House Sitting Bardsdale

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, and horses. I work on a ranch, have had dogs, and currently have a cat of my own. As a nursing student, I’m dependable, attentive, and detail-oriented. I’ll treat your cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I make pet care a priority in my routine and love spending quality time with the animals I care for. I know being away from their owner can be stressful, so I make an extra effort to help each cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat them like family, giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship so they feel as relaxed and at home as possible while their person is away. Your cat’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow your instructions, keep their environment clean and secure, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I understand that some cats want lots of affection while others need time and space to feel comfortable. I never force interaction and let them build trust with me at their own pace. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible and make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away.

About: I have always grown up with big dogs and have dealt with reactive dogs as well. I know how to approach each dogs quirks when I walk them! I just graduated college and am currently job searching and walking dogs is a great way to get my steps in and fill my love for dogs as a side gig Whenever I enter my parents home or another’s home greeting the dogs with love is a must! My parents dogs are always on my mind and I am constantly thinking about if they are bored or need to use the bathroom. My heart strings are pulled anytime I see a dog on the street and go out of my way to give it water or food.

About: I have had a Maltipoo for 12 years since he was 7 weeks old, a 6 year old male Labrador Retriver, and I rescued a one year old male Chihuahua in Vietnam. This makes me a credible caretaker of senior dogs, various dog breeds of many sizes, and a specialized knowledge in veterinarian care. I have also been actively taking care of dogs for over 15 years and have a passion and affinity for every breed with no discrimination, ensuring top quality care in any circumstance. I have a remote marketing job, but I love dogs a lot, so I love working with dogs to make life feel more fulfilling. My schedule is flexible and I work for myself, so fitting pet care into my daily routine is not an issue. I have a fenced yard with a spacious neighborhood, which is perfect to play in safely with enough room for enthralling walks! My dogs absolutely loves these walks because my neighborhood is scenic and safe. My dogs are also very spoiled because I believe every animal should be taken care of with the best quality and care. I groom my them, play with them (toys and exercise), sometimes read him a story, watch TV with them or leave the TV on for them when I’m away, and also give the best cuddles. My biggest dog Apollo has a specific diet that involves giving him exactly 6 blueberries before walks, so I’m very attentive and precise. I am also an amazing belly rubber, and my friends and family can attest to this with their own dogs!

“Another fantastic play date with Kevin and Jibo. Jibo has decided he owns his friend Kevin. They have a great time together and we feel a huge relief knowing Jibo is in good hands when we go for extended periods of time.”

About: My family owned golden retrievers during my childhood, teaching me how to properly love and care for pets. I grew up being involved in my pets' care by feeding, walking, bathing, and grooming them. Additionally, I had the experience of being a cat owner, as I lived with a cat my sophomore year of college. I would occasionally watch my roommate's cat while she was out of town. I know the love and affection our pets deserve and I excited to spoil your pets with the care they deserve! I am currently a college student, making me mainly avaiable on week day evenings/nights and weekends! I am also free to work on holidays and long term visits. I ensure quality care for pets by ensuring they are comfortable in their environment. I additionally prioritize each specific pets needs. I will provide consistent and compassionate care for you and your pets.

“She did a great job with our animals. She kept everyone happy and loved while we were gone. I would definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I love animals; always have! I used to come home from school and do homework in front of Animal Planet and when it wasn't doing that I was taking care of my neighbor's pets. Cats, dogs and horses and I looked forward to it every time. My responsibilities included walking, playing, feeding and even reading to them (which I have on good authority was very adorable). I'm very excited to take care of your fur babies for you! Fear Free Leader in Animal Wellbeing graduate. *Ask me about Active & Running services* **Ask me about Pet Portraiture Add-ons** I am currently taking online classes and looking forward to being with animals when I can part time. I am looking forward to meeting new pets and taking care of them in between bouts of homework and studying. I am available for most services! Including drop-in check-ins, letting dogs out to do their business or go on walks or play with your pets. I'm also available to pet-sit and keep them company while they relax in their space. After meeting your pets and learning their specific and unique needs, likes or dislikes, I am available to feed, walk, play most days.

