House Sitting Ingalls Park

“Roisin was an absolutely amazing with our dog, Estes. We don’t live in the area but was visiting family in her hometown area. She came to my parents’ place and stayed with our dog for a few hours while we attended a memorial service. She came the night before to do an “ meet and greet,” and it was apparent right away she knew how to handle our sensitive dog. She communicated right away and sent pictures so we could be at ease and enjoy the service. We would book again with her in a heartbeat. Thank you so very much!!!!”

“This is the second time we booked with Faith for our pup. She is communicative, sent an update picture, and followed out requests. Would recommend!”

“We booked Pam to stay with our dog while we went out of state for my stepdaughter's wedding after another sitter had to change plans due to surgery. Pam was wonderful! Raider is a weirdo and will refuse to warm up to sitters. Pam kept in constant communication letting me know how things were going and asking how she might get him to warm up. He often does not eat for my spouse and me so I wasn't surprised that he was not eating for her. Pam cooked bits of steak to put on his food twice (and offered to go buy one but we happened to have steak in the freezer) - which got him to eat after two days of refusing. Pam is very kind and really cares about the pets she sits. She also left our house spotless. It was especially wonderful to come home to clean sheets! I am very grateful Pam took such good care of Raider so we could enjoy the wedding festivities!”

“Michelle is the best!! Our dog has some special requirements because she is reactive and Michelle is so so great with her. 1000% will want to book again and again with her!”

“Jordan followed every instruction to the T. She was very polite, professional, responsive and communicative in the months of planning leading up to our big trip. The only mishaps while we were away were handled adeptly without stress or drama and Jordan even made one more visit to care for everyone when our return flight came in later than planned. We arrived home (from being thousands of miles away for a week of almost no cell service) to find our +20 member fur family happy, well fed and not at all worse for the wear. The house was just as we had left it. We truly look forward our next opportunity to book Jordan. Mahalo nui Jordan- you made a once-in-a-lifetime family reunion happen. We are so grateful we had your care here at home so we could be away to make these priceless memories!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since i was 12. Ive had experience with puppies as well as older dogs that need more help with things daily. I will always play or run around with dogs if i’m not petting them. I am currently working a part time job which leaves Thursday’s to Sunday’s open! Starting mid September I will be going to a school to get my CDL license, this will take up Monday-Friday mid day, but weekends and afternoons I will be available! I’ve learned how to deal with crating dogs if needed, as well as worrying about a dog jumping on me or barking. If an older dog ever needs any assistance and requires me to pick them up for help with stairs or a porch I’m willing to do so.

“Jennifer stayed with our Lab mix Hazel for the last week and we were so happy with how things went! Hazel got lots of walks, play time, snuggles and love! She stayed in touch with us several times a day and sent pictures?. Not only did Jennifer take wonderful care of Hazel, but also took care of the mail, garbage, and pet hair - it all made our trip that much more enjoyable! We can’t wait for Jennifer to come back for our next trip!”

About: I’ve had two dogs and currently have one cat. All of my pets are seniors and incredibly well loved. My best friends in the entire world!

I’ll provide full attention to your pet and treat them as my own! I love spending time with pets in any setting such as outside or indoors. Pets are a member of a family and should be treated as such!

“Margaret was fantastic with my pup! We had a meeting set up to introduce her to my pup and he loved her. I received daily pictures and updates on how he was doing, and I couldn't be happier. Would recommend! Margaret was fantastic with my pup! We had a meet and greet beforehand so she could get to know him, and he loved her right away. While I was away, I received daily pictures and updates on how he was doing, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was also incredibly understanding and flexible when I experienced flight delays on my way home, which I really appreciated. I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and would absolutely recommend Margaret to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Kamille stayed over at my home to watch my cat and left me with a peace of mind during my vacation. I came back and my apt was the way I left it and most importantly, my cat was super happy. Highly recommend working with her as she’s super easygoing and communicative!”

“Christine is absolutely wonderful. She takes such good care of the dogs, and they absolutely adore her! To top it off, my house always seems cleaner when I get home than when I left it!!”

About: I’m a veterinary professional with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets, so I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and needs. I have experience giving medications, monitoring pets closely, recognizing changes in behavior or health, and handling nervous or high-energy animals. I’m also big on keeping pets comfortable, sticking to their normal routines, and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and love. Your pet will get the same level of care and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care is a big part of my everyday routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day rather than just stopping by for a quick visit. I’m used to building my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and plenty of cuddles. I’m also comfortable following each pet’s individual routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always follow their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I keep their space clean, follow feeding and medication instructions, provide walks, potty breaks, playtime and plenty of attention, and send regular updates so you know how they’re doing. I’m also a veterinary professional, so I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health and handling pets with different needs. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Aleena was just wonderful and we cannot thank her enough. She walked in to a unique situation caring for a senior pup with a back injury and handled it calmly and kindly. She was responsive and took great care of our girl! Would recommend her to any pet owner. Thank you again, Aleena!!”

I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions from their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same respect I would my own and make sure their pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care.
