House Sitting in Bishop

About: Pet care experience What sets me apart? My deep understanding and experience with dogs, especially thanks to my 16 1/2 year old TruMan who passed away 2 years ago I have a lot experience with seniors and understanding their needs and can administer medications. I am a dog mom to 3 dachshunds Forester , Baxter & Whitney . I have 30 years experience with taking care of dogs of my own and for friends. I offer a nurturing, personalized approach to pet care, focusing on: - Puppy Training 🦮: I can help with basic commands and socialization. - Tailored Attention: I treat each pet as if they were my own, with customized care routines and plenty of love to keep them happy and comfortable. - Active Playtime I am a runner ( ultra marathon runner) and my dogs run with me as well . I have tons of energy and I love exercising dogs by walking running or a good game of fetch , your pets will enjoy engaging activities and exercise with me . Or if they are older and not active I’m good a giving doggie massages and pets . Your furry friends will receive not just care, but a warm, loving environment where their needs and personalities are truly understood. I’m a stay at home dog mom , so I have a flexible schedule. I run 7 days a week training for my ultra marathon races. I typically run with my dogs in the morning and do my long runs after . I am super flexible so I can work around the schedule of your pets needs . Let me know what special needs your doggy may have and we will take care of everything. Making your furry family member comfortable is important to me! Also Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. For example, scares of other dogs, and what he/she likes or not. I can take your dog on long walks along the canal and to the dog park to play.

“Can't say enough good things about, Summer! We are and will continue to be repeat customers. We have 3 dogs, including 2 reactive ones and Summer did a great job bonding with and managing them. She is reliable and very easy to communicate with. And we are thrilled to leave her taking care of our dogs in our home when we are away. Thank you for being awesome, Summer!”

“This was the second time Sarah house sat and took care of my dog. She did a great job and took Samantha for lots of walks and gave her lots of love. I will definitely use her again!”

About: My husband and I have had many animals since we were children so being around dogs and cats are very natural. My husband and I had two cats for our whole relationship who lived to be 18 and 16 that we loved dearly. Since we moved to Bishop we have fostered many dogs from the local shelter where all of them were adopted. We live close to the desert for a nice walk along the creek or a quick drive to the mountains for hikes on the trails. Our home has a cute, little fenced in yard where we can play ball or take naps in the sun. We can stop by for your pet’s needs when necessary or they can stay at our home as long as they are good with cats. We work from home so we are always around for your pet and will give them all the love and attention they need. Occasionally we foster dogs from the local shelter but we will let you know prior to booking. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. We have a fenced in yard where there is plenty of room to play. If crate trained there is plenty of room for their crate either in our spare bedroom or in the living room. Pets are allowed on the furniture and in the bed. Our cat, Willie minds his own business most of the time but is always looking for a buddy. We will make sure that your pet gets fed their proper amount at the proper time and will follow all rules you provide.

About: I've been helping take care of friends' dogs, cats, hamsters, and bunnies since I was a kid. Lately, I've been a go-to for many friends in the eastern Sierra area and have been really enjoying loving their floofs! I'm currently working from home full time so my schedule can be very flexible, but I also have the ability to get up early or drive later in the evening if necessary or requested by any of the people I am working for. In my clients home, I like to ensure that the animals being cared for have enough food, water, access to a liter box and play time. I think taking care of an animal does not just include making sure all the basic necessitates are covered, but also ensuring that they feel loved and have time to get their energy out in a healthy way (walking, ball throwing, etc) while their owner is away.

“Katrina is fantastic! I loved the pictures she sent me of my pup during her stay. My dog had a great time and looked so comfortable around her. She was super accommodating to her needs of not staying out during the day and took her for early morning and late night hikes instead. Highly recommend and thanks again!”

About: Many friends and strangers in the Eastern Sierra have relied on me to housesit and take care of their pets. I've loved animals my whole life and have a lot of hands-on experience caring for them. I grew up with a dog who was part of our family for 15 years, and as a child I also cared for two parakeets for several years. As an adult, I’ve looked after dogs and cats for weeks at a time while their owners were away, making sure they were well-fed, comfortable, and happy. I enjoy playful animals but equally respect when pets aren't as social. I'm currently working a remote part-time job, which gives me a great deal of flexibility with my time. Most pet needs/schedules can easily be accommodated. I'm an active person who regularly goes running/hiking, and enjoy taking dogs with me. I'm comfortable staying in rural or remote settings, and I treat other people’s homes with great respect and care, just as I would my own. I know how much it matters to have someone trustworthy who will keep things safe, tidy, and make sure pets feel loved while you're away. My goal is that you return to happy pets with your home just the way you left it.

“Sienna was wonderful with our pups! She had a calm demeanor and our dogs took to her right away. She is prompt, communicative, and easy to work with. Looking forward to working with her again!”

“Ellie was an incredible dog and house sitter. She followed all of my directions perfectly and cared for everything with so much thought and kindness. I came home to a happy dog and a well-kept home, and I’m truly grateful.””

“Mel responded quickly to my last minute request and was very good with our shy pup. He doesn't usually approach strangers, and I saw him go up to her 3x in the first 15 minutes she arrived so I could tell he would be comfortable with her. Thank you, Mel!”

“Ashley is just a gem! She provided the best care for our two dogs while we were in Mammoth on vacation. She made sure to ask all of the important details and took extra care of their health conditions. She even took them to a lovely creek so they were able to sit outside and enjoy the outdoors since they aren’t able to go on long walks. We will definitely use Ashley when we are in the area again! Highly recommend! Thank you so much!”
