House Sitting in Alpena

“Awesome is not great enough of a word for the care and attention he gave my two dogs, Tessa and Bear. Shawn was respectful, attentive and took great care of my pets and my home. Highly recommend him for others as well.”

About: We live on our farm, Ciavarelli Acres, outside of Omaha, Arkansas in the Ozarks with our Scottish Highland cattle, chickens, goats, pigs, alpacas, peacocks, ducks, 3 dogs and a cat. We have a large fenced in yard for the dogs to play in. We have boarded puppies and dogs as small as teacup poodles. My pet grooming rate is for trimming your dogs nails. I have trimmed most of our boarders nails if they need it. We would be happy to give your pet a vacation with us! I'm retired and living on a farm there is always something to do so im outside outsude a lot doing stuff and the dogs are always by my side or playing in the huge yard! We have a large dog kennel in the house for visiting dogs to sleep in at night if needed or they sleep with our dogs in the living room.

About: Reliable and have always had an animal magnetism. I love to get to know the animals and whatever their specific needs are to help make them feel most comfortable. I’m part time at the moment, so, I’ll have ample time to spend with your pup! I can always work out a time to make it work for you. I have a lot of experience with dogs and can assure you that all of your pets needs will be more than taken care of. Please feel free to ask any questions.

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience and genuine love for animals. I am a retired Quarter Horse and dog rancher with over 54 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. Throughout my life, animals have never just been a job—they’ve been my passion, my pride, and my joy. I service BRANSON MO, TABLE ROCK AREA, NIXA & SPRINGFIELD In addition to running a ranch, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant, which gives me a deeper understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’m comfortable recognizing signs of stress or illness and responding appropriately. I treat every animal in my care like family. Whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay, your pets will be cared for with the same attention, patience, and love I’ve given my own animals for decades. Their comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. With my background, you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in experienced, capable, and truly caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work during the day, but I dedicate my evenings and weekends to pet sitting, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and care during those times. My schedule works especially well for pet owners who need reliable evening check-ins, overnight care, or weekend coverage. I make sure each visit is unhurried so your pets receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, so even with my daytime responsibilities, I prioritize making time to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I care for pets in their home by keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and safe. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and daily habits. With my background as a rancher and former veterinary assistant, I pay close attention to behavior and safety. I also treat every home with respect—keeping it clean, secure, and just as I found it. I provide updates so owners feel at ease, and I treat every pet like my own—with patience, care, and love.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10. Friends, family members, and neighbors would rely on me to take care of their fur babies. I’d always make time to play with them and make sure they are comfortable in the environment. I am currently unemployed but looking for a part-time job, which lets me have a lot of time to watch/care for my dogs and make sure they are happy. I’m available any day at the moment and anytime after 3:30. I take my dogs everywhere I go and when they have to go to the bathroom I’ll put them on a leash and go on a walk with them. I also have 3 friendly dogs to keep your dog company and if needed I can easily crate your Dog if needed.

About: I have taken care of senior dogs who are no longer themselves, dementia, potty issues, etc. I have taken care of kittens and puppies less than a week old as well ! I have an open schedule so most times of the day work for me. I would prefer nights or overnight sitting. It is very rewarding. I can easily defuse situations that aren’t going as planned. If crate training is something you do that’s no problem! I grew up around crate training and keeping your pet safe is my top priority!

“Jerica stayed over and watched our cat while we were away. When we got home, the apartment was tidy and the cat was happy! Would definitely recommend her as a housesitter/petsitter!”
