House Sitting Grider

“Marideth was absolutely amazing with my boys (cats) while I was out of town for the week. Both of my cats currently have medical requirements - one needs an inhaler daily for asthma and the other on multiple pills. I know this can be a tricky role for anyone to step into and navigate. Marideth handled this extra task with confidence and care. She kept me updated with photos and messages and made sure both my boys were happy while I was away. It was such a huge relief to have her there and know they were in capable hands. She went above and beyond and I absolutely will be booking with her again!”

About: One of my biggest passions is saving animals lives through fostering. My fostering experience has provided me many skills necessary to care for animals with varying needs, including young kittens, diabetic cats, XXS chihuahuas, and XXL breed dogs. Due to my experience in healthcare, I've provided many sub-cutaneous injections for diabetes maintenance and drug responsibilities. I've handled many small rodents including mice, and am comfortable with handling and providing care for smaller pets. I've managed care for animals with severe anxiety by providing them with daily psychiatric meds, and animals needing physical support with supplements, weight loss interventions (diet foods and safe, increased exercise), as well as animals with stranger fear. As a full time professional student, my mornings are often occupied by lectures, and Tuesday/Wednesday afternoons may be partially occupied for school responsibilities. I am very flexible, and can attend to pet care duties before, in between, and after my classes. I am open to over night stays and higher-maintenance care tasks, such as providing care for animals that require behavioral or psychiatric support during their family members absence. I enjoy playing with pets, within their boundaries of comfort. I have become apt at recognizing animals mood states, so I can properly respond to fear, excitement, anxiety, pulling on the leash, and over reactivity as necessary. I enjoy taking dogs on frequent walks if that is comfortable for them, and give occasional treats to reward 'good' behavior, such as sitting or laying down on command, and waiting to be fed. I am comfortable being cuddly with animals, and being very close and physical with them, if that fits in their boundaries. In my apartment I cannot host dogs, however, there are many parks and fields right in my backyard that I can bring your dogs to that they will enjoy.

“Haley was wonderful with our animals. Great communication, sent pics, and left the house better than how she found it. Thanks Haley! Till next time.”

“I found Izzy at the perfect time. We needed a last minute sitter and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She sent us awesome updates and loved on our sometimes selective pup. You could tell he felt so safe with her and we were able to relax knowing he was in good hands. Already telling everyone I know to book with Izzy!”

Rachel R.

“Forest is a great sitter for our pets. We were fostering a dog last minute and Forest was able to take that on unexpectedly. He was super patient with a dog that was totally new to us and pretty fearful. He sends lots of updates and pictures. We appreciated his help tons!”

“We just moved across the US. We had to go back to our state for nine days. I had a greater peace of mind with Jessica watching our dogs. Very thankful. She sent pictures FaceTime a couple times. To say hi to our babies. I enjoyed the experience. I would hire her again. Kogi and Gus enjoyed her.”

Jesse T.

“Jackie watched our sweet and sensitive boy. She was very communicative and our pup was his normal self when we came home which is a great sign. she even took time to walk our pup a few times before we went away, which was super helpful.We feel so much more confident planning trips!”

“Judith was wonderful! Sent tons of pics to us and I can see in those pictures that our boys were well cared for and having a great time. The house was left cleaner than when we left bc she even swept the kitchen floor!!! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Judith to take care of our boys during every trip we take!”

Jill M.

“Samara did a great job! Our dog is anxious and has her quirks and Samara took it all into consideration when watching her. For some reason our dog was even more anxious than usual this time and Samara was very patient and allowed for her to warm up to her on her own time which we appreciated greatly! We would highly recommend!”
