House Sitting in Lakeside

“Sherri went above and beyond for our fur babies while we were away. It’s truly hard for us to feel at ease when leaving them because they are like our kids, but we felt so comfortable with Sherri. She sent more updates and photos in the first evening than most sitters have sent us for whole trips! We are already planning to book Sherri again and would highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of all animals, big and small. I grew up with dogs and cats, and have barely had any time without one of the two. I grew up on a small farm and I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals. I work 5 hours a day and the rest I’ll be able to take care of your furry babies. I love spending time with animals, and it’s the best part of my day! I love playing with pets and providing them with some much needed cuddle time. I try and keep to their specific feeding schedules and potty schedules. They’ll be well taken care of!

“Kylee was an excellent communicator and very adaptable with what we needed. We had her booked for the day while we went to GNP, unfortunately there was a snafu with our air bnb and couldn’t go. We apologized to Kylee and ensured she still received the funds from Rover. We’re sure she would’ve been great!”

“Stephanie did an amazing job taking care, loving Reggie Rae. She provided pictures and updates on Reggie’s adventures/days with her dog Doc and her cat. I couldn’t have found a better sitter for Reggie Rae and I will definitely use her services again. Communication was outstanding!”

“Shayla was very concerned about Gus and wasn’t afraid to ask questions about his care. Our dog is used to being able to roam at his will which concerned her. He has trouble warming up to people but by second day he was happy to hang with her. She stuck in there!”

“Riley came through for us very last minute when we had a flight cancelled and took awesome care of our pugs! Would absolutely use again!!”

About: Hi, my name is Rasia. Thank you for taking the time and consideration to view my profile. I have had experience in all dog care for a little over sixteen years now. Spending half of my life helping raise puppies and my own dogs from the time I was three years old, up until now my love has grown nothing but stronger for them. A lot of individuals call me a “dog whisperer” simply because I have a great gift of animals behaving as well with me as they would with their own owners. In the past, I’ve had experiences ranging as far as caring for dogs with many medical issues going as far as to caring for one of my beloved dogs on hospice. Currently, I own two dogs. One is named Tipsí and the other is our newest addition Uisce. You can find all of their info as-well as photos below. The other dogs pictured in the photos are friends and families that I’ve had the great opportunity to help take care of. I’m very familiarized with different breeds, the dogs on my profile all being different. I specialize in bigger breeds like German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Mastiff's, etc. I love being able to give all dogs the love and nurturing they need, while also giving them the exercise and playtime they need. I hope that I can become part of your dogs life and do that for them too! I’m currently available part-time on weekday evenings and weekends all day, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am not able to have dogs at my residence, but I by all means am up to and willing to come to you! There is also the option of leaving and bringing the dog elsewhere to play. Whatever the owner is best comfortable with is what I go off of. I’m currently working full-time, but am available with notice given for full weekends and anytime after 7:00 PM on weekdays. I ask that I’m given at least a 24 hour notice, thank you! I trust that the owner gives me all of the information needed to know about said dog, I then use the information as well as knowledge I am told in to making it the best experience possible for your dog and your self as the owner.

About: My best friend as young kid was my dog. Matilda the Australian Shepard was by my side since the age of three as my partner in crime running around our house or yard and growing up my brother and I were always given the responsibility of our pet's care. That ran the gamut as we had a menagerie that required all sorts of different needs from checking the hermit crab's shell, taking our dog to 4-H obedience classes, feeding our parakeets, taking turns monitoring new born pups, and of course all the clean up that comes with having a pet. Taking good care of and being observant of what a pet is telling you has always been a big part of my life. I previously had my own sitting business in college and my clients ranged from a tabby cat that just needed fresh food and water in the mornings to a family of 7 chihuahuas some with special care needs, 3 cats and 2 rabbits. More recently I have had a lot of experience with my own senior dogs, administering medicines, and being mindful of how they move or may need extra time and TLC. I know every pet has their routine that is specific to them and that they rely on so I keep a "care card" on every pet with all the specifics in their care including emergency contact #'s including veterinary information I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule which allows for all sorts of care options for your pet. I can plan ahead for your pet care or feel free to check with me spur of the moment in case something comes up and I will do my best to help out. being mindful of every pet's different needs I think is a big part of safety for everyone. Knowing what makes the pet feel comfortable is very important as just knowing and being mindful that I would be initially a stranger and out of the pet's normal routine from it's family helping them feel safe and cared for will be top of mind for me. I know every pet has their routine that is specific to them and that they rely on so I keep a "care card" on every pet with all the specifics in their care including emergency contact number's including veterinary information

