House Sitting in Hartland

“Lauren has been sending me regular updates of all my animals! We have a dog who is fearful around humans/strangers, but Lauren took her time and earned her trust… after a few hours Lauren updated us that she was letting her pet her! She calmed my nerves about leaving our skiddish one for a whole weekend. We already have her booked for our next out of town date :) 30/10 recommend Lauren!!”

“Lyle did an awesome job with watching our two furbabies in our home for two weeks! He kept them on their routine and most importantly gave their meds on time. The latter is extremely important since one of our babies has seizures. We were so worried to leave since the last Rover experience didn't go so well and so we came home early. Thankfully all went great with Lyle. He gave daily updates and was very transparent. Will definitely use him again!!!”

“Sarah was able to take care of our dogs for two nights on short notice. She did excellent! Was a great communicator and our pets were happy and our home was tidy upon our return which is always so nice! I would highly recommend Sarah!”

“Carissa took such good care of our fur baby when we were gone for 5+ days on vacation. We hate leaving her and she normally travels with us so it was hard. Carissa sent timely updates and left the house spotless, I would highly recommend her to anyone. 6 out of 5 stars if I could leave that review. Ask her about her pet portraits, they are amazing and she should be making that an option as part of her services :)”

“Karlysse helped us out last minute over the holidays and took amazing care of our two dogs. We came home to a spotless house and two very happy pups. We would absolutely hire her again!”

Jordan S.

“Christina was wonderful! She went above and beyond and always communicated in a timely manner. We will definitely book with her in the future.”

Katie K.

“Awesome job. Good communication, on-time performance, worked with us under challenging circumstances. Plus Lavender loved her! We'll be working with Leaha again!”

James R.

“Blake came to my house, on time, to watch my best friend Gizmo. Gizmo is a service dog and goes everywhere with me, but couldn’t go to a rock concert. This causes him to have extreme separation anxiety whenever we leave him with someone at home. Blake was excellent with Giz and got him to calm down after we left. Gizmo enjoyed 10 hours with his new best friend Blake. Would recommend Blake!”

James P.

“Mia is a very caring and loving sitter. This was her first time sitting for us and she had a couple of doggie peculiarities to deal with and she handled them well. We have an older dog who is somewhat spoiled but she was treated with love and patience. She communicated with us to keep us updated. I felt very comfortable the way Mia cared for our pet and our home.”

Marion F.

“Judy provided great communication the entire trip and ensured my dog got the correct medications. She left the house clean and it gave me peace of mind knowing Judy was at home with my dog.”

Molly R.

“Sarah house sat for me and even stayed an extra night on late notice due to a family emergency. She sent lots of pictures and in every one the dogs looked like they were having a great time! She is very communicative and I look forward to having her again!”

Lexi W.

“Mellisa took care of our pets (dog, cats and turtles) for 10 days when we travel to Italy. She was sending us updates and pictures so we did not have to worry about our pet babies. We would definitely book Mellisa again.”

“Milo did an amazing job caring for my dog Juniper and cat Clara and taking care of my house while I was away for 3 days. He sent me pictures, videos, and updates and played with Juniper to make sure he had enough exercise. When I got back home, Juniper and Clara were very happy and the house looked great.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my love for all dog breeds from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. I love them all, and have had experience with many through my childhood pets and through pets I have dogsat for. I have experience with dog walking, grooming, bathing, playing, cuddling, exercising, nail clipping, and much more. I graduated college in April and am still searching for entry level jobs. Currently I have a great amount of availability during many days of the week. I am a very active person and I weight train about four days a week, so as for dog walking or dogs sitting I am very open. In my clients home I will obey any requests put forth by the owner and am willing to go above and beyond to meet a dog's needs no matter the requirements. Of course I will also keep the house in order and always clean up after me and the dog.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs growing up. I’ve always made sure their needs are met and they get the exercise and playtime they deserve. I currently have 2 cats that need care. One needs an insulin shot and the other needs oral injections for his seizures. It’s all around care from me. I make sure that each pet gets what they need. From exercise to medicine. I love playing with pets and the love they give no matter what.

