House Sitting in Lyons

“This is our second time using Nadiya and I'm so thankful for her watching after our boys, particularly our old lab. In his older years, he has been starting to have some health issues that we are trying to figure out, and Nadiya has been so gracious as to be both flexible and communicative as we navigate his new normal with age. As my husband said when we arrived home to a clean house and happy animals, along with all the cute pictures she sent during her time with our pets, "she's a keeper". I would recommend Nadiya to literally anyone.”

“Rosie took wonderful care of our pups and our home while we were away and was very patient with our one dog who is a bit of a nervous Nellie. It was so nice to know our pups were in good hands while we were away, thanks Rosie!”

“Sandor's experience dog-sitting Raphael was nothing short of amazing. Throughout their time together, they forged a bond that was built on trust, love, and endless fun. Through the pictures Sandor sent, I could see that Raphael was filled with joy and happiness, creating lasting memories that will undoubtedly be cherished by both of them. Thank-you, Sandor!”

“She did an awesome job! Kept us informed, took them for a walk, and left the house clean. When I got home, they seemed like they were well taken care of. I would definitely book Rikki again!”

“Anjilee was really great and communicated well while watching my dog and cat over the 4th of July weekend! She was very responsive and provided lots of picture updates. Both my dog and cat were very happy during their time with her and I would definitely recommend her services!”

“Erin was AMAZING! We are so thankful to of found and worked with her. She took such good care of our pups. One senior and one adult dog plus a cat. She made them feel at peace while we were away and couldn't of asked for a better outcome. Will work with her again.”

About: I have cared for everything from dogs to lizards to horses. My love for animals is infinite (so far). My main responsibility came from my German Shepard, who I trained to walk well on leash and not lash out at other dogs. I'd be honored to care for your pet(s) and I'm looking forward to meeting new animals (and people!). I currently have a very part time job (10 hours a week, flexible schedule), so I would have plenty of time to care for and love your pets. I am happy to care for your animals in any way. I can walk, feed, and play with your pets. Or just be emotional support. Any way I can help, I'd be happy to!

“In a word, Shawn is "great!". He stayed with our furry little ones almost a week while we were traveling and was a fantastic fill-in pet parent and house guest. Pets were happy and house was immaculate when we returned. Couldn't ask for more!”

About: I was raised in a dog and cat household and loved taking care of them. For the brief time in my adulthood that I did not have a pet, I would dog/cat sit for a various families often. I am fond of elderly dogs/cats and have taken care a few (including giving medications, shots, cooking specific diets, etc). I am also comfortable feeding farm animals such as horses and mules. I work full-time from my home allowing flexible time to play and care for animals. My outings are usually quick errands around town so my pets get a lot of dog mom time! I am available to do longer stays given that I work remote and love making pets feel safe and comfortable whilst their owners are away. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 friendly dogs (lab and border collie mix) to keep your furry loved one company! I also play music often for myself and for the dogs. I find it helps soothe some anxiety for them as well!

“Had a last minute need for a long term overnight cat sitter, and Yvette was very quick to respond and set up a meeting. I really appreciated how accommodating she could be. My cat was very shy, but I still received updates every other day.”

“Olivia was communicative and responsive to my dog’s needs!”

About: After being with my shih tzu Charlie since I was 5 years old, I’ve grown to adore animals no matter their shape nor size! I’ve learned to care for dogs and cats in many ways! I’m completely free, anytime, anywhere, to take care of your animals! Preferably a day communication in advance would be great to take the best care of your pets. I’m able to handle aggressive and not trained animals as any other, as well as survey them 24/7. Living with two cats currently, I am able to always check up on them and provide the TLC needed!

“Mr cat did very well with Danielle. He had none of the stress related problems he sometimes gets when I travel. Danielle was attentive to detail. I left written instructions which she followed. The house was in order, the mail brought in, and the plants are looking good. I'll definitely book again.”

