House Sitting in Ellen Gowan

About: I have had pets all my life! Cats and dogs! I currently have two labs. I am comfortable of taking care of dogs of any age or size. One of my dogs is currently on medication so I’m comfortable with giving dogs medication if needed! I work a full time job and have my two girls to take care of. I would be able to take care of your pets before and after work or on the weekends if I have availability! I will not be taking care of pets in my home at this time due to having two dogs of my own. Sorry for the inconvenience.

“Renee is a gem. I almost don’t want to give her a good review so no one snatches her up! But here I am doing the right thing. Super sweet and clearly loves my dogs who get along great with her. Will definitely be booking with her any time I’m going away!”

“Syd was absolutely wonderful. We’ve had some rocky experiences in the past with pet sitters but Syd put us right at ease. She was truly a magical human and our animals and home were well taken care of. Absolutely recommend for others and will definitely re-book in the future. Thank you Syd!!”

About: I have experience with dogs, cats and exotics especially parrots! I have experience with snakes, bearded dragons, rats , Guinea pigs and rats too I’ve watched various neighbors dogs for years and always focus on giving them a fun day since it’s really stressful when your a dog family leaves even for a few days. I currently have no pets at the moment so I can dedicate time to yours! I am working part time so I have a very flexible schedule and my own reliable transportation. With notice I can easily modify my routine to make sure I’m there for your pet In my home I current have it parrot proofed. So we have no chemical or anything toxic that can easily be gotten into. I also make sure not to keep any toxic foods in the house as an extra level of precaution and know that you cannot leave them alone because you never know what any pet will get into especially when their routine is disrupted

About: I gave been around dogs and cats for 16 years! My neighbors, family members, and friends always relied on me to take wonderful care of their pets! I have a part time job, but if you let me know ahead of time I will not schedule myself to work and be available to take care of your pets. I always let my dog out and walk him, make sure he always have water and food. I love to walk dogs and make sure to watch for other pets to see if they are friendly or not.

“Starr did an amazing job with my dog who has severe separation anxiety. She sent daily updates, pictures and videos. Starr was quick to respond and easily accommodated changes. Will definitely use her again!!”

About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable pet lover who enjoys spending time with animals. I have experience caring for pets through my own and helping friends and family, including feeding, walking, and giving lots of attention. I’m patient, dependable, and will follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I’ll treat your pet like my own and keep you updated so you always have peace of mind! I am currently not working and a full-time or part-time job but I am looking so at the meantime I have a lot of availability I am not able to care for animals at my home but I am able to care for animals in your home. Just let me know what you need.

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my 32 years of experience, beginning in my teenage years when I cared for neighbors’ dogs. As a dog owner myself, I hold myself to high standards and treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. Due to working in a school full time, I have the most availability in the summer and winter breaks. In addition, I am available evenings for drop ins and weekends for house sitting. At the present time, I am not offering boarding- but this is subject to change. My three year old golden retriever lives with me and is always eager to make new friends, ensuring a fun and social environment for your dog. Based in NEPA, I focus on providing personalized, loving care for each dog I look after. I look forward to hearing from you! If you choose house sitting, please note that I do need to bring my well behaved quiet golden retriever. I do have a travel dog crate I can bring to keep her confined for your peace of mind. As someone who loves pets and takes great pride in caring for my own, pet care is always a top priority in my daily routine. When it comes to your pet, it becomes my first obligation as well. I follow a strict feeding schedule for my one dog—once at 7 a.m. and again at 5 p.m; meanwhile, my other dog is a graze eater and has food in her dish 24/7. We also dedicate at least an hour to play, whether it’s fetching a ball, relaxing while watching TV, or playing with stuffed animals, sometimes more often than not a lot more than an hour. Rest assured, your pet will receive all the care and love they deserve! I prioritize a consistent schedule and routine for both my pets and client pets, which includes regular feeding, playtime, relaxation, and walks. Safety is my top priority, and I ensure that your pet is well cared for in a secure environment. In my home or yours, I have crates, multiple rooms, and gates available to provide space for pets to relax if they need some time alone or if they become too rambunctious. Rest assured, your pet will be safe, comfortable, and well attended to while in my care. I cultivate a more homey environment for my pets and dogs I watch, which sets me apart from kennel life.

“Ivi did such a great job watching our pups! She was with them for 2 weeks and sent lots of pictures that they looked very happy and well loved in. She was very responsive any time we reached out and also went above and beyond caring for our home. Thank you Ivi!”

“Andrew was great with our two Great Danes! He sent multiple updates with pictures each day. He was punctual and very respectful. Will use him again for sure”

“Jule was amazing. Kind compassionate and loving to our Shelby. Constantly stayed in touch and Sent pictures. I recommend Jule highly and without reservation. Will definitely use her again.”

“Sandra is an excellent caregiver. She took time to meet us and our dogs ahead of time 2x which really eased our worries. Our german shepherd is a barker and extremely guarded with new people. She did a great job and is dependable and competent.”

Susan V.

“Maria was enthusiastic, kind, caring and patient during her two nights of sitting for us. One of our dogs can be difficult to care for due to intense anxiety but Maria navigated this well. She made sure our anxious girl got lots of time outside, which helps her to calm down. We were impressed to see Maddie’s improvement with Maria after only two days. Maria was also very considerate of our house and property. Highly recommend”

Hannah B.

“Words can not even describe how amazing Serena is. We have two crazy big mastiffs who do not know what personal space is and I was terrified to have anyone watch them. From our first meeting she made us feel so comfortable. She even gave us some helpful training tips. She sent pictures and communicated with us the entire time. I can’t wait to set up some training sessions with her. I would recommend Serena to anyone. She’s such a wonderful person. BEST DOGGIE SITTER EVER! ? ?”

Anthea A.

“Briana is a gem! We had a family emergency and had to leave the boys to travel to another city. Briana was immediately available at cery short notice. As always, my dogs were very happy to be with her, and they were well taken care of. Thenk you!”

About: I currently own 4 fur babies. Two dogs, two cats. I KNOW how important it is for pets to be properly cared for, because I want my pets getting the same worry free care. I've been taking care of animals most of my life, and worked for a professional pet care service. I make sure that my pets, and yours always get the best attention and care possible. Depending on the service, I can be there for a full overnight stay, anytime from Wed-Mon. If it's a simple walk, I will usually try to be there 10 minutes in advance. No matter what, my schedule is open In my home my dogs are always leashed when outside. My cats always have fresh litter, water and food. My dogs get fresh water 1-2 times per day. Depending on the service requested, I can make sure they're fed, empty their litter, water, anything to make sure they're comfortable! You'll get a picture each time I visit of your fur baby to let you know they're alright.
