House Sitting in Downs

“It is really hard to trust your home and pets to someone you don't know. Kevin did such a great job and it was a first for us in having a sitter who didn't hesitate to communicate. Updates, questions, photos. The house was in such great condition when we got back too -- our dogs create fur clouds fast and he vacuumed them up before we got home. There was no sign someone else had basically been living in it, and in similar condition to when we left. Most important, the animals didn't act like we had been gone. No pouting or anxiety. Thank you so much Kevin!”

“Javier did a great job with our pets! He was also very flexible and accommodating when our plans changed. We would definitely book him again 😊”

Building trust and comfort is my number one goal.

About: I've taken care of dogs for almost my whole life! I am working on becoming a certified dog trainer and currently work at a doggy daycare facility. I have worked with all breeds and take care of them as if they're my own! I'm currently working part-time at a doggy daycare facility which makes me completely avaible for Thursday, Friday and Saturday I am also avaiable on Sundays after 4:30pm and Mon-Wed after 6:30pm I make sure all their needs are met lots of pkay time and loves and of course potty breaks! Love to go for long walks to get those paws stepping and have a tired pup once you're home!

“Christopher took great care of my dog and sent lots of pictures. I had a water leak a couple days before I was leaving and was great about being there for maintenance to come while I was gone”

“Alyssa cared for our cat, Mocha, for two days and stayed overnight at our home. This was our first time leaving Mocha for an extended period and using a cat sitter, so we were a little nervous but Alyssa put our minds at ease. It was clear that Mocha was comfortable with her—she continued eating, playing, and sleeping normally throughout the weekend. She even seemed to enjoy some in-depth conversations with Alyssa! We received regular updates and photos, which helped us feel connected and reassured while we were away. Alyssa also left our home neat and tidy. Overall, she did a fantastic job caring for both Mocha and our house. We would book with Alyssa again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Lyra was kind, soft spoken, reliable, friendly and took great care of our big boy. She stayed with in at our home and left our house as clean as she found it. We highly recommend her!”

“River is the best! She took exceptional care of our 80-pound Chesapeake Bay Retriever for two weeks and truly went above and beyond by keeping our hummingbird feeders filled while we were away. We came home to a spotless house and a very happy dog. Her communication was excellent throughout—always quick, responsive, and reassuring. We highly recommend River and hope to have her care for our dog again soon!”

About: We are a dog loving family and have one dog named Link who loves to make new friends. When going out of town, we've struggled to find many places that will treat Link how we would and make him part of the family, this inspired us to provide this for other families and dogs. There will typically be someone home with your pet when they are staying in our home, Haley stays at home with the kids and would let your dog out to play in our large backyard as often as needed. She can also take dogs on walks and keep them comfortable in our home during the day. We will have a crate or dog bed inside available for nighttime sleeping. Our children are taught to be kind and gentle to animals and are so excited to meet new dogs. We have fenced in chickens in the yard. Nathan has been through multiple obedience and agility training courses through the years and has experience with various breeds. We look forward to meeting you. We are at home a lot with the kids and pets. Haley is at home with the kids during the week and Nathan works around the block. We have a fenced, large yard which is very secure for dogs. We have toys and balls to throw for the dogs, they will have lots of play time.

About: I'm an animal lover. I had dogs and cats and mainly had just dogs/cats in the past. I've always wanted to take care of animals. Even starting out as a walker/sitter it’s fun to be able to help I live in a house with a yard and they do allow animals. I will make sure they will not be able to escape. I will never forget to feed them. Play with them. Take them out whenever they need to go. I will keep the owners up to date with everything involving their pets. I have a small back patio but the place does have a big dog park! I do want to put that making a list of things that you normally would do with your pet, fill free to write down and tell me. Any questions at all ask me. Please review on booking me. Currently unemployed and my first time being pregnant! So I am looking into making some income someway before starting back up work but I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! And or cats! I’m available for walking/ check ins any time of day(I’ll be a bit slow but definitely high energy for the furry ones! I’m great at providing whatever needs fit, either high energy for a young pup or a low casual exercise for those senior babies lol :) If I were to care for someone’s pet in their home I’d make sure to bring extra items for their pets like extra food bowls, walking harnesses/leashes or food.

