House Sitting 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: 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.

“I was extremely nervous about leaving my pets with someone I didn't know, but Sophia took such great care of them. She sent lots of updates and pictures which really made me feel better knowing my pets were safe and happy. She even took my dog for a walk. I would 100% book her again and be comfortable knowing my babies are in good hands”

“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!!”

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: 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.

“It’s wonderful knowing we can leave for an extended vacation and our pups are being well cared for. They are used to company during the day and we love knowing they are not lonely when we’re gone.”

“Madison did a great job looking after my cat, Harvey. Before the booking she made sure to ask informed questions about Harvey’s needs to better care for him and during the booking she kept in touch with regular pictures. Harvey seemed to really enjoy her company and I would 100% recommend Madison to anyone looking for house sitting for their pet. She was respectful of my home and most importantly treated Harvey as one of her own.”

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.
