Dog Sitting Ada

“Katie is truly a star sitter! We scheduled 3 drop-in visits for our 5 year old golden retriever and they went off without a hitch. Katie followed all our care instructions, took pictures and gave updates, and even took him on a walk and brought in some packages on the front porch to avoid them getting rained on. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I’ve had a deep connection with animals for as long as I can remember. I’m constantly around fur babies and fully commit to their care. I am comfortable around all dogs, big or small, always more than willing to learn how to cater to your specific animal! When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will give my undivided attention and love. I am dedicated and follow instructions extremely well, going above and beyond to complete tasks. I grew up with a Newfoundland so I am no stranger to misjudged breeds! I’m currently self employed with a very flexible weekly schedule, so plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am open to drop ins and house sitting any day of the week, although I would still stop at home daily to nurture my cat Aurora and the ferals I feed. 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup much needed exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation. 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks/litter refresh, feeding, playtime, and of course snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your fur baby so they have company and comfort in their own home, Along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks/litter refresh, meals, playtime, and cuddles.

About: Always an animal lover, volunteer for a rescue in China (pictures on Google) current animal rescuer and adopter. Love to walk and play with the animals. I currently work from home, so I can fit in my schedule and take breaks for play or short walks outside. We are pretty available. We have our own animals we care for, there is a fence, there is water & food, there are animals to play with. Being around the house allows is to constantly watch and care for the animals.

“Every happy with the quality of service, communication and Molly her 4 paws up. Definitely a repeat sitter for us.”

“Morgan was able to come on short note while we were in town. Communication was excellent and my yorkie loved her right away.”

About: **Beginning 9/22/26 we will be taking a few months hiatus as we welcome our first baby! If you are one of our routine clients, feel free to message us anyway as we may be ready to take dogs sooner - you never know 😊** I moved away from the New England area during the pandemic and came to the Midwest where I didn’t know anyone. Back home, I had friends and family begging me to go on vacation so they could dog sit my dog, but here, without knowing too many people, finding a dog sitter was a really difficult ordeal. Thankfully, Rover and other apps helped, especially when I was able to travel again. I'm looking to help out in the same way this app and others helped me. I live in a large home with my wife Kelly, two dog friendly cats, and a very chill dog of our own. Pearl and Boy are our orange kitties and Candy is a 55lb brown lab mix. Candy and I used to be a certified therapy animal team when we had more time on our hands. All three animals love company (mostly human company but other animals are more than welcome, too) so your pet will definitely not be alone while you're away between us five. We do have a fenced-in yard and all dogs are welcome to roam the entire house - especially if you also allow that in your home. But if your animal needs their own space, we have a loft area, the yard, and various dog beds to decompress throughout the house. The old owners of our home used to be dog breeders and the home came with amenities specifically catered to hosting dogs. While we don’t and won’t breed ourselves, these features of the home make a great dog-friendly home for any pet while you’re away! We both work full time but Kelly is home three days a week and I’m home the other two. Typically my day revolves around when I should take the dogs out anyway. Usually one walk around 7am, another around noon, another around 5 when I get back and one before bed. How we care for your pet will be completely up to you and how you normally care for them. The goal is to keep the disruption of a routine to a minimum while treating your dog to a change of scenery and a new friend

“We love working with Alexandria and our pets do too. They always seem so happy when we get back and well cared for. We have several pets that need medications and just general aging. She goes above and beyond to keep them comfortable when we are away.”

About: I work remotely, which means I have a flexible schedule and can spend plenty of time with pets while caring for them in the comfort of their own home. I've been a dog and cat owner since 2009, and while my two dogs sadly passed away a few years ago, that experience taught me a lot about routines, personalities, and all the little quirks that make each pet unique. I know many pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible, whether that's walks, playtime, meals, medication, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I'm used to everything from energetic zoomies to picky eaters to pets with very specific walk preferences, and I do my best to meet each pet where they are. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you're never left wondering how things are going and can relax knowing your pet is receiving plenty of attention, care, and affection while you're away. Working from home gives me a lot of flexibility to fit pet care naturally into my day, whether that's walks, meals, playtime, medication, or simply spending quality time together. Because I work remotely, most pets are rarely left alone for extended periods, which can be especially helpful for dogs who experience separation anxiety or just enjoy having company around. I do my best to keep pets' routines as consistent as possible, since many dogs are most comfortable when their day feels familiar and predictable. Whether it's sticking to their normal walking schedule, feeding times, favorite activities, or just providing companionship, my goal is to help them feel relaxed, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I provide pet care in your pet's home, where many dogs and cats feel most comfortable and secure. My goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible by following their usual schedules for walks, meals, playtime, medications, and anything else that helps them feel at ease. I make sure pets receive plenty of one-on-one attention, companionship, and care while you're away, so they're not just being watched, they're being cared for. If I'm house sitting, I'm also happy to help with small household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping an eye on the home. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you always know how things are going. Since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, I'm able to accommodate midday breaks, overnight stays, and longer care periods. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for in the place they know best. I might use pictures of pets in my care for social media and marketing purposes; I will never disclose private information or showcase a home. If you have questions about this, please feel free to ask!

“Isabella was reliable and communicated well when needed.”

“Oh my goodness, amazing! It’s clear she is an animal lover and caretaker. The thoughtful updates on what the kitties were up to and what she did during her time at the check in were so helpful and made me feel so at ease. Will DEFINITELY rebook. Thank you SO much Moira!!!”

“Pamela did a great job with Bella. They became fast friends and she treated Bella like on of her own. Was excellent with communication and updates during her visita. Would definitely recommend her.”

