House Sitting in Acra

About: I love dogs and grew up around so many! Volunteer at numerous pet shelters and love visiting dogs anywhere I can. I love walking with them and just allowing them to enjoy their time. A tired dog is the best dog to come home too and I can provide that for you and while you’re busy all day at work! I have a few fur babies myself so I know how much caring for a pet means to someone. Excited to being this journey with rover and further my career in the dog industry. I can be available when needed and will always make time in my schedule to help if possible! Available on weekends and open to doing overnight care. I am comfortable in providing whatever your pet needs. Whether it’s long walks or just letting them run in the backyard while being watched. I am open to helping in whatever way I can!

“Petra is so caring, communicative, and wonderful. She always sends updates and goes above and beyond to take perfect care of our pup, who she loves like her own. She’s also a fantastic houseguest. Highly recommend!”

“Jared took great care of my two pets while I was away overnight.”

“Carolyn was great. She arrived early, was greeted by Bodhi and after a little playing he jumped in her car and off they went for a walk on the rail trail. He really enjoyed the exercise and I’m sure he’ll be glad to see her again.”

About: I worked as a veterinary reception and received knowledge from our vets on dog/ cat behavior training and administering injections. I have kennel experience and training with special needs in dogs and cats. I’m open and flexible with my schedule whether it’s morning or night. Ready to take care of your magnificent pup or kitty in a safe environment. My cozy apartment is a safe and welcoming space for your pet to relax and play. I also have a super-friendly dog who absolutely loves meeting new friends. For pups or cats that like some quiet time, I'm happy to provide a cozy crate or room area where they can feel secure.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was five years old and continued to get more dogs. I have dog sat for multiple friends and family rating from dogs and cats. As far as training animals, I did grow up with having to train them so I do have some experience. I am currently working part time and go to community college but will be able to manage and work out a schedule that will be accommodating. I have 3 dogs that have invisible fences outside so they can roam free without getting lost, going to the road, running off. I have a big yard surrounding my house so they are used to running around freely. When it gets too cold they come in to the house or garage with my father. I am used to walking dogs as they do get walked on occasion at home or if we have them out of the house. I do not off offer services that welcome pets into my house but I am accommodating as necessary and will offer services at your residency.

“Elisha did a wonderful job watching my shy pup and two kitties while we were gone for an evening. Although my dog is rather nervous around strangers, my pup ended up sleeping with Elisha during a storm. It gave me great comfort to know my animals were being looked after during the storm and while we were away. Looking forward to having her watch my pets again next week!! Thanks for everything, Elisha!”

“Our experience with Alexa was second to none! She stepped in to dog sit very last minute and treated our Ruby like royalty. We received regular updates with photos and Alexa was always quick to respond. We knew our pup and home were in good hands. Wouldn't hesitate to have Alexa dog sit for us again!!”

“Carson took great care of our animals while we went away and followed all our little rules to a T! We will definitely have him back to take care of our babies again! :)”

“From the moment that I met Emily, I understood that her relationships with animals are deeply reciprocal. She is a patient and caring friend and enjoys the love that they offer in return. Emily stayed with my senior Boxer for 10 days at my home. She was a conscientious sitter -- taking perfect care of my home and of my pet. Knuckie typically experiences a few days of depression and hives when I leave but with Emily he was in good spirits, eating and in his normal routine. Honestly, he looked fantastic when I returned -- like he'd had a week at a spa. Emily's communication was perfect and she even went above and beyond to have a food order for us when our late flight arrived! I give Emily my highest recommendation!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was in high school, including two years working as a veterinary assistant. I have a cat of my own, and have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and health statuses (from puppies to seniors who needed medication). I also have experience with basic training and am familiar with continuing important routines. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets! I’m also very active and can adjust my schedule for any need. I have a large yard and a park right down the street from my house that I can easily board a dog at my home. I have one 100% indoor cat who loves a new friend.

