House Sitting in Ladoga

“Amazing! She did a great job with our home and animals. We will be booking her again and again! She is kind and willing to do things for the animals as well as about to answer all and any of my questions.”

“Amber is absolutely wonderful! She came over a few days before her first shift to meet my dog which made me feel better! She was very attentive to my anxious baby and kept me updated at all day. We will definitely be using her in the future!”

Michaela D.

“Hannah did such a great job with our cat and dog. Our dog tends to be very skittish and afraid, and Hannah knew exactly how to handle him. Thank you Hannah and Rover for taking great care of our beloved pets!❤️”

“We had Bryanna stay at our house to watch our puppy for a few days. She did come by to meet us and Luna ahead of time to get to know Luna and her schedule. Bryanna did a great job with our puppy Luna. She communicated back and forth as well so we were able to know how things were going while we were away.”

“Kyndall was great with our dog. She gave us several updates amd pictures of him while we were gone. We'll definitely book her again when we have a trip.”

About: I have had a lifetime of loving and caring for animals. I hope you will consider me for this responsibility, as I am already practicing my cuddle skills. I am retired and have lots of time for you and your furry friends. I am, for the first time in my life, without a pet of my own. I have recently moved into an apartment with a no pet policy. Rover is a win win for me. I am capable of doing whatever needs doing to care for your pet. I am able to do all the feeding and cleaning up after them. I have also had to give medication to some.

About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was a kid—dogs, cats, fish, even a few oddballs—and I’ve loved them all. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m someone who truly enjoys spending time with animals and learning their personalities. I walk a lot and would love some furry (or feathery, or scaly!) friends to join me on my adventures. I’ve been walking my friends’ dogs for years just for fun, and figured—why not turn it into a side gig? I’m just getting started, but I’m excited to build a profile and a positive reputation in the community as someone pets (and their people!) can count on. I have my own aquarium and know a ton about fish tank care, so I’m great with aquatic pets too. The quirkier the animal, the more I’m into it! Whether your pet is a couch potato or a weirdo with a routine, I’ll meet them where they are. I’m also LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome all kinds of people and pets—kindness and respect are a big deal to me, on both ends of the leash. I work full-time Monday through Thursday on second shift, but I’m available for quick drop-ins before and after work (yes, even after 1am—for those late-night litter scoopings or fish feedings!). Fridays through Sundays, I’m wide open and fully available for your pet’s lounging, snacking, and playing needs. Whether it’s a moody cat, a chill lizard, small rodent or an aquarium that needs some TLC, I’m happy to work them into my routine—they make life better! I don’t care for pets in my own home, but I’m happy to pick up your pet and take them on safe walking adventures to nearby parks! I always prioritize your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine—whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer visit. I’m not a professional, but I truly care and I’m always willing to learn. I follow your instructions closely (meds, feeding, tank care, litter box scooping—whatever you need) and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I also keep you in the loop with updates and photos, so you always know your pet is happy and safe.

“Rita was amazing with my boys while my husband and I were away! Her experience in administering medications eased my mind. We have a young dog who requires a strict med schedule and she was on point in maintaining that schedule.”

About: I've grown up with dogs and once I lived on my own, soon adopted 3 cats. I've had several dogs and cats throughout my life, loving them as my children. Every animal I meet melts my heart in their own special way and I fall in love every time. I would be honored to care for your fur [or scale!] baby/ies! I currently work part time at petco in the evenings mostly. I do have my own animals, but find myself always wishing I had more. I have plenty of time and heart to give! I will feed your animal the directed amount in the directed time. I will play with your cat/dog several times throughout the day. For dogs, potty breaks every 2 hours minimum. And as many cuddles and hugs as they want!

“We had the pleasure of having Renee take care of our dogs overnight, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience! From the moment we met, we felt completely at ease knowing our furry friends were in good hands. Renee was punctual, responsible, and very attentive to our dog's needs. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which made us feel even more confident and reassured throughout the night. We would absolutely recommend Renee to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we look forward to having her sit for us again in the future!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with 2 husky mixes and 3 cats in my childhood home and I currently have 1 cattle dog and 2 cats. I also had the pleasure of house sitting for a few families consistently while they were away on vacations. I work early mornings so I have plenty of the daylight to spend time with your dogs! I’m available after 1pm to do daily walks, checks ins, and will have hours available for boarding. I have a fully fenced in yard and a 2 year old cattle dog that loves to make friends and play but also understands boundaries. I have a cat as well but I have a two story house so she can be separated from your dog if need be! I can easily crate your dog if needed as well. I am very flexible and accommodating to whatever your fur baby needs to feel comfortable and safe.

