House Sitting in Lacota

About: As much as we want to bring our pets everywhere with us sometimes, we can’t. But that shouldn’t mean your pet isn’t living their best life possible. I can check in on your pet for some company, pets and play time, treats, meals, water, and a walk. I can also do anything else they may need. My goal is to give your pet a better day and give you a peace of mind knowing your pet is happy. I grew up on a farm with all animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, and horses. I was in a dog club growing up and learned basic dog training skills. Over the years I’ve cared for puppies and senior dogs needing special assistance and medications. I’ve helped care for multiple animals and hope to have the opportunity to care for yours too. I’m working part time in (human) healthcare. As much as I love people, I want to spend more time with animals on my days off. I work every Monday and Wednesday and am busy Saturday most of the time. My schedule changes once in a while but this is the general availability. I am mostly available morning and afternoon until about 3pm. Please ask for any specific times though anytime and I’ll see if it ends up working out. Thanks! 😊 My goal is to make sure your dog is as well cared for as if you were there yourself. I can do what you request. I can feed, water, potty break, medication administration, play time and pets, or go for a walk. I can leave them out or crate when I leave.

“Anissa was an AMAZING dog/house sitter. She was super communicative about the good and the bad. (Unfortunately my dog had an allergy flare up while I was gone and she noticed it immediately and let me know. She even researched some over the counter treatments and purchased the meds and administered them for me!) I really felt like she was in tune with my dogs and paid super close attention to their well being. Not only was she excellent to my dogs, I came home to an immaculate home. It was cleaner than it was when I left! She took such good care of my home, plants, and belongings. I will 100% have Anissa back the next time I'm out of town! THANK YOU ANISSA <3!”

“Troy did a fantastic job sitting for our Golden Retriever, Dory, while we were away for the weekend. He also took care of feeding the fish in our aquarium and attending to a few household items that went above and beyond what we expected him to do. So glad to have Troy on call through Rover to help with our pet sitting needs.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years. From living with them as a child, to having my furbabies for 14 years and caring for family and friends animals while they were away for work or long trips. I have experience with large dogs, small dogs and everything in between, cats, horses, rats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, fox and even a hedge hog. I’m passionate about cuddling our fur legged friends and since mine passed recently, I desire to assist in care for others’ animals before becoming a dog mom again in the future. I’ll come stay with your puppers and keep your home safe. I’m a seasonal worker at a concert venue and gig performer of circus arts so my summer work has finished for the year. I have great flexibility between dog sitting and my 1-2 twice a week job being a home assistant (where I also dog /homesit for the owner 3-4 times a year.) I’d love to add your animals to my schedule. I do not have a set schedule so let’s chat about your animals needs. I can do overnight stays and week+ stays at a time. The longer time I get with an animal, the stronger bond we share. I follow client wishes as each home is different. Some animals have food readily accessible while others require special food needs at specific times, some want their animal walked while others allow them to roam the yard. I have some dog training experience as I had my dogs trained, a big protective boy and small nippy gal. 14 years together until, 6 weeks apart, an accident with my girl while I was on a trip out of town and old age took my boy. They were my entire world. I’m a helicopter dog mom and I wont be different with yours. I can’t risk them being unsafe in my care. When they go out, I go out with them every time. I set alarms for medication and have always been successful with administering meds or vitamins when needed. I will love them as they are mine. Animals bring me joy and make living rewarding but best of all, full of love.

About: I pay close attention to each dog’s unique personality and needs — from high-energy adventurers who love long walks to gentle souls who just want cuddles and calm company. You can count on me for dependable communication, updates, and plenty of photos so you always feel connected and at ease. I’m currently working part time as a babysitter so my schedule is quite flexible. Tuesdays are taken up but outside of that I’m very flexible! I have a dog friendly home with an open back yard. All dogs will be leashed at all times whether in your home or mine. Dogs in my home are dog friendly as well!

About: 10 years dog owner and lifetime cat owner. Very patient and caring with animals. Good at following instructions if special care is needed. Not scared of large dogs. I work part time from home so my schedule is pretty flexible when it comes to pet sitting walks or what ever the job requires. I have two large dogs Rottweiler and Pitt Rottweiler mix and three cats. Dogs are cat friendly. Large yard and crate is available upon request if needed.

