House Sitting Chetwynd

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. I’ve always had animals in my household. Neighbors, family, and friends have always trusted me to watch their furry friends while they were away. I work part time at a school from august to may. I have plenty of time every day at home to watch and play with your animals. I have a large fenced in yard for my dogs at home. I live with parents so my dogs have multiple people to let them out and play when needed. In clients homes I let them out often and I am able to walk them and play with them frequently.

About: **I have 4 years experience fostering and training reactive, aggressive, and fearful dogs. I’ve seen many transform into well-adjusted companions under my care** I have years of experience caring for and tending to older dogs and cats with various health issues like hip dysplasia and incontinence, in addition to puppy and kitten care, too. I am patient and kind even with the highest maintenance puppies. I fostered neglected/previously abused dogs with Carolina Adopt-A-Bulls rescue for over 4 years. I am very experienced with mitigating leash reactivity and caring for heartworm-positive pets throughout their treatment, and I look out for dangerous situations before they happen. I am well versed in canine first aid and wound care. I am also a foster volunteer through the Bloomington Animal Shelter. I do not currently have a foster dog. I am attentive, caring, experienced, and kind. I can’t wait to meet your pets. I am a doctoral student, so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I’m booked up until 6pm on Wednesdays, but have more flexibility the rest of the week. I can take your pup for walks around the neighborhood, campus, or the many parks Bloomington has to offer. I have a comfy dog bed for canine visitors to lounge in while I’m studying.

“She was great and very communicative! Would definitely use again!”

“Stacey was amazing and went above and beyond for me and my pets. She mentioned she has 3 large dogs and her experience really showed. At one point I ran out of dog food and she offered to go pick some up. She also watched over my guinea pig and took great care of him, since she has rabbits of her own. I will definitely be booking her again and again!”

About: I've taken care of pets all of my life. From puppies all the way up to seniors. I love them all. They all need someone to care for them and feel the extra love especially when their normal family is away. I'm currently flexible and can fit pet care into my daily routine. Occasionally, I will pick up an additional job. But that shouldn't interrupt with taking care of what I love to do and that is to take care of fur babies. I would rather take care of your pets in their environment due to the fact that they are most comfortable there. I also have two fur babies of my own. But I feel as if fur babies are normally happy in their own surroundings.

About: I did an internship at medical mutts where I trained service dogs and helped take care of them. I’ve watched friends dogs. I train dogs too! I’m not really doing anything, so I’m available pretty much whenever, I am totally flexible. I can do long term or short term schedules. I want your dog to be safe! I’m unfortunately not able to do boarding at my house, but I can take your dog out to see my little brothers or my grandma because she loves dogs, I can take your dog to the park and I can even train your dog!

“Sarah was wonderful! All of our dogs love her. She is always able to manage anything that comes up. Even 6 inches of snow! We look forward to booking Sarah again.”

“Makayla was great! She took fantastic care of my two Frenchies, and she sent me regular updates and pictures throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Christina was wonderful to our pets while we were away on vacation. She shared photos and general updates that all was well. Christina was responsive when I reached out too. Overall, the house and animals were well loved while we were away. Thank you, Christina!”

About: I’ve happily taken care of dogs of any kind, inside their homes for family and friends for 10 years. I have house sat and done drop ins too. I am currently working full time but we will be home with the pups all evening. I am also able to stop in on my lunch breaks to do mid day potty breaks and some play time. On weekends my availability is much more open and I will be able to spend lots of time playing and spending time with the pups. I have 4 dogs of my own at home that I care for and love with my family. I will show the same love and care for your pets as I do with my fur babies!

“He was so great and we really appreciate the great care he gave!”

“Hannah has been great to watch our dog multiple times when we are out of town. She is reliable with good communication throughout the stay. We will continue to reach out to her!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was a babe! Watching everything from chickens, pit bulls, Great Danes, horses. You name it!! I have all the love to give 💕 I work Monday-Thursday 8-5. I’m up at 6 so plenty of time for potty, food, and cuddles! Then after I love going on walks in my neighborhood!! I have a fenced in yard and sun room ✨ I have a large fenced in shaded yard that is mostly private! My neighbors are all friendly and have dogs of their own in fenced yards! Plenty of space for fetch and a neighborhood to go on walks in! If you have a list of specifics you would like to provide me with such as feeding time and walk times I would love that information!

About: My pet care experience includes a variety of different animals such as, dogs, cats, a turtle, hamster, mouse, bunny, and fish! I have always had a strong connection with animals and caring for them in general. The passion I have for taking care of all animals is very strong and I believe they are the purest creatures we have. If you chose me to watch your dogs or cats I promise you they will feel safe in this home and loved while you are gone. Your pet will be in good and loving hands. I also believe that animals have distinct personalities and emotions and those emotions should be paid attention to. Animals have needs just like humans have needs. Us humans have to tend to them! I feed the cats and dog every morning around 7 or 8. I let the dog out for about an hour or so before I leave for work and, clean the cats litter boxes (yes, they have separate ones) while the coffee is brewing. I make sure to spend some quality time with them before I leave. When I get home, Juno is always so excited to see me and the cats run up to me too! I’m just as excited to see them as they are to see me… I am not offering Boarding services right now because my dog and cats do not get along with other animals. I do offer house sitting services, where I start off by greeting the animals and gaining their trust. This is always the first thing I do when entering your house. I then go to the kitchen where the instructions to feed and walk them usually are. If they are not in the kitchen I usually double check my Rover app to see if there are instructions there. I make sure to close all of the blinds in the house and, lock every door if I ever need to leave during the house sitting duration.

“My dog, Cassie, can be very wary of strangers and Tasha handled it like a pro! She sent lots of pictures, let me know what was going on with the fur babes, and left the place just as neat as it was left to her. Definitely would recommend!”

“Janell was absolutely wonderful! We have five pets (two large dogs and three cats) who, while all lovely, can be a lot to manage all together. Janell took everything in stride and was an excellent caretaker while we were out of town! She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of pictures, and was very conscientious about their care. She also was very respectful of our home and left everything in great shape! There’s nothing better than knowing your pets are in good hands while you’re out of town and coming home to a happy and cared for crew, and Janell definitely fits that bill. We would absolutely have her watch our pets again!”
