House Sitting in Lawrence

“Absolutely great - everyone was happy and relaxed when we got home, outdoor plants were watered, and our boy cat was not in a sulk. House was spotless, communication was great, I hate writing this review because everyone is going to book him up and we won't be able to.”

“Rachel is a wonderful dog sitter. She is so good with our goofy pups and we feel so comfortable leaving them when we know she is taking care of them.”

“Sydney was great with our husky and pug! Our pug is diabetic, blind and elderly and Sydney was fine with giving her insulin. They were both well cared for. We will definitely seek out her services when we need a sitter in the future!”

“Markie took excellent care of our dog, two cats, and four ducks while we were on vacation. We especially appreciated the photos during her stay.”

“Kristie was so wonderful. She was extremely attentive to my dog's needs, gave him a lot of attention, and he very clearly loved her from the pictures she sent. She consistently sent photos of the routes they walked on Google maps to show that she'd made sure Franklin was given enough exercise and stimulation, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely book her again!”

“Alicia did an excellent job taking care of our dog, two cats, and four ducks. She was quick to respond if we had questions and sent us updates and photos throughout the visit. Our house was as tidy as we left it. We would trust her to watch our pets again!”

“Emily did a great job house and dogsitting for my family. She stayed at my house for a full week which was perfect for my over-anxious chihuahua and elderly beagle. Kennels and "pop in" dog sitters don't work for us, and I was so happy to have this option! I was able to enjoy my vacation because I knew my dogs had a human with them for company and were being well cared for. Emily was professional, took good care of the dogs, and left my house in great condition. I would use her again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Emily, for all of your help!”

“Cassie was awesome! We needed a last minute sitter, and she was super flexible with our short notice. Our pup immediately loved her too, and she was great about keeping in touch with us throughout her visit. I highly recommend!”

“Elaine was wonderful with our last minute request and being willing to stay with our girls. Our eldest is a senior with storm anxiety and trouble walking, Elaine was so patient and kind with her. Thank you, Elaine! We appreciate you!”

“Dylan was very nice and following my instructions took snowball out and she was very calm and relaxed when i came home,I will definitely get him again...he was a real gem!!”

“Mikayla is absolutely amazing with every animal I’ve seen her with. She is very dedicated to making sure her pets, as well as any pets under her care, are treated with respect and live a healthy lifestyle.”

“Lucas has been pet sitting since 2016. He is now 18 and able to have his own Rover account. We call Lucas the "dog whisperer"; he is so good with all dogs...big and small, young and older. He gives the pups lots of care, attention and love. We have had numerous families have our family watch their dogs, and Lucas has always been involved. He has his own vehicle and can drive for dog walking. He's an excellent student, kind young man and a HUGE DOG LOVER! Also, he loves taking care of cats too. He has taken care of our neighbors cats many times, as well as another family member. He knows the type of care the cats need to be taken care of. Highly Recommended!”

“Linda watched my Diamond girl for years from a puppy until she was 2 years old. Linda loved Diamond and Diamond loved going to Lindas. the only reason she does not watch Diamond anymore is because we moved away. Leaving your furbaby with Linda would be a great choice. Lots of LOVE.”

“Robert did a wonderful job caring for our dog. Took him hiking and gave him lots of exercise which he is accustomed to. When we returned home our dog was excited to see us but you could tell he was not stressed out by our absence like he usually is. Our house was also neat and well cared for…we’d LOVE to have Robert back for future jobs!”

“Skyler was great with our pup Whiskey and cat Cinnamon. They were happy and healthy when we got home. She was communicative and was able to accommodate their routine without issue as well as managing Whiskey's anxiety around storms. Great experience overall!”

About: I have a lifetime of experience with pets and pet care taking, and beyond that I have always loved each and every animal in my life to the utmost extent (to my detriment sometimes, I just get so attached). Over the years, I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, amphibians, snakes, chickens, goats, ducks, and more! I am experienced with administering insulin and other medicines, and I am strict about not allowing them to eat any foods that aren't approved by their parent(s). I do not use harsh chemicals or fragrances on myself or in the home. I also have experience with the rare yet significant situation of coordinating veterinary euthanasia with the pets' parents in the event of major life illness/crisis. I have provided elder pet hospice care twice while pet sitting and innumerable times in my own life with pets I've owned over the years. While never pleasant by any means, know that your elder pets are in deeply loving, caring hands should something like this crisis arise. I provide video chat, trips to any vet of your choice (or an at-home vet I've worked with for years) to help us diagnose what your furry baby might be experiencing, and after you've talked with the vet yourself, watched over video chat, and decided to take the hard yet best decision for your pet, I am ready to help manage the process for a smooth, comfortable experience for everyone. I have had a family (my best friends and their children) on video chat while I cradled their cat through this transitional moment, at their vet's office with 3 nurses there to help us. Probably the hardest thing I've done in this line of work, but an important factor for anyone with elder pets who may experience their last moments while you are away and need somebody experienced and able to manage such a situation. Something we never, ever hope to occur, but if an animal is suffering, the kindest thing we can do for them sometimes. Just know they would be treated with the same care you would want to treat them during such an experience, and I would be in touch along every step of the way. And otherwise, I am happy to help and care for your pets at any age! And puppies at least over a year old I work part time from home, mostly from my phone, and am able to be present with your critters pretty much 24/7 save for the occasional errands! I am always happy to discuss the type of schedule your baby(/ies) might need! I still wear a high quality mask into people's homes during drop in visits (April 2024 and beyond!), I'm a covid safe sitter. I am always happy to take over a pet's routine in their home and adapt to things such as where they like to sleep, where they like to walk, and what their little quirks in the space might be. I make sure to keep items like foods, cleaning supplies, and vitamins well out of their reach, and I do a thorough cleaning of the space before you return as well!

“Did a great job caring for our dogs!! Highly recommend.”

“The best you can ask for your pets! She goes above and beyond to get sure they are comfortable and she is so communicative which I love that about her!”

“Taylor is amazing at taking care of pets! I have a little teacup chihuahua named Kali and he acts like a toddler sometimes. He loves playing 24/7, going on walks, and A LOT of attention. However, Taylor was able to take care of him and meet those needs! Now, Kali looks forward to seeing her every time I travel and need a pet sitter. Taylor is definitely my go to pet sitter!”

“As soon as I met Maxim, I knew I could trust them with my pup. Maxim was great at communicating with me and sent lots of updates and pictures at my request. So glad my dog has found a new friend :)”
