House Sitting Bardsdale

About: With many years of experience caring for cats, I offer loving, reliable boarding in my home or overnight care in yours! I treat every cat like family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. You can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. My goal is to become your cat’s new favorite sitter and someone you can always trust! ❤️ 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.

“Emily watched our dog Otis in our home for 4 days. She communicated with us everyday and was quick to respond. Our dog Otis can be shy around new people and he warmed up to Emily right away. Your dogs and your house are in good hands with Emily, we would definitely trust her to watch Otis again!”

About: I was born into a family with Saint Bernards, and over my lifetime have owned seven Saints plus an English Mastiff, a pittie mix, a cat, birds, fish, rodents, reptiles, and horses. I've been described by friends and family as a dog whisperer, and I can't help but make friends with any dog I see. I've been dogsitting for friends and family on the side for years now, doing overnight visits, extended stays, and drop-ins for potty, walks, and meals. I love cats and dogs of all sizes, but I've always had a soft spot for the giant breeds. I was a cross country runner and still live an active lifestyle, so long walks and runs are no problem. I can also do transportation to vet visits, doggy day care or walks at dog parks, etc. I'm looking forward to taking care of your furry family members! I am widely available for scheduling. I have a few steady clients with regular visits, but I can work with you and figure out the best schedule! As a lifelong animal owner, I understand the needs of many animals, as well as the feelings that owners have towards their furry friends. My initial clients were friends, but through the established trust and word of mouth recommendations, that list has grown. When doing overnight or extended stays, I will always bring in the mail, take out the trash, and perform any other household duties you may need. I've cared for sick dogs, handled emergency situations, and taken care of urine and other medical samples for my clients. Whatever you need, I can accommodate.

“Kevin was a great dog and house sitter for us! Conscientious, punctual and very responsive. It is nice to not worry about your home and pets while you are away - we will not hesitate to use him again.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16, so I have years of experience with animals of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to older pets who need extra patience and love. I currently have two dogs and a cat, and I’ve raised them since they were young, so I understand the attention, training, and care every animal needs. I’m an athlete and love going on walks, so I can keep up with high-energy dogs or take long, leisurely strolls with older pets. I’m also comfortable handling feisty or shy pets, and I always focus on building trust, keeping pets safe, and making sure they feel happy and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just companionship, I treat every animal like family and adapt to their unique personality and needs. I’m willing to go the extra mile (literally and figuratively) to make sure your pets feel cared for, safe, and comfortable. I just finished school and currently work as a waitress for about 4 hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of free time. I’m looking to spend those off-hours doing something I genuinely love caring for pets. My schedule is really flexible, so I’m able to fit in walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the day and week. Whether you need regular visits or last-minute help, I’m happy to make it work around my shifts. When I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible so their pet feels safe and comfortable. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or extra cuddly and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and reassurance while you’re away. I also respect your space by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. When caring for pets in my own home, I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and explore safely. My dogs are kept in my garage during visits so your dog has full freedom to roam in the yard or, if they are an indoor dog, stay inside the house comfortably. I already have two dogs and a cat, so I’m used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone feels safe and happy. Walks, playtime, and lots of love are always part of the day. No matter where your pet is, my goal is always the same: to keep them safe, happy, and loved just like they’re part of my own family.

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.

“Amanda was great with our animals, including our cat who needs medication daily. Came home to happy animals and was very happy to provide updates and pictures!”

About: I’ve helped rescue two dogs so far within these past few years. Animals have really brightened up my life. I love caring for pets any size and age. My old co workers would call me the doggy whisperer because I liked talking to the dogs that would come in with their owners and the dogs seem to take a liking to me. I’m not sure why dogs gravitate to me. I think it has to do with how much I appreciate all the love they have to give. They truly are little fury blessings. I am grateful to come in to contact with pets. I enjoy making them smile from ear to ear. With great responsibility, there also comes great rewards with having pets. I’m here to help anybody in need of a dog/house sitter! My availability is currently open anytime Monday through Sunday, day or night! I also am available for holidays and all summer long if you need me. I am currently only open to house sitting inside your home or pet sitting in your home. Temporarily in a transition of moving so, my place currently isn’t available for dog boarding.

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.

“Excellent! Great communication before and during her stay. Always responsive and anticipating questions or issues. Cannot recommend highly enough!”

“We used Sara for the first time and she was great. We had a long list of instructions and reminders for our numerous babies and everything worked out perfectly. Would use her again, if we haven't scared her away with our tricky group!”

“Lexy took great care of our old man. We really appreciate it. She sent us some nice photos, as well. We trusted her to take care of our pup and our home, and we're very happy with her care. Thank you!”

About: I have over a decade of pet-sitting all different types of dogs. I like to think of myself as a dog whisperer because I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, needs, and comfort level. I always try to understand the pets in my care and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I am very passionate about pups, and making them happy truly makes me happy. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness, and extra attention they may need and require. 🫶🏽 I am currently a full-time student but I have a very flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home. I enjoy spending my days hanging out with my own pup and going on long daily walks. Since I am home often, I am able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. My home is very dog-friendly, calm, and welcoming. I have one dog, and she is incredibly sweet, friendly, and used to being around other pups. She does not mind sharing the couch, the backyard, or her space. I want every dog in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and at home.

“Meagan stayed with my dogs for 10 days. They were quite happy and contented while I was gone. The house was clean and well tended as well. I would recommend Meagan and plan to use her again.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I currently have two dogs, two cats, and fish, and I’ve also cared for birds, guinea pigs, and rabbits throughout my life. Having experience with so many different animals has taught me that every pet has its own personality, needs, and routines. As a mom of two young children and an educator, I’m patient, responsible, attentive to details, and great at following instructions. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind! I work part-time as a tutor and caregiver for an adult with special needs, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find times that work best for their pets’ routines and needs. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I’ll do my best to provide dependable, attentive care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s day! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and feel comfortable while you’re away. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of following feeding schedules, respecting each pet’s boundaries, keeping doors and gates secure, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, give your pets plenty of attention and affection, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, trustworthy hands.

“Leah did an amazing job and I will for sure be using her again in the future! I appreciated her quick communication, the many pics of my pup, and overall just being a nice, clean, respectful human being that very clearly loves dogs. I could tell Ryu was well taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone! You will feel very at ease with Leah.”

About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including puppies. I’m comfortable working with pets of different ages, personalities and energy levels. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care! I currently work part time which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting. I’m able to accommodate different schedules, including weekdays and weekends, and can work with owners to find a time that fits their needs. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always follow owners instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any routines or preferences. I enjoy keeping pets entertained with playtime, walks and plenty of affection. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so that they feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for!

“Excellent job taking care of my dog and 2 cats. Great communication and a wonderful person. I will be using her again in the future for sure!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a majority of my life. Dogs are my family and I will treat your dog the same way. I understand they are dependent on us and need us. I’m a very ambitious person. I enjoy keeping busy. I do work as a Systems Engineer however, have plenty of time early mornings and after work. Weekends I’m free. I do pay attention to detail including locking the fence or gate and any doors. I will rely on you to tell me what needs to be locked but, safety for the dog always comes first.
