House Sitting in Elmo

“This was the first time we used a Pet Sitter for our 21 month old Golden Retriever for a lengthy vacation trip and I was very nervous that I would not find the right person. The minute I talked with Sherri, I knew she was the one I would want to take care of our Fur baby. This is Sherri's full-time profession, one that she puts her whole heart into. Not only is she professional, she possesses a lot of knowledge which I learn from her experience. Sherri puts the interests of the pet first and I love knowing she bonds with our pet Remy. They shared many adventures while we were gone plus she aids in furthering his training. We loved seeing the pictures she sent and reading the pet nanny reports. All that mattered to me was that Remy had a full-time, loving companion so it would not traumatize him with us being gone. Sherri stepped in and became one of the family, with Remy having a fun vacation as well with a new friend who loved him and showered him with attention. She was also a wonderful house sitter and everything was immaculate, looking undisturbed upon our return. I so appreciated everything Sherri did for Remy in our absence and future trip planning will be a breeze knowing I have Remy's needs taken care of under Sherri's high standards and quality care.”

I offer dog walking and house sitting, and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether your pup needs long walks, quiet companionship, or just someone to stick to their routine, I’ve got it covered. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for regular walks or longer stays when you’re out of town. I pay close attention to each dog’s health, behavior, and happiness, and I always send updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Let’s chat and set up a meet & greet!

I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pup plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m generally available for dog walking and house sitting during the following times: Monday–Sunday: ✔️ Mornings (7 AM – 11 AM) ✔️ Afternoons (11 AM – 4 PM) ✔️ Evenings (4 PM – 8 PM) If you need care outside these hours or on short notice, feel free to reach out—I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule! I offer reliable, in-home care. I come to your home to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. Whether you’re heading out for the day or away on a trip, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

“Shayla was very concerned about Gus and wasn’t afraid to ask questions about his care. Our dog is used to being able to roam at his will which concerned her. He has trouble warming up to people but by second day he was happy to hang with her. She stuck in there!”

“After an unexpected sudden death in the family, Kelsey promptly responded to my request and started taking care of my two dogs the very next day. She did a wonderful job and even went the extra mile with cleaning up after my pups which is not easy lol. I highly recommend Kelsey and will book her again. Thank you Kelsey!”

Feel free to contact me with any questions you have! -Drew I’m currently only working a few days a week so have a very flexible schedule. I do plan on doing a lot of trips- but as long as I have notice of when you need me I can work around that.

I will respect you and your home completely.

About: Passionate Dog Trainer/Walker Ready to go on Adventures Hello there! My name is Zoro, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as your friendly neighborhood dog trainer/walker. With a heart full of love for all our furry friends, I cannot wait to embark on exciting adventures with your beloved canine companion. My journey as a dog walker began years ago when I discovered my deep-rooted connection with animals. Growing up surrounded by pets, I quickly realized that spending time with dogs brought me unparalleled joy and fulfillment. From that moment on, I knew that my purpose in life was to provide exceptional care and support to our four-legged friends. When it comes to my dog walking philosophy, I believe in nurturing not only physical well-being but also emotional happiness for our furry pals. My primary goal is to create a safe and stimulating environment where dogs can thrive, explore, and have an absolute ball during our walks together. With an innate understanding of canine behavior, I am adept at tailoring my approach to cater to the unique needs and personalities of each dog I encounter. Whether it's a high-energy pooch who craves a vigorous run in the park or a more mellow companion who prefers a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood, I am committed to providing a customized experience that leaves their tail wagging with joy. Safety is my top priority, and you can rest assured that your furry friend will be in capable hands under my care. I am well-versed in canine first aid and CPR, and I maintain a keen eye for potential hazards during our outings. I am also experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring that even the most timid or boisterous canines feel secure and comfortable throughout our walks. In addition to the physical exercise aspect, I strongly believe in the power of mental stimulation for dogs. I incorporate engaging activities, such as interactive games and puzzle toys, to keep their minds sharp and active. Whether it's sniffing out hidden treats or practicing basic obedience commands, I'm always on the lookout for opportunities to make our time together both fun and mentally enriching. Above all, I strive to build trusting relationships not only with the dogs I walk but also with their human companions. Open and transparent communication is key to providing the best care possible, and I am always available to discuss any concerns, requests, or special instructions you may have. Your dog's well-being and happiness are of utmost importance to me, and I am committed to going the extra mile to ensure their needs are met.

