House Sitting in Black Lake

“Eric is an excellent Dog Sitter! Within minutes he had befriended our oldest cranky Shorkey at the Meet and Greet. When he arrived to sit with our dogs they were actually excited to see him. Eric is a Dog Whisperer and our dogs like him a lot. We really appreciate Eric and will gladly use him again! Thanks for the great communication and pics of our dogs while we were out for the day!”

“Ann-Marie was very sweet and friendly. I felt as though she took great care of my pets. I was sent frequent updates and pictures. She seems to be a very trustworthy person to have come to your home and care for your animals and we would absolutely have her come back to care for our dogs again.”

About: Hi there! My name is Jessica Hawkins, (for some reason I can’t change the S in my name) I'm 39 years old and love animals! I know how hard it is to leave your fur baby at home for a long time. So I would love to help ease that stress with walks, feedings, or boardings! I’ve grown up with 2 dogs, a cat, and fish when I was younger. I even had three cats and a dog of my own a few years ago. I have one dog of my own now, a German Shepherd. I also have a 5 year old at home that I do bring with me wherever I go unless he is in school starting September. So I will more then likely ask if your pets gets along with kids. Just a few things I have done: -I've given dogs baths -I've clipped their nails -I go for walks with my dog and son -I've given oral medication before I would love to pet sit for you whether it's just for the day, a week, or a few hours. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I’m almost always readily available. I do live out in the country and am only about 10min from town. So pet care wouldn’t be difficult for me to do. I have a dog of my own. He is a bit hyper but he loves to play fetch. If I’m at a clients home I’d try to do some outdoor activities, weather permitting. I play fetch with my dog and my son loves to join in, so we often do that.

“Tanya went out of her way to come to our house to babysit our Labrador puppy. She was patient and kind and took time to talk about our expectations while we were away from our baby puppy. Taking care of a puppy requires patience and tolerance and love for animals. We could tell Tanya had all of these. She sent pics and communicated with us while we were away. I would recommend Tanya. And we would use her again.”

“Andrew was excellent! It was our first time using a dog sitter in our home and I could not have been more at ease. We were away for an entire week and Andrew spent so much time with them doing all of the things they love. He took them to the beach every day and kept us informed with pictures and texts letting us know how much fun they were having. I highly recommend him!”

About: I have had pets and cared for pets my entire life I have spent majority of my adult life in animal welfare such as vet clinics, rescues, boarding and daycare facilities. I have experience caring for animals of all ages and sizes such as cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, birds, and some live stock. I also have experience with medications, behavioral issues, age and other restrictions. I currently in the off season of my job and I have a very flexible schedule at this moment in time. I can also take last minute bookings. Your pet will have any thing he or she will possibly desire with me. I’m an active person and love to go out for walks but also like a good snuggle on the couch.

“Jaekob was great and Cooper and Kiara had a great time. He stayed with them overnight and was a respectful house guest!! We would book with him again without hesitation.”

About: Dog sitting in my home allows your dog to have daily attention and love. Your dog should be house potty trained. I have a partial fenced in yard which makes potty use very easy for your pet during their stay. I live on a lake so if your dog loves to swim, they will have lots of fun. Please bring your dog’s favorite toys, leash, food, dog bed, and crate if required for night sleeping. I have been around dogs my entire life and absolutely love them. I am looking forward to meeting your loving pet. I work part time at the golf course so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I’m not always available on weekends due to out of town family and friends visiting. I spend most of my time with your dog whether we are inside or outside. My goal is to keep your dog comfortable and happy.

“Rebecca provided a top-notch level of service, housesitting for senior black lab. She provided text updates and fun pix so we could follow how everything was going and see how much Smokey Bear loved being with her. Rebecca managed her time in our home and property very responsibly. We will definitely call her first for our next trip!”
