House Sitting in Armona

“Macie is absolutely wonderful! We had Macie watch our dogs for two visits over the weekend, and both experiences were outstanding. She was punctual, communicated beautifully throughout both days, and sent thoughtful picture updates that gave us complete peace of mind while we were out. What really impressed us was how Macie went above and beyond basic pet sitting. She took the time to understand each dog's individual needs and personality, and she even worked on crate training with our puppy during her visits. By the time we got home, our puppy was already responding better to the crate command—Macie didn't just supervise, she actively helped with training! Macie was fantastic with both of our dogs and clearly has a gift for reading and responding to what each animal needs. She was incredibly respectful of our home, and when we returned, she took the time to share detailed updates about how each dog did, remembering specific details about their day that showed how attentive and caring she had been. We felt completely confident leaving our dogs in Macie's care, and we wouldn't hesitate to book her again. If you're looking for a sitter who is reliable, communicative, genuinely caring, and goes the extra mile, Macie is the one. Highly recommend! We are already planning to rebook her!”

About: Animal care is my absolute passion and it's a goal of mine to earn licensure as a vet technician! I grew up on a ranch around animals big and small and for the last 4 years have been professionally pet-sitting; mostly cats and dogs but also rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and birds. I'm comfortable with any medication administration, special food preparation, or exercise/training requirements that your pet needs and can accommodate any requests. As a fully online student, I have complete flexibility in my day to care for your pet. I'm available daily, including weekends, and accept bookings same-day. I also accept drop in/house sitting requests for most small animals including rodents and reptiles. I have no animals of my own so your pets will have my complete attention and the house to themselves. My apartment complex has plenty of green grass and wildlife for enrichment walks and play, and my home has sunny windows for sunbathing. Safety, trust, and comfortability are my ultimate priorities and I would care for your pets/home the same way I would want someone to care for mine.

“Upon meeting Maria, my mind was immediately at ease. Her demeanor made me realize that my dogs would be in great hands. She offered multiple options and solutions to my multi day dog care needs. She sent pictures while we were gone and my dogs looked happy and I could tell they were well cared for. Thank you Maria!!”

“Sophia was wonderful staying with our dogs (Lab and Cockapoo). The dogs enjoyed the time with her. It was wonderful to have updates throughout the day with pictures about how they were doing. I would definitely recommend her and plan on using her again!”

About: Raised on a farm, I've been loving and caring for animals all my life. Over 10 years caring for large dogs and oodles of cats in my family home. If it has fins, beans, or wings, then I've probably enjoyed caring for it. I especially enjoy cats and large dogs, and have 5+ years of experience pet sitting and drop-in care. I am available mornings until late afternoon during the work week to let your pet children out to play, eat, or relax. If they have separation anxiety or other special needs, then I am entirely happy to accommodate their needs until the parents come home. I can be available most holidays if advanced notice is provided. Weekends are negotiable in an emergency or tight situation. I am happy to provide pee breaks, administer medication, clean up minor messes, feed/water, and provide company and enrichment to the pets in my care. Depending on how long my visit is, your fur children with be snuggled, brushed, pet, cooed to, and will have a playmate.

“Aviana was absolutely amazing with our complicated pet situation and the many different pet personalities that we have! It was so nice to be able to leave our cats and dogs at our house with someone whom we trust and that clearly loves animals.”

About: Hello! I have taken care of pets, either for family or friends or even neighbors for about 11-12 years! I’m very passionate about dogs specifically and can’t wait to meet yours! I’m currently going to COS, so i’ll have plenty of times to play with your dogs. I’m completely free on the weekends, and free tuesday and thursday after 1, and free after 3 on monday, wednesday and fridays! I have a fenced in backyard and plenty of toys. I have a patient and exciting attitude and can’t wait to play with your pups!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 16 but I've been around animals since I can remember. I've been around all types of dogs, cats and even bearded dragon lizards! Im great at giving puppies the exercise they need to remain stimulated and entertained. Your animals are in good hands.💕 My job schedule shifts and changes a lot but i am typically 7:00am-3:30pm. This changes pretty often. For drop-in visits I typically check on my clients pets as soon as I'm up, before i head to work, and after work depending on what I discuss with my client. I'm completely off on Fridays and Saturdays. I'm typically very free on Saturdays. On days that I'm off I drop in when I wake up, noon, and in the evening. I can pretty much walk at any time as long as I'm not at work. For house sitting, it all depends on what I discuss with my client cause I'm pretty close to anyone I house sit for, so unless it's requested, I typically sleep in my own bed. I will always walk dogs on leashes with no exception. If for some reason your dog isnt used to walking on a leash I can train them to no problem. Unless the dog is older I prefer crating them or keeping them in a contained space at night or when I'm away.

