House Sitting in Hot Springs

“Two thumbs and four paws up!! Becca was a joy to work with. Our home and old pup were in great hands with her. She promptly responded to all of our communucations and made the whole process painless, so we could concentrate on enjoying our time away. Highly recommend!”

“Elizabeth was great. We came home to a happy dog, healthy chickens, and a clean house. She kept up with harvesting from the garden as requested. We'll happily use her again.”

“Julie is the absolute best! She dog sat at my home for 9 days, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Julie went out of her way to build a relationship with my sweet girl, Lumi, who was rescued from abuse and neglect and can be reactive, barky, and nervous. Julie is a true dog-lover, and it shows in how much care and professionalism she puts into her dog sitting and walks. She more than willingly took the time to learn all of Lumi’s little quirks and how to manage meds, walks and adventures, etc so that they could have a fun time together. Julie sent photos and updates everyday, and I could see how content and happy Lumi was spending time with her. I’m so thankful to have found Julie, and I look forward to booking her again in the future!”

“Anne was amazing! She took my dog on hikes, walks, adventures and kept me in the loop over the weekend. She treated him so well! House was clean, I felt completely relaxed the entire wknd, she truly went above and beyond for my little guy. I could tell my dog was happy with her!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Eric! He came over to meet my stranger-danger pup a few days before I went out of town and has above and beyond to make sure my dog is safe,comfortable and well cared for while I’m gone! The updates I’ve gotten throughout my trip have reassured me that they are having a great time while I travel. I’ll definitely be having him pet sit again!”

Erika A.

“I cannot say enough good things about Gabriel. We met with our dogs, to see how they would be together and he and I talked about the weekend I needed puppy-sitting. Instead of either staying at his apt or mine, because she is a very recent rescue, I asked if he could keep her at his place during the day but then have all 3 of them come and sleep at my apt at night. I did this so that she would know that even if she gets dropped off somewhere else, she is ALWAYS coming back to her home. This worked out very well and he is just the most caring person when it comes to our dogs. I don't travel very often, but I would like to confirm that he is a magnificent pet sitter and I hope he gets lots of business because he deserves all good things!!!”

“Reilly saved me in a time crunch situation and was so flexible with the planning! She kept me updated constantly and took such good care of each of my dogs. They are very different personalities and she really catered to each one of them! Will be using her regularly when her schedule works :)”

About: I've had pets since I was a teenager. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 ferrets and 3 birds (2 cockatoos one quaker parrots). I've recently retired as a Project Manager from the Department of Veterans Affairs after 34 years. I just became retired and so I have plenty of time to hang out, play and entertain your pets. Almost all dogs and cats love me. As a project manager with the VA for the last 25 years I've been in a position of high public trust requiring that I have a background check every 5 years.

About: I grew up with 3 dogs and 4 cats. All rescues, all crazy in their own ways. I've been pet sitting about half my life now. I've saved dogs from coyotes and have helped cats with asthma. I've walked Great Danes in the valleys of Los Angeles and walked cute chihuahuas in North Carolina. I've assisted with Wolfdog care and encountered mountain lions in California. I've been exposed to many 4 legged creatures and respect them all the same. I currently have a pitbull mastiff and she's the sweetest thing. Except when she sees a groundhog. She's about 80 lbs. I still pick her up all the time to get her onto my bed or just to hold for a second. I know doggy CPR and am a 1st responder. If your dog needs to burn energy or lose a few pounds im your person. I can train the basics and some tricks here and there. I'm pretty good with navigating activities for your dog and looking out for any signs of distress or sickness. I have a pretty open schedule and can be flexible as well. My dog will never be exposed to yours regardless of how friendly your dog may seem. My yard is open, so I always walk pets on a leash. In a client's home, I just abide by what the owner states. I don't go against wishes because it takes 1 time to make a mistake. In my own home I usually let dogs have free roam unless advised otherwise.

“Susanna was absolutely perfect. She was able to accommodate a house sit last minute with our pups. She was very energetic and clicked immediately with Aurora. She left our house in great shape when she left. We would definitely recommend her to anyone and look forward to working with her again.”

About: We have had horses, cows, chickens, goats, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, you name it. I am very good at communicating with them and making them feel at home. I am a nursing student in need of a good paying job with a flexible schedule. This opportunity seemed perfect to me especially since outside of class I don’t get to interact with animals a lot! My home is very safe. Our fields have fences around them and I would keep your fur babies on leashes if they need to be!

