House Sitting Magnolia Springs

“Patricia was outstanding with our two fur babies. Being a new sitter for them, I was worried it would take awhile for them to warm up to her. However, that was not the case and they were super relaxed when we came home. They received lots of walks and attention! Looking forward to scheduling with her again. Thanks Patty!!!”

“Jessica took wonderful care of our pup and our house! Jessica was so patient with his potty training and night time needs. Jessica kept us updated and shared cute photos throughout our time away. I couldn’t recommend Jessica more!”

“We have two dogs and Joanne took great care of them. Banksy goes to boot camp in two weeks and isn’t the easiest. She stayed with them and made them feel comfortable while communicating with us consistently.”

About: Pet sitting is a long-standing family tradition for us. When my daughters were growing up, their demanding schedules as competitive dancers didn't allow time for them to hold traditional jobs. To help fund their training, the three of us spent years house and pet sitting together during summers and holidays. I taught them the deep responsibility, respect, and attentiveness required to care for someone else's home and animals. In fact, those lessons stuck so well that my daughter, now a professional dancer, still pet sits between her contracts! Growing up, my life was beautifully full of dogs, cats, birds, and horses (along with an open-door policy for any stray or injured animal that needed help, including rabbits, squirrels and armadillos), which gave me a lifetime of hands-on experience and a deep intuition for animal behavior. Over the decades, I have comfortably managed everything from standard routines to specialized care, including administering oral medications, managing strict supplement schedules, and caring for pets recovering from injury or dealing with age-related limitations. I understand that every pet has unique emotional and physical needs, and I pride myself on providing a calm, steady presence that makes them feel safe and completely secure in their own home. Specialized Experience & Capabilities With a lifetime spent surrounded by dogs, cats, birds, and horses, I comfortably provide specialized, high-tier care that goes far beyond standard pet sitting: Puppy & Kitten Socialization: Building foundational bonds, routine structure, and basic command reinforcement. Senior, Hospice, & End-of-Life Care: Providing a gentle, dignified, and highly intuitive environment for aging companions. Medical & Supplement Management: Expert administration of oral medications, strict supplement schedules, and precise medical timelines. Injury & Surgery Recovery: Meticulous oversight for pets navigating strict physical limitations or recovering from trauma. Anxious & Trust-Building Needs: Creating a secure sanctuary for fosters, recent adoptees, or pets with separation anxiety. Personally & Professionally - Please note: While I am new to this platform (referred by my daughter, a long-time Rover), I bring an 11-year history as a five-star Airbnb guest with a track record of excellent reviews, a five-star rated DoorDasher, and I am also a corporate professional with an established, vetted background on LinkedIn with over 2,000 connections! My status as a WFH (Work from Home) professional allows me to provide your pets with round-the-clock supervision and deskside companionship. My baseline rate accounts for standard flexibility, allowing me to step out for up to 6 hours as needed. For pets needing true Constant Care—where medical, dietary, or anxiety needs require me to remain on the property continuously—there is a $25/day premium add-on. About Me: Committed to Elite, Constant Care ​Hello! I am a remote-working professional (who LOVES to Travel) embarking on an intentional, vibrant new chapter of life as an empty nester. For the last 25 years, my proudest title was "Mom," raising two incredible daughters as a single mother. Now that they are navigating their own successful paths, I am dedicated to bringing that same fierce devotion, love, and round-the-clock enrichment to your beloved fur-babies. (NOTE: One daughter lives on a cruise ship as a performer, my oldest daughter lives in NYC, and other family members spread about, leaving me interested in traveling ALL OVER - So please feel free to request me!) ​I understand the profound worry that can come with leaving your pets behind. My mission is to alleviate all anxiety by offering true constant care in the comfort of your home. I bring an intuitive, deeply empathetic approach to caregiving, connecting with your companions on a heart-to-heart level to establish trust, routine, and a calm, steady presence while you are away. ​My Heart & Dedication: Stories of True Commitment ​My intuition for animal behavior isn't just a hobby; it is a lifelong calling. I don't easily fluster, and I have a deep-seated "open-door policy" for any creature in need. To understand the level of dedication I bring to your home, you just have to look at a few chapters of my life: ​Beating the Odds with Bali: Shortly after COVID, I lost my beloved Pomeranian, Bali (whose beautiful life I chronicled on Instagram - Her picture in my profile). When Bali was born, she was so critically ill that vets said she wouldn't make it. I refused to give up. For two solid months, I held her tiny, lethargic puppy body constantly, bottle-feeding her around the clock until she finally perked up and beat the odds. She grew up believing it was beneath her to bark or even use the bathroom in a public space—she was part cat, part human, and the absolute center of my world. That is the level of fierce, round-the-clock devotion I bring to animals under my care. ​A Gentle Guardian for Seniors (Intuition When It Matters Most): I deeply respect the vulnerability of senior pets. During one of my sits for a sweet senior Golden Retriever, I noticed some unusual lumps that her owners hadn't yet seen. I advocated for her and urged them to take her to the vet, where she was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer. A short time later, while her parents had to travel for an essential work trip, I watched her again. Within a couple of days, I could sense a deep shift in her energy—I knew the signs, and I knew she was declining. Though I make it a strict rule to never unnecessarily disrupt a client's trip, I followed my intuition and called them, gently but firmly explaining that they needed to come home ASAP. They arrived the next day, and she peacefully passed away the very next morning. Her parents were profoundly grateful; they couldn't imagine the heartbreak of not being there for her final moments. I bring that same protective vigilance to your aging companions. ​Rescuing Boomer: My home has always been a sanctuary for those who need it. I once rescued a scrawny, struggling young cat named Boomer in a parking lot. She was so incredibly grateful for the food and safety I offered that she kept coming right back to my front door (hence her name, "Boomer" for boomerang). Eventually, I made her an official indoor cat, and she spent the rest of her days as the happiest, most pampered girl. ​The Miracle on the Roadside: My respect for life extends to all of nature's creatures. I once pulled over for an armadillo on the side of the road that had unfortunately been hit by a car. Though she had passed, I noticed her stomach moving. Her pouch was full of live babies. We rescued them, brought them home, and successfully bottle-fed them. ​Every Life Matters: On another occasion, I spotted a tiny squirrel lying motionless on the sidewalk after falling from a tree. I carefully wrapped her in a towel, secured her in a large, comfortable box to give her room, and spent hours calling resources until I connected with a local squirrel sanctuary that took her in.

