“Chase was fabulous. He took great care of our dog and home, and sent us so many wonderful photos. Having a dog sitter hasn't always been easy for our dog but Chase made it effortless. We will definitely utilize his services again. Peace of mind is priceless. Many thanks!”
About: Dogs are my great addiction. I've owned dogs and walked and trained them all my life, but until I settle into my next job, I can't have a dog of my own again, so I'm petsitting and walking dogs for extra “dog time.” I have trained dogs for decades and now I also walk dogs at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter. in the past, I assisted a vets, once in the mobile spay/neuter clinic in the Navajo Nation, and in a few other instances with wildlife rehab and injured animals. I kept all my own dogs into old age and love senior dogs. With my family I raised 2 litters of Shepherd puppies, and Ive fostered mothers and puppies at my home. I work part-time and online, and can fit my schedule around your dog, cat or housesitting needs. I'm an early riser and love to be outdoors in any weather so you never have to worry that your pet's schedule will be interrupted. Your home is as important to me as your animal family and both will receive loving care and attention from me. I've cared for many homes in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado and have excellent references from clients, neighbors and friends to share.
“Marissa did fantastic with our leonberger, Great Dane, and catahoula leopard dog! Our Dane suffers from a plethora of health issues making it difficult to get away. My husband and I felt very confident that she would take exceptional care of our Dane. She sent photos throughout the day and exercised the dogs regularly. We came back and she had done a fabulous job of picking up after herself in our home. I plan on using her again.”
About: What can I say, I love dogs!!! Iv'e been around dogs my whole life, beginning with my Husky that loved chaperoning me around our backyard when I was a baby. I'm very grateful to have the experience with a dog since youth! I was raised around other animals too, bunnies, mice, and hamsters. Lol but I bond especially well with dogs. I hope to make new memories with your pet if you choose me! I am flexible and willing to work around your dogs schedule and my own. We can work something out to meet both our needs of course. I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I can be available overnights if needed if you are going away on a trip.
“Emily did an excellent job caring for my doggos while I was away for the week! Leaving a newly homed 8 month-old pup and an older dog who was unexpectedly put on medication the day before my departure was almost enough for me to cancel the trip all together, but Emily made sure to provide lots of pictures and updates during her stay in the home and put my mind at ease during the trip. She was also very respectful of the house and a pleasure to communicate with. I would highly recommend Emily and look forward to rebooking her for any upcoming dog care needs :)”
“Many thanks to Danielle! She saved the day when I needed to make a surprise trip to Utah to bring home a new puppy. Tully was so happy with Danielle and Kiwi that I think he was sorry to see me home! Danielle is terrific, you couldn’t ask for better.”
“This is the second time Lydia has sat for us. We are so grateful for her care and love for our pups! She's sweet, attentive to details and a trustworthy person. Our dog ended up chewing some fabric and throwing up and she handled the situation in a way that didn't make us panic. Our flight got delayed and she offered to stay longer with our dogs. The house was sparkling clean. She's our number one sitter! Thank you Lydia ❤️”
“My puppy was happy and calm upon my return. Lynn did a great job caring for my puppy. In addition, her cat caught a mouse at my house! Lynn and her team went above and beyond the call of duty. ❤❤❤”
“Jean-Philippe stayed with our three pets for almost three weeks. He was very attentive and was able to devote much of his time to our animals, which was necessary for our high energy puppy. Everyone was very happy when we arrived home and our house was left spotless.”
About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 10. I’m a big dog lover and I’ve had three of my own at home and miss them dearly. I love to go on long walks or just play and chill. I’m a student but I’m basically free all week besides when I have class! I can also just hang out with your dog while I do homework. I have a front yard and a great space for taking dogs on a walk. I also have a room that fits a crate if that’s preferable!
“I really appreciated Misty responding to my request for house/pet sitting so promptly. I had a last minute travel change. David came to my house right away to introduce himself to me and my Tank and Chloe. They kept me updated via text and pics daily. I came home to a clean house and happy pets! What more could this girl ask for? I look forward to having them pet/house sit again soon. Thank you very much.”
About: Working at Chicago Dog Runner 24 years ago started my journey towards providing the most exceptional pet care. Since moving out of the city, I’ve expanded my sitting to include chickens, donkeys, ducks, and more! I’ve had lots of puppy and senior dog/cat experience as well. Also, I joined Therapaws Michigan almost 10 years ago, helping board and train therapy animals and it has been the absolute best experience. Being an EMT, I understand the importance of timely medication administration and can give injections as well as oral/topical medications. I take pride in communication and photo ops! Having special needs animals in my life, I take care in educating myself with pets behavioral and health concerns and am always open to any conversation and adjustments regarding your pet’s care. Working from home I have a very flexible schedule and can follow your pet routine as required. I’m able to adapt and change scheduling as needed. I have a reliable pet friendly vehicle with a ramp for senior pup access. I believe keeping your pet’s schedule consistent is important and helps keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Please share details about feeding and/or walking/potty times, I am happy to accommodate.
“Hannah was exceptional with my cat during her first housesitting. I could tell by the photos all was well at home. She kept in contact daily which was reassuring and was very respectful of all of my detailed kitty requests! Thank you Hannah for the kindness shown to Terra and the conscientious care of our home.”
“Elena was a great dog/house sitter! She and Rosa bonded immediately, and honestly it seemed like Rosa was bummed when we returned from our trip. I think she hoped Elena would be here for another day. Elena kept the place in great shape and helped take care of our tree watering; in addition to walking and snuggling with Rosa.”
“Amanda was great with our dogs. She made us feel very comfortable at the meet and greet with her questions re care, and listened to us drone on and on to how awesome our pets are...ha! She also was super helpful in dealing with one dog who has anxiety. We definitely will use her again. She was also responsive and helpful to our questions asnewcomers to Springfield.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life including Great Danes, cats, bunnies, gerbils, fish and have been dog and cat sitting professionally for three years. Recently I lived and worked on a thousand-acre farm caring for cows, horses and goats, doing everything from feeding, cleaning and even bottle feeding. Bottom line is I love pets, and would love to meet your four-legged family members!! I currently work from my computer so I am very mobile and happy to be flexible with scheduling, etc. I love spending time with all animals so I make it a priority to fit this kind of work in. *If you have multiple pets and my site is quoting a large number for your sitting request, please know I am happy to look closer and find a good price for all! If I am giving care at your home my number one priority is your animal’s safety. That’s best implemented by focusing on your (the owner’s) rules and daily routines. Once I establish that, I focus on creating a special bond with your pet—it’s like they’re getting a new friend. If I’m boarding at my house my number one priority is to create a new and special routine that reflects their home routine but with new special elements. I have a very large yard and a safe neighborhood to take pets on walks, and as long as they are happy sharing space with a cat we have a really good time!
