House Sitting in Brookside

“Tena did great with our babies! I was so nervous to leave them behind this trip. She gave them great care and attention and even managed to get one of my more aloof cats to sniff her! She is awesome!”

Toni P.

“Karen was phenomenal. My dog is what I consider “special needs” - older, a rescue AND a pittie breed mix. Karen allowed me to be away for a couple days and be fully at ease; she was great with communicating with me throughout the visit and I am so thankful to her.”

Kelly C.

“Jenni and Matt were wonderful with my two dogs, including an older lab on meds twice a day. I loved getting pictures and updates while I was away and when I got home they were happy to see me but then went back life as usual! Clearly they been well-cared for and didn’t miss me THAT much!”

Elizabeth J.

“Claudia arrived on time and followed all our directions. She was a great relief to me knowing my dog was well cared for. Will definitely use her again when the need arises. Thank again Claudia!”

Yvonne & Joseph K.

“I'm so glad I reached out to Destiny to care for my pup including overnight on Thanksgiving. I think my pup thought she was on vacation having extra walks, treats, attention and company. From beginning to end, everything with Destiny was flawless.”

Nancy L.

“Gracie was responsive, reliable, and a wonderful caregiver! Contentious with attention to detail, she took great care with our furry crew. Plan on booking Gracie again soon.”

“Michaela was fantastic! Sent plenty of photos and updates throughout the stay and we felt so reassured knowing she was taking such good care of our dogs. House was so clean and pups were happy!”

“Kat was amazing. She looked after our dog for a night so we could go away. She kept us up to date with how he was doing and our dog had a great time with her. Would highly recommend and will be using her services again!”

Claire S.

“Savannah was great! She accomodated a last minute request and was very responsive. Sent lots of updates and photos of my dogs while I was away. I’m moving out of the area, but if I was staying I’d definitely rebook her again!”

“Kelsey stayed with my cattle dog, Indy. She sent plenty of updates and pictures! He was in great hands, and I’ll definitely be using Kelsey again since Indy loved her so much!”

Joe M.

“Sara is fantastic! She stayed in our home with our 2 GSPs for 3 nights. They both require a little extra…medications, etc and it was no issue. Sara sent lots of pictures & is great with communication. This was my first overnight away from my girls in 10 months so I was nervous but would absolutely not hesitate to leave them in Sara’s care again!”

Julia B.

“Sarah was great! It was my first time she sat overnight for my cat Katrina, but not the last! Sarah went above and beyond to take care of Katrina providing her with the special feeding instructions and giving her the affection she craved! Sarah also kept in touch morning and evening with photos and updates on anything I needed to know about what Katrina was doing and how Katrina was eating and what was going on with the house. I really appreciate having Sarah as an overnight petsitter for Katrina!”

Thalia P.

“Erin was super flexible with meeting our pets ahead of time, was responsive, dependable and neat. Sent pics and txts. Very appreciative of the last minute fill in on a holiday weekend!”

About: I've taken care of many different types of pets my whole life! I have years of experience with caring for my family dog, as well as my neighbors, friends, and extended family’s cats, dogs, and other pets! I've also personally had a gecko, fish, guinea pigs, and hamsters throughout my life so I am comfortable with all kinds of pets! I am currently a college student on summer break so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! Weekdays and weekends I am usually available any time. I make sure your pets feel comforted and happy during each visit! I will ensure that your pet stays content, safe, and healthy while you are away.

About: Animals are Gods among us. I agree with Ricky Gervais, that "a dog loves you more than it loves itself, and that's why I worship dogs." Honestly, this gig is a bit selfish - my sweet baby Pit Mix passed away recently & I miss her terribly. I'm certain that engaging with animals will soothe this depression. I am socially awkward with humans, but I love animals. This will be therapy, a true gift, to me. I also need to exercise more and would like to be able to afford any kind of home, some day. My family has had pets since I was in kindergarten. I volunteered with Faithful Friends in High School, through which I also fostered kittens. I have taken care of my neighbors' & friends' pets while away over the years, which I equate to a collective total of ~2 years. I take medical issues very seriously & cared for my doll when she was ill. I understand how stressful & important it is. My favorite thing about walking a dog is when the folded tops of their ears bounce up and down. I work full time until ~4:30PM, but I am usually free after. I am available for boarding on the weekends. On the days I work from home (typically Monday & Wednesday), I can also provide a walk or check in during my lunch hour (1 to 2PM). There are no other animals or children in my home; your pet will have my undivided attention. I have a large partially fenced in yard, and many walking trails nearby. I'm also happy to take care of a pet in your home, if preferred.

“Maria is very sweet. Kept us posted with pictures and sweet remarks on my pup. I can tell Mac really liked her, she is going through withdraw now she is not getting all that attention lol.. Thank you Maria!”

About: As a lifelong animal enthusiast with 22 years of comprehensive pet care experience, I have cultivated expertise across multiple species through both personal and professional settings. Beginning at age 12, I assumed primary responsibility for my family's dogs and cats, including daily exercise routines and general care. At 16, I gained valuable professional experience working in a dog kennel facility, where I developed skills in animal handling and care protocols. Throughout my adult life, I have maintained a diverse household of companion animals, currently caring for nine pets including two dogs, two rabbits, two corn snakes, a bearded dragon and three sugar gliders. This extensive hands-on experience has provided me with in-depth knowledge of various species' unique needs, behaviors, and care requirements. My genuine passion for animal welfare drives my commitment to providing exceptional care. I understand that pets are beloved family members, and I am dedicated to treating each animal with the same love, attention, and respect I provide to my own companions." I have full-time availability, so I can offer flexible scheduling, same-day bookings, and personalized attention to ensure your pets receive the care they need and deserve. Your pet's safety is my absolute priority. With professional kennel experience and years of multi-species care, I maintain secure environments, follow all safety protocols, and provide constant supervision. I'm committed to treating your beloved companion with the same vigilance and care I provide my own nine pets daily.

About: I've owned dogs and other pets my entire life. Whether it's going for walks or just making sure a friendly face is helping with day to day tasks, I am here to help. I look to be a new friend for every new fury family member. I am an artist for most of my day, but look to find the right opportunity to take care of special fury families within my area. I do not have a fenced in yard, so would be looking for right opportunities at home or walking services to meet the needs of families looking for pet care.
