House Sitting In Dixon

“Danielle C was an outstanding pet and house sitter! I could not recommend her more. She communicated with me throughout her stay, sent amazing photos and clearly loved being with my dogs. I can’t wait to have her back :-)”

“Joel has made us feel so comfortable while we’re out of town. He loves and treats our 13 year old Weimaraner like his own. He communicates every day. Thanks Joel for everything!”

About: I've never known life without animals! I've been responsible for pets from a very young age: from gerbils, to cats and dogs, to squirrels and goats, my circle of friends and family have always committed open homes and hearts to furry friends. Every stage of life, every shade of personality, I resolve to provide love, care and accountability. My personal dedication is boosted to professional assurance, as I am a long term caretaker at Mid City Animal House Daycare and Boarding. My part time work schedule is flexible, and I'm almost always in pet care mode since it's what I do! I am available for most services, from dog walking to house sitting, and if your pets would be good roomies with my pets, I am open to boarding on a case-by-case basis! I am comfortable caring for multiple animals at once, and following owners instructions with a keen eye. I am comfortable administering medications, special care instructions (i.e: elderly or special needs animals) and giving walks and baths. I am generally comfortable in unfamiliar places, maintaining a calm energy, respecting property and taking great care to give pets the attention they need in the absence of their owners. If you are interested in boarding with me: I currently provide a loving home to 2 cats and a dog. They are friendly, curious and well socialized with people and other animals. Dot, our boxer-collie, is especially good with dogs, cats and small children. For safety, we are able to easily separate pets either by partitioning/gating off rooms where they can maintain comfort, or utilizing the large dog crate in the front room where your pet will not be sequestered all by themselves, but still have a space they feel secure. I have no allergies, aversions, or phobias. I communicate well and will happily answer questions and provide references.

“Elise was an amazing sitter and house guest! She was communicative and made the first time having to leave my dog for the weekend stress free. My dog loved her.”

“Ian and his partner Anna (which was disclosed to me before booking) did a superior job watching my two pups. Ian was accommodating to my short notice booking request and was even able to squeeze in a last minute meet n greet. I received plenty of updates while I was away and felt totally at ease. I could tell just from the pictures/ updates that the dogs were given plenty of exercise. I came home to a spotless home and happy/ rested pups. 10 stars to Ian, we look forward to booking him again!”

“Elizabeth was great! We went to the beach for a couple of days and she stayed with our puppy. We were hesitant to leave our 3 month old and knew we didn't want to put her at a "pet hotel." We got texts and pictures every day and came home to a happy puppy!”

Jessica B.

“Cheryl did an exceptional job staying at my house with my dog. My dog is acting like I never left, which shows she was comfortable the entire time. Bonus- the house was spotless. Thanks Cheryl!”

Amanda P.

“Joree was super sweet and communicative. Quick responses and very flexible. Left my place looking tidy and with a happy pup to come home to :) Highly recommend and will use again!”

About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I only watch one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re a high energy dog, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.

“Ryan is conscientious, attentive to deal, kind, dog-loving -- he's the whole package!He was a support and trusted advisor to me on our recent trip when our older dog was not doing well. I cannot recommend him any more highly.”

“Martha stayed with our two pups while we were out of the country for a week and a half. She did an amazing job caring for our elderly dog who has some significant health issues. The dogs clearly loved her and were super loving with her. Thank you so much, Martha!”

“Chloe did a fantastic job taking care of my pups! I loved all the photos and updates. They were happy and my home was as clean as I left it. Thank you, Chloe, Cohiba & Ollie look forward to seeing you soon!”

“Jared was such a perfect fit for what I needed. My dogs were carefully taken care of, and very well entertained by him. He kept me in the know of anything with the pups and was very attentive to one that needs a little extra for her anxiety. I would highly recommend Jared to anyone, I will for sure be a repeat!”

Michael B.

“Lydia gets a five star tail wag review from Rex! She was great from start to finish and gave us lots of updates and pics! It was our first experience using Rover and we feel very fortunate that Lydia was available and flexible. She connected with Rex quickly and he was happy to have her company! Thank you, Lydia!”

“Karen went above and beyond while house sitting for our dog Bella. Bella was given loads of attention, the plants watered, house in order and great communication while we were away. Fantastic, I will definitely request Karen’s care again.❤️”

“Stacy is amazing! She did an in-home stay with our dog who was very comfortable around her. She was responsive, sent us daily updates of our dog, and left our house tidy. In addition, she was incredibly flexible and helpful when we had an unexpected change in our plans. We will be reaching out to Stacy for sitting in the future and 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible sitter!”

Emma O.

“Anna did a great job taking care of our pup and watching the house when we were gone. She was very responsive and gave me updates throughout our trip. She did a great job!”

Caroline M.

“Alyssa was perfect for Daisy. She brought her chiweenie Oliver with her and Daisy loved it. Alyssa was thorough and communicative the entire time we were gone. She is a natural pet sitter. We will definitely call upon her again for upcoming trips.”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Deana! She was so wonderful with our very, very quirky dachshund who was sick with pneumonia, and equally as wonderful with our very shy cat. She was also so incredibly responsive and reliable. She picked up meds at the vet, and made sure they both got everything they needed. She also had to deal with a water leak in our apartment and was on top of everything, and overall just very respectful of our space. She is the absolute best house sitter we have ever had, and she is truly amazing. Thank you Deana 🙏🙏🙏”
