House Sitting in Middleport

About: I have loved dogs my whole life. Unfortunately (with the exception of when I was very little and one year as a teenager living with my mother) I grew up without dogs living with my father in an apartment. Getting married changed that as my wife at the time of dating had one dog and we now have 3 wonderful dogs, all rescues. We have also fostered in the past. I am passionate about rescuing dogs and dogs (and all animals) rights to a loving home free of abuse. I receive so much joy from being with dogs and have formed a strong bond with all 3 of our kids. My wife and I have no human children so the dogs are pretty much our life. As of now I am in between jobs so I have a lot of availability. I am looking for late mornings through the evening. I unfortunately cannot do overnights or earl mornings. I don't think I could do it at my house as out dogs do not always get along with others especially on their territory. I would be available to work I your home or I can provide dog walking services.

About: I have grown up around animals, as I live on a farm and we have always had dogs or cats as pets. I am very flexible as I work part time at a cafe. I am willing to drive and to take your dog to parks, on walks or hikes or runs, and even the beach if they please. I am currently raising a German Shorthaired Pointer of my own and she has become my whole world. I always feel guilty leaving her home alone during the day or when I am busy so I'd love nothing more than being able to help someone else out when they need someone to check in or relieve their dog. I am willing to work on training and obedience if that is something you are interested in.

“Sarah was absolutely AMAZING. We received picture updates every day! Our boy fell in love with her and enjoyed her company so much he almost didn't want her to leave! Will definitely book with her again in the future”

“Jennipher was amazing! I was so nervous leaving my girl with someone new but she put me ease from the moment I met her. I got updates throughout the entire stay and she even took Lu to the beach for a swim. Highly recommend and can’t wait to use her again :)”

“Jessie was fabulous with my dogs while I was gone. Communicated very well, was very respectful of my home. My dog actually had a medical issue and she handled it promptly and efficiently. She will definitely be my go-to when I need pet care, and I will also be hiring her to train my younger dog. HIGHLY recommend her, but also, she’s mine lol so check with me first. ;) seriously though she’s great, your dogs will be very well cared for by her.”

About: I have had both cats and dogs since I was a child. I always say hi to the dogs first when visiting family and friends! I work a full time job and am remote (from home) and am very flexible to fitting the needs of the potential furry friends I am given the opportunity to meet! I will follow directions to keep the animals safety and routine within their and their owners boundaries. During walks, I will respect the owner request regarding distance and interaction with other dogs, and people.

About: I absolutely adore animals but especially dogs, I worked at a dog kennel for two years, which has helped me to gain experience around dogs of any and all different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments/requirements. I have been dog sitting/walking and doing overnight stays for 3 years and take great pride in taking care of your pet as if they’re my own! I am working part time at a kennel right now, however my shifts are very short (5 hours max but typically 2.5-3 hours). I get my schedule on a week to week basis, so if you want to guarantee that I have the availability to watch your pup, let me know at least 2 weeks in advance and I will happily request off from work to help you out (please still feel free to reach out even if its less than 2 weeks in advance, I likely will still be able to help you out). Having such short shifts, im available for pop-ins and walks the majority of the day, however there should be no problem with staying overnight as my latest shift is from 8:15-9:15pm at the kennel for let out. I will care for your pet as if it’s my own to ensure their safety and enjoyment for the time I am with them, as well as making sure your home is safe while you are away. I will follow any and all instructions that are given to me to guarantee everything runs smoothly and that your pup has a great and safe time!

“It's the first time we left our rescue dogs and they loved Rebecca and were right in their routine when we got home. Thank you Rebecca! We will certainly call you again.”

“Kelsey was a great dogsitter who went above and beyond for us. She stayed at the house for 3 overnights with our 2 old lady dogs while we went to my dad's memorial. Our old lady dogs are so old that the kennel would be too much for them. Kelsey deftly handled their separate feeding requirements and kept them on their potty schedule. She made fast friends with them and they were at ease with her. She was communicative with us about her schedule and even sent fun photo updates. We trusted her and really appreciated her being there. We feel like we lucked out with Kelsey and hope to hire her again! Thank you Kelsey, from Ruby, Daisy and all of us!”

About: I have always been a pet lover, but my soft spot is definitely for dogs! I have experience at dog daycares and boarding facilities and sanctuaries/rescues. I am CPR certified. I have experience and patience with senior dogs, they deserve all the love too! I am currently looking to becoming a full time pet care specialist, I want to build a clientele here and build relationships with new dogs. A few things factor into this. Most importantly for me is knowing and understanding the pets current routine, following all instructions and any precautions-for pets safety and my own, then updating owner about stay/walk/visit.

About: As long as I can remember I’ve taken care of pets of my own and others. From dogs and cats to lizards and birds, I’ve learned a lot from years of animals being by my side. That’s why from dog walks to overnight stays, your pets are in safe, loving hands-24/7, 365 days a year. I have plenty of free time to keep any pets enriched and well cared for when you cannot. Life can be busy but I like to spend time making others happy, especially animals! I live with a large family and with my cat, Coco. I feed her 1/2 a cup of dry food in 3 meals as she is an indoor cat and often she will be given wet food as well. I enjoy keeping my friend as happy and healthy as possible since she’s like my own child.

“Jack and Emily took very good care of Riley. They spoiled her and made her comfortable as it took her a day or two to adjust to her new surroundings. Jack was good about sending pictures and updates. He even sent her home with a special treat. Thank you for watching her for us!”

“Jillian had an air of comfort and kindness from the moment I saw her at the meet and greet. She took wonderful care of our home and our boys while we were away for nearly a week. Our senior has a bit of a medical routine and she executed it perfectly. So grateful we found her!”

About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for years. I've worked with all ages and even some that needed special needs. I've bathed, fed and walked dogs for years. I only work Monday through Thursday from 5am to 4pm and I don't do much else during the weekend or the week giving me lots of time to go on walks. I'm getting a fenced yard for my dog and crate training them. If the owner wants them crated or not it's up to them and I am always flexible.

“We had a great experience with Shawna. Ali is a senior dog with some challenges but things all went as well as they could have . We were very happy with Shawna’s care of Ali which was most important. Will be calling in the future. Colleen and Gary Kogut and Ali too !!”

Colleen K.

“Absolutely made our trip more enjoyable knowing we had Mackenzie taking care of Tank! She went over and above with his care and keeping him safe and happy.”
