House Sitting Columbia City

“We have a lot of animals and rarely go on vacation since it requires overnight care. Mandy was the perfect choice for our menagerie which includes dogs, a lizard, and rabbits. We were away for 10 days. She was thorough in gathering all the details of care before we left, communicated regularly with photos and reports on the animals during our trip, and left our home spotless and our animals happy. In fact, I am not sure the dogs even missed us. I highly recommend this calm, thoughtful animal and home caretaker. We will certainly use her services again. Thanks Mandy!”

About: I’m Roh - a doctor-in-training, who is really just on here to spend more time with dogs & cats! I've taken care of friends' & family's dogs my whole life on & off - sometimes dogsitting, at other times walks, feeding them, quick potty breaks, and playing with them to keep them entertained. I am always so happy to be around furry friends & cannot wait to meet yours! I know I’m new on here & you might be nervous about that; I’m happy to do an in-person meet & greet where we can meet in a public space, I can meet your dog, and we can make sure we all get along! NOTE: I know my current rates are under market average. This is a new client promo, available for the next 3 months, while I set up here! I work full time Monday to Friday from 8 to 5 (rarely 6pm), but I’m available during the rest of the time. I think of myself as a great affordable fit for people going on short vacations or work trips, or if you just want an easy night in. On weekdays I can stop by early in the morning around 6:30-7am for a drop-in or a quick walk, followed by a longer walk in the evening with some playtime. On weekends I can dedicate a lot of my time to your pet! I can do up to 3 walks a day, if they prefer that. I am a big believer in respecting your residence. When petsitting, I keep things clean & will do my utmost best to leave your place as you left it! With your pet, I always try to strive for a mix of engagement & letting them chill, depending on their mood.

“Kris was an awesome caretaker for our two old cats, one of whom needs a lot of extra care. We got regular updates (including literally one of the cutest/funniest photos we've ever seen of our other cat), and would feel totally comfortable having Kris here again!”

“Stephanie took great care of Eve and communicated well with us while we were away. We came home to a happy dog and got lots of updates and photos during our trip.”

“I hesitate to leave such a great review as Jayce will then become so popular but it would be unfair to keep such a gem hidden! Jayce has extraordinary patience and could possibly be a dog whisperer. Don’t ever hesitate to book them. Incredible communication , empathy and did I mention PATIENCE ?❤️”

“Tanner is awesome! She house-sat for our dog and 2 cats for 10 days, and did an amazing job. She checked in with us daily with an update and photos of the pets, was diligent about house stuff like plant care and garbage, and left our house extremely clean. She even arranged a couple play dates with her own dog (after confirming it was okay with us of course!) and Dessa seemed to have a great time. Tanner definitely gave us peace of mind while she was house sitting which is invaluable when you’re on a long trip! We highly recommend her and would love to book her again.”

“Talia watched our 6 month old puppy for a day while we were at work - she kept him busy, gave him lots of love and cuddles, and was good at redirecting his puppy behaviors (nipping, etc.). She was responsive and sent cute pictures and updates throughout the day. We were grateful to come home to a healthy, happy puppy, which is no small task!”

“Lobo was an excellent pet and house sitter. He took great care of all of our animals and was respectful of our home. We would recommend him for future sits.”

“Cynthia is terrific and if your schedule coincides with hers, you're really in luck. Cynthia took such good care of my beloved dog (and my house, too). My dog got several good walks a day including a trip to the beach. Cynthia was easily reachable by text and sent frequent updates. I felt so reassured to know that my dog was being so well taken care of. She's the best dog sitter you could hope to find.”

“Cassandra was great. Will be thrilled if Cassandra pet and house sat for me again. I came home to content pets and a clean home. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been a dog dad for 10 years and a cat dad for 15 years. In that time I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs and I love figuring out what makes each one feel comfortable and happy. My schedule is flexible, so I can give your pet consistent, unhurried visits and walks rather than a rushed in-and-out. I’m also comfortable giving medication to senior pets with health needs (both of mine are senior now 😭), and I treat every dog or cat in my care with the same patience and love I give my own. Both of my pets have special needs and quirks as well (my pup likes to bark at the tv!), so I’m happy to adhere to your precise instructions when caring for yours. My schedule is completely open right now so I have plenty of time to look after your pets. I would be able to give them all the attention they need throughout the day. I’m typically just on my computer all day anyway. If I’m caring for your pet in our home, rest assured we have a fully fenced yard. We also have a mother in law apartment where I would do pet boarding - it’s completely separate space from the main part of the house, so your pet can have all the privacy they need.

“Holly was a joy and the girls were well taken care as her photos evidenced. We wouldn’t hesitate to welcome Holly back for future sittings.”

“Natalie was amazing! She house sat and took our dog for great walks and sent an update every day. Great communication. Would definitely recommend her, thank you for your help!”

Gordon K.

“Taj was great taking care of our senior pug. She was a calm presence, and Drusilla clearly enjoyed her. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”

Christena C.

“Gillian was awesome with Ella! Our pup has lots of needs and a set schedule and Gillian handled it easily. Based on the way she acts when Gillian comes over we can tell Ella loves their time together. We will definitely be using Gillian in the future!”

“We’ve happily relied on Tassia multiple times now for extended weekends with our dogs, one of which is very senior and requires extra care and patience. Tassia is communicative, helpful, and provides a sense of relief when we are away. Thank you Tassia!”

Julia S.

“Brooke was great. Very professional. Thorough communication and updates. Respectful of our wishes and care plan for our dog. From the photos she sent throughout her stay, our dog appeared happy, calm, and comfortable. I would trust her to take care of our dog again and recommend her services.”

Akiva K.

“Everything was wonderful! Elise went above and beyond cat/house sitting for us. Our house was spotless when we got home, making it much easier to crash after a long trip and not have to worry about anything. Lexi had plenty of lap time while we were gone, so well taken care of with plenty of snuggles!”

About: I come from a family that adores animals! My folks come from a farm back in Mexico, so they taught me from a young age how to “convivir” (live alongside with a care for) with our furry community! Im currently looking for side gigs, as I just graduated school, plus i love being active & outdoors, so this helps me step away from the computer. I make sure to ask for any particular care details that your little ones may need to make sure I’m providing the bestest of service & care!

“Emily connected with our fur babies right away! She was prompt, warm, communicative - providing updates daily on how they were doing. We highly recommend her.”
