House Sitting in Cottondale

“Jennifer stayed with our two medium-large dogs for 8 days and they had a ball! She sent lots of cute pictures of them on long walks and eating treats. She was very responsive and it made me so happy to know our girls were in great hands. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Gaby was wonderful. She took care of our 3 dogs in our home for a week. The dogs loved her and they all met their activity goals each day. We will definitely use her again if we need a sitter.”

“Recommendation: Janine Sander's dog sitting services are exactly what you are looking for – someone who does this work out of passion rather than financial motivations. I would trust my pets to Jannine having known her to rescue abandoned, feral dogs, who didn't stand a chance behaviorally or physically. She e-a-r-n-e-d their trust through patience and endurance. The scared, untrusting and overly protective dog is today a model pet. If the dog whisperer could have witnessed this, he's stop whispering and start shouting Janine's praises from the rooftops of his doghouses. Janine is extremely competent, responsible, and caring. Consider yourself fortunate to have found Janine and her services.”

“Our previous Rover sitter that stayed in our home moved. It always makes me nervous trying to find someone you can trust to stay in our home with your dogs. I always look to family first but they were not available since it was a long trip. Tatianna was wonderful. She took care of our 3 dogs in our home for an entire week while we were out of the country. I asked her to make sure she didn’t leave them over 4 hours alone and she did that. She gave them their meds, fed our fish, and got the mail in for us. She went beyond by making sure the kitchen stayed clean, washed the sheets and towels that she used and remade the bed for us before we got home. I will be using her again when I need a sitter.”

“Jill was outstanding! We received several pictures and updates on how things were going during our absence. All of our babies (one dog and three cats) were well taken care of and happy. Our home was spotless upon our return and she even checked in to make sure everything was left ok. Not once did we have to worry or be concerned about anything while we were gone. We highly recommend Jill - she'll do a fantastic job pet/house sitting for you. We definitely plan on using her again the next chance we have!”

“Sarina has a great love and compassion for animals. She has rescued several dogs and cats from tough situations. Sarina is professional and friendly. She will care for your pets as she would her own.”

“My dog Oakley is my literal whole world. Madeline has watched Oakley many times and has became one of Oakleys favorite people. Oakley has a very strict diet and Madeline has helped make sure her needs are met every time. Oakley is also a very picky dog and doesn’t always like many people but Madeline has connected with her. She also has 2 dogs of her own that she takes extraordinary care of. I definitely recommend Madeline as a pet sitter for others as well!”

“Terri was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! I’ve not seen my puppies that happy while we were out of town! She sent photos and text with updates throughout the day. Can’t remember the last time I was able to relax on a vacation not having to worry about my doggies and who was caring for them! We will definitely use her again!”

“Is there an option for 100 stars?!? Celeste is a gem! She stayed with our two Pyrenees for 8 days and we never worried about a thing. We got pictures/videos every day and could see that our puppers were happy and well cared for. Celeste kept the house clean and kept the puppers even cleaner! We could tell she had brushed and groomed them throughout the week. She is also a talented artist and left a drawing of the puppers on our fridge. We highly recommend Celeste to care for your fur babies ♡”

“Ashley is an animal lover through and through. She takes the time to love on them and give them attention when owners are away. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had a deep fondness for animals regardless of their species, shape or size for as long as I can remember. My adoration for them is profound, and I hold them dear to my heart. Throughout my life I have owned animals myself, volunteered at a few shelters and at one point, a zoo. I have gained extensive experience in caring for animals and find great joy in doing so. I’m a cat mom who currently stays at home, I will have ample time to devote to your pet. You can rest assured that they will receive all the love and care they require. I am highly attentive to your pet’s activities and needs, ensuring that they are watched over at all times. I have two very gentle cats, they have not had much interaction with dogs or other cats. Therefore, for safety reasons, I won’t force them to interact.

“Just can't say enough for how well Margaret did taking care of our German Shepard, Sam. She sent plenty of updates about how Sam was enjoying himself and really seemed to get along with her dog. I was a little reluctant to leave him with strangers, but he didn't seem to want to come home, as he was having so much fun.”

“Jennifer has always been great with my two dogs. My shepherd is very shy and cautious with new ppl, but took to Jennifer right away and now they are buddies! I trust her with my pets completely.”

