Dog Sitting Carmel

“Valerie was amazing with thanos and George! 100% confidence that we would use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dogs. We loved all the pictures of them getting treats and playing and getting lots of love and the message from her each visit telling us about the visit and what they did. We can tell they were in great hands while we were away.”

“Makinsey did great watching my pup after her spay surgery! I was a bit nervous leaving her with someone during her recovery, but Makinsey was so good with her and even got her to take her medicine (which she is really stubborn about).”

About: I grew up with and around dogs, so I'm really comfortable around them no matter their age or personality. I've also dog/house sat for family friends numerous times (sometimes for two weeks or more), so I'm experienced with keeping feeding schedules, medications, and routines consistent while owners are away. I'm also active and love going on walks, so if yours needs extra exercise, that's something I genuinely enjoy providing! I recently finished OT school, so I'm in between that and starting my next job, which means my schedule is wide open right now. I can offer flexible timing throughout the day and give your pet plenty of consistent, unhurried attention. Handing over your house key and your pet isn't a small thing, so I try to be someone you don't have to worry about while you're gone. That means being consistent, sending updates, paying attention to your pet's needs, and treating your home with the same care I'd want for my own!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child. I love dogs and cats alike. I don’t prefer one to the other and have two cats and a dog of my own. I’m just patient with animals and experienced in following the directions of parents. I like your animals to feel their routine is the same as when their owner is home. I am currently working part time from home, so I have a lot of flexibility with my days to come and take care of animals. We have had dogs stay in our home with us. Our animals are extremely accepting of other dogs and we love to host them. I also have no problem providing care in the owners home. I’m here to meet your preference.

About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a Rover Sitter with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, & personalities. My home is best suited for friendly family dogs who enjoy a structured, home-based environment. I currently have dogs & cats of my own, so I’m experienced with multi-pet households & carefully managing introductions, feeding routines, crate time, exercise, & rest periods. What sets me apart is that I treat every stay like a dog is joining our household, not just being watched. I prioritize safety, consistency, & clear communication so both pets & owners feel comfortable throughout their stay. I have experience with puppies, large breeds, crate training routines, shy dogs, & dogs who need a little extra time to settle into a new environment. I provide regular updates, photos, & individualized care while maintaining the structure that helps dogs feel secure away from home. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, calm, & loving home where your dog can relax, play, & be treated like family. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday routine. I currently work two part time jobs while transitioning into a new position, so my schedule is full-time between the two. Beginning in August, I’ll be fully transitioned & back to working part time hours each week, giving me more flexibility. No matter how busy my work schedule is, I plan my day around the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or simply spending quality time with them, I make sure every pet receives the attention, love, & consistency they deserve. I keep my availability up to date & only accept bookings that I know I can provide exceptional care for. Safety & comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. Before each stay, I take time to learn about a pet’s routine, personality, preferences, & any special instructions provided by their owner. When boarding in my home, I use slow, supervised introductions with resident pets & closely monitor interactions to ensure everyone is comfortable. Dogs are never left together unsupervised until I am confident they are a good fit. Crates & separate spaces are available when needed for meals, rest, or decompression. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide fresh water at all times, & follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. My home is pet-friendly, & I take care to keep potentially unsafe items out of reach while providing a clean, secure environment. For drop-in visits & house sitting, I respect my clients’ homes & follow all instructions carefully. I pay close attention to feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, litter box maintenance, & home security. I also provide regular updates & photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, & well cared for while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable & every owner feel at ease.

