House Sitting in Granville

“Tim was great. We booked a 5 hour whale watch tour and needed someone to walk/ take care of our dog in Bar Harbor while we were out. He works for the company to was able to help check us in and then take care of our dog for the day. We very much appreciated his willingness to help us!”

About: My love of dogs has taken me so many places! For over a decade, I worked as a guide dog instructor at an internationally recognized guide dog school, learning and putting into practice everything about dog behavior, training, and the human-animal bond. That time is long past, but I still just love dogs: their personalities, their quirks, and their people. I'm experienced with pups to seniors, the tiny to the giant, the healthy to the ailing. I try to help each dog feel comfortable and happy, and help their people feel the same way. 😊 I also have plenty of experience caring for other animals: cats, horses, goats, chickens... I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, so from Thursday night through Tuesday morning, dogs have a lot of human company all day long. Mid-week (Tues, Wed, Thurs), dogs are exercised in the morning, spend the work day relaxing at home, and the human fun begins again the evening. In my home: I have a large unfenced yard; boarding dogs are on long line to exercise outdoors and are not left unattended outdoors(!). I have one medium-sized, friendly dog, and one cat. I can crate your dog if you or they like, or give them a crate as an option. In your home: I am not the most straightforward or cheapest option for house-sitting; I have a dog of my own (can be accommodated elsewhere temporarily) and sometimes teenagers. However, I might be what you're looking for if you have special circumstances: multiple pets that need experienced management, pets with special medical or behavioral needs, or reliable care for a small farm.

“Shalee did an amazing job pet sitting in my home while I was out of town. Definitely will be asking for more booking in the future!”

“Brittany was wonderful with our two pups when we took a 5 day trip to Florida. She spent 5 nights at our house, walked the dogs, fed them and took such great care of them. We can’t thank her enough.”

“Bambi was so easy to work with. The pups and kitten were in such amazing spirits when we returned, and the house was even cleaner than we left it! She was very responsive, and even took a trip to the house before the stay to meet the gang, and get to know the place. Highly recommend.”

“Mark is fantastic! We used him as a sitter for our pups over a holiday weekend and not only did they love him, but we did too. Mark's love for dogs is clear so it made trusting him with our fluffy kids much easier. We definitely plan on using Mark again in the future. Thank you sir!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a little kid! I have experience with pets of all types, ages & personalities. Friends & family have relied on me to walk, feed & housesit for their animals. I work full time time job but I have most mornings free. My schedule rotates so I would not be able to have the same availability every week, but please reach out with dates & times! I would love to make something work. I can come to your house and walk your dog. If you are interested in an overnight board at my house the dog would have to be good with my 15lb poodle mix & two cats. It would be ideal that the dog comes with a crate to stay in, as my dog is crated as well when we are out of the house. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I live near a dog park, and in a nice spot to walk dogs.

“Luke did a very good job taking care of my boys and keeping in touch so we knew all was good. It was the first time I had to leave my guys so we were a bit nervous.”

“My dogs absolutely adored Alissa! I think they were almost disappointed when we came home! The were happy and stress free and my house was tidy. I really do not think that you can ask for anything more.”

About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was a little girl. I have walked and cared for many animals. I have experience volunteering at local animal shelters as well. I am currently a teacher, and I am looking for summer work to keep me busy! I hope you consider me when looking for the perfect match to care for your animals! I will have plenty of time to care for your animals, as I am a teacher and have an open schedule in the summer! I have no problem waking up early, or traveling for work! I am very respectful when it comes to caring for animals, I have my own pets and understand the value of hiring someone you can trust. I also understand the responsibility of caring for animals in someone's home. I can guarantee you nothing but respect when working with your animals!

“Colleen was great! Very communicative, took excellent care of our old doggo, and was neat as a pin. No hesitation about asking her to come back.”

“Honestly the best experience!!! Laura was SO amazing. She took great care of my pup (who’s basically my baby) and sent plenty of updates while I was away. I was a little nervous to have someone new watch my pup but it was totally worth it because now I have my new go to! THANKS SO MUCH LAURA, YOU’RE THE BEST!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and other animals throughout my whole life. I enjoy my time with the animals and they can definitely tell! I do work everyday during the week, but I am available after work which would be 5pm sometimes sooner and also anytime on the weekends! I will do whatever I can to make sure your dog feels comfortable while here, whether it’s playing with them, petting or taking them on a walk!

