“we will definitely plan on using Isabella to House & Dog Sitter Hable about how to approach the dog and we trusted her with being in our home. She took the time to meet with us prior to our trip and then came back one time when we weren’t here before we left just to see how Knox our dog would react. She sent daily photos and updates which were greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend her house and dog sitting.”

About: Juno is my name! From walks and potty breaks to snuggles and playtime, I can do it all! My love for animals is infinite. I've done years of pet sitting and even worked at a pet store where I learned so much! Proper animal care is what I strive for. Working with skiddish, tough walkers, anti-social, or loud pups I am comfortable with! I grantee you and your pet(s) will be satisfied beginning to end! Currently I have open availability all week! I will have tons of free time to play, walk, feed, bathe, anything you work need me to! It is very important that your bestie is safe and sound! That being said, I don't ever lose sight of where your pet is at. If they're a little shy and hiding, I am frequently checking in on them!
“Bella was GREAT with our pup! He can be a bit of a handful from time to time and she managed his weirdness extremely well. She left our home nice and tidy as well. Will definitely be asking her to watch George again!”
About: I have experience with watching dogs and cats. I have dealt with puppies and senior dogs a like. I have had to give senior dogs pills for their health while watching them. I have dealt with puppies and potty training them. I have walked dogs before. I have plenty of time to watch and care for your dogs. I can watch them just about anytime during the week and after 1pm on the weekends. I watch pets and take them out when they need to. I can crate your dog if needed and can also feed them and clean up after them.
“Sarah was absolutely awesome watching our dg while we had to go out for the day. I felt very comfortable with her watching our Freya and she let Freya get to know her for a while. She sent us updates and pictures and for the first time I’ve ever used a house sitter or had someone watch my dog I am very pleased.”
“Evelyn was great with my pets and they enjoyed her. I got lots of cute pictures and updates. She worked great with my schedule that was based on how quickly I was driving through not good weather and we got back almost 12hrs later than intended. I came home to my house cleaner than I left it too which was a great surprise after driving 1800 miles in under 48 hours. She even watched a couple of my clients pets that had last minute bookings!”
About: I’ve owned animals my whole life. At the age of 14 I had my cat/dog boarding/daycare/grooming job. I am now 18 and am still working with dogs almost everyday! I’m currently working part-time , so I would love to spend extra time with your furr babies! I also have my own transportation to your house and back. I will have to care for pets from other people homes/My Car because I have two scary guard dogs that aren't okay with other dogs.
About: I’ve been a dog owner and foster parent my whole life. I’ve trained and owned all kinds of dogs from Jack Russels and Pomeranians to Great Danes and Golden Doodles. The relationships I build with dogs are enriching and rewarding. The innocence and desire to just be themselves is what I love about animals. I treat my new dog friends like family and I believe they prosper in a relationship that promotes their inner dog as well as setting boundaries that help the human/canine relationship prosper. I embrace the belief of calm assertive dominance and find it that dogs seem to find peace in me being in that role. I am a stay at home parent whose availability is an asset that I utilize for the sake of the animals I care for. I hope to one day befriend your best friend. I’m a stay at home father of 10 and 12 yr old boys. I raise 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 24 chickens. I have lots of flexibility to ensure the care needed for you pet. I love to spend time with animals in the environment they feel most comfortable. With my flexible schedule and the abundance of land on my property and in my locale, I know I can fit the needs of your furry friend.