About: I've taken care of a wide variety of dogs, as well as have been involved in dog shows, AKC pedigree events, canine good citizen training, and am patient with dogs while being tolerant to their antics. I am pretty flexible as I can wake up early, take care over my lunch, and late at night as well as I stay up late. I am careful but easy going with pets. I follow details for feeding, hygiene, and medication if needed. I require a meet and greet before providing services, to ensure I can properly handle the needs of your pet, as well as your pet getting along with me -- as you never know who they may like or dislike -- and want to ensure safety and proper care is given. I will record details of feeding, hygiene and medication to ensure I am consistent on their needs.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 8 years old. It has always been a passion of mine. I would always walk the neighbors dog’s and my family always relied on me to take care of their animals . I absolutely love animals. I am a volunteer at the local Rescue Group. I occasionally foster dogs that come from New Mexico that were going to be euthanized for space. I am a dog owner that will love your pets like my own. I have been a owner and dog sitter for years. I am flexible and available to customize to your dogs needs. I offer long walks, feedings, and lots of love and company. My dogs Hudson and Sadie are my pride and joy. I spend a lot of time outside with them and inside enrichment toys and puzzles. Sadie is a Blue Heeler and she needs lots of mental stimulation. I also have a kitten named Oreo who thinks he is a dog. I work from home so I am home 90% of the time. Please feel free to message me and we can talk about your dogs needs. I can send you pictures throughout the stay if you would like as well. I am home 80% of the time. It is something I am passionate about and love. I also run a small business from home so never worry about your fur babies being alone. I have three dogs of my own so adding a few more to my daily routine makes it just a little more fun. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I have two of my own dogs to keep your animals active and playing. I do prefer the dog to be crated at night for their safety. I have an alarm system as well as outside video surveillance.

About: I have a deep love and understanding of pets coming from a lifetime of pet ownership and a "pet family" background. Having rescues has taught me many things and provided me with experiences working with food aggressive, animal aggressive, malnourished, and unhealthy animals. My dog has recently gone through extensive leg surgery allowing me to learn how to rehab and work with disabled pets. As a pet owner, I know that pets are family and treat them as so. I own a large breed dog so am familiar with working with pets over 100 pounds. I am a teacher which demonstrated my patience and compassion, even in difficult situations. Just as a teacher creates a positive learning environment for children, a calm and supportive atmosphere is created for pets. This patience is important when working with pets, particularly those who are shy, anxious, or have behavioral quirks. I can following instructions and adapt to each pet's routine, ensuring a seamless experience for pets and owners. As a teacher, I am done working by 3 pm allowing for lots of playtime and walks after school. I enjoy getting up early as well. Currently, I am on summer break so I have lots of flexibility. When pet owners leave, I understand the importance of routine and consistency for dogs. I am very good at following directions and can easily adapt my schedule to meet the needs of your pet— whatever that may be!

“Did great, just wanted some extra pics if the doggies!”

“Love Taya and Mike. I love that my pups had many other pups to play with all day. Excellent set up with fenced in area.”

“We were traveling from out of state and needed a dog sitter at the last minute. Finding Alexis felt like such a blessing. From the moment we met her, we could feel her warmth and genuine love for animals. She has such a kind, easygoing spirit that immediately put us — and our dog — at ease. We trusted her completely with both our pup and our RV, and it gave us such peace of mind. Thank you, Alexis, for being such a beautiful soul and for taking such wonderful care of our baby. We are so grateful our paths crossed, and we’ll absolutely reach out again whenever we’re back in the area!”

About: Grew up on a farm always enjoying the love and joy of dogs and cats! My house in the country has a big yard and family farm fields around it. I work from home so caring for your pet is easily done! Your pet would be able to go outside as needed and receive attention throughout the whole day! My 15 year old daughter and I spent our time caring for our 16 year old dog Pickles until she passed - feeding, walking, bathing, snuggling, and loving. We care for family's pets when needed and would treat yours as one of our own.

“She was absolutely incredible with our fur babies. Nya our Rottweiler was so good for her and she responded fast when I asked how things were going. I would definitely be booking with Katie again… thank you so much.”

About: I've had three black labs in my life, who have turned me into a dog obsessed human! When I attend social gatherings, I am usually found hanging out with the dog giving it some loving attention. When I was younger I walked my neighbors' dogs. One of these dogs was deaf and I learned different ways to communicate with him. I am friendly and compassionate and will provide your pet with warmth and snuggles while you are away! I work full time during the week, but evenings and most weekends I'm free to care for dogs. Whether your pup is looking for a quick walk, a mozy around the neighborhood, an active, engaging play session, or an overnighter- I will, with the occasional help of my labrador, Bella along with our dog friend, Frankie, make sure to keep your pup happy and occupied. I have a fenced in yard, a couple of friendly dogs of my own, and can crate your pup with their own crate, so please provide if crating is preferred. I prefer a meet and greet to ensure a good fit for your pup. That would look different depending on the service. Dog walking and House Sitting: I will meet you and your fur friend at your home - this will help establish trust and familiarity for the dog while you are there. At this point we can go over the safest entry into your home, routines for your pup, and any specific care requirements. Doggy Day Care and Boarding: You will meet at my home. Where I will bring my two dogs out to meet you and your pup (everybody leashed) and we can talk and sniff and ensure initial vibes are correct for everybody's safety. When we confirm that the dogs are showing no signs of threat/discomfort, we can move everybody into the gated area of our yard and let your dog off leash. We have lots of smells and space to roam about, so this should be an exciting little adventure for your friend. At this point you can share any specific care instructions and routines important to your dog's happiness.
