House Sitting Alfalfa

“Kaili did a great job with taking care of our pups and our home. She went above expectations! We will be calling her again next time we need a sitter.”

Janet F.

“Would highly recommend Michael! His daily updates and pictures gave us peace of mind during our trip. He was patient with our rambunctious 7 month old boxer puppy and even got him crate trained for us! We will definitely use him again going forward.”

“Madison stayed overnight and watched our dog Panda and cat Comet. She did a fabulous job! Great communicator and sent photos to let us know how things were going. Our pets were clearly well-loved and in good hands. I would definitely hire Madison again to take care of our fur-babies.”

“Heather is great! She takes amazing care of our pup, and we came home to a spotless house. Such great peace of mind having her house sit!”

“Sherry deserves the utmost praise for the exceptional care she provided for our much loved Luna during our travels. Luna is inseparable from me, and our bond is unbreakable. When financial constraints made it difficult for us to bring her along to England, we were determined to find someone who would be incredibly understanding and patient with her as she struggled with our absence. Sherry proved to be an exceptional communicator, sending us pictures and updates on Luna’s well-being throughout the entire stay. Her thoughtfulness extended beyond her care for Luna; she also helped Luna adjust to her new environment after a few days, which significantly eased our concerns. Upon our return home, we were greeted by a beautifully maintained house and a joyful Luna. We are overjoyed to have found a reliable and compassionate caretaker in Sherry. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

About: I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds and ages. As a licensed pharmacist, I have extensive experience safely administering medications — both to pets and humans — and I’m very comfortable following detailed care instructions to make sure your furry family members get exactly the care they need. I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with a wonderful German Shepherd and two rescue cats. Though my current housing situation doesn’t allow me to have pets of my own right now, I still cherish every moment I get to spend with other people’s pets. I especially love active dogs — bonus points if yours is a frisbee enthusiast! You can trust that your pets will receive attentive, compassionate care in a calm and structured environment while you’re away. I work part-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide lots of attentive, one-on-one time with your pets throughout the day. I’m very active and love going on walks, runs, or trips to the park, so I’m a great match for energetic dogs or playful cats. My availability is generally flexible, though it works best if you’re comfortable with my children (ages 9 and 11) joining me during visits if your booking falls on my parenting time (please ask if it’s an issue). I’ve been trusted by many clients — including friends and strangers alike — to care for their beloved pets and homes. I provide daily updates and photos throughout each booking so you can stay connected and feel completely at ease while you’re away.

About: I have over 8 years experience with caregiving for others in the comfort of their own homes. 90% of my jobs have been caretaking for animals, homes, pets, and children because it is what I love to do. I’ve sat for teachers, family, and friends. Usually a mix of cats and dogs, but I would love to sit turtles, birds and other pets! I have experience sitting for spicy chihuahua’s, schnoodles, shih tzu’s, and lots of different fish and cats! I have taken care of a pets with special needs as well! I enjoy getting to know each pet individually, so definitely share the details about how your pet likes to listen to classical music when alone and/or sniffs doorknobs! I am not an expert by any means. I am learning more about pets everyday, and i cannot begin to tell you all the different types of breeds i’ve taken care of, but i have a few pictures! I am not a florist, I love me a good succulent though! I love plants, and yes I will water, talk to your plants and do my best to take care of them! Schedule: Okay so, I am FT working, however, I am up for house-sitting during the week only if you are okay with me being gone for about 8 hours / day at work! Besides that, weekends would be great if you are looking for a sitter to have more open availability including more play time / walks etc.. Walks and check-ins I am open to, however, it will depend on if you are within walking distance of me as of now! Honestly, just reach out to me and let me know what's up and we can figure it out! Fun facts about me: Librarian who moved 2000 miles home JUST to move back to the PNW a year later. Unpredictably adventurous and anxiety-filled. Taking a gap year before going back to school and getting another degree under my belt. I really would like to network and pet sit on the sides while I am here for extra cash while traveling and exploring the beautiful PNW. While working and staying in clients' home i make sure to follow instructions when walking dogs and even basic instructions in the home whether thats closing doors and having specified no pet zones or making sure the cats or dogs are not in the toilet! I like to have emergency contacts just in case!

“Chaundra is great, she helped me out on very short notice and is a perfect substitute kitty mom for our cat Guapo. We arrived home to a relaxed and well behaved pet, and he clearly enjoyed his play time based on the photos and videos I received. I would definitely book Chaundra again in the future.”

“Brittney was so genuine and sweet with Emma, gave me lots of photos and updates, and took great care of my house. I will absolutely be booking with Brittney for my next trip!”

Kristen Q.

“Yonah was incredible with our dog Bonnie! I got lots of photo updates which I love and Bonnie has never been so content and relaxed after a visit with the sitter. We can’t wait to rebook her again!”

About: I'm a recent college graduate and am back in town, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pets!

“Haley was an exceptional caregiver and house sitter. Her communication was awesome, she asked great questions, and kept me up to date. She also coordinated with my aunt who was coming to stay right after her and made my vacation more relaxing because I knew everything was in such good hands. Thank you Haley!”

