House Sitting in Elkinsville

“We are new to the area so did not know anyone to ask for dog care, so I found Elliot totally organically via Rover and am glad I did. Elliot was awesome. We had him house/dog sit for us for close to a week and he was great. Very responsive and understanding when the dates of our trip got moved around. Also he was able to swing by and let the dogs out again when our flights got delayed. The dogs were happy and healthy when we got home and seem like they loved him. We will be asking (hoping) Elliot can dog sit for us again in the future.”

About: I have been house sitting and taking care of pets throughout high school and college. I have two cats of my own. I treat any pet as if it is my own when watching them! I am free a lot of the time and can work around many different schedules. I am easy to work with and am very flexible! I play with my own cats every chance I get and make sure they have everything they could need or want. I do this with the pets I watch as well because that’s how I would want my cats taken care of!

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 10, including dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, and horses, and have some dog training experience. I just graduated from college, so I have a relatively free schedule as I transition, and would love to dedicate that time to animal care! I make sure I am very attentive when seeing what the pet needs, and I make sure to accommodate for whatever recommendations my clients would like to see being done. I also have a flexible schedule and can work around whatever is needed for them to remain happy and healthy.

“Sara took care of our dogs and several smaller creatures such as fish and geckos while we were away for a week. She did a wonderful job and kept us informed and shared plenty of photos. We couldn't be more pleased with the care she provided.”

About: Hey there! 🐾 Need someone to take care of your furry friends? Look no further! I'm Kelsie, a passionate and reliable pet sitter. Trust me to give your pets all the love and attention they deserve while you're away! 🐶🐱🐾 I have a few years of personal experience with caring for animals along with a few years of work by along side a local humane society helping foster furry friends till they find their forever home. With me currently working from home I have a pretty open availability to work with different pets and on their schedules. I am available to take them out or on walks as need and at set times. I do not have a fenced in yard but we do have a pretty safe and big yard for your dog to roam around in and always provide leads for them to play outdoors safely. I also have a spacious living area for them to roam around freely indoors with plenty of toys and our own dog and cat to keep them company.

“Leah was an excellent sitter! She took great care of our senior dog, Reggie. I appreciate that she sent lots of updates. I would be happy to have her watch Reggie again!”

About: I’m usually the first person my family calls when they need someone to care for their cutie pets while they’re away. As a grad student and pet owner myself, I understand the emotional support that animals can provide! Pets are family members and I understand what it takes to look after family. I send daily photo updates and report back any information requested. I have experience maintaining training schedules for puppies. I’m diligent at following care plans and requests. Overall, I truly to enjoy connecting with animals and their owners alike! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and considering me. I’m currently working towards my graduate degree and have a flexible daily schedule. I am able to stop by routinely (in between classes or internship commitments) to take care of your pet! I am available most weekends and weekdays. My schedule is subject to change in a few weeks with the start of a new semester. My goal is to continue the quality of care that your pet is used to. I want to reduce the amount of stress they might experience in the absence of their loving owner(s)! Keeping their routine as similar as possible is key. Meal times, walk times, crate/no crate, on/off furniture, treats, etc. are all things I try to attend to. I am open to specific requests your pet might need!

“Medi was amazing!”

“I’ve had so many awful experiences with walkers which has lead me to be distrustful to all walkers. I told Samantha some of this and that I wanted updates and she surpassed every last one of my expectations! She went above and beyond with time spent, communication etc etc. highly recommend.”

“Sarah did such a great job caring for our dog Hoosier and watching our house. She sent pictures and communicated with me daily on all of Hoosier's happenings. Whenever I needed to contact her about something, she was very quick to respond and took care of anything I needed. As an added bonus, she has a dog that I was very comfortable having in my home, and he provided such a great playmate for Hoosier. We came home to a very clean house and a very happy dog! I highly recommend Sarah and we will definitely be using her again!”

About: I love cats, dogs- pretty much all animals ! We've had dogs all throughout my childhood and I absolutely am in love with them. My husband and i adopted our first ever cat in 2020 and I’ve been in love with cats ever since. We even adopted a one eyed cat in 2022. I also have beagle and shih Tzu mix. I’ve had pets pretty much all my life and am very responsible. I work from home, so that means I’m pretty flexible through the week and with last minute notices. I always prefer some type of notice, as I do work full time. I am always happy to keep your fur babies company and give them the best care needed! I know they’re just like another family member.

“They are just wonderful with our animals. Very communicative and sent lots of adorable pictures. We look forward to having them come back again!”

About: I've been lucky enough to share most of my life with dogs, as well as a cat that worshiped me for about 15 years. I'm able to quickly form connections with animals of all kinds, and have rarely encountered a dog or cat that didn't like me, including several deemed "difficult" by others. I also have experience working in a veterinary clinic that offered boarding services. My time spent with my pets is the most rewarding part of my life, and neighbors often comment on how lucky my dogs are to have me. I'm currently looking for work and have put in applications at pet boarding and daycare facilities. In my last job, I provided support for adults with developmental disabilities, but the work was a little bit too emotionally intense for me, despite it being highly rewarding. My dogs are always on my mind, and I walk them at least three times a day. My schedule is currently completely open, and I'd love to use my time caring for your pets! I walk my dogs, including my brother's dog Rosie,at least three times a day and they receive plenty of engagement with other dogs in the neighborhood. Lila can be difficult with some smaller dogs, so boarding wouldn't really be possible at this time.

About: I have cared for various animals ever since I was in high school. I’ve had experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles as well. I have pets of my own and love them very much, so providing the best care I can for others is my top priority! I’ve dealt with reactive dogs and aggressive cats before and know effective ways in ensuring care and safety. I have a part time job right now, so I have ample time to attend to your pet’s needs. I’ll be sure to update my calendar in advance with my schedule. I always use a leash when going outside with a dog. I don’t want to take any chances of them running away. I’ll follow any instructions you have laid out for me.

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends animals since I was very young. My parents let me have my own guinea pig to take care of myself starting in kindergarten. I’ve always loved animals and will help in anyway I can. I care for my elderly pugs on a daily basis. I work as a nanny and am a student but only in the morning and they are both very flexible so I can add in my needs with animal sitting. I’m available most night as well. I will follow all the instructions listed for me to do. I like to make sure the house is spotless when the owners get home so they can relax. I will take care of the animals by doing all I can to make sure they feel safe and cared for as well.

About: With over 3 years of experience caring for dogs, cats and other small animals, I provide dependable, attentive and personalized pet sitting and walking services! I prioritize safety, comfort and routines to ensure your pet feels secure and happy while you are away. Whether that means daily walks, administering medication or overnight care, your pet is in caring, capable hands! As a recent college graduate, I possess a very flexible schedule! Pet care has become a meaningful part of my daily routine, for my pets and those I take care of. I’m available and time throughout the week to provide consistent care. Caring for animals not only fits perfectly into my current lifestyle, but it’s something I truly enjoy and take pride in! As a veteran camp counselor, safety and well being are at the forefront of my mind at all times. This remains true when I am taking care of animals of any sort. I take great care to provide a calm, secure and clean environment your pet will enjoy, and that you will feel comfortable coming back to. From following specific care instructions to maintaining consistent routines, I aim to build trust with both pets and their owners through responsible service!