About: My experience and background with animals spans over the course 20 years. I've worked as a veterinary technician, fostered nearly 2 dozen puppies for rescue programs, and founded my own successful non-profit rescue & conservation program dedicated to primitive canids. I had the wonderful experience of helping one of these rare dogs whelp & raise a massive litter of 12. I've owned numerous breeds including a Beagle, working-line German Shepherd, working-line Anatolian Shepherd, and numerous primitives such Carolina Dogs, a coydog hybrid, & an imported Canaan Dog. I've trained dogs in sports such as schutzhund & nosework. I established my private dog training business in 2019- specializing in puppies and working dogs such as service & livestock guardian dogs. I've been blessed to own two wonderful cats! On our homestead we had an incredible indoor/outdoor boy that kept the rodents at bay. We also have a sweet, indoor-only kitty that lives the high life with raw food & endless cuddles! I'm thoroughly experienced in caring for senior dogs & cats, administering medications, first aid, & wound care. I've fed numerous specialized diets, including fully raw. I adore the puppy stage- including crate training, potty training, & socialization. I'm a strong advocate for socialization that bolsters confident neutrality. A puppy's endless curiosity is so fun to harness! I enjoy giving dogs a balance of outdoor exercise like hiking, as well as indoor mental enrichment like games and puzzles. A tired dog is a happy dog! I train dogs part time & homeschool my daughter- which lends me a great deal of flexibility in my schedule. I can often accommodate short notice requests. Your beloved pet's safety is critical to me. I'm extremely cautious with opening & closing doors so no animals can slip through a door, check the fit of a dog's collar to prevent potential backing out, & ensure there's nothing a pup or kitty could get into thats potentially dangerous. I have a very strong preference for using martingale collars on dogs for walks to mitigate that risk. I've personally endured the tragedy of my young dog slipping the door and being hit by a car while a sitter was taking care of him- so I assure you I take this very seriously. Building trust with both owners and their pets is pivotal! I'm committed to open communication and honesty. I allow pets to greet me on their terms and understand some animals need a more patient, gentle approach than others. I strive to create a positive, calm environment for your pets- and once I'm trusted by them, I will add the playfulness and affection they deserve!

“Michelle was great with my Great Danes! She sent many pictures of them running around the yard, getting cozy, and just being their goofy selves. She managed meds, feeds, fun, and supported them through a stormy night. What I appreciated most is that Michelle is a great communicator! I would love to have her watch the boys again!”

“Preti did a great job taking care of our dog She gave him walks and sent me photos and updates and was very easy to work with.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets since i was a child. From boxers, to papillons, to domestic cats, to even bunnies. I love animals and have been caring for them for myself, family, or friends for years now. I’m currently unemployed so I am available anytime you need! :) I know it can be stressful to find sitters for “odd” hours like overnight or holidays. So I would love to help mitigate that stress! I know how hard it can be to make sure you’re giving your animals enough attention while living a busy life. I can make sure to play with your animals and give them exercise, whether that be going on walks or to the dog park, or just having fun inside the home. I can help with basic training, making sure they’re eating well, and any other basic needs:)

About: I’ve owned multiple dogs and don’t have any of my own at the moment. This gives me the freedom to work with others! Mostly large dogs are my specialty, like Great Danes and German shepherds! I love to be active with the dogs with whatever they enjoy the most. I have an understanding of body language and have cared for animals my entire life. It used to be daily habit taking care of my dogs but I haven’t had any for a few months since my last one passed away at 14. Now I’d like to care for others dogs! I can adhere to any schedules needed, and even help with training. I offer a very loving care for all dogs and a relationship built on trust and fun. My goal is to make best buddies and keep good structure as needed. Fully willing to accommodate requests!
