House Sitting in Lurgan

About: My family has always had pets. I’ve grown up with birds, rabbits, hamsters, cats, dogs, and tons of other crazy pets. In the last few years, my family has started a dog rescue from out of their home. I also work in and out of peoples homes for my job as a private house cleaner, where I come in contact with many pets everyday. I also have five pets of my own currently. I am currently working a part-time housecleaning job where I am working afternoons Tuesday through Thursday, and a part-time serving job Saturday through Wednesday mornings. However, Im very passionate about animals & i’m more than happy to help whenever needed and can do so :) I have lots of experience letting dogs out, keeping dogs on leashes, walking dogs, feeding dogs, and more. We have a strict routine at the rescue since we have brought many new dogs in. I also have experience with cats, as I have two of my own, rabbits: as i have two of my own, as well as spiders, reptiles, and more.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was around 12 years old. Working in a school setting has also strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to handle different personalities, skills I bring into caring for every pet. I work for CASD, so my schedule is very consistent during the school year, with availability after 3:45 PM on weekdays and open weekends. During the summer, I have full availability, which means I can provide more flexible scheduling, extended stays, and extra attention for your pets throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always supervise interactions and can separate pets if needed. I’m comfortable with crating if that’s part of your pet’s routine, and I’ll follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions closely to keep everything consistent and stress-free.

“Abbey was wonderful. She was supremely confident with my dogs and they were very happy and well cared for when I returned. She left my home in great shape. I appreciated her kindness, professionalism and responsiveness. I just hope she is available when I have other trips out of town.”

About: I love dogs, cats, lizards, and everything in between! I’ve grown up with them my whole life and have taken care of them as well. I currently have 2 dogs myself, a lab and a poodle. I’ve done paid pet sitting a few times for family friends and neighbors, staying overnight at their homes and caring for their animals while they’re away.😊 I work part-time at a jewelry store, as well as substituting occasionally at a preschool during the day. I’m always available for overnight. Unfortunately my dogs would not like another dog or cat in my home, but I’m happy to go to yours! I’m comfortable with you having cameras to check on your fur babies and I can check in during the day, play with them, and sleepover with them 😊

“Grayson is amazing! She helped me in a pinch! Saved my vacation and my animals fell in love with her! Thank you so very much Grayson! You're an amazing person!”

About: My aunt would bring her dog over when she would go on vacation and I'd take care of her. I would watch my grandma's dog for her on vacation. My partner has a dog thats now ours and I'm trusted with them. I just love animals. I'm off every single Tuesday so I'll be free from 8:00 until 3:00 pm and then 5:00-10:00 pm to come play with your babies. I'm usually off on Wednesday as well but sometimes it's a Monday, depends on my work schedule for the week. But I'll have it 3 weeks in advance to fit your babies into my routine to make sure they're well taken care of. I'll make sure your baby is fed, watered, walked and played with. I can crate them if needed. If they're good with other animals, I'd be more than willing to take them and my little one on a walk in a park together, I love taking mine to wildwood.

“We truly could not ask for a better sitter. She cares for our dogs as if they were her own babies, and that kind of love and attention is priceless. We always come home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a home that is just as clean and tidy as we left it. One of our favorite things is how many updates and photos she sends while we’re away—it brings us so much peace of mind (and joy!) to see how loved and comfortable our dogs are. She is kind, respectful, reliable, and goes above and beyond every single time. We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!”

“Where do I begin??? I can't begin to thank you for all you did for Owie. Your care and compassion for my little guy went above and beyond, not to mention staying with him in my home to make it easier for him. I loved my daily pictures and updates. Made my trip easier to enjoy knowing he was in your care. You truly are one of a kind. Cant wait to book you again and im sure Owie can't wait for me to go away so he can see you again!!! Thank you so very much!!”

About: I have worked at doggy daycare for over 5 years. I am able to give your fur child the time and attention that they crave or just to be there for them. I'm also available for other animals too. If you have need for sitting or care for them too. Just message me for more details I have two dogs one is a blood hound mix she is 7 years old and black lab who is 8 years old. They both get along well with other dogs and are really friendly. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to be able to come to your place or have your pet come and stay with me. I can either come to your home and care for your pet at your place or at my home. I have a large gated deck and a nice side yard. The dog park is just a block away which gives the dogs a nice place to run around and hang out with other dogs.

“Makenna was amazing! She was punctional, sweet, and the girls loved her!”

