House Sitting in Hughes Mill

“Another good job dog and house sitting for us. Reliable sitter. Good communication. House left clean and tidy. Look forward to working with Nancy again”

“Shayna stayed at our home for 5 days while we were gone on vacation. We’ve been nervous to leave our two herding breed dogs with a pet sitter as they don’t warm up to strangers quickly. But this was not the case with Shayna. She was so calm and relaxed meeting them that they quickly relaxed with her. Shayna is very professional and conscientious and she was great about communicating on medications for our dog with Addison’s. This made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our trip! The house was clean and well cared for and we are so happy to have found a pet sitter that our dogs like and trust. I highly recommend Shayna!”

“This was the longest trip we have taken, and been away from our dogs. Shelly did a great job, and when she had other things she needed to do, she had her daughter help out, which I believe worked out great! The dogs were very happy to see us return, but I feel they were taken very well care of, and we would definitely ask Shelley to come back. Thank you, Shelly!”

About: I started taking care of friends' and neighbors' dogs after retiring in 2024. My lifelong love for cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes is now my daily passion! As an active retiree, I don't have any pets currently, and the house is empty and waiting for my next furry friend! I've cared for everything from dachshunds to a Bernese Mountain Dog. I love cats, but I want to watch them in your home, not mine. Happy to house-sit, work overnight shifts, and care for senior dogs and puppies. Although I don't have a fenced yard, I do have miles of walking trails and parks in the community, as well as an electronic fence for any dogs that need unrestricted access to a yard. I am fully retired and spend my days caring for your pets. Rarely will your important pet be left alone, if at all. I used Rover with my senior dog, Tucker, for over 5 years and met some wonderful people. It was a relief to me when I traveled, knowing my best friend was also enjoying his time in a safe, loving home. Now I meet new animal friends every week, and it feeds my soul and theirs. Your fur baby will have a dedicated sleeping space, feeding space, and unlimited access to our yard, depending on your needs. Full access to the entire house. I encourage you to bring toys, pet beds, crates, and any other items that will make your cherished pet comfortable. We are comfortable giving medication to older dogs, working with young puppies, and customizing our days to fit your pet's regular routines (such as walks, feeding, medication, and brushing). We have access to a private dog park, but we only go there after discussing it with you in advance. Note: we have an unfenced yard but use sound/ vibration to alert your pup if s/he is trying to escape. No electricity involved, just moderate stimulation. Most dogs learn the boundaries very quickly and without any discomfort.

“This was our second time having Louisa to stay and mind our Irish setter Marnie and little cat Minxie. Louisa is such a great sitter, very communicative and prompt. We would be very happy to book Louisa again!”

About: I’ve grown up primarily with large dogs, those dogs smaller alongside feline friends as cared for by my grandfather and I before his passing. Educating and reinforcing the significance of proper animal care in my calling to love on these furry friends with responsibility and compassion! I’m very flexible, just communicate your preferences and needs as I’ll happily make them happen in order to properly provide service to our furry friends! Providing service at the clients home looks like keeping up with a clean environment, annual check ups via phone with the owner while always remaining alert to the animal’s needs.

About: Hi there! I’m Alisa, a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter who adores spending time with dogs and cats. I specialize in making pets feel at ease and comfortable, no matter their temperament or needs. With my gentle approach and keen attention to detail, I ensure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, cuddles, or a walk in the park, I’m here to provide excellent care tailored to your pet’s unique personality. I understand how important your pets are to you, and you can trust that I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Let’s work together to make sure your best friend has a positive and stress-free experience while in my care! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to learn more about your pet and their needs! I work remotely and therefore can spend time with your pets at your home.

I am a trusted housesitter, having cared for many animals over the years (both my own and others).

About: Since high school I have had experience with normal pets to the exotic! I can honestly say that each animal is an individual that deserves their specific needs acknowledged and met. I do have experience with senior animals that need medication as well as special needs, there hasn’t been an experience that I haven’t learned from! I’ve even read books like Caesar’s Way in order to better understand my own pets and help them. I’ve even been known to be a bit of a perfectionist although that was in my earlier years now I can gladly say am a seasoned sitter! Please feel free to reach out to me before booking my care and I will answer any and all questions! Caring for your family member fits into my routine because at the moment I am a dog Mom of one dachshund with a good partner that loves her as much as I do! I also do volunteer work, which is extremely flexible. Aside from that a lot of what I do is online, which works out great when pet care is involved I will care for your family member by noting all of their needs as well as asking any questions I have about the environment if it was not already covered in our introduction. I like to take notes!

“Jessica house sat my boys over the Xmas holiday when I needed to be assured they would be well cared for. They can be rambunctious and challenging sometimes and Jessica handled it all. I will be happy to have Jessica sit with them again.”

“Mikayla has been outstanding with our two GSD’s! She is very in tune to their separate personalities and is very patient with our baby King, who is shy with new people in his space. I appreciate her patience and advanced knowledge of this breed. We feel at ease and comfortable leaving the boys in her care at our home when we are away.”
