House Sitting in Andale

About: Hi! I am Laine. I am an aspiring Personal Trainer with a lifelong love for animals and a high-energy approach to pet care. Growing up in a home that was always welcoming new pets, I became comfortable around all types of personalities and species early on. While I am still building my professional toolkit in the world of formal training, I bring a massive amount of dedication, physical stamina, and a commitment to following your pets specific routines. Whether your dog needs a high-intensity walk to burn off energy or just an attentive companion while you’re away, I’m excited to provide a reliable and active environment for them. I’m currently in school so my schedule is extremely flexible with online classes and I work one day a week! I am early to rise and early to bed! I am extremely vigilant and highly trustworthy. My goal is to treat your home and pet like my own. I'm happy to provide regular photo updates so you can have total peace of mind.

About: I have had experience with every age of both dogs and cats from newborn to senior. I've bottle fed puppies and kittens, potty trained them, adopted them out, kept some, raised them through their adult life, and cared for them as seniors. I've also taken in many strays and fosters and nursed them back to health, whether it was some scratches or they just weren't doing good, and found good homes for them. I know how to bottle feed, ween, potty train, groom, give medication, clean/sanitize injuries, and much more. I also volunteer in humane societies so that has given me advice and techniques for helping earn animals trust, especially when they are being boarded in an unknown house. I work from home so I am almost always there, unless I have to run to the store or do some quick errands. If I happen to visit friends or family, go to a sit down restraunt, or do anything else that might take longer, it will never be for more than 2-3 hours. I do not kennel unless necessary or if requested (during feedings, if I have to run somewhere, in emergencies, ect.), so they will have free reign otherwise. If they have a feeding schedule, great, if not, I'll make sure the bowls always full. Fresh water is always available in multiple locations. I don't have a fence so dogs will always be leashed going outside and will be taken whenever they want to or every couple hours. Cats litter boxes are spot cleaned once a day, and switched once a week or when needed if they will be staying for longer. My golden rule is treat others how you want to be treated, and that extends to animals aswell. I don't yell, ignore, or force anything to do something that isn't necessary. Obviously no one wants to take medication, but if they have to, I'll be as quick and careful giving it as I can.

“We've used Kyelene as our sitter numerous times now. She's always punctual and a great communicator. Our pup absolutely loves her! We really appreciate her attention to detail and that we never need to worry when our pup is in her care.”

“Misty took such phenomenal care of our pets! She sent regular updates and pics that showed the pets both happy and being themselves, and she spent lots of time with them every day. When we arrived home, both our pets were calm, well fed, and happy. I could tell that she had done a great job not just meeting all their needs but also giving them affection and helping them feel safe while we were traveling. So thankful that we were able to leave our pets in such good hands!”

About: Experienced in walking pets and administering oral meds and insulin shots. Many clients with happy reviews. Care for and love your pets lime mine own. I am fully retired which gives all my attention to your pets and your home. Please reach out to me for a meet and greet. I would care for your pets in your home where they feel safe. Their schedule is what matters. Will leave your home clean for you.

“Stacy was absolutely incredible with our with our pup! We seriously cannot say enough good things about her! We greatly appreciated her taking the time to do a meet and greet with him so he would be comfortable with her before she stayed. We knew right away that she has a true passion and great knowledge of caring for dogs. He instantly took to her calming nature. Our boxer gets a little separation anxiety from us being away and her compassion for making sure he felt loved and comfortable put him right at ease. She truly went above and beyond. As a worried dog mom, her constant updates made me feel so much better knowing he was doing well. I loved getting her frequent photos and videos of him through the day. She stayed at our home over the 4th of July weekend and we had some periods where fireworks were giving him anxiety as well. She was so patient with him and stayed in his room with him so he felt comforted. When we arrived home our house was left just the way we left and our boy was happy as can be! We won’t go to anyone else for watching our boy! If you have the opportunity to book with Stacy you will be so lucky! We are so grateful we found her.”

About: I’m exceptional in training puppies, cats and dogs. If necessary I can discipline although I prefer positive encouragement towards good behaviour with rewards. I love teaching commands using an animals favourite treat or a clicker, whichever is more effective. When it comes to older animals it’s critical for me to be aware of and understand their history. Dietary restrictions, sleeping/eating habits, medication and application processes, etc. I love all animals but ultimately will treat them as family with the love and support they each deserve. I’m currently working as a part time Youth Director at a local church so I have plenty of time throughout my days to play with and care for your furrr babies. My main goal currently is to fill in the gaps of my day to day with joy and happiness that only pets can bring. We all need something to look forward too to make life enjoyable and for me right now that’s figuring out how to play with as many animals as possible to make sure they’re all loved while you’re away. Our home has as expansive enclosed back yard for dogs to run around in and play or simply take a potty break. Our living room and kitchen area are great open places for cats to explore and the basement is very clean and comfortable as well. Although, I prefer to go to a cats home instead because as you know being a cat owner most cats dislike change of environments or any change in general for that matter. When it comes to walks I like to take as many precautions as viable. Dog parks are available and accessible more so during the day. There are plenty of nearby parks in my neighbourhood as well as bike paths and sidewalks. I’m open to any suggestions for locations or preferred methods of transportation as some animals dislike car rides so a simple walk around the block would suffice. I take any and all advice seriously when it comes to the attention and care of your animal.

“10/10 recommend!”

“Andrew did an amazing job! He was faced by an unsure dog at the beginning and figured it out. He did not let us down and would recommend him for anyone looking for someone who will safely take care of their pets and treat them like they are his own!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and I currently have a blue healer and two 5 month old clingy little kittens of my own so I know how to make sure they get the best treatment and top quality attention too! I am currently self employed so i have a ton of free time and love to fill it by being adventurous and trying new things so having an extra little buddy around would fit right into my schedule i have a fenced in yard with a privacy fence and a very friendly blue healer who loves to make new friends, with two kittens who like to keep their distance when it comes to other pets but they also don’t mind dogs or cats

About: Hi, I’m Michaela, a devoted dog mom to my 5-year-old Cavapoo, Pico, and an experienced pet care professional with 4+ years of dog grooming expertise. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities, whether it’s dog walking, boarding, or in-home care. I treat every furry friend as if they’re my own, ensuring personalized attention and love. Pico and I enjoy outdoor adventures, and I’d love to include your pup for a tail-wagging good time! Trust me to provide care that feels like home. Let’s make your pet’s day extra special! 🐾❤️ During the school year, I work full-time and have limited time at home during the day. Dogs must be able to go 8 hours without potty breaks. However, they do receive ample time in the evenings to play and exercise. Weekends are spent adventuring with pups! During the summer (May-August), I am home most days and have lots of time to care for all pets! Frequent potty breaks or walks are doable. I have a 5 year old Cavapoo named Pico who will keep all dogs company. He enjoys taking friends along with him on walks, runs, and trail adventures. He is treated as a child in our home, and your pet(s) will be as well! Dogs are allowed on all furniture and beds. Crating is available if necessary.

“My dogs seem to really love Courtney. They are relaxed and happy when I get home. Highly recommended!”

“I met Joseph yesterday for the 1st time. My dog just clicked with him immediately. Yes he loves everyone but Joseph was very playful with him. He sent me updates which I was happy about. He was also on time. I'm thankful for that. I'll off course rebook when needed. 🙏”
