House Sitting Calallen

About: I have cared for animals for most of my life and currently have 4 fur babies, 2 cats and 2 dogs. Rest assured I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own. I have experience with animals of all ages, and with diabetes care (for my Yorkie). I understand that every animal has their own personality and getting to know them is important to their care/quality of life. My goal is to get to know your dog(s) and/or cat(s) so that my visits are like play dates with a pal. I look forward to becoming friends with your furry family members! Please contact me today! My schedule is currently flexible which allows me to ensure proper quality time with your furry family members. I am in the process of building my client base with Rover and as such willing to work with you and your family’s scheduling needs. A brief meet & greet is necessary before the date/time of service for all new clientele, especially if you are going to be away from home during the scheduled date/time of services. My goal is to ensure your fur babies know and trust me when I arrive, most importantly you can be certain that I am the right fit for your needs. Please contact me to schedule your free meet & greet today!

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and helping take care of them. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to make them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more shy and laid back, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need. I currently work from 4am–1pm, which gives me availability in the afternoons, evenings, and on varying days off throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care after work and on weekends. I’m reliable, flexible when possible, and committed to making sure pets get plenty of attention, care, and exercise. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently have a spoiled 2-year-old Golden Retriever, so I understand how important routines, attention, and patience are. I follow care instructions closely, keep communication open, and can provide regular updates and photos during visits or walks.

“Audrey was GREAT!! She kept us informed every day of how our babies were doing. Even sent pictures of them. We already have her booked for the rest of our trips this summer!”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets and I love what I do. Meeting new animals and being able to give a sense of peace to the owners while they are away is fulfilling. I like helping anyway that I can. I work at a Vet clinic so I see animals every day already so spending time with more animals is an added bonus. I work at a veterinary clinic full time. I work 10 hour shifts 4 times a week. Always off on Sundays. Rotate shifts on Saturdays. As long as you’re comfortable with my hours then I’ll make the pet sitting experience fun and enjoyable. I slowly approach the animals that are new to me to give them time to get used to me before they meet me. I like to gain a bonding experience by either going out for a walk with them or playing with a favorite toy of theirs to gain respect.

About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, dogs, cats, birds, turtles, etc! I’m a huge believer that they’re like family! I had a dog of my own for most of my life that was blind and diabetic, so I’m familiar with taking care of dogs of old age and medical care. I currently work as a flight attendant as well so my schedule varies week to week! I typically have spans on days on/off that make it easy for me to take care of your pets for several days! I live in an apartment that has sidewalks and grass all around, it’s a pet friendly complex:) I have no other pets or children that affect the environment. I’m also nearby a jogging trail that I love to take pets on for walks!

“Just moved to the area for work and Arden was our hero when we needed someone for nine days! She took such incredible care of our pup and made us feel completely safe with me being new to this area and not knowing anyone. We came back from our trip to a happy puppy who played and was well loved during our time away. She will be our go to at all times! Mieka was crazy about her ❤️”

“Megan kept our boy, Goose, company while we were out of town overnight. We definitely felt as ease as she sent frequent updates and a lot of photos. I am happy to know Goose made a new friend!”

“Jacqueline did a great job caring for our animals! Very attentive and followed our instructions !”

“This was my first time using Lillian. She was on time for our Meet and Greet, sent daily pictures of my fur babies and via these pics I could clearly see they were comfortable in her care. She promptly texted me about concerns and left the house neat and tidy. The house needed to be swept/swiffered given the house bunny is in a shed cycle but perhaps I didn’t make that expectation clear.”

Kristin M.

“Tisha kept in contact with us during our trip. She followed all our directions. Our babies were well cared for and she left everything in order at home!”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely understand how important pets are to their families because I’m a pet parent myself. I currently care for two dogs of my own—Apollo, a 4-year-old Siberian Husky, and Milo, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu—which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I will adapt to their needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet owners informed through regular updates and photos. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I strive to provide peace of mind by treating every pet as if they were my own. My experience with both a high-energy Husky and a small companion breed has taught me the importance of exercise, consistency, supervision, and positive interactions. Above all, I provide a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Right now, pet care fits into my schedule primarily on weekends. I am starting with weekend availability so I can dedicate my full attention and energy to each pet I care for without conflicting weekday commitments. This allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, or overnight care while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and supervision. On weekends, I have the flexibility to plan my time around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific routines each pet needs. I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away. As I grow on Rover, I plan to gradually expand my availability into weekdays as well. My goal is to eventually offer more flexible scheduling while still maintaining the same level of care, communication, and dependability that I provide on weekends. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I make sure to follow all instructions exactly as provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any house rules to keep the pet’s environment consistent and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure doors are properly closed and locked, pets are always supervised during visits, and I stay attentive to anything that could affect their safety or comfort. I focus on building trust with each pet by being patient, gentle, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I also keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and notes so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just as they would with their own family.

