House Sitting in Friendship

“Joey was amazing as a dog walker and house sitter. We were gone for 10 days and he totally held down the fort! Our dog bonded well with him. Joey did a great job of taking care of our cherished family member and home. We’ll use him again and highly recommend.”

“She babysat for a week back, and was amazing she is very respectful and trust worthy and would be a great dog sitter for anyone in need!”

“Melissa has been amazing with animals since she was a young girl. Many times while in vacation I felt fortunate to have her as a neighbor to keep track of our beloved pets. From my daughter’s little critters like hamsters and even rats to our Family Great Danes she has always just taken such good care of them while we are away. She even took a friends Quaker parrot for a week while she went on vacation and did a great job with him. I highly recommend Melissa , and know she can handle the care of most any pet.”

“Elizabeth was wonderful! She stayed at our home for 6 nights, and replied to texts immediately and sent pictures of our 2 dogs and 2 cats everyday. The pets took to her right away. She has a calming demeanor and very polite. I highly recommend Elizabeth.”

“Krystina was flexible and accommodating, happily adjusting to changes in departure times and pet-care needs. Throughout her time with Trot and Tag, two large high-energy retrievers who are a handful for most, Krystina wore them out playing fetch in the backyard and sent me pictures with updates, allowing for a worry-free time away from home. Trot, and Tag had a great time hanging out with Krystina the past few days and are excited to have her sit again soon.”

About: My family owned an animal kennel rescue for a few years. It has given me very useful knowledge of what to do in emergency situations. It gives me a respect for the animal(s). I have had to act quickly before when an animal was hit by a car or bitten by another animal. So as drastic as those two things are I just want you to know I have been in those types of situations so if anything would happen to your fur baby I am ready to respond. I will go above and beyond to make sure your little baby comes home just as happy if not happier. I know how being away from mom/dad can make them sad. I want the owners to enjoy their trip or their day at work to the best of their abilities and not have to worry if their pet is being taken care of correctly. No more wondering, book me!! I look forward in meeting your pet. I am currently a full stay at home pet mom so I am here to watch your pet any time of day any day of week. We have a fair size yard for the dogs to play in. Some is fenced in and we are working on getting the rest of it enclosed. I do allow pets on the furniture. I will respect your rules though. I don’t want the animals to get confused. As long as they didn’t just play in a mud puddle, We will continue to follow your rules. I do not want them to get confused when it times to go back home or for you to come home. I will respect anything you would want me to follow. I am a very easy going person. And we look forward in meeting your pet.

“Sofia took great care of our puppy Leo. She was very accommodating and took sittings in short notice. We feel extremely comfortable and happy to have Sofia dog sit our Leo again.”

About: I quickly became a dog mom when my partner moved into my house with his 5 year old dog Sampson. I fell in love with our daily walks in the field behind our house, as well as having something to take care of in the house. Sampson listens, he is a dog I can walk off leash and the best cuddle buddy. Because of his good nature I soon found myself growing our family by the addition of two puppies. Hank was our first pup - he is a Great pyreenes mixed with a Bernese Mountain Dog. Think fluffy, slobbery, and 140 pounds. I wasn't sure how a big dog and myself would get along but I found his size comforting. Stella was a dog we failed at fostering. She is a smaller terrier mix and is teaching me the true purpose of crates and leashes. I learn every day how to be better for my dogs. It is chaotic, messy and unpredictable living with three dogs but I wouldn't change it for anything. I am by no means a perfect dog owner but I understand the complexities and uniqueness of each dog and their personalities. I rely on being consistent and predictable for my dogs so they continue to trust me to take care of them. Their health and happiness is my priority. I am a school teacher. When school is in session I am free after 5pm. When we are on break for holidays or summer, I am free anytime. At my house, I don't have a fenced in yard but we have over 20 acres to walk. I am comfortable walking dogs on a leash. I have a crate for a medium to small sized dog and an outdoor "doggio" for warmer days or if a furry friend wants some time outdoors relaxing. I have three dogs, one of which is a very large and enjoys rough housing with other dogs. We have lots of toys and a house that that continues to become dog proof. We let our dogs on the couches and they have a large living room to play in.

“Lauren has watched our dogs for years now. She watched are old dog, who adored her, and now she watches both our newer dogs. She is always attentive to them and they absolutely love having her stay with them. She always makes sure they are given some extra snuggles to comfort them while we are gone. I love that she sends us random cute photos of them too. Our little dog, who tends to be more timid of people, even has a soft spot for Lauren. She really is a great dog sitter.”
