House Sitting in Cortez

“Lindsey was super! Puppies were happy and well cared for while we were gone and we got regular updates even over a busy Thanksgiving week. Lindsey is an excellent communicator, asking questions about things along the way both prior to and during the pet sitting sessions. She took nice care of the house, and was just wonderful to work with. THANK YOU LINDSEY!”

“Morgan did a wonderful job staying in our home with our 2 Bichon's for a 3 day and 3 night stay. We have a high energy (not always easy!) puppy and a much older dog who has poor eyesight and also needs to be "protected" from the puppy. It's not an easy job. Morgan was so warm, loving, positive, and on top of everything! She clearly takes her role as a professional seriously and she confidently followed all of our notes and gave our dogs lots of love and attention. She is extremely responsive to all communications and answered all questions we had, gave us updates any time, and was honest about how our dogs were doing (like when they weren't eating well she told us). That gave us a lot of peace of mind. The dogs clearly adored her and we came home to our house in perfect shape and healthy happy pups. We will definitely be using Morgan again!”

About: I’ve been a vet tech for many years. I’ve worked emergency and general practice. I take pride in my care and in my work and strive for comfort. I primarily pet sitting full-time, and I am readily available at all times. I enjoy spending time with your pets and them having the company. I like to spend time with your pets so they feel at home. I treat them as my own. I make sure they get all the snuggles.

About: We are the typical pet owners who treat their "children" as another loved family member. Our large, fenced yard and our cozy, animal friendly environment is perfect for your "child" while you are away. Our pet (and yours) gets exercised 2-3 times a day, swimming is always allowed if ok with you, and someone is almost always home to play, love and protect your pet. As an owner of Doodles and Mutts- exercise is demanded on a daily basis- so your pet will reap the benefits of our energetic pups. Your pet will receive tons of attention and affection and will be cared for and loved as if they were our own. About this sitter: I am a self-employed woman with a penchant for dogs. I treat them as my children and ensure they are well exercised, loved and have plenty of fun. Why I love dog sitting I have had many dogs in my life and have often helped individuals train their pet. I have extensive (20 years) basic training experience and love to spend time making sure a pet is happy and healthy. About my yard I live on a full acre and my dog/house guests have access to almost every inch of it. There is plenty of room to safely roam the fenced 1/2 acre and also plenty of room to play ball, frisbee or just run about! Our world revolves around our pets and we will make sure your pet has everything they need to be a happy pet. If there are any special instructions, we will assure that things are done correctly and patiently. We will play and entertain them all day, maybe a swim, maybe a walk, maybe a trip to the park. Down time may include cuddles, Doggie YouTube to keep their brains stimulated. Hourly potty breaks.

“Ashley was great - we had a meet & greet before she came and then that was it. She sent me pix of the pups while we were away and left the house the way she found it. All good and will be asking her to housesit again for us!”

“Michael was wonderful with my dog. He was attentive and sent plenty of pictures and provided updates. I appreciate his flexibility with his schedule since this was a last minute booking. Would definitely recommend and plan to book with Michael in the future.”

“I highly recommend Sarah J. She has excellent communication skills. She is reliable, professional and very caring. She stayed with my dog and provided daily updates so I always felt at ease. I will definitely will have Sarah J. care for my dog again.”

About: Hi! My name is Maria Camila, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do it’s who I am. Animals have been part of my life since I was a baby, being born into an animal loving family, I was three when I helped care for my first dog. I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds and have made it my mission to give every pet the love, patience, and care they deserve, so much so that I am on track to pursing a career in veterinary medicine because animals and their well being is my passion. Growing up in a military family gave me the incredible privilege of working with special operations canines, doing things like feeding them, walking them, and playing with them. This gave me hands on experience to learn a lot about taking care of our furry friends. I grew up having a really profound connection to animals and I did volunteering at animal shelters like the Humane Society, helping socialize the animals, trying to find them forever homes, walking, feeding, potty training and administering medicine they might need, like antibiotics or pills or maybe helping them recover after having major surgery. I have experience in taking care of puppies and senior pets, of all species and ages. My family and I have rehabilitated a lot of injured wildlife ( turtles and eagles and even squirrels) I have helped many puppies and kittens grow up happy and healthy. I’ve taken care of everything from lizards to chickens, to horses, and of course, a lot of dogs and cats :) Over the years, I have been a pet sitter caring for families beloved pets, I give each animal my full attention and care while their family is away. Me and the pets always had a wonderful time together, I’m always just happy to spend time with any animal. Animals seem to sense how much I care about them, I’ve been told many times that even the shyest pets warm up to me quickly. I believe that’s because animals can feel how much I genuinely love and care for them, and how I want better for them in this world, they don’t get half the love and recognition they deserve, after all pets are our bonus family members. When you trust me to care for your pet, you can be sure they’ll be treated like family with love, patience, playtime, and excellent care tailored to their needs. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, I bring years of hands on experience and a heart full of love and kindness to every animal I meet. Im a college student, right now im on summer break so I can really do any days except Friday, I can do Friday night but just not before 3-4 pm. I pay attention to detail, I feed them, walk them make sure their needs are met, always use a leash when walking, make sure they have their water, I make sure they’re eating, I clean up after them if they go potty. I really just shower the pets with love and affection that’s if the pet is okay with that :) I just watch the pet like they’re my child making sure they seem happy and are cared after while their family is gone.

