House Sitting Kingsland

About: Hi! I’m Stephanie, a dedicated pet lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. Friends and family have trusted me for years to pet sit, whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just giving their pets the love and attention they deserve. I’m a proud dog mom to both a German Shepherd and a Belgian Malinois, so I’m very comfortable with large, strong, and high-energy dogs. I understand their need for structure, exercise, and mental stimulation—and I’m always happy to keep up! I also have plenty of experience with puppies and know how important it is to be patient, consistent, and attentive to their unique personalities. My experience doesn’t stop with dogs and cats—I’ve also cared for a variety of exotic pets, including fish, bunnies, turtles, geckos, birds, and bearded dragons. I’m confident and comfortable providing care for all kinds of animals. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! As a stay-at-home dog mom, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to give your pet the time and attention they need. I also have a reliable vehicle, so I’m dependable and able to accommodate your needs. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like family. I’ll follow your routines closely to keep things consistent and stress-free, and your pet will get lots of love, playtime, and attention. I also make sure to keep you updated so you always feel connected while you’re away.

“Austin did a wonderful job of taking care of our babies for a week. Communicative and caring. We appreciate her very much.”

About: Like most, I have had dogs my entire life. I have raised them from as little as 6 weeks old, all the way up to the elderly hospice ages. I have raised multiple huskies (very strong pullers), great danes even little pocket sized pups. While fun and stimulation are key to a dogs growth, during my stays/ walks safety is the primary goal. That means minimal or no street crossing if possible during walks, no dog parks, no interactions with other dogs or people (even if they say they know your dog); you will get your dog back exactly how you left them, happy and in perfect health. I am currently working full-time. I have full availability weekends, early weekdatys and nights. If you have any questions, concerns or just anything you would like to go over feel free to reach out. While I have my own way and preferences on how to take care of a pet. Upon meeting I will walk you through my process and everything I will be doing. As the owner, your preferences and style will be given priority over mine during my stay.

“This is the first time we had Taylor stay at our house to sit our two big dogs and cat. We can’t recommend her enough! She is confident and the dogs took to her right away. Reggie is a Great Pyrenees and takes a little time to warm up to strangers. She was very responsive and sent us photos and videos several times a day. The house and yard were spotless. We will definitely ask Taylor to come back, when we travel again!”

“Carrie was an absolute blessing caring for us and our 5 dogs while were were out of the country for our wedding. She is so organized, caring, and attentive to all our pets taking away all the stress of leaving our fur-babies for more than a week. She played with each of them, walked them, took them to the river to swim, snuggled the puppies, bathed them, and even cleaned the house to make it nice for us when we arrived home. She went over and beyond in every way which showed her dedication and love for animals. We will definitely use her many more times in the future and I highly recommend her to all families looking for honest, loyal care for their pets.”

Just as if I was at a guest house with car, and honorably. No visitors and keep things as they were, and give the animals extra love till there parents are back.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Mona! She was on time, attentive, and professional, and she made us feel completely comfortable knowing our fur babies, Ziggy and Rooster, were in such good hands. Mona kept us updated throughout her time with them, which we really appreciated. The best part is that Ziggy and Rooster absolutely loved her! It’s such a relief to find someone who genuinely cares for our dogs, and we would highly recommend Mona to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️”

About: As a lifelong pet owner and caretaker of animals, I love the opportunity to meet new furry friends! I have worked with my family to train all of our dogs and cats while having them be a part of the family! I’m currently working full time but spend plenty of time with my fur baby to make sure she’s taken care of and happy. I ensure that your fur baby is treated like my own and every animal I come into contact with is taken care of to the highest degree!

“This was the first time Lindsay stayed over and watched our boys. She was very responsive and sent updates and pictures especially with our older Bo being afraid of the storms. I had piece of mind that he was well taken care of. Lindsay kept our house very clean. We have her booked for several future visits. Thanks you very much for taking care of our Bobo and Oliver!! We appreciate you!!”

About: With over six years of hands-on experience working with dogs and their families, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. My goal is to provide compassionate, dependable care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners complete peace of mind. My experience includes caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs and those who need extra patience and attention. I believe in using positive, calm interactions to build trust and help every dog feel secure. Whether I’m taking your dog on a walk, providing drop-in visits, or caring for them while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I pay close attention to routines, exercise, feeding schedules, medications, and the little details that help pets feel at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, photos, and the confidence that your pet is receiving attentive, loving care every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time so I am available to work with and care for your pets. Also, available on weekends at any time of the day. I have Dog Training experience for 6 years so I know how to help work with your dog on enforcing positive basic commands and help prevent unwanted behavior including anxiety.

About: Your pet(s) will be treated and cared for like family, and the environment is calming, secure, and quiet to assist with comfort and boarding stay. I'm currently part-time; however, I can make adjustments as necessary and can board daily and on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. We can discuss the details of the care for your fur baby at the meet and greet. Have a fenced-in yard at home with a security system. Located around animal treatment/medical facilities. I have a 5-year-old German Shepherd who is calm and well-trained.

About: I am a local college student with a focus on Early Childhood Education. Animals have been my safe space for as long as I can remember. I have two dogs and a bearded dragon that I consider my family. We love to go for walks and play outside in the sunshine! I am happy to assist with any of your pet needs as my schedule is very flexible! I am a full-time college student and currently only have classes on Tuesday and Thursday. Even with classes two days out of the week, my days/evenings are flexible. I have a fenced in yard and the dogs and I enjoy getting outside to sit in the sun and throw the ball. I also enjoy taking my bearded dragon outside for some natural basking. The dogs and I go for daily walks and we have our daily routine feedings. Baths are given every one to two weeks (depending on how stinky they are).

