“Maggie took fantastic care of our fur baby while we were away! She was very flexible and even left a sweet note and parting gift for Olive. We will definitely request her again!”
“Molly did such a fantastic job watching our fur babies while we were out of town for a couple days! This was our first time having Molly come over and she certainly exceeded our expectations. She sent photos and video updates which gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to any of our family or friends with fur babies too!”
About: Our prices indicate we obviously don't do it for the money. We do it for the company of the animals and to give us something to do that we truly enjoy. Between the two of us one of us is always home. Ed is a retired firefighter and second career nurse, while Ashley is a current working nurse. My partner and I work as nurses, we schedule ourselves so we don't over lap, making it easy to always have one of us available almost 24/7 to drop in! We are comfortable going and playing with your cats, dogs, mice, fish, dinosaur... Ya know, whatever you have! We can be there to keep them happy while your away on vacation! We send TONS of pictures because we know it's nerve-racking to leave them alone.
“Joie was great with my two cats! One of the locks to my apartment had trouble working with the key I gave her so she came back a second time that day to try again and thankfully it worked. So happy my fur babies were well taken care of!”
“We have booked twice with Megan now and she has been great! She is responsive and reliable and takes a ton of pictures during her visit. We look forward to using her in the future!”
“Kevin took excellent care of our furbabies while we were on vacation! Punctual, communicative, and shared photos and details of his visits that helped us feel confident that our girls were in good hands. Will use Kevin for pet care services in the future.”
About: I have the ability to communicate with all animals since I was 3 yrs old. I have learned a lot in my lifetime when encountering with animals and what they have said to me. I also can help with any issues that an animal might have or need. I deal mostly with cats, but I have worked with various dogs in the past. My schedule is very flexable as I work part time in the spring through fall doing pruning for people and I do shoveling for a landscape company in the wintertime. I treat all animals as if they were my own. I let them be themselves and watch and observe what they do and what they should not be doing. I interact with them to make them feel like I'm the new member to their family. I currently have 8 cats, mostly all strays. I have a 3 legged cat in my group as well as 2 that just turned 1 yr old.
“We were so delighted with Danielle’s care for our cat Cassie while we were away for 12 days. Danielle sent us daily photos and updates which reassured us not only that Cassie’s basic needs were met, but that Danielle also provided companionship and attention to make her less lonely. We happily recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a sitter in the Steamboat area.”
About: I'm an active west sider and work remotely. I offer pet sitting, dog walking and horse exercising services in the Grand Rapids area. I'd love to include your dog on my walks or watch your pets in your home. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, rabbits and turtles. Some additional info: I was raised on a farm and have always had a dog in the family and was an equestrian athlete for many years. I am familiar with canine behavior, basic medical care, and have experience working with puppies, adult and senior dogs. Some of my favorite activities involving dogs include going on hikes, running, and agility training. My current work schedule is very flexible. I can usually work with your needs and schedule - just message me and we can chat more! My approach is to always reinforce good behavior and provide structure while having fun with the dog. I love seeing dogs and their owners overcome both physical and mental obstacles and find working with dogs very rewarding.
“Kayla has been amazing to work with! Her drop-in services for our dog have made all the difference for our family. Her communication is great and the pictures she sends are so appreciated. I couldn’t recommend her more!!”
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of animals all my life from dogs to cat horses and snakes. I love all animals from big to small. I love high energy animals and sweethearts that just want to lay around all day. I am available day or night for how ever long you need I do not have much going on right now and would love to take care of your baby. I'm not afraid to play hard or just lay around with your baby. No animal is to much for me from a big boy to a sweetheart with attitude I have handled them all.
About: I have been being private pet sitters for over 5 years. I just moved from other states and would love to keep my passion for pets by joining Rover platform. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions! Mostly follow up with your routines/requests. Photos will be send every couple hours and throughout the day- dogs will go outside/potty every 2 hours (Housesitting & Boarding). Mostly I will follow up with your routines. Please inform me medication days/times; or feeding schedules; or litter box change/clean up schedules (for cat) if you need special requests. Thank you!
About: I have extensive experience caring for small doggies. As a pet parent myself, I understand the importance of following care instructions to a "T" and providing frequent updates & photos. I work from home full time so your dog will never be alone while in my care. I will be able to let them outside every 3-4 hours. I have two dogs myself (Burt & Minnie) so yours must be good with other dogs :) I also have a cat but she almost always goes into hiding whenever we have any guests over (whether they’re 2 or 4-legged) so that shouldn’t be an issue!
