House Sitting in Ingleside

“Rachel was absolutely fantastic. She went above and beyond for our dogs and cared for them like our own. I’m pretty sure Dog’s would prefer to have her over us any day of the week. Lol but in all seriousness, she did an absolutely fantastic job so if you’re looking for a Dog Sitter, I cannot recommend her enough.”

“Monica is amazing! She has stayed at our house and watched our animals several times and she is very trustworthy and caring. She took care of our dog and cat over the Christmas holiday and gave updates multiple times a day. She is so good with animals, our dog gets so excited to see her! We could tell they were well taken care of when we got home. Thank you Monica!!!”

About: Hi there! My name is Olivia and I am an experienced animal trainer and vet tech. I worked at a clinic for 7+ years as a veterinary technician (including exotics!) and as a trainer and handler in a professional animal studio where I was in charge of animal (and people!) training. Have a special needs dog or one with quirky behaviors? I will work with you and with them. I can give medications, do walks, do short training sessions and will clean up after your pet. I am willing to work with and accomodate all types of dogs and other pets. I can even do some basic training sessions if requested during any visits. I have flexible availability and am able to be there early mornings to late nights to care for your furry friends. Personally, I am used to a multipet household as we have dogs, cats, and chickens. I will water your garden too! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, I am here for you and your pets! I work a flexible job from home and therefore I am flexible for your needs as well! I am more than happy to accomodate your pets every need! Pets will be treated with the upmost care, love, and respect when under out care. I take pride in loving every animal and am more than happy to accomodate any special requests or give special treats!

“Matthew was great!! We have a 5 month old vizsla puppy and he came and stayed at our house. He took Mater on long walks, always sent updates, photos, and videos. Mater was so happy when we got home, but also seemed like he missed his new friend! Matthew also cleaned the sheets, made the bed and washed all the towels. He kept the house very clean! Thank you so much!”

“Kamryn was an awesome sitter for my dogs. They were all happy and healthy when I got home. She kept me updated while I was gone and sent pictures everyday.”

“Nicole is an amazing sitter! I am so happy that I reached out to her when I was looking for someone to stay in our home with our 2 dogs. 1 of my dogs is very anxious, and especially around new people. Nicole took her time to get to know him and be patient with him. Everytime she updated me on our dogs, they looked happy and well taken care of. She even took them to parks a couple of times in the week and they looked so happy on their walks. We came back from our trip and our house was clean and the dogs were so happy! I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for an honest, responsible, and kind person to look after their pets! Thank you again Nicole! 10 out of 10.”

About: What sets me apart is that I’m not just a pet lover. I’m a vet student in the making. Caring for animals isn’t just a hobby for me, it’s part of my future career. I take the time to really get to know each pet’s personality and needs, whether that’s helping a puppy burn off energy and learn basic manners, or giving a senior pet the extra patience, comfort, and gentle care they deserve. Because I’m passionate about animal health, I pay close attention to things like eating habits, energy levels, and behavior changes, so I can spot if something seems off and communicate that to owners right away. I’m also comfortable handling a variety of breeds, temperaments, and special needs.nFor me, pet sitting isn’t just “watching” animals it’s making sure they’re safe, happy, and thriving, while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in caring, capable hands. Pet care is something I fit naturally into my day. My mornings usually start with feeding, fresh water, and a walk or some playtime to make sure pets start the day happy and active. If I have classes, I plan my schedule so I can come by for potty breaks, belly rubs, and some one on one time in between. In the evenings, I love taking longer walks, heading to a park, or just spending time playing or relaxing together. Weekends are perfect for extra adventures like exploring trails, visiting pet-friendly spots, or giving them some extra grooming and attention. For me, pets aren’t something I try to “fit in” around my day they’re part of it. I love making sure they get the care, attention, and love they need, no matter how busy my schedule gets. Whether in my own home or in a client’s home, my priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment for pets. I pay close attention to a pet’s personality, habits, and routines so I can adapt my care to their comfort level, whether that means providing a quiet, calm environment for shy pets or engaging in active play for more energetic ones. I also make it a point to send regular updates, photos, and notes to owners so they feel reassured and connected while they’re away. In my own home, I designate safe areas for rest, play, and meals, and I make sure fresh water is always available. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely everything from where the pet sleeps to how they like their walks so the pet’s routine is not disrupted. My goal is for every pet to feel secure, cared for, and happy, no matter the environment.

