Pet Sitting Victory Heights

About: Ive taken care of a variety of pets throughout my life. Often I have watched pets for friends and family, mostly dogs and a few cats. Ive owned exotic pets myself so I'm comfortable watching those too if need be. I'm currently on the hunt for a job and I need to earn some money in the meantime, so why not do that with one of things I love most- animals! I have lots of freetime, but I'd rather not start too early or go too late if possible. I have a pretty roomy apartment with two roommates who are all for having pets visit as we don't have any of our own. The neighborhoods near me are perfect for walks! If I'm at your place just tell me what I need to do and I'll do it. Feel free to leave me a list of anything you can think of!

About: I am the first to say “pick me!” when a friend is in need for a pet-sitter. I feel very comfortable around animals and love to be in their company. We, my husband and I have a 2.5 year old Miniature American Shepard, Iris. We have grown her up since she was about 2 months old. We live in a house with a fenced backyard so your dog will have a good space to run around during the day. I am a full-time Rover dog-sitter so I can stay close to your dog most of the time, so that they don't feel lonely during your absence, of course Iris is here for your dog too :). I will follow a specific schedule or your dog's needs like feeding time or walking time, or anything for making your dog feel as comfortable as possible. Just let me know if you have any concerns or questions about your dogs or their stay! I am happy to talk about it and make their stay happier with you :) My day starts with letting my dog go to the backyard then give her breakfast around 7 am. After having a coffee I usually walk around with dogs before sun warms the ground up. I play with dogs with toys and fetch in the backyard a few times during the daytime and go for a walk again in the evening. Feed dinner around 6 pm and do the last short walk for the potty around 10:30 pm before going to bed. We take dogs to a dog park on weekends depending on the dog's personality, or dogs need more exercise. We have a fenced yard so your dog can run around during the day safely. And living in a peaceful residential neighborhood allows us to walk around with pups without any concern for broken glasses on the ground or someone shouting across the road... I care for your dog as I care for my dog for sure. Your dog is a part of our family during their stay! A lot of plays and walks, and hugs. I will not leave your dog alone usually, but I will ask you first if it's inevitable. I also have a lot of toys in the house and different style of beds so your dog will find something fit for them! if they want :) I wash all the toys once a week, vacuum clean once a day to keep our house clean and comfortable for both humans and dogs. Refresh dogs water 3.4 times or more as needed. Also, I always feed dogs under my supervision so that they can have the proper amount of their own food. I separate dogs to make a separate/safe room if necessary too. I normally take one or two clients at the same time for better supervision and meeting the individual needs. But it can be three depending on the demand likely in the holiday season. But I consider the temperament of the dogs beforehand to keep individuals safe and happy.

“Qian was wonderful with my two high energy pups! She was super communicative and sent a bunch of pictures with updates. I highly recommend Qian and will rebook in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own and others dogs for ten years now, and have experience in dogs with food and environmental allergies. I’m very aware of all the little eccentricities that makes each pup unique and I’m looking forward to getting to learn your pets 😊 Looking to care for and bond with dogs in the community. My best friend recently crossed the rainbow bridge, and not being on a pup’s schedule is odd to say the least. I work a usual 9ish - 4ish so am mostly available after work, but can make mornings work with the right fit. Weekends available with enough notice 😊 I love a long list of either needs, schedules, or your pets eccentricities and will follow anything given to the letter! Besides anything written I always will clean up after any messes and put things back where they came from. Communication is very important, and I’m very open and honest so any questions or concerns can be directed my way anytime, my phone is always on me!

“Rover Review She was absolutely wonderful with Enzo! She was very attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable. I really appreciated all the updates and photos throughout her visits—it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely book with her again!”

“Thank you Sheena!”

“Paul was very kind and attentive. Our senior dog has some special needs, like very slow walks and oral medication each day. Paul did a great job making us feel confident leaving our pup in his care. He provided detailed updates with each visit and tons of cute pictures. This gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away :)”

“Sara took amazing care of our cats! She kept me updated with messages and photos every visit, and our cats looked happy and relaxed the whole time. Communication was super easy and friendly. I’d happily book with her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with labs, have had dogs all the way from yorkies to huskies, and have come to love cats just as much. I have extensive experience with anxious and reactive dogs, and am able to bring a careful though and calm to lead the way for them. What You Can Expect: • Prompt, clear communication and fast response times • Consistent routine and thorough photo updates after every session • A free preliminary Meet & Greet to ensure a great fit before booking Reach out anytime—I’m looking forward to getting to know your furry family member! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to give your pets some extra energy and attention, and with a flexible schedule. I'm hoping to benefit from the opportunity to be present and moving outdoors! After having pets of my own with plenty of reasons to give us anxiety, I'm highly attentive to the smaller things. For example, keeping doors/windows outside closed, administration of medication, or even shooing them off the couch/table.

“Kelly did a great job taking care of my cat. Sent me messages and pictures for every visit. Even took in my Amazon packages. Thank you, Kelly!!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. I grew up with pets. I worked in a veterinary clinic assisting with surgery, bathing, feeding and grooming. I adopted a dog that was going to be euthanized because he was very aggressive. He only allowed me to feed him. After that I helped him become more friendly. I believe that animals can understand when I communicate with them. They feel my good energy and good vibes. At the moment I walk with my neighbor’s dogs almost every evening. Sometimes I take care of him on weekends when his mom is busy. I have plenty of time during the day for playing with your babies puppies. I could sitting your pets in my house in the future. Now I am available for take care of your puppy in your home at nights or during the day. I could give him a bath, petting, and nicely walks in the park or whatever places that you want.

About: I’m patient, attentive, and excited to give every pet lots of affection, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away, and I’ll treat your pet like part of my family. I have a flexible work schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I can provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention to help your pet stay happy and active. I live in the calm and walkable Victory Heights neighborhood and have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. My home provides a peaceful environment, and I’ll always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for in a safe and loving space.

“Connie saved the day! We’ve worked with Connie before and she is an absolute gem 💎 with out girls, they love her and have a special connection! Today we were in a pinch and couldn’t get home in time due to a family emergency and she effortlessly SHOWED UP for us (in a way a family member would when you call - she took in the ask and found a way to make it work). She was the first person we thought of and came from one job (after it ended per her plan of course) right to another, completely unplanned. Very grateful for her, she’s a core part of who we think of to partner with us to care for our girls. Thank you, Connie!!”

About: I’ve always had a dog in my family, and I took care of my own dog for 15 yrs until he passed away last year. I can’t have dogs at my apartment and I love walking. It’s just better with a friend; your pup :) I understand dog behavior from years of taking care of them for friends and family, and I always adhere to the rules of food intake, special medical needs, and general care. I have a disability, but it does not stop me from getting out and going for a nice long walk. I’d love to take a dog along on my adventures. I also have plenty of time to check in on them daily. I treat the animals I care for with respect and common sense. If they are reactive and can’t be around other dogs, I have experience there. If they are aged and need extra help, I’ve done that too. I treat the house I visit with care and respect as well.

“Audie was such a lovely and trusting sitter to our two girls! We had a pretty tall order of tasks and she completed everything with ease—and then some! We would absolutely have Audie back to watch our kitties again :)”
