House Sitting in Monkton

“Mina house/dog sat for me for the first time last week and was just terrific. My pups seemed so comfortable, Mina sent me loads of pix and was super responsive to me if I needed to reach her. I came home to a clean and tidy house and two happy pups, couldn't ask for more! Thanks Mina and hope to work with you again soon!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life — I grew up in a home full of pets and was responsible for their daily care from a young age. As an adult, I’ve always had animals (dogs and cats) of my own and have experience with pets at every life stage. Most recently, I lovingly cared for my senior dog who passed away at 17, so I’m very familiar with the patience and attention that older dogs often need. I’m active and love going for walks, but I’m just as happy to relax and keep a pet company. I’m responsible, punctual, and committed to following your pet’s routine closely. I currently have one dog of my own and am fostering another. I I currently work part-time, Tues-Thursday. I'm available for walks or check-ins Friday-Monday. During my breaks (I work at a school), like holidays and the summer, I am available any day! I can also do evenings Tues-Thursday. I offer care in my clients homes - both check-ins and walks. My own house is a bit chaotic with kids and animals, so I'm not offering care in my own home. I will be diligent in following all instructions when taking care of your pets and will also be respectful of your home!

“Ivah did a great job. He was patient with a dog that although nice is initially worrisome of strangers. He kept us informed, was respectful of our home and we would definitely recommend him and use him again. Great Job!!!”

“I was able to enjoy my vacation while Brooke looked after my Lola and Grace. She sent videos and pictures and kept me well informed about how the girls were doing. I will definitely call on Brooke again for my pets' needs.”

“Haile was absolutely wonderful! She connected with my dog so easily, and you could tell right away that she truly loves animals. My dog felt comfortable with her from the start, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was attentive, caring, and communicative throughout the entire time.”

“Connor took great care of everything while we were away. He sent lots of updates and pictures of happy pups. We will definitely ask Connor back the next time we travel.”

“Zana was wonderful. She communicated with me throughout with ease. She sent photos and was an excellent sitter with my pup and kitties. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life, and have done some dogsitting and dog walking before. I’ll admit it’s been a bit since I had to focus on school work for my psych degree, but now that I have to wait till fall for grad school, I figured now is the time to help out some furry friends! I’m an animal lover at heart and am not only interested in, but willing to help with any accommodations! Our pets deserve the best after all! :) I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I have plenty of time for any pet care. I tend to be more of a night owl so I can help cats when they’re more active at night. I tend to work best with detailed instructions. I don’t want to disturb any routine and want the animal to feel as comfortable as possible.

About: While I may not have much professional experience I have owned a variety of pets my entire life from dogs and cats to bunnies and squirrels! I even interned at a veterinary office. I currently work a full-time job but I am looking to fill my time with pet care during the evenings after 4 and all day during the weekends. I am aware of dogs and cats body language and by understand them, I can better help support their needs. I can redirect when necessary and calm energetic behavior.

About: Aside from pet sitting since I was 16, I have two years of shelter work and two years as a vet assistant where I have administered medications, been on seizure watch with epileptic patients, helped deliver puppies and also worked with dogs who had behavioral issues due to rough pasts. I also have helped take care of very elderly and senior dogs and understand the time and care they need, as well as helping with dogs going through their first heat cycle. I currently work very part time, mostly every other weekend with a break in between as well as taking classes, two of which are online, but am typically very flexible for things such as walks and play time. My goal is to make sure all dogs I sit get at least one hour of playtime a day, obviously adjusted for energy level. I am also available to do overnight care for more senior dogs or dogs that need medications at specific times, as well as dogs that do better having someone in the home. My biggest rule when I do overnights is to make sure the house is completely secure before I go to sleep. Your pets safety is my number one priority . I have been trained by my job on how to handle multiple pet emergencies, including seizures, overheating and injuries. As someone who has owned and worked with dogs dealing with joint problems, I make sure to prevent any falls or accidents by keeping the dog in safe areas as well as monitoring activity.

