House Sitting in Cedar Lake

About: Have had experience with taking care of friends and neighbors dogs since I was a teen. Had my own pup as well who taught me so much when it came to patience, love, and trust, since they were a stray when I first adopted them. I have experience administering meds, and cleaning up wounds if and when necessary. Trust that your pup will be and good hands and be cared for as if they are my own. Currently taking some time off from my job and won't be going back for a couple of months so I have all the time in the world right now. I will care for your fur baby as if they are my own and follow any house rules and/or schedule set by the owner. Any request made will be taken into account as well. Rest assured that your pet needs will always be met.

“Leigha went above and beyond for our dog. She was communitive with us and patient with our crazy girl. Glad we found her and grateful for her services!”

About: I have had dogs big and small my whole life, I’ve had cats for about 5 years now and I’ve worked with horses since I was 8 years old. I love animals more than anything but I also love to helping people. Im passionate about helping owners with animals that have complex or more advanced needs. I want to help relieve the anxiety of having to find someone who you can trust to take care of your pets with the same love and care as you do. I have experience with show dogs along with dogs with health and specials needs and reactivity. I understand the need for a pet sitter that will take care of your animals every little need to ensure you as an owner can enjoy your life without worrying about your furry babys I have three dogs ranging from 4 to 12, so everyday is about caring for them. My older dog has health issues that have to be managed and my younger dog has reactivity and behavioral issues we work with and accommodate properly. I also have an orange cat that definitely keeps the house interesting My dogs get lots of cuddles,lots of play time, and just the right amount of treats. My mini Aussie plays ball everyday and we practice all his cool tricks and tasks daily. My reactive dog spends lots of time playing and working to keep her brain busy and relaxed along with weekly exposure to baths, nails trims etc. to keep her progress from falling behind. As for my oldest he gets to lay around and do whatever he wants because his time is coming to an end and he deserves the best, we make his food weekly along with weekly baths for his skin issues and short walks because of his hips.

About: Growing up I’ve always had pets, from cats and dogs to birds and porcupines. Taking care of each individuals needs brings me so much joy. Thank you for giving me the chance to know your pet! I have open availability and can check on pets whenever it is needed. I can do at home sits any night or day of the week. I can’t do any sitting in my home due to my own pets but I am more than happy to come by and sit with them at your home! I don’t mind coming by for 5 minutes or a couple of hours depending on your needs. I can deal with big dogs who love to jump as well as little pets too!

“Phenomenal Dog Sitter, Highly Recommended! My wife and I visited Sugarland to celebrate our anniversary and attend a concert. We couldn't be more grateful for finding Alexis to take care of our furry family member! From the moment we reached out, Alexis was incredibly responsive, attentive, and professional. She made the whole process a breeze, which was very comforting as we were in town for a short time. Alexis went above and beyond to make our dog feel at home, providing regular updates with adorable photos that showed how much fun they were having together. Her experience and genuine love for animals were evident, and our dog couldn't have been in better hands. Knowing tha "Buddy" was well taken care of allowed us to fully enjoy our anniversary trip and the concert without any worry. We highly recommend Alexis to anyone in need of an exceptional dog sitter. Thank you, Alexis, for making our trip even more memorable!”

About: I love each animal as my own, and I will Do whatever is needed so that they feel comfortable and you feel comfortable as well because the most important thing that you have someone taking care of your animals that you can trust and have no worry’s I am not working so I am available atleast from 6 am to 5pm, my routine is pretty simple I wake up take my son to daycare and I have a bunch of free time I live in apartment I take my dogs out every 2 hours, I also take them for walks but if needed I can go to your place as well

