Pet Sitting in Lakeside

“Jynna has been my favorite sitter. We’ve never met but in the pictures she sends, I can tell she gives my babies attention and great care. My big boy always looks happy with her.”

“Hannah did amazing with our dogs. She was either on time or early every time to go let them out and took very good care of them. She kept me updated every time she went over there and if she wasn’t sure about something instead of just doing it, she asked me what I would do which I really really appreciated. If you have the opportunity definitely book with her she’s amazing.”

About: I am a college student with free time to walk your dogs or let them out during the day! I have a dog of my own and have had many in the past to train and take care of! I am currently a college student so this will be perfect for me to fit into my current class schedule and be very available! I have three week days off a week and can work things around my class schedule I have three dogs at home so I’m home care is not available for me. But I would love to be able to take care of your pets in the comfort of your home where they are the most comfortable and used to the environment!

“Our Daisy fell in love with Emily the minute she walked in the door. I knew my fury friends would be in great hands and they were. I will definitely rebook with Emily.”

About: Choose me as your dog sitter for 23 years’ experience, EMT training, CPR certification, and true animal devotion, providing safe, dependable, loving care every single time. As a self-employed worker, I set my own hours, giving me the flexibility to provide pets consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day and night. I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine, monitoring their behavior, and keeping spaces clean. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent communication, and a calm, comfortable environment.

About: I’ve always been a dog lover and grew up taking care of, training, and of course loving my family dog, Potter. I have three years of pet sitting and dog walking experience but well over a decade of experience if you count Potter! I also have volunteer experience at the SPCA and Humane Society with both dogs and cats. I know how stressful it can be to find the right person to trust with taking care of your fur baby when you’re gone away or even out of the house for long hours during the day, and I pride myself on always providing the best care I possibly can from sending lots of photos and updates to following all of the sometimes silly and seemingly overcomplicated little rituals and routines your baby is used to doing when you’re home with them! I’m a professional ballet dancer and currently in my summer “off season” so my schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate whatever works best for you and your pets! I always like to do an in person introduction with you and your pets so I’m able to get to know exactly how you guys like do things, and of course to get to know your fur baby so I’m not a total stranger when I’m looking after them while you’re away! I have first hand experience with good and bad pet sitters for my own fur babies so it’s really important to me that both you and your pets are comfortable and feel confident with me before I take care of them!

About: Experience, responsible, caring. I will send pics, respond and give updates. You will not be disappointed in my care for your pet while away. Thank you, Stephanie I work 4 days a week full time and can drop by your home during my hr lunch break and after work plus my days off. I will keep you updated along the way with pics and messages. Your fur babies will be cared for and safe. I will make sure they are fed, walked or played with, loved on. Meds taken when needed and environment looked over to insure safe. Your home and pets will be secured and cared for loving and properly. No worries is my goal.

About: 🌴 WHO WILL HAVE A BETTER VACATION YOU OR YOUR PUP? 🚤 📸 Here at DOODS ON DOCKS they will have a great staycation on our beautiful lake property. Enjoy your vacation knowing your dog will be as happy as you are over the holidays or your time away. With my services you get what you pay for. Your dog is a family member. They are not left outside, or in a kennel. They're a part of our home. They sleep with us and do everything we do. I have 30 years experience working with dogs through volunteering and fostering thru the Humane Society and Rescues. I'm very dog savey and most dogs realize I am the pack leader and rely on me for that. I have clients that have senior dogs that require meds, and personal care. This is not a problem. What sets me apart from most pet sitters is that I go above and beyond for the pups. Someone is home 90% of the time. I have had clients that have been with me for many years. At my house you get what you pay for and more. It looks easy and fun on my part however, there’s alot that goes into it besides all the scooping….. Starting with reservations. I always have a free meet and greet. I consider all the dogs I will be having at that time to see if all my guests will enjoy their experience, and how I need to accommodate them. As they arrive, and while they’re here I still study each personality to see who can play together and who would rather just “stay out of it”. Since the dogs live in the house like my own pets, I want to make sure everyone is happy. No dog is crated or kenneled unless that is what the dog requires. There’s outside play time at least twice a day. Which might involve chasing a ball, squirrel, duck, or swimming in the lake, or lounging in the sun. If you need a staycation for your pet where they will come home exhausted and happy, let me know. 1. I can pick up and deliver your pup if needed for an extra fee. 2. I live on the lake. 3. I can also bath and do light grooming if needed including nails. 4. 📸 But the most important thing is that pictures and communication cell 📱 📞 with the pups parents are sent many times a day so that you know your dog is safe, and basically having a blast here at my house. We live on the lake so there's lots of room to run and play, however we do have a dog area with a doggie door so they can come and go. All dogs live inside with us and sleep in our room if they want to. My family works from home so someone is here most of the time. My personal dogs are use to having dogs visit us at home and it's never an issue. All dogs are treated like our own and loved. Their needs are always accommodated so that their parents can feel assured that they are well taken care of without any worries while they are gone. I have a doggie area that is large that the dogs can use with a doggie door. This area also has our hot tub so they often play outside or "talk" to us while we use the hot tub. I have a large back yard that the dogs can enjoy while we are there to supervise them. Dogs are not left unattended in the back yard. I live on a quiet one way street with neighbors only to the left and right of me. We all know each others dogs and can identify them.

