House Sitting in Hancocks Bridge

“Great experience with Stephanie. Meet and greet went great, supper attentive and friendly. Our boys had a great time with her, she’s very communicative throughout the stay. We’re greatly appreciate the care she provided for our boys. We will definitely use her and the future again.”

About: Hey my name is Taleem I’ve cared for pets my whole life basically from turtles chinchillas and bunny’s to lap dogs mastiffs and horses I’m well experienced and genuinely care about your pets well being. Potty breaks and training is not a problem I allow dogs on my furniture and bed I live in a smoke free home that is also an apartment I’m not too far from Griffith park so walks there are common for me; I’m a pretty active person because I am a student athlete. I’m currently in my sophomore year and just looking for extra ways of income and caring for animals has always came naturally to me, and I came to love it at a young age so why not do what you love and get paid.

About: I've been working with dogs professionally for almost 1.5 years, but I've also always dog-sat for family and friends. I've sat with dogs from small to big sizes, younger to older dogs, and I've dealt with dogs that have had many different medical issues, including providing medication and insulin. I'm ready for anything, and I'm excited to meet some new furry friends. Pet care is part of my everyday life both at work and at home. I currently work at a dog kennel, so I’m experienced with feeding schedules, exercise routines, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. On top of that, I have three dachshunds of my own at home, which means my day naturally revolves around walks, playtime, training, and plenty of cuddles. Because of this, caring for dogs isn’t just something I do at work; it’s built into my lifestyle. Becoming a public dog sitter is an exciting next step for me, since it allows me to take the skills I’ve built in a kennel setting and apply them in a more personal way, giving each dog the love and attention they deserve. In my own home, caring for pets is a constant part of daily life. I have three dachshunds, so I’m used to keeping up with regular feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, and play. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and included as part of the family, whether that means structured walks or just cozy cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the same attentive approach while respecting each pet’s individual routine and needs. I stick to the feeding, walking, and play schedules the owner provides, and I take time to get to know the pet’s personality so they feel comfortable and cared for in their own environment. My goal is always to make the transition smooth for both the pet and the owner, giving pets the same love and structure I give my own dogs.

About: I have given care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am comfortable with all personality types, and sizes. I also have experience with cats, as an owner and sitter. I currently am dedicated to pet care and services. I currently work part time on a seasonal basis and can dedicate as much time as needed to caring and playing with your pets! I put animals above most else. I have my own dog who is hooked up and supervised when outside. I also have a pet first aid book and carry supplies on me.

“Terry was amazing! She house sat and cared for our 2 Boston Terriers and our Maine Coon cat. I highly recommend her and have full confidence in her. Our pets immediately trusted her and she built a connection with them. Terry sent us videos and texts of our pets and goes the extra mile by washing the bed linens and maintaining cleanliness. everything clean. Thank you Terry from our hearts and will definitely request your services again in the future.”

“We were very pleased having Chris here at our home to watch our Corgi Mickey. Mickey wasn’t feeling his best and Chris kept us well informed and sent photos of Mickey to reassure us that all was well. We plan to have her come again the next time we need to go out for a long period of time. Chris was awesome!”

“Heather was the best! She was so communicative, so good with our baby, and overall an absolute dream. We recommend her to anyone for house sitting.”

“Cole did a wonderful job watching our babies while we were away! The dogs adored him and he was very responsive and kept us updated. We will definitely book with him again.”

About: I have 7 years of experience in boarding kennels and doggy daycares, where I’ve cared for pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I also have a bit of grooming experience, which has helped me become even more patient and gentle when handling dogs. I’m currently a junior in the Canine Training and Management program at SUNY Cobleskill, where I’ve taken classes in training, behavior, and canine health. I am super passionate about what I do!! I am currently home for the summer, until mid August, and have an open schedule! I can do mornings, afternoons, evening, or any times in between. I will not be able to care for pets in my home since I am living on-campus. Hopefully in the future that will be able to change!

About: I had 2 dogs, a shibu-chi mix and shitzu females that act like adorable little sisters. My sister also owns 2 dogs, a little black poodle dog and pitbull-terrier mix, both of whom I love so very much! I’ve had to petsit for her many years, so I am familiar working with big dogs. In the Philippines, I had a grey puppy named Jamie, that was a very rare and intelligent breed! By the time I had to fly back to the states, he was potty-trained and knew basic commands(sit, stay, paw, etc.) I hope to own my own big dog someday! I make room for pet-sitting at the end of the week, usually Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I would make the schedule fit into my calendar that works for the owner and make it apart of my daily routine. In the clients home, I’m only going to do what is required and requested for the petsitting time period. If there are any additional notes that I need to know, particularly for the pets needs then I will need to know before I arrive at the location. I implement a set schedule to ensure I can meet the requirements of all of my clients accordingly and efficiently, so that I’m sure I’m prepared for anything in the owners absence.

“Ella was great. We came home to a very happy doggie. Ella communicated well from the beginning. She was conscientious in her care of Maple and our home, I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back.”

About: While I’m currently a cat mom, I’ve grown up around all breeds of dogs. I have been pet sitting for neighbors and friends for 10+ years. My night shift work schedule leaves me plenty of flexibility during the days. I work night shift 8p to 8a in a hospital three rotating days a week so I have a good deal of flexibility during the day time. I’d prefer to set up a time to meet with you and your pet prior to the first service to get a feel for the care they’ll need as well as make sure they are comfortable with me.

About: What sets me apart is my patience, attention, and genuine love for pets. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m gentle with senior pets and patient with puppies. I work from home part-time, which allows me to be available to take good care of your pet during the day and or the night I care for pets by following their daily routine, giving them love, attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like my own, whether in my home or my client’s home.

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. My dog recently passed away so your pet will be there only one in my home. Friends and neighbors have relied on me for pet care, walking and sitting. I can’t wait to give attention and belly rubs to your treasured pet! I have a flexible schedule to accommodate all of your needs. I am available for walks, drop ins, doggie daycare at my home, and pet sitting. I have a fenced in yard. I live in a nice neighborhood with a park for easy and safe walks. Dogs are allowed on the couch, but not the bed. Your dog will enjoy 1-2 walks each day, depending on energy levels, as well as time with me outside out inside snuggling. If you prefer I stay in your home with your dog, I can arrange that as well.

About: I’ve had dogs basically all my life. I have a lot of experience with puppies and adult dogs of all sizes. I can give medication. I can work on basic obedience with puppies. Or help with pregnant dogs also. I’m available pretty much anytime. I used to be a caregiver for my mom. So I’m pretty much available anytime now. I can be available during the day or evening. I have a very large yard and also have a good size dog kennel. I never leave my own dogs out alone. I also have cameras outside. And inside dogs are welcome to get on the furniture or whatever.

“Meghan was great! She showed up when she said she would, sent us photos of our pup and kept us informed if anything was unusual with his behavior. I would definitely book with her again!”

“We have two large, anxious dogs and finding a sitter we trust can be difficult. Greg is a total exception. Communication was consistent and reassuring, updates and photos throughout without us even having to ask. Greg genuinely knew how to handle big, nervous breeds. Calm, patient, no rushing, our dogs were relaxed by the end of the stay and it put our minds at ease.”

“Faith was wonderful with our dogs. Very patient and understanding especially with a couple of my dogs more trying personalities. The dogs were well cared for and the house was just as we'd left it. I would definitely recommend Faith.”
