House Sitting in Harvey Cedars

“I have to admit I was a bit nervous leaving Seva in the care of someone we had just met. But from our very first meeting, I felt comfortable with Chris. He has a calming, grounded presence and was immediately attentive—and most importantly, Seva approved! Throughout the entire process, Chris was communicative, responsive, and made every detail feel easy. While I was traveling, he kept me at ease with timely responses and updates. I came home to a happy pup, a well-watered garden, and a clean, tidy house that looked just as I left it. I’m so grateful for the care and intention Chris brought to every part of his time with Seva. Highly recommend. Thanks ~ Theresa and Seva”

“Jameson absolutely loves Jennifer and was so excited to have her stay over. She does such a great job with him, and is great with our cats as well!”

“Daniel was exceptional with our two high-energy pups. His stay in our home while we were at a work event went so smoothly, from meeting the pups through communicating with pictures through the weekend and the "handoff" when we got home. We felt so at ease, especially me with my rescue knowing they were in great hands!”

“Sheli was great! We needed help on short notice, and our dogs can be a challenge. She was on time, communicated with us about how they were doing, and took great care of our babies!”

About: I have recently lost my fur baby boy and would be honored to care for your furry family member. I have volunteered with many animal rescue organizations over the years. I have also fostered dogs and cats for many years from very tiny babies to seniors. I have experience with administering all types of medications and not intimidated by how big or small the job may be. My pets have always been a big part of my family and I will treat your fur baby as if it were my own. I do not have any animals or children. All my attention would be on your loved pet. Thank you in advance for your trust and I hope to meet you soon! My schedule is flexible and I will only accept a job that I know I will be able to fully dedicate my attention to your loved one. I have fostered puppies and kittens to adult special needs dogs so know what it takes and the attention every animal could need. The most important is they are kept safe, well fed and plenty of time for potty breaks

About: Whatever your doggo may need, I am versatile enough to handle it. Be it quick walks, cleaning up behind him or her, or delivering an endless supply of pets, you can count on me making sure your dog is happy and taken care of. I work as a freelance photographer so my schedule is very flexible and I am able to cover greater distances than other sitters who need to stay close to town. I live in my house with my two sweet cats, Snowshoe and Iris. They are indoor only cats but I always keep them entertained through games and activities. I think a healthy amount of playtime and bonding and interaction is just as important for your pet’s wellbeing as the basic chores of feeding and cleaning up after. And I want your pet to be as happy as I alway try to make mine at home.

“Sarah was great! She has a warm, inviting personality and my skittish dog warmed up to her quickly. Sarah provided updates and pictures of my dogs which put me at ease during my trip. Would definitely use again!”

About: I’ve taken care of family pets to neighbors for probably the past 15 years and I’m also a pet stylist so I work with dogs every day I can be available like 2 to 4 hours every Monday and Wednesdays and probably occasional Sundays as well. Might add more days in the future. I can be a very active pet parent and go on long walks or I can snuggle up on the couch and binge watch a show and give all the love because dogs have always shown me the best loyalty from any living creature I’ve ever encountered

About: A lot of free time so flexible schedule, punctual and detail oriented. Will enjoy meeting new furry friends and can help with your pets needs Free time to care for furry friends with my recent retirement also gets me out of the house and provides me exercise and time out I will follow instructions provided by the pet parent, willing to spend time with your pet in your home or on walks to provide you peace of mind

About: Hi! I’m Erin, and I have over two years of experience working at Lucky’s, an animal boarding facility. There, I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I dealt with puppies, seniors, and those with anxiety. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, giving medications, and handling high energy or anxious dogs. What sets me apart is my professional background combined with a genuine love for animals. I know how to read dog behavior, respond calmly in any situation, and make sure each pup feels safe and cared for. I treat every dog like family and always strive to create a stress-free, fun experience for both pets and their owners. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8–5, but I’m fully available on weekends and evenings. I make sure to give pets the attention and care they need before and after work, and I’m especially flexible on weekends for walks, playtime, or overnight care. Even with a busy schedule, I prioritize making pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for. I won’t be able to care for pets in my home, as I have an anxious beagle that does not do well with other dogs. As for my clients home, I will follow your instructions carefully to keep their routine consistent and comfortable. I’ll provide fresh food and water, regular exercise, playtime, and lots of affection. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and safe, and keep you updated with messages or photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to treat your pet like family and make your home their happy, calm space.

“Katie was great - responsive, friendly, and the animals (a dog and 2 cats) were all well cared for while we were away and clearly very comfortable with Katie. We will use here again without hesitation.”