“We booked Katie to stay with our girl for our 9 day vacation June 18th. She was great, gave us updates everyday with pictures. She responses very quickly . She made us feel very comfortable being away. I would highly recommend her. Katie is the best!”

About: I have taken care of all different types of dogs for varying amounts of time and looking forward to taking care of many more ! As a college student, I’m hoping to take care of your furry friend over breaks and weekends here and there when I am free ! I love a schedule and organization so if you give me instructions, I am all over that! I will try my hardest to stick to your dog’s routine!

“Bronte was WONDERFUL. We had a bit of a situation with a raccoon and our dog while outside in our fenced yard. Raccoon was looking to have our dog as a meal but Bronte was able to get the dog inside safely and alerted us immediately. Bronte was very patient and loving with our dog, will definitely call upon her again.”

About: Hi there! I’m someone who truly believes dogs make life better. I’ve had dogs in my life for 25 years, and while my own two pups are with me part time, my house feels so much fuller—and happier—when they’re around. That’s why I’m excited to open my home and my time to care for your dog as if they were my own. I’m recently divorced and building a new chapter for myself, one that centers around doing what I love: spending time with dogs. I work from home, which means I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day—walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just good company when they want to relax. I have extensive experience with large dogs, but I’m comfortable with pups of all sizes and personalities. I pride myself on being highly attentive, reliable, and communicative—I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you’ll always know how your furry friend is doing. If you’re looking for someone caring, responsible, and genuinely dog-loving, I’d be honored to be that person for you and your pet. I am an early riser who works from home so meeting the needs of your pet will be an easy addition to my current routine. I have a fully fenced back yard and a finished basement that allows plenty of space inside and out for your pet to explore, play and feel safe. I have a large dog crate if that is your preference but my dogs sleep on the couches.

About: I am a mom of two kiddos who adores all pets. A former pet momma of cats and dogs and a pet sitter for friends and family for over 10 years. Love taking hikes, playing music, and hanging with good humans and furry friends! I am currently a small business owner with flexible hours. I am available for afternoon walks on most days, pet sitting on weekdays and weekends. Happy to work within your schedule. I think the most important part of pet sitting is the trust between the owners and me. I will always take the owners lead and make sure to communicate in a timely manor.

“Kendall took great care of our bulldog (and house) while we were on vacation. Highly recommend!”

About: I work from home, have a fenced-in yard, and provide daily walks to all dogs staying with me. I'm happy to take crate-trained or free-roaming dogs, and they have constant access to the fenced-in yard for potty breaks. I have a 6-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old black lab, so all boarders MUST get along with children and other dogs. Growing up in London, I always had dogs around the house, and I am rarely happier than when snuggled up on the sofa with my own dog, Beau. From romping around the dog park, to longer walks on trails and in the woods, we have a great time together. I've sat multiple dogs in the past, most notably a friends 3, elderly, medication-taking, 90+ pound labs for a week while she was in Hawaii. In the past, I've worked as a Dog Trainer, so I'm perfectly capable and willing to handle dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I love being able to share the benefits of my skill sets with others while walking or looking after their dogs. I work from home, and walk my own dog at least once a day (twice when it's nice out) for at least a mile+. He eats on set meal times, but I can easily accommodate dogs that graze throughout the day. I have a fenced-in yard, and a 10-year-old black lab mix of my own. I have a six-year-old who is excellent with dogs of all shapes and sizes and has been around dogs her whole life.

“Amazing house sitter, responsible and communicative! We had Jeff stay at our house for a week with our elderly pitbull and energetic saluki. Jeff took great care of our boys and our house and kept us updated the whole time. He is friendly and professional, 10/10 would reccommend!”

“Kerri did an amazing job with our dog who requires daily medication for seizures. She actively communicated with us during our trip with updates and pictures. She left our home in great condition, very neat and tidy. I would highly recommend her for any other family”