“Aoife watched our anxiety ridden nervous mess of a mini dachshund and our home for five days while we had to go out of state. It was our first experience with her house sitting, so we were a little nervous, but the interview with her made me feel so comfortable that I had to book her. Aoife went above and beyond for our pup, and kept our house in meticulous shape. Biz is pretty particular, and also doesn't like to walk unless the whole family is there, so she actually carried him around the neighborhood and had him walk back home! He went on so many little adventures with her and she sent a ton of updates, making us feel that he was well taken care of. She even left stickers for my daughter! I can honestly say that this is the first time I feel Biz has ever been depressed about a dog sitter leaving and not being here the next day when he woke up to his own family! I would absolutely recommend Aoife for your animal companion and your home.”

“Katy was such a joy to work with, she took excellent care of my senior fur baby (Dharma) for the weekend while I was skiing out of state. Katy sent the absolute best updates, and went for nice long walks with Dharma. She is super communicative and an all around fun and kind human. Your dog / cat will be in the best hands with her :)”

About: I have always had dogs in my house since I was small and in the past five years we have gotten cats. We have also had some exotic animals including: chinchilla , hamsters, guinea pigs, a bearded dragon, and birds. I work as a transcriber so I am always home. My dogs need medication so I make sure they eat it after their food. As I have cats as well I do a daily scoop to make sure that there is no waste in there. I make sure to always read every part of instructions for the care of the fur baby that I am taking care of as well as cleaning up after the mess that may happen while I am there.

About: I bring a wealth of experience, working with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs. Whether it's following precise care instructions, administering medication, or offering extra patience for older pets, I'm committed to their well-being. Here are a few things that make my service stand out: Experienced Across All Ages: I have hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies who need extra attention to senior dogs who require gentle care and patience. High Energy and Love for Walks: I love being active and going on long walks with dogs. Whether your pup needs extra playtime or a brisk walk to burn off energy, I’m always ready to join in and keep them active and happy. Trustworthy and Reliable: I understand how important it is to have peace of mind while you're away. You can count on me to follow instructions to the letter, ensuring your dog's routine is maintained with care and consistency. Conscientious Care: Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’m always mindful of their needs, whether it’s adhering to feeding schedules, exercise routines, or offering companionship during quiet moments. Personalized Attention: Every dog has its own personality and preferences. I make it a point to get to know your pet and tailor my care to their specific likes and needs. Let me help you keep your pets happy, safe, and well-cared for while you're away! As a potter and online student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. My studies can be done remotely, which makes house sitting and pet care an ideal fit for my routine. Whether it’s providing company to your pet during the day or attending to their needs in the evening, I can easily balance my responsibilities with their care. Here's how it all works together: Flexibility for Your Pet’s Needs: My schedule allows me to work from anywhere, so I can be present in your home, giving your pet companionship and care whenever needed. Whether your pet thrives on extra attention or prefers a quieter routine, I’m able to adjust my day around their needs. Time for Play and Rest: While attending online classes or working on assignments, I make sure to build in breaks to give your pet playtime, affection, or quiet companionship. With a flexible routine, I can devote focused attention to your pet when they need it most. Loving House Sitting: House sitting is a natural fit for my lifestyle. It allows me to combine my love for animals with the flexibility of studying remotely, ensuring both your home and pet are well cared for while you’re away. Caring for pets in their own home ensures they stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar surroundings. When I step into your home, my goal is to provide the same love and attention your pet is used to while maintaining a clean, safe, and stress-free environment. Here’s how I approach in-home pet care: Maintaining Routines: Pets thrive on routine, and I’m dedicated to sticking closely to their usual schedule, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or any specific rituals you follow. This helps your pet feel secure and minimizes any anxiety while you're away. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with the utmost respect, ensuring everything is kept clean and orderly. I make sure to leave your space exactly as I found it, and I am mindful of security measures like locking doors and managing access. Personalized Attention: I take the time to get to know your pet and their preferences, ensuring they get the right amount of play, affection, and downtime. Whether it’s giving extra cuddles, engaging in their favorite games, or allowing them time to relax undisturbed, I tailor my care to their needs. Health and Safety First: I always keep a close eye on your pet's health and well-being. If they have any medical needs or require medication, I’ll administer it carefully and on schedule. Should I notice anything unusual with their behavior or health, I’ll promptly keep you informed. Clear Communication: I understand how important peace of mind is. I provide regular updates, including photos and messages, so you know how your pet is doing while you're away. You'll always be in the loop!