“We had a wonderful experience with Natalie house sitting our Goldendoodle. She is a great communicator, very thoughtful and proactive about taking excellent care of our home and pet. We will definitely hire her again in the future!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, but my biggest experience comes from raising my two Blue Heelers from puppies. My oldest is 15 years old and my other is 7, so I’ve had years of experience learning how different dogs can be at every stage of life. Blue Heelers are smart, energetic, and definitely have their own personalities, so raising them has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, exercise, and understanding a dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with high energy pups that want to play and stay active, but I also know how important it is to slow things down and give older dogs the extra attention and patience they need. What I think sets me apart is that I don’t see dog sitting as just feeding a dog and taking them outside. I actually enjoy getting to know each dog their personality, their routine, what makes them comfortable, and what makes them happy. I’ll give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pup is being treated like family while you’re away. I work a part-time job, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to give dogs the attention and exercise they need. I’m available any time on weekdays and weekends, which gives me plenty of time to play, walk, feed, and spend quality time with them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I really enjoy being around dogs. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I treat their home and their pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep their pets on their normal routine, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, food, and fresh water. I also keep the space clean and secure and provide updates so the owner knows their pets are doing well.

“Over the years I have had several sitters, and I can honesty say that Madison is the BEST. I am a new mom and she watched our house and pets while we were all away on holiday for 5 days. She stayed in my home and went above and beyond! We were able to be worry free because she gave me photo and video updates throughout the day which was perfect! I would ask her to sit for me again in a heartbeat.”

“Krista took such amazing care of our 130 lb dog while we were out of town. She didn’t just “watch” him, she truly loved on him, played with him, and treated him with so much kindness and attention. Coming home to a happy, relaxed, tail-wagging dog says everything about the care he received. She also watered our plants, kept us updated with lots of pictures, and went above and beyond by watercoloring a beautiful portrait of our dog as a parting gift. It was incredibly thoughtful and meaningful. Krista is dependable, caring, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with animals. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pets and home.”

“This was the first time Gavin stayed with my girls and they loved him. He was super responsive to questions and graciously stayed two extra days when I encountered and unexpected medical issue during my trip out of town. He really went the extra mile for us and I am sure he would for you too.”

“Julia was a fantastic fit for our family! Excellent communication, my dogs loved her and they were happy and calm when I returned.”

“Albie was great with watching our dog while we were on a trip. There was some time to get warmed-up, but he pushed through and was able to have good interactions with him after a couple days. He is great about sending pictures and updating us on how things are going. We appreciated that he followed instructions and took good care of our dog.”

“Mya is thoughtful and very loving, as if they were one of their own!”

About: I have been taking care of a variety of dogs over the last ten years. I have been able to give love to puppies, animals in their last months of life, and even three legged friends. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, hikes, playing fetch, and interactive enrichment games. My schedule as a substitute teacher gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the week. I typically work anywhere from 2-4 days Monday-Friday, usually from around 8 AM–3 PM, so I have plenty of availability before and after school, as well as on days when I’m not teaching. I love being active, spending time outdoors, and being around animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to fitting into my routine. Whether it’s a walk, time to play, a drop-in visit, or house sitting, I’m happy to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need! I always start by learning each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. Most importantly though, I follow the owner’s instructions closely. My goal is to make the pet feel like nothing has changed, even though their owner is away. For walks and drop-in visits, I enjoy getting to know each pet and finding fun ways to keep them happy and engaged. Depending on their personality and energy level, that might include going for a walk, playing fetch, trying interactive games, spending time outside, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection. I like offering more than one way for pets to get their energy out while also making sure they have everything they need before I leave. For house sitting, I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, play, and bedtime routines while keeping them company and making sure the home stays clean and secure. Since every pet is different, I’m always happy to adjust my care to their individual temperament, preferences, and needs.
