House Sitting Manquin

About: We have always had a family dog, starting with a small dog, rescuing a large dog, and then most recently adopting a puppy. This has provided me with excellent and well rounded pet care skills from training a puppy to elderly care. Although I have not owned a cat, I have taken care of many and absolutely love them. Currently, pet care is the primary goal so I can work my schedule around what clients need. On a more routine day I’d likely be able to check on the pet 2-4 times then the hours of 8-5 then could spend the evening with the animal. I can follow any care routine left by the pet parents! In my own home I would crate dogs for safety at night, but keep them free in my apartment while I’m home. I have plenty of green space in my neighborhood for extensive walks and places to play. I do not have any other pets, so your baby would be my full priority! I also enjoy house sitting, and would be sure to not only tend to your pet but your home. I always leave the place cleaner than I found it, and I have my own transportation so it’s okay if you live further out.

“Could not be happier with Ashley! She came at the last minute and so very helpful. My Minnie absolutely loves her and we feel confident leaving Minnie with her.”

“Riley was an absolute pleasure to have watch our Bella. She sent us photo updates and all. She left our house spotless and could not even tell she had been there. We will defiantly be reaching out again in the future.”

“Marina took excellent care of my German shepherd, Keisel, and my staffy/English bulldog mix, Rosie. They both seemed happy and Marina had great communication. Highly recommend.”

Emily H.

“Lena was great! She sent updates with many pictures of Bosun and Ferry carrying on happily without us! She messaged us with questions as well, which we appreciated because it showed she cared about making sure things carried on as they would if we were home. We are booking her help again!”

“Lucas was a great sitter. Very communicative and went above and beyond just walking and feeding my senior dog. Highly recommended sitter Lucas is.”

Ross A.

“Steven really stepped up for me and my cats as Rosie unexpectedly required medicine each day. He was sensitive to her stress (and mine!) and found a way to help her recovery. I will definitely ask for him to care for my cats again!”

Denise L.

“Briana is patient and kind. She's responsive to my messages and connected to my babies so well. I felt comfortable leaving my babies with her, especially Durga. I could tell she genuinely connected with her during the Meet and Greet. I would recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10 years old and probably younger! I was always fascinated by animals and wanted to help my parents in anyway with our pets. I helped train all our dogs and trained my own dog all my own since she was a puppy. I’ve dealt with all the puppy stage antics to all the grumpy senior dogs! I’ve had cats for as long as I can remember and rescued my own cat a year ago. I know all about the troublesome kitten phases to the aloof senior kitties. I’ve had my own experience in giving medications to all ages of dogs and cats. I am also in school to be a licensed veterinary technician so I have some skills in that field as well. I’ve also owned all kinds of other animals from turtles, hamsters, Guinea pigs and mice to fish and rabbits and reptiles as well. I really just love all animals and would treat your pets as my own! I currently only work on the weekends so I have plenty of time to visit and walk pups of all kinds or go play and check on kitties or other animals all throughout the week! I do online classes so I have no problem bringing my laptop with me to stay and take care of your pets! Since I work on weekends usually long days I can do house sitting but I would have to leave very early Saturday mornings. As for Sundays I can start housesitting most Sunday evenings depending on my schedule! My pets in my home are very spoiled and loved. I have a 3 year old cat and at home with my parents are my 2 family dogs who I helped raise and 2 turtles! In a clients home I would treat your pets as if they are my own and make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of! I would make sure they are safe and stay in the home so no pet gets loose!

About: I am the owner of a small dog training business. I specialize in training pet, service, and working dogs. Also, I breed, raise, and train protection dogs! I live, work, and train on a six acre property. I‘m also available 24/7 for our clients and take care of your dog as mine! I have a temperature controlled training and boarding building so each dog has their own personal space. I also have treadmills, a pond, and six open acres for dogs to run and play.

