House Sitting Huffman-O'malley

“Sarah did a great job of taking care of my pup and house. The pup was happy and heathy at the end of Sarah’s stay and the house was very tidy. I’d highly recommend Sarah to anyone needing a sitter!”

“Took great care of my pup while we were gone for a little weekend getaway! She stayed for a while each time and loved on him! We are super grateful.”

About: My name is Jacob and I have 15 years of experience caring for mine and my family's pets. I also have approximately 4 years of volunteer experience at shelters caring for cats and dogs. I have experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and energy levels. From tiny pups to large, strong dogs, I'm confident handling them safely and calmly. I've worked with dogs that have behavioral challenges such as leash reactivity, anxiety, fearfulness and high energy. I'm patient, attentive, and always focused on understanding each dog's unique needs. I'm autistic, and I've found that this often allows me to connect especially well with animals. I'm very attentive to body language, routines, and subtle behavior changes, which helps me respond calmly and consistently- particularly with dogs who need a little extra understanding. My goal is to make every walk a positive, stress-free experience. My schedule is pretty flexible to do drop-in care for your pets or walks as needed. I am willing to work with clients so they can get the care they need for their pets. I am willing to do drop-in care at client's homes as needed. I can also take dogs for walks from client's homes as requested by client.

“Rachel was an absolutely fantastic sitter! She responded quickly to messages, maintained my (spoiled) cat’s specific routine, left the house spotless, and I returned to a happy relaxed cat.”

“Madeleine did a wonderful job house sitting for a weekend and took amazing care of my dogs! She is reliable, easy to communicate with, and left my house super tidy. She went above and beyond to help me out when my flight was delayed unexpectedly.”

“Karina was absolutely wonderful!! She sent daily updates, and was really great with all our animals. We have a picky dog who’s not much of a people dog, but he fell in love with her instantly.”

About: Hi there! I have been training and working with dogs of all ages for over 10 year now. Never too old to learn a new trick:) I am extremely versatile and happy to adapt to your pups speed. I love adventuring along side mans best friend. I love long hikes too:) As well as being a dog trainer I am also a horse trainer! I have trained dogs to work with horses, bikes, and on or off the leash walks:) Excited to meet your pup! I am currently working towards my bachelors in nursing. I am doing most of it online therefore I have a very flexible schedule! Always looking for more time and adventures with dogs. Patients is key! I understand not every dog is ready to jump into a new environment! And I am ready to work with them. Whether it is fear of being created, scared of new trails or people. We will work through it together(maybe with a little help from treats!) I am very aware of diets and allergies. And will keep your friend as safe as I would keep my own!

“Izabelle was great! She clearly loves animals and seemed very comfortable caring for my older dog, which put me at ease. She communicated clearly and sent me pictures of my pup along the way. I felt safe having her watch my home as well. Would definitely work with Izzy again. :)”

“Natalie is a wonderful house and pet caregiver. She took great care of our animals and was communicative and conscientious. We are already trying to rebook her for our next trip out of town.”

“We had Jakob and Ida dog/housesit for a few days and was pleased with their service. Jakob kept me informed and as promised dogs were tired from their walk when we got home. Plan to continue to use them for dog walking as well as house sitting services.”

“Catherine was amazing with Obi! Very responsive, extremely clean, and provided the best care possible for our injured pup. Will book with Catherine again for sure!”

“Julie is the best house & doggie sitter! She communicated regularly, sent pictures daily as requested and helped me mitigate & take action on my basement flooding during breakup this spring. My doggie was relaxed & happy when I returned home. My home was clean & neat. I would recommend Julie very highly!”

Leslie C.

“These two were delightful! I was out of service for much of the day, and they were a beautiful mix of communicative and self sufficient. Came home to very tired pups! Thanks again!!”

Rosie P.

“Nick is amazing! He’s a great communicator, very respectful, and the dogs and cat just love him! He asks important questions so he is prepared to handle potential emergencies, and is very thoughtful in caring for your home as well as your pets. We will definitely book Nick again!”

“My dogs love Nancy. They are excited to see her. I have three Havanese and they keep her busy. Nancy cleaned a couple of refrigerator shelves. It was unexpected but much appreciated.”

Carolyn C.

“We are so grateful that Sarah took such good care of our house and cats while we were away for two weeks. She sent us pictures each night, and cleaned up the house before we got home. It was nice knowing she was taking care of everything so we could enjoy vacation!”

About: Hi, I'm Audrey! I've been pet sitting for several years, and I love animals, especially dogs. In the summer I work as a Girl Scout camp counselor, so I definitely have experience wrangling large groups of small chaotic mammals! I have babysat everything from puppies to senior dogs, in all shapes and sizes, and even other animals like guinea pigs. I would love to hang out with your animals and give them lots of love and kisses! I'm currently a biology major at UAA, so I have classes Monday through Thursday. All of my classes are in the late morning and afternoon, so I will be at home with your animals in the mornings and evenings. I love to just hang out with animals! I usually spend a lot of time on the couch studying or reading with client animals next to (or on top of) me. I have no issues with animals sleeping in the same bed as me. My car is dog-proofed if you want me to take your dog(s) on a field trip to the dog park or their favorite walking trail. I am also quite good with plants, so I can take care of those for you at no extra charge.

“Freya was great with my two pups! She is excellent at communicating and providing updates. Our dogs were well taken care of and I didn’t have to worry once when being away. Will be booking again!”

Camryn R.

“I had a long trip out of state over the holidays planned, and I was worried about leaving my fur babies for so long. But I was really grateful to have had someone there with the animals who was clearly so caring and attentive. Her communication was great, very friendly, and the animals clearly loved her! Got regular pictures so I knew they were in good shape and happy. Thank you thank you thank you!”

Jenna C.

“Kristina took excellent care of both our home and our fur baby while we were away. She stayed in touch every day with updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a spotless house, and her communication throughout the entire trip was outstanding. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and can’t wait to have her back for our next trip. Highly recommend!”
