House Sitting Dales

“Shannon - can’t thank you enough for caring for Abby this past weekend. So glad we met! Abby was so content when we came home. I’ll send you some more dates :). Highly recommend Shannon to care for your fur babies - great communication and sharing while we we’re away.”

About: For the past 10 years of my life, I have cared for multiple different breeds and sizes of dogs ranging from 5 pounds to 100 pounds. I give the upmost care possible to ensure that all dogs are happy, healthy, and having fun. I have experience, caring for senior dogs as well as different energy levels. Under whatever level of care you require, you will come back to a happy pet and a safe home. I currently work part-time between 20 and 30 hours a week but I have a very flexible schedule, and I am free for most of the day and night. I’m currently saving money to be able to go to university in one to two years so during my time in your house I’ll most likely be studying or knitting as a way to decompress after work. I’m dedicated to safety and comfort of pets and owners so as long as I have instructions and a quick conversation, I will be able to follow any guidelines you set for me. I do have experience caring for senior dogs and will be able to follow a medication schedule if needed.

About: I have worked as a detection dog handler and gun dog handler for a few years now. I have also trained my own dog to complete multiple tasks for different purposes. I know how to get your pup tired mentally and physically while having fun and have the patience necessary to help them learn new tricks and become familiar with a new place! I have a flexible work schedule so rest assured that your pup will get plenty of exercise and will play fun games throughout the day! I also live very close to a fenced tennis court (if your pup is into tennis balls and fetching) and a fenced park with soccer fields. I provide a safe and clean environment with a fenced yard and a friendly and playful dog to keep your pup company. I have an extra crate (size XL) if your pup is crated-trained. I also have lots of room to accommodate your own crate inside my living room. I have a doggie treadmill (Dog Trotter USA Inc), which we use to keep our dog active during very hot weather, and can use for your pup as well if interested! I always follow the owner’s instructions closely. Dogs are never unattended for long periods of time, and I always monitor them to make sure they’re feeling safe and comfortable at all times.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I have loved all my dogs even though they are all unique in their own way. Ive been a part of a dog rescue in montana for stray and unwanted dogs. If you choose me as your pet sitter you will not only get quality care but your dogs will be loved and treated as if they're one of mine. My house has stable income as my wife is a medical provider, so not looking to make a killing doing this. I would just like to enjoy doin something and just so happened to get paid for it. I have a excellent background as I was law enforcement the last 15 years. Thanks for viewing my profile and and I hope to hear from you soon. I also give pictures and info to the owners throughout the stay.

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, horses, and farm animals. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, maintaining enclosures, and adapting to each animal’s unique temperament and needs. My approach is calm, patient, and attentive. I prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication. Whether it’s high-energy pets or more sensitive animals, I provide consistent, dependable care and treat every animal as if they were my own. I work from home and structure my days around caring for animals, so your pet won’t be an afterthought, they’ll be part of my routine. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and boarding with flexible scheduling. My mornings and evenings are consistent, and I make sure pets receive attention, exercise, and calm companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm home environment and follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and house rules closely. I’m attentive to body language and energy shifts, especially with shy or anxious pets. Whether in my home or yours, I respect routines and create a stable, low-stress space where animals feel secure.

“Melissa was great! She watched our new puppy Bacall and our other dog Bogey. She was always communicating and sending pics and videos of our doggies. We loved her so much that she is going to be checking on our doggies while we are at work.”

Maria R.

“My dog is a needy shepherd mix, and is only two years old. Every picture that Jessica sent to me was of a happy, satisfied pup- and that is no easy feat. If she can handle my dog, she can easily wrangle yours. Five stars!”

Shelby B.

“She was the best for my animals. My dog smiled non stop and my animals were safe!!! I recommend her to everyone I have a chance to.”

Natasha H.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats for family and friends. I work with animals that are in need of any extra special care as well. This routine fits in my schedule because I have school and in my off time I don’t have much to do so taking care of animals helps when I’m not studying! In the client's home, I follow their instructions for how to care for their pet, and make sure to give the pet lots of love and attention while they are away.

“Amazing Syd took care of my four dogs and my house was clean when we came back home. Definitely recommend her to watch you’re house and pups.”

Kendra S.

“Thanks so much for taking care of my sweet senior pup. Great communication and I really appreciated all of the pictures. I will definitely book again”

Katelyn G.

“Anne was amazingly attentive to our pups and sent regular updates on how everyone was doing. She was an amazing house guest. Can’t wait to have her again!”

About: Caring for your beloved pets isn’t just a job for me it’s my passion! I go beyond simply feeding and walking; I create a loving, stress free environment where your pets feel safe, happy, and adored. What sets me apart is my personalized approach I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, personality, and routine, ensuring they feel right at home even when you’re away. With endless patience, genuine affection, and years of experience, I treat every furry friend like family. When you entrust me with your pets, you’re not just hiring a sitter you’re gaining someone who loves and cares for them as much as you do! Hi there! I’m a full time student working towards my nursing degree, driven by my passion for helping others. When I’m not studying, you can find me at Dutch Bros, one of the most social and upbeat places, where I thrive in connecting with people and spreading positivity. I’m super friendly, approachable, and always excited to meet new faces whether they’re humans or furry friends! Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. In my home, I create a pet-friendly space that is clean, secure, and free of hazards. I ensure pets have access to fresh water, cozy areas for rest, and plenty of room to play. I stick to their routines, including feeding, exercise, and medication schedules, to provide consistency and comfort. In my client’s home, I respect their space while maintaining the highest level of care for their pets. I follow all provided instructions to the letter, ensuring your pets feel safe in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s well being is my priority.