About: Hello! My name is Kacey, and I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog walker with a lifelong passion for animals. I began caring for pets in elementary school, helping my neighbors by walking their dogs and watching their pets while they were away. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work with dogs of all sizes and a wide variety of breeds. During high school, I also job shadowed at a veterinary clinic, where I gained valuable hands on knowledge about animal care, behavior, and overall wellbeing. This experience further strengthened my ability to provide attentive and compassionate care. When your pet is in my care, I am committed to going above and beyond to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and care for your furry family members! I maintain a very flexible schedule, and I do my best to accommodate each client’s needs. Even on busy days, I will work to ensure I can fit you in whenever possible. When staying in your home, I will treat it with the utmost respect and leave everything exactly as I found it. I will never make any changes or take any actions without your consent. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority.

“Did a great job. It was a long time. 10 days. Took her on car rides which was extra. Played outside with her on warm days. Slept with her. There was no mess. Lollipop really liked her. Wanted to go outside to say goodbye to her when she left.”

“Jenna was absolutely fabulous when watching our baby, Bella, for a weekend! First of all she’s so incredibly sweet and we knew Bella would be in loving hands. Jenna focused on doing all the things Bella loved: playing fetch in the yard, going to the dog park, long walks, and cuddles in bed! Despite rainy weather, Jenna still took the time to do all these things with her. At the end of day Jenna sent many pictures of Bella’s day and sent a sweet recap! It felt so good from miles away knowing Bella was having the time of her life (most likely not even missing mom & dad!) She even worked on commands with her, which is much appreciated!!! Jenna also left our home like she was never even there! Clean and bed sheets stripped for easy washing :) Thank you Jenna!!! If you want someone to love your dog like their own - book Jenna!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have had experience owning other pets such as geckos, cats, and snakes. I’ve been a pet sitter for a little over two years. My true passion for pet sitting comes from my desire to be accompanied by them, dogs specifically. I work with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Dogs of all backgrounds tend to gravitate towards me and I have never had any negative interactions. While studying for my undergrad, I was actually in charge of all the live animal specimens present on the University grounds. Feeding, exercise, and handling/care were done daily, which can explain my comfortability and familiarity with pet care. I currently am home as I finish my masters degree online so my daily schedule is fairly free. I workout and do part-time contract work when I am not doing schoolwork. I’m extremely flexible and will be willing to meet your needs as best as possible. Simply put, I treat the pets like they are my own. I ensure they are met with sufficient attention, exercise, nutrition, and safety while under my supervision. Minimizing stress is my biggest concern (my dog has separation anxiety so I know how it can be). I’ve found it helpful in the past to use my own dog as a bridge between myself and the client’s pet, as his presence tends to build confidence and reassurance.

“What a wonderful house/pet sitter. Great communication. Awesome care. My pets hardly knew we were gone. Highly recommend Miguel for your pets!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since I was a child - dogs (large and small), cats, horses, turtles, rabbits, even chickens! I have experience in puppy training and care, adult dog and cat care, dog walking, pet-sitting, farm-sitting, and house-sitting. I truly enjoy taking care of animals and will do my best to ensure their utmost safety and happiness while in my care. I’m a college student with quite a bit of availability during my long winter and summer breaks. I am fully available any time of the day or week from Dec 20 - Jan 19 and after May 9 of the current year. Outside of my college breaks, I will have more limited time for pet care, but will still be available most weekends and some of the time on weekdays. After January 19, 2026, I will be unavailable from 8am-12:30pm on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays, unavailable Tuesdays from 7:30-11:00am, and unavailable Fridays from 12:30-6:30pm due to my class schedule. I currently care for my family’s own pets, including two friendly dogs, three cats, and three horses. I live at a home with a large yard in a quiet neighborhood. The yard is unfenced as our family dogs stay within the perimeter of our home. For this reason I will leash or clip client dogs to a long line when taking them outside for their own safety, unless the owner is confident in their recall abilities and/or specifically grants them permission to be off leash while supervised. Pets will always have access to clean drinking water, and I have a few dog crates available to use upon request for dogs who may benefit from one (for up to medium-large size). Our two family dogs (a labradoodle and a sheltie) are very friendly, healthy, up to date on all vaccines, and would love to play with your fur babies if they are friendly and healthy in turn. If boarding your dog at my house, I have limited ability to separate client pets from our two dogs, so if you would prefer your dog to not interact with others, I would suggest choosing a pet-sitting service where I come to the pet, rather than the boarding service where the pet comes to me. I encourage owners to send me a detailed list of any specific instructions you may have regarding your fur baby’s care.

“Prompt arrival and good communication. Our puppy seemed very happy despite this being her first time alone. Would recommend without hesitation.”

“Taylor was a last minute lifesaver because I accidentally booked the wrong dates with our regular in home dog sitter. Outside of this, Taylor did an awesome job with our three rambunctious dogs, sent updates with pictures and even vacuumed before she left. We can’t wait to rebook with Taylor!”

Jennifer J.

“Emily was wonderful! She stayed at our house for the weekend to look after our dog, and he was so well cared for. We loved the updates she sent and came home to one very happy pup. Highly recommend!”
