Personalized care for your dog or cat - Old Appleton

“She is wonderful and my dog had a blast. She was very communicative and sent multiple pictures of my pup throughout. She was flexible with drop off and pickup and offered to let me bring my dog to meet hers early to ease the introduction between them all if needed. I definitely recommend.”

“I had an amazing experience with this family for my dog Aspen’s stay. They sent photos every single day and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Aspen came back, happy and well cared for. You can tell they generally love dogs. I’d book with them again in a heartbeat.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets all my life and try my best to create an stress-free and healthy environment for your pets and your peace of mind! I’m currently on a sporadic schedule which leaves me with a lot of time to take care of your pet and all their needs as well as give the support they deserve. I will make sure the environment is very stress-free and calm along with the potential need for discipline (which I will do as your directed desires.)

About: I have been pet sitting for a year now and came to rover to expand my clientele while I am going to Southern Illinois University of Carbondale! I’m currently a student at SIU C. My days are usually pretty open and I have a flexible schedule weekends work for me as well! I have a big yard!! I can care for your dog or pup however you need me to and what’s comfortable for you and your pet! I do allow dogs on furniture!!

“There are no words to describe how lovely Melinda is. So kind, helpful, loving and playful with our puppy. She provided him an excellent exercise and care session after a day of travel. We feel like we’ve found “family” and we just met her! If you need help with a pet and she’s available, it will be the best choice ever, seriously. We are so grateful and pleased.”

About: SPECIAL HOLIDAY RATES!! I have 50 years experience with dogs. I have experience training, grooming, walking and loving dogs. Big one's, little one's, itsy bitsy teensy one's! Cats? I love them! I am the first person my friends call when they need a sitter. Short notice no biggie. I specialize in 30 minute drop-in visits although, 60 minute drop-in visits are available for a little more TLC. I am very dependable and responsible. I do not believe in physical punishment or scare tactics to correct a dogs behaviors and cats are practically purr-fect anyway. Gentleness and kindness ( a little bribing doesn't hurt either). l require to have a meet and greet before any agreements are made between us about sitting. All dogs must be spayed or neutered unless they are pups too young for that. All dog must be current on all shots. Owner must provide collars and leashes or (harnesses preferred) NO CHOKE CHAINS ALLOWED!!! I work midnight shifts This allows me to have time in the afternoons and evenings 4 to 5 days a week That varies And I do not work every other weekend every other Tuesdays every other Friday. I have a large house with a fenced yard a security balcony and two stories of play space and all dogs that I host in my home are allowed in any room in the house during naps and bedtime we all sleep in one big room together separated by gates or barriers if necessary otherwise they pile in with me in the bed I work part time out of the home. I have a lot of freedom and time to spend with your furry babies and so they are rarely alone and I accompany them when outside at all times. I have a safety plan that I have developed over the years that I strictly follow to ensure that every pet that stays in my home is protected from accidents and harm. I provide separate feeding areas to prevent squabbling over food, and I provide separate sleeping arrangements for my rover dogs where they have their own beds and blankets for them to be safe and comfortable. I provide segregated safe zones and private quarters for pups that need some extra space to feel safe and comfortable Or for nervous and timid dogs that need to adjust to the house for a bit before they come join the others. For your convenience and Upon request, I can provide food and water bowls and 2 feedings a day for my boarding pups. NOTE: I only feed SCIENCE DIET ADULT COMPLETE DRY DOG FOOD. I give only HIGH QUALITY TREATS which I also provide. Please request this additional service at the Meet and Greet appointment prior to the booking drop off day. Clients have found that they are less anxious and stressed when they don’t have to pack up bowls and food and all their dogs stuff. Beds and blankets from home are best for your dogs boarding experience because they need familiar things that have your and their scent for comfort I am home full-time Monday-Thursday and I work part time on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays outside of my home. I have plenty of time to play with your for babies. I have a comfortable pet friendly home with a nice size fenced yard where I take your pets to play. I also have a gated deck for smaller pets. They are never left unattended even while in a fenced yard. Safety is my first priority for all pets and people.

About: I’m Amy - a huge animal lover and would be happy to care for your pet(s) as well as I care for my own! I understand how hard it is to leave your pets while traveling or vacationing, or even during the workday, which is why I started on Rover. I have a very open availability and am flexible for walks, drop-in visits, and house-sitting. I worked in a veterinary clinic for 2 years where I learned a lot about health and wellness of cats and dogs. I also have experience administering medication, handling special needs/health issues, and basic training. I promise to provide kind, loving, patient care for your pet, and open communication! I currently have a very open/flexible schedule. Please reach out about any times/dates you may need care for your pets and I hope I can help fit your needs! Aaron (my husband) and I have one dog and two cats that we’ve had for over 9 years. We love being outside, being active and taking our dog, Bella, for walks. I am very detail oriented and promise to always be 100% respectful of your home, property, and pets.

“Kalyn did a great job taking care of Jack for me. She sent several pictures to let me know Jack was happy and enjoying himself. He had a nice bug back yard to play in and he enjoyed having Kalyns Husky to play with and keep him company. I would book with Kalyn again.”
