House Sitting Hickory

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old. I have one dog named Zeus who is like a child to me and one cat named Tito who I also adore! Sometimes I think I like animals more than people😂. Animals always love me and I always treat them like my own:)) I currently do not work so my schedule is always open no matter what time or day of the week! I’m free almost all the time:)) I have an open yard with a long chain I use for potty breaks or outdoor play time! We also have many neighbor dogs who love to make new friends! All of my neighbor dogs play together and get along great with my dog.

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🤪

About: I have been watching our neighbors and family friend’s dogs and doing drop-ins since I was little. My family has also had a dog since I was in highschool. I take him on walks every evening and am responsible for feeding and letting him out when my family is out of town. As well as my sisters dog when she stays with us. I am available throughout the day to do drop-in’s, go on walks or spend time with them at home throughout the day. Aside from a random day I have plans, my schedule is very flexible. I have a dog I take on walks at home and enjoy being outside with. As well as playing/throwing their toys or sitting together at home.

“She did a great job. Everything went smoothly, the house was clean when I got home, and the dogs were happy and well cared for. I’d absolutely book with her again.”

“Brittanie was fantastic! She worked with our crazy travel schedule and even brought some special treats for our pets. Charley and Kilo were so glad to have someone checking on them and doing walks and we were just so happy to have found someone we can trust with our pets. We also really appreciated the photo updates she sent and that she kept the lines of communication constatnly open. We'll definitely be using her again!”

I love to hang out, play with them, and ensure they’re happy and well taken care of!😁 I have lots of space for them to play, an awesome family who helps and a nice neighborhood to take them on walks as well! Comfortable, spacious, clean and loving environment!😁 I currently already work with dogs part-time at the dog stop (doggy daycare)!

I’ll spend lots of time hanging with, playing with and keeping them company! Take them for walks, give them a nice big bed with a warm blanket, get them nice clean water and lots of love and comfort! 😁I’m also good at reading dog behavior and body language, and can calmly attend to whatever they need!

About: I have had dogs my whole life, and have experience with both small and large dog care. Experience giving medication to dogs. I also enjoy taking dogs for walks.. I currently work part-time, but can arrange pet care around my work schedule. I am a recent high school graduate and will be going to college in the fall, but can be available from time to time to sit. I’m a lifelong dog lover, I’ve never known a time in my life where I haven’t had a dog as a pet. I treat my dogs like my siblings and would do the same for any dog I’m caring for.

About: I have a natural talent for taking care of dogs and walking them with patience and confidence. Whether it’s making sure they’re well-fed, groomed, or simply happy, I pay attention to their needs and treat them with genuine care. On walks, im calm but in control, keeping the dogs safe while letting them explore and enjoy their surroundings. Dogs respond well to your energy, and it’s clear that I build trust with them quickly. My love for animals make me someone dogs—and their owners—can rely on. I work part time and am available most days of the week to walk or house sit. I also am available on the weekends to take care of dogs. I stick closely to the pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. Pets thrive on routine. I make sure the home is pet-proofed. Remove harmful items, secure doors and gates, and ensure the pet has access to clean water, a cozy sleeping area, and toys.

“Terri did a fantastic job with our boys! From meeting them before our booking to making sure she gave excellent care throughout the night while we were away.”

About: I have experience with cats, Dogs, birds, and even pet rats! I treat every animal as if it were my own and love on all with my whole heart. I work full time. My days vary and I have every other weekend off. However, I can make adjustments as needed to fit your schedule to the best of my ability. I own my own home. I do not have a fenced in yard but am open to taking to parks or whatnot. I do also have a gated front porch. Requests of pictures and/or videos are welcome. Pets would also have free roam of the whole house as well.

“Jarett was wonderful. Freya was unfamiliar with him at first but they are now friends. We will happily have him stay with her again. He kept us informed of her well-being, which is always a big relief when you’re away from home.”

Maria K.

“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’ve taken care of animals all my life. Starting with my own when I was younger. Occasionally I would watch my family and friends pets. My animals are family. I’m currently working as bartender and starting up with my massage therapy career. While my daughter is in day care I’d love to spend more time doing something I enjoy like caring for animals. I can easily take your animals for a walk or play with them at your home. At the moment my home isn’t equipped for animals.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have experience fostering rescue dogs, caring for strays, and pet sitting for family, friends, and repeat clients. As a professional nanny, I’m responsible, attentive, and reliable. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m working part time and love to be active and on the go, running errands around town it makes it easy to fit your needs into my schedule. During in-home visits, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, clean up any messes, and provide plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or a few extra treats and cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away!

“Thank you Rover and thank you Bea. The app was easy to use and Bea was an excellent choice. She kept us updated multiple times a day with pictures and quick updates. I would definitely recommend Bea to anyone in need of a sitter. The dogs loved her. She left our house clean and the dogs well cared for. 5 stars, definitely!”

Kelly T.

“Lindsay is awesome!! This is the second time I have used her for housesitting. She sent pictures and videos of my pup every day, I would definitely recommend using her. We came home to a spotless house after being gone for a week. I really appreciate everything she’s has done.”

Peter L.

“Brianna was a Godsend to us and our 3 fur babies. Our dogs are 1, 4 and 15 so each has different needs. The old man is on 4 medications 2x a day and is VERY stubborn about taking them. Brianna stayed patient and made sure he took them every time. She sent us updates at least twice a day which always included cute pics❤️. I was so nervous using someone other than family, but her calm and caring demeanor immediately put me at ease. In addition to taking such great care of the dogs, our house looked just as it did when we left.”

Bridgette R.

“Chelsea was so great with our dogs, we have one that can be particularly difficult and she handled her like a dream. Great communication and updates; we will for sure use her again in the future.”

Kristin D.

“Kristie treated our girls like they were family. She took the BEST care of our dog and cat while we were away for a week. Was so flexible with booking, responsive and full of the best photos while we were gone. We knew we could rest easy. She is INCREDIBLE!! Thank you Kristie!!!!!”
