House Sitting Minot

“Erin took excellent care of our dog Arthur for a long weekend. She was communicative before the stay and arrived on time. She sent texts and picture updates throughout the stay, and she left our home so neat and clean it was like no one had even stayed there. We would highly recommend Erin for her dog sitting services.”

About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But, so rambunctious for their first 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. Pet first aid and CPR certified. I am currently on a full time job hunt in marketing analytics and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can search and do freelance work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.

“Wow!!! How lucky are we to have found Allegra!!! She is AMAZING!! Allegra stayed with our dog, Koko, at our house for three weeks while we were away on vacation. Koko is a smart and gorgeous covid rescue who is still leery of strangers and remains fearful of being given away. She is very much attached at the hip … to just us … so we were worried about how she would do with a stranger. Flash forward, there was no need to worry! Allegra connected with Koko right away… which is no small feat! Allegra gained Koko’s trust in no time. Like us, she took Koko on varied daily adventures… to cranberry bogs, beaches and state parks. Bottom line is … Koko absolutely adores Allegra and I think the feeling is mutual! Allegra is kind, respectful, conscientious, and communicative. She sent us lots of pictures documenting how much fun she and Koko were having together. Plus, she took wonderful care of our home! We arrived home to a happy dog and an immaculate house! Allegra obviously takes pride in doing a great job and we are tickled pink that she kept up our daily routines with Koko. We will definitely request Allegra in the future. She will ALWAYS be our first choice!”

“Kat is awesome! She was quick to respond to messages and showed our dogs so much love. We got so many adorable pics while we were away. Our 2 pups and our house were clearly in great hands while we were away this weekend. I would recommend Kat to anyone and will definitely book her again. Thank you for being so good to our babies!”

“Pam is awesome! Very responsive and an excellent communicator. I was nervous about leaving our kitten in someone else’s care but she put us right at ease and took excellent care of our kitty and our home. I would love to have her take care of our pets again anytime!!”

“Nicole was a wonderful house sitter. We have two GSPs and they loved her. She exercised them enough to keep them happy and noted when they needed a rest (because they won’t stop). She provided lots of love and cuddles (which they also need 🥰) and sent us many pics showing them happy and relaxed. Additionally, she left the house spotless - I couldn’t have asked for a better feeling walking in the door. Highly recommend her and will definitely get on her future schedule!”

“Avery took great care of our animals and home while we were away! Both of our dogs needed medication and she did a great job administering both pills and eye drops. She kept an open line of communication and reached out if she ever had any concerns/questions and vice versa. Our house was pristine when we got home as well. We would hire her again. Thanks again Avery!”

“Hannah stayed at our home with our two dogs for ten days while we were on vacation. Unfortunately, one of our dogs wasn't feeling the best and Hannah was very patient and took great care of her. She provided daily updates and pictures which our whole family enjoyed. The house was left neat and in order. We would not hesitate at all to have her help us again in the future. Thank you so much, Hannah!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and will treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and get plenty of attention while in my care. I am currently enrolled in an automotive program! I am looking for a job where I can temporarily make my own schedule. I am available most days after 3:30pm, depending on location. I have availability everyday except sundays. My home is very safe for animals. I live in a douplex with other family members. I have my own floor separated from all of the animals. I live in a neighborhood where I can walk them, and I am very close to a nice walking trail as well! I do live on the third floor so animals with bad hips may not be a good fit!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing personalized care that goes beyond the basics. I understand that every pet is an individual with unique needs and quirks, and I tailor my approach to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it's patiently training puppies with positive reinforcement techniques or providing gentle, attentive care to senior dogs, I have the experience and skills to handle a variety of situations. More than just a sitter, I strive to be a trusted companion for your furry friend, offering engaging playtime, enriching activities, and plenty of cuddles. With me, you can rest assured that your pets will receive the highest level of care and attention, leaving you with peace of mind while you're away. I offer flexible availability and am currently accepting bookings Thursday through Saturday for dog walks, drop-in visits, and home boarding. My primary job has a flexible schedule, so if you have a request outside of my listed availability or need care at a specific time, please don't hesitate to reach out! I'm always happy to review requests and will do my best to accommodate your pet's needs whenever possible. Caring for pets, whether in my home or yours, begins with understanding that each animal is an individual with unique needs and preferences. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for every pet under my care. This involves removing any potential hazards, providing a cozy space for relaxation, and ensuring access to fresh food and water at all times. Regular exercise is also key, tailored to the pet's age, breed, and energy level, whether it's a brisk walk for a young pup or gentle playtime for a senior dog. Beyond the basics, I'm highly attentive to each pet's behavior and health, watching for any signs of discomfort or distress. Most importantly, I always adhere closely to the owner's instructions, ensuring that their beloved companions receive the same level of care and attention they would at home.