About: **Pet Care Experience** As a passionate and dedicated pet sitter, my experience is enriched by my love for animals and my commitment to their well-being. What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse skill set and my attention to the individual needs of each pet. I have experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments, allowing me to tailor my care to suit each animal’s personality. My background includes: - **Training Puppies:** I have successfully trained several puppies in basic obedience commands and socialization techniques, ensuring they develop good behavior and build confidence. I utilize positive reinforcement methods to encourage desired behaviors. - **Senior Pet Care:** I understand the unique requirements of senior pets, such as dietary restrictions, medication management, and gentle exercise routines. I take the time to ensure they are comfortable and provide engaging activities to keep them mentally stimulated. - **First Aid Certification:** I'm certified in pet first aid and CPR, which gives me the ability to handle emergencies effectively and provide immediate care when needed. - **Personalized Care Plans:** I create individualized care plans for each pet, considering their health needs, daily routines, and preferences. This helps foster a sense of security and comfort while their owners are away. With my experience and special skills in pet training and senior care, I strive to provide a nurturing environment that promotes happiness and health for every pet I sit. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, seamlessly blending with my lifestyle and responsibilities. Here’s how I incorporate it: 1. **Morning Routine:** My day starts with a commitment to my own pets or the pets in my care. I ensure they are fed, given fresh water, and taken for a morning walk. This not only helps with their physical health but also establishes a positive start to I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate various pet care needs. Whether it’s visiting pets during the day for walks and playtime or providing overnight stays, I adjust my activities to ensure each pet receives the attention Throughout the day, I check in with the pets I’m caring for, observing behavior and ensuring they are happy and comfortable. This includes play sessions, training exercises, or simply spending quality time together. I prioritize communication with pet owners. I send regular updates and photos, giving them peace of mind while they are away. This helps build trust and keeps everyone informed about how their pets are doing. In the evenings, I often dedicate time to enrichment activities such as training sessions, games, or leisurely walks. This not only helps with physical exercise but also strengthens the bond between pets and myself. On weekends, I like to plan longer outings or visits to local parks, giving pets the chance to explore new environments and socialize with other animals. These outings help keep them engaged and happy. By incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine, I ensure that the pets I look after receive consistent and loving attention, contributing to their overall well-being and happiness. Caring for pets, whether in my home or in my client's home, requires a tailored approach that prioritizes the comfort, safety, and well-being of the animals. Here’s how I manage pet care. My home is equipped with a pet-friendly environment, ensuring that there are no hazards such as toxic plants, small objects, or chemicals within reach. I have designated areas for pets to relax and play. 2. **Daily Routine:** Pets staying with me benefit from a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, and playtime. I adhere to the feeding schedule provided by the pet owner to foster a loving atmosphere through regular interaction, bonding activities, and enrichment exercises. Whether it's playing fetch, engaging in training sessions, or cuddling, I ensure that pets feel happy and secure. 4. **Health Monitoring:** I keep a close eye on the pets for any signs of discomfort or health issues. Regular check-ins and playtime help me I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine in their familiar surroundings. I follow the client’s specified feeding, walking, and play schedules to provide consistency and comfort. 2. **Safety Protocols:** I ensure that the home is secure, checking that doors and windows are locked and that pets are provided with a safe area to relax. If applicable, I also supervise interactions with other pets or children.

About: I’ve spent several years caring for cats and dogs, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddle sessions, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I have personally owned small dogs like westies and king charles cavaliers, to larger dogs like pitbulls and boxers. I have also owned many cats and can handle all levels of temperaments. With a fully open schedule, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care and accommodate a wide range of pet sitting needs, including last-minute bookings, extended stays, and daytime visits. I provide attentive, loving care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow their established routines closely, including feeding, walks, litter box care, playtime, and companionship. I treat your home with respect and your pets like my own, ensuring they feel secure and cared for while you’re away.

“Highly recommend booking Kyra! She took great care of our dog Dax in our home while we were on vacation. She was able to stay with him all day at our house. Incredible communication throughout the process! She sent us updates with photos every morning and evening, and kept him on his usual schedule with multiple walks per day. She even went above and beyond by sweeping up dog hair around our house and picking up sticks Dax had strewn around our patio. Definitely favoriting Kyra the next time we need someone to watch Dax!”

About: I've taken care of my own dogs for nearly a decade. As a teenager I spent a short amount of time as a dog/house sitter for a neighbor. I currently work part-time in childcare so I have plenty of time and energy to spend with your pets and provide a fun, safe, and loving environment. I have two friendly small dogs who I take for frequent walks as we don't have a fenced in yard. Since I will be taking care of dogs outside of my home, this isn't an issue. However, it has given me plenty of dog-walking experience. I'm committed to the safety and well-being of the animals in my care.