With a heart full of love for all our furry friends, I cannot wait to embark on exciting adventures with your beloved canine companion. My journey as a dog walker began years ago when I discovered my deep-rooted connection with animals. Growing up surrounded by pets, I quickly realized that spending time with dogs brought me unparalleled joy and fulfillment. From that moment on, I knew that my purpose in life was to provide exceptional care and support to our four-legged friends. When it comes to my dog walking philosophy, I believe in nurturing not only physical well-being but also emotional happiness for our furry pals.

I am also experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring that even the most timid or boisterous canines feel secure and comfortable throughout our walks. In addition to the physical exercise aspect, I strongly believe in the power of mental stimulation for dogs. I incorporate engaging activities, such as interactive games and puzzle toys, to keep their minds sharp and active. Whether it's sniffing out hidden treats or practicing basic obedience commands, I'm always on the lookout for opportunities to make our time together both fun and mentally enriching. Above all, I strive to build trusting relationships not only with the dogs I walk but also with their human companions. Open and transparent communication is key to providing the best care possible, and I am always available to discuss any concerns, requests, or special instructions you may have.

Train them and take them on adventures. When it comes to caring for pets in either my home or my client's home, I ensure that their well-being, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. The specific care provided may vary depending on the service I offer, so let's delve into both scenarios: Caring for pets in my home: If I offer services where pets stay with me, I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment that replicates a home-like atmosphere. Here's how I care for pets in my home: 1. Comfortable accommodations: I provide a cozy space for pets to relax, ensuring they have a comfortable bed or a designated area where they can unwind. 2. Regular feeding and hydration: I adhere to the feeding schedule provided by the pet owner and make sure fresh water is readily available at all times. Special dietary needs or medication administration will be strictly followed as instructed. 3. Exercise and playtime: I engage pets in stimulating activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. Whether it's playing fetch, going for walks, or enjoying interactive toys, I ensure they receive the exercise and mental stimulation they require. 4. Regular potty breaks and hygiene: I maintain a consistent bathroom schedule, taking pets outside for potty breaks. I also provide regular grooming, including brushing, bathing, and nail trims, if necessary. 5. Safety and supervision: I create a secure environment, free from potential hazards, and monitor pets closely to ensure their safety at all times. I supervise their interactions with other pets, if applicable, to ensure a peaceful and harmonious environment. Caring for pets in the client's home: If I offer services where I visit the client's home to care for their pets, my approach revolves around maintaining their routine and surroundings. Here's how I care for pets in their own homes: 1. Adhering to routines: I strive to follow the established routines provided by the pet owner, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions for their care. 2. Feeding and medication administration: I ensure pets receive their meals according to the provided schedule and administer any necessary medications as instructed. 3. Exercise and enrichment: I engage pets in physical activities tailored to their needs, whether it's going for walks, playing in the yard, or engaging in interactive play. I also provide mental stimulation through puzzles, toys, and positive reinforcement training. 4. Maintaining cleanliness: I keep the pet's living areas clean and tidy, including regular litter box cleaning for cats or ensuring a clean outdoor space for dogs. 5. Security and well-being: I make sure the home is secure during my visits, ensuring doors and windows are properly closed and locked. I also keep a watchful eye for any potential signs of distress or health issues in the pets and report any concerns to the owner promptly. Overall, my goal is to provide a loving and attentive environment, whether in my home or the client's home, ensuring that pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in every possible way.
