House Sitting in Albin

“Was gone for about 3 days. Jessica was able to provide me with a morning and afternoon report on how my pets were doing and sent me plenty of pictures. I was so grateful and was able to enjoy my trip knowing that they were in good hands. My 2 cats and pup were so comfortable with her. Definitely recommend and will rebook again!”

About: I have been a pet owner for as long as I can remember. I have had both dogs and cats and love them both equally. I have cared for pets for both family members and friends. I've watched all types of animals with many different personalities. On top of pet sitting, I have fostered multiple litters of kittens, which has taught me patience and attentiveness. In my free time, I also enjoy volunteering at a local rescue to help walk dogs. I understand the hard work, attention and love that goes into managing any kind of animal, and I am willing to do just about anything to make sure that your pet feels loved and safe. I am a grad student who only has in person classes on Tuesday typically 8am - 4pm, which makes me very flexible for the rest of the week. I am very conscious about safety when it comes to walk, and/or letting dogs out in a fenced in area. I am sure to read any instructions before hand to learn about any issues individual pet needs.

“Linda was a life-saver and took such great care of our pets and house so we could attend to a last minute family emergency. She did a fantastic job and we will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Kristine is a warm and caring individual and my dogs picked up on that immediately. She was fantastic with our three German Shepherds. She took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She was respectful of our property, cleaned up after herself and the dogs, and went above and beyond by mopping up after a rainstorm and even throwing linens in the wash before we returned. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was being handled so thoughtfully. Great communication, too. I would absolutely book Kristine again and highly recommend. Kristine, if you’re reading this, thank you so much for putting up with all the shedding, the Shepherds were dropping their coats like crazy.”

“Kathy took excellent care in our home of our 6-month old puppy, as well as our 3 adult cats, 1 kitten and 1 hamster while we were out of town for 5 nights. She carefully reviewed and followed all care instructions. She took good care of our home also. She was responsive, respectful and courteous at all times. She sent regular updates and photos, and messaged us with questions as appropriate. We would not hesitate to request her services again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and got into dog training 2 years ago. I assisted a dog training company with the dogs they would board and care for, and assisted with multiple training outings. I also raised and trained my own service animal. I’m currently working part time, and will focus solely on providing care for your pet and home. They are my number one priority and love to do things with them. I will take them on long walks and do training with them to get their brain going. I’ll make sure their meals are extra tasty and made with love.

“Our 130# Newfoundland and cat were well taken care of. Communication was great, even using a different app since we were in Europe. Would not hesitate to use Charlotte again, she cared for our animals like they were hers.”

Giovanna C.

“Jennifer was a doll! She was so kind and caring. She even sent pics of our babies while we were on vacation and kept in touch with us. We can’t wait to call on her for next time!”

“Haley did a great job keeping my high energy Border collies content. She was great with status reports and communications. Will definitely keep her in mind next time. Very happy with her. Thanks Haley”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have 4 cats and a 4-month-old puppy, so I understand the patience, attention, and love pets need every single day. Growing up surrounded by animals taught me how to care for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. From playful puppies to independent cats, I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets lots of affection and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently work a flexible part-time job, which gives me plenty of time throughout the week to care for pets and give them the attention they deserve. Since I also have 4 cats and a 4-month-old puppy of my own, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I enjoy spending my free time with them. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, young, or older. In a client’s home, I always follow instructions carefully to keep pets on their normal routine and help them feel as stress-free and comfortable as possible while their owner is away.

“Shannon was great with our dog for a 2 night house sitting. She was excellent with communication and gave us updates and pictures while we were gone. She left our home in great condition, and we would definitely use her again!”

“Megan is the best. I never have to worry about leaving my baby girl thanks to her. Megan always takes such great care of her and sends me updates consistently. Highly recommend her!”

“Katherine was absolutely great with Donner and Murphy during the storms we had yesterday. Played with them cuddled with them to comfort them. We’ll definitely have back as needed.”

About: While I don’t have any professional experience taking care of dogs or cats, I’ve had dogs my entire life. I love animals and getting spend time with them while earning money is a dream come true. I currently do have a full time job but can drop in for walks before and after work. I’m also available full time on weekends and for overnight care weekly. I have a small fenced in yard but an also capable of walking them outside. I have a cat, a snake, and 3 dogs. One of which is a senior diabetic poodle so I have experience with injecting medications.

“Maya is fantastic - excellent communication, very reliable and most importantly, takes great care of my dogs. She really went above and beyond to work with one of my dogs who is nervous around new people. I highly recommend Maya and will definitely work with her again!”

Erin M.

“She was amazing! Came on time, follow all the instructions with my little puppy. Send me the updates and photos of Poet. Puppy was happy and safe when I came back home. Her prices are very affordable. You can feel that she loves the animals. Highly recommend Christopher!”

“Mary was wonderful! She took care of Pippa for a week! I will definitely be asking her back. She kept me posted with pictures and videos. When the power flickered and caused the AC to go out, she tried troubleshooting, and then dealt with the electrician and HVAC tech. I felt very good wirh Mary yaking care of that and Pippa too!”

About: (Formerly Kamp Kelley) I have been fostering small dogs for a rescue group in No. VA. for the last 9 years (my aching back doesn’t allow me to work with dogs larger than 20 lbs)--prior to that I fostered cats and kittens. I has experience with many types of small dogs—especially Shih Tzu’s and Llasa Apso’s, but also Yorkshire Terriers, Basset Hounds, Pom's, Toy Poodles, etc. My expertise is in rescuing and caring for senior and special need dogs. Since I have a dog-friendly house and a large-fenced yard (1/4 acre) for them to run and play in, I decided to become a dog-sitter 5 years ago. I believe in loving and treating your fur-baby like my own! We keep her home and yard dog proof so your little angel will be in a safe, relaxed, dog-friendly, and loving environment! Because I am retired, my schedule is very flexible. I'm retired and except for occasional trips to the store, bi-weekly Bridge games. monthly book group and a occasional meeting, I'm home ALL THE TIME. At this point, I am accepting only ONE dog at a time EXCEPT if there are 2 dogs from the same household. Same for cats. I have a large, fenced yard that can be separated off. I have lots of dog equipment. For example large crates if your dog is used to being crated, bowls, beds and cushions, a big bed for them to share with me, jackets, leashes, kongs and lots of love and affection. Same for cats--EXCEPT, I let them out only on the back deck (enclosed).

About: I have owned and trained dogs most of my life, grew up on a farm with all types of pets and find it second nature to treat them like family. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can house sit, drop in or stay with your pet as long as you need someone. My dog has a fenced in yard and is at day care for socialization M-F so I can have my full attention on your dog. I currently work from home part time so I have plenty of time for your pet! I am awake early and have a flexible schedule to fit yours. I make sure you and your pet are comfortable with me and follow instruction when caring for your pet. You know your pet best and I want them to be happy and content with me.