About: I have a lot of experience taking care of my family’s dogs (Bernese Mountain Dogs) and dogsitting for friends and neighbors. I have a lot of energy, so I am willing to walk, run, and play with your dog. I am also willing to take your dog to a dog park to get out some more energy. I also offer house sitting. I am a middle school teacher, so during the week I am only available for drop-ins and walks after 3:40. If I am dogsitting for you during the week, there will be times that I am gone for 8-9 hours at work. But on most weekends, I wouldn’t be gone for more than 3-4 hours at a time, and would spend the rest of the time home with your pet making them feel safe and loved! I work full time from 7:30-3:30 on weekdays, but have a lot of afternoon and evening availability for drop-ins and walks. I am also available for early morning drop-ins before 7:00 am. I follow all of the routines, procedures, and feeding instructions left by the pet’s family in order to provide great care for the pet and to ensure the home is safe and secure.

“Lindsay was so great with our Bodhi! We were in a pinch to find a dog sitter and she was able to help with everything we needed. Certainly would boom again!”

About: Hello! I've been a Registered Nurse for over 19 years in a variety of settings. I spent 10 years at the beside in hospitals, volunteered internationally, performed chronic care coordination, and abstracted data for research. I currently work remotely for a health tech company in New York City which allows me to work from anywhere in the United States. I love travel, hiking, yoga, water activities and eating! I've grown up surrounded by animals- my family had two dogs, two cats and two hamsters for many years. Every summer my extended family meets at my Grandparents' northern Michigan island cottage and we often have more dogs than people! I'm easy-going, responsible and will care for your property and pets as if they were my own. I also petsit on Trusted Housesitters while working remotely and exploring the country. I am more than happy to share the stellar reviews on that platform if you'd like to see more recent petsitting activity. I work remotely with a super flexible schedule and I love to break up time spent on my laptop with dog walks or pet playtime! I can easily care for your pets in their home environment where they are the most comfortable. This allows for the added bonus of keeping an eye on your home while you're away.

About: Volunteered and then worked full-time at an animal shelter, fell in love with our fluffy friends, and can't wait to make more! I was a long-time volunteer (2+ years) at the Ausable Valley Animal Shelter. Then I transitioned into a full-time position there as an animal technician and learned so much about general animal care, medication procedures, and sanitation requirements to meet state health codes. I truly miss being able to visit with new animals every day and look forward to bringing the bark (and meow) back into my life! I'm a student, which means class times are often at odd hours, leaving many mornings open to check in on pets, keep them company, or get in some doggy exercise! I am also available almost all Fridays-Sundays, making me the perfect option for pet sitting during your weekend plans. See below for more detailed availability (updated for Sept-Dec)! Monday : not available Tuesday : 7am-2pm & 6pm-10pm Wednesday : 7am-11am and 5pm-10pm Thursday : 7am-2pm & 6pm-10pm Friday-Sunday : all day availability I am an incredibly clean and organized person. I always try to leave the homes I pet-sit in just as they were when I entered, even if that means a bit extra clean-up!

About: We’ve had a family puppy for as long as I can remember! My brother and I do lots of volunteering between nearby shelters and we also do watch other dogs. My aunt has two German Shepards and a pit-bull that I watch quite often so I have experience with bigger dogs as well. I’m currently working a full time job from 8:30-4:30 PM, M-F. I can watch a dog any day during the week and or overnight as long as they can go that long without potty breaks! If the house is nearby I can go on my lunches to let the pets out :) We currently have an electric fence and colar for our puppy and are very cautious any time letting him out. I will give the same care for your puppy any time I am around it!

“Had to do last minute planning and she came through! Thank you so much. You were great ❤️”

“Amanda was so quick to respond and friendly to communicate with! She did an amazing job with our Wrigley and it was great to know that we could depend on her timely visit to our house. We look forward to calling on her again for help sometime soon.”

About: I've raised and cared for my baby dog Lola also known as lolanaptimepartygirl since I was 10, pets have always played a very important role in my life. I love animals of all kinds and ages having 4 senior dogs of my own. I believe all animals deserve love and respect as they are not only friends but family, and it is truly an honor to get to exist in a world where we are able to connect with and care for such beautiful kind creatures. I work a part time job that's pretty flexible so I'm relatively available whenever. My schedule changes weekly so just let me know what you need and I'll make it work! I understand that concern for your pets safety is the most important aspect of pet sitting. I want you to have peace of mind while trusting me with your pet. I am very attentive and cautious when it comes to pet care. And I make sure every box is checked when it comes to safety! If you have any concerns when leaving your pet let me know and I will make sure we figure out a way to solve them.

About: I’ve been responsible for friends and family’s pets since roughly 16, more recently cats in the last 4 years. Plenty of experience all the way from small skittish beagles to large reactive pit mix’s. The key is patience and that’s one thing I can promise with your pet, understanding and dealing with different breeds, ages, sizes, behaviors and sometimes even disabilities/health concerns (we love em all). Also have experience with cats, all the way to senior cats with disabilities/health concerns (hearing & kidney failure) to fat cats with spicy attitude, I would like to say I have a plethora of different experience to care for your pet. Lastly, I think I would be a great sitter by being patient and simply understanding what pets mean to people! I do work full time in office but have work from home flexibility, as well as I pick my hours so can be available if needed. I prefer boarding on the weekends but can be available during the week! I can be available to let your dog out every 2 hours if needed, as well as give medication, feed them, and play with them as well. I live in a 1BR Deluxe duplex, have half of the first floor house to myself, so ample room for another or two. Do have liter box, as well as enough space for another if needed. As well as enough space for a dog crate and their favorite toys, food and treats :) My young pit mix has plenty of space shared with Gibby my cat, but they always choose to lay on the same bed together !
