House Sitting Dawson

“Christine is the best! We were gone for 6 days, and she handled all of our dogs quirky and lovable obsessions. Also we had an unusual home and yard issue which she helped us with. House was just like we left it but, “a much happier place when we returned. A lot of dog loving going on. Jinx , our 16 yr old border collie told us she will miss her until the next time.”

“It was great to have Paula stay with my 2 kitty cats! Paula was responsible, responsive and just a really nice person. Kept me informed, sent me photos every day, and left the house clean and the cats chill and happy! Highly recommend Paula!”

“Ana was so great with my high energy pup Izzie! She was extremely responsive and sent many updates and photos throughout the time she stayed at my place.”

“We’re new to town, and it’s always a little nerve-racking finding someone new to watch your baby. I’m so grateful we found Woody to watch our dog Woody (meant to be, right!?) in our home. I’m a pretty nervous pet parent, but Woody made me feel totally at ease from the start and took such great care of our boy. The updates and photos were perfect, and I knew both Woody and our home were in great hands. Highly recommend, and we look forward to booking with Woody again!”

About: I’m Jacob, a full time nurse, looking for a side hustle to help pay off my student loans :) If you trust me with your pet(s) I will make them my top priority. I will shower them with attention, and take lots of pictures to update you with about our day. I work 3 days a week. I have plenty of free time during the week for your pet’s needs. It would be such a fulfilling past time for me to care for your animals. I live alone in a quiet apartment with no other animals. There’s a good amount of space. Quick and easy walk to the trail around lady bird lake.

“Ras is awesome to work with! She is responsive and flexible. It was clear during our meet and greet and her messages while spending time with my pups that she has experience in working with all types of dogs and I feel confident in her ability to take great care of them. I look forward to continuing to work with her!”

