House Sitting Harshaville

About: I have hands-on experience working in a veterinary hospital, giving me experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of needs. I am comfortable with feeding, medications, monitoring behavior, and providing individualized care. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s routine. I’m especially passionate about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. I am generally available Monday through Friday outside of my work hours, and I have additional flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays. I typically work around 9 AM–5 PM on weekends, but I’m still available for evening and overnight care. I may also have occasional work on Thursdays, but I will always communicate my availability clearly and make sure I can give your pets the time and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My veterinary experience has taught me the importance of paying attention to changes in behavior, following care instructions carefully, and creating a calm environment for pets. I will treat your home with respect, follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, and keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pets are safe and well cared for.

About: I’ve helped pet sit for friends and family for several years now. I have my own 4 year old purebred Siberian husky named Maverick. I have had him since he was 3 months old. I also grew up having family dogs and cats. I even helped take care of brother’s bearded dragon when he was in college. I spent 3 years working alongside 2 certified professional trainers learning to train my own dog. I am currently a daycare teacher working with infants and preschoolers. I am also in a master’s program to get my teaching degree in teaching high school English. I am currently a daycare teacher working most days. Sometimes I start at 6:30am, sometimes at 8am, and other times at noon. I usually work till 6:15pm, but sometimes I get scheduled to be off early. It varies every week, but I can put in requests ahead of time to start or end at a certain time if need be. I have a 4 year old purebred Siberian husky named Maverick. He loves everyone and all animals. He was raised around other dogs, cats, and a bearded dragon since I brought him home at 3 months old. I have worked alongside 2 certified professional trainers to help train Maverick to be the best behaved dog. I have trained Maverick to the point that he has several awards and certifications in obedience, rally, and scent work. I currently live with my sister’s two dogs and brother’s cat. I cannot pet sit at my house currently due to having other dogs and cats in my home, but I am more than happy to go to a client’s home, and pet sit, walk, let animals outside, etc.

“Makala is everything you want in a pet-sitter. Prompt to respond, extremely accommodating on hours and way underpriced given her experience and expertise. More importantly than all these things, however, is that Rover is not a side hustle for her so much as a natural extension of her every day. She's professionally trained to care for others' pets and so clearly enjoys doing so. Speaking from my experience, she's very good at it, too.”

“Joey and Angie were very kind and easy to work with. Joey was respectful of my home, brought in packages and mail, and kept me updated on the dogs while I was away. Communication was good throughout the stay, and it was clear that Joey cared about the dogs’ well-being. Overall, I appreciated the help and care provided during my trip.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I am glad that I booked with Cassandra! I was nervous to use the app at first but after meeting her and her family I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with her while I went out of town. I could tell right away that she is very knowledge about dogs and my puppy Mia loved her and her family! She sent updates and pictures which was really nice as well. I would definitely book with Cassandra again!”

Karen K.

“Bri was great! My cat and dog loved her instantly. My cat is a senior kitty who will not eat if she's stressed and with Bri she had no loss of appetite. Bri also kept me updated with pictures. I highly recommend her for house sitting!”

“Corrine was fantastic with our dog and cat while we were away! We received daily updates and pictures, she also went above and beyond and gathered the mail for us and took out our trash. We’ll definitely rebook with her!”

“Chelsea was a fantastic in-home sitter for our two fur babies! During the meet-and-greet, she asked plenty of thoughtful questions to get to know our dogs and understand their individual needs. One of our dogs has anxiety and is very skittish around new people, but she warmed up to Chelsea right away. Our other dog has epilepsy, and Chelsea did a wonderful job making sure he received his medication twice a day, right on schedule. Throughout our trip, Chelsea sent lots of pictures and updates, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. She even took care of our fish! Chelsea went above and beyond, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We look forward to booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.”

About: I love animals and caring for them! I care for family & friends pets often. I own cats but my parents have dogs so I have experience with both and love them all :) I am currently off on maternity leaving and planning to stay home with my kids. I can walk dogs during the day or evening as well as drop ins during the day and evenings. I have three cats who I adore! My cats are my world and they own my home! I grew up having dogs and cats my entire life.

“Karen was awesome! She stayed at the house during the recent snow storm and she went above and beyond. We didn't have to worry about a thing. Beckett was sad to see her go. We will definitely be using her again.”

