Pet Sitting in Alto

About: Hi there! 👋 I’m a full-time middle school counselor by day and a devoted animal lover all the time. When I’m not in the classroom, you can usually find me hanging out with my own dog Meadow, a trained emotional support pup, going on walks, or enjoying life by the lake. I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Being a teacher means I’m patient, reliable, and great at following routines—whether that’s lesson plans or your pet’s feeding, walking, and play schedules. I know every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m hoping to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy: spending time with animals! I treat every pet like they’re my own and love sending photo updates so you can see all the fun we’re having while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’d love to be their new favorite human. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! 🐶🐱🐾 M-F: 3 PM - 10 PM for walks & drop-ins. All day Saturday & Sunday for boarding & house sitting. I can be flexible for longer house sitting arrangements with 48 hours notice. Just message me and we can work out what is best for you and your pet’s needs. As a teacher, trust, patience, and responsibility are at the core of my everyday work, and I bring that same care into looking after your pets. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog or cat with someone dependable, attentive, and calm. I prioritize safety by closely following routines, monitoring behavior, and creating a low-stress, nurturing environment—whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. Pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, affection, and enrichment suited to their needs. You can expect clear communication and regular photo updates, so you’ll always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for—just like I would want for my own. 🩹 Medication administration if needed. 📸 Photo/video updates so you can see what your best friend is up to while you are away!! 👶 Senior pet care support for older animals or puppy care for a new member of your family. 🐾 Additional walks or drop-ins 🎾 Extra playtime or enrichment activities

“We are very pleased with the prompt and kind service Maelee provided, it really was great to be able to enjoy our trip without worry. Thank you!”

About: Hi! I’m Kayla! I have been doing dog sitting/drop ins for about 3 years now. I have 2 dogs, 4 cats & chickens. I’m a stay at home mom, so my availability is very open. I am here to help with vacations, quick stops, a good afternoon walk, a potty break or some food &/or medication. I look forward to meeting you & your furbaby & giving you the best care possible 🤗 Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly bc I am able to stop and take care of your furbaby in between times I have mom duty. It lets my days be flexible for last minute changes. We have an acre of land. We are in the process of building a fence, so right now we use leads to let the dogs explore and have some fun.

“Alexis did a great job watching our cat for us. She followed our directions, played with our cat, sent lots of photos and videos and sent us updates about our house as well. We are super happy with her service.”

About: I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you! I am fortunate in that I have a fairly flexible routine currently. This allows for pet care jobs and responsibilities to be easier to take on. I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!

“Ashleigh did a great job. Our cat Knuckles, was well cared for and received extra attention that eased her anxiety while we were away. We will definitely request Ashleigh for our next trip.”

About: I often joke that I like animals more than people and with that being said, I can promise that I will love on your furbaby as if they were my own. My Chihuahua-Jack Russell recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and my house has been too quiet. This opportunity with Rover will bring some joy back to my life, hopefully with a side of snuggles. I’ve been watching cats & dogs since I was a pre-teen. I grew up in a house with 2 cats, as well. I work Monday-Friday, but I have plenty of time on the weekends to walk and play with your dog. I am open to house-sitting at your residence if that is better for the animals. I'm available 24/7 for boarding at my house, as long as your pup is crate-trained and okay being home alone for 6-8 hours as I do work full time Monday-Friday. Same hours go for housesitting at the pet's home. I have lots of space to roam in the house. Couch and bed are free spaces. If your pet prefers to be crated at night, I am happy to do so. At your house, I am happy to follow all rules set in place.

“Ty is so great with all of our different fur babies. I was so grateful for his help while we were away! From very timely check-ins, to great picture updates, and going above and beyond each day, Tyler was an important part to the success of our family vacation! Our dog, 3 cats, 2 pet rats, and a tank full of goldfish were in kind and thoughtful hands every day! Highly recommend!”

“I couldn't be happier with the condition I found my pets in after asking Tim to visit them in my house. Tim took good care of my pets, sitting with them and showing them affection after changing their litter and sweeping/taking out the trash each time. Tim is reliable and diligent, I can't recommend him enough.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and have a soft spot for them. I have a four year old very high energy, playful but docile GSP. I will walk, watch, feed and create a stimulating environment for them! I work from home and have flexibility during the week to help out. I am also open most weekends for dog sitting or boarding . I will make sure pets are handled with love and care and will treat them as if they were my own. This might mean lots of belly rubs, snuggles and treats. My home has a fenced backyard and many dog beds and toys. I am happy to stay with your dog at his or her home if that is most comfortable for them and if my schedule allows.

“Amelia did an excellent job watching our two cats. She kept us in the loop with her updates and made us feel very secure about our pets’ well-being. She is the best!”

About: I have been an animal lover for 25 years, with very little time passing where a furry companion hasn't been a part of my life. I grew up with dogs and am currently the dedicated service human to two felines, Draco and Hephaestus. Wide-Ranging Experience: My experience is wide! I love all sizes and breeds of dogs and have also cared for rabbits, fish, hermit crabs, lizards, ferrets, and even horses. Flexible & Dedicated: As I build my business as an Ayurvedic Health Coach, the flexibility of working from home allows me extra time to love on your pets and accommodate their needs. Fun & Social Activities: I love taking dogs along on hikes, playing outside in the yard, or going to dog parks for safe socialization. I would be delighted to care for and play with your animals! I am currently developing my own business as an Ayurvedic Health Coach and work from home so I am very flexible in my schedule to accommodate pet needs. Pets are family. I treat them with love and respect and strive to maintain their routine as much as possible while you are away. This includes strictly following feeding schedules, medication times, and designated potty/walk breaks to ensure stability and comfort.

“Erica is wonderful! She took such great care of our two dogs. We have a dog that is very anxious and she was very patient and kind towards her. Would 100% recommend.”

About: I personally have had 2 dogs and 3 cats. My one pup, which recently passed, was a small Shi-Tzu/Chihuahua female, who was spunky and loved to play and cuddle. My current dog who is living back in Michigan is a 5 year old Husky male mix. He is a rescue pup, flown in from Lebanon (the country!) after a vet found him severely wounded in the streets. He loves to run, and is the biggest attention hog now! I also have had 3 cats, 1 currently- a fluffy orange tabby who is an absolute dork but lovable nonetheless. He does not currently live in the apartment with me, so I miss him dearly. It is quite rare for me to meet an animal I don't feel comfortable around! I am currently working part-time and control my hours, so I am extremely flexible with whatever needs your fur babies may need! I do not have any current vacations planned either. I'm always cautious of safety for any animal. I like to get as many details from the owners on what their animal likes/dislikes so that I can create a comfortable environment for them.