Let's join forces and embark on a tail-wagging adventure together. Contact me today, and let's schedule a meet-and-greet to see if I'm the perfect fit for your four-legged friend. Together, we'll create pawsome memories that will last a lifetime! I work from anywhere I have mostly answer phone calls for my business. Which gives me time to take care of dogs. Train them and take them on adventures. When it comes to caring for pets in either my home or my client's home, I ensure that their well-being, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. The specific care provided may vary depending on the service I offer, so let's delve into both scenarios: Caring for pets in my home: If I offer services where pets stay with me, I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment that replicates a home-like atmosphere. Here's how I care for pets in my home: 1. Comfortable accommodations: I provide a cozy space for pets to relax, ensuring they have a comfortable bed or a designated area where they can unwind. 2. Regular feeding and hydration: I adhere to the feeding schedule provided by the pet owner and make sure fresh water is readily available at all times. Special dietary needs or medication administration will be strictly followed as instructed. 3. Exercise and playtime: I engage pets in stimulating activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. Whether it's playing fetch, going for walks, or enjoying interactive toys, I ensure they receive the exercise and mental stimulation they require. 4. Regular potty breaks and hygiene: I maintain a consistent bathroom schedule, taking pets outside for potty breaks. I also provide regular grooming, including brushing, bathing, and nail trims, if necessary. 5. Safety and supervision: I create a secure environment, free from potential hazards, and monitor pets closely to ensure their safety at all times. I supervise their interactions with other pets, if applicable, to ensure a peaceful and harmonious environment. Caring for pets in the client's home: If I offer services where I visit the client's home to care for their pets, my approach revolves around maintaining their routine and surroundings. Here's how I care for pets in their own homes: 1. Adhering to routines: I strive to follow the established routines provided by the pet owner, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions for their care. 2. Feeding and medication administration: I ensure pets receive their meals according to the provided schedule and administer any necessary medications as instructed. 3. Exercise and enrichment: I engage pets in physical activities tailored to their needs, whether it's going for walks, playing in the yard, or engaging in interactive play. I also provide mental stimulation through puzzles, toys, and positive reinforcement training. 4. Maintaining cleanliness: I keep the pet's living areas clean and tidy, including regular litter box cleaning for cats or ensuring a clean outdoor space for dogs. 5. Security and well-being: I make sure the home is secure during my visits, ensuring doors and windows are properly closed and locked. I also keep a watchful eye for any potential signs of distress or health issues in the pets and report any concerns to the owner promptly. Overall, my goal is to provide a loving and attentive environment, whether in my home or the client's home, ensuring that pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in every possible way.

About: I have taken care of my roommates dogs and pet sat for family friends since I was a kid. My Beagle has seizures and takes medicine for them, so I am comfortable giving medication to dogs if needed. I work a full time job but on weekends I am available for boarding. I am available for in house pet sitting at anytime but I do work a full time job and I have a very well behaved beagle of my own I need to take care of. I would be open to boarding during the week, but pets would need to be house trained and be able to be left alone for up to 5 hours, I would be able to run home on lunch to let them out. I have a fenced in yard and I have an older Beagle and my roommate has 2 well behaved dogs that love to run and play. We have an extra room if your doggo likes to be by themselves or if they are a senior dog that doesn’t like the rough housing we have an area just for them. Depending on your nightly routine we can have a slumber party in the living room or snuggle on the bed.

