Personalized care for your dog or cat - Rome

About: For most of my life, I grew up on a farm full of a variety of animals. We owned chickens, cows, pigs, goats, ducks, geese, horses, and sheep. On top of that, we also kept many dogs and cats around too. Due to this, I grew up loving all my animal companions and practicing the best ways to care for our furry friends. I now live in an apartment with just my two cats but take with me my past experience of two years working at a vet clinic as a ward attendant, participating in dog walking, administering medications, and other general animal care. Currently, I am looking for ways to fill my free time with a little extra animal love, as I am someone who likes to always be busy doing something for others. With my current job as a teacher, my schedule is pretty strict, unfortunately. However, my evening availability can be very flexible. I could be available from 5 pm to 10 pm during the weekdays and then free all day during weekends. Therefore, if you need my help with your furry family member, I would be glad for you to use my low-priced services offered ranging from walks to house sitting to drop-in visits! I am a teacher and will be working every weekday from 7 AM to 4 PM. Expect that availability for me will change during winter and summer breaks. In my home, I have two cats that are experienced with dogs and other cats. We have multiple rooms so if a door needs to be shut for an animal's privacy while in my care, that can be done.

“I am very happy with the care our dog Duke received at Shelley's. He played so much with her dogs, that he just he just laid around and napped all the next day. 😃 Thank You Shelley DeAnne L”

“Traci was awesome to work with. She provided excellent care and communication that put us at ease during our absense. She was also attentive and understanding with one of our dogs that required extra care due to a medical condition. I highly recommend Traci!”

“My Stoney had a amazing time, I had a short notice trip and Jodeci was able to watch her no problem, Chloe and Roxii were the great host! I appreciate that she tagged me in videos through the entire stay and I would book her again with no hesitation.”

About: I grew up on a farm, so I've always been surrounded by animals and have developed a natural ability to care for them. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of animal behavior. I’m not only comfortable with dogs of all ages but also have experience handling puppies and providing senior dog care. I work from home, which allows me to give your pet my full attention throughout the day. With a flexible schedule, I'll be the one taking care of your pet personally, ensuring they get plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. We have a dog at home and an unfenced yard, but we're just one block away from a dog park, so your pet will have plenty of opportunities for outdoor play and exercise. If needed, we can crate our dog to ensure safety and comfort during your pet's visit. We always prioritize the well-being of all pets in our care and will adjust our home environment as needed to meet your pet's needs.

About: I love cats and have 2 of my own, whom receive good care and lots of love. I know cat language very well so I know when the cat is overwhelmed or anxious.

“Coree was reliable, friendly and took great care of my cat, Flipper. I was gone for a week and she came in daily to care, feed and play. I will use her again and would recommend 👌 her to Ft. Madison, Iowa area residents.”

About: Your animals are in good hands here. I'm a warm, attentive sitter who genuinely loves dogs and cats. Whether your animal is young and energetic or slowing down, they'll get unhurried care tailored to who they are. Stays and walks with me include lots of outdoor time, belly rubs, and real one on one attention. I also have experience caring for senior dogs with specific needs, including joint issues, anxiety, medication routines, and sensory changes, so if your dog requires a little extra consideration, you're in the right place. You'll receive regular photos and updates and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pet is with someone who will help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work remotely so care is available 24/7. Im around for walks morning & evening, and available to communicate and send pics throughout your pets stay. I provide extra love and care to make sure your pet is fed, exercised, loved on, and super happy while you're away. I will send pics while you're gone so you can see what a wonderful time we're having together.

“Shelley was so great and caring. Our dog was nervous and timid, but by the end of the day they were pals!”