“First time house sitting for our Bernedoodle and she was well handled by Joey. He took well care of her as usual, played, walked her and gave her medicine. 👍”

About: Aloha! I’m Will 👋. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking on and off for the past 5 years, caring for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Animals are truly my passion, and my main goal is to make sure your paw prince or princess is safe, pampered, and fully cared for whenever you have to step away. Because I focus entirely on on-foot neighborhood walks, personalized house sitting, and drop-in visits, your pet gets 100% of my dedicated time and attention right in the comfort of their own familiar environment. I love keeping pups active with engaging outdoor strolls, and I am equally happy giving plenty of belly rubs and playtime to more relaxed seniors or playful kittens. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets behind, so I always prioritize open communication. You can expect regular photo and text updates from me during every single visit if that’s what you prefer, so you never have to guess how they are doing. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I am currently pet sitting full-time. My other part-time job is relatively flexible and is only Sunday-Thursday, from 3:30-8:00pm. Otherwise, I have complete control over my calendar. I explicitly designed this schedule to not be away from your fur baby for too long. Whether your pup needs a mid-day energy-busting walk, a morning drop-in, or dedicated overnight company, my schedule is mostly open to fit seamlessly into whatever routine your pet needs to stay happy and comfortable. In My Home & Around the Yard: Since I have a moderately sized, fenced-in yard and my own Bernese Mountain Dog, safety at home is mostly about supervising the fun. I never just let the dogs out back and walk away; I’m always out there watching them play to make sure everyone is sharing toys and getting along safely. Before a new pup ever visits, we’ll do a casual Meet & Greet to make sure our dogs vibe well together. Indoors, I keep my home calm and secure, making sure doors are always locked and any human food or hazards are kept way out of reach. In Your Home & On Walks: If I’m coming to your place, I treat it exactly like I’d want someone to treat mine. I stick strictly to the routine you give me for feeding and care. When we head out for neighborhood walks, I always double-check harnesses and collars before opening the front door to make sure nothing can slip loose. I keep a short, secure grip on the leash and stay entirely focused on the dog—keeping an eye out for hot pavement, heavy traffic, or stray dogs so our walks stay completely stress-free.

“Ada stayed overnight at my house with Bailey. She did an excellent job. Bailey loved her. She walked Bailey in the neighborhood and cuddled with her...No wonder Bailey loves her. She also left my house very nice and clean after staying there for 5 days. I will definitely call her again when Bailey needs a sitter.”

“We were so lucky to find Izzy. She took amazing care of our anxious boy and was very accommodating at the last minute. Highly recommend!”

“Noah’s the best! He took great care of our pup and sent regular check ins and photos while we were away. He always leaves our home clean and we never worry while we’re enjoying our travels! Thanks so much Noah!”

“Briar genuinely loves dog and has shown a great deal of patience with my shy and sometimes skittish spaniel. She takes time to play with my dog and even gives her periodic car rides.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for 35 years. I am able to administer medications including injectable’s if needed. I work with all breeds and temperaments, and do not shy away from pets that have behavioral issues. I’ve worked extensively with large farm animals to include horses, goats, donkeys, and cattle and have cared for the occasional parrot, chinchilla, and snake. Since pet sitting is my only employment, I am able to provide companionship to your fur family 14-18 hours daily including overnight care. I also am able to check mail, grab packages, and water plants at no additional charge. I keep to your pets normal daily routine, to include walks, potty breaks, feeding schedule, and of course nap times. Let’s set up a meet and greet to see if I’m a good fit. Currently I am only doing pet sitting and it’s my primary and only employment. This enables me to spend more time with your fur babies. I care for pets in your home as requested. I stick to their normal daily schedule. I also water plants and grab mail as needed.

About: I just love critters! I love hanging out with your furry legged friends and would love to take care of yours if at all possible. I do work full time: however, I have my own transportation and can be somewhat flexible on my office hours. I’m used to working crazy hours all day! Can do drop ins as well as overnights, but will need to go into the office during the day. I make sure they’re happy and comfortable, following instructions to a T and spending as much time as possible with them to ensure they’re happy and healthy!

About: I have two dogs of my own one of which I trained to be my personal service dog. My second dog we originally were fostering and we adopted her because she fit into our family perfectly and became our other pups best friend. I actively foster puppies and kittens. I’ve done crate training and all the potty scaries with puppies. I’m extremely patient with them and try to meet each dog where they are at. I have experience giving medications to pets as one of my cats has to have daily oral medication. I love my pets and would treat yours as if they were my own 🖤 I have a very flexible schedule and I’m on the road and I have free time during the day and evenings where I am able to fit pet care-sitting into my schedule. I’m a very attentive pet parent myself and don’t typically leave my own dog unattended outside in the yard and I try to be very interactive and engage so they can play. I have 3 cats and enjoy playing with them and spending time with them so they feel cared for.

“Linda was very responsive to our needs for both our pet and home. She took care of medicine needs and provided much needed attention for our Bichon. We are ready to book with her for our next vacation!”
