Personalized care for your dog or cat - Sister Bay

About: I have had pets all my life and we love having furry friends come for play dates with our dog. We have watched several friends dogs for the day as well as for longer term. Though I am new to sitting on Rover , we have used Rover and want to provide in home sitting in our area. My husband and I are retired so someone is always home most of the time. We take walks about every 4 hours and have a fenced back yard (as well as a kennel area) if pups need get a bit of run around time. Our dog (Pip) loves to walk around the park or play in the back yard. Pip, our dog, loves to play with friends of all sizes and shares toys well. We allow pets on the furniture, but not in the bed. We do have a couple crates if they are needed so you don’t need to bring your own. We would feed pups in separate spaces and have lots of treats to share if your pup can have treats.

“Pico had a great time with Grace and her pups! We got daily picture / text updates and Grace asked detailed questions to be ready to ensure Pico had all her cares tended to. We definitely recommend Grace! ❤️”

About: I absolutely love animals and would be happy to meet your pet and take care of him/her. I have lived with everything from huskies to geckos so I know my fair share around animals. Additionally, I previously volunteered at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, at which I worked in the wildlife department to help care for the animals and spent time in college handling wild animals. I have dealt with many incidents involving my dog so am prepared to jump into action if they get into trouble. I am young so long walks are no problem. My current experience for sitting pets has been with dogs, cats, goats, tortoises, chickens, and fish. As a fellow animal lover, I know how important a pet can be. He/she is a family member, and that is why I will give him/her the attention and love they deserve while you are away. Whether going on a walk in the park to discover new scents, or comforting your pet during a thunder storm, I will be as responsive to his/her needs as if the pet were my own. Additional Update: I spent 8 months working at an Emergency Veterinary Clinic where I learned a great deal about working with dogs/cats and am able to perform basic CPR should your pet require it. I work from home (teaching online) so my schedule is rather flexible. I have availability during the day to drop-in or take your pet on a walk. I have reliable transportation that also accommodates pet travel. I always keep safety in mind when taking care of another living creature, and have experience with environmental concerns like skunks, traffic, and even other dogs. My wildlife knowledge also plays into this as taking a pet to a park can sometimes mean stumbling into a predator. My experience working at a Veterinary Clinic expanded my skills and knowledge of dogs and cats alike.

“Amanda did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was away! She even had to give one cat a daily pill, which is no small feat :). Would absolutely recommend Amanda!”

About: I had a dog who passed away at the age of 14 which was my best friend. I dog sit animals of family friends every so often when they go on vacations. Pet care fits in very well with my schedule. I’m looking for newer opportunities and try different things out to see what I enjoy doing. In my home we have an open yard in the country where my dogs are free to roam and do as they please. I’m willing to do what is needed to help your pets. I work a full time job during the week working 8 to 4. I do have days off almost every week. My weekends are almost completely free so they can be booked any time of the day on any weekend! At my home we have an open yard in the country out neighbors are a field away on both sides. We let my pups free roam but they know where their boundaries are. Willing to crate fur babies if necessary or do whatever to make a pet parent comfortable.

About: I live for working with animals! I have had pets all of my life and have experience working in a shelter. I will make sure your pet receives the best care and is happy and safe at all times. I am familiar with best practices when it comes to animal behavior and care. I will provide your pet with the same standard of care I would expect for my own. I have experience walking and caring for pets of all training levels, of all ages, and am able to give medicine and food as needed. While working in the shelter I learned animal training and behavior methods as well as medical care techniques. I have also had pets with a variety of behavioral and medical needs.

About: I have never NOT had dogs in my life. My entire childhood included dogs. It was our German Shepherd, Dolly, who helped me learn to walk. As an adult, I have always had a fur baby or two. My current job provides me with open weekends. With my family now living out of the area, I have great availability, as well as flexibility. Whether it’s playtime or cuddles, I will do whatever it takes to make your dog(s) happy and provide you with peace of mind and no worries.

“Jacob was truly the best person that has ever taken care of my dogs. They are both older Jack Russells and the one is partially blind. Jacob accommodated my husband and I in every possible way. We were staying at L’auberge hotel and we went to the Del Mar racecourse. He picked the dogs up on schedule and delivered them in perfect condition. When they saw me, they weren’t really very excited, which is indicative of how happy they were. He is the nicest person I’ve ever had take care of the dogs and I would highly recommend him and give him five stars. Lynne Bentel”

“Our boxer, Heidi, had a great day with Heidi and Todd today! She loved playing with their adorable dog, Kip. I felt very comfortable leaving her there and would recommend Heidi and Todd for anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
