House Sitting Ave Maria

About: I have been taking care of pets for the past two years. I love all breeds of dogs from small to big. I have done housesitting, visits, and dog walks. I cannot wait to meet more dogs! Pet care works with me almost every day that I am in town. I can work most hours and find time for your dog. I have lots of extra time I would love to spend walking a dog outside. I can care for any pet in any way the owner wishes. This is an addition to playing and giving the animal my full attention.

“Cara is awesome! She did an overnight with my dog, effectively communicated and sent pictures throughout the stay. I felt my dog was in very good hands. Highly recommend her!”

About: I'm a teacher during the day, so my hours are flexible, especially during the summer. I'm a dog and a cat lover and would love to have some extra dog company. My two cats are used to dogs and don't mind them at all. I will go the extra mile to care for your fur babies as I would take care of mine. My first two dogs I had when I was younger, were Schipperkes named Skylar and Sampson. They were very hyper and lots of fun to walk around. I think I ended up making a ton of friends when I would take them with me because they were so interesting. That's what I like about dogs, they bring people together; love to all!

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind and size since I was 8 years old. I have cared for puppies and senior dogs. I’m currently transitioning out of the military and will be attending school this fall so my schedule is very flexible and I am able to care as much as I am needed. I have walked and cared for pets in many different homes. I always make an effort to provide the safest environment for the dogs and make the owners feel comfortable with me caring for their pet.

About: I have had a dog since I was 4 years old. She is 16 now, and she’s queen bee around our house! She’s had two ACL surgeries in the past, and now her back legs are unfortunately atrophied. Throughout these years, I have gained experience administering medicine, spoon feeding, and helping her walk. My family recently adopted a second dog, who was born in Ukraine and deals with pretty severe anxiety. We still have a ways to go with him, but the progress he has made has been amazing. I go to Ave Maria so I will be available during the whole school year! I do play lacrosse which is a spring sport however, I still tend to be decently flexible. I can find time to visit during the day and I am open to staying overnight! A lot of exercise and playtime. Meals and medicine 1-4 times a day depending on the breed and size. Some treats and lots of love!

“Jennifer was WONDERFUL! I can never leave my dog with anyone else now. She was so caring and communicative and very flexible when our travel got delayed. Thank you so much!”

“Victoria is terrific. She spent 7 days with my dog and cat as an in house sitter. Communication while I was away was just right - I especially enjoyed the photos and videos. All in order with the house when I arrived home - maybe even better than I left it! Most important, my pets were happy and contented.”

“Nina is the absolute best!!! She’s very sweet, kind and trustworthy. We received daily updates and our fur babies bonded with her…almost too much 😁 We would recommend her to friends and family. We can’t say enough good things about her!”

“Charles took great care of my dog! My dog is a lot to handle but Charles was more than capable. He came by for a meet & greet to get familiar with him and I definitely felt comfortable enough to leave to a multiple day festival while he watched my dog. Charles was also very respectful of my apartment and my neighbors who like to hang out with my dog on his walks only had positive things to say. Would definitely recommend and book again.”

“Absolutely the best decision to have Danielle stay with my boy. She was very attentive, send daily updates, and took amazing care of not only my pup, but my home! Highly recommend, and I will be requesting her assistance in the future.”

Michelle P.

“My dogs loved Jenelle and so did we! We could tell from the interactions that they were in very capable and loving hands. Throughout the stay, Jenelle sent numerous photos (and texts) of her playing,exercising and cuddling with both Ivy and Harley We left detailed instructions for the care of our house and pets which she followed to our greatest satisfaction. Our house was spotless when we returned and both dogs were happy and content We have finally met a very responsible and affectionate young lady that we can entrust with the care of our home and pets to. We plan on hiring Jenelle in the future and highly recommend her services. When it comes to trusting the care of both home and pets to someone and having peace of mind in doing so, we have been truly blessed with Jenelle. 🙂”

“Jillyn is an incredible dog sitter!! She took great care of not only my pup but also my home. I didn't worry about a thing while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend Jillyn and she will be the first person I'd reach out to for my future dog sitting needs!”

“Christina tool great care if my dogs. She us excellent with communication, punctuality and taking directions. I will happily hire her again!”

Kirsten N.

“Amber was great to work with while she stayed in our home with our three dogs. She loved on them all weekend and we could tell the dogs were happy and much more comfortable at home than at a kennel.”

About: I have always been an animal lover and grew up with two dogs! Our second dog which was mine I trained from a puppy and she is the sweetest pup! I love playing and being with all kinds of dogs high energy or low! I currently work part one so I am free most mornings and evenings for any kind of pet needs or even just attention:) This does not change weekly. I am willing to play with pets in their backyard or take them on nice long walks to burns some energy! Whatever they prefer:) I also love taking pets to the dog park to run around!

“Erick was amazing! This was the first time we had ever used this service and we were very happy with the result! He communicated everyday about our sweet pet and sent pictures. We highly recommend Erick!!”

About: Hello! I’m Kelby, a lifelong dog and cat lover with years of experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, and today I share my home with a Chihuahua, a Labrador, a cat, and three family cats. My pet care journey started in childhood walking neighbors’ dogs, helping friends with their pets, and pet sitting whenever someone needed a hand. By 18, I enrolled in Animal Behavior College and turned that my passion into a profession, becoming an ABCDT-certified trainer and pet care provider. I’ve now worked professionally with dogs and cats for over four years, and I especially love helping anxious, fearful, or reactive pets feel safe and understood. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the love and care they need. Pet care is part of my everyday life. Not only as a pet parent but also working professionally with dogs. My dogs and I love to go to the beach, parks, and anywhere we can find that’s fun to sniff! My schedule can be complex at times so please reach out for more information. Your pets safety always comes first. I will keep a close eye on your pet along with their body language to make sure they’re comfortable and happy in any situation. With my CPR and First Aid training, I’m prepared for emergencies, but my goal is always to prevent issues before they happen.

“2nd time with Charles and he continues to take such good care of our pups! We appreciate him and will continue to use him when we need a dog sitter!”

“It’s very clear to us that Paige is a BIG animal lover! She treated our sweet girl with great care while we were traveling, and checked in with us each day with photos of her adventures. We’ve already rebooked Paige for dog sitting.”

I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, as well as cats of all ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering oral medications if needed, and sticking to your pet’s normal routine. I am also CPR & First Aid certified, licensed and insured. Every dog is different, and I believe they deserve care that’s personalized to their needs and personality. ⸻ 🦴 Services I Offer • Daily dog walks • Drop-in visits • Puppy potty breaks • Feeding and fresh water • Playtime and enrichment • Belly rubs and lots of cuddles • Overnight boarding in your home where your fur baby is already comfortable with their space and surroundings. (Willing to board in my home as well if you prefer) • Picture, video and text updates daily • End of day puppy / dog report card • Last minute visits are always welcome 🤗 ❤️ What Makes Me Different When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like family—not just another booking. I keep my schedule flexible so your dog or cat receives plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and one-on-one care throughout the day. I offer flexible scheduling for daily walks, drop-in visits, and boarding. Whether you’re working long hours, planning a vacation, or simply need an extra hand, I’ll do everything I can to accommodate your pet’s needs. 🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my highest priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I am a CPR/FIRST AID PET-certified caregiver, I’m attentive, dependable, and committed to providing a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and secure. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so I can provide the best care possible. Whether we’re enjoying a walk, playing outside, or relaxing at home, your pet will always be supervised and treated with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. My goal is to make their time away from you as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates, along with text messages, and an end of day report card so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy, safe, and well cared for. Because to me, pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and I’ll care for yours the same way I’d want someone to care for mine.
