House Sitting Lake Pleasant

About: I have worked at boarding facilities and doggy day cares for two years and I am very knowledgeable in safe pet care! I’ve had dogs in my life since I was born, and my mother is a professional dog trainer so I’ve picked up a lot of dog behavior knowledge along the way. I would love to put my time to use by watching your furry friends!! I will devote every second to giving them all the love they deserve. I am available for full time pet sitting, walks, or drop-ins whenever you need them! In my home we have one pup who is super spoiled. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and give them the love and care they deserve! My experience in professional pet care has provided me with extensive knowledge on pet behavior and needs, so you can trust that your four-legged-friend is safe with me!

“Michael was great watching Bonnie while we were out of town! He took great care of her and provided updates each day. The house was perfect when we got back and Bonnie was so chill. Will definitely be reaching out for his help again!”

“Lori’s service, taking care of my elderly cat, was remarkable. It became clear quite quickly that she was thinking of my cat’s welfare first and foremost. I’m inexperienced with having cat sitters staying the night in a house sitting capacity. Lori handled my cat’s needs as well as my general requests expertly - and I felt reassured. She exceeded my expectations, showing consideration by offering to do a task or two I hadn’t requested. All in all, she was lovely to work with. With Lori caring for my cat, I feel confident taking longer trips, knowing my cat will be so well looked after!”

About: Hi there! I have two wonderful kitties and have had a dog in the past. I love both dogs and cats but especially cats! I have lived with or spent time with consistently many different temperaments of cats! They tend to like me as I don't approach them other than to let them sniff me and then let them come to me on their own terms. One of my cats, Millie, is a rambunctious, food stealing, sprinting devil who is also incredibly sweet. Her sister, Tiny Mouse loves to sit on my partner and nudge your phone out of your hand. The dog I had in the past with my ex-partner was a senior dog, so I do have experience with small, senior dogs. We did a lot of damage control as she got older with puppy pads, meds, letting her lead the way but helping her with walks, etc. I have lived with a large dog for several years in the past, as well as multiple cats. I have had to give meds to cats, dogs and I also have had rabbits! I LOVE rabbits and other small animals, both on the larger side and note. We had to give one of our bunnies meds through an injection in his neck, and I used to be a medical assistant so I can do injections for meds and give meds, etc. I work 9am-5pm with flexibility. Usually I can be somewhere by 5pm as long as I have a heads up! Between 7:30-9 am is best, but usually I can make things work. The weekends I’m pretty open! Just check in with me and we can figure something out. I am super careful with dogs and always make sure I have an understanding of if they need tight leash control, can be off lease or will walk next to me! I like to understand what their routine is for walks, snacks etc. before I sit to make them as comfortable with me as possible! Cats I usually just make sure they don't get stuck in a closet somewhere (both of my cats sleep in our closets) or if they're an escape artist that they don't flee!!

“Lauren did a fine job of house sitting with our very active dog Maggie. She showed compassion and kindness and our house was spotless when we got home….”

“Jaclyn knows the many moods and temperaments of dogs. Under the extraordinary confusion of a major home renovation project, she was able to settle our rescued pup upon arrival. We appreciated her excellent questions, skill, patience and forthright approach to leading him towards full exercise, calm homecomings and lots of fun in between. Thank you, Jaclyn!”

“Iví was incredible. She was very sweet and took great care of our pets and our home during a weekend stay. We came home to a clean, tidy home and two very relaxed, happy dogs. Iví also provided updates and made sure to let us know how the pups were doing during their stay. We would absolutely hire Iví again.”

About: Ive been caring for pets for many years. I had a dog walking business over a decade ago. We taken care of our own and others elderly dogs. We like taking dogs on long off leash walks in groups if possible. Dogs are always welcome to cuddle up on the furniture. Im a stay at home-mom, homeschooling. We go to play groups and trips but we can plan our day around dog walks. We take the dogs out first thing in the morning on leash as our yard isnt fenced. We are happy to come feed kitties and water plants. We love taking dogs out on walks and caring for them in our home. We love going on long walks mid day out in nature

“I felt great leaving my cat Frances under Maggie's care. She was thorough, attentive, communicative, and friendly. And her love of animals is very apparent! I would definitely book her again.”