About: I’ve helped to take care of our dogs since I was 13 and have taken care of Lu guinea pigs for the past 4 years. I love all animals and I am planning on pursuing a career in veterinary science. I am currently searching for a part time job. Right now I am available on weekends and in the mornings and afternoons of weekdays, except for Thursday. I have a fenced in yard for my dogs to run around in. I am available to walk and play with your dog when needed. I am also capable when you are out of town, to visit to feed and let out/ play with your dog.

“Our dog is very active but Caroline kept up and did a great job!”

“Melissa and her family are great!! We have a challenging puppy and she can give anyone a run for their money. Melissa was up for the challenge and handled our girl in stride. She was great with communication before and during the stay. Melissa checked in daily with photos and reports of our girls behavior and progress. We brought her home tired out and thats pretty hard to do with a 9 month old bloodhound. We appreciate Melissa and will definitely be using her again. 100% Recommend!!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years and have had pets my entire life, so being around animals is truly second nature to me. I also have my own fur babies, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals, and I’m experienced with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, so your pet will get plenty of attention and care not just quick visits. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine. feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean while you’re away.

“First time using Rover for an in-home option, and I wish I did earlier. Nicole was great, proactive, responsive, and truly cares. Your search is over, she is the answer.”

About: Being an only child I've always had a dog for a companion since I was young. I've had a Husky, German shepherd, and more recently a Labrador and currently a golden retriever puppy. My home never feels complete without a fur baby. Now that I have been fully remote i find myself with too much free time on my hands and Riley is dying to have a play mate. I am fully remote with access to a walking trail and dog park. We hit the trail every 4 hours for potty breaks and some fetch. I live in a quiet apartment so noises are not a problem. I do not sit more than one pet (aside from my dog). I like to keep a keen eye on the mischief.

“Marcus is wonderful! We have used him many times and he is always a great communicator. He leaves the house tidy and we can tell that the pups are well loved/taken care of when we’re gone!”

About: Let me provide your dog with a home away from home :) — I treat every pup like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, or just some snuggles, I try to match their personality and needs. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds — from high to low energy. I’m big on routines, communication, and making sure pet parents never feel out of the loop. You’ll always get updates and pictures so you can see how your pup’s doing. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is happy, cared for, and in good hands. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pup throughout the day. I can do multiple walks a day, stick to your preferred schedule, and give your dog lots of attention and playtime. I live in a very walk-friendly neighborhood with a large dog park, which is perfect for getting in some fresh air and exercise! I only board potty-trained dogs to keep things clean and comfortable for everyone. I do have a medium-sized crate available if you prefer your dog to have their own space at night instead of free roaming. My main priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. I make sure they get the care, love, and attention they need in a calm and comfortable environment.

“Chassidy was great! She was very attentive to my dogs and they were happy when I got home. She was so good - they didn’t miss me a bit.”

About: I've cared for a wide range of animals in my life; but mostly cats and dogs. I've grown up taking care of cats and dogs and I find it very easy and fun to work with them. I've raised kittens and puppies, as well as elderly animals. I have no issues with feeding, walking, or cleaning up after any animal. During the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, I have some time off from college and want to spend that extra time interacting with pets! I can work every day of the week and the weekend and can also do overnight care. I have a very reactive dog at my house that can be hard to control, but I'm able to get him on walks without escaping my grip. I'm stronger than I look! But I also treat animals with the utmost respect and kindness. I don't believe in negative reinforcement and I will treat your pet like royalty!

“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life since I was a kid. I love dogs and my whole family is very dog friendly. I currently have two of my own dogs, Blizzard my 5 year old Goldendoodle and Boomer my 8 year old Beagle. These guys are my best friends! Since rescuing my Goldendoodle Blizzard, I’ve also learned to bathe & groom him, a special skill that takes practice and patience. I work from home, so I am able to take care of the dogs and be very flexible with their walking, feeding and bathroom needs. At my house, dogs are welcome on the furniture and on the bed at night but I will respect other owners obedience/rules while caring for their dogs. We have a lot of the room in the house which even has a fun room with toy mountain, a collection of hundreds of dog toys that everyone is welcome to play with! I have a big backyard but it is not fenced in. Instead, I prefer to walk the dogs on leashes/leads or attach them to the dog-run line I have running across the backyard for playtime! I would love the opportunity to watch your dog(s) and can be flexible with short-term or long-term stays plus other accommodations. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own and give them a lot of love and care for their entire stay! I work from home, therefore I can accommodate many different types of schedules based on a dogs needs. Frequent walks, feeding or medication is no challenge throughout each day/night. Any dog who comes to stay with us will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Same goes if I am to come care for your dogs at your home. They will get plenty of love and attention with play-time and companionship!
