House Sitting in Grand Mound

About: I have experience with a variety of animals. Yes cats and dogs, but I also have experience caring for small livestock, poultry, and small exotics. I can confidently care for any and all animals brought my way. I'm a former 4-H kid and have grown up around animals, so I love getting to care for animals and always provide top-notch care. I am graduating from college and will be most likely unemployed during the summer, so I will have tons of free time to spend with your pets. I literally have nothing else going on minus occasional trips out to spend time with friends or volunteer places. So I can make your pet's schedule fit around mine easily for the next few months! When I am house and pet sitting, I treat my clients home and pets like they are my own space/my own pets. I am very respectful of the space I am in and I shower all animals I am taking care of with love and affection. I always want to do a meet-and-greet beforehand with the owners present so the animals will know me (and hopefully be more comfortable with me) before I am suddenly staying in their home. I do everything I can to help pets feel comfortable with me in their space.

“Rachel house sat for me for almost 3 weeks while I went to Africa. She is the absolute best person to leave your fur babies with!! I got updates on how my dog and cat were doing frequently, along with pictures. She took excellent care of my house as well. I would highly recommended Rachel to anyone. Your fur babies will be well loved and well taken care of!”

About: I am very good at sticking to routines, I make sure to double check all the steps and be extra careful around dogs and what they might need. I am currently going to college and will be available every weekday in the morning and afternoons. I am also available weekends in the afternoon and evenings. I try to make them as comfortable as possible with the least amount of stress, and while I don't spoil them (unless the owner says to do so) I do treat them with an abundance of love and care!

“Brogan stayed with my two dogs for five days as a house sitter. Brogan was great: he sent photos, my girls liked him and he left the house so neat, I had to ask which room he used. I would use him again.”

“Jackie (Kirsten) was an excellent choice for our dog while we were on vacation. She was friendly and really a natural when interacting with our nervous dog. We felt confident that it was a good fit, and we were correct. Jackie communicated with us via email and sending photos daily. We came home to a happy dog. We plan on using her services in the future!”

“Melanie has won our hearts! She is a trusted sitter that cares deeply for your animals! She was able to manage our expectations at our first meet up and took time to get to know the animals’ personalities. We HIGHLY recommend her as a sitter. She sends pictures and sends updates that are so detailed. She goes above and beyond! Our animals are truly loved when she comes to pet sit!”

“Toni was beyond amazing! She gave our dogs so much love and kept them company when we were gone. So much so that when we got home they were excited to see us for 15 minutes then slept the rest of the day! I am forever grateful for her and her family even more so for caring for my one pupper who had a health episode when in her care. They handed everything amazing and took amazing care of him. I would love to book her again!”

Melanie F.

“Mckinzie took excellent care of our pooch, house and yard! She was very sensitive to our shy dog’s personality and they ended up good friends! We appreciated her quick response time too. We will definitely use Mckinzie again in the future!”

About: Animal lover here! I take very good care of dogs of all kinds as demonstrated by my volunteer and pet sitting experience. I have volunteered at shelters with scared dogs large and small, fostered and trained shelter puppies, was a babysitter for puppy raisers with Guide Dogs for the Blind and served client families as a professional pet sitter. My role for others' fur babies is to provide care so that they have their needs met in their parents' absence. I am a great surrogate parent! I like to keep dog routines continued to minimize stress on pets and their people. For parents that don't have the time or for dogs that can use additional exercise, I can take dogs out for walks. I have also been a cat mom of 4 at once and love cats too! I have my dog, Brodie, and my routine revolves around him. I make sure he gets the memtal and physical stimulation and exercise he needs to be healthy and happy. I want to help my clients and pets with this as well for their families. I have a fenced yard and very dog-friendly set up at home. At client's homes, I respect the space and help pets feel secure in their routines with attention and care.

“All good with Ariana! The puppies Chidi and Ellie had a great time playing with Ariana's puppies, everything was in good order when I returned, no complaints from the puppies! Thank you!”

“Josh accepted our last minute request so that we could leave town for a funeral and even arrived at 4:30 am for our early flight. He took great care of our dogs and even checked to make sure things were good with our reptile. In addition he left the house as he found it and cleaned up after himself.”

“Amanda is a WONDERFUL pet sitter!!! Her calm, kind, and caring demeanor brought our kitty Hazel out of her shell. Amanda sent us photos from every visit and we could see that Hazel was happy and thriving. Amanda's professionalism, reliability, excellent communication and attention to detail gave us peace of mind while we were away.”

About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.

“Words can’t begin to describe how much Erica went above and beyond to nurture, care, and absolutely SPOIL (!) our dogs during an overnight stay! Her communication was fantastic, the house was left in pristine condition, and our dogs couldn’t have been happier. She even took the extra time to tend to our dogs’ special needs (we have a geriatric little one and very hyper golden retriever), and she sent thorough videos and pictures that brought us much joy. We were blown away by Erica, and would be so lucky to use her in the future!”