About: My first time dog sitting, I watched 2 Great Danes for a week while their family was away. I left this experience telling everyone I wanted to own a Great Dane when I got older. I have a tremendous love for pets and love to work with the family to keep them happy and routine oriented. I also adore my family dog, Sam. I currently work full time Monday-Friday, so being a dog walker would fit into my schedule week nights after 5pm, and weekends. I am open to dog sit on the weekends. I care for pets in my clients home by making sure I follow in-depth instructions about their pets routine while also making sure their house is kept tidy during my stay.

“Kaitlyn did such a great job with our stubborn kitty. She was very persistent in trying to win him over. She also took great care of our home!”

About: I’ve learned and taken on responsibilities caring for animals, specifically dogs, at a young age. Nacho, my past rescue dog, lived to be about 15 years of age. He needed quite a lot of care in his old age, including joint supplements, pimobendan for his heart, and other treatments. I currently have two cats named Kirby and Sam. I would love to have a dog, but my living situation doesn’t allow currently for the quality of life they deserve. I work full-time as an aesthetician, but with some days off, so if you need a day or a time that you don’t see we may be able to work something out:) I ensure a clean environment with no hazardous materials around, ample enrichment, and all the love humanly possible. Full of healthy food and treats obviously🤪

“We had Mollie stay with our 2 dobermans while we were out of town for a long weekend. We did a meet and greet before hand to review everything. We got lots of photos and updates. Came home to happy dogs. Would use her again in a heartbeat!”

Jody M.

“Karie was absolutely wonderful caring for our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. She was always sending photos of the dogs and making sure they were well cared for. We would highly recommend Karie for all of your animal needs!”

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life. I took 2 years of veterinary assistant schooling during high school, and am currently in veterinary technician school working toward an associate degree. I have worked at a doggy daycare for a year. I love all animals, and would be happy to petsit! 🩷 Im available in the early morning before school, and free after 3:30pm everyday. I would be able to spend most of my time with the clients animals in the evening hours. My weekends are free! I have 3 dogs who get walked daily and tons of playtime. I can accommodate any needs for a clients pet such as playtime, walks, crating, etc.

“Chris was fantastic with Benny and very respectful of our home! He shared updates, photos, and was very kind throughout his time here. Highly recommend him!!!”

About: Welcome to Tail-waggin’ Paradise hosted by Jackie & Dario! Our active lifestyle means your pet will enjoy regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. We treat every guest pup with the same love and care we give our own dogs, Willow and Tucker. Jackie’s love of dogs started young through 4-H, where she trained and competed with her childhood dog, earning multiple Grand and State Championships in obedience. She later expanded her training experience by raising two guide dog puppies through Guide Dogs for America. We genuinely love caring for dogs and enjoy welcoming new furry friends into our lives. At Tail-Waggin’ Paradise, your pet’s comfort, happiness, and well-being are always our top priorities. Pet care is naturally part of our daily routine, ensuring your pet receives plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout their stay. Jackie works full-time from home, so your pet will have a consistent companion throughout the day. From walks and playtime to meals and cuddles, she’s available to give them the attention they need. Dario also spends plenty of time at home and enjoys helping care for our four-legged guests. His calm, patient nature helps pets feel comfortable and right at home. Our routine includes regular walks, playtime, socialization, and outdoor adventures—including local dog parks, the beach, and other fun outings when appropriate. When caring for pets in your home, we prioritize safety, comfort, and maintaining a familiar environment for your pet\. We follow your established routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any special instructions to ensure consistency and reduce stress.

About: I’m not just someone who “likes dogs”. I grew up with a Golden Retriever. From puppy energy to senior comfort, I’ve been around it all. I’ve also cared for larger, strong-willed breeds like a Rhodesian Ridgebacks and cane corsos…so I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities. Whether your dog needs structure, patience, or just someone who can match their energy, I adapt to what they need. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I pay attention to routines, behavior changes, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have been a caretaker and dog sitter for a few years. Needless to say, taking care of people’s loved-ones comes second nature to me. My night shift schedule at the VA allows me to be available all day to give your pet the attentive care that he/she needs including keeping them company, letting them out for potty breaks, walks,feeds,etc. With house-sitting, I will leave your home the way you left it. I will ensure that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-fed. I will observe your pets closely. If I notice anything “off” about your pets, you will be notified immediately so that appropriate action is taken if needed.

“Courtney is so wonderful, professional and reliable. She took amazing care of my XL malamute. They got along so well, and he was at ease very quickly which is amazing since he is a high anxiety dog. I recommend her services to anyone looking for someone to love their pet as one of their own.”