About: I've grown up around dogs and taking care of them! I have experience delivering meds, taking multiple dogs on countless walks, and throwing a stick for hours on end! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am mostly available on weekends, and most weekdays in the afternoon. In home, your pets will be well taken-care of! I am happy to spend time in a backyard with some pups or go on walks!

“Laurel was absolutely amazing with our two goldens! Highly recommend, great communication and care of not only our dogs but also our home as well!”

About: I have a tremendous love and respect for all animals. My attentive nature surges when in the presence of any animal… they are all I care about! I have been taking care of my family and friends pets for years! I can do special instructions with medicine for animals as well. I am currently working at Starbucks as a barista. My store that I work at is only 5 mins from my apartment. My shifts are normally no longer than 6 hours, and my boyfriend is home full time as well. Besides from work I am always home! I live in a cozy apartment with two of my own little kitties! I have a soft, large, playpen enclosure for your pet if needed, but my kitties are pretty friendly!

About: I have grown up around dogs and have experience providing care for a wide range of needs, including puppies, senior dogs, dogs with disabilities, and those prone to seizures I have a flexible schedule and will be working part-time at a restaurant, which allows me plenty of availability to spend quality time with your pups. follow each dog’s established routine to ensure consistency and comfort, and I love spending time playing and engaging with them throughout the day. I also love a a good lounge day if thats what your pup needs.

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals for over 5 years and have hands-on experience with large breeds, working dogs, reactive dogs, and high-energy personalities. I currently own German Shepherds as well as two chinchillas, so I understand the importance of species-specific care, structure, enrichment, and maintaining a safe environment. I’m comfortable with crate routines, medication administration, basic training reinforcement, long walks, litter box care, feeding routines, and reading animal body language. My professional background in high-stress environments has also made me calm, dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative. I know how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone else, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently work full-time during the week, but I’m still able to provide dependable drop-in care and quality engagement for pets. I’m available for evening drop-in visits during the weekdays and can provide up to two visits per day on weekends. During visits, I focus on more than just feeding and potty breaks — I make sure pets receive attention, enrichment, playtime, affection, and companionship so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m especially attentive to routines, behavioral cues, and making animals feel safe and relaxed in their home environment. Safety, structure, and trust are extremely important to me when caring for animals. I have experience with large breeds, reactive dogs, cats, and small animals, so I understand the importance of reading body language, respecting boundaries, and maintaining calm, controlled interactions. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, crate rotations, leash handling, and household rules. I prioritize secure handling during walks and visits, double-check doors, gates, harnesses, and crates, and always aim to create a calm and positive environment for pets. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to help owners feel comfortable while they’re away.

“We were in a real bind to get a sitter and she was able to help us at the last minute. She took great care of both of our dogs and even washed some of their blankets while we were gone. Would recommend her again!”

“We had Nicole come stay with our blind foster dog, Ducky, while we were away and it went better than we could have ever hoped. Ducky is quite the handful as she is a blind puppy with lots of attitude but Nicole saw right away how amazing Ducky is and knew exactly what she needed to feel safe and secure so she can be her hilariously goofy self! We got lots of updates throughout the week. She took her on walks every day, played with her non stop, and made sure that her routines were consistently followed. The day she left, ducky went into the room she was staying in and looked for her immediately. We will absolutely be booking Nicole again!”

Paris K.

“An incredibly effective and quick communicator. She pays close attention to the dogs’ routines and remembers all the important details. We always receive photos while we’re away, which gives us great peace of mind. She also takes wonderful care of our home. Highly recommend!”

“Gabby did such a wonderful job taking care of our sweet pup. Gabby was punctual, responsive, and very thorough through the entire process. She was patient when we had a little communication delay due to unexpectedly loosing cell service on our trip the day she was supposed to arrive, but she was nothing but understanding and timely. Our sweet old gal needs a few daily medications and supplements that Gabby had no issues administering. It’s always daunting finding a new sitter, but we were so pleased with how Gabby gave us picture updates, and general care updates while we were away, we will definitely be booking with her in the future!! We came back to a happy, healthy girl. Thank you Gabby!”

“Erin was AMAZING! We are so thankful to of found and worked with her. She took such good care of our pups. One senior and one adult dog plus a cat. She made them feel at peace while we were away and couldn't of asked for a better outcome. Will work with her again.”
