House Sitting in Bracken

“Emma is the best and a true angel! We have three standard poodles who are our 4 legged kids and we have never left them in someone’s care outside of family. Poodles are very family oriented and can be wary of strangers. After meeting Emma, we were amazed at how quickly the girls took to Emma as if they had known her for a lifetime. She came to our home and provided outstanding care. Emma provided us periodic updates during the day and even sent pictures showing us how well things were going. Emma is a true blessing to our family and I know we will reach out to her again! 💕🐾”

About: I’ve taken care of my aunt’s dog since I was little and then briefly lived with one until he passed. I was in charge of walking and feeding them and both dogs absolutely adored me. Now as I’ve grown up, my favorite animals are still dogs but I unfortunately don’t have any and I have the cutest little kitties. Hoping to get my serotonin boost from hanging out with your pups instead! I’m currently studying so I’m available for onboarding any day you need me to! I’m free to watch over them and make sure their needs are met since I am home all day typically. My yard isn’t fenced fully but it is mostly and your fur baby will have all the space to run around. I will be home all day to keep them company and make sure they’re happy.

“Bree was wonderful! And most important, Sophie was a happy girl and well taken care of. Bree’s experience is such a plus and, after just a short time, we felt comfortable and assured that Sophie would be in good hands. We will definitely use her services again.”

“We absolutely loved having Madeline watch our two pups while we were on vacation! I am guilty of leaving too many instructions sometimes, and she made me feel at ease before and during our time away. She also cleaned the house, washed all linens, and left the house in perfect shape. We’d be honored to have her as a sitter again!”

“She’s super kind and was more than helpful. She went out of her way to make my dogs extra happy, comfortable, and loved.”

“Natalie was so great! I didn’t have to worry for a second that my dog wasn’t being taken care of. Very kind and obviously cared to make sure everything was going okay. The best, will book again!!! 💖”

About: Thanks for stopping by our page. We are a family that loves animals. We love visiting zoos and sanctuaries. Currently, we have one pyredoodle, a fish, and a bearded dragon. This account was created for my son. He is 13 and will be the main caretaker of your fur baby. This is the best way for him to play with lots of animals and more importantly learn responsibility. He has been wonderful and gets so excited every time he learns he'll be pup sitting again. He has 5 consistent repeat clients and loves their fur babies just as he does his brother (our pyredoodle is his brother :) ) Of course, my husband and I will always be supervising.😊 All updates and arrangements are made through me. All earnings go directly to my son. As we aren't on Rover to generate an income our profile may be different from other sitters. Please review the below to ensure we are the right fit for you and your fur baby. *We watch one dog at a time. This is because we want my son to enjoy each and every pup he puppy sits. We want your pup to receive all the love and attention we would want our own pup to receive if we were away. *If you have 2 dogs and one is fairly laid back please message me and to see if we can accommodate your needs. *We don't use kennels unless requested for pets that are already potty-trained *Puppies or dogs not potty trained please bring diapers that have holes for the tails. *Puppies or dogs not potty trained will be kenneled at night if diapers are not available. This is to assist with potty training as it's very important at this age. We have a large crate here we set up for your pup to use. *We do not require a meet and greet if your pup gets along with other animals as we watch one dog at a time and only animals that are friendly with other animals. *We have a pyredoolde born Nov. 2020 who lives inside. He's playful and loves everyone! He is very skittish and submissive to other dogs. The only worry with him is if your dog bullies him he will jump on my lap and he's so big it hurts! lol *WHAT TO BRING Please bring your pup's leash, food bowl, food, and any comfort toys they will need. A brush is great too as we brush our boy every evening and will brush your pup too. - We have learned from previous visits most of the pups arriving prefer to eat and drink out of our dog's food and water bowl. That is fine too! :) *UPDATES I try to text daily updates with a picture usually in the evenings. If it's an extended stay I may do it every other day. Please discuss with me your needs and I'll do my best to accommodate. In short, if your looking for a place your pup can stay and be treated like one of the family we may be the right fit for you. We'll treat your pup just like our own.😊 I work remotely and can easily accommodate most routines. My son goes to an online school and is here to play as soon as he finishes school in the morning. Our yard is fenced in with a vinyl fence. It's almost 1/2 acre. We do let our pup out by himself. If your pup digs under fences or is a Houdini that can climb over a 6ft please let us know. We let your pup stay in the house and roam the same as we do our pup. Also, we do not allow our dog on the furniture. He knows to stay off, but don't make a big deal out of it if your pup is more comfortable while they're with us.

“Holli was great with our pup, Leo! She has great communication and is very caring. We did not have any worries while we were away for the weekend and felt confident that Leo was in good hands!”

About: Hi! I’m Alicia. I’m a second grade teacher and lifelong Fort Wayne resident. I’ve had pets my entire life, but currently have none of my own, so I’m looking forward to babying yours this summer! I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so I’m grateful for the opportunity to offer them a quiet, kid-free, pet-free, low-stress environment to settle into while you’re away. I’m extremely reliable, caring, and patient. Whether your pet needs medication, a consistent routine, or extra time to warm up to someone, I’m happy to adjust to whatever works best for them (and for you). Whether I’m with them for a drop-in or overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Plus, I love to take pictures and document our adventures, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos while you’re away. Feel free to reach out to set up a time to chat or schedule a meet and greet! As a teacher, my summers are especially flexible for drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. When school starts, I’m limited to before and after school drop-ins, but always open to schedule overnight stays at your house or mine especially on weekends! At my house, your pets will be the only pets in the home, so they’ll get all of the attention they deserve! My house is pet-proofed and I’m very committed to ensuring your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for.

“Did very well with our puppy. Took her outside often. Work with her on training. I would definitely recommend her.”

Michael F.

“Highly recommend. Brianna stayed at our place for over a week and took care of everyone (2 large dogs, 2 cats, fish, houseplants, and the garden). She was easy to communicate with, very responsive, and it was such a relief to have her housesit while we were out of the country. I will book with her again in the future!”

About: I've had dogs of all sizes my whole life. From a Yorkie to a 180 pound Saint Bernard! I have taken some basic dog handling care classes and even work in the local shelter with the cats. I'm currently working full time, so I would show up in the morning to check on the animal, during my lunch break if I can, and once I'm off work I would show up as well. Every visit with the animal, I check their eyes, nose, and ears to make sure they aren't getting sick and I also take the morning to care for their food and water needs.

About: I’ve had experience caring for horses, cats, and dogs. I have nursed many cats back to health in my youth on the farm. I have trained my two puppies and am happy to help in any way possible. I do have experience with diabetes and insulin injections. Senior care with blindness, deafness, and senility is something I’ve very familiar with as well. I am a stay at home dog mom of 3 and cat mom of 1 and have an open schedule to help care for your pets too. I am meticulously tidy and respectful of homes. I am honest and trustworthy and treat your home as I treat my own. My goal is to create a comfortable and happy environment while you’re away and for your pets to be as stress free as possible.

“Great communication and adaptability. Very friendly. Very attentive to my dog and keeping us updated. Would definitely hire again.”
