House Sitting in Cedarville

“Jennifer and Jeff were very welcoming of Zappa for his weekend stay. We were nervous how Zappa would do staying in a new place. Turns out he loved the farm! Jennifer sent us updates throughout the weekend to reassure us he was adapting very well. We will definitely be back!! Thank you 😊”

About: For 15 years I ran a successful dog walking business outside of Boston, and have now returned to the northwest to help my mother age in place. I'm missing my animal friends, and am ready to help with yours! I'm experienced and mature, conscientious, reliable and careful, with the same high expectations for myself that you have. I understand the importance of good relationships with anyone you bring into your pet's life - both for your pet and for you - and building relationships and community is what I most loved about my dog walking business. My schedule is quite flexible! Being retired definitely opens up my availability, and I aim to be as accommodating and helpful as possible to meet your pet's needs. Safety and privacy are important priorities, and I am always respectful of both. I have years of experience accessing clients' homes and caring for their pets - more than 250 pets over the years - without any problems. I am professional and experienced, with a proven record.

“Paul and Jan have been such a tremendous find for our family! They are extremely caring and patient with our feathered and furry crew. Pictures, videos and updates of how things are going on the home front. Our house is as clean as we left it and there is such a peace of mind knowing they are there for our family! They go the extra mile and then some! Can’t recommend them highly enough.”

“We are just so relieved to be able to able to go out of town for the weekend and not worry about a thing. Maureen kept us updated on the animals and was an amazing house sitter. Thanks so much Maureen!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs pretty regularly, from chihuahuas to great danes. I work well with senior dogs just as well as energetic young dogs :) I'm an online graduate student with an internship in Vancouver, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm almost always open on weekends as well. Whatever fits you needs. I have a fenced in yard at home, and food is usually separated from my other pets' food and typical routines to limit interaction. At a clients home, I work hard to keep the home pristine and keep an eye on your pets wherever they go.

About: I’ve had many dogs over the years since I was little. Friends and family who’ve i’ve helped with their dogs on walks or sitting ! I’m currently seeking long term work in something more enjoyable for me. Would love to help with animals in the mean time and am available! I can easily follow any instructions or steps needed for their pets as well as make sure they have a good time with a companion.

About: I have had dogs for my entire life! I currently have 2 dogs. Both are Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Trinity is our senior girl 13 yrs old, and Shira who is 2. I have had the most experience with big dogs (mainly German Shepherds and now Rhodesian Ridgebacks). I have done Schutzhund with my shepherds and have done dog shows and obedience shows locally with my Ridgebacks. Our dogs and the ones I take care of are always my priority. I treat all dogs like they are mine so they get all the love, snuggles, and attention they want. I have a safe and secure home and yard. We have a 3/4 acre completely fenced back yard fenced to 6 feet high. We are in the country and have lots of bunnies for them to chase. We also have a creek on our property that in good weather would be fun for the dogs to play in. I have some agility equipment that I will break out when the weather is nice and let dogs go through those or show them how. For rainy days we have toys and dog puzzles to keep their minds active. We also have a shop that I can put up agility equipment when the weather is lousy and cold so they can chase each other around in there if they are getting antsy. I also do daily obedience with my own dog and any other dog that is with me and wants to join in. While most of my experience has been with big dogs, I will work with any style and breed of dog after I meet them and we get to know each other. I also have experience working with packs of dogs, as at one time, I had a large pack of both German Shepherds, and then Ridgebacks. I also have a lot of experience working with puppies and can help with basic training. I seem to have a knack to help dogs who normally don’t eat or are very nervous when being left with someone else. I have had many boarders who’s moms and dads said were picky eaters or wouldn’t eat for a couple of days and somehow with me they eat well, don’t miss meals, and many times expand their diets. If you have a dog that takes medication I can, and have, administered meds that their parents bring. But I will only administer prescription meds written by a licensed veterinarian to the specific dog with explicit instructions. Bottom line, I don’t just “board” dogs. They are part of the family and treated as such until you get back. They Are talked to, interacted with by my dogs and myself and my husband all day long. They aren’t just put in a room or left outside to fend for themselves. They are truly being loved and cared for from the minute they are dropped off until the minute you pick them up. My husband and I are retired so I am full time at home now. So I can board 7 days a week. And overnight care at my house will be my specialty as you never have to worry about your dog being left for hours during the day or night. I have a very “dog friendly” home. That being said my house is clean and fairly tidy. I clean daily to make sure the dogs are in the best environment. My goal is to have your dog go home with you better than when they came. If they are full of mud from playing outside in the rain they will be washed and dried before they go home. If their nails are too long I will cut them (if the dog allows). If they need to be brushed, I will brush them and often give them a massage…this is especially good for the nervous dogs. If they are scared and feel nervous they will be returned happy and calm from being pampered while you were away. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture including our bed and can play inside or outside with my dogs who are very friendly to other dogs and people. I don’t crate any of my dogs and don’t require dogs that stay with me to be crated during the day or night. If you prefer your dog to be crated at night I will follow your instructions if you bring the crate that they are used to. Many of the dogs that I board sleep in our bed but they also have very plush beds throughout our home that they can sleep on overnight or during the day for naps. Wherever they feel more comfortable sleeping is fine with me even if they don’t want to be in our room with us and our dogs.

“We last minute needed a dog sitter for our two large breed dogs before a 3 night trip. Izzabella was quick to respond to my request and took excellent care of the dogs. Sent lots of updates and pictures as she stayed in our home to dog sit. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I've grown up around all different kinds of animals my whole life. From birds and geckos to dogs and cats, I've always been fascinated by all their different personalities and unique biological aspects. The past year I've began dog-sitting on and off and I've always made sure to take care of all their needs no matter how specific or general. I make sure to prioritize that they're properly taken care of and feel safe and comfortable around me. With my interest in biology I also appreciate them from a scientific perspective and try to apply what I've learnt in school about animal biology and behavior whenever needed. I'm currently off of school for the summer and have a pretty free schedule. There's certain things I also prioritize doing like meeting with communities I'm apart of, but I'm still able to free up my schedule whenever I'm needed elsewhere. During the school months my schedule is a bit more strict around the afternoons but I'm still willing to work on weekdays if it lines up with my schedule. Currently I'm self employed too so I'm able to do my other job on my own time which is very flexible. I currently take care of my cat and 3 dogs which are all properly fed twice a day. I like to play with them whenever they're up for it and I even take my cat for walks everyday since he loves being outside. I'll always respect whatever your schedule/routine is for your animals and make sure they're well fed and happy.

“Lauryn was a great sitter. We had a little hiccup with scheduling but she communicated the whole time, found her own coverage which I really respected, and in the end it all worked out. She sent tons of videos and pictures of the boys and left the house clean. I would absolutely hire her again!”

About: Hello! My name is Jeaneth. I had a love for animals since I was very young thanks to my oldest sister. I’m currently a dog groomer looking to help other dog parents through dog sitting and walking as well. Being around animals is very rewarding and calming. This is great way to be around animals. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. I’m a full time dog groomer with the need for a little more income for my human babies. I have the experience and passion for my fur babies as well. I would prefer to take care of clients’ pets at their house because my children are young and I have a very hyper dog. Their house will feel more comfortable to many fur babies. I do know how to make many pets feel comfortable and supportive.

“Shane was awesome. We felt very comfortable after meeting him that he would do a good job taking care of our dogs. He even took out our garbage and recycling cans for pickup and brought in the mail. Thanks Shane!!”
