House Sitting in Lucia

“We have been privileged to have Paul sit for our rescue chihuahua, Charlie, multiple times. He and his wife Jan take excellent care of our boy and our home. Indescribable piece of mind knowing Charlie is in his own home, with his favorite pal, Paul. Highly recommend!”

“Tiffany is fantastic! She treated my dogs like her own. She is not only trustworthy and kind, but she made sure my fur babies were stimulated, entertained, and given lots of love! She is communicative and always sending updates. I will continue to use her and I recommend her 100%.”

“Roree!!!!! You took such great care of Chewy! Thank you for the daily communication and pictures! I truly appreciate the care you gave my little baby🐱this is the first time I have felt so happy with the person caring for him while I was gone, and I could tell when I got home that he was well taken care of while I was gone. Thank you so much!”

“Lilly did an exceptional job with our dogs, and with very short notice. Our dogs are a little high maintenance, and need a lot of exercise and attention so coming home to happy and content dogs was awesome! We can’t thank you enough, everything looks great, and Thor and Blue are happy! If you’re looking for a responsible dog sitter, Lilly is it! She’s kind, trustworthy and an animal lover! Thanks again, Lilly 🥳”

About: I have had dogs for my entire life! I currently have 2 dogs. Both are Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Trinity is our senior girl 13 yrs old, and Shira who is 2. I have had the most experience with big dogs (mainly German Shepherds and now Rhodesian Ridgebacks). I have done Schutzhund with my shepherds and have done dog shows and obedience shows locally with my Ridgebacks. Our dogs and the ones I take care of are always my priority. I treat all dogs like they are mine so they get all the love, snuggles, and attention they want. I have a safe and secure home and yard. We have a 3/4 acre completely fenced back yard fenced to 6 feet high. We are in the country and have lots of bunnies for them to chase. We also have a creek on our property that in good weather would be fun for the dogs to play in. I have some agility equipment that I will break out when the weather is nice and let dogs go through those or show them how. For rainy days we have toys and dog puzzles to keep their minds active. We also have a shop that I can put up agility equipment when the weather is lousy and cold so they can chase each other around in there if they are getting antsy. I also do daily obedience with my own dog and any other dog that is with me and wants to join in. While most of my experience has been with big dogs, I will work with any style and breed of dog after I meet them and we get to know each other. I also have experience working with packs of dogs, as at one time, I had a large pack of both German Shepherds, and then Ridgebacks. I also have a lot of experience working with puppies and can help with basic training. I seem to have a knack to help dogs who normally don’t eat or are very nervous when being left with someone else. I have had many boarders who’s moms and dads said were picky eaters or wouldn’t eat for a couple of days and somehow with me they eat well, don’t miss meals, and many times expand their diets. If you have a dog that takes medication I can, and have, administered meds that their parents bring. But I will only administer prescription meds written by a licensed veterinarian to the specific dog with explicit instructions. Bottom line, I don’t just “board” dogs. They are part of the family and treated as such until you get back. They Are talked to, interacted with by my dogs and myself and my husband all day long. They aren’t just put in a room or left outside to fend for themselves. They are truly being loved and cared for from the minute they are dropped off until the minute you pick them up. My husband and I are retired so I am full time at home now. So I can board 7 days a week. And overnight care at my house will be my specialty as you never have to worry about your dog being left for hours during the day or night. I have a very “dog friendly” home. That being said my house is clean and fairly tidy. I clean daily to make sure the dogs are in the best environment. My goal is to have your dog go home with you better than when they came. If they are full of mud from playing outside in the rain they will be washed and dried before they go home. If their nails are too long I will cut them (if the dog allows). If they need to be brushed, I will brush them and often give them a massage…this is especially good for the nervous dogs. If they are scared and feel nervous they will be returned happy and calm from being pampered while you were away. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture including our bed and can play inside or outside with my dogs who are very friendly to other dogs and people. I don’t crate any of my dogs and don’t require dogs that stay with me to be crated during the day or night. If you prefer your dog to be crated at night I will follow your instructions if you bring the crate that they are used to. Many of the dogs that I board sleep in our bed but they also have very plush beds throughout our home that they can sleep on overnight or during the day for naps. Wherever they feel more comfortable sleeping is fine with me even if they don’t want to be in our room with us and our dogs.

