House Sitting in Avondale

“Jennifer did a great job pet sitting and letting our 4 dogs out for potty breaks during the day. We came home to happy pups and our home the way we left it. Thank you for caring for our fur babies while we were out of town!”

“I absolutely must say WOW!!! Jolene was absolutely fantastic with our Andy. He is a great handful as he is a puppy. He took to Jolene right away. We did not have to worry when we were on vacation. Jolene sent update pictures of Andy and let us know that he was ok and doing well. She even let us know that trees had fallen on our property as a storm had came. Jolene is a true delight to be around. This was our first time using Rover and we will be using Jolene for all of our future trips. Many thank you’s to Jolene. We are very appreciative for all of the love you showed our Andy.”

“Kerri is the BEST! She stayed at our house for over a week taking care of our dog and cat. Because our dog is large (70lbs) and sometimes anxious/reactive, it can be difficult to find a sitter that is a good fit. Kerri came prepared, asked lots of questions, sent daily updates, and our dog loved her. We will definitely book Kerri again -- highly recommended!”

“If you’re looking for a great pet/house sitter, Riley is your person. Riley took great care of my pup and fish, checked in daily with me, sent photos and provided daily walks each day. At the end of the stay, Riley summarized Toby’s week, including highlights and household things she did on a sheet of paper. Riley is very reliable and I’ll definitely book her again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for many years, and used to have a senior dog. My love for dogs and cats sets the bar so high and I love playing and taking care of them. I’m currently working part time at the hospital and am looking for a side gig with pets, I can do mornings or evenings but looking for flexible clients. I have lots of toys and love to play with my dog and cat. I love taking my dog out for walks, and love meeting other people’s dogs and cats!

“Virginia took care of our cat snd home while we were away for a week. She kept us updated about our kitty with daily photos and messages. She left the house tidy. We are very pleased with Virginia and will ask her to care for our cat and home in the future.”

“Lora went above and beyond caring for my dog Brinkley. He has tons of play time which he loves, and I have so amazing photos and videos. She cared for him as she would her own dog. She went above and beyond when my flight was delayed to care for him and alleviated all of my worries during an exhausting time.”

Heather M.

“Lonnie handled my high energy big dogs wonderfully. He clearly cared about their health and well being, which means a lot to my husband and me when we put our babies in someone else's care. Thanks Lonnie, we'll see you next time!”

About: Simply put, I truly LOVE animals. I have always enjoyed spending time with, and playing with pets of all kinds. I will put your pets' needs above my own. I'm currently working full time, but I am usually home when not at work. I live 5 minutes away from my job, so I will always be available for your fur babies even while working if I need to be. I care for pets the same way I would care for a baby. Their needs are always more important than mine, and I will always make time for them. They also get plenty of attention and play time! Please note: I will have to crate them while at work. This is the ONLY time they will be crated. I will also be home around 1:30 for lunch to take your pet out for a potty break.

About: [Please note: I am back in Maryland for this season.] I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life, whether in my own house or my neighbors’. I’ve become used to both the chaos and peacefulness of pet caretaking, and I’m always ready to learn something new. In terms of dogs, most of my experience has been with small to medium or slightly large dogs, but I’ve spent time with all types and am excited about new experiences. I’ve walked dogs and pet-sat for neighbors as the majority of my paid experience, and I’m looking to expand outside of my neighborhood. As someone who goes to college in another state, I am often in Maryland during the summers and winters, where I have extra love to give to pets (there aren’t many on campus)! While back home for summer or winter vacation, I have a very flexible schedule and love to go walking, which is why dog walking and pet sitting suits me perfectly. My other job is during the school year, so it doesn’t interfere with my summer/winter schedules. That means that I am available most days of the week, and I will try to be as accommodating as possible for my clients. As someone who’s grown up with pets, I regularly help with feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up their litter box or taking them to the bathroom, administering medicine when necessary, along with any other additional care that they need. While working with clients, I write down any specific instructions they have for me and build a consistent routine, especially if I am pet sitting. I understand that different animals have different schedules and needs, so flexibility and safety is my priority.

“Took great care of our two energetic dogs! Reliable and followed their routines. Happy to have found Shaelin last minute to watch our fur babies. Enjoyed our trip knowing they were in good hands.”

“Micah was awesome! He got along great with our Ruby and Lily. He asked all the right questions. When we were away and he wasn’t sure of something, he asked. He was a trooper with our Ruby who is afraid of bad weather and he handled it awesomely. He picked up after himself and left the house in great condition. Highly recommend!”

“Sarah took our booking the week of and still made time to come do a meet and greet with us beforehand! She was very polite and took great care of our pets and home. I’m very pleased and would absolutely book her again.”

About: In the past 6 years I have taken care of one large dog and three small dogs. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own. I can provide additional puppy training, long walks, and administering medication. I currently work part-time, two to three days a week. I have free afternoons afters 3:30pm depending on location, early mornings 4-8am and some weekends to provide services. My goal is to make your fur baby feel completely at ease. I can offer mile hikes for dogs and cats & bunnies who like outdoor activity and entertainment.

“Sofia was wonderful! She took great care of our dog!”

“Delaney did an amazing job with our dogs and chickens while we were away on vacation. She sent pictures during the week, and kept us posted. The house was just as clean when we came home is when we left it. Our dogs were happy, their water bowl was filled, the mail was put on our kitchen table, along with a couple of packages. Next time we go away, I will definitely contact Delaney again.”

I am a passionate advocate for the human-animal bond; my own dog is a certified therapy dog, and together we volunteer at hospitals, nursing homes, hospice facilities, and schools. I treat every dog I watch with the same compassion and attention I give my own.

Your pets will receive expert care in a loving, safe environment.

About: I have had dogs since I was born - big dogs, little dogs, hyper dogs, and lazy dogs. I took care of those dogs growing up whether it was walking them, watering them, feeding them, or cleaning up after them. However, I’ve taken care of other people’s pets since I was 10, walking and feeding neighbors dogs and cats, as well as sitting for friends and family. I currently am a senior in high school who gets up at 6 for school, so I have early mornings available, and get out of school at 2:30pm. However, this means I do have weekends free all day every day! I have a huge back yard that so many dogs have enjoyed. I have crates from when my dogs were being crate trained, however now they roam so those crates are open if needed, otherwise I love a dog that likes to sleep in bed!

About: I have always had dogs and cats growing up, which peaked my interest in animal care. In high school I worked as a kennel technician at a boarding kennel and gained an internship at the local veterinary office. now in college, I am studying animal science to hopefully get a degree in veterinary medicine, and continue to pet sit for my friends and family including both cats and dogs. I'm currently home from college for the summer, and home most of the time! I do have a car, and am available almost any time of the day. I have pets in my home that are not socialized, so I would not be able to pet sit in my own home, but I am happy to make the trip to the comfort of their own home.

“We've had Sarah watch our pets a few times and she continues to be fabulous. Sarah is to very vigilant & a strong communicative sitter! Plus our pets absolutely ADORE her, which I am so appreciative of.”
