House Sitting in Claypool

About: I’ve taken care of and interacted with all sorts of animals: dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, ferrets, and even snakes and tarantulas! Pets that are under my care are always given the best treatment and care that they deserve! I am currently a volunteer at All Those Left Behind Animal Rescue. Through the rescue, I’ve handled dogs with behavioral issues, diseases, cancers, special needs, and those with age-related problems. I work part-time Mondays-Fridays in the evening with all holidays off. Additionally, I am a full-time college student with classes that vary each semester.. I am extremely flexible and even on the days that I am busy, I will try my best to find time for your pet to ensure the most comfortable experience! Unfortunately, I cannot care for pets in my home due to family relations and a skittish cat, but I am more than open to caring for your pet in your home! With all the necessary materials, directions, and details, I can ensure that your pet is safe and comfortable while you are away!

“Sarah was the best sitter we could hope for for our very first pet sitter! She communicated throughout the day, everyday with pictures and updates. She really cares for your pet as if it were her own! I definitely recommend her!!!”

“She is the absolute best and my pups adore her! She takes excellent care of them and I don’t have to worry while she is there. Highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve overnight babysat puppies and dogs and have fostered cats and kittens with the lovely organization Anticruelty. I’m currently taking care of my three fur babies. I’ve personally trained my dog Koda basic and more advanced commands, (sit, stay, paw, bow, speak, wait, high five, to potty on a potty pad and outside, etc.) I’m on the road to success with my other dog Zulu. He has achieved commands like sit, stay, roll over, paw, down, being potty trained, etc. Additionally, I’ve worked with my cat Darla on not getting on countertops, no curtain climbing, no couch scratching and being gentle with humans around her! I currently work a part time job as a swim instructor as well as attending school as a senior. Weekends work best for me but weekdays are doable! If you’re willing to work with what i’ve got, i’m willing to work with you and compromise! I strongly believe in respect and security. No matter what, I will treat you and your fur baby with the respect that I would want my own to be treated with. I would never purposely violate the privacy you’ve entrusted me with. Besides that, I have a fenced in yard and two very social dogs to keep your fur baby company!

“We had Sammy stay with our 3 Goldens. They loved having her here. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have three large dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience helping raise and train puppies, including one who recently turned one year old, and I’m comfortable with everything from feeding schedules and administering medications to walks, playtime, treats, and cleaning up after pets. As a student-athlete home for the summer, I’d love to spend my extra time caring for animals and giving them the attention they deserve. My love for pets started at a young age—I even ran a homemade dog treat business to help earn money for my first two puppies! Since then, I’ve always enjoyed spending time with animals and treating them like family. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and companionship. As a student-athlete, I’m used to managing a busy schedule and staying organized, so I always make sure pets receive reliable and consistent care. Between work shifts and practices, I have plenty of availability to give pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I believe pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on providing care in my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I do not offer boarding in my home, but I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, and in-home care tailored to your pet’s needs.

“All of the dogs seemed to do well and be happy while we were away. Andie was good at communicating and keeping me up to date on how they were”

About: Hello! I have had dogs since I was 12 years old, I currently own a diverse set of dogs. 3 heelers and 1 GSD, I have extensive training in dog handling and own a Mobile pet nail trimming buisness! I work Full Time from home- I am able to watch dogs from my home or watch them from yours. I am able to drop in when needed. I take pride in my attentiveness, dedication and love for animals. My knowledge is extensive in training, handling, pet care and much more. I can administer all Medications, I am pet CPR certified and I’ve owned a various breed of dogs over my life time.

About: I've taken care of dogs for a while now. I have had 2 dogs one that is currently 6 1/2 years old and the other that sadly passed away at 13 1/2 years old. I have also been reliable with my aunt's dog Molly. I have taken care of her overnight on several occasions. Overall I think that I would be very reliable with your dog too. I am currently off for the summer from my job at an elementary school. I can take care of them in the afternoons and mornings. I do have a fenced yard and I have a dog named Javy who is usually very friendly. I can also crate your dog if needed.

