House Sitting in Fields

“Back to back stays and we couldn't be happier. Our dog was not on her best behavior for this one, but Shelly rolled with it and really saved the day. We are so fortunate to have found you on Rover. Thank you Shelly!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. I’ve always had animals in my household. Neighbors, family, and friends have always trusted me to watch their furry friends while they were away. I work part time at a school from august to may. I have plenty of time every day at home to watch and play with your animals. I have a large fenced in yard for my dogs at home. I live with parents so my dogs have multiple people to let them out and play when needed. In clients homes I let them out often and I am able to walk them and play with them frequently.

“She was great and very communicative! Would definitely use again!”

About: I've taken care of pets all of my life. From puppies all the way up to seniors. I love them all. They all need someone to care for them and feel the extra love especially when their normal family is away. I'm currently flexible and can fit pet care into my daily routine. Occasionally, I will pick up an additional job. But that shouldn't interrupt with taking care of what I love to do and that is to take care of fur babies. I would rather take care of your pets in their environment due to the fact that they are most comfortable there. I also have two fur babies of my own. But I feel as if fur babies are normally happy in their own surroundings.

About: I did an internship at medical mutts where I trained service dogs and helped take care of them. I’ve watched friends dogs. I train dogs too! I’m not really doing anything, so I’m available pretty much whenever, I am totally flexible. I can do long term or short term schedules. I want your dog to be safe! I’m unfortunately not able to do boarding at my house, but I can take your dog out to see my little brothers or my grandma because she loves dogs, I can take your dog to the park and I can even train your dog!

“Christina was fantastic! She took excellent care of our pets while we were away. We have two big dogs and three cats, and they all settled in with her super quickly and were very comfortable! She sent plenty of pictures and updates and also took great care of our home. We definitely would have Christina pet sit again in the future!”

“Stacey was amazing and went above and beyond for me and my pets. She mentioned she has 3 large dogs and her experience really showed. At one point I ran out of dog food and she offered to go pick some up. She also watched over my guinea pig and took great care of him, since she has rabbits of her own. I will definitely be booking her again and again!”

“Zoe was very attentive and communicative. Warner and Vivie loved having her hangout with them and are already looking forward to having her back!”

About: Have been around dogs my entire life. I have siblings with multiple dogs and whenever they are out of town I am always the one they have watch them. Currently just graduated and I don’t start my job until June. I’m free all times of the day and any day of the week works. Spend time with them and make sure they’re are staying out of trouble. Treat every animal the right way when taking care of them at all times.

“Abbi did great-she was quick to respond, friendly throughout her time at our house, and she took great care of our animals. We will absolutely book abbi again!”

About: I’ve had over 10 years of experience caring for dogs from growing up around them and helping care for family pets. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, giving lots of attention, and making sure dogs feel comfortable and safe. I also studied with the goal of becoming a veterinarian, which helped me learn more about animal behavior and proper care. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of different sizes and personalities. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I have a dog of my own and have grown up around animals. I’m already used to responsibilities like feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for every day. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so pet care feels like a rewarding part of my routine rather than just a task. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they’re in my home or a client’s home. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions from the owner. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, patience, and supervision so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I keep the environment clean, calm, and pet friendly at all times.

“Kimberly was so good with our little cat! She was so kind and took great care of our home and fur baby! She even gave our cat who doesn’t isn’t good with medication her meds twice a day and sent us pics of our baby while we were on vacation! Will absolutely be booking with her again!”

“Andrew took good care of my dogs for three days. He sent picture and video updates and kept my place clean. I’ll be booking with Andrew again.”

“We have 2 dogs. 6 month old puppy and 4 year old. Susan helped train them. She walked them and had them outside playing every day. They were treated like royalty! She’s wonderful to communicate with. You can tell she is very experienced with dogs. We felt like we won the lottery.”

About: **I have 4 years experience fostering and training reactive, aggressive, and fearful dogs. I’ve seen many transform into well-adjusted companions under my care** I have years of experience caring for and tending to older dogs and cats with various health issues like hip dysplasia and incontinence, in addition to puppy and kitten care, too. I am patient and kind even with the highest maintenance puppies. I fostered neglected/previously abused dogs with Carolina Adopt-A-Bulls rescue for over 4 years. I am very experienced with mitigating leash reactivity and caring for heartworm-positive pets throughout their treatment, and I look out for dangerous situations before they happen. I am well versed in canine first aid and wound care. I am also a foster volunteer through the Bloomington Animal Shelter. I do not currently have a foster dog. I am attentive, caring, experienced, and kind. I can’t wait to meet your pets. I am a doctoral student, so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I’m booked up until 6pm on Wednesdays, but have more flexibility the rest of the week. I can take your pup for walks around the neighborhood, campus, or the many parks Bloomington has to offer. I have a comfy dog bed for canine visitors to lounge in while I’m studying.

“Once again - Sarah did an amazing job! She communicated well and took wonderful care of our fur babies and our home. She even helped with some gardening! Sarah is welcome anytime!!”

“Gracie is absolutely wonderful! She is very friendly and easy to work with—she came right out to do an initial meet and greet to see if we were a good fit. She has been just great with our animals, clearly spending a lot of quality time with them, and she has been very reliable and responsive with communicating. Gracie is a great house guest too—she left the house in pristine condition ! We felt very comfortable leaving our home and animals in her care for the first time, and will be definitely be using her again. We highly recommend her services 😁”
