House Sitting Broaddus

About: 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐌𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐲 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 Hi, I'm Kiley! I am a former communications officer with the Fredericksburg Police Department who turned a lifelong passion into opening my own home bakery, The Giving Treat. My entire pet care focus is dedicated to providing premium, attentive care exactly where your pets are most comfortable: right in their own home. Whether it's an energetic neighborhood walk, a midday drop-in, or overnight house sitting, I bring a high level of professionalism, reliability, and detail-oriented care to your pet's familiar routine. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐞? I believe pet care should be a stress-free, premium experience for both you and your furry family members. When you book with me, you aren’t just getting someone to check a box, you’re getting a dedicated caretaker who treats your home and pets with the utmost respect. 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 *𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞*: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑼𝒑𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔: You will receive frequent, bright, high-quality photo updates during our time together so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. 𝑨 𝑭𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒈𝒆 𝑲𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒔𝒂𝒌𝒆: At the end of my time with your pet, I print out one of our best photos, turn it into a custom magnet, and leave it on your fridge as a permanent keepsake. 𝑨 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌-𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑻𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕: Along with a handwritten wrap-up note, I always leave a complimentary fresh-baked treat from my bakery for you to enjoy when you get home! 𝐌𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒆𝒅 𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 & 𝑺𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒐𝒓 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒆: Leaving a senior or medically fragile pet can be incredibly stressful, but your furry family member is in safe, experienced hands with me. I am highly comfortable administering medications, managing strict veterinary schedules, and navigating specialized care. My personal and professional experience includes managing **feline diabetes**, tracking **strict prescription urinary diets**, and caring for sweet cats with **Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH)**. 𝑪𝒂𝒕𝒔 𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆: As a dedicated cat parent to four rescues of my own, I speak "fluent feline." I understand how to read cat body language, handle complex weight-management schedules, and give them the exact space, pacing, or affection they need on their own terms. 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝑫𝒐𝒈 𝑾𝒂𝒍𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈: I have years of experience walking dogs of various sizes and energy levels, keeping them safe, engaged, and thoroughly exercised.

Your keys, codes, and home are entirely safe in my hands. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a Meet & Greet. I operate a small cottage bakery full-time, which gives me excellent flexibility throughout the week! My primary baking days are Thursdays and Fridays. Outside of those specific baking windows, my schedule is completely open and flexible for midday walks, drop-in visits, and plenty of focused attention for your pets on weekends and early-to-mid-week days. Because I run an active home kitchen, I provide care exclusively in your pet's familiar, comfortable home environment. My background in local law enforcement communications means I prioritize home security, strict adherence to instruction, and safety above all else. Your keys, home access codes, and pet safety are handled with the highest level of professional responsibility. I treat your space with complete respect while ensuring your pets remain safe, happy, and relaxed.

About: I’ve had plenty of dogs my entire life as well as taken care of friends and families dogs. Overnight, check ins or walking. I love walking dogs especially and playing with all animals. I will provide a safe, caring, and loving environment for your pets so you’re worry free while away from them! Currently between jobs and am a full time online college student. So I am pretty flexible!! If something doesn’t work i’ll just make that clear but I do not have many scheduled things in my day to day. I don’t mind doing feeding, walking, play time! Also don’t mind light clean up if they make a mess while you are gone. My dogs are kind of crazy so I understand messes happen! My dogs have an open back yard but if your dog is trained to walk I will be happy to take them out that way. My dogs get plenty of play time mainly with each other but i’ve done plenty of play time with them myself and can incorporate that with you dogs if they require play time! I also have dealt with older and sick dogs so I know how to be gentle and handle that. I have also had my own cat and watched others, I adore cats. Mine was sick for a while so i’m familiar with oral medication for cats and soothing cats’ anxieties as mine suffered heavily from unknown anxiety.

“Elizabeth did an awesome job caring for Stripe! She gave him lots of love and affection. She gave him his meds on time and a pup cup as a treat. Thank you, Elizabeth!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have cared for them when they have been at there very best and worst and given them the most love. I’m currently a senior in high school but I only go for a couple hours a day. I also work part time at before and after care. I’m mostly looking for times to fill in during my free time, including during break and over the summer. I will make sure that everything thing is safe in the area for that pet. And they have everything they need during my time with them.

“Ashleigh was such a good pet sitter! She took car of my dog, Molly and my iguana, Fernando for the holidays and because she’s a vet tech I knew if anything went wrong she would be able to help my babies. She was punctual and sent pictures every time she was at my house which I loved because we worry about them when we’re gone. Her prices are amazing and we recommend her for all your pet sitting needs! We will definitely be using her again, thank you for taking such good care of them!”

Gabrielle M.

