House Sitting Catatonk

“Dogs were not stressed out and nervous, and that tells me everything I need to know about Beth!!”

“Claudia was AMAZING with our two large dogs! She sent photos frequently, was in touch enough regularly, and we came home to calm, relaxed dogs and a spotless house. She also went the extra mile and filled our bird feeders. We would have her back any time!”

About: Aside from my own pets over the years, I’ve also provided care and comfort to pets of family and friends. Whether in my home or yours, I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I know how hard it is to find a safe place for our fur babies when we have to travel. Our pittie mutt, Hank, can’t wait to meet your pups! I recently retired after 36 years of teaching and have lots of free time to care for your fur babies. We have a large fenced in deck (and pool for our swimmers). Our 12 acres are not fenced but are cleared for easy walks, on or off lead as desired. Our home sits well off the main road. We’re not opposed to taking pups for rides in our side by side. House trained dogs have freedom in our home. We’re suckers who allow pets on furniture and provide all the love and cuddles needed to make them comfortable. We have plenty of room for crates if your pup is more comfortable in one. In your home, I will follow your house rules. Depending on location, I can come and visit or stay overnight. I can bring mail and packages in for you and take care of your plants. 🪴

“Jaime house sat for me and was great with my dog, cats, and chickens! He really cared about our animals while we were on a longer trip, gave frequent updates and pictures. I look forward to having a chance to book him again! I would definitely recommend Jaime for your pet needs!”

“Colleen was fantastic to work with. She was flexible and took great care of Lucus. He was always happy and wagging in photos she sent.”

About: Fun fact: I began dog walking/sitting at just the age of 15 in Los Angeles, where I’m originally from. The old school way: pinning flyers around my neighborhood. My first client: a Great Dane as big as me. We soon became best friends. I am attentive and adapt easily to all sorts of pets — I know when it’s time to play, time to eat, and time to mellow out. I ensure all fur babies never feel like they are alone ~ In some way, we exchange. Whether it be through conversation, music, toy time, cuddles, and more. One of my proudest moments: An extremely shy black cat who rarely allows to be touched, laid on my tummy and napped for a couple of hours, at the third sitting call. I’m currently transitioning jobs (completely remote) and have ample free time to tap into all of my side gigs. Essentially, I am super flexible at this point in time. I, naturally, am active and will take long walks daily - and I’m sure your dog does too! If your dog enjoys running, we can do that together as well! As for cats, I love cuddles and purrs - my touch is soft, and I know cat play. I am naturally very observant and detail-oriented - meaning I will adapt according to your fur baby’s comfort level, preferences, and passions. Should your pet require a smaller, enclosed space, I will pick up on that! I am attentive to needs and ensuring water is filled up, and bellies are full when the time comes. I am also aware of keeping things out of reach when I am not around.

“We highly recommend Delilaha, her communication was amazing. She sent photos, updates and was there exactly when she said she was going to be. The girls felt comfortable with her and relaxed when we arrived home, which is such a good sign for our rescue dogs. We will definitely use her in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m a college student home for the summer and a lifelong dog lover. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to provide updates for peace of mind. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I prioritize regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship to help pets feel comfortable and maintain their routine while their owners are away. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, including pets recovering from medical procedures.

About: Large dominant dog experience. Drop in visits and walks during the week available at this time. New puppies to seniors and special needs that need some love. Early morning and late day drop ins and walks. I work mid shift with flexible hours. Looking to help with short potty breaks before pet parents can get home from out of town. We use crates but understand it's not necessary for all dogs at home. I need to know the client's local veterinarian in case of emergency and if the dogs know basic obedience when coming to your home.

About: I’m a professional service dog trainer with over five and a half years of experience. Before I started training, I worked in the kennels, providing basic medical care, cleaning, and other care to over 100 dogs at a time. I have taught puppy classes to volunteer puppy raisers, and would be happy to assist with care for dogs of all ages. Additionally, I’m an experienced cat shelter volunteer, and have grown up with dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. I know that your pet is a valued member of your family. I’d like to provide experienced, compassionate care that you can rely on. I am currently very flexible! I would be happy to work around your schedule to make sure that your pet is happy and well cared for at any time of day. Safety is my paramount concern in providing care for your pet. I have training in dog first aid and CPR, and keep my clients’ emergency numbers stored within easy reach.