“Arsen and Sophia did a great job. They communicated well, sent funny pics and we returned to a calm dog who clearly liked them and was sad to see them leave. House was clean. Would hire them again anytime.”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Katherine caring for our two cats. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and reliable. She kept us updated consistently with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she’s both experienced and genuinely caring - our cats felt comfortable with her right away. She was attentive to their routines and gave them lots of playtime and love. We came home to two very happy, relaxed cats and a house that was just as we left it. We felt confident the entire time that they were in safe, capable hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

About: I started pet sitting three years ago when I began studying at Bard College and was looking for ways to support myself as a student. If I describe myself, I would say I’m very empathetic. It helps me connect with animals, understand their behavior, and notice when something feels different. I try to be calm, patient, and attentive to each pet’s personality. I understand that pets are family members, and it can be stressful to leave them with someone new. That’s why I carefully follow parents’ rules, routines, and feeding schedules. I always stay in touch and send updates, so owners feel comfortable and reassured. In my recent experience, I cared for two cats for two weeks, for a dog and two cats together for about a week and a half, and I also hosted a large dog in my home for a full month.

About: I have taken care of all breeds of dogs for over 10 years. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me and hired me to care for their pets for extended periods of time. I have done as little as walking their dog to hosting them for weeks at a time. I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing, and administering medicine. I work part-time so i am usually available to care for your little ones in the afternoon. I would love a long term, set schedule but I am flexible and welcome anyone who needs pupcare!! I have 2 beautiful pitbull/boxer mix who love to play with others. They love to run for long periods of time and share toys and treats with others. My husband and I own a home with a very large fenced in yard where we can constantly watch them play. When I am in a client’s home I adhere to the dogs needs. I take them for long walks or exercise and play games to stimulate the mind.

About: Hi! I'm Liz, a dedicated animal caretaker with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and pocket pets. I'm passionate about keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe, whether it's through daily walks, playtime, or administering medications. I treat every animal like a member of my own family and take pride in providing consistent, loving, care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I work from home, so pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine in a way that is structured but flexible, depending on the pets' needs, and the type of care I am providing. I have over an acre in my back yard that can be enjoyed for playtime with pets. I have secure doors in my house, and I keep my home secure and pet-proof. No small objects or breakable items in areas where we play and spend time. I have a pet first-aid kit on hand in my home. I have contact information for local veterinarians and emergency clinics readily available. I have some basic knowledge in first-aid and CPR for dogs and cats.

“Eveyln was great with both our high energy dog and elderly cat. It was a last minute booking and we were lucky to find Evelyn, who stepped in for a quick meet and greet, asked questions, took notes, then came to care for our little ones for three nights. They were well cared for and our home was neat as a pin when we returned. We'll book Evelyn again without a doubt.”

“Amy was able to take care of my puppy for a night even though I reach out last minute, came for a meet and greet and. Took good care of my energetic puppw!”

About: Leaving the dog behind is often the most stressful part of traveling. You’ll be able to enjoy your time away knowing that I’ll treat your dog with a ton of love and care. I understand your dog is your family, because I consider my dog to be part of my family. I’ll treat your dog the way I would want someone to care for mine—making sure they’re happy and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet is young and energetic or older and needing extra care, I'll give them the love and attention they need. I'm a freelance writer who works from home with no set schedule, so my days are very flexible. I can accommodate whatever you and your pet need. I'll treat your pet like my own. I'll be sure they receive any food or medication required, with an extra dose of love and attention. I'm also respectful of your space and privacy.

About: Had a deep soul connection with my cat Marbles for 15 years 🖤🐈‍⬛🌹 I enjoy showing animals comfort and care. Not afraid to get down on the ground and play either :) I’m an intuitive and allow animals their space and time to enjoy nature. I prefer not to rush them but can stay on schedule if need be. Please book a drop-in visit if you’d like an in-person meet and greet. I prefer not to be around cigarettes, vape, artificial scents and harsh chemicals (detergents, dryer sheets, perfumes, candles, air fresheners, harsh chemicals, etc.) These are not healthy for us or our beloved animals ✌️🐾♥️). *Important* my house is temporarily limited at the moment, so for daycare services, I’d prefer to entertain your dog (or cat on a leash) around town, hang out at the lodge or go for a long walk or hike rather than back to my place. If this is an issue, please message me before booking. When messaging please include a “💚” so I know you read this. Thank you! Additionally, please message me if you would like to discuss rates. Thank you 🥰♥️🤗 I’m pretty flexible at the moment; albeit a tad busy also. I do have one other dog that I walk morning and night but we can work around that. If it is an emergency I could probably work something out for home care but right now I’m primarily caring for animals around their own home and neighborhood.
