House Sitting in Grand Ridge

“Mario did a really nice job caring for my little cattle dog Lucy while house sitting for me! He was communicative, kind, caring, and followed the instructions I left for my dog and my house. I’ve moved into this area recently and have not been able to find a reliable pet sitter to stay in my home when I am away for work- until now :) I will definitely reach out to Mario again as my top choice. Thank you again!”

About: I have over a decade of experience previously working as a veterinary technician and sport dog trainer (flyball, agility, etc). I also spent many years as a foster home for several rescues so have a lot of experience working with different breeds and personality types. I have expert experience with active sport dog breeds - Border Collies, Aussies, Cattle Dogs, Shepherds, etc. Very flexible! Finishing an online master's program and home all day especially during regular work hours. Available for last minute needs when you're in a bind! I worked in several animal ERs until early 2023 with tech and triage experience. I am well versed in veterinary and emergency knowledge as well as a strong background in competitive national dog sport level of training.

“Julia was very communicative and went above and beyond for my animals and even my home. Thank you for everything you did to help me make this trip possible! Highly recommend and will 1000% have her back to live up on my babies again in the future!”

“Dylan is amazing!! Very communicative, was comfortable watching our 3 month old puppy :) had no issues at all. We had no worries leaving Mac with her. Have already rebooked for a few other occasions. Highly recommend!”

“Alicia is one of the most devoted and caring dog mom's I have had the pleasure of knowing. She takes her pup on wonderful adventures and she will treat your dog as if it's her own.”

“Emily is fabulous! She has worked with Cats, Dogs, Donkeys, and Horses just to name a few. She loves them all. She has an ability to truly understand how they are feeling about stuff. She talks to them like people. I honestly have never seen an animal respond to her in a negative way.”

“Joshua is the most determined person I’ve ever met. He is intelligent but most of all he uses that intelligent well to be very clear. However, he does have his flaws. He has a confidence, although well-founded, it is hard to overlook. However, when you need him to be there he will be there.”

“Kathleen is absolutely amazing with our fur babies. She always comes when she says she will. She gives them extra love and attention and she insures their safety. We wouldn't trust our 3 dogs and 4 cats with anyone else!”

“Amanda is absolutely amazing! She was caring for our dog while we were away when our dog got very sick. She did everything to make her comfortable and to feel better until we returned. Amanda is very knowledgeable and compassionate when it comes to caring for animals and we couldn’t have left our fur baby in better hands!”

“Brittany is very pt and caring with my dogs. She treats them like they are her own. She stayed with them while I was out of town and always texted me and sent pics. If anyone asks about a dog walker I always refer them to her and she’s very reasonable . I’m so glad I found her and anyone would be happy to have her for their dogs Michele S.”

“Ellie is a great option for pet care giving! She will go out of her way to make sure your dog is getting the best care. She is responsible and has a background in caring for animals as well. She always goes above and beyond for me and my dogs!”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and have always been passionate about them since I was a kid. I wanting to be a vet when I grew up but life took a different turn and I settled on being a veterinary assistant. I continue to learn daily about their food, exercise and energy needs to be healthy, happy, content pets. I am blessed to make a living doing what I love and helping animals to be at their best! I currently have 4 dogs and 5 cats and besides my 2 grown kids and 2 grandkids they are the loves of my life!! I hope one day to be able to have a senior sanctuary for pets in my home to provide a safe loving atmosphere to seniors in their last years. I currently work 10 hour days , 4 days a week and mostly have weekends off. I can accommodate weekday evenings check ins and walks and anytime on weekends. I can come to your home and follow a specific guideline that you have scheduled for your pet. I understand how pets get accustomed to a certain routine and come to look forward to and expect scheduled playtime, meals and treats. I also know how they can get lonely while their people are away and just want some attention and cuddle time.

About: I love listening to music drawing painting, taking long walks so I can do that with your animals as well. Love animals more than humans lolll and all my kids are in school. I have one child that’s in Football so between practices I can take dogs for walks. Very flexible Artist. Have a 1 acre farm three children that love animals love to give them baths love to take them for a walking trips- and love love love

“Promise did an outstanding job. Great communication that made you feel comfortable and she shared updates everyday with pictures. If you have a question she responds quickly. Upon returning home Promise left our home perfectly clean and in order. I trust her she’s an outstanding reliable loving dog sitter. Most of all our dogs loved her. I would recommend her to everyone. She is always welcome here.”

“Amanda is a someone who truly loves caring for and playing with animals. She is reliable and trustworthy, and will give your pet all the love and attention they deserve while you are away. Amanda will treat your pet as if they were her own, and I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Kayla was great with Loka! It was really nice to know that our pup was relaxed and taken care of while we were away. Would definitely book with Kayla again.”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life. From the moment I was born I grew up with Doberman Pinschers so big dogs don’t scare me off. Just recently I’ve gotten a miniature dachshund and she is the best of friends with my current male Doberman. I live up to the challenge if you have a dog with some health issues. I’ve been through it personally with my own so if I need to administer medication it’s no problem at all. Potty breaks I make sure are frequent as I’m still trying to potty train my little one as she’s very stubborn about it. I welcome working with cats as well! I’ve never had one, however, I have lots of family and friends who do for which I am constantly around. If you also have pets that aren’t cats or dogs I would love to help you out! More often available on the weekends or a day during the week on Wednesday on my days off from work. If you have specific days in mine I will need to know ahead of time. I can stop by early in the morning before work and then after work (no more than 9 hours at most between) I have not yet cared for clients pets in my own home, looking to build up a bigger portfolio before doing moving forward with that

“I am delighted to write this testimonial for Bryce, who is an exceptional and responsible pet owner. I have had the pleasure of knowing Bryce for several years, and during this time, I have witnessed their unwavering dedication and love for their furry companions. Bryce’s commitment to the well-being of their animals is truly commendable. They prioritize the health, happiness and safety of their animals above all else. What sets Bryce apart is his genuine affection and love for animals. It’s evident in the way they interact with their pets with patience, kindness, and understanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Bryce as a pet sitter to anyone looking for a compassionate and responsible caregiver for their animals. Their dedication, love and sense of responsibility make them an exemplary pet sitter, and any pet would be lucky to have them.”

“Scott loves animals and takes very good care of them. Your pets will be in good hands with him. He is very experienced and compassionate.”

About: I have had pets since I was a kid, and all through my life I have had some sort of animal. Big or small, I have tons of experience with all kinds. Now, I have 14 fur/feather/scale babies of my own and I am going to IVCC to getting my associates in science and majoring in wildlife bio. I am out of school for the summer and looking for anything really. Full time or part time. And any time of the night or day is fine with me. I have 14 pets, no dogs or cats, but I did have plenty of them growing up. Right now we have 6 birds, three different kinds, ((3 of them are house ducks)) a snake and the rest are smaller animals rabbit, piggy's, ferret etc. The rabbit is free roam, the birds and other animals all have their own free roam/fly time. Our house is on a set schedule as soon as the sun peeks through, lol, the ducks let us know, it's time to get the day started. Due to us having this many kiddos, we do plan long days ahead of time so everything is adjusted properly so everyone is taken care of. I am no stranger to getting dirty or dealing with any type of mess. Depending on the weather, we are outside as much as possible with a number of them and always trying to find new ways to keep their little minds engaged.