“Katherine was an outstanding sitter. Great communication, friendly, flexible and easy to work with. Our pets loved her and we look forward to working with her in the future. Could not recommend her enough!”

About: I have enjoyed dog walking/sitting for the past 12 years. I started in high school and instantly fell in love with it. I enjoy daily walks myself, but they are always more fun with a walking buddy I am in school and working part time. My schedule is open most afternoons and weekends. Since my schooling is fully online I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I have a big yard that is perfect for letting dogs run around and a middle-aged cat who loves making new friends, though he is perfectly happy to sleep in a dark corner if the friends are not so friendly.

About: I truly love animals and treat every pet like part of the family. I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter and have cared for dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, reptiles, bunnies, and pets that require medication. Since I work remotely, I’m able to give your pet lots of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’ll send you as many pics as you’d like :) Since I work remotely, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Walks are already a regular part of my schedule, and I’m available throughout the day for feeding, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions. Whether they’re in my home or theirs, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, with plenty of attention and updates for their owner!

About: For nearly 20years I’ve been caring for animals of all types. I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Reptiles, and just about everything in between. Family, Friends, Neighbors, Co-Workers and Clients have relied on me to care for their furry family members & I’ve had furry family members of my own my whole life. I have worked with all ages and sizes, and am comfortable with pets with disabilities or medical needs. For the past 16years I’ve cared for people with disabilities as a Direct Support Professional. I am currently doing that as a part-time night shift, so I am available most days and eves, during the week and on weekends! I have loved many forms of my own pets and understand the importance of safety and trust that comes with caring for another’s loved one. I currently plan to do pet walking, play dates, and sitting in your home. May consider overnight stays. May consider boarding on case by case basis. Always open for requests, and again, will consider on a case by case basis.

“Ray did an amazing job with our two very quirky furry family members. She put both of them at ease, and they weren’t at all stressed when we got home. In fact, they miss her now that we’re back!”

“Brooklin was wonderful. She stayed with both of my dogs for four days and did an excellent job. The house was kept as it was left, the dogs were happy the whole time. While she was there my cleaning lady came and specifically texted me that she was so polite and caring and wonderful with the animals. I will be using her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a young age. I love going on long walks. I have fenced yard with a lot of room to roam. During my free time, I don’t mind spending days full of cuddles in the house watching movies with my furry companions. There will be endless attention given to my furry companions. I work during the day part time. I live 5 mins away from work so I am always close bye to care for the furry one when needed. I have a fenced yard. As well as a a screen door in the front of the house. I’ll never pet your pets in an unsafe situation and will always confirm with the pets owner before anything!

About: While you're away, rest assured that your dog and home are in excellent hands... I take care of both. You'll receive photos and updates, and your pet will enjoy walks, fresh water, meals, belly rubs, playtime, and more. No stress for you, and no stress for your furry friend, who will continue their routine as usual. I would love to meet you and your dog, get to know their environment, and see if we're a good fit. I have lifelong experience with dogs, including my 16-year companion, Jack, now gone, always in my heart... I understand the importance of peace of mind when traveling, knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. A happy pup means a happy owner, and peace of mind is priceless. I primarily work from home... I create my schedule based on needs and have flexibility throughout the day... it is a no-brainer to do this. I only provide drop-in visits and house sits... for your convenience and that of your dog or cat. Peace of mind for you, and your fur baby.

“David was wonderful with our anxious dog while we were away at a wedding. So good in fact that she appeared to lose her anxiety issues all together. He is clearly very experienced with animals and they are very receptive to him. He knew exactly how to work with her to lower her anxiety levels throughout a long stay. We are so grateful to have found someone like him for our dog!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and have grown up in Ann Arbor, Michigan (go blue😉)! I’ve trained all my families dogs, have never hired a trainer. I have also pet sat for neighbours and family friends, and for extended periods of time. Cant wait to meet your little babies :) As a graduate student at Cornell, my schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week to incorporate pet care into my routine. I’m available for morning and evening visits, walks, and check-ins, as well as additional availability on weekends. I’m happy to work with each pet’s established routine and can plan my schedule in advance to make sure they receive consistent, reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any other specific needs. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise, keep their space clean and comfortable, and provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