“Danielle, Brodin and Chia are awesome people and dog. I asked to them to watch my little girl at last minute, what I never do because I like to meet up the people who will watch zoey first but it was one emergency. I never met them but as soon I saw them I knew I could trust my dog with them because they have such a GREAT vibe and I could see their daughter chia (dog) was really well cared and sweet. My little girl zoey got home so happy and really tired so I could see she had a wonderful time. Thanks Danielle, Borodin and Chia. We are definitely going to contact you guys again I am sure zoey is looking forward to play with her friend chia again. Thanks thanks thanks”

About: I was born on a ranch in Colorado and have been caring for animals since before I can remember. My first jobs were pet sitting neighbors dogs and cats and taking care of other animals, as well as my own puppies and kittens. Not only that but it’s always been a responsibility and a priority, not just a fun time. I put the welfare and happiness of the pets I care for above all else and enjoy giving them the love they deserve while you’re away! I’m currently working online so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available nights, weekends, and Thanksgiving. I’m busy on Thursday nights 6-8 pm but can work around that to keep your pets happy and healthy. Remote worker— your pets are my priority. Active walker, hiker, and reader: would love to get out and exercise or snuggle with your furry friends.

About: Hi! I provide long-term, in-home house and pet sitting across the U.S. for homeowners who want their space handled consistently—not checked on, but actually lived in and maintained. I specialize in 1+ week stays and travel intentionally for sits, so I’m not juggling multiple local clients or rushing in and out. When I’m booked, your home is my focus. I work with residential homes and household pets, chickens, rabbits only (no farms or large animals). I've done my time - hay is not my friend. Services: Long-term, in-home house sitting (2+ weeks minimum, negotiable if you're near the prior site) Overnight pet care (dogs, cats, household pets) Daily routines: feeding, medications, walks, litter Home care: mail, plants, trash, light cleaning, upkeep Full-time presence to maintain a lived-in, secure home This is not drop-in care—this is full coverage while you’re away. Experiance: I grew up on a hobby farm, so responsibility and animal care were part of everyday life early on. Now, I focus specifically on home environments and household pets, not farm or livestock care. My background in running businesses and managing operations means I’m organized, detail-aware, and dependable—especially in environments that require trust and consistency. I adapt quickly to new homes and follow established routines closely. Why should I hire you? Because I’m built for this type of arrangement. I travel specifically for longer sits—your home isn rarely one of several stops I don’t need supervision or micromanaging I communicate clearly and consistently - there might even be some pet pictures in your phone :) I handle issues calmly and practically You’re not coordinating with a sitter—you’re handing off your home to someone who can run it. Any special qualifications or training? Strong independent decision-making Comfortable managing homes solo for extended periods High attention to detail and respect for personal spaces Calm, steady, and reliable I’m also comfortable learning specific pet routines, medications, or household preferences. What’s your availability? North America availability Minimum stay: 2 weeks Open to extended and repeat sits Travel-ready and flexible with advance notice Once booked, I commit fully to that stay. Personality / Fit I’m calm, observant, and self-sufficient. Not high-drama, not flaky. Best fit: Homeowners traveling for extended periods People who want consistency without micromanaging I also work with executives who are in and out and need a temporary house guest (under 6 months) Not a fit: Less than 10 days Farms, livestock, or horse care (this can possibly be vaived with a conversation - I am very familar with animals) Your home stays in order, and your pets get real attention—not just care. I provide steady, full-time presence in your home. As a digital nomad, I work remotely, which means your pets aren’t left alone for long stretches and their routines stay consistent. I’m not rotating between clients or dropping in—I’m there, living in the space and keeping things running normally. I grew up around a wide mix of animals, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Some pets want constant attention, some want space, and some need structure—I meet them where they are and follow your routines closely, including feeding, medications, and daily habits. I also enjoy being outdoors, so walking dogs and getting animals outside is a natural part of the day, as long as that aligns with what they’re used to. It’s not forced—it’s just part of how I operate. You can expect a calm, low-drama environment. I tend to be observant and consistent, which animals respond well to. I’ll keep communication clear and reasonable—updates and photos as agreed—without overwhelming you while you’re away. Your home will be respected and maintained. I keep things clean, organized, and handled like they matter. And beyond all of that, I genuinely enjoy animals. This is how I get my “pet fix” while traveling, so I’m not just checking boxes—I actually like spending time with your pets. Your pets are the priority while you’re away. I keep a close, consistent eye on them and pay attention to small changes in behavior, appetite, or energy so issues are caught early, not after they’ve escalated. I maintain a calm, predictable environment and follow your routines closely to reduce stress and keep things stable. I’m comfortable handling medications and will administer them exactly as instructed, whether that’s daily dosing, timed schedules, or more specific routines. If something feels off, I act quickly and communicate clearly—using your preferred vet, emergency contacts, and instructions. It's also important for you to know that I grew up in a rural (farm) envirnment. and other animals are on the table - currently watching a home with 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 goats and 9 chickens. Haying and watering are fine, but I don't feel capable of cow milking, horse riding, etc. You can expect a steady, attentive presence focused on keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time you’re gone.

“Alexa was wonderful! She was able to watch my pup on super short notice and was so accommodating. She was so sweet with my quirky dog and spent lots of time with him. She gave him his meds and followed instructions for his care. I got updates and even a cute video. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Renee (Martha) and Martin were patient with my young cat, Jazz, while she took her time to warm up to them on their first stay with her. And, historically fearful of males (pre-rescue experiences, perhaps), Martin gave Jazz the space, time and understanding to get to know and trust him. I was so appreciative! It took almost a week-plus but by the end of the 15 day stay, she was snuggling and purring in his lap. Amazing! I’ll hope they’ll be available for future stays!”

Elie G.

“Lexi was super communicative and responsive. She took Scout on some awesome adventures and made us feel like he was in good hands while we were away.”