About: I have a Frenchie. I have six years of experience with the world’s most neediest pups. I am more than equipped to take care of your fur baby. I am currently active duty military stationed at Moody Air Force Base. Here for anywho wants to leave town for the weekend and not have to worry about their fur babies . I feed my babies natural food, walk them daily, give them overwhelming love, make sure they are comfortable in my home and make sure they are content overall.

About: Caring for animals has always been something that brings me genuine joy. I’ve had hands-on experience raising my own dog, fostering dogs in need while in Puerto Rico, and caring for my sister-in-law’s dog whenever she’s away. I’m patient, attentive, and understanding that every dog has their own personality and needs. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same love and care I would give my own! I work online from home, which gives me a flexible daily and weekly schedule to fit pet care into my routine. I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving both cats and dogs the attention and companionship they need. I enjoy being around animals because they bring me so much joy and have a calming effect on me, making my days better. Caring for pets is something I genuinely love, and I enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention and affection. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to respect each animal’s personality, needs, and boundaries. I want every pet to feel at ease while their family is away, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their furry family members are in caring hands.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats through pet sitting for friends and family. I have done check ins as well as overnight stays. I understand the importance of maintaining each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, potty breaks, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pet.

“It was very evident how well Ashley took care of our little ones and home during her stay! We were gone for around 4 full days and got pictures with updates daily! She also left a little personal note with something she noticed I liked! We will be hoping to use her for upcoming trips again!!”

About: I truly feel that it is my duty to ensure the happiness and safety of each pet in my care. I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind each and every day that I spend with your pet. Because I am aware of how much pets contribute to our lives, it is my responsibility to ensure that your pet receives the same level of affection and care as they do at home. Even though I've been an animal lover all my life, my experience with dogs is much more extensive than that. Because I love dogs so much, making them as happy as possible is second nature to me. I've worked in cat and dog boarding and daycare for more than ten years. I've worked with hundreds of dogs and wouldn't change it for the world! I have loved and cared for all sizes of dogs, animals with special needs and pets in need of injections or oral medications also Seniors and declining. When acquiring a new customer, usually I like to arrange a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure we're all a good match, which is very important to me. Also, it gives us a chance to talk face-to-face about your expectations for your dog's care. Since you know your dog better than anyone else, it's always fun to talk to owners in person about what makes him or her tail wag. Finally. I adore getting to know new dogs and demonstrate I am a welcome presence and I am here to make friends. My everyday availability is twenty- four hours a day and seven days a week unless i update my calendar because i am completely booked with pets. In my home - No pets allowed on beds, fenced yard, non-smoking household, walks every few hours in owners home - walks every few hours, overnight boarding available

“Cathryn is wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Lucy who is highly energetic. She kept us updated with pictures each day and was accommodating when things popped up. This was our first time using rover after changing dog sitters and I’m so thankful we found her!”

About: What sets me apart from many sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my ability to genuinely connect with them quickly — especially pets who may be anxious, shy, older, highly attached to their owners, or simply used to lots of companionship and attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for foster litters of puppies and kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and weight tracking alongside my best friend, who is a veterinarian. I also have veterinary technician and shelter experience, along with hands-on experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, reinforcing basic puppy training, and supporting animals with special routines, anxieties, or medical needs. I’m currently working with one of my own dogs in service dog training, and I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who previously worked with pre-K children with autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Both experiences have strengthened my understanding of behavioral reinforcement, nonverbal communication, patience, routine, trust-building, and adapting to different personalities and emotional needs. In many ways, both children and animals communicate heavily through energy, body language, consistency, and feeling emotionally safe, and I’ve found those skills help me connect especially well with animals of all temperaments. I’m also an avid walker and love spending time outdoors, taking long walks through the beautiful Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, local parks, and nearby green spaces — especially when the weather cools down a bit. For more active dogs, I genuinely enjoy playtime, walks, fetch, and engagement throughout the day, while calmer pets usually find me just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a peaceful environment. Because I operate my design company remotely and on my own schedule, I’m often able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, supervision, structure, affection, and a calming presence throughout the day and overnight — not just quick drop-ins. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Because I own and operate my own boutique design firm, my schedule is highly flexible and allows me to work remotely from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. I’m also involved in tween mentorship and creative consulting, both of which I manage on my own schedule, making it easy for me to prioritize the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I’m naturally both an early riser and a night owl, so I’m available for early morning feedings and walks, late-night potty breaks, overnight companionship, medication schedules, and pets who simply feel more secure having someone nearby throughout the day and evening. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy the companionship, structure, and calm presence animals bring. Whether I’m working quietly from my laptop while keeping your pet company, taking breaks for walks and playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I’m able to give pets far more presence and consistency than many traditional sitters with rigid work schedules. Safety, trust, and creating a calm environment are extremely important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have two friendly small dogs and cats of my own, so pets staying in my home should be comfortable around other animals and able to coexist peacefully. Our pets are very much part of the family and are welcome on furniture and beds, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, routines, and boundaries, and I take introductions, feeding, supervision, and transitions seriously to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. If a pet prefers to be crated or separated at times, I’m happy to accommodate those needs as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m highly respectful of routines, security, cleanliness, and household expectations. As a longtime homeowner and business owner myself, I understand the level of trust involved when someone gives access to both their beloved pets and their home. I’m conscientious about alarms, locked doors, medications, feeding schedules, potty routines, cleanliness, and communication. Because I work remotely from home in the Avondale area, I’m also able to provide a high level of flexibility, supervision, companionship, and overnight presence for pets who are used to having someone nearby throughout the day.
