House Sitting in Houghton

“Abigail did a great job watching our fur baby Sofi. She gave us daily updates with text messages and pictures. It was a great comfort having my 15 year old fur baby well taken care of. We look forward to having Abigail take care of Sofi on our next vacation.”

“Took great care of our dogs! Thank you so much.”

“Elizabeth was wonderful! She stayed at our home for 6 nights, and replied to texts immediately and sent pictures of our 2 dogs and 2 cats everyday. The pets took to her right away. She has a calming demeanor and very polite. I highly recommend Elizabeth.”

“Chloe did a great job with an overnight stay! She sent photos in the evening and morning. Chloe was attentive to Allie's schedule and even let our pup sleep with her.”

“Julianne provided exceptional house and pet sitting services for our cats while we were away for several weeks. She managed a complicated setup as we have one indoor cat and another that required both indoor and outdoor access. She displayed remarkable attention to detail and ensured our pets were safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. Her proactive communication kept us informed and confident that all aspects of our home and pet care were under control. We returned to find everything in perfect order and our cats happy and healthy, thanks to her dedicated and compassionate service.”

“John was amazing with our boys! Would highly recommend.”

“Shauna was wonderful with Ozzie. She came to our campsite and took care of him while we went out. She was flexible with her hrs. and came 2 days in a row. He gets very nervous whenever I leave and she was able to keep him calm and happy. He generally takes a while to warm up to people and he took to her immediately. I would highly recommend her.”

“Nikki was wonderful with our beagle, Wesley. She sent pictures regularly and followed our requests without any issues! Our house, including all our flowers, were well cared for! Communication excellent. Nikki was also very accommodating when we had travel issues returning home. We would use her services again, for sure!”

“As a pet sitter, Sofia is simply the best, the epitome of pet sitters everywhere… I have hired her numerous times over the last few years over long weekends away, to weeks-long vacations for my 2 German shepherd (big) babies, Joey and Nikita. Although my dogs are strong and willful, they obey and behave like kittens when around her. The care she provides goes well and beyond the routine walks and feedings, she treats them with love and affection and they love her right back! Her honesty is unquestionable, I feel totally comfortable living the keys to my place with her. I recommend Sofia to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy help with their pets! Doris M.”

“We had Jessica stay in our home while we were away on a family vacation. She sent daily pics of our dogs playing in the yard and updates. We came home to a clean house and very happy animals. Highly recommend Jessica. We will definitely use her again!”

“Matt did a wonderful job looking after our fur kids while we were away. Sent us photos and updates that really put our minds at ease. Our dog Burger and cats sushi and Dillard can't thank Matt enough for all the care, love and treats! Will definitely use Matt again in the future.”

About: I have 2 dogs one sick and a cat. I am in highschool until June 2019. I am looking for a job to earn some money for college. I have to give my sick dog medicine for liver shunts 3 times a day so I know what it's like. I can't watch dogs at my house because I don't want my dogs to do anything harmful. I can clean litter boxes and have cleaned up many puppy accidents from my dogs. I can walk dogs around and occasionally check in and feed and water them. I have given my dog a bath and am also willing to do the same as long as the dog is not aggressive. I have watched dogs before. I am eager to get to work and earn some money for college.

About: I quickly became a dog mom when my partner moved into my house with his 5 year old dog Sampson. I fell in love with our daily walks in the field behind our house, as well as having something to take care of in the house. Sampson listens, he is a dog I can walk off leash and the best cuddle buddy. Because of his good nature I soon found myself growing our family by the addition of two puppies. Hank was our first pup - he is a Great pyreenes mixed with a Bernese Mountain Dog. Think fluffy, slobbery, and 140 pounds. I wasn't sure how a big dog and myself would get along but I found his size comforting. Stella was a dog we failed at fostering. She is a smaller terrier mix and is teaching me the true purpose of crates and leashes. I learn every day how to be better for my dogs. It is chaotic, messy and unpredictable living with three dogs but I wouldn't change it for anything. I am by no means a perfect dog owner but I understand the complexities and uniqueness of each dog and their personalities. I rely on being consistent and predictable for my dogs so they continue to trust me to take care of them. Their health and happiness is my priority. I am a school teacher. When school is in session I am free after 5pm. When we are on break for holidays or summer, I am free anytime. At my house, I don't have a fenced in yard but we have over 20 acres to walk. I am comfortable walking dogs on a leash. I have a crate for a medium to small sized dog and an outdoor "doggio" for warmer days or if a furry friend wants some time outdoors relaxing. I have three dogs, one of which is a very large and enjoys rough housing with other dogs. We have lots of toys and a house that that continues to become dog proof. We let our dogs on the couches and they have a large living room to play in.

“Sadie is awesome! Works full time at a horse facility caring for 30 horses; she’s super responsible, communicative, and honest. Never met a pet she didn’t love!”

“I only trust Biz with my animal babies! She’s the best and the ultimate animal lover! Shes very attentive to your animals needs and takes her job as the up most importance. Thank you Biz!”

“Amy is the absolute best with dogs!! She has yet to meet a dog who doesn't like her. She has 3 dogs of her own. They get nothing but the best from her. She has so much love for her animals. She would make an excellent dog sitter. She knows how to give meds as needed. She lets them run and play to get the exercise they need.”

“I've been in Cheyenne's life for 9 years. In that time I've watched her grow and love to take care of her pets. She's taken care of her cats, dog, her rabbits as she was in 4H, and also her horse that she has grown up with. She's very responsible and is very caring when it comes to animals.”

“Great sitter. She was early even though it was early morning when we ask her to come! She played outside with our dogs and they loved her! House was clean just as we had left it. Will use again!”
