House Sitting in Empire

“Emily is a very courteous caretaker of pets and the house as well. She is great at reviewing the instructions and asking great questions to make sure she knows what to do during the sit. Her communication is awesome, and she sends great pictures of our kitties while she was watching them! For what it’s worth we have a very shy kitty and after several sits, the kitty has warmed up to Emily which is awesome. if you need someone to overnight and watch your critters and your house, she is definitely someone to consider!”

“This was our first time hiring a professional dog/house sitter and it won't be our last! Steph was outstanding - responsive, respectful, and caring. She took great care of our 2 dogs AND our chickens. The house was in better shape than when we left and it was truly amazing to not worry about our fur babies while traveling. I would not hesitate to hire Steph again - Thank you Steph!”

“Katherine was terrific! We needed a weekend sitter for our three high-maintenance pups, and Katherine made it a worry-free stay. She was communicative, punctual, and very responsive, and sent us photos and updates throughout the weekend. It was clear that the dogs were comfortable and enjoying her company! We returned home to a well-cared for house and three happy dogs. 🐾 I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Katherine again in the future!”

“If I could leave a million stars I would!! Kara and her fam were absolutely incredible with Bubba and kept me updated as needed! I will be asking her back every time we leave!! It’s special to find people you aren’t concerned every second of the day hoping your pup is okay! The house was cleaner than we left it, so thank you SO MUCH Kara and family!”

“Amber is amazing! She watched our dogs for our wedding weekend! She kept me updated with photos, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Reliable, kind, and caring—I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Will definitely be rebooking.”

About: I have had pets of my own for the past 38 years, since I was 12 years old. I also have a degree in biology and chemistry and have worked in animal hospitals and zoos. My husband, Scott, has had pets all his life. We treat our pets with the love and care that family members deserve, and we take our responsibility to them very seriously. Currently, we have a 2 year old black lab who absolutely loves all other animals, and a 14 year old cat who mostly sleeps in quiet, dark places. Our dog, Rosie, is always looking for new friends and is very submissive with them. She just wants to play and snuggle! Our children are grown and help with the care of them. Our house is full of pet lovers! We are very active and love to go for hikes, and we always keep dogs on their leash on the trails. We're happy to take your doggy to the dog park, as well, if you request it. You can have total peace of mind while your pup stays with us! I currently work part time and Scott, my husband, is a teacher and has summers off. I'm home a lot during the entire year, and we're both home on weekends. We have a fenced in backyard for running around and playing fetch. We have a large house and a fenced in yard where our dog, Rosie, loves to run around or playing fetch with us. We regularly go for walks in the neighborhood and hikes in the woods or on the beach. We love to take Rosie to the dog park, but will skip it if you're not comfortable with it. Scott is a teacher and has weekends and all summer free. Stephanie works part time, mostly from home and is at home most of the time during the week and is also available weekends. We have a large fenced yard and a wonderful Labrador retriever to keep your fur baby happy! We love giving dogs love and attention! We also love to take walks if that is something your dog enjoys.

“Mars really helped us out when another sitter we had booked cancelled for a family emergency. He took on two crazy Frenchie pups and an older Cane Corso for a full week.”

“This is the second time Michelle has stayed with our two pups and we came home to two happy, well-cared for pets and a spotless home. It is very nice to have a dependable sitter and sets my mind at ease while away from home!”

“Marg was great with my two dogs while we were out of town for a weekend with family. She was communicative and sent me a few photos and updates throughout the weekend. I could tell the boys felt comfortable with her! Thanks again, Marg.”

“Jordan stayed with our 2 dogs while we were on vacation for a few days. She was so kind and updated me many times with how they were doing and pictures for us to see. She even tidied up and did laundry for us which blew me away! I felt great leaving our dogs with her and would request her again! 🙂”

About: I’ve had dogs for at least 30 years. I’ve raised four dogs from pups through their golden years. I understand the needs and care required for dogs throughout their life cycle. 💕 I'm home on the weekends and work part-time during the week. After June 9th, I will be home full-time for the summer. I love to get the dogs out for a walk at least once per day. Plenty of playtime in the yard too! I have a fenced in yard an a friendly, gentle dog to keep your dog company. My dog likes to play with other dogs and nap in the sun.

“Vesta took great care of our and cats at our home. She sent photos of all of them and kept us updated when she arrived and left. It was awesome that she came to meet them before the booking so we knew they’d be comfortable with her. Pepperoni thanks you for the couch snuggles, Vesta!”

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. I grew up with horses, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and chickens. I have done some volunteering at the Cherryland Animal Shelter and have taken some of the dogs on some fun adoption events. I don’t have any pets of my own at this point in my life and would really like to be able to spend time with yours when you want to get away. I like to visit my son who has two dogs, a black lab an American bulldog so I can take them for walks and cuddle up with them. I am single and own my own home so I definitely could bring your dog to my house if necessary. One of my favorite hobbies is walking so I definitely can’t wait to take your dog/s for walks. I am a nurse that works with the electronic medical record and currently working from home.
