House Sitting in Lakeview

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life from small breeds like a corgi mix to a border collie and from raising puppies to full adult dogs, I have always been responsible for my family pets and I absolutely LOVE dogs. I currently have one dog right now that is a rescue :) I truly love being around dogs and understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I am currently off for summer from college as a Pre-med student in Idaho! I am always available for your furry pets at any time, whether that’s the weekend or the weekdays I am here for the full summer! I will always ensure your dog is safe, comforted, and well taken care for in your home. I treat others pets like they are my own. I strive to keep their routine as normal and stress- free as possible when you’re away! Whether this means walks, playtime, or cuddles, or simply giving them company, i’ll give them plenty of attention and love :)

“Larissa did AMAZING WORK! The animals loved her and were so well cared for. She house sat for us for a few days, I was so worried to trust anyone but she cared so much for my animals and took all the worry away with her constant updates and photos. I highly recommend her.”

“I’m so happy we had Maria to take care of our Cane Corso. She stay in communication with me and kept me updated with pictures of “our baby”. She made me feel very comfortable having her in our home. I highly recommend Maria, we will be booking with her again.”

“This was our first time using an in-home dog sitter after losing our previous dog unexpectedly at a boarding facility, so we were understandably very hesitant. From the moment we met Vickie, she immediately put us at ease and gave us the confidence to leave our new pup at home while we were away. Vickie went above and beyond by visiting a few times before our trip to help our pup feel comfortable with her in our home. While we were gone, she kept us updated with daily photos, which meant so much to us, and she even took the time to water our garden. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and a house in perfect condition. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Vickie provided and would absolutely love to work with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

About: Within my family we have multiple different dogs of different sizes. In highschool I was apart of my schools vet class as well as the school competitions. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and at a local veterinary. Currently I’m on summer break so I have unlimited time to take care of any pets. I would like to communicate with the owners and hear of what expectations they want so I can provide it. When going to a customers house I follow all rules that have been provided. I’m also careful with what I bring with me so no harm can come to the animals I’m watching.

“Skylar was awesome! We traveled from out of town and last minute decided we needed a dog sitter for a couple days in our hotel room. She was very accommodating. Her response time was always immediate and she sent updates as well as photos of our boy while she was with him. If we come back to California we absolutely will use Skylar again!”

“Johana was so sweet and I could tell our boys would be good with her!! Happy to know we have someone we can trust! Plus we booked last minute 2 hours beforehand!”

“My 3 dogs loved Darian! They were so glad they did not have to stay at a kennel or at home alone and that he was there at night. Darian also picked up the mail and took them for walks and gave one dog medication. I would love to have him come back and stay again!”

“Maureen did a nice job, she kept me informed and sent pictures so it made it nice for me to not have to worry, and my doggy was happy, thanks Maureen”

Teri M.

“Ebonnie was wonderful, she came earlier then asked to make sure the pups were settled down before she gave them their breakfast. She sent pictures, told us our pups were cuddle bugs and the best. We will use her again”

About: I've been around animals my entire life, growing up on a farm caring for them was part of my daily routine. In addition, I volunteer at shelters and have experience fostering both dogs and cats as well as watching family and friend's animals when they are away. I do not currently work outside of the home, so I have a flexible schedule and time to dedicate to animal care, including walks, drop-ins and overnight stays. I enjoy spending time with animals and will provide them with lots of attention and companionship. We currently have three dogs and a cat of our own, so caring for animals is truly part of my everyday life. One of my dogs is reactive, which has given me firsthand experience in understanding triggers, reading body language, and creating a calm, structured environment to help them feel safe. I'm mindful with boundaries, slow introductions and importance of routine for dogs who need a little more support. My schedule is very open and flexible right now which means I can accommodate a variety of schedules and can be very attentive to each pet's needs and routine. If I'm staying in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and keep things clean, organized and secure. I bring a grounded, mindful presence to pet care. I practice yoga and truly enjoy creating a peaceful environment for both people and animals. I am active and enjoy getting outside so your pets will get the exercise and attention they need, balanced with companionship while you are away.

“Did a great job with my fur babies. She sent me pics and updates of them. My dogs loved her and I would definitely rebook her for the next time I have a trip away. She did a great job!!”

“Parker was great with our pups for a nearly 3 week house sitting stay. He was very responsive and took wonderful care of all 3 of our huskies! Huskies can be very demanding on attention and care and Parker handled it with ease - not to mention walking 3 huskies twice a day is no easy task! The pups all took to him right away when we did our meet and greet and we felt very comfortable with having him stay in our home so we could enjoy our vacation without worry. He was very communicative and took great care of the house. He went above and beyond with helping keep the place clean and watering our plants outside! We feel we can take more trips now without worry as we have a great sitter available and knows our pups through and through. We highly recommend Parker as a dog sitter who will take wonderful care of your furry loved ones and of course your home.”

“Marissa was great! We had 2 meet and greets to ensure she was a good fit. She was very accommodating to our schedules and it gave us the confidence to leave our Great Pyrenees with someone who would give him good care. She updated us daily with texts and pictures. Took also him on several walks a day. We will definitely call on her again for our future vacations.”

Mary G.

“I loved how attentive and communicative he was with looking out for my senior dog. He has a hard time with new people and it made me happy to see he was so good on his second day with Martin. Will definitely rebook in the future.”

About: I’ve been responsible for dogs ever since I can remember. I love play time and caring for them. I can flexible in proving the care your fur baby needs. I work during the week so I am usually available Friday evenings and weekends any time. If you need accommodations during the week in the evenings I can be available as well. I can provide any service your baby needs. I am familiar with dogs in crates or in an open yard. If allowed, I can take your fur baby for a treat to a local coffee shop or dog bakery.

About: I've owned dogs and cats my entire life and also guinea pigs, rats, mice, snakes, lizards, turtles, newts, fish, horses, and more. I always encouraged my children's love of animals and so we had 14 pets at one point. I've owned mostly small and medium size dogs but I am not afraid of large breeds, I find most them are absolute sweethearts. I love all animals and understand the stress both you and they go through when you are away and I want to give them all the love and support they need for you both to feel relaxed while you are away. Whether they stay with me or I stay at your house, I promised they will be well taken care of and loved.

About: I recently cared for a new born American Pit Bull Terrier, and 16 year old black American shorthair cat. The experience/care for both animals has helped me understand and appreciate a pet owners everyday task. There is so much sacrifice, dedication, and love that animals need on a daily basis. I would like to alleviate the daily stress that some pet owners may encounter while trying to juggle life, work, and caring for their animals. I have recently been laid off due to covid-19 pandemic. I now have an open schedule, please send me all your fur request. I cant wait to meet them! I care for animals in the same way I care for humans. Animals feel and think in similar ways that we do. Knowing and understanding a animals personality will only make my care for them more enjoyable.
