House Sitting in Herald

About: I have experience with leaving my pets with sitters when away and now I can help pay it forward to help watch pets for others who need a pet sitter while on vacation. I have two dogs (Boston Terriers) with years of experience caring for them. I have had previous pets too since childhood. Im currently working full time but can be available to care for your pets on weekends & Holidays. Im available on Mondays too. I can house sit and care for your pets at your home too. I have a fenced yard and two dogs to play with your fur baby. My dogs sleep in large crate at night. We have a doggie door to garage for dogs under 35 lbs.

“Megan was great! I came home my dogs were fed and happy! I can tell the dogs really liked her alot. I absolutely loved how she would send updates and pictures every morning. I will be using her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and truly love getting to know each one’s personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and those who need a little extra patience or training. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or quiet cuddles, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and happy while in my care. I’m currently working part time, I can care for your pet before work and after work. I will work less than 12 hours a week so I’m hoping to be available often. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their space with the same respect as my own. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure doors and gates are always locked, water bowls are fresh, and pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I send regular photo updates so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and safe while you’re away.

“Claudia was great with Willow! She’s patient with Willow’s very excited greeting, but does a good job at calming her right down. She spends time with her both in the house and in the backyard. She is prompt and reliable.”

“Malina was a life saver for a last minute booking! She stayed with our fur babies at our home and did great! Would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter”

“Alina saved our weekend. She was available on short notice and stayed with our dog while we went to a wedding. She was very attentive with Ivy and was very responsive to my multiple texts. Would use her again!”

“We had Brina stay with our pups for four days and she really bonded with them in that short time. She has maturity and is very responsible, paying attention to the details and our pups were very happy and quite calm upon our return. She has a gentle and mellow personality which mirrors that of our little cavaliers. Brina took great care of our babies as well as our home in our absence. We are quite pleased with Brina and we look forward to having her stay in our home for a longer, extended time. Thank you Brina.”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes for up to weeks at a time for neighbors and friends. If they could talk I'm sure they'd recommend me - I always have a blast taking care of them and enjoy playing and exploring with them I work from home and generally have a decent amount of time to spend towards my dog. I usually take my dog on 3 or 4 short or medium walks There is a fenced dog play area outside. I usually take the dogs for a walk along the marina. There is space inside and they are welcome on the couch

“We selected Ashley on short notice and she was awesome as both a dog and house sitter! Sent regular updates and pics of our dog. Was extremely flexible and stayed past our agreed upon end time due to an unexpected delay in our travel. Feel very comfortable with her as both a pet and house sitter. Will definitely use again.”

About: Our family of five all love animals. We currently care for our 11 year old cat, but we have had collective experience caring for multiple cats and dogs in the past. We have experience with large dog breeds, puppies, and kittens. In the past 16 years, our family has rescued and rehomed or cared for 6 different animals. Our 10 year old daughter loves cats. Our 6 year old son wants desperately to run around with and love on a dog. And our 9 month old gets so excited whenever he sees any fur baby. Our family would be happy to care for your pet in your absence. We are happy to keep you updated on the status of your pet and provide love, care and fun during your pets stay with us! I am a stay at home Mom and only work on freelance basis. I am home most days and throughout the day with my youngest while my other kids are in school. My husband is home most nights, and our family works as a team. We will do so to care for your pet as well, so your pet has lots of love and care from many. We have a fenced yard and a shy 11 year old cat who likes to stay in her room most days. We have plenty of room in our home and a decent backyard with lots of walking trails nearby.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter who previously worked as an animal technician. I am reliable and have flexible hours. I am willing to care for large or small pets. I can care for dogs, cats, birds and other animals. I am currently retired and am able to work most days or weekends. I am willing to provide overnight pet care. I am willing to travel to your location and prefer to provide care in your home. I have animal technician experience so have worked with many different types of animals. I can care for pets who need medicine or have special needs.

“Ayanna was great to work with -- very responsive, and able to take great care of our somewhat complicated and challenging dog. Would book her again for dog-sitting and house-sitting in a heartbeat.”

About: Hi! I’m Terrell, you can call me Tee, your go-to pet caretaker with a passion for all animals big and small. Beyond dogs, I have experience with cats, goats, chickens, and more! I love spending time with each pet, understanding their personalities, and giving them the specific care they need. From playful puppies to gentle goats, I’m here to keep your animal family happy, healthy, and loved. Reach out—I’d love to meet your crew! I’m currently working part-time and live on a farm surrounded by animals, so I have a flexible schedule that’s all about caring for animals! I’m available for boarding if the situation is right, and am more than happy to do drop in visits or walks. I’m always excited to bring a bit of the farm’s lively energy to every pet I meet! Living on a farm gives me a deep respect for animals’ unique needs and routines. I have a secure, fenced yard and plenty of space for playtime. If boarding at my farm is the right fit for your pet, they’ll get a taste of peaceful farm life. Otherwise, I’m happy to come to your home so your pet can feel safe in their familiar space.

About: My ultimate goal and promise is to provide the safety and love for your pets as if you were still home. I know how worrisome it may be while you're at work or on vacation to wonder how your pet is doing and if they're receiving the care they deserve and i'm here to eliminate all worries. I have grown up and owned many animals ranging from dogs, cats, fish, turtles, and hamsters. I can confidently go on long walks or even be a cuddle buddy. Working part time on the weekends, I have almost my whole day during the week to take care of your fur babies. A bonus to the sad fact I don't currently have any pets of my own at the moment, my home and large backyard is free for your pet's comfortability. I grew up training my dog in 4-H and have raised puppies as well as kittens. I work part time on the weekends so I am free during the week to care for your pets if you are at work or on vacation. I have a fenced backyard and no other pets in my home. I will care for and clean up after your pet whether they are in your home or mine. I live walkable distance to parks and dog parks.

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).

“Absolutely thrilled with Nicole's care for my Weimaraner, Finley! As a "Velcro dog" who's usually attached to me at all times, Finley can be a bit needy, but Nicole handled him beautifully. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which put me completely at ease even while I was out of the country. Finley was clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for in every update. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’m incredibly grateful for her phenomenal work. Highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a caring, responsible sitter!”