“Erin watched our 4 year old dog in our home while we were away and we're really happy with the level of care she provided. She made time for a meet and greet, sent us daily updates, and handled everything while we were away. We appreciated her flexibility and were glad our pup was able to stay in a familiar home. We would definitely ask Erin for her help in the future!”

“Lauren was a great dog sitter for our German shepherd mix, Nash! She was communicative, asked questions, and got along very well with Nash - he was immediately comfortable with her. Thanks Lauren!”

“Olivia was very accommodating for a last minute dog sitting request and did two meet and greets leading up to it because my dog can be nervous around new people. They clicked well immediately and it was a huge relief to leave Sadie in great hands. Sadie had a blast with Olivia and I will definitely have Olivia watch Sadie in the future!”

About: We have a large, very clean, and safe home with a big backyard. There are plenty of trails and sidewalks for walking around our house as well as a variety of parks nearby we can visit. I stay at home and will be available all day to supervise care for your dog(s). My three teenage kids will help provide care and are very responsible, loving, and diligent caretakers. Our own 2 small (4 lb) chihuahuas, Mocha & Lacey, are used to having other dogs around. When your dog(s) stay with us, you can be sure that they will be well loved, safe, and welcomed into the family as one of our own! We would be happy to keep you updated with pictures of your pet during his/her stay. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!

We have a large back yard but also love taking the dogs on walks through the nearby trails in the woods. Both my husband an I walk every day so there is plenty of opportunity for your dog to get out.

“Erika was wonderful! She house sat for our dog Titan for 10 days and kept us updated each day complete with pictures. Titan has a little separation anxiety, but he really seemed to enjoy cuddling, playing, and walking with her during her stay. We will definitely be reaching out next time we need a sitter!”

About: I have been pet setting for friends and family for the past fifteen years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each and every fur baby I come in contact with. I do not have pets of our own, so we really take this time to provide all the love and attention to your pet while we have them Spending time with me . I have grown up with dogs and cats, my entire life, and once we moved to Charlotte, have helped our neighbors tremendously while they vacation our daily walks around our community. Days are that much more fun when we have someone to bring along with us , especially since we have a dog park walking distance from our home. I can’t wait to meet your loving pet, and give it the same love and attention it deserves. I work from home, so have unlimited time to give your pet attention and take for as many walks as needed. Typically I take two walks a day, but frequently take more when pet sitting there is an enclosed porch area that are smaller dogs that we watch like to hang out on to get sun and fresh air since our yard is not fully enclosed. On weekends that we are pet sitting, we make it a point to stay local and to include your pet in any of the activities that we do around the house. We have a large yard and an enclosed porch area that we can spend time with your dog on. Within walking distance from our house, there’s a small dog park as well. I spend a lot of time outside, walking multiple times a day and would be happy to have your pet accompany. My daughter Isabella is very mature and is excellent with helping. Keep your pet entertained if that is what they prefer. For the dogs that I have sat, and are not as active, I make sure that they have the space that they need and attentive enough to understand when there needs change.
