House Sitting in Alfred

“Joey was amazing as a dog walker and house sitter. We were gone for 10 days and he totally held down the fort! Our dog bonded well with him. Joey did a great job of taking care of our cherished family member and home. We’ll use him again and highly recommend.”

“She babysat for a week back, and was amazing she is very respectful and trust worthy and would be a great dog sitter for anyone in need!”

“Catarah and Patrick were amazing!!!! They came for a "meet and Greet" and were very professional and had a list of things they needed to know in order to take the best care of Brie! While we were away they were putting up pictures of Brie as well as updates as to how things were going. They cleaned the whole house!!!!!! And washed the linens they used. They left a nice note as well as a little treat for me and my husband. We were thrilled with them! And so was Brie! I would highly recommend them!!”

“Taylor is a great get animal person she loves her animals like they are her children. I would trust her with my animals all day.”

“Melissa has been amazing with animals since she was a young girl. Many times while in vacation I felt fortunate to have her as a neighbor to keep track of our beloved pets. From my daughter’s little critters like hamsters and even rats to our Family Great Danes she has always just taken such good care of them while we are away. She even took a friends Quaker parrot for a week while she went on vacation and did a great job with him. I highly recommend Melissa , and know she can handle the care of most any pet.”

“Elizabeth was wonderful! She stayed at our home for 6 nights, and replied to texts immediately and sent pictures of our 2 dogs and 2 cats everyday. The pets took to her right away. She has a calming demeanor and very polite. I highly recommend Elizabeth.”

“Shauna was wonderful with Ozzie. She came to our campsite and took care of him while we went out. She was flexible with her hrs. and came 2 days in a row. He gets very nervous whenever I leave and she was able to keep him calm and happy. He generally takes a while to warm up to people and he took to her immediately. I would highly recommend her.”

“Krystina was flexible and accommodating, happily adjusting to changes in departure times and pet-care needs. Throughout her time with Trot and Tag, two large high-energy retrievers who are a handful for most, Krystina wore them out playing fetch in the backyard and sent me pictures with updates, allowing for a worry-free time away from home. Trot, and Tag had a great time hanging out with Krystina the past few days and are excited to have her sit again soon.”

About: I have been working in the animal industry my whole life. Through the years I have done rescue for domestic animals and wildlife. I also volunteered for the SPCA Law enforcement to protect animals in need. I still volunteer my time for worthy animal causes when I can. With my vast experience, I will care for your pet like they were my own. Special note for overnight stays. We provide almost overnight which is 2 hours in the evening and 1 hour in the am. We can also work out more time if needed and will change prices accordingly. We do not sleep overnight at clients' homes as stated in rates due to full drop-in and walking schedules. Thank you. Our visits range currently early am and after 5:30 pm. **Special note** Meet and greets are free and required before accepting any booking. They keep our sitters safe and customers happy with our services. Thank you for your understanding. My schedule is pretty flexible weekdays and weekends. The app will always be updated to the current schedule. If in doubt drop me a message! In clients home I like to keep to their schedule that they are used to with you to make them feel comfortable. Anything that will make them feel better or less anxious let me know and I will be happy to implement.

About: I quickly became a dog mom when my partner moved into my house with his 5 year old dog Sampson. I fell in love with our daily walks in the field behind our house, as well as having something to take care of in the house. Sampson listens, he is a dog I can walk off leash and the best cuddle buddy. Because of his good nature I soon found myself growing our family by the addition of two puppies. Hank was our first pup - he is a Great pyreenes mixed with a Bernese Mountain Dog. Think fluffy, slobbery, and 140 pounds. I wasn't sure how a big dog and myself would get along but I found his size comforting. Stella was a dog we failed at fostering. She is a smaller terrier mix and is teaching me the true purpose of crates and leashes. I learn every day how to be better for my dogs. It is chaotic, messy and unpredictable living with three dogs but I wouldn't change it for anything. I am by no means a perfect dog owner but I understand the complexities and uniqueness of each dog and their personalities. I rely on being consistent and predictable for my dogs so they continue to trust me to take care of them. Their health and happiness is my priority. I am a school teacher. When school is in session I am free after 5pm. When we are on break for holidays or summer, I am free anytime. At my house, I don't have a fenced in yard but we have over 20 acres to walk. I am comfortable walking dogs on a leash. I have a crate for a medium to small sized dog and an outdoor "doggio" for warmer days or if a furry friend wants some time outdoors relaxing. I have three dogs, one of which is a very large and enjoys rough housing with other dogs. We have lots of toys and a house that that continues to become dog proof. We let our dogs on the couches and they have a large living room to play in.

“Sari is amazing!!! My father was unexpectedly hospitalized and I was scrambling trying to find care for his dog. Sari came through with flying colors! She was so flexible and dogs really love her! My father was released but then readmitted a couple days later and Sari was there that night ready to help again. I will be using her for my dog this summer and will recommend her to everyone!”

“Kaitlyn does a great job with our dog and cats. She is loving and caring. She is very polite, responsible and loves helping out whenever I need her. I would highly recommend her to anyone”