About: I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether your dog is energetic and adventurous or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and a safe, comfortable experience while you're away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As a cat owner and experienced pet sitter, I'm used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, medication schedules when needed, and plenty of attention. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to provide consistent, reliable care that helps pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's schedule, preferences, and needs. In a client's home, I provide attentive care that includes feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, litter box or potty breaks, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection. I treat every home with respect and keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Ally took care of our 2 babies (pit bull & shihtzu) & did a great job. She was very communicative & sent pics daily to let us know the pups were ok. I would recommend Ally for pet sitting & plan to use her again in the future. Thank you, Ally!”

About: Ive grown up with pets my whole life from puppies to seniors. This makes me versatile in taking care of any pet age, even training. I love any and all breeds of dogs with no preference. I also have had multiple dogs at the same time my whole life so caring for multiple pets at a time is no problem. I am currently home from college for the summer so my schedule is almost always open. I work at a restaurant in Plainfield a few nights a week for a couple hours otherwise I’m always available for your fur babies. I am very flexible in your personal rules of watching your pet. Crating, walking, or even supervised outside time are all things I respect along with anything else you specifically need for your pet. I have also had large and small dogs. I would love for your pet to stay in routine so I will try to follow that as closely as possible

“Holly is so great!! She responds quickly, is reliable, responsible and on time. She left my house immaculate and really bonded with my cat (who hates people) and my dog. Highly recommend!! 💫”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since childhood. First it was cats, then dogs, and I’m now a proud owner of a Quaker parrot. I’m willing to walk or pet sit dogs, help pet sit cats at their own home, and the same with exotic birds. Someone is always home with the pet and we also help you dog get socialized with our parrot. When I had dogs, I let them sleep on the bed with us. I also let them sit on the furniture, too. And I do spoil them, also. I work full time in the afternoon shift but my boyfriend works mornings so there is always someone home. He loves animals, too! I do my best to work around my schedule. Our bird Kerry only goes in his cage when we are both out of the house and at bedtime. Otherwise, we let him out. Kerry is used to dogs. He likes to talk to dogs.

About: My passion for dogs has been with me since a very young age. As a child, my dream was to be a vet because of my passion and love for animals. I have 20 years of service, and my approach to caring for my dogs at home has always been holistic and natural. I've reversed my dog's diagnosed disease naturally and have saved his life naturally when vets have told me to put my dog to sleep. I'm thorough with my dogs’ routine, medication, diet, and cleaning eating. That makes me highly prepared for the dogs I tend to. Fun fact: My family and I own 17 pets! Usually, when everyone goes on a family trip, I'm the caregiver for all our pets at once. Hopefully, the background I give of my experience gives you peace in choosing me to watch your babies 🐩🐶🐕 I do freelance work; it's my main source of income. Therefore, it’s easy to create my own schedule and very flexible days and hours. It will be easier for you to book with me as I strive to work with your schedule and needs effortlessly Personally, with my own dog, I'm highly attentive. Even though we have a backyard, I strongly believe in always being present and attentive when taking your dog out to potty. Even in your own backyard! Anytime they are outside, I will be present. I also think it’s important to interact and be present regularly with them; they need attention and love, too. I make sure to spend time with my dog when I come home and make time to play, cuddle, and show him affection . Also, it's important for me to take him out of the house. Even if it's a short walk, cruising in the car to pick up errands or food. It's important for them to explore and experience different environments.

“What a great experience, for me and my dog. Christina was awesome, she sent pictures daily and left a note for us at the end of her stay. My dog was well taken care of and loved while we were away! She is now my preferred dog sitter and will get repeat business from me.”

About: Back and better than ever! To my regulars who stuck with me through life changes, I thank you. And to my new clients, welcome! Single motherhood has been an adjustment but I still make time for my furry, feathered and scaled favorites! Availability is quite random at the moment, but I will do my best to accommodate. For those new to my profile I have cared for dogs both big and small (I adore big dogs. Give me all the mastiffs, cane corso, boxers..) cats, rabbits and even turtles! Happy to work with all temperaments and I’m not one to shudder at a big bark. Currently doing this simply as an extra side hustle on top of another job! I was formerly a stay at home mom and I am now making the transition to single motherhood and this is flexibility is what will allow me to provide while caring for my son. My availability is a bit more random than most. I can walk, feed, water, crate and let a dog in and out of the home into the yard as needed! Whatever works best for you and your pet.
