House Sitting in Alton

“I am so happy Joyann was willing to keep our 2 dogs! She was friendly, communicative, and professional. Even though we met briefly, it felt as though I left my dogs with a close friend; my dogs felt comfortable and our entire home was cared for! I also really appreciated the pictures and updates Joyann provided. I recommend her services to anyone and will happily rebook with her in the future! Thank you, Joyann!”

“She took good care of my kitties while I was gone. They were perfectly fine when I got home had food and water and she sent me a text message and picture of her feeding one of my cats while I was gone. She was great. I loved how she checked in with me often”

“Madison was so great!! I’m kind of a crazy pet parent and was very nervous but Madison eased all of my concerns so quickly and was the best, even my very shy cat came out of hiding so quickly with her. I will not at all hesitate about asking Madison to housesit in the future!”

About: I have a passion for all animals. I am an educator by profession for over 22 years and have cared and owned pets all my life ( dogs ,cats, pigs, cows and horses). I am a semi professional marathon runner and believe not only people but animals benefit from a daily exercise regimen! I am dependable, trustworthy, and loyal. I strongly believe in the welfare of all animals. I will walk or run your dog but due to extreme South Texas summer weather, I will only do it very early morning or evening when its cooler. I will do drop in visits daily as needed. I will send you pictures and videos our your furbabies while you are away. My dedication and compassion for animals set me apart from the rest!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm caring for many different types of animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand each animal’s unique personality and needs. Over the years, I’ve also trained several of my own dogs, giving me experience with basic obedience, routines, and handling pets with different energy levels and temperaments. In addition, I’ve pet sat for friends and family many times, caring for pets as if they were my own by providing plenty of love, attention, exercise, and dependable care. I’m passionate about creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for every pet I meet. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule during the weekdays and full availability on weekends. I currently work full time during the week, but I’m able to leave on breaks and also accommodate early morning visits, walks, feedings, and check-ins. My weekends are completely open, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets in my care. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so making sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for easily fits into my lifestyle. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also pay close attention to their behavior and needs to ensure they are happy and stress-free while their owners are away. I have experience handling animals with different personalities and energy levels, so I’m patient and adaptable with each pet. Whether it’s walks, potty breaks, play sessions, administering basic routines, or simply providing companionship, I care for every pet as if they were my own. I also respect my client’s home by keeping everything clean, organized, and following all instructions carefully.

“Nathalie did a wonderful job taking care of my Forrest. She stayed with him 2 days and communicated regularly with me through messages and pictures. it was my first time using a sitter and it was short notice but she made it all stress free. Thank you Nathalie!”

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was little. I have raised and fostered puppies and kittens, and know how to administer basic aid. My home is pet friendly and safe for all fur-babies. I have full availability to do drop-in visits or boarding during the weekdays or weekends. I am very flexible with times and setting up a meet and greet if needed. I am looking forward to meeting your fur babies! I have a fenced yard, a friendly chihuahua, and 3 cats who love to play with other animals. We have lots of toys, a cat tree, treats, and free feeding- unless you require specific meal times and special diets.

“Natalia was absolutely amazing with my 12-year-old pup, Phoenix 🐾—who is definitely a picky, demanding little diva 😄. She handled her meds, nighttime wake-ups, and constant need for affection like a total pro. I got great updates and could tell Phoenix was genuinely comfortable and cared for during her overnight stay. It’s not easy trusting someone with a high-maintenance senior dog, but Natalia made it feel effortless. Will 100% be booking with her again—highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I've taken care of both small dogs and large dogs. I am able to take them out very frequently for potty breaks. I am also comfortable giving them medication if they require any. I have open-availability! I'm currently working on an online master's program so I am at home all the time. I can give your pet as much time as they need. We have a large frontyard and backyard. I have a small dog and I have several cats outside of the house. I can crate small-medium dogs if needed.

