House Sitting Bottineau

“Ashley was an excellent house/dog sitter! Our pup was clearly well taken care of, she spent lots of time playing and walking him. We appreciated the routine updates and she left the house clean and secured. Glad to know we can work with her again!”

About: Eight years ago, I had the privilege of finding my soul dog, who taught me just how beautiful and meaningful the bond between humans and animals can be. Learning to understand her unique personality, nonverbal communication, and individual needs deepened my patience, empathy, and intentionality in caring for animals. My sweet girl sadly passed away in November 2025, but the love and lessons she gave me continue to shape how I connect with animals today. I find so much joy in getting to know each animal as an individual, building trust, respecting their boundaries, and providing loving, attentive care that meets their unique needs. I currently share my home with two cats, and our household regularly welcomes dogs we're caring for. I also have experience house-sitting for friends and family, allowing their pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their routines as closely as possible. I believe animals communicate so much when we take the time to listen and observe. Whether your pet is playful and outgoing or shy and needs a little extra patience, my priority is to help them feel safe, respected, loved, and understood while you're away. I'm currently self-employed, which allows me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to accommodate your pet's needs and routines! I'm available for drop-in visits, house sitting, and daily walks, including weekdays and weekends. I enjoy incorporating time with animals into my daily routine and am happy to coordinate schedules to ensure your pets receive consistent, attentive, and loving care. Whether it's a quick check-in, a long walk, or overnight companionship, I'm committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. Creating a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment is my priority. My home has a fenced yard and two cats who are accustomed to dogs, though I prefer a meet-and-greet before confirming stays to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I respect their individual needs, boundaries, and routines, providing patient, attentive care so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you're away.

“I can’t say enough great things about Brianna! She came and stayed at our house for the first time and our doggos can be a handful (to say the least!). She gave regular updates, took them on walks, and even got our shy kitty to come out and say hello. It was so nice to know we could be out of town and have our pets be in such great hands. I can’t recommend her enough!!”

Abby E.

“Brandon took care of my big lovable dog at my home while I was away on a work trip. He took great care of him and was great with communication. Will definitely use him again if needed!”

Rebecca K.

“So glad we hired Ayrie! She was incredibly patient with our difficult dogs and they bonded with her right away. We left town for several days and not only did Ayrie take terrific care of our dogs, but also left the house spotless. She was kind, accommodating and professional. Will definitely be hiring Ayrie again!”

“Shykala took fantastic care of my pup while I was away! She was excellent at communicating and sent several detailed updates which kept my mind at ease. She also kept my home tidy and ensured my pet received his daily medications in a timely manner. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”

“Hisham was a great house sitter,he stayed at my house and took care of my dog and three cats. His communication was excellent, I received daily photos of the pets. He walked my dog every day and snuggled the cats a lot. He was very responsible, and one of the best things was before we got home he not only stripped the bed but washed the sheets and re-put them on, and vacuumed the house! Very impressive, will be using him again for sure.”

Karen M.

“Stephanie was amazing. We have 3 dogs, one who is geriatric and two adolescent Vizelas, plus 6 cats. Most need some type of medication. She handled the entire circus with ease. Stephanie is our new go to for our zoo.”

Michael K.

“Eleanor is as professional as they come. She handled the complexities of our pet family with ease. Eleanor provides just the right amount of communication. Our dogs (and gecko) love her.”

Brent B.

“We booked Oliver after our sitter canceled on us 2 days before leaving for our destination wedding. Oliver was a wonderful sitter from start to finish. They provided excellent care to our dogs, one of which is on many epilepsy medications and is reactive to other dogs and the other who has severe anxiety. Oliver provided us with updates throughout the booking and were timely with their response time. They treated our house with care and respect. We will definitely be booking them again!”

Josephine G.

“Anika took care of our dog, Keri, and our home for 10 days land 9 nights. We came home to a contented pup. The weather was severely cold while we were away (many days well below zero degrees) and Anika was diligent about putting Keri’s warm jacket on her when she went outside to do her business in the yard or —- when it was sunny enough—when she took her for a walk. She sent us photos of Keri nearly every day. We plan to ask Anika to take care of Keri again in the future, and we highly recommend her as a dog (and house) sitter.”

Rian E.

“Justine was prompt, responsive and proactive with her communication while housesitting/pet sitting for my two senior pups. I would recommend her and I look forward to having her watch my pups again.”