“I'm so glad we found Rita. It was so nice to see the dogs run right over to her and bring a toy. ROVER TESTED......DOG APPROVED 😄”

About: Family & friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and stay with their beloved pets for over a decade. Caring is a part of my nature & pet sitting/dog walking is a good way for me to decompress from the high intensity work I do at the hospital. My work schedule changes weekly & rotates between three to four days per week at the hospital- still leaving 3 or 4 days free for caring for your pet. Booking in advance allows me the opportunity to schedule my hospital shifts around your needs. I myself have a lab mix at home. I would be caring for your pet in their own trusted environment, your home, but would need the freedom to run back to care for my own fur baby during the day.

“Riley helped me out on short notice, was very responsive, and took great care of our animals and house while we were away. I will definitely call on her again.”

Karin R.

“Cat stayed at our home for 4 nights and took great care of our dog, Liza! She kept us updated, and frequently sent pictures. We came home to a very happy dog and a very clean house! We would not hesitate to use her again. We highly recommend her!”

About: Hi, I have over ten years of experience with dogs. I volunteered and assisted at my local shelter from 2014 - 2017. I helped in the rehabilitation of about sixty animals to their furever home. I’m here to help you be at ease when it comes to your pet/furbaby as they are also part of the family, I love long walks and runs, and playtime is a huge factor. I can also assist with teaching various tricks and commands with lots of patience. In my home, your dog will be safe, have a designated play area that is fenced off inside and a huge fenced yard while outside. If your pet is uncomfortable, I will do my best to make them feel right at home, they will have my undivided attention.

About: I have been an animal lover since I could talk but my love has become so amplified since I became a dog mom a year and a half ago. As a recent college graduate, spending time with my dog has been the most rewarding part of trying to navigate “the adult world”. My cousin runs her own dog hiking business and I’ve had the privilege to go on hikes with her client’s dogs and expand my knowledge of working with the many different needs each dog has. Additionally, I have grown up babysitting many children in my community, a lot of which have multiple dogs. Spending time with their dogs is the sweetest treat once the kids are in bed. To me, treating animals with the utmost love and respect is my greatest priority when I wake up each day. Every animal is deserving of a day filled with love and excitement. It makes my heart feel so warm knowing that I could provide care for someone’s animal while they may be busy or unable to give their pet the exercise they’d like. I have soft spots for dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs just looking for company and a snuggle. I hope I can help bring some more joy into your pets life and relieve some stress for pet parents! I have a very flexible schedule in terms of work. As an actor, my schedule is often changing due to whatever show I may be working on at the time and its specific production schedule. My dog, Shamrock is my greatest joy in life so taking him is not a chore or any type of inconvenience. Shamrock comes nearly everywhere with me, which is how I prefer it anyways. I love letting him explore our community by switching up our daily walk/hike routes to keep him engaged in new sights and smells. I intend to give your pet the same experience so that everyday feels exciting. As my dog is not yet two, we actively use a pen for him to relax in during moments of high stimulation or guests. He is very comfortable going to his pen when my family’s house is loud/crowded or we have to leave for an extended period of time. He recognizes the pen as his personal safe space. I love to provide my dog with enrichment activities throughout the day to keep his brain stimulated. Whether this means tying up his dinner in a long towel for him to sniff out, or playing hide-and-seek with him within our house for treats, I love incorporating new ways to stay active and happy. Getting down and dirty with a dog has never been an issue for me, I usually dress the part if I plan to be adventurous with a dog that day. I often wonder what my neighbors are thinking as I play a version of “tackle football” with my dog in our yard. I also keep my dog socially active by having his friends over for play dates in our fenced in yard multiple times a week. Occasionally, Shamrock will also attend a local playgroup which he loves! One of my most important principals when playing with any pet is to never end a session on a bad note; to always find a way to reward them with a treat for a positive behavior. Hopefully it’s clear, using positive reinforcement is always my method of choice and I will never find myself using scare tactics or negative punishments with anyone’s beloved pet.

About: I realize the joy a pet brings to your family. It brings me so much joy being able to ‘speak dog.’ I miss being able to take my senior dog on long walks and would love to take your baby on one! I’m newly retired and have weekdays available. I’m an early riser and am motivated to get out for your dog’s benefit, as well as my own health benefits. I am confident that your dog will be cared for as if we’re my own. Safety is my highest priority. Love, rubs and kisses are given freely!

“Kat was awesome! Our dog clearly misses her now that we are back. She even left our house cleaner than when she arrived! Kat is a great dog and house sitter. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”