“Raylin stayed with my dogs at our house for six days while we were on vacation. I think she did great with my pups! We would definitely welcome her back next time we need a dog sitter!!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I have been with inside dogs to outside. No size scares me and have dealt with dogs that have required full 24/7 care with timed medications. I’m currently a college student looking for morning work aside from my afternoon job. If you need a home sister or someone to check in on the weekends I am your person as-well! In your home, I follow the same standards I would for my own. Your dog is my top priority whether we’re snuggling, playing fetch or tug-of-war, or enjoying a walk. I provide care with patience, attention, and genuine love, just as every dog deserves. You tell me what your dog needs and I will be there.

About: I have worked in animal care fields for over five years. I used to work at two different boarding facility's where we would get not only dogs but cats and even birds sometimes. I have also stayed at family and neighbors houses while they were away to help with there fur babies! I look forward to meeting your beloved animals no matter how big or small! I currently work full time at a bank. I have a lot of free time for the weekends and for after work. I have to be at my work by 8:15 but will be able to come depending how close for my lunch to let the babies out. I get off around five so I will be back for the rest of the night. I am currently not able to bring pets to my home due to one of my dogs not being the friendliest. I am able to come and stay at your residence and also available for walking.

About: Hi!! I have had animals my WHOLE life, grew up on a farm so I’ve always been around animals. I have a cat that’s declawed and two kiddos in my home that love meeting new friends. I work from home and would love to help others by dog sitting and/or walking. I’m able to take the dogs out first thing in the morning, lunch time, and 2x in the evenings. I do have a fenced yard for the zoomies and a neighborhood with a sidewalk for walks. I look forward to getting to know your family pets and working together :) I take bookings only when I know I will have plenty of time during your pets stay to be sure they’re being walked and supervised while running around the yard. I have a fenced in yard for letting your pets outside and a crate, if your pet is crate trained. I am happy to follow any special instructions that you may have for your pets.

“We had Melissa house-sit our three dogs for six days this month — a Lab, a Mini Poodle, and a Chihuahua. Melissa truly knows how to handle dogs. Our Lab can be a little stubborn and doesn’t respond well to someone who is too soft-spoken, but Melissa knew exactly how to be firm and confident, so she would listen and obey. While we were away, our Lab ate something she shouldn’t have, which created a bit of an emergency. Melissa handled it calmly and responsibly by immediately contacting the emergency vet and us. Following our instructions, she administered hydrogen peroxide to safely induce vomiting and help our Lab recover. Melissa is kind, dependable, and clearly experienced with dogs. She also has nearby family support available if she ever needs assistance, which gives us additional peace of mind. We are extremely picky about who we trust with our pets because they do not do well in unfamiliar environments. We felt very comfortable having Melissa stay in our home and care for our dogs because we know she is responsible, loving, and capable of handling even stressful situations. We highly recommend Melissa and would absolutely hire her again if we ever need a sitter.”

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember and over the years I have pet sat and house sat for many people. I am an early to rise and a late to bed. Mornings and evenings are the easiest for me to work into my regular schedule, but with enough notice I will try to adjust my regular schedule. Keeping pets in their own homes and with their usual routine is very important to me. It helps to keep them comfortable while their human is away. If there is no fenced in backyard going for long walks is my favorite. If you do not have a leash I have plenty I can bring since I have 3 dogs in my own home .

“Madeleine did an amazing job for us. She was punctual and arrived exactly when she said she would. We really appreciated the way she kept us updated with pictures and how Gracie was doing overall. We will definitely book her again!”

About: What sets me apart is my professional experience in veterinary medicine. I have several years of hands-on experience as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and caring for pets with special medical needs. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and animals that may be nervous or require extra patience. Whether your pet needs medication, a consistent routine, or just lots of love and attention, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always provide reliable communication, photo updates, and personalized care to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I work in the veterinary field, so caring for animals is what I do both professionally and personally. My schedule allows me to provide walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, medication administration, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I plan my day around the pets in my care to make sure they stay on their normal routine. Whether it’s feeding, exercise, playtime, medications, or just giving extra cuddles, I make it a priority to provide dependable, loving care and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I always care for pets as if they were my own while following each owner’s specific instructions and routine. In my client’s home, I work to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and lots of love and attention. I also make sure their home is respected and kept clean, and I provide regular photo and message updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of supervised playtime, exercise, and affection. I make sure each pet has fresh water, comfortable places to rest, and receives individualized care based on their personality, age, and needs. My veterinary experience also allows me to confidently care for puppies, senior pets, and pets that require medications or extra monitoring.

“Sara was amazing with our little 16 year old Chihuahua mix. She was very attentive and did everything that we asked of her for our senior dog. We will definitely be rebooking with her.”
