House Sitting In East Deering

“Highly recommend Maddie! She was fantastic with my elderly dog, Oliver, who has separation anxiety. During our initial visit, she was wonderful with him and asked detailed questions to understand his needs. ​Throughout my entire work trip, Maddie was highly communicative and sent regular photo updates, giving me total peace of mind. I returned to a clean house and a very comfortable, happy dog. It is rare to find someone who provides this level of specialized care, patience, and affection. I will absolutely use Maddie again!”

“Sergey was great! We hired him for house/dog sitting while we were away for a long weekend and he made it so easy for us. The dogs liked him, and he clearly gave them a lot of attention. When we came home the house was spotless. You would have had no idea someone had been staying there for 4 days. He was very easy to get ahold of, and followed up a few days before the booking to confirm and schedule a second meet & greet. Would absolutely recommend.”

“I cannot recommend Ryan enough! She dog sat for my two fur babies and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Responsive, communicative, kind, respectful, and a calming force - the perfect care taker for my two high energy, very spoiled dogs. We look forward to booking her again soon!”

“Viva did a fantastic job caring for clover. Her positivity is contagious and she made us feel 100% comfortable that our dog was in good hands.”

“Celine was always quick with communication from beginning to end. She stayed with our two crazy pups, one who can be a handful. She shared pictures, followed their routines, and let our puppy sleep under the covers with her in bed!”

Amanda G.

“Megan stayed with our dog, Margot, and was excellent. Our dog can be unfriendly to other dogs and Megan followed our instructions to a tee! I can’t recommend her enough. Margot was happy and healthy when we returned and Megan was communicative with photos throughout the stay. So happy we booked Megan!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and have been helping to care for them (walking, feeding, etc.) since I was around 10 years old. I’ve pet sit for many family friends throughout the years - dogs and cats alike. Recently I even housesat for 4 dogs and 2 cats all at the same time! My family dogs both recently passed away and I’ve been looking for something to fill the whole in my heart. Would love to take care of your pets! I am a freelance writer, musician, and retail associate, so I’m able to make my own schedule a lot of the time. I’m free during the day Monday-Thursday to walk your pooch or for drop-in visits, and I’m available after work on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (I typically get off around 3-5 pm). I can walk, feed, or house sit for your dogs or cats. Also just love spending time with them in general! Whatever you need, I’m here to help.

“Bret accepted our short notice booking and stopped by for a meet & greet before we headed out for a weekend trip, which was great. Our pets are currently pretty low maintenance but it was important for us to have someone stay the weekend while we had some R&R. We’d have Bret back on a future vacation.”

About: Longtime dog lover and owner, current parent of a 9-year-old Siberian Husky service dog whom I trained to myself. I love dogs of all sizes and shapes and personalities and I can't wait to meet all the wonderful furkids that I'll be looking after in the future. I'm always telling people "I may have trouble remembering your name, but I will always remember your pet's name." Though I am small in stature I'm actually quite strong and can handle large/muscular dogs (and the occasional feral cat when necessary), because I just know how to move with them/guide them. I'm also not intimidated by aggressive behavior in animals, nor do I meet it with aggression in return. I always try to calm the animal and figure out the issue, putting myself between them and anyone/anything that might upset them further. I have a personality/presence that dogs seem to love, from the timid to the social, the calm to the active. I'm a fast walker, so your dog will certainly get a workout they'll love as they keep pace with me, but I can also meander when needed for the older dogs and fumbling puppies. I have experience doing basic grooming for dogs: bathing, brushing, shaving away mats, clipping nails, trimming the fur between pawpads, brushing teeth, and cleaning ears. I do not have experience doing "style" cuts for dogs. I know snake pet care as well, so feel free to inquire if you need someone to look after your danger noodle! Pet care is my primary work focus right now as I work through completing my online schooling towards getting my degree and Vet Tech licence. I have a backyard for your dog to play in alongside my very friendly Husky. It's not fenced in, but I keep a spare long-lead on-hand, same kind as I use for my girl, for guest dogs. If your dog is an especially strong one please let me know and I'll make sure to have an lead appropriate for your dogs weight strength available. Inside the house is dog-friendly and spacious, and I can crate your dog if needed. My dog is allowed on the couch and my bed, so do let me know if those are no-go areas for your dog. If your cat likes outside time I can provide walks and/or put them out in the backyard on the spare long-lead.

“John was an awesome pupsitter and we would definitely hire him again! He was communicative, thorough, and very attentive to our 2 dogs over the course of the week that he watched them. Highly recommend him!”

“Great sitter for our energetic 2yo border collie mix. Very friendly and responsive!”

Bryan M.

“Sarah is wonderful! She stayed overnight with my dog for several days. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs and energy level. She took her for long walks and to the dog park to run. She sent many photos and updates. I highly recommend!”

Lauren S.

“We hired Sami to look after our 11yo staffi Uzi over the Christmas break. Sami was very responsive and they took the best care of Uzi. They kept us informed daily, and paid close attention to Uzi’s health as she is very old and has cancer. Sami took great care of our house as well and we’d definitely hire them again if need be. Uzi is reactive with other dogs and Sami still agreed to watch her and walk her in our dog-filled neighborhood. Thanks again to them!”

Romane T.

“Renee was great, checking in with questions when needed. One of my dogs is more needy and she let me know so I could offer suggestions. I've invited her to come back and she said yes, so that's a good sign!”

Betsy R.

“Sara took excellent care of our dog who is currently recovering from heartworm. She communicated clearly and left our home clean and tidy. Her calm demeanor and attention to our training goals made it easy for us to be away for the weekend. We will definitely work with Sara again!”

Emma & Patrick G.

“Jamie was awesome. Communicative and funny and really responsive to needs. Jamie took great care of our pup and took him on plenty of adventures. Jamie also took great care of our home. Jamie let us know about any problems promptly and handled it all well. We’re really thankful for all of the help.”

Maura C.

“Working with Samantha was a dream! We left our puppy, Arthur, for a wedding which was extremely difficult, but working with Sam made it 100x better since we knew he was in good hands. She kept us updated with pictures and texts throughout our trip and Arthur clearly had the time of his life. She’s the best!!”

Annalise K.

“Jamie was incredible with Olive and Inky! She followed an entire list of instructions (for that I’m so grateful!), left my place clean and sent me many updates and pictures. Thank you Jamie!! Would definitely rebook!!”

Pascale A.

“Jessica was punctual and easy to communicate with (before and during), sharing pics of our dogs almost immediately to reassure us that all was well. Jessica was also very attentive to our dogs' individual needs, including separation anxiety and caution towards new people. Thank you!”

Christopher C.

“Elise was SO fantastic with our super shy guy Leon. He usually takes awhile to warm up to new people, but they were cuddling and going on walks super quick! She took great care of him, took him on tons of walks, and even cleaned our house before she left. Above and beyond - definitely will be using Elise again!”
