House Sitting in Butler

About: I have watched cats and dogs since I was a child for family, friends and neighbors. I enjoy watching their personalities when they are excited I am currently doing an online course and have plenty of time to play with your animal babies. I can spend time with your babies as needed I would come in a take them for walks feed and play with them if needed. Give them lots of of love and treats when needed

About: I have had dogs my entire life. My dogs have been and always will be members of the family. We currently do not have a dog as our 14 year old lab passed away from a stroke last year. We do allow dogs on furniture and we do take excursions to the park in good weather. This can be your dogs home away from home. I am retired and am home unless I am traveling. We have a fenced in property with woods and a creek that your dog can enjoy on walks unless you prefer they just stay in the main yard. When your dog is here so am I to ensure your dog is well cared for. I have a single family home with a fenced yard. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed. I enjoy excursions to the park with my dog for walks and relaxing. Children are grown and gone so it's just a couple who enjoy dogs. We have a senior Labrador who is very friendly, has all vaccinations and has free roam of the house. I am also available to sit for your dog in your home if you prefer. I follow any instructions for your dog you want me to, including administering medications.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive knowledge of animal behavior, my commitment to personalized care, and my ability to handle various pet needs, including administering medications and managing special diets. Additionally, I prioritize communication with pet owners to ensure peace of mind while they are away. Pet care fits into my daily routine by incorporating regular feeding, exercise, and playtime for pets. Weekly, I ensure maintaining open communication with pet owners about their pets' well-being. I have multiple references that can assure you your dog will be in the best hands when you chose to take a vacation or whatever it might be.

“Heather house- and dog-sat for us over the weekend as our first experience with Rover and it went great. We were updated with photos of our dogs once she arrived (we had already left) and she was very responsive all along the way. It couldn't have gone any better.”

“Karen did a wonderful job sitting for our geriatric greyhound in our home! Very reliable and put our minds at ease with regular updates and pictures. Would highly recommend!”

About: I've taken care of 3 golden retrievers, for decades. I have a dog ramp, dog treats, leashes, toys, and like our furry friends to have a very comfortable and fun time. I've taught dogs to hold food on their nose, roll over, play hide and seek. It's been fun. My schedule is quite flexible. Willing to consider anything. I am a musician and as such have open day hours most of the time. Walking dogs, checking on them, letting them out, taking them to the vet, playing with them, it's all good. I have a basement which is uncarpetted and warm, a very big yard with very minimal traffic , a local park, and 2-4 housemates who all like and own dogs.

About: i have taken care of pets since i was 12.

About: Hello, I've had the joy of having dogs and cats my entire life. I've taken care of dogs of all size, from Yorkies to Rottweilers. Currently my fur babies are Koda, an Australian Kelpie mix, Maple, a GSD puppy, and Pebbles, queen of the house calico. I'm looking forward to caring for your furr babies and keeping them happy and healthy by providing drop-in visits or going for fun walks. My days and weeks are usually flexible, even on short notice. I am also normally available during holidays. Drop in visits can be up to 30 minutes, and walks can be 20, 30 or 60. It takes special humans to welcome pets into their homes, and they become members of your family. And as such, you can count on me to treat your babies as I would my own.

“Wonderful to work with. Sent lots of updates and photos! Very quick to reply and not afraid to ask questions when needed. Will certainly work with Lainey again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 14. Family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and take care of their pets for short or long trips. I prefer to spend time with the animals I am taking care of, as I think the more time you spend with and love you give to them the more comfortable they are. I value time with animals greatly; they have been a huge part of my life, and always will be. I find much fulfillment and joy in spending quality time with the animals I can take care of. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday 8-4:30. I would be available evenings after 5, and anytime on the weekends. I am available to stay the night if needed. I would prefer to have your pets out in free range with me while I am there. I would like to spend as much time walking or being outside, or at least playing inside, or maybe all he/she will need is a good belly rub and some comfortable relaxing with someone.

