House Sitting in Alonzo

“Rhonda is wonderful! It's been nearly a year and a half since we've gone away for a vacation or long weekend. Our last pet sitter moved away, and we're kind of picky when it comes to someone watching our babies. We knew we had found a gem when our 2 girls who are shy and standoffish went right up to greet Rhonda when she came out to meet us and our dogs. She kept us updated while we were away, which allowed us to enjoy ourselves without worrying. We already have two more stays scheduled with Rhonda and hope to add more!”

“I thought she did an exceptional job with my girls. I was very happy with how she handled them while we were gone. I loved the photos and videos she sent to us. Really made us feel assured. She also left us a journal of each day, was not necessary, but we enjoyed reading it.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and small pets. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or needs special care, I take the time to understand their personality and make them feel safe and loved. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love what I do. Let me give your pet the care and attention they deserve while you’re gone! I work part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility during the week and on weekends. I can usually fit in morning and evening visits, and I’m happy to adjust where I can to fit your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in your home or mine, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of love, structure, and attention. I take time to learn each animal’s routine, dietary needs, and quirks so they feel safe and understood. In your home, I always treat your space with respect—keeping things clean and sticking to your pet’s usual routine to reduce stress. I provide regular check-ins, photos, and updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. Whether it’s a dog who needs long walks or a shy cat who prefers a quiet spot, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel secure and cared for every step of the way.

“We had a couple dates we needed to be without the dog while visiting in Madras. I was nervous about leaving Wren out of town with someone we had not met yet. Nishell was super helpful and comunicative with me about dates and times that changed a couple times. She was very accomodating! Sweetest girl ever and Wren did really well with her even being a stranger! I hope she will be available when we come back on our next trip. She walked him fed him did everything she could think of to make him feel at home. We are so appreciative! If you live in Madras you should use her!”

I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my day—before work, after work, and in the evenings. I always be sure to make the pet I’m looking after my first priority! I understand that every pet is unique, so I always follow your care and safety instructions exactly as provided.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds! From golden doodle puppies to Labrador seniors I’ve cared for them! I had a childhood dog that I spent ever day with for 14 years that just recently passed but my mom and I cared for her every day. She had many dietary needs and help as she became older so I’m very familiar with those challenges! I’m also familiar with the challenges with many puppies as I used to puppy sit for an old friend in college who had a sweet baby with MANY needs (as most fur babies do:)). I love to meet new sweet animals every day and can’t wait to hopefully meet yours!!! I’m a recent college graduate currently in the job-search phase, so I’m very free any day of the week for animals! Weekdays are preferred, but weekends are totally doable with enough notice! I currently cannot house animals at my home due to owning a huge German shepherd who isn’t the best with new faces sadly. But, I’m more than available to meet you at your home and care for your pets as needed any time of day!

“I would give Kennedy 100 stars if I could! She was an absolute team player and stepped in immediately when we had another bad sitter experience. Kennedy took on the job with little to no insight and not getting to meet us or our pets ahead of time. She took over in the most effortless way and let us enjoy the remainder of our vacation knowing our pets were in such excellent hands! She communicated very well and even communicated more to ease our anxiety. Kennedy is a rockstar and took initiative on asking if I needed any care of stuff I didn’t mention in my notes or a drop in before we made it home! Words will never be enough to praise her great work ethic. She truly cares about your pets like her own. Thank you for absolutely everything you did to help us Kennedy!”

About: Hey there! I’m Haley. If you’re anything like me, your pets are family. 🩷🩷 I’m confident with pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. Whether your pet needs medications at specific times, your cat is skittish around new people, or your senior pup needs a little extra TLC — I’ve got it handled with patience, experience, and a whole lot of heart. I genuinely pay attention to the little things — their habits, moods, body language, what makes them feel at ease — and I always aim to make their time with me feel like a safe, happy extension of home. I’m especially tuned in to pets with anxiety or special needs. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby behind, and I do everything I can to make that process feel smooth and comforting for both of you. Expect open communication, photo updates, and lots of love given in your absence. I’m not just a sitter — I’m a calm presence, a routine-keeper, a play buddy, and most importantly, someone who genuinely loves animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own. If that sounds like what you’ve been looking for, I’d love to meet you (and your four-legged bestie)!🩷 Pet care is part of my everyday life—I build my schedule around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s morning feedings, mid-day walks, or evening check-ins, I make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which makes me available for frequent visits and extended stays if needed. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. In your home, I keep their space clean, secure, and familiar. I follow all your routines and instructions closely—whether it’s crate time, diet, or meds. In my home, I maintain a quiet space with plenty of supervision. I communicate with pet parents frequently, with photos and updates for peace of mind.

