House Sitting in Hereford

“I can’t recommend Katie enough. My two 15 yo pups look so well cared for and relaxed. Some friends met her walking the girls and were all favorably impressed. Getting pictures everyday of their walks and adventures, and knowing that she is a Retired Vet Tech, helped me to be worry free. She is a very kind, warm and loving person that my dogs took to right away. I swear they look more groomed than when I left! Thank you, Katie!”

“Malissa took excellent care of my fur baby! My girl is a very anxious and needy pup. Malissa was so sweet and let Indie cuddle and snuggle with her to keep her calm and feeling comfortable while I was out of town. I would feel very comfortable having Malissa take care of my baby girl again because she did everything I asked her to, and more!”

“Alexandra was great! I felt very comfortable leaving my 3 dogs with her in my home. I couldn’t even tell she had been there except that my toilet had been freshly cleaned! My mom is booking her vacation in October and I would definitely use her again!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience raising and caring for dogs from the very beginning of their lives. As an AKC puppy breeder, I’ve worked closely with litters from birth through their transition into new homes, which has given me a deep understanding of puppy behavior, early training, and proper care routines. I’m confident working with young puppies, including crate training, potty training, feeding schedules, and helping them feel safe and secure. I also have experience providing emotional support–focused care, as my own dog is an ESA, so I’m very attentive to each pet’s emotional needs, not just their physical care. Beyond puppies, I provide patient, gentle care for dogs of all ages, including seniors who may need a slower pace, extra comfort, or medication support. I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel loved, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. What really makes my care different is the level of attention and connection I give. I don’t just “watch” pets—I build trust with them, understand their routines, and create a calm, nurturing environment so they feel completely at home. I am currently a stay at home mom to a two year old. So I have plenty of flexibility to make sure everyone keeps their routines. I have a fenced area, as well as 4 acres of property for the animals to play on. I also have large crates if the animals are crate trained.

“I couldn’t use enough descriptive words to say how amazing, fantastic and wonderful Katelyn is. She befriended our special needs dog, who is afraid of everyone, within two days. She exhibited patience and persistence with our dogs. Not only was our home fully cleaned, so were the dog beds and back yard. I have never experienced that high level of quality care. Katelyn even came to allow a plumber in to fix an issue that occurred right before we left, just so it didn’t have to wait until we returned from our trip. We are so lucky and grateful to have found such a professional person, who obviously loves her job and adores the dogs she watches.”

“Tammie is an amazing pet sitter! My dogs were so happy I don’t think they even noticed I was gone, which alleviated my biggest traveling anxiety. Receiving pictures from Tammie every day of my dogs having fun with her wonderful pup, Kiwi, always made me smile. Not only were my dogs in good hands but she took great care of my home too. I will definitely be traveling again soon knowing I can leave my fur-babies in her capable hands!”

“Madelyn worked so well with us caring for an older, very timid and highly nervous cat. She was able to extend her booking time on our request with no notice and was very diligent about communicating and sending pictures. We always felt in the loop. We will definitely use Madelyn again!”

“Great sitter! Sharon came and stayed with my kitty cat and everything was terrific! Would highly recommend her as a sitter!!”

“Rachel did a fantastic job with my dog and cat. She sent pictures and updates often. My dog receives medication twice daily and she handled that without problems. When she did have questions she reached out. I would absolutely use her again in the future.”

About: I can handle crazy, calm, anxious and any and all dogs, Because I've grown up around dogs and cats, I know animals well. I know the difference between fear and aggression and how to read body language I'm good to work any days and nights as a general rule. I am a caregiver for people with disabilities but that's typically an overnight shift. I can feed, walk, and play with any animals in your home and can stay overnight most nights. I don't have the means to house any though.

About: To whom it may concern: First, thank you for taking the time to consider me as a candidate to care for your pet. I want to assure you of my level of expertise, nurturing nature, and concern for training and order in their life/lives. After reviewing my qualifications, I urge you to consider the value you get by employing a candidate like myself--your pet will be treated like my own, cared for and assuredly will have an enjoyable time. My husband and I own a very well behaved and playful Australian Shepherd, Malachi. He's currently two and a half years old, and regularly receives attention that a herding dog needs. He's walked, exercised, and ran throughout the week. We constantly reinforce good habits and sharpen his training. Since we purchased him as a puppy, here's a small list of the training that he has mastered. - Sit - Come - Lay down - Roll over - Paw and other paw - Fetch - Whisper - Speak - Crawl - Get your ball - Drop it - Leave it Anybody can list a number of commands their dog has mastered, but it goes to show the amount of training that we have invested in our pet. We're regularly ensuring that he knows how to behave in front of people, other dogs, and alone. Dogs have very active brains that need to be worked out in order to keep them from developing bad habits such as digging, chewing, and needlessly barking. I will, if hired, employ the same level of determination in reinforcing your pet(s) good habits so that they are the best behaved that they can be. While I don't have a lot of quantitative experience in handling pets on my resume, our friends routinely consider us first for their long term pet care needs. We have recently watched our neighbors' two dogs for a period of 17 days while they went out of state--their dogs got walks, training, treats, and play time as appropriate. I am driven to get an opportunity to prove my value to you as a pet care provider. Consider me for employment and I know that both you and your pet(s) will be satisfied with the decision. I'm available to meet and interview prior to any employment. I will also consider dog-sitting in home if your dog is up to date on vaccines and has a local veterinary care provider. Thanks again for your consideration. I look forward to hearing positively from you soon. Very Respectfully, Carlyn Buchs

About: Hi! Available for (much of) Santa Cruz and Cochise Counties, including Ft Huachuca. I grew up on a farm, worked at a vet clinic, and have always had animals and pets when my life permitted. I have a passion for our furry "family members" as well as learning all different types of animal behavior. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, donkeys, fish, and even took care of a camel a time or two. My professional and athletic life has taken me around the world, and frankly, caring for pets of family, friends and neighbors throughout the years has still always been a most gratifying highlight! I have the patience and energy to match dogs of all temperaments, so let me know how I can support you and your family! If my profile is visible, it means I have plenty of time to help out with your furry family members, be it pet-sitting, walking, or just checking in on them. I have a highly-flexible schedule and a vehicle large enough to crate/transport if needed. As far as housesitting, depending on the proximity, would be flexible on either daily check-in and/or possibly overnights. Please reach out in advance to discuss. I live on a large ranch but do prefer to keep them leashed when walking (until I know they heel well AND to keep YOU more confident). I'm flexible on this based on consults with you. They would sleep indoors, and if you prefer, I could easily crate as well. Non-smoking home. You can bet I'll treat them as my own!
