House Sitting in Cottage Hills

“Hired Kelly to see how petting would work for a trip in the future. Kelly was super friendly. Came for a quick house tour during the week and watched our pets on that Friday. She got here right when we asked. Feed and hung out with the dogs. Sent photos. Will hire again”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was about six years old. I always watched neighbor's animals and cared for them as well as family and friends. I have no issues with giving medications orally to an animal and getting them their exercise in a backyard, going for a walk, or even going to the dog park to go have fun. My goal in life is to pursue a career working with animals while caring for my children. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time for caring for pets while I am going through college. Tuesdays, I am not available from 2 PM to 315, but before and after that I am available. I am comfortable with using a dog lead if your pet requires it or just taking them on a walk if you do not have a fenced in backyard. If you have animals that have separate foods, I am perfectly willing to separate them in different locations in order for them to eat their own as I have to do this with my cats given 2 of them have urinary issues.

“Did such a great job taking house sitting and taking care of both dogs. Loved all the pictures ?”

“From what I can tell Kristin did an excellent job with Peeka! I say “From what I can tell” jokingly. There were so few things moved or touched that it made it impossible to tell she had even been there! In the future, and there will definitely be more, im going to have to tell her to be comfortable! I very highly recommend Kristin and look forward to having her take care of my baby again! Thanks!”

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and etc. A dog is more than just an animal, they are a part of the family. Im a dental assistant and love helping people achieve the confidence to smile again. Im 22 years old and still live with my parents so this is a great side hustle to save money to move out eventually. At home we have a basset hound named Maggie that’s three years old, an Australian Shepard named Ranger that is also three years old, a Yorkie Shih Tzu named Trixie that is about 15 years old (yeah I know she’s basically deaf and blind but old girl is still kicking it), and then two cats that we rescued on the side of the road named Stormi & Klondike! I also have chickens & ducks! Let me dogsit your fur baby 🥰 I’m currently working at a private dental office located in Staunton, IL Monday-Thursday. Usually when I dog sit for a family friend or just anyone in general I stay at their house with the dog(s) so they feel comfortable in their own environment. My work hours are as followed; Monday & Thursday: 7-4pm (lunch 12-1pm) Tuesday 8-6pm (lunch 1-2 or 2-3pm) and Wednesday 7-1pm. I am a reliable and a caring person to watch your fur babies! I usually stay at the clients house so the pet is in a familiar environment and won’t get over stimulated. Every dog is different and so I usually meet the clients and/or the dog(s) so they are somewhat familiar with me and aren’t frightened by a stranger while their loved ones are away.

“We couldn't be happier with Brogan! We were away for a long weekend and she looked after our dog, Darla. Brogan sent us lots of pictures, texts, and info on how they were all getting along. It definitely made me feel little to no concern about how things were going back home and I was able to enjoy my trip. Darla is a reactive dog and strong as well. Brogan worked so well with her on the leash and wasn't at all uncomfortable. Lots of communication before we left as well and totally responsible with the house. We're already hoping to book her again! 15 stars!! ☺️”

About: I’ve had animals in my family my whole life! I have two doggies of my own. Beans and Kona. I have watched a lot of other people’s animals throughout my life. Animals are the best thing in this world! Without them life would not be as fun. I have open availability for the most part. I own my own business and thought this would be a fun side job! I’m very responsible and dependable. I am able to watch pets for short or long amounts of time! Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. Each morning, I feed my pets and take them for a walk. Throughout the week, I schedule playtime and grooming sessions, ensuring they stay healthy and happy. Their well-being adds joy and structure to my day-to-day life. I try to stick to their normal routines! I always feel like dogs have a less stressful time when we stick to the stuff they know. If there is something specific you need, I can accommodate!

“Jenny is the absolute BEST!! I was so anxious leaving my babies and she immediately put me at ease. She has been sending me pictures and letting me know how they are doing 3x a day!! She will be missed when we return by our pups!! Thank you Jenny!!”

“When we reached out to AnnaMarie, we quickly set up a time for a meet-and-greet with Tanner. Tanner was a bit nervous about meeting someone new, but he quickly fell in love with AnnaMarie. AnnaMarie was incredible! She was so caring, thoughtful, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order while we were away. We had an amazing time having her as our house and pet sitter. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring house and pet sitter, look no further than AnnaMarie. She’s the best!”

About: I have had all kinds of animals growing up, and I fell in love with caring for them feeding, training, walking, getting them out to do different activities. the heart warming feeling you get when they run to you with there toy and creating a safe, genuine friendship with them is what’s it all about.. My schedule is open, flexible and easy to work with I understand things come up and plans are starting to be made so I am happy to lend a helping hand I am so excited i am currently offering in home care for your furry friend drop ins and walks and more! life gets hectic and it gives me the opportunity to look after your fur baby! I will keep everything nice and tidy and clean throughout the stay and make sure pet doesn't get into anything they shouldn't but with playtime, walks, potty breaks they will probably be napping anyway or getting belly rubs! I take safety trust and environment seriously so staying connected through the whole time is important! Plus ill send photos, videos and stay connected with calls and messages as well as updates for a peace of mind.

About: We have both had dogs for years and have a perfect set up to watch more. We can come to your house or they can come to ours! We both work fully remote! We have two dogs that live spoiled lives and we will be happy to spoil yours too! We're in auburn. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs. One is extremely friendly, the other takes a bit to warm up, but that never takes long.

“Brooke took excellent care of my dogs for almost a week. She was responsive and cared responsibly for my two senior dogs who can be demanding and a bit spoiled. Communication was great and she was the perfect house guest. Will definitely trust Brooke with my dogs next time. She is a thoughtful and caring pet sitter I would highly recommend to friends and family.”