“Followed my instructions and showed great communication and updates! I could tell my pets were relaxed and taken care of when I came home!! I will definitely hire Karen again!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and several years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every fur baby like my own. I’m comfortable adapting to the care your pet needs and the routine you prefer. I understand it can be stressful to be away from your babies, and some may need a little extra love. As a pet owner myself, I want you to feel confident, secure, and worry-free knowing your loved one is well cared for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize pet care throughout my day. I’m able to plan my routine around your pet’s needs and provide consistent attention. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I provide a calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and crates available if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.

“An absolutely wonderful lady that has amazing communication, will definitely be booking with her again. She is kind and patient with the animals and I couldn’t be happier with her service.”

About: I’ve had lots dogs growing up 5 at one time and worked on a farm with many animals and a pack of dogs I have a working dog myself currently that I love and take care of. I play college beach volleyball I usually train early in the morning but am available whenever I have a very flexible schedule to be needed whenever. I have a working dog and then a sweet pit mix I walk them daily and run my working dog on the regular 3 miles or more. I’ll play with them outside and give pets and cuddles. As well as I have my own cat Rio who I love and adore and make sure he gets attention as well

About: My family has always had pets. Growing up, we had dogs of every kind and size. As an adult, we have had several pets, but currently have one husky named Luna and one cat named Darcy Binks! They are well loved. Let us bring our care and affection to your sweet pets! I'm a homemaker mom of six babies, one dog, one cat, and 8 kittens. My kiddos will all be in school and out of the house, so, I'm wide open on scheduling. We have a fenced in yard and a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks for easy walking. We can play with your pets after feeding and watering. After the last visit of the day, we will clean and dispose of any droppings in the yard, so you can come home to a clean start!

About: I have over 8 years of training and care giving experience in over 20 different species of animals ranging from livestock to dolphins. My life has always involved animals. Growing up we had at one point 20 pets (chickens to an iguana). I continued and expanded my animal experience when I decided to pursue a Bachelors degree in Animal Science from Texas A&M-Kingsville. Equipped with my formal education, I started a career at the Texas State Aquarium where I learned how to train an array of species using operant conditioning focusing on obtaining desired behaviors through positive reinforcement. When I left the aquarium I branched out to the veterinarian side of the industry. Finally, I made it back to training and decided to focus on dogs because they are such an integrated aspect of our day to day lives. Now, after a years of calling South Texas home, I was delivered to the island of Oahu. I currently work as a marine observer, taking my love for animals to the ocean. I collect data for conservation and mitigation. When I’m not out at sea, I want bring love and fun into your pets life. Being around God’s gentle creatures is truly where my heart sings!!! I understand that our pets are not just an animal that lives with us but they are family! Their well-being is a priority. Consistent exercise and compassionate caregiving will create a happy, healthy pet! LET ME ADD TO YOUR HOME-LIFE OF HAPPINESS! ❤️ I will assist you in caring for your pets from exercise to training (using positive reinforcement), grooming, and/or pet sitting! I have a very unique and adventurous job that takes me off land for 14-28 days at a time. I’m a marine observer. But when I am in between voyages, I am completely free to live life anyway. I am able to accommodate nearly any schedule. My services are ideal for pet owners that need someone for a day or a few weeks at a time. I consider caring for your pet a premium service and you both deserve premium actions. With this in mind, you and your pets comfort are number one priority. If you decide that a hike is something that is good, hiking we will go. But if your pet requires different, lower activity needs, a relaxing walk in the neighborhood is in call. I can also offer obedience training for you pet.

About: I have experience with pets of all ages—from high-energy puppies who need structure and patience, to senior pets who require extra love, medication, and slow, gentle care. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical meds, handling special diets, and following detailed care routines. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine—whether it’s early morning feedings, afternoon walks, evening cuddles, or keeping detailed checklists for pets with special needs. I structure my schedule around the animals in my care, not the other way around. Your pet’s routine becomes my routine. Basically: I’m the sitter who cares about the little stuff and the big stuff—and your pets can tell the difference. When I care for pets in their own home, I respect their space and their routine. I follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medication to favorite toys and walking routes. I keep everything tidy, send regular updates and photos, and make sure your pet feels safe in their familiar environment. My goal is always to make your absence as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet.