“Gabby was the best. We moved with our doggies to a different state/town and had to travel again without them immediately after arriving to our new home. The dogs were happy and safe and adjusted well to their new environment with her help. My apartment was clean and well cared for and she even made sure to unplug any cables as a safety precaution when she left. Totally recommend Gabby 💯 and I'm looking forward to having her care for my pup again!”

About: I've taken care of different personality cats, dogs including my birds. I have pet-sat for friends and family. I look forward to working with you but most of all with your furbaby & maybe teaching a new trick! I am currently working mostly during the day but I have some flexibility where you need me. I have evenings & weekends available for your convenience. My yard is fenced and my furbabies will gladly welcome yours. I have crates handy if you prefer. there is a cute dog park nearby we burn off any extra zoomies!

“Best babysitters by far!🤎This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone, mind you, he’s a 140 pound big boy but Brando and his mom took the absolute best care of him! I was so nervous at first but throughout the whole time, they were constantly updating me with pictures of my big baby & constantly keeping me posted with any updates as they were also administering meds. Atlas is a high energized dog that requires a lot of attention & that is what he got on this mini vacation! There is no one else I will be going with moving forward to take care of Atlas! I will 110% return! Thank you for taking care of my big baby🐶”

About: I’ve had pets since I was a toddler, and I currently own two senior dogs and a cat. I’ve volunteered at pet shelters while in college, and am ready to share the love! I’m currently a part time student, and have plenty of free time. I’m available after 3PM on the weekdays, and completely free on the weekends. I have two dogs and usually let them free roam around the house during the day and crate them at night. However, each pet owner has their own routine that I am more than willing to follow.

About: Hi there! I’m Will — a college student, part-time employee, and full-time animal lover. I have availability in the mornings and afternoon/evenings, and I’d love to spend that time with your furry best friend! I’m a proud wiener dog parent, but I’ve also cared for bulldogs, shih tzus, and medium-sized pups. Beyond dogs, I’ve had rabbits, chickens, and cats, so animals have always been a big part of my life. Caring for pets with love, attention, and affection is my top priority. Fun fact: I also help bring pets over from Colombia and Mexico to the U.S., in case you’re ever curious about that process! I’m available in the mornings and evenings during the week. On weekends, I’m available 24/7 — so if you ever need me to stay overnight or do multiple walks a day, I’ve got you covered! I love taking dogs to parks! If your pup has a favorite spot, just let me know — I’ll be happy to take them there. I always make sure to follow your instructions carefully to give your pet the best care possible. Plus, I’ll keep you updated with fun pictures and videos so you can see how your furry friend is doing!

About: My experience as a CNA and EMT sets me apart, as I provide safety-focused, dependable, and compassionate care. I am skilled in caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals requiring extra attention, ensuring peace of mind for every owner. I am currently unemployed and am available full-time. I can make a personal, detailed schedule for you. You need to feel safe with your pet caregiver. I would require a list of requirements that you would like me to follow. My gentle care for your animal will ensure they have a home away from home.

“Emily was a perfect sitter. Molly & Tina were happy with Emily. A very polite and respectful young lady. We definitely recommend Emily. We will have her come again in the future.”

About: I have lived with pets all of my life. I have really enjoyed interacting with pets, specially dogs as I consider them family and I hope you do too! I have experience with smaller tasks like bottle feeding, potty breaks and walks, going to the dog park or hikes, even supporting with medical needs or overnight stays. Anything your fur friend needs! Currently working from home offering lots of flexibility. Availability ranges from short check-ins or walks as well as overnight or longer stays on weekdays or weekends. Flexible to whatever that individual pet and pet owner needs and requests, from playful puppies or kitties to independent, nap-loving seniors. Communication and upfront expectations are very important so everyone can feel comfortable, safe and happy.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and I will work hard to make sure your animals are well cared for, I can even handle the basics of large and unique pets. I’m a stay at home parent so I end up with a bit of time on my hands in the morning, for the most part my time is flexible. I don’t keep animals in my home because my own dog can be reactive, but I will happily look after your pet in the comfort of its own home.
