House Sitting in Actis

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 3 and have 15 years of hands on pet care experience. I absolutely love dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors who need extra patience and attention. I currently have a senior dog who’s 16 and an 11-month-old puppy who I successfully potty trained in just three weeks using positive reinforcement and consistent routines. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I care for my own dogs in the late morning until early afternoon, but I’m still able to provide pet care earlier in the morning and have full availability for walks, drop-ins, and extended care after midday. From the afternoon onward, I’m completely flexible and able to give pets consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of care throughout the rest of the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress free. I always take time to learn about each pet’s specific needs including diet, walking schedule, medications, and preferred activities. Safety is my top priority, I make sure doors and gates are secure, walk dogs on-leash at all times unless otherwise instructed, and keep a close eye on their environment to prevent any issues. I also respect my clients’ space and home keeping things tidy, following all instructions carefully, and providing regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and your pet feel loved and cared for, just like they would if you were home 😊

“Kyle and his fiancé did a wonderful job watching our pups in our home for a weekend. They were present, communicative, and left our home in great shape. Lots of cute pics and the pups seemed really happy!”

“Elton had a fantastic time! 🖤 She kept me updated throughout the entire booking and sent pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Elton was well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I really appreciated her communication, kindness, and how attentive she was to his needs. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

About: I used to be the president of an animal rescue called Secondhand Animals. Between running an animal rescue and owning dogs, cats, fish, turtles and hamsters all my life, I am very knowledge about animals, what they can and cannot eat, sickness, medications and what to look out for. I am completely set up for X-Large to X-small dogs, and the animals in my home are very friendly to other animals. If not we have several other rooms in the house, where we can keep a guest by themselves in order to not stress the out so much. We also just had a dog run built. I am currently working full-time, but I do go home during lunches and am home in the evenings and weekends. I also have help, if it is needed. I have a fenced in yard, and a dog run with it's own fencing. Every evening I sit out on the deck, and try to engage with my animals. I say try because they do not know what fetch is, but they understand keep-away. We also enjoy taking car rides and walks.

About: I love them as if they're my own. I believe love is the best reassurance you can give your pets . Love them unconditionally just like they love us ! My dogs are the happiest dogs in this planet. I walked my dogs daily plus they have a fenced yard to play in with all their relatives. I spoil my dogs with treats , kisses and lots of petting. Dogs just want to have fun and that's what we do at my house fun all day. The only problem is the dogs sometimes want to stay which is okay for the longer over nighters. Let's see if we are all a match. We haven't had a problem yet and I don't see any on the horizon. My house is their house!

About: I’m 29, i have previous experience working at a dog daycare/boarding. I am attentive and honest. If you’re looking for someone to keep your dog company, walk them, or even just play with them, get in contact with me. I do live with a small dog but she gets along well with other animals Your dog will always be taken care of and loved like my own. I am also available for drop ins and short notice if necessary. I am very flexible with my schedule and would love to help others with their busy schedules by taking care of their pets as I would my own.

“Monica stayed at our home with our fur babies (2 dogs and 3 cats) for a few days over the 4th of July this year and she was amazing. She send us lots of updates, photos and videos throughout her stay, and made sure we knew they were all doing well. We were so nervous about leaving our babies over the holiday with all the fireworks, but she handled their medication and let them snuggle with her and ensured they were safe. So grateful for her and will definitely use her again!”

About: I've had dogs since I was 10 years old. I dog sit for my coworkers and family members. I have a certificate in veterinary assisting and I interned at a veterinary clinic for 2 months where I gained valuable experience with dogs and cats of all ages, I am cpr certified, I can give oral medication and injectable medications like insulin. I currently work at a middle school so I am unavailable Monday-Friday 730am-3pm however after June 4th I am available full time. Right now I can do drop in visits after 3pm on week days and any time on the weekends I rent a room in my friends house but I have a door to the backyard in my room so I have quick access to the yard for playtime or potty breaks. I have one senior dog who does not like to play with other dogs but will be respectful otherwise.

About: Being a pet owner my whole life has allowed me to understand dogs very well! I’ve dealt with bigger breeds like German Shepards and Pitt bulls, smaller breeds have always gotten along well with my demeanor. I have majority of the day to walk or take dogs to a park or allow them to explore the deserts. Let me know your dogs preference of activity. I stick to the rules, let me know what your dogs need or if they have anything that is specific for them that needs to get done!

“Jennifer was great! She is very easy going, reliable and you could tell she has experience with animals. She is very nice and friendly! Our furbabies seemed to like her and trust her, which is very important to us. We will definitely be booking with her in the future.”