About: I’ve always had dogs, and have fostered (to adopted) medically high needs dogs, and have experience with bronchial scarring, incontinence, kidney dysfunction, partial blindness, deafness, hip dysplasia, leash reactivity, anxiety, etc. My own dog is a GSD-St Bernard mix so I am well versed in ultra large breeds. I work a full-time remote job with *some flexibility and have a dog of my own. The following schedule has worked beautifully when petsitting before, and can be amended as appropriate: -I will arrive early morning for walking & feeding and will work remotely (I do need reliable wifi and a clean, safe, quiet environment) at your home until lunch -I will do walking and feeding as appropriate and then will go home for the second half of the day to walk & feed my own dog. -I will return around 5 for walking and feeding, etc, and will remain until evening walking and feeding, and then will return to my own home to sleep. -Especially if you have a fenced-in yard, I can additionally let your dog out as many times as needed throughout the day while present between meetings. I typically leave a sat home cleaner than I found it, but please remember that you are paying for a petsitter who (bonus!) cleans, and not a combination cleaning/petsitting service. (If I don’t dust above your ceiling fan blades, please have some grace.) I will water your plants and take in your garbage and so forth, but note that excessive additional task requests will result in an increase in rate. (I have been asked to do heavy duty pool maintenance before and that is simply not my area of expertise.) I am a responsible and reliable adult. I will not bring third parties into your home, nor will I disturb your neighbors. (On the contrary, I’ve made friends with some sitting neighbors. I’m a pleasant person who likes to chat, what can I say!) I will mostly be working or reading on your porch or couch when not interacting with animals. I’m a working professional adult making use of extra time to save money: I’ll make things easy, respectful, and pleasant for you, and I hope you’ll do the same for me! I do expect that you alert me to any abnormal needs of your animal or home. (Does your home alarm randomly go off? Does your animal have daily gastrointestinal distress? Please tell me. This will help everyone.) I will send you pictures of your pets as much as you want (within reason, let’s keep in mind I will also be working), but will limit to once a day unless additional photos are requested, in order to preserve your peace during your time away. I am fine with additional animal maintenance tasks (for example, do you live on a lake and your dog loves to go for muddy swims and needs a hose-off or a bath, or perhaps needs an inhaler) but again, please note that these can affect rate depending on time and labor expectation, so please communicate in advance. Additional animals beyond two cats or one dog will result in raised rates. Thank you!

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats for most of my life, and truly got to experience full ownership in my early twenties. I have learned so much about and from these loving furry friends from raising 3 litters of puppies to training and loving my own pups to caring for my friends’ fur babies. I have experience with elderly furry pups, along with administering medication both in pill form and topicals. For the past 15+ years, I’ve been the proud dog mom to my red Min Pin. I also had the pleasure of raising my cat from a kitten during Covid until he proudly became my parent’s ES animal. I taken a great deal of care with my dog’s diet, health, and well being as his aged into an elderly yet spry dog. He’s had an injury to his heel prior to us meeting, but I was able to care for him and understand what the best plan would be to ensure he lives a normal, crazy, uninterrupted, fun, full Min Pin life. I want to be able to provide the same love, care, and understanding for your fur baby. They are what keeps us happy and loved humans :) I, primarily, prefer to care for smaller animals, since I’ve been a dog mom to Corgi mixes and Min Pin breeds. I currently have an open schedule which will give me ample time to care for, play, and provide companionships and care to your fur baby while you’re away. I have a comfortable and pet friendly environment where it’s a quiet, peaceful, and easy walk. I have a deck for pups who enjoy some sun and fresh air and a cat tree to entertain any possible kitty cat visitors.

“Susan did an awesome job checking in on my kitty Serenity! She went out of her way to get in a meet and greet before my last minute trip and my cat was pretty much instantly comfortable with her. I would definitely choose Susan again and recommend her to anyone looking for great pet care!”

Most of my pets have been rescues. I am a volunteer for the Hamilton County Humane Society where I help with cat socializing, cattery cleaning, and the Pet Smart adoption hub.

Pets will be closely attended and supervised for all activities during my visits.

“Courtney was wonderful during her time with our two dogs! It gave us so much relief knowing they were being so well taken care of while we were gone!”

“Beverly was great with my dog. She was available on pretty short notice to come over for a meet and greet and do one daily visit with our pup while my husband and I visited family out of town. She was consistently prompt in our correspondence and made the entire experience easy and comfortable for both me and my pup. Would definitely recommend her to anyone! ”