“Maureen house sat for 5 days and watched my 2 little dogs and they loved her. Maureen kept me updated, sent photos and even washed the bed sheets and towels she used. Also, one of my dogs can be anti social with people she doesn't know well. By the 2nd night she was laying next to Maureen on the chair. Maureen is wonderful and will defintely use again.”

About: I've taken care of dogs pretty regularly, from chihuahuas to great danes. I work well with senior dogs just as well as energetic young dogs :) I'm an online graduate student with an internship in Vancouver, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm almost always open on weekends as well. Whatever fits you needs. I have a fenced in yard at home, and food is usually separated from my other pets' food and typical routines to limit interaction. At a clients home, I work hard to keep the home pristine and keep an eye on your pets wherever they go.

About: I’ve been pet/housesitting for the majority of my life! Growing up I was relied on heavily by many. I was consistently approached by family, friends, and neighbors. There were quite a few people that had me as their go-to whenever they needed the help and I made a strong connection with. I always get excited when people ask me to petsit for them! On top of that, I’ve done a lot of volunteer work at animal shelters, including dog walking, cleaning, and playing. I’m currently a SPED Educational Assistant, 8am-3:30pm every weekday at a school in Portland. Anytime around that I am free and willing, but I understand if that is too large a gap in the days as far as house sitting goes. Otherwise, my weekends are entirely free, as well as my summer break! I will accommodate to whatever needs must be met for your pet! I want to make sure your fur baby is completely safe, comfortable and happy with me. Every animal is different and I love to make space for them and learn about what they like, dislike, need, as well as their quirks and personalities. Connection and trust is very important to me.

“Michaela has been fantastic in getting to know our pup and staying with her for a few days. She is very conscientious and professional, emphasizing communication and thoroughness. She took great care of our pup, ensuring she was happy, healthy, and safe. She also took excellent care of our home. Everything was clean and organized upon our return. Michaela is a gem!”

“Brooklyn did a fantastic job watching our two morkies over a weekend period. We especially appreciated her proactive style of communication, her calm when dealing with any issues, and of course all the pictures of our pups throughout the day while we were away. Would definitely recommend her services and book with her again. Thanks Brooklyn!”

“We last minute needed a dog sitter for our two large breed dogs before a 3 night trip. Izzabella was quick to respond to my request and took excellent care of the dogs. Sent lots of updates and pictures as she stayed in our home to dog sit. Would definitely recommend.”

India P.

“Great with the pups and took them to an off leash place where they could run off their energy. They were exhausted when we got back from our own adventure. We appreciate you!”

About: Hello! My name is Jeaneth. I had a love for animals since I was very young thanks to my oldest sister. I’m currently a dog groomer looking to help other dog parents through dog sitting and walking as well. Being around animals is very rewarding and calming. This is great way to be around animals. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. I’m a full time dog groomer with the need for a little more income for my human babies. I have the experience and passion for my fur babies as well. I would prefer to take care of clients’ pets at their house because my children are young and I have a very hyper dog. Their house will feel more comfortable to many fur babies. I do know how to make many pets feel comfortable and supportive.

About: Hi there! My name is Kasy. I love all dogs and have plenty of experience. I’ve grown up with dogs, horses and chickens. I have been training animals for nearly 7 years now. My best friend is my dog Riley. She loves meeting other dogs as well. I’m not only experienced with only dogs but horses too. I have successfully trained 3 horses in my life and have taught 2 people to ride as well. I used to baby sit puppies from a local pet store at night so the owner wouldn’t have to stay. There would be approximately 3 or 4 dogs at a time. I would love to meet your dog ! I am looking for a way to make extra cash and this is perfect because I am the biggest animal lover. If you have any questions please make sure to reach out. Thanks ! I am currently working part time at a school. After 2:30 I am free to play with furry friends. In about 3 weeks my schedule will change into full availability with the exception of saturday and sunday mornings. I have a fenced yard, dog crates and beds for my pups. They rarely use the crates and are used to roaming free at our house and the fenced dog park

“Janeva house sat for us over the holidays, she was great at communicating and giving updates about our dog and cat, and left our house spotless. Would definitely book with her again!”

“Nicole did such a great job with my two dogs! She gave them lots of TLC, and was very communicative with me. I will definitely request Nicole again for dog sitting!”
