House Sitting in Independence

“Mary was fantastic! Our dog, Ella, got plenty of walks and play. Our home was well kept, mail was stacked neatly on the counter and we came home to a calm, happy dog. We would definitely use Mary again!”

“Jenna was fantastic with my dogs. There was consistent communication, including photos. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future.”

“Taryn did a wonderful job staying with my dog Henry. She sent pictures and communicated with me often of which I like. She was very patient with him as he sometimes can bark a little too much. She was caring and left my home tidy which is important to me. I would not hesitate to have her come sit with Henry again.”

“Jenny stayed in our home taking care of our 2 dogs - one dog is recuperating from a leg injury and she did a great job ensuring our girl got her exercise and rest. Jenny is dependable and communicates regularly. Highly recommend!”

“Samantha came to my rescue after my original house sitter had a family emergency. She took wonderful care of my dog Eddy and my cat Lily. Both pets were relaxed and content when I returned home. I would definitely have Samantha sit with my pets again!”

About: Raised with dogs and always been around them for the past 29 years of my life. I've also pet-sat for cats since 2012 and have lived with them since 2020. I currently have 4 cats, and a dog I share custody of with my parents. I love parks, going on walks or hikes, and always follow hygiene procedures. Cleaning litter is no problem. I have minor dog training experience and will always ask what commands you want me to remain consistent on. I have experience giving cats and dogs oral medication via syringe and pill, and am familiar with specific dietary and medical needs. If your pet needs extra mobility help I am here for them, too. What sets me apart is that I am reliable, calm, and enthusiastic about all animals. I have recently returned to university, so my schedule is very flexible. Most of my classes are online. Every week I check what needs to be done for the next week so that I can plan the best patterns for work, study, and life. Staying up late or Waking up early is no problem. The first thing I do in respect to any client is get to know what expectations are and a brief history of the pet and their needs. Setting firm boundaries while expressing deep compassion and care is my go-to. I adore playing with active pets and giving them plenty of cuddles and attention - but if a pet is skittish of strangers or doesn't like being touched I will always give them the space they need to be themselves. Trust is a two-way street and as a human it is my responsibility to bridge the language gap with patience, love, and consistency. Making sure pets are safe and accommodated for in weather is a priority, whether that is in the form of hydration, giving them a coat, or assuaging their fears.

About: I’m experienced with everything from puppies to older dogs who need slower walks, mobility support, special diets, or medication schedules. I provide patient, attentive care that keeps them comfortable. From pills to liquid meds to topical treatments, I can safely administer medications and follow detailed health instructions. Dogs thrive on consistency, so I keep feeding, walking, and play schedules steady to reduce stress. I also understand canine body language and adjust my approach to match each dog’s personality—energetic, anxious, shy, or social. I can offer mentally stimulating activities, gentle training refreshers, and safe play tailored to your dog’s needs. I love every dog like family—with patience, structure, and tons of love. I am a teacher in the district so I am available before and after school Tuesday through Friday. I usually am free all day Saturday through Monday. I currently have 3 dogs. My home is set up to keep them secure, with no hazards and plenty of cozy rest areas. I keep a close eye on behavior, health, and mood changes so I can respond quickly if needed. When I visit your furry friends, it’s all about keeping them happy, healthy, and feeling like nothing’s changed while you’re away: -Personal attention: From belly rubs to fetch sessions, I give your pets the love and attention they deserve (only if they want it, of course!). -Home sweet home: I make sure their space stays clean, comfy, and safe—fresh water, tidy litter boxes, and zero muddy paw disasters. -Low-stress visits: Shy cats? Nervous pups? I know just how to approach each personality with patience and fun. -Fun and enrichment: Quick games, snuggles, or gentle training refreshers keep their minds and bodies active.

“Rachel did an amazing job with our dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing she was taking such good care of them. We got daily updates, with pictures. She gladly brought in mail and watered plants for us. She is very accommodating and fit us in to her schedule. She was able to pop in for 3 afternoons visits before her time here started when our son wasn’t able to get here during the day to let them out. We will definitely be calling her for future jobs! She’s a gem!!”

“Nina was delightful. She immediately greeted our pets when she came for a meet & greet, asked good questions & took notes. We really appreciated that. She was a great communicator during the pet/house sit. Our pets were very happy when we got back home & she left our home in great shape. We will definitely request her again to care for our pets & home.”

“Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.”

About: I have two fur babies of my own so I relate to the stress of finding the perfect sitter. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and caring for them has become a true passion of mine. Ace is a rescue who taught me the importance of trust and patience. Maple I have raised since she was 3 months old. Through my experience I’ve learned how to help a timid rescue dog feel safe, or keeping an energetic pup happily engaged. From daily walks, training, cuddles, and maintaining a routine I understand every dog has their own personality/needs and I love getting to know what makes each one special! At the moment I am only a part time student, so I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby and/or babies! Rest assured! When caring for a pet in your home my goal is to keep them comfortable, safe and happy! I’ll learn your routines including feeding times, walks, any medications or special instructions. I’ll take time to build trust so your pet will feel relaxed. You can count on regular updates and photos. I love getting to know your dogs personality and what makes them unique. I will treat your babies like family making sure they feel loved while also respecting the space of your home.

“Pamela was great! She was responsive via text and left the house in perfect shape. We felt reassured knowing our pups were in good hands while we were away for a whole week!”

Claire S.

“Cameron did a great job watching our two dogs, which are pretty active throughout the day. I appreciated the time he invested in playing with them and sending us frequent communications on how things were going.”

Stacy B.

“We are so incredibly grateful for Whitney and everything that she’s done for us. Whitney brings a natural and consistent loving approach to her work. It was immediately clear that her care and supportive approach sets her apart from others. For this stay, Whitney cared for our two cats and one dog for a week. Due to the weather, we were delayed for 1 1/2 days coming home. Whitney was beyond understanding and did not hesitate to continue caring for our babies and home while we were away. We feel lucky and privileged to have met Whitney. I genuinely cannot wait until my babies have the opportunity to spend time with her again! Thank you again Whitney!!!”