About: We are two roommates that specialize in different areas of pet care, between the both of us we're sure to have what you need! :) Owner one: I've had Cats for my entire life. Littlest newborns, reckless Kittens, lethargic but sweet seniors, special needs Kitties, and even cats that don't react well to others. I've been around Cats since before I can remember, and I've cared for up to 8 at a time. Among my most inclusive, I've cared for diabetic cats, seniors (10-20 year olds), Cats with pica, and hypothermic Kittens. I've administered medicine by mouth and as an injection. No matter the situation, I believe that the most important thing is communication and quality care. Your fur baby will be taken care of as if they were our own when they're here. As a Cat owner myself I understand that Cats are curious creatures, which is why our house is completely Cat safe. Our house has lots of windows, which are perfect for bird watching! We also include a catio for the lovely little ones to experience time outside in a safe and controlled manner. Owner two: I've had Dogs my entire life from Dog sizes of Chihuahuas to Great Danes and all inbetween. I've had short and long haired Dogs so daily Grooming is available for Double Coated dogs. I have experience with New Born Puppies to 18+ Elderly Dogs. We have a closed in Yard and a room open for your Dog to sleep comfortably inside at night. I've trained each Dogs I've owned and walk my own daily. I have experience with trouble making dogs and snappy ones. No attitude is to much for me. Dogs that need a special diet are all no problem we can separate and make fresh foods if requested. I know how to give medication threw mouth or syringe. Farm Animal Care. I've lived on a farm my entire life and do well with Chickens, Rabbits, Goats, Ducks, Turkeys, and Pigs. Reptile Care. I've had experience with multiple retiles I've taken care of Snakes and own several lizards who eat Live Food or need fresh produce. Owner one: I wake up every morning at around 7am, and do a bit of cleaning/remote work. Around 8:45 I start making the cats breakfast. Their breakfast is half a can of tiki cat, made by nacho chicken broth, Instinct digestive blend food topper, salmon oil, a freeze dried fish treat, and extra water for hydration. They eat in bowls that prevent whisker fatigue. Then we supervise play time as they run around the house. at around 12:30 they have a lunch of nutrish dry food with chicken broth for added hydration. Then they go out to the catio for some outside enrichment, before coming back in before it gets too hot. They have a soupy snack (Broth, water, and salmon oil) before running around the house some more. At around 6pm they have dinner, which is a repeat of breakfast with more dry food. Then we refill their bowls with dry food to make sure they eat enough. Then, after running around until 10pm it's finally time to send them to bed. We do have an alternate schedule for the days that we're taking care of other animals, so your little ones would be able to do the same things! All of our time is spent with our animals, they would never be unsupervised. Our cats would not be interacting with your pets unless otherwise specified. 🥰 Owner two: For our dog I wake up around 7AM each morning to take them out to use the bathroom. Around 8AM I come back and feed them a mix of dry food and fresh food. After there meal they get another bathroom break. They stay inside most the day unless they ask to go out. If not I will take them outside at 12PM, 3PM, 6PM. After 6PM ill make there dinner of the same mix of food. There usual walk times are in the mornings and sunset. Those times can vary to your pet. Our dog won't be interacting with your pet unless otherwise specified. Owner one: So in our home your pets care would be the same as our pets care, just at seperate times. We would supervise them at all times, but they would be able to run around with free roam of the house and catio. Everything in our house is cat proof, and we have lots of windows (that don't open) that our cats love to watch out of. They would always be busy, and if they weren't, they would have plenty of comfortable sleeping places. As for drop ins or other services in your home, we would have to be flexible and adjust based on your cats schedule. We can stick to a schedule, or just hang out and play/find something to keep them occupied. Depending on the pet and situation, obviously our care protocols are going to be different, we'll learn what makes your cat comfortable and stick to it. ❤️ Owner two: In our home your dog will be treated as our own they'll get their own room and attention we will play with them spend time with them walk and feed all depending on the individual pet. In our home the dog will have a yard to freely run around in (supervised of course) For dog walking we'd use the leash and collar you provide. If walking with a harness I prefer a second leash on the dogs collar incase of an emergency. In your home I'll adjust to your schedule we are very flexible and are available for check ins at any time of the day through morning, evening and night.

About: I’ve fostered for the SPCA. I’ve sat for countless friends, family and colleagues. I have an undeniable connection with nearly all animals that I encounter. I’m currently a stay at home mom for my 11 year old son. Also, having 2 adult daughters, 1 of which is currently in college and the other just got married last year and is starting a family of her own. I have a VERY large fully fenced in backyard that is ideal for dogs of all ages and breeds. I allow them full access to roam freely inside or outside by use of the doggie door. If I have dogs from different families I have 3 separate fully furnished and doggie friendly “guest rooms” that allow for space and privacy if needed.

About: I have always loved pets. I have often pet sat for my friends or family. I owned my first dog at 13. I trained her myself as well as groom her myself. I would consider her my baby. Training my own dog has given me a better understanding of them and a greater respect for them. I recently adopted a new big puppy which has better equipped me for caring for dog's with various personalities since she required much different training than my older little dog. I enjoy getting to know pets with different personalities and loving on them. If you trust me with your pet, I will treat him/her as my own. Pet sitting works great with my schedule because I am a full time teacher so I have all summer to love on your pet while you are away. I am fully able to stay at your house if need be to pet sit. My roommate takes care of my two fur babies while I am away. Also, I am able to bring your pet to my apartment with my two dogs who love other animals. My apartment is next to a big park and has a huge dog park for exercise. I am flexible with the needs of my clients.

“Sharon was the perfect pet sitter. Our dogs were well taken care of! Will have her back in the future!”

Our pets have always been part of our family, and I will treat your pet & home with the same attention and care that I have always shown to my own.
