House Sitting in Howells

“This the second time Tricia has cared for our cat, and I can’t say enough about what she does. When we had a schedule issue, she was so considerate and willing to accommodate! I know our cat is as happy having Tricia at home with him, as he is with us being there! Five stars and a huge “Thank you!!”.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and experience with pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience training puppies with basic commands and crate training, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who may need medication, extra patience, or mobility support. I’m also highly reliable and communicative I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so they feel connected and reassured while they're away. My calm, friendly approach helps pets feel safe and at ease, whether it’s their first time with a sitter or they need special care. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and that personal connection makes all the difference. Pet care fits into my daily routine as a consistent and rewarding responsibility. Every morning starts with feeding my dog and taking him for a quick walk to get some energy out before the day begins. In the evenings, I usually spend about 30 minutes either going on a longer walk or playing fetch at the park. On weekends, I make time for grooming like brushing his fur or giving him a bath if needed and sometimes schedule vet checkups or pick up new toys or treats. It’s a routine that keeps me grounded, and it’s always nice to end the day with a loyal companion by my side. When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent environment. For dogs, I ensure they have regular feeding times, fresh water, daily walks, and playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also follow any specific instructions the client provides, such as administering medications or adhering to training routines. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s regular schedule to reduce stress from their owner's absence. I clean up after the pet, monitor behavior for signs of illness or anxiety, and send updates (with photos) to the owner for peace of mind. Whether it’s overnight care, walking, or short visits, my goal is to make each pet feel safe and loved while their owner is away.

“Haley did a great job with our dogs. Kept us in the loop with pics and dogs seemed happy.”

I would like to negotiate your needs, my shifts right now, are 8am-4pm in Lawrence Kansas. Depending on services being requested, I may be able to adjust my scedule. I live with my brother and sister in law, we are a 3 dog home. Dogs are very friendly with all types of other dogs. Lots of land for dogs to run. They must be well trained to be here and or walk well on a leash, there is No fenced in areas. I love to go for walks and play. Also I will research your animal and provide appropriate cares and love.

About: I have 2 years experience working at an animal shelter and now I’m currently an evening Manager/Office Assistant at a pet resort. I am cat and dog first aid and CPR certified! I have many clients that I work with outside of Rover. Seeing new dogs/cats coming in everyday each with different situations has helped so much with learning. I have done pet sitting for tropical fishes, bearded dragons, birds, a lobster, a rabbit, tree frogs, snakes and different types of dogs. I also can house sit/check up on cats. I’m very responsible and respectful and I’m always available through my phone with any questions or concerns you have about your pet. I hope you consider me as your pet sitter! Can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! I work full time from 11am-8pm Monday-Friday. I prefer to do drop in visits before and after work. I can even stop by on lunch break. I make sure to make it a positive and safe environment for your pets. Before letting a dog out I check the yard, making sure that gates aren’t open and there’s nothing in the yard to harm them. Give the treats and lots of love.