“The most important thing is that Angel-Mae took fabulous care of my cats! They were completely happy, obviously having received love and playtime. Thank you Angel-Mae! I'm also so grateful that she was able to step in when my normal sitter had to cancel, pretty last-minute, because he broke his foot. My house is spotless, and she took good care of it as well as my cats. For these three most important attributes ( great cat care, home care, and availability), I give Angel-Mae 5 stars. Because Angel-Mae is new to house-sitting, there are some areas where she and I will make improvement the next time she comes. Specifically, I had asked her to do a few things around the house that did not get done (e.g. collecting mail from the mailbox, putting the garbage bin out on trash day). These things rank pretty low in importance compared to the high quality of care Angel-Mae gave my cats. With more experience, I am certain that Angel-Mae will learn to follow instructions and communicate more readily. Overall, I was very satisfied with her stay. So, I'm giving her a 5-star rating, (even though, truthfully, it's a 4.8 star rating). I will definitely request Angel-Mae to care for my cats again. And working out these minor kinks then, will allow me to give her a full 5-star endorsement in the future.”

“This was our first time using a dog/house sitter and it was perfect! Johnny was terrific and we can't thank him enough. We can't wait to plan another trip and know that our pups are being cared for like we care for them. Thank you! Thank you!”

“Anastasia took on our complicated situation with these. Our dogs secure and remained calm despite their reactivity issues. She was excellent with feeding and special accommodations of medication and foods for our allergic dog. I’d recommend her with regards. She even met the challenge of walking them sometimes can be difficult and our neighborhood With animals running loose .”

Roberta (Robin) S.

“This is my first Rover and I was a little nervous about leaving my anxious needy babies with someone I did not know. We only briefly met one time but was extremely pleased with the pictures sent and the communication with me while we were gone. I feel comfortable she spent the days being their companion. I got home and she had washed the dishes and taken the sheets off the bed. I would book her again the next time I need someone. Thank you Lynsey.”

About: Been around dogs and other animals all my life from big to small. I've been the family go to for taken care of or even just walks or visits. I'm a stay at home mom. Looking to bring in some extra money. Can work with just about any schedule that works around me picking up my child from school! Every animal will be taken care of with love as if it was my own. Can crate animals if needed. I'll do whatever is best for its comfort. When at a client's home(unable to host pets at my home) I learn how pet parents take care of there fur baby's so I can do my best to make them comfortable and enjoy themselves when I'm around and they have to be kid friendly cause I do have 1 or both of my children at times! My schedule is now pretty flexible. I look forward to helping you and loving your fur baby/babies while you're away and so you can have peace of mind. I take care of the fur babies as best as I can and like the parents ask. Take all precautions and always be on the up and up.

About: I’m known by the name Cimarron. With three dogs at home it can get interesting. From love and attention distributed equally to simply keeping the yard clean. I love to get to know them and see the changes as to their acceptance of you. I’ve got 25 years of Horse experience also My daily/weekly schedule is very flexible and allows me time in the morning as well as the entire evening to be with your pets. Your pet is priority. I have a fence in big yard and a doggie door. The dogs are allowed to come and go as they please. The area they come into is the kitchen and dining room. With a gate to keep them out of trouble going into the rest of the house when not there.

About: I have trained puppies, love taking fur babies on hikes, and have cared for people’s pets off an on my entire life. I am also in the process of training a kitten and traveling. I am familiar with livestock such as chickens, pigs, and goats. I am currently traveling the country living a nomad lifestyle, I have an open agenda which means plenty of time to provide excellent car for your furry loved ones. I provide ample love and attention, ensure proper exercise/play time, and maintain their current schedules. I routinely supply you (the pet parent) with updates as well as photos and videos of your furry friends living their best life while you also live yours.

“We booked Madison to stay in our house and watch our two Australian Shepherds for the weekend. She was amazing. She sent picture updates and left our house spotless. When we came back both our dogs were exhausted so she must have played with them all weekend. We will definitely book her again!”

About: Home is where your heart is as your pets are in your heart, I take care of both while your away on vacation or a work trip. My fur babies are my world. So you can be rest assured I care for yours as they're my own! I can assist with pet care in your home or mine. I offer dog walking for when you are at work or away from home on holiday. Playtime is paramount for most pets. It keeps them engaged and happy. Dogs that are active should have extra activities while you're away. I'm an active person and I believe it's your pets utmost health benefit to have lots of playtime and outdoor time! I also have fostered and pet sit for elderly or more low key dogs and always provide just the right amount of activity to take any limitations so not to strain or over do. I am currently taking dog behavioral training classes. I have some behavior training for dogs to best understand your pet. As I am always seeking to further my studies. I have lead trained, potty trained, and offered basic training during my time of sitting. Do not hesitate to schedule a meet and greet. Be happy to meet ya! I do work full-time, but mostly from home. Pets need to be OK on their own without constant supervision and pets have to be playful and friendly with others. I have several pets of my own. I do separate dogs I pet sit from my dogs after playtime so each of them can rest. I do separate during eating times as well.
