House Sitting Douglas High School

About: I grew up on a farm in NC surrounded by animals, and dogs have always been a big part of my life. Caring for pets comes naturally to me, and I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and needs. I recently moved to Lexington with my husband, who is a veterinarian, which has given me an even greater appreciation for pet health and well-being. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior needing extra patience, or somewhere in between, I'll provide attentive, reliable care while you're away! I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or simply providing companionship, I follow each owner's instructions closely and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. As a pet owner myself to an 11½-year-old Maltipoo, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family member.

“DeAnna was very responsive and easy to work with. Thanks for watching the pups! We have a couple more sits booked with her and it’s nice to know they will be cared for while I’m gone.”

“Sarah was great with our chihuahua! He warmed up quickly even though he is nervous around new people. Sarah sent daily updates and picture and was so very nice.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kylie watched my dogs and stayed at my home for a week, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My dogs were so comfortable and content when I returned because she made sure they never felt alone while I was away. She clearly gave them so much love, attention, and care. She also took wonderful care of my home. Everything was clean, organized, and exactly as I left it. During the week, an unexpected water issue came up, and Kylie handled it with grace, professionalism, and excellent communication, seeing it through until everything was resolved. Kylie is dependable, caring, professional, and genuinely goes above and beyond. I am extremely happy with her services and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”

“We had to quickly find someone to help us with an overnight after our dog was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and couldn’t go to his normal place. We ended up finding Emelyn who was willing to take care of the other two dogs plus our sick pup who needed meds. She was communicative, kind and took great care of our pack. The dogs seemed to be way more at ease in their home plus I got pictures which made us know they were being well taken care of.”

About: I was certified as a vet assistant at 17. Currently in Vet tech school & expected to graduate 2027. I have 2 friendly dogs of my own :) I am available on the weekends, I keep pets on a consistent schedule to ensure all of their needs are met including feeding, enrichment, & exercise. I treat every animal as if they’re my own. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable & happy. I follow the owner’s instructions and also giving them attention and care while they’re in my care.

“Misty was great and Luna was safe and secure, happy and healthy when I arrived home. Finding a dog sitter on Memorial Day seemed like an impossible request so imagine my surprise when she accepted, arrived and did a great job. I highly recommend her!”

“Cadence was a great sitter! She was very responsive and kept in touch while I was gone with updates and pictures. Came home to a happy pup! Will definitely use her again.”

“Angelee is the best! She made our first time leaving our dog, Charlie, with a sitter a breeze and she will be our first call for all future pet sitting needs! We came home to a spotless house (with a washed and made guest bed even!), received frequent updates while we were gone, and never once worried about Charlie while he was in her care. She is communicative, prompt, so friendly, and clearly loves animals. Angelee worked to keep Charlie’s routine and environment consistent while we were away. Charlie got lots of walks and playtime. He clearly loved Angelee as he was looking for her in our guest room after we got home! It is such a relief to find someone who you can trust with your pet and your home. Angelee goes above and beyond! Cannot recommend her highly enough!!”

About: I've been caring for pets for over 8 years through family, friends, and by helping manage my sister's Rover clients. During that time, I've gained experience with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and care needs. One of my greatest strengths is working with senior pets. I helped care for and train my own dogs throughout their lives, including into their senior years at ages 15 and 17. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of maintaining routines, monitoring health, and providing gentle, loving care. I also have experience caring for pets that require intensive monitoring and strict medication schedules. I understand how important consistency is when a pet has medical, age-related, or special needs, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications as directed, and keeping a close eye on any changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I've assisted with dog sitting, cat sitting, and house sitting for family, friends, and Rover clients. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets and homes are in trustworthy hands. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, companionship, specialized care, or simply a calm and caring presence, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind during your time away. I am currently in graduate school, which gives me a flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I am only in class for a few hours each day, so I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, check-ins, feeding, and companionship. In addition to my weekday availability, I am completely free on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This allows me to take on weekend house sitting, extended stays, and more flexible scheduling needs without conflict. Overall, my routine makes it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care and attention to pets during both weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine above all else. I understand that pets feel most secure in their familiar environment, so I focus on maintaining their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I am experienced with house sitting, dog sitting, cat sitting, walks, and drop-in visits, and I approach each service with the same level of responsibility and care. I make sure doors are secured, leashes are always used properly on walks, and pets are never left in unsafe situations. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice any changes or concerns. In addition, I respect my clients’ homes and treat them with care and professionalism. I keep spaces clean, follow all instructions carefully, and ensure everything is left just as I found it. My goal is to provide peace of mind by creating a safe, trustworthy, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

About: Since I was 15, I have taken care of neighbors pets and my own! I have had chickens, fish, hamsters, dogs, and currently have a cat of my own! I am available this whole month! I do have another job so I will need to know in advanced when I’m needed! I should be available most days. I am very respectful towards homes and would never leave it without making sure it’s tidy and clean up any accidents that could happen, I also am very communicative!

“Holly was the best while watching my dog Chloe. She sent me great photos of her while I was away and I never doubted holly for a second. She even made sure I made it home from my trip safely. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future”

“Morgan was fantastic. She went above and beyond for our precious Bailey. We appreciated her and welcomed her to Watch our pet again.”

David P.

“Very happy with Joni’s care of Finn & Evie. She may have taken too good of care of them, lol, cause Finn wasn’t as excited to see me as I expected he would be. But that’s a good thing. Would definitely have Joni watch them again.”

Melody P.

“Mackenna was amazing with my Australian Shepherd while I was on vacation. From the moment they met, he was totally at ease with her, which isn’t always the case with him. She sent me regular updates, which I really appreciated, and communication was super easy the whole time. Knowing he was in such good hands made it so much easier to actually relax and enjoy my trip. You can tell she genuinely cares, and that made all the difference. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust!”

Austin T.

“Hannah did an outstanding job watching my dogs at my home for a couple nights. Her communication and updates throughout her stay were outstanding. She went up and beyond to make sure the house was in better shape than when it was left. My dog’s really enjoyed her. I would definitely recommend Hannah.”

About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over a decade. I am comfortable with all ages of animals and can administer medication, as needed. Comfortable walking a variety of sizes and ages with a collar or harness. Most of my dogsitting experience has been with senior dogs so I am happy to accommodate their special needs. I work full time but have a remote position, allowing for dog and cat sitting at guest’s house - and I’ll be home all day! I am also available for walks and drop ins. I will follow all instructions, as presented. Whatever your pet’s personal quirks may be, I’m ready to meet their needs. I am happy to maintain their normal routine.

“Dina was great! Very responsive, send pictures, and updates. Never would have know she was at the house, took great care of everything. Dogs loved her and were happy and healthy when we returned. Such a relief to have her so we could take a weekend off. Highly recommend!”

“Elizabeth was great! I got loads of pictures and updates while I was gone. She made me feel more comfortable leaving my little guy for a week!”