“She was very accommodating and helpful. Dogs were at ease with her and weren't stressed when I got home. Would book again. Definitely recommend.”

Terri L.

“We have had Randi stay with our dogs multiple times and will continue to do so as long as she’ll keep coming back! We always rest easy knowing they are well taken care of. Thank you, Randi!”

About: Since I was young I've been a fan of animals, my family has owed several, And its been my joy to take care and nurture them. Ive been taking care of pets for a long time and in that I've learned alot about how to care for, treat, and love lots of different kinds of animals, Dogs especially but I am not a stranger to the feline kind, I am experienced with small and larger dogs, as well as dogs with more nervous or flights temperaments. If you choose me to take care of your furry companion I will do everything to make sure they are happy, healthy, and safe in my care. I hope to hear from you soon :) I am currently privileged to have an abundance of free time this means I am available to handle more lengthy stays or more involved care. I am very detailed oriented and a stickler for routine, if you have a pet that need specific or very exact care I am more than capable of doing things right, even for pets that need less specialization I am more than able to give your pet what they need in any environment.

“Rochelle absolutely exceeded all my expectations. I received so many lovely updates while I was away, and she communicated with me about everything. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit uncertain, but it was such a wonderful experience. We will most definitely be working with Rochelle again, and I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hi! My name is Ali I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter with 4 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats in their own homes. I know how important it is to keep your pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine while you’re away. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, medication (if needed and instructions are provided), and lots of love and attention. I also treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, bringing in mail or packages, watering plants if needed, and leaving everything just as you left it. I’m currently a radiology student, so I’ll be away for a good portion of the day on weekdays. Because of this, I’m the best fit for pets that are comfortable being alone for several hours during the day. When I’m home, I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I understand that trusting someone with both your pets and your home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can enjoy your time away knowing everything is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a radiology student, my schedule varies throughout the year depending on classes and clinicals. I’ll always communicate my availability well in advance, so you’ll know exactly when I’ll be away. I believe in being transparent and reliable, and I’ll only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, confident, and well cared for while you’re away. When I’m caring for your pets in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any other special care your pet requires. I love spending quality time with pets, whether that means going on walks, playing with their favorite toys, or simply relaxing with them and giving them lots of attention. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I’ll keep your home clean and tidy, bring in mail or packages, water plants if requested, and make sure everything is secure. If you’re booking me for overnight care, I’ll stay in your home so your pets can remain in a familiar environment and have companionship throughout the evening and overnight. I’ll also send regular photo and text updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

(Mad props to her since I’m a crazy dog mom and missed them everyday!) she also gave them their allergy medicine which was incredibly helpful!”

Kaitlin J.

“Gabriel did a great job taking care of our dog, Lexi. He was responsible, attentive, and made sure to meet her specific needs. We could tell she was well cared for while we were away, and that gave us real peace of mind. Highly recommend Gabriel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I have taken care of dogs before and I’m currently a owner my self, I will love to take care of other dogs my self. I am currently working doing delivery on Instacart, and I have plenty of time to take care of dogs and walk them and take them to the dog park. I have a very good boy, and there’s a big dog park that can take your baby to have the best time ever, and if it is needed I can crate ur baby

“Melissa was absolutely exceptional with our two senior dogs and puppy — we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was remarkably polite and communicative, keeping us updated throughout with thoughtful messages and plenty of photos so we always felt connected to our pets. She took outstanding care of both our animals and our home, and we were genuinely touched to return to a house that was in even better shape than we’d left it. That kind of initiative and attention to detail is rare and truly appreciated. What stood out most was how she handled an unexpected situation when our puppy fell ill during the stay. Without hesitation, Melissa took her to the emergency vet and stayed by her side until we returned home. Her calm, compassionate response made all the difference — our puppy recovered quickly and is doing wonderfully. Melissa has earned our complete trust and will be our absolute first call every time we need a pet sitter. We recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind — from playful puppies to gentle seniors, and everything in between. I am the go to dog sitter for all my family and friends! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home most of the time and able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I treat every pet like part of the family! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I provide dependable care and regular updates!

About: I’ve grown up my whole life around dogs. Growing up I had 5 dogs and love dogs. Have experience with puppies and older dogs, even having to pick them up to care for them. I currently work part time on weekends and can stay all day and overnight depending on the situation. Will walk the dog however much is needed and am great at mixing up meals. If you would like them to stay with me, I have an apartment and live alone with a pet friendly apartment complex. Or I can stay with them and listen to your instructions

“Benson had an absolutely wonderful time with Helena!! Helena is so conscientious- twice daily updates with pictures! The house is immaculate when we return - highly recommend Helena!!!”
