House Sitting in Homeland

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life from small breeds like a corgi mix to a border collie and from raising puppies to full adult dogs, I have always been responsible for my family pets and I absolutely LOVE dogs. I currently have one dog right now that is a rescue :) I truly love being around dogs and understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I am currently off for summer from college as a Pre-med student in Idaho! I am always available for your furry pets at any time, whether that’s the weekend or the weekdays I am here for the full summer! I will always ensure your dog is safe, comforted, and well taken care for in your home. I treat others pets like they are my own. I strive to keep their routine as normal and stress- free as possible when you’re away! Whether this means walks, playtime, or cuddles, or simply giving them company, i’ll give them plenty of attention and love :)

About: I am extremely reliable, I treat animals with a one of a kind type of affection. I pay good attention to their needs and wants. I don’t have a weekday job, when I do work it’s for a brief 3-5 hours on weekends or online work. I am able to give the pet any extra attention needed. My home is extremely safe. We live in a nice neighborhood with a close by park. My family adores animals. We have a clean living area.

“Melinda came and introduced herself and met our pups before the start of her house sitting dates and we really appreciated it! She continued to give us updates on how or dogs were doing. And our lab had an accident while she was with them in his kennel and she cleaned him up and his things, and kept an eye on him to let us know if he showed any symptoms of something more seriously wrong. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter to keep an eye on our boys while we were out. Definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs ❤️”

“This was our first time using an in-home dog sitter after losing our previous dog unexpectedly at a boarding facility, so we were understandably very hesitant. From the moment we met Vickie, she immediately put us at ease and gave us the confidence to leave our new pup at home while we were away. Vickie went above and beyond by visiting a few times before our trip to help our pup feel comfortable with her in our home. While we were gone, she kept us updated with daily photos, which meant so much to us, and she even took the time to water our garden. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and a house in perfect condition. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Vickie provided and would absolutely love to work with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

About: I started caring professionally for animals when I was just 16 years old. In the veterinary facilities over the years, I worked my way up from kennel attendant, to customer service representative, to customer service supervisor, to customer service manager, to reproduction veterinary assistant. Over these years I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages. During my time as a reproduction veterinary assistant, I found a passion for breeding/deliveries/neonatal puppy care etc. I took this passion and started caring for other people’s pregnant momma dogs within my home. I delivered the puppies, and raised them for infinite weeks until said breeders found their forever families. I raised, cared for, and trained over 150 puppies within my home during the last 4 years. I established long lasting relationships with not only the momma dogs families, but also the families of many of the puppies I was blessed to raise here. Many of which now come to me to watch and care for their dogs/puppies while on vacation, busy day at work, or maybe need a bath/blowdry/brushout/nail trim etc. when needed. I wanted to open up my home and extend my love and animal care for anyone else who may need my service. I am home all day most days. Now that my kids are grown and come and go on their own, I have ability to care for others pets and fully accommodate any needs they may have. When pets are in my home, they can roam freely within designated areas, sleep in beds with us like they are family, or be crated off and on if preferred by their families. We have a fenced yard for outside playtime and a designated turf area for dogs to do their business.

“I’m so happy we had Maria to take care of our Cane Corso. She stay in communication with me and kept me updated with pictures of “our baby”. She made me feel very comfortable having her in our home. I highly recommend Maria, we will be booking with her again.”

“There are no words to rate or describe how wonderful Alivia was with Owen (16 year old dog). She arrived ahead of scheduled time and left after time allotted. She watched and kept Owen company for 3 days 8-5. They went on Adventures everyday rather than just sitting in a hotel room. The pictures she took and sent were amazing. She took Owen to an awesome pet store, had picnic and showed him the sites of Fresno. He was smiling and happy. Alivia made a horrible visit to Fresno (had trial in court) a good one and didn't have the stress of worrying about Owen. I definitely highly recommend Alivia-5++++++ stars. Thank you for your love and compassion.”

About: I have been a devoted pet caregiver and self owner since the age of 10. I have experience training and care giving for many different type of breeds such as huskies , poodles , jack Russell’s, German shepherds, pit bulls , and more. I always have experience with cats as well and love them just as much. My passion for the genuine care of animals is immense and I would strive to give the best service always. I have been fortunate enough to take some time away from my 9-5 and have had a dire need to pick up a hobby of something I genuinely would LOVE to do. My schedule is completely open to the needs of fur babies! I have one extremely friendly and loving husky who would love to engage with other pets just as much as I would. I have a large fenced backyard for play and gates that block off any potential hazards such as a open road.

“Joanne was wonderful Lucy loved her and we would definitely have her come back. She was neat and my house was nice and tidy upon my return.”

“Caleb and Sara are absolutely amazing 🤩 They did a wonderful job taking care of my cat. They are excellent with communication and updates. They made sure to make me and my cat feel comfortable. 💯 rebooking them next time I need a sitter!! Their professionalism, love and care they gave to my fur baby made Thanksgiving that much more enjoyable. Thank you both so much!!!”