“Excellent sitter & very kind. Went above & beyond for my pup”

About: I have over 18 years of personal experience and am so happy to have made a career helping dogs and owners. I am home full time and have the help of my kids, as well as our two dogs. We ❤️ dog psychology and behavior. We provide supervision, exercise and play. Your dog will be interacting with our “pack” of friendly dogs and family. Manners and house training will be enforced in a positive atmosphere. We have a fenced in 1/4 acre yard and a 500 sqft indoor play area. We have indoor fencing and gates to separate dogs if needed. We offer meet & greets, as well as curb side drop off and pickup. You don’t even have to get out of your car if you prefer! We are conveniently located, approximately 10 minutes from I-65 and the Scottsville rd exit (Exit 22), with lots of space to be a dog!

“Thank you so much, Kayla! You were there to help us get our precious dog from the vet to the hospital while dealing with my chemo brain. You were there to listen and concerned for our dog. Wish you only the best in life. God bless you.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 13, and it’s something I truly love. My family has trusted me over the years to bathe, feed, and sit their pets, and I currently have a friendly cat of my own. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family—with patience, attention, and lots of care. Whether it’s playtime or quiet time, I adapt to each pet’s needs and personality to make sure they feel safe and loved. I am currently a college student at Western while working one day a week at a gift shop. My schedule is open most days to care for pups and kitties! I live in a house with a fenced yard to play in, including a sweet cat if clients prefer to board in my house. I can also care for pets in the comfort of their home if provided! I am flexible with what situation I’m dealt with. I’m able to send updates, pictures, or calls if they also want to check up on their baby!

About: I've had dogs my entire life and truly love being around them. I've personally owned a wide range of breeds—from large dogs like German Shepherds, Labs, and Irish Setters to smaller companions like Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Dachshunds, and Basset Hounds. Each one has had their own personality, and I’ve loved caring for them all! I also grew up on a farm, so I'm no stranger to animals with unique needs or personalities. Whether it's administering medications, following special diets, or just giving extra patience and attention, I’m comfortable and confident caring for pets who need a little extra love. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to play with and attend to your pups throughout the day! Whether it’s frequent potty breaks, cuddle time, play sessions, or just having someone around to keep them company, your dog will get the attention and care they deserve. You can relax knowing they’ll never be left alone for long! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have two of my own friendly dogs who can be great companions for your pup, or I’m equally happy to keep everyone separated if that’s what’s best for your dog’s needs and personality. My dogs spend most of their time outdoors by choice, so there’s plenty of space for everyone. I have a large, covered back patio with fans for shade and comfort, and a pool area for cooling off on hot days (with supervision, of course). The backyard is a fully fenced, secure 3-acre open space—perfect for running, sniffing, and playtime. To ensure safety and reduce stress, I always do feeding times separately for each dog. Whether your dog stays with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I maintain a calm, structured environment with lots of attention and care.

About: I will love the dog as my own. I also love going on walks so walking dogs is something I enjoy. I have always loved dogs and hope to have many of my own again when I grow up and have my own house! I have a lot of availabilty after the morning because of school! I have also volunteered at the animal shelter for several years and I only worked with the dogs! Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I always had a dog growing up. There were very few times I did not have a dog. I love every size dog and love to play with them and care to their needs! Thank you for taking the time read this! I work from home so i am able to care and love for your furbaby all day and everyday that they are here. I give my clients my full attention and make sure they are comfortable it can be hard to adjust to a new place. I have a huge fenced in yard that is great for pups to run around! It is clean and well kept. I have a 3 bed 2 bath house and they are allowed to roam freely and go where they please!

About: I've have been a dog owner almost all of my life. I have taken care of our own family dogs as well as taking care of pets for other family members. Would love to help in taking care of your fur babies while you are away. While I still do work full time, all of my children are grown so can devote the time necessary to taking care of your pets. We do have two dogs and a cat in our house so know how important it is to maintain their routine as much as possible. If overnight care is needed I would stay in your home to keep them in their own environment and also keep them in their own routine.
