House Sitting in Garretson

“Melanie is a true animal lover, kind, and caring person. I felt very safe and secure going away for a few days and having her take care of my dogs and home. She was aware and asked questions that helped me know my dogs were in great hands. So glad to have found Melanie and look forward to having her watch my dogs again in the future!”

“Josephine is the sweetest person I know! She cares for dogs like no other and she truly cares and loves whatever animal she comes in contact with. She used to walk our dog every week and he was absolutely in love with her. He knew whenever Josephine came around it meant that love, attention, and walks were coming his way. I recommend Josephine to anyone who wants their pet taken care of properly!!”

“We love having Kate stay with our pups. She is always great about getting them out of the house for exercise and sends us updates. Highly recommend!”

“Samantha was great to work with ! She has a kind and pleasant nature and took great care of our 2 pups while we were away for the day. She communicated well and provided updates throughout their stay. We came home to some tired and happy pups ☺️!”

“Kaleigh has a special relationship with animals and their humans. She understands pets are family and loves them as her own. Kaleigh gets to know each animal’s personality and genuinely cares about their preferences and routine. As someone who has a dog that is very particular with people and has special needs including medication, this put me at ease. My dog Cooper and Kaleigh formed an instant bond which made it enjoyable for us all whenever I was away. Not to mention, I always came back to a clean home, just as I left it! She provided updates about the fun things they did and always included the important details about mealtimes, meds, and potty breaks, quickly notifying me of any changes or concerns. I could always tell Cooper loved when Kaleigh came to visit…he even does the cutest head tilt when I mention her name! Kaleigh will quickly go from being a your dog sitter to your dog’s new best friend!!”

About: I am a avid dog lover with a open heart and unconditional love for dogs. I have experience raising aggressive dogs and lap dogs. I am very patient with special needs dogs and dogs that need more time adapting. I love taking long walks and playing with dogs. I know dog CPR, am willing to admister oral medication, bathe your dog and brush as well. Basically, I will treat your dog like a member of my family as he/she is a member of yours. This isn't a full-time service for me, but I am willing to give 110% to taking care of your family member. I do prefer at least a 12 hour notice for any cancelation. I am also 100% committed to your directions as to how to care for your family member. My schedule is completely open to Rover services. If Rover services are needed overnight, I just ask for a 8-12 hours notice. The love for animals is always a priority in my daily routine. I live on 10 acres and have 2 friendly dogs of my own. I have a large walking area on my property where I walk my own pets on a leash.

“Megan did such a great job watching my dogs. She kept me updated thru out the day and followed all my directions and schedule. Highly recommend her!”

“Jazlyn was a real professional and yet loved up our animals during our week long vacation. She is also an amazing house sitter. Our bishonshitzu came down w a UTI right before we left and she handled the meds for that and our dog w allergies beautifully. The peace of mind to have her house and animal sit was just amazingly impactful to how our trip went. It was also so wonderful coming home to her keeping our house so clean and her smile. While we were gone she kept us updated on the dogs and cats activities by text and photos. She even went so far as to play with them with a snuffle mat we had on her own. She was a delight and we definitely will use her again! 5+stars. Thank you Jazlyn!”

“Alexandra was booked on super short notice and she was fantastic! We will definitely be using her again! We were so pleased with her and would definitely recommend her.”

“Kalianna was excellent with my rescued mastiff. She provided plenty of updates and photos and kept very busy providing Axel with time outside and activities, going above and beyond. I could tell that Axel felt very safe, happy, and comfortable in Kalianna's care. She is also very well educated on canine behavior and is empathetic and kind. Kalianna followed all of my instructions and was flexible and understanding when my return travel was delayed. Additionally, I came home to a perfectly clean house with all the dishes done (which was not at all expected!). I am so happy that we found Kalianna and I look forward to having her work with Axel again soon. She is a wonderful pet professional. Thank you!!!”

“Karen took care of our two dogs (sharpie-lab mix and French bulldog) while we were on a 10 day trip. I knew they were in good hands and getting lots of love. She played fetch with them, took them for walks, ensured they received their medicine, and got lots of cuddles. My dogs fell in love with Karen and she has a special bond with them. She also tended to my 3 chickens and gave them the same amount of care. Never once did I worry that our animals and house wasn’t being cared for and I felt so much more at ease knowing I didn’t have to lock them in a kennel. I would give Karen a 10/10 rating and highly recommend her!”

“Kelsey was great! She checked in with me every day and gave me updates of how they were doing. Our basement even flooded while she was sitting and gave me feedback with that as well. We’ll be using her again in the future!”

“We were so happy with the care Eliza gave to our 3 spoiled dogs. She took excellent care of our dogs. We would definitely recommend her. We will be rebooking Eliza on our next trip.”

“Kelsy was so accommodating with a short notice to sit at our house. Great communication, several updates, and had a clean house and happy pup when we returned. Would definitely request her again!”

“Carrie was wonderful! She sent updates with pictures! Thank you Carrie for being so professional, sweet and for all the pics and updates! …Jen”

“Ellie was attentive and careful and willingly extended her services a day when my flight was delayed.”

About: As a dog owner eager to dog sit, I approach the opportunity with enthusiasm and responsibility. I understand the importance of creating a safe and welcoming environment for the visiting dog, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while in my care. From providing regular walks and playtime to maintaining their feeding schedule and administering any necessary medications, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the dog. Clear communication with the owner about their pet's routines, preferences, and any special needs is key to ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Dog sitting allows me to expand my furry family temporarily and provides me with the joy of forming new bonds with dogs of all shapes and sizes. As a part-time student with open availability, I have the flexibility to dedicate ample time and attention to dog sitting. With my schedule accommodating classes and study sessions, I can offer consistent care and companionship to furry guests during my free hours. Whether it's midday walks, playtime in the park, or evening cuddles, I can tailor my availability to meet the needs of both the dogs and their owners. This flexibility allows me to combine my passion for animals with my academic pursuits, creating a balanced lifestyle that brings joy and fulfillment. Caring for dogs in an apartment requires attention to their needs and adapting to the limited space available. I prioritize regular exercise by taking them for walks multiple times a day, utilizing nearby parks or green spaces for longer outings. Indoor play sessions, puzzle toys, and interactive games help keep them mentally stimulated and physically active, even within the confines of the apartment. Establishing a designated area for meals, water, and rest ensures they have a comfortable and consistent routine. Regular grooming and hygiene maintenance, such as brushing and nail trimming, are also essential for their well-being. Additionally, I make sure to follow any apartment rules regarding pets and be considerate of neighbors to maintain a harmonious living environment for everyone. Overall, providing love, attention, and appropriate care allows dogs to thrive happily in an apartment setting.

“Becky was great-she was easy to communicate with, sent photos of play time, and flexible with out travel plans. We came home to happy, tired puppies and couldn't ask for more than that.”

“Erica was so great? We highly recommend her!!”

About: My significant other and I live in a house with 3 dogs and 2 roommates. Collectively, we take our dogs (who are more like out kids since we are all 30 something's without kids)on a walk in our open pasture backyard and let them run around at least twice a day! Our dogs are spoiled and loved as they should be! We play ball and snuggle and they sleep with us too:) We'd love to love your pet while you're away!
