am an entrepreneur & work from home. My schedule is flexible & I can almost always adapt to your scheduling needs. I do share transportation with my housemates so depending on your location & time, I may either drive to you or take public transportation. I have been on Trusted Housesitters for over 4 years with excellent reviews and experiences. I have also house and pet sit for many friends and family. Given my large resume of experience, I decided to start on Rover to get paid for the excellent care that I offer. While staying in your home, I will treat your home like my own. Keeping all spaces clean and tidy for you to come back to. If you have any boundaries in your home please let me know, so I can be sure to respect all house rules. I am comfortable sleeping with animals on the beds or off, depending, of course, on how large the bed is if it’s an overnight sit. I will enjoy exploring your area and take any pups who need exercise on some beautiful hikes and adventures!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid and responsible for our own dog - a German Shepard who I took to obedience school as a young teen. I’ve always especially loved big and/or anxious dogs and I’m quite good at reading an animal’s body language and responding appropriately. I have experience with administering meds to pets (including ones who are pill-adverse) and managing puppy energy. I love both dogs and cats and I look forward to caring for your fluffy fam! I’m an educator who works at an alternative school - which means that during August I’m available all day, every day! During the school year, my availability will shift. I am very respectful and responsible in client homes, which is a skill I developed in my many years offering child care to folks in their homes.

I currently work about 30 hours a week. Most of my schedule is midday so there will always be days I’m completely off, or am present mornings/nights.

If you don’t have them on the couch, neither do I!

About: I've been helping take care of friends' dogs, cats, hamsters, and bunnies since I was a kid. Lately, I've been a go-to for many friends in the eastern Sierra area and have been really enjoying loving their floofs! I'm currently working from home full time so my schedule can be very flexible, but I also have the ability to get up early or drive later in the evening if necessary or requested by any of the people I am working for. In my clients home, I like to ensure that the animals being cared for have enough food, water, access to a liter box and play time. I think taking care of an animal does not just include making sure all the basic necessitates are covered, but also ensuring that they feel loved and have time to get their energy out in a healthy way (walking, ball throwing, etc) while their owner is away.

“Ashley is wonderful. You can immediately tell she loves dogs and was so good to my puppy. She took lots of pictures and I felt completely comfortable turning my dog over to her. I booked a one hour walk, but Ashley went “over and above” and drove my dog to a lake for an extra special experience for him.”

“Joy was easy to communicate with, and she went above and beyond for my pup. I would recommend her anytime. Thank you, Joy!”