About: Hi! I provide long-term, in-home house and pet sitting across the U.S. for homeowners who want their space handled consistently—not checked on, but actually lived in and maintained. I specialize in 1+ week stays and travel intentionally for sits, so I’m not juggling multiple local clients or rushing in and out. When I’m booked, your home is my focus. I work with residential homes and household pets only (no farms or large animals). I've done my time - hay is not my friend. Services: Long-term, in-home house sitting (2+ weeks minimum, negotiable if you're near the prior site) Overnight pet care (dogs, cats, household pets) Daily routines: feeding, medications, walks, litter Home care: mail, plants, trash, light cleaning, upkeep Full-time presence to maintain a lived-in, secure home This is not drop-in care—this is full coverage while you’re away. Experiance: I grew up on a hobby farm, so responsibility and animal care were part of everyday life early on. Now, I focus specifically on home environments and household pets, not farm or livestock care. My background in running businesses and managing operations means I’m organized, detail-aware, and dependable—especially in environments that require trust and consistency. I adapt quickly to new homes and follow established routines closely. Why should I hire you? Because I’m built for this type of arrangement. I travel specifically for longer sits—your home isn rarely one of several stops I don’t need supervision or micromanaging I communicate clearly and consistently - there might even be some pet pictures in your phone :) I handle issues calmly and practically You’re not coordinating with a sitter—you’re handing off your home to someone who can run it. Any special qualifications or training? Strong independent decision-making Comfortable managing homes solo for extended periods High attention to detail and respect for personal spaces Calm, steady, and reliable I’m also comfortable learning specific pet routines, medications, or household preferences. What’s your availability? North America availability Minimum stay: 2 weeks Open to extended and repeat sits Travel-ready and flexible with advance notice Once booked, I commit fully to that stay. Personality / Fit I’m calm, observant, and self-sufficient. Not high-drama, not flaky. Best fit: Homeowners traveling for extended periods People who want consistency without micromanaging I also work with executives who are in and out and need a temporary house guest (under 6 months) Not a fit: Less than 10 days Farms, livestock, or horse care (this can possibly be vaived with a conversation - I am very familar with animals) Your home stays in order, and your pets get real attention—not just care. I provide steady, full-time presence in your home. As a digital nomad, I work remotely, which means your pets aren’t left alone for long stretches and their routines stay consistent. I’m not rotating between clients or dropping in—I’m there, living in the space and keeping things running normally. I grew up around a wide mix of animals, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Some pets want constant attention, some want space, and some need structure—I meet them where they are and follow your routines closely, including feeding, medications, and daily habits. I also enjoy being outdoors, so walking dogs and getting animals outside is a natural part of the day, as long as that aligns with what they’re used to. It’s not forced—it’s just part of how I operate. You can expect a calm, low-drama environment. I tend to be observant and consistent, which animals respond well to. I’ll keep communication clear and reasonable—updates and photos as agreed—without overwhelming you while you’re away. Your home will be respected and maintained. I keep things clean, organized, and handled like they matter. And beyond all of that, I genuinely enjoy animals. This is how I get my “pet fix” while traveling, so I’m not just checking boxes—I actually like spending time with your pets. Your pets are the priority while you’re away. I keep a close, consistent eye on them and pay attention to small changes in behavior, appetite, or energy so issues are caught early, not after they’ve escalated. I maintain a calm, predictable environment and follow your routines closely to reduce stress and keep things stable. I’m comfortable handling medications and will administer them exactly as instructed, whether that’s daily dosing, timed schedules, or more specific routines. If something feels off, I act quickly and communicate clearly—using your preferred vet, emergency contacts, and instructions. It's also important for you to know that I grew up in a rural (farm) envirnment. and other animals are on the table - currently watching a home with 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 goats and 9 chickens. Haying and watering are fine, but I don't feel capable of cow milking, horse riding, etc. You can expect a steady, attentive presence focused on keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time you’re gone.

About: I have a lifetime of farm life! I have helped care for many sweet dogs, cats, donkeys, horses, goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys, guinea hens, reptiles, birds and more! I work with integrity and I communicate very well. I'm well rounded in my experiences and qualities provided. I'm confident I can meet anyone's needs as far as great animal care. You'll see many photos i've posted of my sweet white lab-wolf mix, she passed away two years ago. Hank my youngest sons sweet boxer passed away just about five months ago. Losing our family members has been very hard. Taking care of pets has filled my heart with healing love and energy. Pet care is a full time job. I schedule my weeks accordingly. I keep my calendar flexible and I can usually meet anyone's pet needs for the day. I will schedule to meet you and we can walk through the routine your pet needs in your home. I am flexible and can take pets in my car if needed. I'll follow instructions as given and make sure safety is my first choice.

About: I have raised animals all my life and I’ve worked at my college farm for a semester, I have worked in the local animal shelter… I’m a college student going towards agriculture trades and my AS in science. I’m available whenever. I’m starting summer classes soon but I’ll make time I give them love, clean up after them, walk them, play with them, take care of them, safe environment, keep up with their training etc

About: I’ve always had dogs and have spent my life caring for them as part of my family. In addition to dogs, I also have experience caring for horses, a macaw, and a turtle, so I’m very comfortable around animals of all sizes and personalities. I’m a big animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I already structure my days around caring for animals, feeding, exercise, enrichment, and check-ins are part of my normal schedule. I’m used to planning my time around animals’ needs, whether that’s walks, playtime, medications, or just companionship, so adding pet sitting feels seamless rather than disruptive. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, along with a safe, clean environment. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

“Fantastic and trustworthy!”

About: I have watched, walked and taken care of several different types of dogs and cats over the years for family, friends and neighbors. I am reliable and will care for your loved furry family member as if it was my own. I work full time but am partly remote and have flexibility to stop by during the day and am available mornings, evenings and most weekends. I am respectful of your space and home when taking of your animal and only go in areas where I need to take care of them.