About: I have over a decade of dog ownership under my belt and a passion for our four-legged friends. Beyond the love and companionship I've shared with my own dog, I've extended my expertise to assist friends, family, and neighbors with their dogs. Trusted by those in my community, I've taken on roles as a dog walker, sitter, and caregiver for countless canine companions. My track record of reliability, trustworthiness, and a friendly demeanor has not only earned the loyalty of the dogs I care for but also the appreciation and trust of their owners. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the park, an extended stay filled with playtime and cuddles, or simply making sure they're well-fed and comfortable, I take pride in going the extra mile to ensure that dogs in my care are happy, healthy, and loved. I am currently in school, but all of my classes are online so I have a flexible schedule. I am available Monday - Friday from 8:00am - 3:00pm. Dog Walking: For dog walking, I ensure that safety comes first. I choose routes that are familiar and well-suited for dogs, avoiding busy streets and potential hazards. Each dog is securely leashed, and I use appropriate harnesses or collars to prevent any discomfort or injury. Trust is established through consistent and gentle handling. I maintain a calm and friendly demeanor, ensuring the dogs feel at ease during our walks. Environmental considerations include checking the weather conditions to ensure the dogs are comfortable and adjusting the duration and pace of walks accordingly. Daily Check-Ins: During daily check-ins, I ensure that the pet's basic needs are met, including feeding, providing fresh water, and cleaning up any messes. Trust is established by maintaining consistent visit times and communication with pet owners. I offer companionship and affection during these brief visits. Safety is maintained by securing the home environment, ensuring doors and gates are properly closed, and checking for any signs of distress or illness. Environmental considerations involve creating a pleasant atmosphere for the pet, ensuring they have access to their favorite toys or comforts. In-Home Pet Sitting: When caring for pets in my client's home, I strive to replicate their familiar environment as closely as possible. This includes adhering to established routines, feeding schedules, and exercise regimens. Trust is built through open communication with the pet owners. I maintain regular updates and ensure that any special requirements or concerns are addressed promptly. Safety in the home is a priority. I make sure that the surroundings are pet-proofed, removing any potential hazards or harmful substances. Environmental considerations involve maintaining a comfortable temperature, ensuring access to fresh water, and providing ample playtime and companionship.

About: Hi, I’m Makayla! I love all animals and would love the opportunity to meet other pets! I love being active, so walking dogs would just be an added bonus. I have had a mixed 30 lb. dog for 15 years and have cared for her throughout college and medical school. My dog loves walking and running after sticks and sitting outside on a nice day. She is now a senior dog so I am comfortable with animals of all ages. I also have had two cats and love to play or snuggle with your pets. I would take your pets out for a long, active walk and allow them to have enough outside time. I will give them extra play time and snuggles. I am happy to give you every sense of comfort while I am taking care of your pet, as they are basically part of your family. Please feel free to ask and I will make sure everything is just as you would want it for your pet! Thank you! I am a medical student who basically studies all day, so I am always available to take a break and walk and entertain your pups or play with your cats! I have a fenced in yard with no stairs so it is easily accessible yard for all ages of pets. I also have a flat, well maintained neighborhood perfect for walking dogs.

“She's very kind and considerate of all animals. Very patient and kind with them. She's amazing with pets. Always put their well-being first in any situation.”

“Lyndsay was so good for Marley! She treated her like her own, taking her to the dog park multiple times during her stay! We will absolutely use her again when we are away!”

About: Hi! My name is Lydia! I would love to walk your fur babies! I have been pet sitting/walking my whole life. I love going on hiking trails and adventures with my own dog. I can cat/dog sit at your house, drop in to feed or play for a few minutes, or go on long walks! What ever you would like! I am open to doing light house work or errands while I am watching your pet! Please let me know if you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer! I’m currently working part time and am looking to make some extra money in the mean time! I figured why not do what I love in the process! I have a fenced in yard and a puppy myself. Taking care of her and my family dog are things I do on a daily basis.

“Very pleased”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a child. We have always had family pets. I started branching out more at about 10 when I started taking care of friends, family, and neighbors’ pets. I currently work full time with a lunch break whenever I need to take one allowing me to go to a clients house to care for their pets. I am also off on weekends. I take them for walks and play with them. I also make sure to give them lots of love and a treat or two depending on the clients wishes. If requested I am also able to bathe their pests upon request.