“Lexie took such great care of my pets while we were away! Even my shy cats came out to let her pet them because she made them so comfortable. She also sent pics of my dog each day. Thanks!”

About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. My dad used to help help run a rescue for several years, and we had many dogs of varying breeds and ages in our home. I currently have one dog named Alvin who was born in 2022. He is a yellow lab with a lot of energy! I am venturing into the working world, and this is my only role. My availability is wide open and I'm willing to help when needed! I have a small fenced in area under our deck where my dog relieves himself. I go for walks and there is a dog park very close to the house. My dog has extreme crate anxiety, so he isn't created. I am comfortable helping to ensure your pet is created as necessary.

“Our first time ever using Rover or a pup sitter. Great communication, punctual, sweet, Whiskie was happy to have her in our home. We will be using Sydney again soon.”

About: I’ve lived with and taken care of animals my entire life and I hope to continue! I have my own border collie who’s just about 10 months old and I’ve trained her since she was a puppy! I’m currently working full-time but can freely help during all weekends. Me and my own pup have a set schedule that we follow through to have her meals and exercise! I have a border collie who loves to run about. I enjoy playing and giving her all the exercise she needs and can do the same for other furry friends!

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from farm animals to indoor pets, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 reptiles of my own, so daily animal care is already a big part of my life. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, playtime, walks, administering routine care, potty breaks, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and treated like family while in my care. I work full-time as a dental assistant Monday–Thursday, but I’m available before and after work and have full availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I make pet care a priority and can provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and care to ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved while with me. I provide a safe, loving environment and follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of attention to keep them comfortable and happy.

“Very responsive flexible and sent pics of my baby girl daily”

Willing to dispense a variety of basic/common medications. Experienced and comfortable working with reactive dogs (all sizes). Potty training puppies welcome. Multi-dog/animal households welcome. I only use positive and/or cooroperative care methods. I am NOT willing to utilize prong or electric shock collars. Please do not attempt to book me if your dogs requires the use of either. I live in a multi-dog home, including several 80+lbs pitbulls, huskies, and 6lb chihuahuas. I have been caring for a variety of animals since a very young age and have owned dogs my entire adult life. I have fostered and provided services for other dog owners for 12-15 years on and off. I work full time with a fairly flexible schedule, that often allows me to squeeze in short services with limited notice. I drive quite a bit for work, often visiting several different towns in and around Allegan County throughout the day. Overnight care MUST have at least one week notice. I am happy to follow a relaxed or detailed schedule for your furbabies. I will document any behaviors or activities requested (within reason). All animals in my care will be treated as lovingly and attentively as I would expect my own to be.

About: I have experience caring for animals and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping up with each dog’s normal routine. I understand every dog has a different personality and energy level, and I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give them the care and attention they need. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. I’m currently working around 30 hours a week. I work right down town in Saint Joesph Michigan. My schedule is very flexible. I work between five and six hour shifts. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I care for pets in their own home based on their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m Jeff I currently have 8yo black/white male Husky named Thorik and a 5yo red/white female Husky named Willow. Willow is actually my sisters dog and stays with her, but her and Thorik are together every day out at our family’s place. They are both well balanced dogs and will get along with anyone who decides to come for a visit. They will kiss you to death though so be prepared! I live on my family’s 180 acre old farm in the country just outside of the Otsego/Alamo area. I am out there every single day, especially in the Summer months, so that Thorik has a safe place to play and swim if he wants. Should you decide to book with me, and with your permission, your pets can enjoy unlimited fenced in yard time along with as much swimming as they’d like! I currently work for a Petcare provider here in Kalamazoo. My week consist of multiple visits for multiple clients a day, this does however allow me plenty of time throughout the day to return home and take care of anything I need to, your pets included! Out at the farm I do have a fenced in backyard away from the road that provides the dogs, a safe, secure place to play. Any time the dogs are not outside playing, or they are at my apartment in the evenings, they are inside the house with me free to do as they please.
