House Sitting in Fairmont

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and my very first job was walking around my neighborhood asking people if I could walk their dogs. I genuinely love the company of dogs and treat animals with the same level of care, patience, and attention you would give a family member. I’ve grown up around Boxers my whole life, but I also love small dogs and have always adored larger breeds like Mastiffs and Rottweilers. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I currently work part-time as a server, so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. This gives me plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop-ins, playtime, and making sure your pets get the attention and consistency they deserve. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and try my best to accommodate different schedules whenever possible. I treat every pet with patience, attention, and care because I truly believe animals deserve to be treated like family. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, leash safety, behavior, and any special needs your pet may have so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

I was responsible for taking them out, feeding, play time, walking, and just spending time with them. I love animals no matter how big or small they are. I work part time at night. I am very flexible with pet sitting needs. I have no rigid schedule which makes it easier for me to take of your pets. I always make sure to keep a eye on your loved pets and make sure all their needs are met. Guarantee you’ll come home to a happy dog!

About: Longtime pet owner and animal lover here! Nice to meet you :) From one pet owner to another, I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet while you are on a trip. That is why I feel so passionate about easing those worries and taking the best care of others pets for them. It is so special to be able to spend time with your fur babies, and to assure you that they will be taken care of so you don’t have any worries! It is my mission to take care of your pets as if they are my own. I always make sure to include lots of play and cuddle time. I include daily walks as well. I especially love to play games with them to tire out those active brains and make things more fun! Hide the treat is a favorite. I am currently in school part time. 3 days out of the week I am gone for about 5 hours. Every other day I would be there most of the day, and never gone for more than a couple hours. During drop in visits I always make sure to spend a few hours with the animals. Playing with them, taking them for walks, and of course giving them all the pets and loving. I know how hard it must be to be away from their family so I make sure that they have the best time while you are away and do not spend too much time alone. Whatever safety measures you require in your home I can make sure to accommodate! I can crate your dog if needed. And I always make sure walks are safe.

“Elizabeth was so helpful taking care of our two dogs while we were away! She didn't just let them out, but also walked them and was super communicative about how they were doing. We are so grateful for all her help and felt very confident our pups were well cared for in our absence.”

“Anthony and his wife Becca were EXCELLENT dog sitters and such kind people. I met them before the stay and knew they would be great. They immediately greeted Tia and played with her. I couldn’t be more happy knowing my dog was in such good hands! She gets anxious when we leave and I’ve been told in the past that she doesn’t eat well when we’re gone. Day one she was already eating all her food with them and they even sent me a picture! It eased my mind knowing she was comfortable with Anthony and Becca. I saw her some back from some walks on the ring looking so happy! They also sent me pictures and updates! Thank you so much Anthony and Becca!”

About: I have had a pug/beagle, chihuahua/doxen, and now a rat terrier growing up. I have dog sat for my family, who have a poodle mix and a terrier mix. While I do not have "professional experience," I love taking care of dogs and am quick to adapt to their needs. I'm currently working flexible hours, so I have plenty of time to get out and walk your dogs and play with them! I'll always make time for outside hours. My house does not have a fenced backyard, so my mom or I walk our dog twice a day because he has lots of energy. Sometimes, we go on trail walks, and oftentimes we take him to a nearby dog park.

“Emily was great! She stayed at our house for 5 nights, watching our 10 year old great Pyrenees. She was available to house sit with only a week's notice, which we are very grateful for. She had good communication on giving me updates and also very timely whenever I reached out. I had genuine peace of mind while we were out of state. House was just as clean as, maybe even cleaner than, when we left it, huge relief after our long day of flying. We came home to our happy sleeping dog! Our dog just required morning/evening feeding and morning/afternoon/evening potty breaks at a minimum, and Emily definitely put in more than the bare minimum. She gave our dog all the extra weather permitting outside play time and inside loves that I would have given my dog if I was home, so we are very happy with Emily! Definitely would rebook! Thank you Emily!”
