House Sitting in Doniphan

About: I was born and raised around dogs, there was always at least one if not two in the house with my family. There was Toby the Irish Setter mix, Jenny the cocker mix, Belle the bassett mix, and Sadie the golden mix. And currently living at my parents house is Zoe an elderly yorkie/terrier mix, Coco another yorkie/terrier mix who is about 5 years old, and Pepper a 2.5 year old black lab cattle dog mix. I frequently watch one, two, or all three when my parents go out of town. This includes dispensing medication to Zoe who has a heart condition. I've never met a dog I didn't like or who didn't like me (so far!). I have some instinctual knack when it comes to them. I am currently taking courses through the GoodPup Program so that I will be able to establish and implement a training program for dogs that is reward-based with emphasis on positive (NOT negative) reinforcement. However, even though I'm not fully certified yet, my love, compassion, and self taught knowledge about behavior helps me to quickly understand and determine how to best care for your furbaby. I am content caring for an elderly dog who likes to snooze most of the day and equally content with one who needs lots of exercise. I love to exercise so I can walk as far as your pooch wants me to go. I advocate for all animals when needed. I encourage pet owners not to give up because of a dogs bad behavior but to seek training instead. But the biggest thing comes back to love. They love us unconditionally and I give them the same back. I'm currently available during the day, all day, most days of the week including weekends if needed. I'm a night owl so if you need someone to pop in to let your dog out while you work third shift, I'm the one for you! I can crate your dog if needed and if at your home, and you have a fenced yard, I love throwing balls or toys around for them to fetch and run around.

About: Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a sensitive senior, I bring years of hands-on experience to every sit. My friends and family have relied on me for years to keep their pets safe and happy while they’re away. I’m comfortable managing the specific needs of various species (dogs, cats, parakeets, fish, rodents, rabbits, quail) ensuring your home stays calm and your pets feel loved. My schedule varies and is incredibly flexible. Whether your pup needs a mid-day stroll, your cat needs time-sensitive feedings, your fur babies need late-night cuddles or just someone to keep them company, I can easily accommodate your needs. There is no place like home, and I’m here to ensure your pets stay secure, happy and relaxed in theirs. Whether it's overnight sitting or drop-in visits, I treat your home with the highest level of care and your pets like my own family. You can rest easy knowing I’m never far away and always have time for a belly rub!

About: I care for every pet as if they were my own—whether they have paws, claws, fins, or feathers! With years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I understand that every pet has its own unique personality and needs. I’m skilled in administering medications, supporting senior pets, helping with training routines, and creating calm, loving environments for shy or anxious animals. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I work full-time during the week but make pet care a big part of my daily life. Before and after work, I dedicate time for walks, play, feeding, and cuddles. Evenings and weekends are when I’m fully available for drop-in visits or extended care. Caring for pets is my favorite way to unwind—it brings joy and balance to my week! Whether it’s a quick check-in, a relaxing walk, or some playtime, your pets always get my full attention and love. I care for pets right in their own home, where they feel safest and happiest. By keeping their familiar routines—feeding times, walks, play, and cuddles—I help reduce stress and keep them comfortable while you’re away. I always respect your home and your pet’s space, making sure doors are locked, gates are secure, and everything stays clean and tidy. I treat every home with care and every pet like family—safe, loved, and right where they belong. 🐾💛

About: I have had pets and cared for animals for 15+ years. Have my own pet that travels with me almost every where I go. House is pet safe. I farm and work in rentals. During the winter I have more time care for pets. I work in my office out of my own house during the winter I have my own pet, a small Australian Shepard. She is house broke. At my own home I take pets out by leash as I don’t have a fenced in yard yet. Looking to make money by boarding to fence in back yard for better service.

“Marilyn was simply amazing! She spent tons of time with our babies and took them on adventures. We got ton of updates during our trip so we never had to wonder how they were doing. Very sweet, very respectful. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I love animals, I can get along with all types of dogs, cats, birds, lizards, etc. I have always grew up with having a pet or 2 ! I work mainly on the weekends! Giving me enough time during the week to care for your pets with my full attention, care, love, treats I have a fenced in back yard, I can easily crate your animal (dog, cat, even birds) with cameras to monitor if I step inside for any reason.
