House Sitting in Botsford

About: I'm an enthusiastic overnight pet sitter who loves to make pets feel at ease and have fun while their humans are away! I have always been around animals and adopted a dog as soon as I was able. Since she passed away I'm always looking for ways to play with pets. For the active pups, I'm always up for a game of fetch or an adventurous trail walk, giving them the exercise they need to stay happy and healthy. For the more laid-back ones, I’m more than happy to provide some gentle snuggles and quiet companionship. Every pet is different, and I truly enjoy getting to know their unique personalities and preferences. Your furry friend will enjoy plenty of attention, a safe environment, and lots of love while you're away. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I do what I can to make their stay as fun and comforting as possible! I'm also happy and available to take dogs on walks or potty breaks during the day. I'm currently spending some time with my family in the east coast, but have lots of flexibility for daytime or overnight care. Although I ideally have a couple days notice, I can also make last-minute needs work. Its very important for me to establish trust with dogs prior to an overnight stay, and we can do that at their own pace by taking a calm walk or using treat rewards. While in your home I'll make sure to follow any safety rules and be very aware of doors, making sure dogs are always leashed before opening them (I had a dog that liked to take off for a while so am very vigilant about this!). If your dog has challenges with other animals, I can always make sure they have space on walks and play. I provide hands-on care with belly rubs and ear scratches to keep dogs calm and happy. I can handle oral medications and am happy to provide daily updates with photos :)

About: I’ve been taking care of pets big and small since I was a kid. I used to work full-time as a dog handler at a dog daycare & boarding facility. I am experienced with caring for animals with special needs and behavioral issues. I know how to do dog baths & nails. I am Dog & Cat first aid/CPR certified. There is nothing I love more than caring for animals! I have very flexible availability. I can adjust my schedule to your needs. I have been incorporating pet care (whether with my pets or others') into my daily schedule for years! I am a very attentive pet sitter. I am very knowledgable of animal behavior and will always attend to your pets needs. I am an excellent communicator and will send pictures of your animal every day you're away from them.

“She is awesome. Very sweet to my little fella and goes above and beyond.”

“Katie was a wonderful house/dog sitter for our two dogs. They were well cared for and loved while we were away. That was very evident when we came home to two happy and relaxed dogs. It was very clear that Katie spent a great deal of time with them. Such a plus! We really appreciated the updates/photos, and she was so kind to answer all my questions. This was the first time we used Rover. We were very apprehensive and had some trepidation prior to leaving. However, Katie far exceeded my expectations. We’s absolutely have Katie (if she would agree) watch our dogs again. Thank you, Katie! 🐶”

“Taylor was an excellent house sitter and care giver for our dog! From our first engagement through messages, she communicated promptly and clearly. For our meet and greet, Taylor asked great questions that showed she was knowledgeable with dogs and well experienced. During her stay, she communicated updates and photos regularly. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing everything was well cared for. It was clear she was a good fit for our dog and family. We will definitely have Taylor back and would be happy to recommend her to others!”

“My dogs, especially the standoffish one, of my 3, loved Ian upon meeting him. He is very patient and gentle. He is so considerate and attentive. I cant praise him enough! We are actually stuck where we traveled to, and were able to book him last minute for a few more days. We will be tipping him accordingly upon our retun thanks to his last minute flexibility. HIGHLY RECOMMEND”

“Samantha is amazing. She stayed for a week and went over and above. She kept us informed the entire time and takes great care of our pups. We feel lucky to have her!!”

About: I am an energetic and active young professional looking to spend more time with animals! I have always loved animals and would love to help care for them! I have had dogs my entire life and have dog-sat for others various times. These dogs have ranged in all different sizes, from chihuahuas to full-sized golden doodles. I am very familiar with how to care for them, whether that be from feeding them, just to knowing when they need to go out, to safely walking them around the neighborhood. I am also familiar with cats, but would love to gain more experience with them! I have yet to have my own, but have cared for various breeds and personalities. I can guarantee that your pets will be taken care of with love and utmost responsibility. I am fully vaccinated as well! I do commute and work full time so I am most open to walking pets or dropping by on my way home. Open to flexibility! I will treat your animals as my own, they will have the utmost care and attention. I always strive to make sure they are comfortable, happy, and healthy.

About: Animals have been a mainstay in my life for as long as I can recall. Growing up with dogs of all shapes and sizes, I developed a deep-rooted comfort and intuition when it comes to canine companionship. Whether I’m working with a high-energy breed that needs a long run or a sensitive soul that requires a gentle touch, I pride myself on providing care that is both physically stimulating and emotionally grounded. I understand that every dog is a unique individual. My goal is to be more than just a sitter; I strive to be a reliable friend who understands your pet's specific body language and personality. What I Offer High-Energy Adventures: If your dog has energy to burn, I am happy to provide brisk walks, hikes, or vigorous play sessions to ensure they stay fit and happy. Emotional Support & Patience: I have experience with dogs that may be anxious or shy. I prioritize building trust through calm, consistent interaction and positive reinforcement. Experience with All Breeds: From tiny terriers to gentle giants, I enjoy the variety that different breeds bring and am comfortable managing various temperaments. Reliable & Attentive Care: I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring their safety and well-being are the top priority while you are away. My Commitment I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you're at work or traveling. I look forward to meeting your pet, learning their favorite routines, and providing the exceptional, personalized care they deserve. I’m currently taking care of my own pup while working part time. This gives me plenty of time to properly care for your pup and give it the time and attention it deserves. I care for my own pet with love, compassion, and understanding. I use redirection when less than ideal behaviors are presented and add in training with treats to reinforce good behaviors. I also include praise and encouragement with the pets that I care for.

About: I’ve helped care for eight family dogs throughout my life, so I’m very comfortable around different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and understand how important it is to keep pets safe and comfortable. I’m available on weekends with flexible hours, and I’m also available every weekday after 2 PM. This allows me to give your dog plenty of attention in the afternoons and evenings, whether that’s for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. I will always communicate clearly about scheduling When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I also give lots of attention and supervision so they feel safe while you’re away.

“I recently went away for 4 days and Laura watched my cat Felipe for me. As a first time cat owner and adopting Felipe almost 3 months ago, I was very nervous about leaving Felipe alone especially over night. Laura kept me updated the whole time, sent me pictures at every drop in to ease my worries and even did some extra drop ins to give him a little company. This was my first time using Laura as my cat sitter and she was absolutely amazing with Felipe. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby”

About: I have been volunteering in animal shelters for the past 6 years and I am a vet tech student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I can administer injections and handpill. I also have my own senior, diabetic dog at home and have no problem taking care of dogs that need a little more attention and time. I also have experience handling hamsters and mice and would be more than happy to meet the needs of any rodent! I am currently a university student (studying to be a vet tech!), but whenever I am home I am free to take care of as many pets as needed! I can provide care within your home and I don't mind walking a dog in any kind of terrain. I will treat your animals as if they're my own and their health and safety will come before all else.

“Molly is very kind and considerate to all of our pets needs. She followed all instructions and went above and beyond while house sitting to make sure we came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Can easily trust her to make sure our dogs are cared for while we're away.”
