House Sitting in McBain

“I feel so lucky to have found Michelle: she is a delightful, friendly lady and all three of my dogs (two of whom are typically very shy around new people) took to her immediately at our initial meet and greet. She took great care of our pups while we were at an event; they were so calm and happy when we returned that it was easy to see they had a great time with her. She was very flexible and accommodating in that she had no problem sitting from the late afternoon until the very early morning hours when we returned. Best of all, she forwarded several fantastic pictures of our dogs--so much better than any in our collection and a great surprise. She's a truly gifted animal photographer in addition to being a kind, gentle dog sitter!”

“Sally was amazing. She watched our extremely anxious dog while we got married up north. She sent updates and made me feel so much at ease. Couldn’t be more grateful!!”

“Amy was an amazing sitter! I felt completely at ease having her in my home with my dogs, who absolutely adored her. She kept me updated throughout their stay, sent lots of pictures, and even handled a tornado warning, making sure the dogs were safe and secure. I would highly recommend her and would happily have her sit again in the future!”

I offer daily walks and multiple catch and throw opportunities daily.

“Erin was great with our German Shepherd Tug and Jo Jo our Min Pin. Always made sure they had exercise. Played fetch with Tug in our Creek. Always let us know how the day went, sent pictures and videos. Erin also was house sitting, the house was spotless when we got home. Thank you Erin for taking care of our fur babies and home. Paulette and Pat 🐾🐾”

About: The majority of my family life was spent with furry companions. I grew up with dogs and cats, and have love for all animals. I will provide excellent care, and adhere/follow all rules and guidelines you set forth, as well as exceptional communication on my end. I’m looking forward to caring for your furry family members! I am an actor and photographer, and avid nature lover. This allows for a flexible schedule that can be perfectly balanced with pet care. So your pets needs will come first while keeping to a stress free presence. Caring for your animals in your home will be done precisely as you request. I definitely maintain enough play and attention to make sure your pet feels happy and safe. Other than that: you set the guidelines and I shall follow.

“Vesta took great care of our and cats at our home. She sent photos of all of them and kept us updated when she arrived and left. It was awesome that she came to meet them before the booking so we knew they’d be comfortable with her. Pepperoni thanks you for the couch snuggles, Vesta!”

“Fran treated our dogs like her own! She was wonderful about keeping us informed. We came back to our house being better than we left it and two very happy dogs!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for more than half my life. Which has grown into building my own passion serving animals in many ways. I care for animals locally, will travel up to 50 miles, can provide care inside your home, provide walks, give rides to the vet office or groomer, I can give medications, bathe your animal in your home, and I can provide fun fulfilling adventures and activities! With having a flexible schedule I can focus on providing quality care to your pet/pets. 7 days a week with flexible morning, afternoon and evening hours. I’m able to care for pets inside of your home. Rather this needs to be letting them out into a fenced in yard, walking them off property or on property, taking them out of or putting them into a crate/ kennel. Crate cleanup if needed and dog poo cleanup from your yard each time I have a visit.

“Patty did an excellent job. The dogs were happy and the house was clean. She also bought the dogs more bones and pumpkin topping for their food.”

Marcia B.

“Jordan was the perfect dog sitter. She updated us on how our dog was doing daily, took him on walks, and spent quality time with him. She even shoveled our driveway. We will definitely use here again in the future when the need comes.”

About: ’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals for many years. Since around age 12, I’ve regularly helped care for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. During that time I’ve provided feeding, walking, bathing, pet sitting, playtime, and general daily care. I also have experience helping with basic training and working with dogs who were preparing for adoption, which helped me learn how to work with different personalities, energy levels, and comfort needs. Most recently, I’ve been volunteering at a local animal shelter for over 4 months. In this role, I assist with a variety of responsibilities including walking dogs, bathing, playtime and enrichment, administering medications when needed, transporting animals, and helping with overall animal care at the shelter. Working with animals in both home and shelter environments has given me experience with pets of different temperaments, and I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always do my best to provide reliable, attentive care. If you’re looking for someone dependable who genuinely cares about animals, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I’m currently in an on call sort of situation, so my schedule is very flexible! I ask that we at least get a few days advance notice due to a fluctuating schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. Through my experience caring for pets and volunteering at a local animal shelter, I’ve worked with animals of many different temperaments and understand the importance of patience, awareness, and safe handling. I always make sure pets are secure on walks, monitored during playtime, and given plenty of attention and care. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have for feeding, medications, routines, or training. I believe communication is very important, so I’m glad to send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Regan was great with Ellie. She came over to meet in advance and was great with updates while we were away. Having a responsible pet sitter so close to home is going to be a godsend.”

“Aliya took great care of our dogs and our home. Highly recommend her. She followed my directions with care and communicated with me while I was gone.”

“Kara did an excellent job of looking after Chewy. He was well cared for and loved. Kara provided good communication and updates while we were away. Thank you again!”

“Ashley was a perfect fit for us. She was able to come meet our stranger adverse dog before the stay. She was able to stay with our dog while we were away and kept us informed, with pictures. She was respectful of our space, our dog, and us. We look forward to using her again.”

Alison T.

“I cannot say enough good things about Kristen. She was amazing. Throughout my vacation I received frequent communication (pictures and info) which was very much appreciated. My dog has a history of seizures and unfortunately had 2 while we were gone. Kristen did exactly as we instructed and handled them like a pro. She kept our house spotless and left it exactly how it was when we left. We will be using her anytime we travel in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone.”