“Abigail took fantastic care of my animals while I was out of town. She communicated well so I always knew how they were doing. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“Jaime did a great job with our dog and cat, especially our dog who is very scared of strangers. Jaime clearly has lots of experience with dogs and knew just what to do to make Georgia feel comfortable. We'd definitely book him again for future trips.”

About: I’ve always been around dogs my entire life and had many puppies I’ve had to taken care of and nurture after. I absolutely love dogs and all animals in general, a little more than humans, lol. This is a new account for myself but I have dog sitter multiple times with my mom for her clients and helped her out, so I am not new to this. I’m good with training and disciplining dogs, especially with behavior correction. I understand how to handle dogs of all natures, including puppies and senior dogs, dogs with different and special needs, and dogs that love attention. Professionally sitting other people’s dogs, I have about 3 years of experience but in general, dogs have always been apart of my life! As of now, I am currently unemployed as I am trying to get into my local police department. In the meantime, I would like to make some extra money and do so by doing the thing I love to care for most, animals and dogs! If you crate your dog, that will be done. If you want your dog out but need certain things done before hand, done. The safety of your animals are super important to me and making sure they are taken care of is top priority!!

About: I’ve had 5 dogs over the span of 20 years, and I have taken care of and loved every one! I have also worked at an animal shelter, so I understand how to develop a kind relationship with a dog and take care of them! I’m willing to walk any day of the week, from 8 am to 10 pm. Feel free to contact me at any point if your loved one needs a walk! I have much experience making sure dogs are well-behaved inside a house- whether it be making sure they stay off furniture, go outside to potty, or don’t knock over valuable items, I can ensure your dog and household will be safe.

About: Hello! Liam and Sierra will be taking care of your furry family!! Sierra grew up on a farm and loves all 4 legged friends. Liam grew up with dogs his whole life! We love all dogs and show that by showing them a safe but loving, great time! Last year Liam and I fostered 14 dogs from bottle babies to seniors, so we are educated on all types. And now we have a large fenced in yard that dogs can run full speed in!! We also have an air conditioned sunroom that they can chill, drink water, and relax until ready to run again! The yard also has several mature trees so it’s very shaded! A doggie paradise! We are currently working on adding a doggie pool so they can cool off in the summer! My husband and I will be team working watching your pets! There will almost always be someone around to be there. We will always have them play before their breakfast. Then nap time for their belly’s to digest! Midday potty and play break. Then cool down. Then back to playing then eating! And for overnight potty breaks before bed! I have a large fenced in yard, and two friendly dogs myself! They are more than welcome to play or be separated! We have built in wooden crates here that are 6 feet by 3 feet they can lounge in or you can bring yours! However you prefer we will accommodate your pets needs! Our first priority is safety, and next your pet having a fun time!

“Kendal is great and my boys love her! Easy to get ahold of and super reliable! 🤍”