About: Leaving your pet behind is never easy, especially when they are older, need medication, or are happiest with a calm routine and a little extra attention. After spending 17 years with my own two dogs and caring for them through their senior years, I understand how important patience, consistency, and noticing the little things can be. Hi, I’m Kat. I’m a remote professional, artist, photographer, lifelong animal lover, and pet momma of 17 years who is now sharing that same care with other families. Animals have always been part of my life. I grew up in the country, where my family raised cows and we always had cats and dogs around. During my earliest years, we also had chickens and ducks, and because my dad was a science teacher, the classroom ferret even spent summer breaks at our house. Being surrounded by so many different animals taught me early on that each one has its own personality, routine, and way of communicating. Later, I became a pet mom to two very spunky Chihuahuas who were by my side for 17 years. I experienced every stage of their lives, from their energetic younger years to becoming seniors who needed extra patience and care. Along the way, I gained firsthand experience with medication schedules, mobility changes, veterinary appointments, cancer treatment, and the everyday adjustments that come with helping an aging pet stay comfortable. Now that my home is a little quieter, caring for other people’s pets feels like a natural next chapter. I know how important it is to find someone who will notice the little things, respect your pet’s routine, and care for them as the individual they are. Work-From-Home Companionship: One of the biggest advantages I offer is that I work remotely from home. Your pet will have a consistent companion for most of the day rather than someone simply stopping in and out. Some pets enjoy curling up nearby while I work. Others prefer backyard breaks, walks, playtime, or simply knowing someone is close. I am happy to follow their lead and plan the day around their usual routine. A typical day may include breakfast, a morning walk, time to relax while I work, regular potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, afternoon cuddles, dinner, and another walk or quiet time in the evening. Long-term stays are welcome. Before each booking, we can discuss your pet’s normal schedule, how much companionship they are used to, and their comfort level with alone time so I can plan around their individual needs. Boarding in My Home: I want visiting pets to feel like they are staying with family rather than in a kennel. My home has a private backyard for frequent potty breaks, safe neighborhood walking paths, and nearby dog parks for dogs who enjoy them, with your approval. I provide clean beds, blankets, and toys for visiting pets. Everything is washed and cleaned before and after each stay. Well-trained pets are welcome on the furniture and bed when that matches their normal routine at home. Keeping familiar habits in place can help them settle in and feel more comfortable. For added peace of mind, I live approximately five to eight minutes from VEG Emergency Veterinary Group and Modern Animal should veterinary care ever be needed. House Sitting in Your Home: Some pets are happiest in their own environment, and I am happy to come to them. I will carefully follow your instructions for meals, walks, medications, potty breaks, bedtime, playtime, household security, and any agreed-upon home-care needs. Because I work remotely, I can spend much of the day in your home with your pets instead of simply coming and going. I am also a devoted plant mom, so if you have indoor plants, raised beds, or a garden that needs watering while you are away, we can discuss that as part of the stay. I will treat your home with care and respect and leave the spaces I use clean and orderly. Senior and Special-Care Experience: Senior pets have a special place in my heart. I understand that older pets may need a slower pace, more frequent potty breaks, gentler walks, medication, help getting comfortable, or simply a calm person nearby. I am comfortable caring for senior dogs and cats, puppies and adult dogs, small and large breeds, pets requiring oral medication, pets with detailed feeding or care schedules, pets receiving ongoing veterinary treatment, pets with reduced mobility, shy or cautious animals, pets with separation anxiety, and multi-pet households. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, mobility, bathroom habits, and behavior and will contact you promptly if I notice anything unusual. Regular Updates and Plenty of Photos: You will receive regular updates and plenty of photos throughout your pet’s stay so you can see how they are eating, resting, walking, playing, and settling in. As a photographer, I naturally enjoy capturing the expressions and little moments that show off each pet’s personality. Before We Book: When possible, prefer to arrange a meet-and-greet before accepting a new boarding or house-sitting client. This gives us time to discuss your pet’s personality, routine, health, house training, walking habits, medication needs, comfort with alone time, and emergency information. If last minute and pressed for time, FaceTime calls are welcome. Every pet is different, and I want to make sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you are away. Whether your dog loves a lively walk, prefers a slow stroll, or simply wants a cozy place to nap nearby while I work, I will care for them with patience, attention, and respect for the routine they already know. Because I work remotely, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am home for most of the day and can provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, medication, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I plan my schedule around each pet’s usual routine so their days feel familiar, comfortable, and consistent. I care for each pet according to their normal routine, comfort level, and individual needs. In my home, pets have access to a private backyard, clean beds and blankets, nearby walking paths, and plenty of supervised time with me. I keep doors and gates secure, follow all feeding and medication instructions carefully, and never take pets to a dog park without permission. When house sitting, I treat both your pet and your home with care and respect. I follow your instructions closely, maintain household security, keep the spaces I use clean, and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Since I can't have a pet of my own right now, I love treating every dog and cat I meet like family. 🐾💕 I absolutely love spending time with animals, and caring for them is one of my favorite things. I have a flexible part-time schedule, so when I'm not practicing volleyball, I'd much rather be hanging out with your furry bestie! Whether it's walks, playtime, or cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. And of course, you'll get plenty of photo updates because I know you'll miss them! 🤍 I have a very flexible schedule! I train in the mornings on weekdays, so I'm available for drop-in visits before and after practice. My evenings and weekends are generally open, making it easy to accommodate walks, house sitting, and quality time with your pets. I know every pet is different, so I love having detailed instructions! A consistent routine and an organized environment help me provide the best care possible. I'll carefully follow your feeding schedule, walk routine, medication instructions, and any other preferences so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and right at home. I'm happy to care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stick to the routine they know best. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible

“Jena did a wonderful job taking care of my two goldens and two kitties while I was gone for a week. I had total peace of mind while enjoying my vacation knowing everybody was happy in their own house. Jena also kept my plants watered and saved a package of mine from the mailbox during this 105 degree weather. Will definitely seek her out again when I want to leave town!”

“Melissa was GREAT! She was so helpful, friendly, and always responsive. She sent us pictures of our pets while we were away. (Which helped because we missed them so much!) We came home to a happy household. She was so good, we have booked her for our next trip! Thanks Melissa!”
