House Sitting in Mars Hill

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 16. I also grew up with 4 medium sized dogs at a time. I have always had a love for animals and love to meet other fur babies. I have been able to follow feeding instructions and if needed have followed giving medications. Just a heads up I will not be accepting bookings from June on until I am sure where I will be after college. I’m currently a senior in college with only 2 classes and 2 labs, so I will have a lot of time to spend with your pups! I have a small, fenced yard and I have one yellow lab at home that is very dog friendly. I will follow up with you anytime I arrive at your house and will provide a recap of my time with your animal. I will follow all instructions given to me ahead of time to ensure you receive the best care for your furry friend. I will treat them as if they were my own and spend so much time ensuring they enjoy there time with me!

About: I have always had a love for dogs and I understand the worries of finding a sitter that genuinely cares. I can assure you that your fur baby is in good hands! I currently work full-time from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. During the workday, I have a one-hour lunch break that I can use to go for a quick walk. On the weekends, I am fully available and can dedicate my full attention, as my schedule is flexible. A few bullet points about the quality of my service: - I will send photo updates - Ask about routines and commands - Follow feeding instructions exactly - Arrive on time - Play and keep your fur baby active when I can

“Beth was amazing to have as our pet/house sitter, making our 10-day vacation stress-free! She's an excellent communicator, and both responsible and responsive regarding all facets of home and pet care. We have 2 young cats who can be a bit shy around new people- but they loved Beth immediately and are honestly probably bummed that we're back! The house was left in excellent condition as well (not that we expected any different, but just saying:). As I'm sure is the case with all pet owners, we're always a little anxious about leaving the cats for long periods of time but really had no stress about it whatsoever on this occasion. We will definitely look to book Beth or our next time away! Thanks again!”

“Hannah was an excellent sitter and I recommend her very highly. My two dogs got nice walks and their meds were administered properly. They were clearly happy with her company. She also left the house shipshape and remade the bed with fresh sheets. She kept me updated and was very organized. I couldn't have asked for more.”

“Elizabeth was great. We came home to a happy dog, healthy chickens, and a clean house. She kept up with harvesting from the garden as requested. We'll happily use her again.”

Lisa H.

“We had a great experience with Becca and rate her an exceptional, gifted animal sitter. Our two dogs and two cats (all sensitive and sort of special needs) were so calm and relaxed when we got home - that says it all. It was a huge, huge relief to be able to leave them with someone so good with them. She listens carefully and follows instructions to the letter. The house was clean and tidy. I can't say enough positives. This was our first house sitting experience since moving to Marshall. Highly recommended.”

“Lettie is super-responsive and flexible. She's considerate and attentive to details. Our dogs loved her!”

“Laura is a doglover, my boxer likes her very much. She took him to his favorite dogpark to meet his friends too. Laura is very responsible and is very friendly to work with. Thanks Laura.”

Monique S.

“Kay made us feel extremely comfortable leaving our pups with her for the weekend. She took great care of them, communicated well, and was really charming and sweet and easy to work with. We will definitely be using her again soon!”

About: I have been an animal lover for life and a dog owner for two years. Before that I have been a dog sitter several times in the UK, where I am from. I have regularly cat-sit for a family, which included taking the little feline out on walks in her harness! I love doing training with my own dog, (who is steadily becoming more well behaved!) and would be happy to incorporate training into my visits with yours. I am a very active person and can play ball, run, and walk with dogs. I know the importance of mental stimulation. I am currently available most days, with the exception of Wednesdays. I am an artist and market vendor, and I am able to adjust my schedule much of the time to fit in with your needs. I am happy to walk dogs and do check-ins at your home. I am a careful and cautious person and will follow instructions given as closely as I can.

“Natasha was amazing with our senior pup! She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures and updates during our trip. I would highly recommend her as your next pet sitter!”

“Johnny was just fantastic!! So friendly and he kept in contact throughout my entire trip, sent video and pictures, watered plants and picked up mail! Will definitely ask again!!”

Elizabeth R.

“Kathleen was a great help taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town overnight! She was very communicative with updates and photos and was comfortable with giving oral meds. We would highly recommend her and hope to book her again soon. Thanks again Kathleen!”

Jody L.

“Taylor was great. The dogs loved her and she did all we asked with regards to their care. And my wife really appreciated the pics and updates she sent. We will definitely call her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

Rich B.

“Highly recommend Michelle! From the moment we met, she was kind, courteous, and professional. When we did the meet & greet she was prompt and we loved that she also made it a point to connect with our two pups during that time as well. While we were away, Michelle was respectful of our home and she took amazing care of our pups - she followed all instructions well and was really attentive and engaged with them. She was caring, playful, and made sure they were always well-attended. We also love the way she shared updates and photos, she’s really communicative and responsive. She’s such a nice lady! Looking forward to working with her again soon!”

About: Well I have quite a few experiences with pets, especially dogs… I currently work part-time at a doggy daycare/boarding facility where I am the closing lead at. Before the job I work at currently, I had worked at another doggy daycare/boarding facility where it had let me gain the experience I needed to hop into my position at my current job. Also on the side I have pet sat for some friends and family friends… along with all of that I do have my own dog, her name is Goose and she is a rescue! Goose and I have had a long journey of ups and downs dealing with making her more confident in the word, which really sparked an interest in training and rehabilitating dogs. I have yet to get my certifications for training, but they’re coming soon I care for pets on the regular, whether it be at work for 8 hours a couple days a week of at the end of the day with my dog. I care for animals most part of my days, even if I am at my friends house, you will see me attached to their cat/dog I deal with a bunch of pets with a bunch of needs. At work, we have dogs that need medicine at a timely manor or they have specific meals that need to be prepped. So far i’ve dealt with a bunch of specific pet needs, that I feel like I could easily adapt to any new pets.

“It was our first time using a house sitter so I was nervous, especially with an anxious pup. Jennifer was so communicative, gentle, and kind that we were able to relax and have a wonderful long overdue vacation. I will ask her to assist with my pup in the future.”

Trisha B.

“Allie helped us last minute. She was very communicative to every message I sent, and overall was fantastic! We will definitely be asking for her help in the future!”

Michelle M.

“Skye stayed at our house for 5 days watching our 2 dogs and 2 cats. She kept us updated daily with how the day went and pictures of our fur babies. Our kitties were even low on food and she went and picked some up for them! When we got back the house was in even better shape then we left it in. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! We will definitely be booking with her again ?”

Brittany W.

“Angel took such amazing care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. She was communicative, sweet and responsible! We would absolutely have Angel back!”
