Pet Sitting in Downs

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.

“Literally the BEST THERE IS! Sarah is our go-to for all animal care needs. I love the photos and report card we get after every visit. My dogs feel so loved! Thanks Sarah!”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was little. I have helped family and friends take care of their pets when they are out of town. I am a stay at home mom so this gives me plenty of time to care for your pets when you are out of town. To ensure your pet is safe and will not escape and well taken care of I would make sure fence gates and or house doors are shut and locked

“Great job, as always :)”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 12 years including my own and those of family and friends. I currently have 2 dogs with varying health needs who require a lot of love and attention, so I’m very comfortable meeting any needs your pet may have. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, medication administration, specialized diets, varying exercise needs, reactive dogs, and some experience with dogs undergoing training programs. I am currently a graduate student so I’ll have plenty of time throughout the day to care for your pet. I am available week days and weekends. I don’t offer boarding but I am happy to comply with any requests you have including crating, several walks daily, yard play, in-house rules, or taking your fur baby to a local park. My own dogs are big cuddlers so I have no issue if your pet likes a little extra attention. You and your pet’s comfort is my priority.

“Maleny was a champ! One of our kitties didn’t do so well with us being gone so long and Maleny went above and beyond for us to make sure things were taken care of—even coming an extra day just to help more. I would hire her again if I needed her.”

“Kevin was amazing with my very anti social cat while I was away and even got her to make friends with him by the end of the week! Will definitely be back next time I need a cat sitter.”

Alison B.

“Erica was very attentive to my cats and gave them lots of love. Even though one cat was being difficult Erica kept me updated and cared about my cats.”

About: Former dog boarder/dog daycare host now serving your needs for dog walking, check ins, or house sits. I have many years experience caring for puppies, many different dog breeds, kittens, and senior cats. Animal care is my full-time job and can be very flexible for your needs. Animals become family and my kids like to step in as well. Aside from homeschooling my kids, we like to fill up our schedule with dog and cat love! I keep myself up to date on animal knowledge and emergency aid such as dog CPR, preventing injury, or administering medicine. You can never be too careful and safety is always the top priority.

“Great pet sitter with a big heart! Communicative and kind. Takes great care. Highly recommend.”

“I felt very comfortable leaving Chyna and Diego with Lillian Dogs were happy and comfortable She was on time and it allowed us to have a night out without worry.”

About: As the small business owner of dog daycare and pet boarding facility since 2017, I know how important it is for pet parents like you and me to find quality pet services with the highest of standards for care and safety. While I still own and operate my boarding and daycare facility, the increase in demand for in-home pet sitting for geriatric, timid, or just flat out spoiled pets (they deserve it!) has peaked my interest, and I’d love to be able to continue to contribute my professional pet care knowledge and experience to pet parents like you in a more 1:1 setting. Prior to owning my business, I worked at a pet hospital for a couple years learning how to properly care for and handle anxious, timid, and wiggly dogs and cats, which I have been able to grow significantly in my pet boarding and daycare career. I am no stranger to medication administration and other special care needs (whether behavioral or physical) and truly enjoy getting to know each pet (and their parents!) who I have the honor to work with 1:1. Transparency, excellent communication, safety, and reliability are all incredibly important to me when it comes to working with pet parents like yourself. Whether through my own pet care business or through Rover, I never want a pet parent to worry about their pet's care, safety, or comfortability while away, which I practice through daily updates and 24/7 availability to communicate. Additional services can be discussed during our initial meet-and-greet! When I'm not working, I enjoy caring for my own pets, including several horses, goats, two golden retrievers, a couple barn kitties, a cockatiel, and guinea pig. Since I'm a remote business owner, I have relatively flexible and open availability during the week, over weekends, and during the holidays! While advance notice is highly preferred and recommended, I can usually squeeze in overnight or daytime drop-in visits and walks for emergencies and last minute plans. I am more than happy to cater to your preferences when it comes to entering and leaving your home including triple checking doors and gates are locked, crating your pup before leaving (if desired), checking for and cleaning up after any messes, leaving lights on or ensuring they're turned off before departing, etc. If no specific instructions are given, I will treat your home as I would my own, and reach out to you with any questions, concerns, or updates.

Therefore I am fully available on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! Anytime on these days works for me. It is extremely important to me to create a safe and loving environment for your pet. Building trust and comfort is my number one goal.

“Jeanette is as good as it gets when it comes to dog sitting. She is very contentious and dog savvy. We will definitely request her again when the time comes.”

About: I love dogs and as much as we would like one of our own… we will substitute our love with sitting and loving yours while you’re away!! I've worked 2 years at a pet store when I was younger have hands on experience in pet care from puppies to seniors! I would love to meet your fur babies and when they're with me I'll love them as if they're my own. It’s hard leaving your 4 legged babies but when they’re in my care you’ll never have to worry about them. I have my own business so I’m usually with clients from 10-1, pick up my daughter from school at 230 and will have the evenings at home to walk and play the pups! With weekends off it allows me to be full time loving and playing with them! We have access to great walking trails and dog parks! Must be kid friendly as I have a 2 and 12 year old! I live in a farm house outside of town and there is currently no fenced yard so we will travel into town and take advantage of nature trails or dog parks so your pup gets plenty of exercise, as we are very active ourselves! My daughters LOVE animals so they will get lots of family love!

“Nicole did great with our pups! We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs at home knowing she was going to take care of them. Nicole sent great photos after every drop in visit and kept us updated while we were away!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals from dogs and cats to horses and gerbils since I was a kid. I’ve worked in the vet industry for over 5 years and know my way around the health of your fur baby. I strive to care for the needs of your pet in the time of your absence like they were my own. I’m currently taking care of and walking fur babies full time. I’m very flexible and am available most days for drop-ins and walks. I’m available to house-sit as well in the comfort of your fur babies home with reasonable know time in advance. Just reach out and I’m sure we can figure something out Having someone who isn’t family stay in your home with your fur baby can be daunting, but I take the upmost care of your fur baby and the household. I have a motto to “leave it better than I found it” meaning I may end up cleaning the whole house in the process of cleaning up after myself haha. Whatever care instructions you have for your pet I will follow to the t as well as pick up after myself and respect your space.