About: I grew up surrounded by the lively atmosphere of farms, where I had the pleasure of interacting with a diverse array of animals, including both working and non-working dogs. This upbringing exposed me to a wide range of dog breeds and ages, allowing me to develop skills in training puppies and providing additional care and affection to those in need. Cats have also held a special place in my heart, and my passion for their well-being has led me to volunteer at pet shelters, where I've dedicated my time to walking, grooming, and ensuring the happiness of our furry friends. My belief is that our beloved pets deserve the utmost care and joy in their lives, which is why I'm here to offer my assistance. In caring for my own canine companion, we embark on numerous adventures together, from invigorating hikes and leisurely walks to exhilarating bike rides. His presence accompanies me everywhere, creating cherished memories and strengthening our bond. A profound realization that a single day in our lives equates to a week in a dog's life has deeply influenced my perspective, inspiring me to make a positive impact in the lives of animals. My experience extends to providing senior care for both dogs and cats, encompassing tasks such as administering diabetic medication, changing post-surgery bandages, applying ointments, trimming nails, cleaning ears, grooming, and facilitating medication administration. Furthermore, my training includes dog CPR, ensuring that I am equipped to handle any unexpected situations with proficiency and care. Allow me the privilege of caring for your beloved pets with compassion, expertise, and a genuine love for animals! 🐾 --- Howdy! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my message. I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to assist you and your wonderful companions. As I work online, my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to provide care for your pets at any time during the week. Whether it's early mornings, late evenings, or weekends, I can adjust my availability to fit your needs seamlessly. I have extensive experience in pet care, ensuring that your furbabies receive the best possible attention and love. From daily walks and playtime to administering medications and special care for senior pets, I am equipped to handle a wide range of responsibilities. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for in your absence. Additionally, I believe in maintaining open communication with pet owners. I will provide regular updates and photos of your pets to give you peace of mind while you are away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I am committed to working closely with you to ensure their specific needs are met. I look forward to the possibility of working with you and providing exceptional care for your beloved pets. I care deeply about all animals and understand the importance of providing a safe and loving environment for them. I have about 5 acres with plenty of room for your pets to play and explore. Additionally, I live near a dog park, which I am happy to visit if you feel comfortable with that. I recently experienced the loss of my beloved Doberman, Onyx, who passed away due to cancer. This has only deepened my commitment to ensuring the well-being of animals in my care. Currently, I have almost a 2 year old doggo named Isla who is very friendly and gets along well with everyone. She is exceptionally sweet and well-mannered, making her a great companion for other pets. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your pets and provide them with the same level of love and attention that I give my own. ---

About: I have loved animals since I can remember, we always had cats, dogs, horses, chickens, ducks, and the occasional sheep or pig raised for the fair. Those experiences gave me a great understanding of animal care and responsibilities. I would love to host your fur-babies in my home (or come to yours). It’s just my husband and I and our two very active Idaho Shag dogs Odie and Pickles that are basically my children. Odie’s whole personality revolves around THE BALL so lots of fetch, outdoor time, going for walks, belly scratches, and treats happen in our house. I can accommodate whatever your dog is used to make their stay as stress free as possible and will ask you for any do’s and don’ts for their care, activity level, and training. I am experienced giving medications orally or intravenously, senior dog care, grooming and training. I do work a traditional 9-5pm job in a professional setting, but am very flexible, and go home for mid-day breaks. My schedule in the evening and weekend is flexible, just message me to see if I can accommodate. I own two very active Idaho Shag dogs, Odie an Pickles. They are free to roam in the home and on furniture, but also have a crate available for your pet if needed, or can crate mine. We are on a 2 acre, mostly fenced property adjacent to horse pastures If your pet has issues with livestock, or wanders please let me know and I can adjust my care as needed.

“Maddy took care of our dog (rough collie) and our home while we away for a 4 night trip - Maddy sent pictures and texts to keep us informed and assured that all was good at home. She is a responsible and dependable person and we will definitely call on Maddy again.”
