House Sitting in Locust

“We have a farm and Terry did a great job looking over all of our animals (chickens, pigs, cats, dogs, horses). He went above what we asked and even vacuumed and cleaned the litterboxes for our return. He successfully gave meds to our temperamental chihuahua as well and kept us thoroughly updated on how she was doing.”

“Kris was absolutely wonderful with our 4 babies. She treated them like her own and loved them so much. We have 2 that aren’t a big fan of meeting new people and she even had them coming up to her and loving on her. She sent several pictures throughout her stay so that we knew the kiddos were having fun and doing well. We will definitely be using her in the future!”

With years of hands-on experience caring for both children and dogs, I’ve mastered the art of patience, nurturing, and staying on top of everyone’s needs—furry or not.

My schedule is built around the needs of my children and pets, allowing me to offer personalized care for your furry friend—whether that’s for walks, playtime, or just cuddles. With summer break upon us, my time becomes even more flexible.

Whether you need care during the day or overnight stays, I can ensure your pet is well taken care of, while balancing everything with the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, whether they’re staying in my home or yours.

In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space, ensuring that areas are safe and comfortable for all pets, with a quiet, and peaceful atmosphere when needed.

“Kaitlyn did an amazing job and on short notice too. She came over before to meet and greet and was so pleasant and cheerful. Our fur babies were so well taken care of while we were out of town. She goes above and beyond and I so appreciate her. It made being away so much easier. Can’t wait to book you again our fur babies will definitely be well cared for.”

“Jordan is truly a hidden gem! We feel so lucky to have found her, as we are new to the area and didn’t have anyone that we trusted to watch our 2 dogs. She agreed to house sit despite us making a last minute request and was so accommodating. She loved on our dogs and they absolutely loved her (which is great since they are cautious small dogs who bark at everyone until they trust them). She left the house cleaner than we left it and communicated the entire stay. She sent us adorable pictures and made us feel comfortable during our time away, and we can’t wait to have her back! Thank you, Jordan!”

About: I grew up around dogs. I got my first dog when I was born, and we grew up together. Dog sitting over the years has been a wonderful and enriching experience for me. Spending time with different breeds, each with their own unique personalities, has taught me a lot about canine behavior and care. i’m currently an active student athlete in college. But whenever I’m home, I’m spending my days with my four dogs. If you see my calendar open, please go ahead and book me and please let me to spend my days with your dog animals. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. We have a big back yard and front yard. many dog crates + Dog bowls. We have a trail to walk the dogs on so they can get exercise.

About: I have more than plenty of free time to spend with your pets!! I own 3 cats or my own at the moment and I’ve owned several dogs over the years. I’m passionate about taking care of animals and I treat them as if they were my kids. I’ve always been drawn to animals, of all sorts, I might even become a vet. Letting me watch your pet could give me future experience I might need to help me later in life. I am available night or day!! I do have another job, so I would like to know at least a week in advance if I was to be pet sitting or just walking your dog so I can make time for you!! I care for my pets by paying close attention to what they need. Only an owner can know their pets well enough to know exactly what they’re pets want or need. To make sure I’m giving you and your pet the best quality care, I would simply ask for the specific things I need to know about your pet and how they need/want to be cared for.

“Tiara was so amazing with Joey. He prefers to stay at home. She really made us feel at ease especially during this Heat wave. She is someone who definitely loves animals and very knowledgeable on caring for them. She kept us updated and even watered my flowers. I would highly recommend her and will definitely rebook again!”

About: I have lived with a variety of animals my whole life, and began regularly taking care of family and friends' dog and cats when I was 17. I am very attentive to the needs and body language of both dogs and cats, and adapt well to their unique behaviors and routines. I have experience with aloof/aggressive pets, senior pets, and young pets 6 months or older. I only work a couple days a week so I am comfortable with providing constant care to pets who cannot be left alone. I like to operate on a schedule so I am good about keeping up with bathroom breaks, feeding times, medications, etc. I am consistently available to care for your pets Sunday-Wednesday, and may frequently be available Thursday-Saturday as well (I do my best to update my calendar appropriately as far in advance as possible). I will request information about your pet's personality and care requirements prior to meeting with you. I ask that you allow me to meet your pet outside under your supervision before the stay begins, for both mine and your pet's safety and comfort.