“Meghan was so great watching our dogs!! She sent us several photos and was so communicative. She really gave us peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely be rebooking her in the future!”

About: Former Care Technician for Southeastern Guide Dogs, I have helped look after dogs for over 25 years. Big, small and in-between, our fur babies deserve the best care. I have a very flexible schedule, so your pet's requirements are my top priority. Your pet's schedule is disrupted enough when you are gone, so I firmly believe that its best to keep them in familiar surroundings so I will come to you for all your sitting needs. Lasly, I have experience with "dangerous" breeds such as pitties and rotties and have no problem taking care of even your " biggest and baddest" babies. Please call / contact to discuss how I may help you feel comfortable when you're away. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to watch after your fur-baby/babies! I look forward to hearing from you soon! I think you being gone is already unsettling for your pup(s), so I will come to you. I aim to keep them looked after in their own environment so their stress is lessened.

“If I could give a 100 ⭐️ rating for Cole I definitely would. I had a family reunion in another state to attend and my Molly is not only my emotional support animal but she’s also getting older and dealing with senior dog issues with hearing and seeing and getting weak in her back legs and I was panicking about leaving her in a kennel when my concierge sent me some people who could stay at my home and take care of her I carefully reviewed the list and immediately Cole stood out and I had a feeling in my heart he’s the one! We met before leaving town so he could meet Molly and she would get to know him a little and not be afraid. He kept in constant contact while we were gone and sent pictures of her cuddling with him. My heart just melted 🥰 We got home from our trip and Molly wasn’t expecting us and barked and backed up like we were strangers lol because she wanted Cole back. My husband and I are so very grateful and thankful for Cole and would highly recommend him for anyone who may need a dog/home sitter he’s a genuine person who truly loves and cares about our furry kids 🐶💖 I don’t know how to thank him enough for his kindness and love for our girl while we were gone.🙏🏻”

About: Hi! My name is Cloe, and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion. I grew up in a home filled with all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, bunnies, and birds—and learned early on how to connect with and care for animals of all shapes and sizes. Whether it was feeding, playing, grooming, or just offering comfort, being around animals has always felt natural and fulfilling to me. Now, I bring that same love and experience to every pet I care for. Whether it’s a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, I treat every pet like family—because I know how important they are to yours. I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. I currently have an open, flexible schedule and am available any day of the week for pet care visits, walks, or overnight stays. One thing to note: I’m a proud mom to an 8-month-old, and they would be coming along with me for daytime pet visits. My baby is calm, used to being around animals, and always safely secured in a carrier or stroller during visits. I’m mindful about which pets are comfortable around children and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. If your pets are laid-back, kid-friendly, or just love having company, we’ll be a great match! If you're unsure how your pets might respond, I'm happy to chat and do a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone feels good about the setup. This will not be a provided service, my cats are not animal friendly and do not adjust well to new pet friends! I am sorry!

About: I grew up with 2 dogs and 3 cats and now have 2 cats of my own. I would walk to neighbors houses just to play with their pets! Mice, lizards, chinchillas, dogs, cats, any pet you could have, I was there to play with them! Throw any challenge my way and I can handle it as I have taken care of pets my whole life in many situations I live right next to my job offering me immediate access to my home if needed. I am home everyday for lunch requiring me extra time to care for animals. I also do not go into work on Mondays and Wednesdays until 10 and get out of work on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3 making a lot of time available everyday for animals! I live next to an open field awesome for running dogs around. I also live in a nice HOA community that loves dogs and has ample room for them. The inside of my house is extremely pet friendly as many of my family members have pets that come over my house

About: I have been around all types of animals my whole life. Acquaintances have always trusted me to take good care of their pets for short and long term periods. I’m currently working on my own schedule/time, giving me flexibility to work with pet parents and their pets needs. My pets always come first, so I understand the need for flexibility and priority. I have reliable transportation to go to a clients home. I am willing to walk/exercise animals in a clients home, backyard(if applicable), and walks around the neighborhood.

“Kelly exceeded expectations to say the least. We have two big dogs that are fairly young, one that is full of energy. We went away for a weekend and it was our first time using rover. We’d tried the kennel and it was not a good experience for us at all. We needed an overnight sitter that would love our dogs like our own. Kelly took that into consideration and made us feel extra secure while we were gone, sending tons of pictures and updates and being extremely reliable. We feel so relieved knowing she’s there the next time we need her!”

“Marlye was great with our dog and cat. Our dog has night blindness (requiring medicine) and anxiety but he bonded to her immediately. She was prompt with communication and we never had to stress!”

About: Our furry friends aren’t just pets, they are family! I I grew up with dogs and have always loved watching our family and friends’ furry animals when they were away. I know every pet is different and has different needs and I am ready to take anything on. The days will be tailored to your pet and if your pet loves to have fun, we will have lots of fun! If they prefer to lounge around, we will take the day easy. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! I work from home so I am available all throughout the day to care for your pet! Your pet comes first for us, and they will not be left alone for more than 1-2 hrs if a grocery store run or errand is needed. Besides that though, we are always ready to have fun with our pup and can’t wait to have your furry friend join in on the fun! My husband and I have a 3 year old male English Mastiff named Tank! We have a small side yard for quick potty breaks, but we also have a lovely neighborhood to walk around in that has causeway access at the end that is pet friendly and a park just down the road that we frequent daily.
