House Sitting in Clare

“Hannah is GREAT! She was super professional and took great care of my pup and chickens. I'm grateful to have found someone who I can rely on!”

“Isaac did a great job for us. He sent pictures for updates.”

“Leaving home is never easy. Leaving your pets at home is even more difficult. Luckily I was able to find Genesis who provided me with not only pet care but the peace of mind to know that I can travel without concern. Highly recommend if I’m not using her first!!!”

About: I am a full time college student at Delta campus. I go in person on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and the rest are online! I have a very flexible schedule - and own a photography business! I am very passionate about everything I do , and go above and beyond to show that! I would love to treat your animal just as much as I treat mine with love! I really enjoy this job - walking dogs , or seeing animals is a good short escape from all the responsibilities and tasks in my life right now. I’m willing to walk during the winter season as well - it’s my favorite! I currently work full time doing Door Dash! I am able to take off work anytime of the day and or week - so I would easily fit into your hectic work schedule! I have a strong care for the love that animals receive! I will make sure that your animal is taken care of as I wish mine would be! I will make sure your home is always free of pet specimen if your animal is known for that! I am on time, communicate well, and take lots of photos of your animals - I’m a professional photography it’s expected!

“Cher took wonderful care of our pets while we were away this weekend!”

About: I have been housesitting in the UK, as you can see from my reviews in photos, but now back in Michigan and reactivating my profile here. I love all animals and am sensitive to their needs and preferences, whether they are affectionate and like a lot of attention or if they are shy and prefer to hide. My usual approach for the first few days is to give treats or otherwise get them to associate me with food, and then they usually can tolerate me from there. :) I know it can be confusing or stressful at first for them to have their family gone and someone else in their house instead, but it's still so much better than going to a kennel, and I like to think of it as being a friend who comes over and helps them enjoy life until their family returns. My general housesitting process is to arrive at the previously-agreed upon date and time, texting a photo and brief message to check-in if owners are already gone. I spend a few minutes connecting with the pets and checking everything over, and then give a potty break and/or walk. From there it's about following all instructions from the owners and making sure the pets are relaxed and comfortable with me in their home, with two walks per day and lots of cuddles and play. I also allow them to sleep on the bed with me. I do not give them human food unless previously instructed -- one exception might be that cheese is a brilliant vehicle for delivering a hidden medication. I send twice daily updates, morning and evening, with photos and a brief report on how it's going and any minor issues or questions. For major issues, which I have not ever experienced, I appreciate having emergency contact information of a local family member or neighbor. I currently work long days on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I can still do overnights on those days, but it would be best if you have someone who can pop in for a potty break a couple times during the day. Otherwise, I am totally free to devote my time to your pets. I spend my last few hours before departure cleaning up after myself, including stripping the bed (if time permits I’ll run through the laundry cycle), vacuuming, wiping down bathroom and kitchen surfaces, and straightening and tidying as needed. Owners can expect to come home to a clean space, in the same or better condition than when I arrived. I do ask that the house is fairly clean upon my arrival. That said, I have worked professionally as a cleaner and organizer, so if you need extra help with cleaning, decluttering, or organizing and would like these services as an add-on, please let me know. It’s a great opportunity to come home to a fresh start. Additional info: -Please double-check that your dates are accurate, as I can only guarantee availability for the dates we agree to and have booked. If it turns out your travel time extends beyond these dates, or if you are delayed, you can check my calendar or ask if I'm available, and I'll do my best to help, but in case I'm not able to, you should have an emergency contact who can help in this scenario. -You can rest assured that I do not cancel. I understand the stress that cancellation places on people, especially since it has been done to me, and this is not something I want to cause. I enjoy repeat customers and positive reviews. :) -Please be sure your pets and home are treated for fleas, as I am going into many different homes with pets. -I do not have guests over, it will be just me in your home. I do not smoke, and I only drink if offered one socially. -As a single woman, for my own security I keep the doors locked at all times and do not answer the landline or door, unless requested by owners and expected ahead of time, such as a delivery. -My fee is a flat rate of $35/night for up to two dogs and two cats. Rover is setup to charge per pet and I can't modify it until after a request comes in, which I can then customize. So if you have multiple pets and are quoted $35/pet when requesting, don't let it stop you, I will adjust the quote to the flat rate of $35/night if we decide to book. If you have more than two dogs, I have an additional rate of $15/extra dog to cover extra walks and cleaning. If you have more than two cats, I charge $5/extra cat. -I am fine to use Rover TOS for the first sit. I also have my own simple contract if you prefer. Thank you for reading and entrusting your pets and home to my care! I currently work long days on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I can still do overnights on those days, but it would be best if you have someone who can pop in for a potty break a couple times during the day. Otherwise, I am totally free to devote my time to your pets. I do not have any pets at home at this time, which is one reason I am free to petsit and enjoy it so much. I give pets my full attention and make them my priority. I keep the house in tidy condition during my stay, and clean up after myself thoroughly upon departure.

“Louis took great care of our 3 dogs! He kept excellent communication with us, and sent us pictures. We will definitely be trusting him with our dogs and our home again!”

“Aliyas has a kindness in her tha makes her the perfect person to care for animals. She has watched my dogs and cats many times when I am on vacation. She is compassionate and gentle with them and gives updates on their well being. She also has found multiple abandoned animals in the time that I have known her. She gets them the medical attention they need, including preventative care, and works to find them the right home and family”

“Shannon is great with pets and always is always so helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to pet needs. When my border collie was having health issues she was eager and willing to help me and it meant so much to my husband and I.”

“Austin dog sat for my 3 year old golden doodle, Ruster. He was patient and followed all of my tips and tricks to help my dog have the best stay while I was away!”

“Morgan has been a reliable dog sitter for me for the last five years. I work long hours and she’s always able to make sure my dogs are cared for while I’m working. Includes feeding them, letting them outside or taking them for a walk.”

“Alana has owned snd responsibly cared for animals her whole life. She is always showing them love. It does not matter what kind of animal or where she is, Alana can be seen giving the animals some love. No stray has crossed her path that she hasn’t taken in and worked tirelessly to find the owner. When there has been no luck, she has added to her family! There’s no worries about your pet being safe and well cared for with her.”

“Schyler is amazing with animals, took wonderful care of my Cali! She spoiled my dog to great extents, better that she has a fenced in yard! Would highly recommend!”

“I have had the joy of knowing Liv since she was a small girl. She is bright, kind, and extremely trustworthy. The first time I needed someone to watch my pups, I struggled. I trust their well-being and happiness with very few people, Liv is now one of those few. Her gentleness and love for animals is ingrained in her soul, and she goes above and beyond in everything she does. There is nobody that I would trust more, she has become family. Thank you, Charleen Sasse”

About: I have taken care of my own dogs, cats, fish, and even hedgehog over the last 10 years. I am very good with any age of animals and enjoy spending quality time with them. In addition, over the past year I have been a park pal at my local humane society which means I get to take a dog out during one on one time to a park. I can feed, bathe, walk, brush, and play with your animals! As I am a college student, I will have to work around my class schedule but I am a pretty flexible person. However, I am completely free from December 14th-January 9th while I am on holiday break. I will always make sure the dog is on a leash if needed and make sure they are in a fenced yard. I enjoy loving on animals and showing them with compliments.