About: Growing up, my family dog was epileptic and required a lot of serious attention. Since then, I have watched dogs and cats for weeks during friends and family’s vacations. I currently work a flexible schedule so I can be mostly available to walk your dogs I would just need a heads up on timing! I do attend school so my availability will be changing once the year begins. I can make your dog feel safe and loved while you are away. I can also make sure they get enough exercise as I love to walk and run!

“Kendra was professional, prompt, and communicative. Our little pup took to her well, and she clearly enjoyed Kendra's company. Kendra was very conscientious regarding the house. I would recommend her highly.”

“Kiersten is very easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog, Luna. She sent me lots of pictures of their time together and was very flexible when our plans changed. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: Experienced pet-sitter with a widely flexible schedule available for any needs you may have for your pet! On top of pet-sitting and day trip/walking experience I have experience as an assistant groomer from working for The Green Groomer in Northampton, MA which you are welcome to get in touch with as a reference. I also worked at a Dog Daycare in the Boston area before moving to Western MA, where I was involved with many responsibilities surrounding the pups including providing their meals, pick-ups/drop-offs, de-escalation of conflict, and general moderation of behavior. Working in this field has granted me the opportunity to work with dogs of all temperaments, ages, and sizes and has taught me how to interact with pups from all walks of life. On top of that I have experience with bathing, nails, and ear cleanings from my time at the Green Groomer. My schedule is extremely flexible, with open availability during the week before 3PM, making check-ins during the work day hassle free, and my shift never getting out later than 10:30PM, so overnight boardings are still not a problem during my work week. I also have Friday-Sundays off so long weekend boardings are always an option. Please let me know in advance of any house rules for your pup (i.e furniture rules, dietary restrictions, routine scheduling) and I will be sure to follow them with the same consistency you would. In regards to boarding with me they would be boarded in a pet-free, smoke-free, child-free condo with a large unfenced yard in the back for leashed outings when needed!

“Sage was an excellent pet sitter every step of the way! She communicates well, took perfect care of our new puppy, and even sent pictures! I would recommend her highly to anyone.”

Wendy M.

“Bree was fantastic! She is definitely an animal person who connected with our dog immediately. She sent fun pictures that reassured us how happy he and our cat were and also let us know she was remembering his meds and walks. She left out place as clean or cleaner than when we left. She was very open to communication. We would recommend her to any and all!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life, dogs are more than just pets they are a big part of our families. I treat every animal like it is my own.

About: Hi I'm Alyssa! I've owned dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish all my life. I love to care for any and all animals when their owners are away because pets can get very anxious when home alone. I intend to relieve their anxiety and share a little love! I do have previous experience with walking multiple dogs in both urban and suburban residences as well as caring for multiple cat homes. I've also worked with all ages of pooches, everything from 2 months to 15 years old! I currently work part time overnights, so I am available for daytime drop-ins and overnight stays, as I would only be at work a couple days a week for a few hours. The safety of your pet(s) is of the utmost importance, including keeping the doors of your house securely closed, keeping your house clean, and focusing solely on your pet(s) during any outside time.

About: I have had 2 dogs for over 10 years now just recently one past away losing that connection has made me want to be able to be there for other dog's like I am to my own. I have pet sit for family friends when they attend vacations or work events. I currently work part-time, so I am available in the early mornings and afternoons. I work nights on Mondays and Wednesday but are usually out by 9pm. I have a dog and 2 cats, So I am not sure how my dog would react to another dog living in her home. I do have a crate and a yard to walk on leash but no fence to free roam.

About: Our family dog just moved out with my daughter, so my grandpuppy 😂. Thankfully he comes to stay regularly for extended visits! Most of my photos are of him, truly spoiled & loved. I’ve cared for animals most of my life. I’m available for walking, boarding, or checking in daily while you’re at work to feed or let out. Flexible availability, reliable and kind. I have very flexible availability for boarding, house sitting and checking in and walking. I only work 15-20 hours a week, so I’m home most of the time! Let me know your needs and I’m sure we can work something out that’s best for your pets needs. I have a smoke free, very tidy home. I live in a townhouse that is surrounded by woods and has close proximity to walking trails. You can provide a crate if needed for boarding. I will welcome gentle, people-friendly dogs, who are house & potty trained only. No overly dirty or muddy dogs please! Thanks for your understanding.
