House Sitting Conkelley

“Sandy is wonderful! She is kind, calm, compassionate and is pet-centered in her care, prioritizing the needs of the pets in the absence of their owners. She is sensitive to pet personalities and special needs, while adhering to their normal routines as much as possible. We appreciate the time Sandy spent getting to know our pets prior to the care assignment. We also appreciate Sandy’s willingness to take on a couple extra big asks. It gave us great piece of mind knowing our home and pets were in great hands! Our place was more tidy than the way we left it and Sandy laundered the linens before she left. I highly recommend her! 5-Star care!”

“We are very happy we had Katelyn watch our two dogs for a week! She was communicative, sent as many updates as we requested, kept the pups happy, and was very pleasant to work with. Perhaps the best surprise of all was coming home to our extremely clean home, washed towels/sheets/etc. - which was above and beyond our expectations. Katelyn made our vacation stress-free! We’d definitely suggest her for watching your pets :)”

“Brooke was great! She updated me on how Mocha was and checked in on my travel plans to ensure Mocha was taken care of. He was relaxed enough to chill and nap and I came back to a happy boy :)”

“We are so appreciative for Whitney and the wonderful care she provided for our 2 dogs! The most stressful part of vacation planning for us is finding a dog sitter. This was our first time using a service, and we couldn't be more pleased! Whitney is a thoughtful and compassionate professional! She provided updates and pictures during our 2 week vacation, which was reassuring. We knew our dogs were in good hands. 10/10 recommend!”

About: Hi, my name is Shaima and I’ve had dogs my whole life! Big and small, to fluffy or almost hairless. I’ve been training my own dogs since the young age of 10, with the help of dog training tv shows! Also, I’ve been dog sitting my sisters two beautiful pit bulls for years, as she’s an avid traveler. I’m always up for whatever your dogs want to do! They want to play fetch? Awesome. Want to go for a walk? Be my guest. Nap time? You can never take too many naps. I’m sure I can give your special little pup the most love and attention. I never met a dog I didn’t love! I hope you will pick me to care for your beloved four legged friends.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’m the go-to sitter for friends because I genuinely love being around animals and put a lot of care into making sure they feel safe, understood, and comfortable. During my psychology degree, I completed a minor in Animal-Assisted Interventions and Psychotherapy, focusing on animal behavior, emotional attunement, human-animal connection, and therapeutic support work. My own dog is a huge part of my life. She travels around the country with me and goes almost everywhere by my side. I personally trained her with therapy service dog foundations, which taught me a lot about patience, consistency, structure, and reading a dog’s needs and body language. I'm fortunate that my days are centered around my dog, Bennie. I get up, let her out right away, then prepare her breakfast, and she eats while we start the morning together outside. I’m home most of the time and spend my days in the yard gardening, doing yard work, or working on projects around the property, so she’s with me and supervised throughout the day. I also always make sure there’s some form of engagement or mental stimulation so dogs are never bored or over-energized, whether that’s training, enrichment activities, or interactive play. If I need to run errands, Bennie usually comes with me and stays in the car if the weather is safe. If it’s too warm, she stays home in her calm, familiar environment instead. I’m typically only gone for short errands and make a point of never leaving her alone for long. When we’re not at home, we’re usually outside doing something active- swimming at the lake, going on hikes, going for runs, or taking long walks. Our lifestyle is very outdoors-oriented, and she’s included in almost everything I do Dogs are a huge part of my life, and because I care deeply about providing a safe, low stress environment, I intentionally keep my boarding environment calm and structured. My goal is to give well mannered dogs a place that feels like home, not a kennel. To make sure every dog, including my own dog Bennie, stays safe and happy, I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and lifestyle. The dogs I board must be friendly and non aggressive toward people and other dogs, with no history of aggression, biting, resource guarding, or serious reactivity. Any signs of aggression or unsafe behavior during a stay may result in an early pickup request. They must be fully house trained with no ongoing accidents indoors. I understand an occasional accident can happen in a new environment, but dogs that regularly mark, urinate, or defecate indoors are not a good fit. If repeated accidents occur during a stay, I may request early pickup. Dogs should be comfortable in a home environment without excessive or persistent barking. Occasional alert barking is understandable, but they must be responsive to redirection and not fixate on people, sounds, or movement outside the home. Dogs that bark continuously when I leave or struggle to settle with normal household noise are not a good fit. Dogs should be able to relax quietly indoors without excessive vocalizing, as I have neighbors and tenants I respect. Dogs should be able to stay home alone for short periods, such as while I run errands, without destructive behavior or severe separation anxiety. For safety, dogs should ride comfortably in a vehicle if transportation is ever necessary and have reliable recall and respect physical boundaries. Dogs with a history of escaping, climbing, or jumping fences are not a good fit for my property. They should also be comfortable sharing space with Bennie and enjoy appropriate, respectful play. Bennie is always at the top of my mind, and safety is my number one priority. I have a fully fenced, dog-proof yard with a secure gate that is always kept closed. I also have cameras on the property to monitor for wildlife or anything unsafe outside. Inside the home, I use non-toxic, pet-safe cleaning products and avoid harsh chemicals. I’m very mindful of anything dogs could be sensitive to, including what they’re exposed to, what they play with, and what they’re given. I only use safe toys and bones that are appropriate and supervised. Chewing must be under control. I provide plenty of appropriate toys and chew options, but dogs that chew furniture, household items, or damage property will result in an early pickup request. I also reserve the right to request reimbursement for any damage or excessive cleaning caused during a stay. I spend most of my days at home working on my property, gardening, hiking, or enjoying the outdoors with Bennie, so visiting dogs receive plenty of companionship, supervision, enrichment, and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I carefully screen each booking to make sure it is the right fit for everyone involved. I understand these requirements may not fit every dog, and that is okay. My goal is not to accommodate every pet. It is to provide exceptional care for dogs that thrive in a calm, structured home environment.

“Riley responded right away to my request to sit in our home with our puppy. He has separation anxiety and she knew how to handle him. She stopped by a couple of days ahead to learn our routine. She was very responsive and communicated when she would arrive before visiting. We would use Riley again as our sitter”
