Personalized care for your dog or cat - Rainbow Lake

“Jim and Trinity were wonderful, patient and caring with our pup who was anxious for his first stay away from home. We felt completely at ease through their communication and warm and responsible manner. We would definitely have Argos stay with them again next time we go away! Thank you!!”

About: Hello! My name is Sam and I am a life-long animal lover and pet owner. As you might have noticed from my photos I love all types of critters and I've never met an animal I didn't like. From creepy crawlies to furry friends, I'm here for any and every animal that comes my way! I am an experienced sitter and have been watching, walking, and caring for pets of friends, family, and clients for well over a decade. I am a responsible & professional adult with many positive reviews so you can rest assured your baby will be in capable hands. I am very familiar with Rover and have a lot of experience meeting new families and learning new routines quickly. I treat all pets I care for like my own and will be more than happy to let them share my personal space while they wait for you to come home! I also love to take photos of animals so your pet will be my model on our walks. :) While I hold a full time day job as an Outdoor Educator for a local nonprofit, I am looking to supplement my income by filling some of my extra time caring for the pets in my community. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and species and love meeting new people. I am happy to work with locals and visitors alike and can meet folks wherever works best for you & your pet whether that be your home, local parks/hiking trails, rentals, or restaurants. So if you're in the Tri-Lake area I'd love to meet you and your pets! Please feel free to reach out with any questions - thank you for checking out my profile and considering me for your pet sitting needs! 🐸 I work full time for a nonprofit in the High Peaks with a varying schedule between 5am and 7 pm Wednesday - Sunday. I will often available for walks and drop ins visits during evening hours (mostly between 4pm and 11pm) with some daytime & morning availability depending on my schedule that week. For overnight sitting I am available for 2 days a week maximum on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I have some flexibility so if you think we would be a good fit go ahead and send me a message and we might be able to work something out. Providing a trustworthy & relaxed experience is very important to me. As a pet parent myself I know how hard it is to leave your baby in the care of a stranger so I want to make sure I do what I can to ease any anxieties and make this a chill process you and your pet. To make sure this goal is met I ask for open communication about pet behaviors and clear expectations about the care I will provide. I have a lot of experience working and staying in other people's homes and know how to respect your space like it is my own. If any pet accidents occur under my watch I will not hesitate to clean them up in a timely manner and I always make sure I leave a home exactly as I found it. To keep your pets & belongings safe I always double check locks and make sure I have eyes on your pet before I leave. I have experience with escape artist pups & cats so I am good about making sure I open and close with care. I am serious about keeping your pets safe and providing a professional experience whether I am staying over night or just stopping. As mentioned in my bio I have over a decade of professional experience working with families to provide in home pet and child care so you can trust that your pet and house are in safe hands.

“Lena took very good care of our two cats. She was very thorough and updated us on each of her visits, including pictures. We have a very timid cat and Lena was able to gain his trust in a short amount of time. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. We look forward to working with her again in the future!”

About: I’ve cared for cats my whole life and have experience looking after them in clients’ homes. I provide love, attention, playtime, and follow each cat’s routine to ensure they are happy, safe, and comfortable, including kittens, adult cats, and seniors.

“Razz had a great stay! Communication during the day was excellent & was very happy with our booking. Will definitely be using Trinity & Jane’s again!”

About: As a dog mom of three, I understand how important routine, safety, and trust are when someone else is caring for your dog. I provide in-home sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. I’ve cared for both large and small breeds, as well as puppies and senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering medications if needed. My goal is to make sure both you and your dog feel completely at ease while you’re away. Since I work online from home, I can be with your pets throughout the day, giving them love, attention, walks, playtime, and everything they need. Occasionally, I step out for short house cleanings, but I would only be gone for a couple of hours at most. In your home, I make sure your pets are safe, cared for, and loved. I follow their routines, provide walks and playtime, and keep them happy and comfortable while you’re away.
