House Sitting in Alfarata

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and deep understanding of animal care. I’ve worked in the animal field for over six years, including a year at an animal shelter where I cared for cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavior types. I’m currently a veterinary assistant, so I’m confident handling medical needs when it come administering medications and recognizing signs of illness or distress. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies, senior pets with special needs, or nervous rescues, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s personality. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. It’s not just a job, but something I genuinely enjoy. Between working as a veterinary assistant and caring for my own pets, I’m constantly surrounded by animals. Feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, or just giving extra cuddles, it all fits into my day with purpose and care I care for my own pets and client pets by providing plenty of enrichment and paying close attention to their individual needs. Whether it’s interactive play, mental stimulation, or simply understanding their body language, I make sure each pet feels safe, engaged, and cared for in a way that suits their unique personality. I care for every clients pet like my own, making sure they feel comfortable and loved.

“Bridget was wonderful. She came to do a walk thru and took thorough notes. She sent pics and updates at least once a day, but some days more. She was very easy going and was so understanding on our leave times and return times when they changed. This is only the second time I left my dog with due to fear of his well being and Bridget made me so comfortable, that I had a relaxing time on my trip and did not worry about GG. Bridget is who I will go to first from now on. Not that the other person was bad cuz they were great too, but Bridget does it in my home which I feel made GG a lot less stressed and way less anxiety and he got her undivided attention, which he loved!”

“Maya was amazing and will be my first pick for watching my animals from now on. Super professional, sent me updates, and I felt so at ease leaving my babies in her care. (Almost didn’t leave a review because I don’t want her to be too in demand!)”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets. I’ve pet sat for more than 20 years and love getting to spend time with fur babies I work full time (8:30-5) and would be able to stop by over lunch to do a potty break. After work we play and cuddle! I make sure the pets are contained safely, per the owners instructions. I’m familiar with in ground fences, shock collars, and leash walking. I’m comfortable crating if that’s what the dogs are used to.

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. My family has almost always had 2 dogs. I’ve had two puppies so far that i’ve trained and raised from about 8-10 weeks. I am currently in college at the moment in State College but I live at home in Petersburg. I only have classes Monday thru Thursday and my last class of the day ends at 12:15 or 2:05 every day. I have most evenings open from then on. I do have a part time job that I usually work 4-5 days a week . I do not have a fenced in yard but I live in the country so I don’t have many neighbors or roads to worry about. My puppy stays in a kennel during the day as he still likes to chew and my older dog does not go in a crate. They both have plenty of toys to play with and a big yard to run around in.

About: I’ve taken care of many types of pets, ranging from hamsters to horses. I am willing to work with you and your furry friend to make sure everyone has the best experience possible! I am currently a high school senior, but I am available to hang out with your pet any weekday evening, or anytime on the weekends. The most important thing to me is comfort, so I do all that I can to make sure that your pet is comfortable and feels safe and loved. I won’t force them to be my friend, but I will give them as much love and attention as they want.

I’m available in the evenings from 2-7. I’m pretty flexible on what I can help out with and I can have a set schedule. I talk to the pet owner. They give me a plan to follow and they tell me what is needed. I meet the pet and follow the list

“Nicole was amazing! She watched our two dogs, one of which is a puppy, and she was so great with them. She communicated with us the whole time we were gone, sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated about how potty training was going. We can’t wait to have her back to watch Archer and Maeve again!”

About: I've grown up around critters of all types, including cats and dogs—big and small—and truly love being around animals. I currently care for my sweet senior dog, Diamond, a Maltese-Yorkie mix, so I understand the special attention older pets need. I also have experience caring for a blind dog. I've volunteered at two animal shelters and have experience pet sitting for others. I'm also very active and love going on walks or playing outside, so your pet will get plenty of exercise and attention. I treat every pet like family and always aim to provide calm, compassionate care that fits their unique personality and needs. I'm currently a student at Penn State and on summer break, so my schedule is very open. I'm taking one online class and working part-time with flexible hours, which gives me plenty of availability to walk, check in on, or stay with your pets. I'm happy to provide in-home pet sitting and can easily adjust to your pet's routine and needs throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I'm very mindful about securing doors and gates, and I have experience slipping in and out carefully so curious pets don’t sneak out. I also double-check locks and can crate your dog if needed. I always stick to your pet’s usual routine and walking routes to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'm patient, calm, and committed to creating a safe, familiar environment where your pets feel loved and cared for.

About: I have been around many different dog breeds since i was a little girl, so i am pretty knowledgeable as far as walking, playing, feeding, bathing and spending time with your sweet companion! I have good experience, and had a yorkie that has now passed on. We have a German shepherd, and he will be here with us very soon! I currently don’t work anything past 4p, so I’m free in the evenings ! I could also do weekend visits, or stays if needed as well I had a sweet little yorkie named bailey and he has crossed the 🌈 bridge. We are welcoming our newest boy, cinche who is a GSD this coming July!🐾

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as I can, just comes second nature for me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having! I’m hoping to make Rover a full-time career! That’s how much I love animals! I’m very flexible with all your pet caring needs so if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know! Although I'm unable to watch your pups at my home, I'll make sure they're safe at yours! I make sure I understand the pups needs, routine, and any specific care instructions provided by you, the owner. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring their environment is safe and clean, exercising them, and administering medications or treatments if required.

About: I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember. Currently have 2 Coton De Tulears plus four alpacas, three bee hives, and over 125 birds (poultry). I work remote so my schedule is flexible. Prefer to be able to coordinate directly to ensure the best care for your pets. I’m very flexible. I’m a big fan of treating pets like they’re my own. I demand the highest levels of care for my animals and will certainly do the same for yours!