About: Having pets for all these years I understand how important these family members are. It always seemed that their comfort and happiness was as important aa anybody else’s in the family. Pets have always been a big part of our family Having retired from industry makes me able and willing to spend time showing attention in a safe and willing schedule. I understand the value a pet brings to a family Knowing what is safe for dogs and cats is something I have studied. I also believe it is very important to keep a pet leashed where danger is evident

About: I am an experience animal care taker after 30 years on a farm. We always had cats and dogs, in addition to cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, etc.. I am an avid pet lover. I have 4 fur babies and all are my therapy - a part of my family. We also have 4 cats. I completely understand that they are not just animals and more often then not are more important then the humans in our lives. Love, care, nurturing, compassion, and well being is important for all involved in the care of our pets. I look forward to offering my services to you and helping ease your mind that the care of your animals will be the best. I am an elected Township Clerk and my availability is flexible. Your furbaby will fit right and be treated as my own. They are my focus and my life. I look forward to yours being an addition to our daily lives as you need me. I have a fenced yard with shade. My dogs love the area. I love animals of all shapes and sizes. My dogs are my personal therapy so I respect yours as the same.

About: I have had dogs and other small animals since childhood. I also have a background in emergency medicine that can come in handy. I’m also currently working from home and have an extremely flexible schedule I work part time from home or can take my work with me. Making it easy to walk dogs and spend time with them throughout the day. I usually get in 3-5 miles daily. Making it easy to get dogs exercised. I have a fenced yard with one dog who is an incredible “host”. Not minding company. I also have the ability to rotate animals safely inside and out of the home if they are not happy together.

About: I was born into a family of pet lovers. We have had a wide array of pets in our home-cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish and more. I have become my church and friends' go-to pet sitter for years. I not only provide the love and care that pets need, I am also a licensed pet massage therapist, so your pet will get extra love! I am self-employed, so my schedule varies and is very open for providing top notch pet care. My day is better when I am able to provide love and care for animals! I provide pet care in your home and am able to work with your pet(s) specific needs and schedules. I want them to feel as unaffected by your absence as possible!

About: I’ve had first hand experience in training and taking care of one client’s dog from daily walks and bathing and grooming. I absolutely love dogs and want to expand more! I’m currently working part time. I am also a single mom. I’m available on Mondays during school hours, during the week in the afternoon/evening as well as the weekends. I will provide safe environment for your dog! There is also a dog park nearby. So you can count on daily walks or runs! Any selfies we take will be sent to you! :D

About: I’ve always been a dog person. I’m the type who will immediately say hi to a dog on the street and completely forget to greet their human. I’ve cared for my own dogs through all stages of life, including supporting two through severe illness and disability, as well as taking in a senior dog with special needs who required extra help with daily care. That experience taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how important it is to meet each dog where they are. These days, the thing I miss most about having a dog at home is the simple joy of throwing on a leash and exploring the neighborhood together. I’d love to be that person for your dog, whether that means a fun walk, extra attention, or just keeping them company. I have a very open and flexible schedule right now, which means I’m able to accommodate a variety of care needs throughout the day. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, evenings, or overnight care, I’m happy to work with your schedule. I provide care in your home through drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone, especially when they have specific routines or needs. I’m very detail-oriented when it comes to feeding instructions and daily care, and I’m happy to follow even the most detailed directions exactly as given. I have experience administering medications and am comfortable finding whatever method works best for your pet (including the classic “hide it in a treat” approach). Safety is always a top priority. Dogs are always kept on leash during walks, and I’m extremely mindful with doors, gates, and any potential escape routes. I have an escape artist of my own at home, so I understand how important that extra level of awareness is. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment while still making sure your pet gets plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. Whether they’re energetic or more laid-back, I’m happy to match their pace. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away (and yes, I tend to send a lot!).

“Reese took exceptionally good care of our dog and house while we were on vacation this summer. When our travel schedule was altered last minute, Reese was very flexible and accommodating. While she was here she gave Cosworth his meds without any problems or complaints. And most importantly, Cosworth liked her! Reese is very conscientious and takes her Rover assignments seriously. We recommend Reese without reservation, and hope she’ll come back to take care of Cosworth for us again.”

About: I’ve dealt with all sorts of dogs but and small ranging between chihuahuas to Great Danes. Another plus is for the past year I’ve been a dog groomer so my range of dogs is very high, I’ve had all ages of dogs. I’m currently wanting to make this my full time job and am available pretty much anytime right now! I love dog and cat and would love to take care of all different kinds. I have 2 dogs a toy poodle and a pitbull mix they are both very friendly and great with new dogs and love to play. They would be amazing to keep your dog company.

“Brittany bonded with my pups. They had a great time playing together and getting to know her. She was kind, gentle and patient with them. It was a great first experience. We hope one of many more.”
