House Sitting Dozier

“Colette took fantastic care of our dog! We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. She sent us pictures of our boy when we were away and he looked very content. We will be booking with Colette again very soon!”

About: I've been the go-to sitter for my everyone in my circle of friends. I've been petsitting for 5 years. I've taken care of pets with medicinal needs such as diabetes, seizures and daily medication. I'm comfortable with most breeds; I've taken care of dogs as small as a Yorkshire Terrier to a dog as large as a Newfoundland. I work a 9-5 job, but if the home is close enough to where I work regularly, then i will stop by and check on the pets on my lunch. Outside of my work hours, I usually strive to keep their routines as close to their normal as possible. I typically send photos or updates throughout the day--either in the morning when we wake up and in the evening before bed--to provide the assurance mom and/or dad need for their babies. For cats, I typically make sure their litter boxes are cleaned out before bed, every night during my stay. To make sure the pets are comfortable with me, I usually like to request to see the pets a week before I am scheduled to watch them. For dogs: I will ask for the dog to be spayed or neutered. If the dog is reactive, I will not take them out on walks for both mine and the animal’s safety. However, like my own pet, I will designate a play time to help expend energy in the safety & familiarity of the home. For cats: it's really whatever the cat is comfortable with. I will make sure that they have a clean litter box every night. Regardless of pet, I make sure they are fed on time with fresh water available. To ensure a stress-free time while mom and/or dad are away, I am willing to adapt to cater to the pet's comfortability.

“The thought of leaving our fur babies behind for a week for the first time was nerve wracking however Nicky gave us a ton of peace of mind had a meet and greet and we felt super comfortable and our dogs did too . She sent us picture updates while we were away which helped us enjoy our time knowing our dogs were being well taken care off .she even fixed our sliding door that fell off haha overall it was a great experience and both our house and our fur babies were taken care amazingly would recommend to everyone and will be using her again .”

About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.

“Shanley is the best! My Nala is all smiles!! We had her stay for 7 nights. How was immaculate when we arrived home as well. Thank you Shanley!”

About: Since I was 16 years old, I have cared for and pet sat for dogs. Over the last 20 years I’ve had two of my own dogs that I got when they were six weeks old. I believe a happy focused, dedicated puppy stage (with lots of treats) makes for a loving, caring obedient, joyful dog to be able to live their best life. Enjoying all the things they were created for. I look forward to helping your dog enjoy their time at home while you are on vacation. A side note to add is I am a mother of 4 and I have two younger boys ages 13 and 11 who will be taking turns to attend with me during my visits as a teaching opportunity for more skills with different dogs. I am a stay at home mom with four kids. My children’s ages range from 22-11yrs. My stage of life provides for many opportunities to be able to share my time to help care for animals while providing moments to teach my children how to care for others. We have a large fenced yard, and are happy to also help with crating if needed. Daily walks and feedings are built into are routine. Having this same routine allows for us to easily help others with the same needs.

“Kiet did an amazing job watching my fur babies!! He kept me updated the whole trip and I knew they were in great hands allowing me to actually enjoy my time away. Definitely recommend booking with him!”

“Mya was amazing. I had two other sitters drop out at the last minute. She was responsive and stayed in contact both before the trip and during the trip. My older male cat doesn’t like too many people. He barely comes to me. He came straight to her during the meet and great. My house and animals were very well taken care of. I would gladly book her again if she is available.”

About: I have a dog of my own who I absolutely adore, and spending time with animals has always brought me joy.

Whether it’s walking, playing fetch, or just getting in their daily exercise, I’ll help keep your dog happy, healthy, and relaxed by the time they’re home.

“Jessica is a true animal lover who puts so much care and attention into her work, treating your pets as if they were her own. She took care of my dog and two cats for almost a week while I was out of town and I got frequent updates and came home to very happy animals! It’s also clear in talking with her that she has a wide range of animal experience, not just dogs and cats. Highly recommend and grateful to have found someone who I know will take excellent care of my pets.”

“Bari is the absolute best! We have a very anxious and sensitive dog, and he has no issues at all when Bari stays. His ears perk up at the mention of her name! She takes such good care of the house while we are gone too! The house is clean and organized and in much better condition than when we left! I’m always nervous to leave my dog while traveling but now I can enjoy the trip with no stress about home. We get lots of pictures and updates too. 😊 We are so thankful we found her!!”

Anna B.

“Devi was great. We’ve already booked with her again! Devi was very responsive when booking. We were impressed by how professional she was when she came over for a meet-and-greet. Most importantly, she handled our easily overexcited, enormous dog perfectly—she was calm, let him set the pace, and he quickly relaxed with her. Devi sent updates and pics, so we were able to enjoy our weekend without worries.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a young age. Ever since my family came together with our first Chihuahua, Gito, my parents imbued me with strong morals of care and respect for animals. I take primary care of our golden, chihuahua, and shitzu. Every dog is unique, and my care style with pets is individual to every pet I meet. Dialogue with me will always begin with discussing the unique needs and personality of your pet. While at home, pet care requires feeding the dogs, taking them on walk, and care for our Chihuahua, as he is getting older and has arthritis and impacted by urinary incontinence. Everyone’s situation is different; I’m comfortable in new environments and respecting personal boundaries. I have experience working different family friends and acquaintances in their homes for extended pet sitting stays, always a pleasure. Reach out to me if you’d like to connect more about my approach.

About: I have been taking care of animals pretty much all my life. I am an animal lover, especially good at caring for senior animals and those with special needs. I have recently left teaching and currently I work part time and can make my own schedule. I sometimes care for my granddaughter during the week, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I will care for your pets in your home where they are comfortable. I will tend to their needs, we will play and bind and have a wonderful time and you will be able to enjoy your time away without having to worry about them.