“My 3 dogs loved Darian! They were so glad they did not have to stay at a kennel or at home alone and that he was there at night. Darian also picked up the mail and took them for walks and gave one dog medication. I would love to have him come back and stay again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—cats, dogs, bunnies, even turtles—so caring for them comes naturally to me. I have a genuine love and soft spot for animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. What sets me apart is my patience, attention, and ability to make pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a calm senior pet, I’m committed to giving them the care, affection, and trust they deserve. I currently work at Amazon, where I have a consistent schedule of four 10-hour shifts each week. On my days off, I have plenty of availability and love staying active, so pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I enjoy going on walks and being outdoors, and I’d love to have a dog join me during my daily activities and exercise. I’m also open to working around my schedule to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In your home, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel secure and stress-free. I pay attention to details like feeding schedules, leash safety, and keeping a clean, calm environment. During walks or visits, I stay alert to surroundings and make sure your pet is always safe and well cared for. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and at ease at all times.

“Skylar was great and my dogs loved her. She took great care of them, sent lots of pictures and communicated throughout her stay. We look forward to the next time:)”

About: Within my family we have multiple different dogs of different sizes. In highschool I was apart of my schools vet class as well as the school competitions. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and at a local veterinary. Currently I’m on summer break so I have unlimited time to take care of any pets. I would like to communicate with the owners and hear of what expectations they want so I can provide it. When going to a customers house I follow all rules that have been provided. I’m also careful with what I bring with me so no harm can come to the animals I’m watching.

“I am so thankful I picked Kerrie to watch my 3 furbabies. No one has ever watched them except family so I was very nervous. Kerrie was wonderful with them, very patient with my timid girl. She sent me updates and pictures daily. She cleaned up the house and vacuumed all the doggie hair up before I got home. After a week my home looked perfect just the way I left it. My pups are so relaxed and happy I know she took good care of them. As long as she’s available we have found a perfect dog sitter. Thank you Kerrie for loving my pups. ❤️”

“Marissa was great! We had 2 meet and greets to ensure she was a good fit. She was very accommodating to our schedules and it gave us the confidence to leave our Great Pyrenees with someone who would give him good care. She updated us daily with texts and pictures. Took also him on several walks a day. We will definitely call on her again for our future vacations.”

Mary G.

“I hired Kaylee to sit at my home with my Belgian Malinois with separation anxiety. I appreciate her quick responses thru the Rover App, and her willingness to arrive for an early morning appointment. We will definitely call Kaylee again in the near future.”

About: I’m a dedicated pet parent and small business owner running a father-and-son pet care team. We offer reliable, structured care with clear communication, personalized attention, and photo/video updates so you always know your dog is safe, comfortable, and doing well. We’re different from large, crowded kennels. We only take a limited number of dogs at a time so each pup gets real one-on-one care, not just quick check-ins. Your dog is treated like part of our family known by name, routine, and personality. I have experience with rescue dogs, dogs with PTSD or separation anxiety, and pups who need extra help with confidence, social manners, or routine-based care. I focus on calm, consistent structure while my son brings extra play, snuggles, and companionship. Together, we create a peaceful environment where dogs can relax and feel secure. Each dog’s care plan is tailored to their energy level, age, and needs. Whether your dog is high-energy, anxious, reactive, or laid-back, we keep a steady schedule of walks, potty breaks, enrichment, feeding, and rest so they feel settled and at home. You can expect dependable scheduling, fast responses, and regular updates throughout every visit or stay. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, stress-free experience for both you and your dog, while treating them the way I’d want someone to treat my own pets. I offer boarding, house sitting, daycare, dog walking, and drop-in visits with flexible options to fit your schedule. If you’re looking for a small, family-run, highly personalized alternative to traditional boarding, I’d be happy to care for your pup and welcome them into our Reliable Paws family. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, dog walking, and drop-in visits during the week and weekends. I make sure pets aren’t left alone for long periods and always get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or visiting yours. For boarding, your dog will have a comfortable, supervised space with regular potty breaks and playtime. For walks and drop-ins, I prioritize safety, leash control, and awareness of surroundings at all times. I treat every pet like my own and provide regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing. Reliable Paws Pet Care is fully insured through Pet Care Insurance (PCI) for added peace of mind.

About: Hi there! I recently moved here from a farm town in Oregon, where I grew up surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes. Having lived on a farm with everything from horses and cows to emus and chickens, I developed a deep comfort level and respect for animals early on. I’ve personally owned six dogs and three cats, so I understand the unique personalities and needs of different breeds. Beyond my own pets, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends, coworkers, and managers for years. Whether your pet is a high energy pup or a shy cat, I pride myself on providing a calm, reliable, and loving environment. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I am currently transitioning between roles, which means my schedule is wide open! Pet care is my primary focus right now, allowing me to provide full-time companionship, frequent walks, and a consistent routine for your fur baby. Whether they need a midday potty break or extra cuddles throughout the day, I’m available to give them my undivided attention. When I’m in my client’s home I love to focus on 'active supervision.' This means we aren't just sitting around; we’re engaging in enrichment, going for walks, and ensuring they get the mental stimulation they need. I am also very comfortable administering medications or following complex dietary instructions, ensuring your pet’s health is the top priority. I also don’t mind doing little things around the house, whether that be bringing in mail or watering plants, happy to help! (:
