Personalized care for your dog or cat - Vardaman

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Vardaman
“I honestly don’t even know where to start expressing how highly I think of Alissa. 5 stars just aren’t enough! Needed someone to keep my son’s dog, Coupe’, at the very last minute. She was amazing from the beginning… Very kind, accommodating, reassuring, and professional all the way around. She kept me informed and kept up to date, with messages & pictures the entire 5 days, Coupe’ was there. I am beyond grateful to have found Alissa on Rover! Thank you both Alissa & Kyler! Yall are THE BEST!”

About: I have a half acre fenced in yard, a 20x10 run pen, have fostered senior dogs and puppies for the shelter near us, I have worked with trainers before on how to get tips for our own dogs so I can be better equipped to care of others as well. I can also care for almost any animal at my house while you need a sitter. Small to tall! (Sorry I don’t have the set up for horses) Fish to big and small dogs, all the way to reptiles! I have experience with all of them. Daily, your animal will be watched 24/7. I strive to make sure every animal in my care is cared for like my own. So, your animal will never be left for more than a hour or two (the occasional doctors appointment). They will also be taken care of just like my own in they will get PLENTY of exercise! My dogs and dogs I watch are crated when we are not home. (Of course without collars on!) I spend at the very least 2 hours per day exercising with my dogs in the backyard. High energy dogs need outlets! I have experience from Yorkies to Shepherds to Belgians.

About: I’ve worked in a vet clinic for 4 years where I have learned how to properly take care of animals. I also dog sit for neighbors and friends which include feeding, bathing, administering medicine, walking and spending the night with their animals. I will be able to stop by between, before or after classes. I will also be able to stop by on weekends or on my lunch break. I do work a part time job and I am a full time student but I will fit this into my schedule between classes or after work. I will build up a trust with your pet and treat them like one of my own. I will either leash walk them to go potty or let them out in a fenced in back yard.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Vardaman
About: I’ve been a veterinary technician for 5 years working in primarily emergency services but also general practice, oncology and ophthalmology. I’m comfortable and confident with animals of every age, temperment and practice a fear free approach. Rest assured your pet will be loved and well cared for at all times. I’m available for sitting, walks and medication administration, boarding and day care I currently manage a veterinary hospital but I am able to take pets to work with me daily alongside my golden retriever Appa. If your pet prefers to hangout at home instead I have pet cameras to monitor them while I am working. I have 32 acres of property and an invisible fence available for dogs in need of some exercise. My home is 2 stories and big enough to accommodate large dogs. I have a spare bedroom dedicated to my cats filled with toys and towers for them so I can easily assist felines in need of a more confined space

About: I am a pet lover myself. I have had experience with many family/friends’ pets in the past including feeding and walking while they’re absent. My main experience begins with my golden doodle/blue heeler mix. I am equipped with experience dealing with high-energy dogs that hate to be on a leash and are in need of a big area for play time . Second comes my black Labrador retriever. He is a timid, large-for-his-age dog that is afraid of almost of everything. In which case, I carry him to quiet areas for walks. To me, pet care is by far the most rewarding and stress-reliever anyone could have. It provides time to enjoy the environment without feeling pressured. A fluffy partner always makes walks/caring better as well. From my experience, the best way is to always give them an area where they are free to play around! And also taking time to provide them company as well
