About: Hi, I’m Sande and I’m a stay at home doggy mommy of 3 precious fur babies—an English Bulldog, a Toy Miniature Aussie and a Pomeranian. I have a lifetime of experience taking care of dogs and cats and recently cared for an aquatic snail and beta fish! Who knew I could become so attached to a snail and a fish?! I specialize in senior dogs, medically fragile dogs (administering medication), happy dogs, shy dogs, chunky dogs, sassy dogs silly dogs and everything in between. If you have a brachycephalic dog (English bulldog, french bulldog, Pug or any other flat faced breed) consider me because I have had english bullies for years and I understand the delicate nature of these breeds—how to safely exercise, feed and ensure they keep a safe temperature.) If you need daycare, dog walking or overnight care, please reach out and we can see if we are a good fit. I look forward to meeting you and your precious baby(ies)! I am a stay at home pet parent with a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits and overnight care. I can also do field trips to the dog park and car rides! we are a safe, clean and smoke-free, dog friendly home. Pets are allowed on the furniture and we have a wonderful neighborhood for walking. We can’t wait to meet you!

“Bayleigh was amazing! My dogs loved her right away, and I felt so at ease leaving my two pups with her. She was so good with them and very communicative with me while I was away. I definitely would recommend Bayleigh and will be booking her again the next time I need someone to dog sit.”

About: Between growing up with cats and dogs, a parrot, horses, rabbits, and a tortoise, working with dogs in 4-H, showing my dog at the fair in the highest level of obedience, loving and caring for puppies, senior, blind, and deaf dogs, pet sitting for my neighbors and community members growing up, and working with clients through Rover doing drop in visits for walks, play time, feeds, and overnight house sits as well, I've become a well rounded animal caretaker and lover. Back at home after 9 months of traveling Asia, I am currently a free bird when it comes to scheduling, so please reach out with any requests for assistance meeting your pet care needs. With much TLC, tender loving care is how I care for pets. Additionally, I love for animals to be outside and so do I. My old dog and I used to go on so many hikes and swim in all of the creeks, having so much fun playing in the mountains. Despite enjoying dogs free of leashes, when I am walking dogs, I like to walk them on-leash as risk management to prevent unpredictable bad situations from arising.

“We felt very comfortable to let our dog Lottie stay with Tina. Tina is very knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. Lottie only stayed one day and Tina took her out on runs and walks a couple of times and made sure to send us pictures. We will definitely reach out to Tina again if we need a dog sitter in the future.”

About: Hi! I provide long-term, in-home house and pet sitting across the U.S. for homeowners who want their space handled consistently—not checked on, but actually lived in and maintained. I specialize in 1+ week stays and travel intentionally for sits, so I’m not juggling multiple local clients or rushing in and out. When I’m booked, your home is my focus. I work with residential homes and household pets only (no farms or large animals). I've done my time - hay is not my friend. Services: Long-term, in-home house sitting (2+ weeks minimum, negotiable if you're near the prior site) Overnight pet care (dogs, cats, household pets) Daily routines: feeding, medications, walks, litter Home care: mail, plants, trash, light cleaning, upkeep Full-time presence to maintain a lived-in, secure home This is not drop-in care—this is full coverage while you’re away. Experiance: I grew up on a hobby farm, so responsibility and animal care were part of everyday life early on. Now, I focus specifically on home environments and household pets, not farm or livestock care. My background in running businesses and managing operations means I’m organized, detail-aware, and dependable—especially in environments that require trust and consistency. I adapt quickly to new homes and follow established routines closely. Why should I hire you? Because I’m built for this type of arrangement. I travel specifically for longer sits—your home isn rarely one of several stops I don’t need supervision or micromanaging I communicate clearly and consistently - there might even be some pet pictures in your phone :) I handle issues calmly and practically You’re not coordinating with a sitter—you’re handing off your home to someone who can run it. Any special qualifications or training? Strong independent decision-making Comfortable managing homes solo for extended periods High attention to detail and respect for personal spaces Calm, steady, and reliable I’m also comfortable learning specific pet routines, medications, or household preferences. What’s your availability? North America availability Minimum stay: 2 weeks Open to extended and repeat sits Travel-ready and flexible with advance notice Once booked, I commit fully to that stay. Personality / Fit I’m calm, observant, and self-sufficient. Not high-drama, not flaky. Best fit: Homeowners traveling for extended periods People who want consistency without micromanaging I also work with executives who are in and out and need a temporary house guest (under 6 months) Not a fit: Less than 10 days Farms, livestock, or horse care (this can possibly be vaived with a conversation - I am very familar with animals) Your home stays in order, and your pets get real attention—not just care. I provide steady, full-time presence in your home. As a digital nomad, I work remotely, which means your pets aren’t left alone for long stretches and their routines stay consistent. I’m not rotating between clients or dropping in—I’m there, living in the space and keeping things running normally. I grew up around a wide mix of animals, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Some pets want constant attention, some want space, and some need structure—I meet them where they are and follow your routines closely, including feeding, medications, and daily habits. I also enjoy being outdoors, so walking dogs and getting animals outside is a natural part of the day, as long as that aligns with what they’re used to. It’s not forced—it’s just part of how I operate. You can expect a calm, low-drama environment. I tend to be observant and consistent, which animals respond well to. I’ll keep communication clear and reasonable—updates and photos as agreed—without overwhelming you while you’re away. Your home will be respected and maintained. I keep things clean, organized, and handled like they matter. And beyond all of that, I genuinely enjoy animals. This is how I get my “pet fix” while traveling, so I’m not just checking boxes—I actually like spending time with your pets. Your pets are the priority while you’re away. I keep a close, consistent eye on them and pay attention to small changes in behavior, appetite, or energy so issues are caught early, not after they’ve escalated. I maintain a calm, predictable environment and follow your routines closely to reduce stress and keep things stable. I’m comfortable handling medications and will administer them exactly as instructed, whether that’s daily dosing, timed schedules, or more specific routines. If something feels off, I act quickly and communicate clearly—using your preferred vet, emergency contacts, and instructions. You can expect a steady, attentive presence focused on keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time you’re gone.
