House Sitting Chester

“If I could give Kat 100 stars I would. She came in to house sit and watch my mini Aussie for a week and left the place absolutely immaculate. She volunteered to help clean spaces I hadn’t looked at in months, took Nova on plenty of walks and adventures, sent tons of updates and even left some sweet homemade treats! If you’re looking for someone to help out with your furry family member, she goes above and beyond and is an excellent choice!”

“Jessica was an amazing sitter & took great care of our little zoo! Our pups are high energy, and when we got back they were relaxed, happy and clearly well taken care of. We would definitely have Jessica watch them again!”

About: Hello fellow animal lover! I have lived with, trained, and loved animals since I was a child. I have grown up with multiple dogs, cats, chickens, fish, hamsters, etc… and I would absolutely love to take care of yours! I am a warm, detail oriented, dedicated, and responsible problem solver. I’m also big on communication, updates, and taking pictures of your furry loved one. I take pride in making sure every animal has what they need (and plenty of pets)! Special needs and requests for care are always welcome. I have a lot of experience as many friends, family members, and coworkers have hired me to take care of their beloved pets. All animal inquiries are welcome :) I am currently working full time, with Mondays and Tuesdays off every week. Though my hours are very flexible and I am able to take breaks during the day to check in on your pet! I am happy to stay overnight with a pet, though I am also able to in multiple times a day if preferred. When taking care of a pet, my own or someone else's, they are one of my top priorities! I want to make sure they are the happiest and healthiest they can be, so I tend to go above and beyond when it comes to care. I try to pick the best food possible, make sure they are hydrated, get plenty of fresh air, play, and a few extra toys or outfits are always welcome! I am the oldest of 7 and have a multitude of animal experience under my belt, so I do not get grossed out easily! If there is a mess, I will clean it up with precision and care.

About: I've cared for so many kinds of pets for folks...They trust me to care for them when away and feel relaxed to do them! I will care for many kinds of pets for people in need of a kind, loving genuinely interested in your pet safety, attention, feeding, walking, and everything in between! They are my daily routine! Dedicated to the job! I am open to working whenever I am needed for pet care and home care! They can feel safe with me! At home I have a fenced in yard for my dog, my sister's dogs, and we work this out very well. At others homes, i am mindful of their needs through whatever means the owners have for the pets and act accordingly.

About: I’ve worked on farms and worked with multiple animal types from dogs to goats. I’m accustomed to schedule planning and checking everything off each day and night. I am open in the afternoons and I work in the early mornings. I am quite flexible as long as I have prior notice. My husband does come along with me to meet and greets and appointments when he is off work. I do work a full time job aswell. I have a very relaxed home as I have my own puppy and she has full ranged of the entire apartment. She is fixed and potty trained.

“Kate was absolutely amazing! We were so worried about our special needs cat while we were out of town but both of our cats and dog loved her!! She was able to get out very shy cat to eat his medicine and play with her in such a short amount of time. We will definitely be using Kate in the future when we’re out of town!”

About: I've rescued and taken care of Animals for as long as I can remember and will care for your pets as if they’re my own. Please schedule drop offs and pick ups between 6 am and 6 pm. If you cannot pick up by 8 pm please book a sleepover. There’s a dog door that leads to the fenced back yard. I go outside with them to make sure they are safe. My home is only 600 sf so it’s easy to see everyone at all times! There are plenty of cozy spots for your dog to relax.

“Shannon watched our two huskies and stayed in our home while we were away for a weekend. She took excellent care of our home, collected our mail, and took the best care of our Doggos. She sent several picture updates of our dogs which helped immensely. We will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend her to others!”

About: I’ve been a pet and animal owner my entire life. We have 3 young kids who love to play and one energetic 4 year old dog who also loves to play, so your pet would get a lot of play time at this house! I have lots of availability this summer, so reach out to me for specifics. Once fall hits and I’m back at school, I’ll be available for weekends. We have one friendly dog to keep yours company. Our yard is not fenced in, but we take frequent walks throughout the day. Our dog sleeps upstairs in the bedroom with us, but we do have a crate available if needed.

“Thank you so much. We always feel safe leaving our animals and home in your care. Definitely recommend you to friends and family.”

“Kimberly is terrific! The dogs love her and the pictures she sends are literally 'frame worthy'! Such a treat to see my cuties having such a great time with her!”

About: To be honest, when I was a child I had a deadly fear of dogs. That was until my mother forced me to go to exposure therapy (yes she made me go to a club where they sat you with over ten dogs. Here, I fostered a love for them, and learned a lot about them. They need activity and they also need rest. They need a lot of attention but they reciprocate with fierce loyalty and unwavering love. I would love to help a family continue to give their dog the attention it deserves so they can also live their lives! I am a new college graduate looking for a full time remote position. The job market is competitive and I expect to be unemployed for at least a couple months. I have full time availability and will always have weekends. Let me help full time workers right now while I am figuring out life! My anxious dog requires a lot of attention and ensuring comfort. He gets lots of outdoor time and plenty of exercise in the morning, lunch, and night. He is fed twice a day with a mix of dry and wet food. I work on his tricks with him at least once a day! I also have cared for cats throughout my whole life. Fostering kittens, feeding them, cutting and administering pills for my disordered baby! Additionally brushing my animals, playing with them, and knowing when to give them space. I love my animals and have spent my life ensuring their care!!

“Emily house-sit our dog Amber for 4 days. I cannot recommend her enough and cannot wait to work with her again. First of all, she was able to stop by earlier in the day than I initially set the sitting for, and let Amber out midday and come back later to start the actual sitting. I hugely appreciated this since I made a mistake in the reservation start time. She was great with photo and text updates. From all the photos I could tell how happy Amber was. Her food and medication schedule was kept the same and she had lots of fun with Emily. And I have to say that the house was left immaculate. She went the extra mile to unload the dishwasher that I accidentally left in full, and took out all the trash. None of which were her responsibility but she truly went above and beyond and we appreciated all of it. We cannot wait to have her take care of Amber agan.”

“Mark and Michelle were fantastic with all three pets. We have unique circumstances - a very old cat, a very old dog, and a very young energetic dog. Mark was so good at working with each of them, and is a natural with animals. From a logistics point of view, he was extremely easy to work with. We set up an appointment to meet before the sit so he could see the house and meet the pets. We knew immediately he was a great sitter. He was on time, and communicated well while we were away. Very high recommend.”

About: Freelance writer with aspirations to raise & train dogs as well as break into a career working with animals in hollywood. I'm flexible, approach life with love and a judgement free attitude, & always seek to expand my perspectives and knowledge of critters and the world. I'm a traveler born & raised in the eastern panhandle of WV & have experience tending to dogs, cats, horses, & various avians, & minor experiences with reptiles. I push myself constantly to engage in a positive work ethic, despite challenges. I'm always friendly & very easy to talk to. I know this positive outlook & experience translates well to any animal companion I tend to work with. Currently a full time grave digger out in Virginia. I'm slowly attempting to get back into receiving my dog training certification. I do have 2 years of consistent dog sitting and training under my belt and various years of experience growing up in this area and horse and house sitting for other local farms. Cycling dogs every few hours. If not outside for potty breaks giving indivual attention. Typically I stay in the home, though with my own animal I prefer the flexibility to come and go.