About: I grew up in a house with dogs and cats, and eventually found a love for horses. I was an equine health manager for a summer camp, where I gave oral and IV medications, prepared individual diets and monitored herd health. Through my career and personal life I’ve worked with horses, goats, chickens, reptiles, amphibians, and various education creatures. I’m happy to chill with senior pets or hike a mountain with a puppy, just let me know your needs! Looking to fill my schedule with about 20 hours a week of pet care services! I’m working FT at another position and enjoy my outside time walking dogs or hanging inside with snuggly pets. While I do not have space to bring pets to my home to sleep, I am able to stay overnight in client’s homes if that is what their pet needs.

About: Hello folks, I am an experienced animal caretaker with a background in fostering pets. I have cared for dogs, cats, other domestic pets, and farm animals. My clients, friends and family have entrusted me to watch their animals since I was 12. I believe that direct communication with pet owners will allow me to provide a safe and engaging experience for your animals. I work part-time from 10 am - 2 pm throughout the week. My work days change frequently but I am available outside of these hours for your caretaking needs. I will not be providing services in my home at this time. For pet sitting and walking services, I am available to stay in your home or do daily check ins. My goal is to be an accessible source for your animal while you travel or are at work. I will be available 24/7 via email or text after you book my services. Please provide me with any medical, dietary, or enrichment needs for your animal when you book my services. I always adhere to my clients wishes and will do my best to stick with your pet’s daily routine while in my care. If you have a dog who is friendly, I can provide additional enrichment with my three year old pup Zeus.

About: I grew up on a farm and have had a love for animals my entire life.I have always had pets of my own and use to breed English Bulldogs.I go abooand beyond for my pets and can give great references. I have a very structured schedule, and if it works, I could take care of your animals to fit around my schedule as well as theirs I prefer to sit in your home as I have 4 dogs of my own.I am honest ,trustworthy and reliable.Lots of snuggles and love given.I am the queen of dispensing medicine as well if need be.

About: I've had dogs in my home at all times since I was born. We've had puppies, rescues and everything in between. I do not have my own pet, however, I've been house/dog sitting for 10 years now mainly by word of mouth. I'm excited to start this new adventure on Rover meeting and caring for your family(pups). I rent a home that comes with an acre of land. I like taking the pups on adventures such as hikes, ice creams dates, and swimming! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I'm free on the weekends so I will always be with your pup. On week days I generally work 9am-430pm so your pup would be alone roughly 8:30am to 4:45pm. My mom enjoys helping out and as long as they are a friendly dog, she will stop at my house halfway through the day to allow some stretching and potty breaks. I am diligent about keeping dogs on leashes as my yard is not fenced in. I also have a large lead that has worked well for other dogs I've watched. My house is always locked up. I have a clean driving record so your pups will always be safe if we travel at all. I have a number of references that can vouch for my honesty and integrity. If you are ever interested in hearing from my reference, please ask. I know the location of the nearest emergency vet if anything were to happen. I keep a clean, organized home so you won't have to worry about your dog getting into something they shouldn't, like the garbage!

About: In my house, our pets are our family and they rule the house. My goal as a pet sitter is to provide animals with the best care and put owners at ease while they’re away. I have found a passion for caring for others’ animals which started many years ago when i began volunteering. From volunteering, I have experience with many different breeds and sizes of both dogs and cats and I also have experience administering medication, taking care of dogs with special needs, and LOTS of drool! By word of mouth, I have gained many clients in my area and continue to provide the best care I can for every family and their furry friends! I am currently a sophomore at Siena College. Therefore, while classes are in session, I stick to weekends only. In the summertime, I am available every day of the week and I typically work 4-6 hour days. I offer in-home care at the convenience of you and your pets. Boarding is expensive and pets are nowhere nears as spoiled as they would be with me! Keeping your pets in your home while you are gone will ease their anxiety (as well as yours) and provide the best level of comfort for them. I offer the in-home care as well as dog walking and occasional drop-ins!

About: I am a vet tech assistant, going for my vet tech degree. I have worked in veterinary clinics for over 2 yrs. I have experiences with animals from reptiles, to kittens/puppies, and horses. I plan to pet sit on my days off/up to the first night I have to go into work, which would be Wednesday afternoon around 3pm is the last time I am available for a drop in varying on location could be earlier or a tad later. I love animals very dearly as I have 5 of my own and work in the veterinary medicine industry to help as many as I can. I will make sure your pets are well taken care of. Whether that be a bath, given treats, taken for a walk, let them run in your backyard, car ride, or even just relaxing in the living room. I will treat them as if they were my own.
