Dog Sitting Monument

About: Animal lover, I've been surrounded by dogs all my life and have worked with many pets in the past as a vet technician intern. Any dog in my care will be safe and happy. I will love to take care of your furry friend during their stay as long as needed. I also enjoy doing grooming and can provide basic grooming if requested during the stay. Meet and greets are encouraged and can be scheduled according to your schedule. I like to board no more than 2 pets at a time to ensure the best stay for your pet. Availability during weekdays are (mornings and afternoons for drop ins/pick ups) and weekends (all day but please schedule a time). I am flexible and able to accommodate according to your schedule if needed. I will take care of your dog as if were my own. They will receive lots of love, attention and exercise. I have a labradoodle who will be a great companion during your pets stay, She spends most of the time roaming around the house but is also crate trained for when needed.

About: Animals have always been one of the biggest joys in my life. I’ve spent years caring for pets of all ages and personalities - from playful kittens and energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and love. In addition to having my own wonderful pack at home, I’ve fostered animals for the Humane Society and volunteered with local rescues. Those experiences have taught me that every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and what help them feel safe and happy! I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and cats and understand the gentle care, patience, and attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, medication or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, Ill care for them as if they were my own. I am a stay at home mom to two boys, I stay very active outside and I am always around for you pets needs. Pet care is a perfect fit for my schedule. I understand having a stranger in your home can be stressful. I think a meet and greet before had is a great idea to put you and your animals at ease. I am very respectful of your space and home.

“Amanda was super great! Highly recommend! They came over every day at the scheduled time and made sure Wheezy Cats food and water were topped off and gave him treats and lots of pets. He is super slow to warm up to other people but they got lap cuddles on day 2! Which is an accomplishment, you can tell they are big animal lovers. I was able to add a day on last minute and they also refilled the house humidifiers for me which was really nice of them! I’ll be using them again when I have to be out of town. Thank you for taking such good care of my Cat BFF and my little Betta Fish !!”

About: I am a seasoned, responsible, gregarious, fun-loving cat/dog lady with full day availability and weekends to take care of your pet needs like they were my own. I get up with my puppy everyday feed and play a game with then take him on a morning walk. If I run some errands, he is crate trained (by me) and has some quiet time but when I get home, we normally take another walk and play a game in the backyard that requires him to run around. I also take him out multiple times a day for potty breaks. I live on a one-acre property with a fenced in yard. I have a 3 year old Labradoodle (Lincoln) with all his shots and he is very good and well socialized with other animals.

“Troy was great with my dogs. I received updates and photos from each visit. Very much appreciated”

About: I've been around animals my whole life. Growing up, my family had golden retrievers, a lab/malamute mix, five cats, and even horses and goats, so I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities. In my adult life, I've owned, trained and cared for a bloodhound/coonhound mix as well as our current Australian/German Shepherd. Feeding, litter boxes, medications, and daily routines are second nature. Our Australian/German shepherd mix is super anxious, which has helped me to be a patient caretaker who knows how to read a nervous pet and build trust slowly. I'm also experienced with basic obedience and giving medications. I'm active and love being outdoors, so dogs get whatever suits them best: neighborhood walks, trail hikes, runs, playtime, light training sessions, or a lazy day on the couch. I skip dog parks because they can be unpredictable. You can expect prompt, proactive communication and regular photo updates, so you never have to wonder how things are going. I work remotely. During a house sit I'm at your home for most of the day and can let your dog out, walk them, and keep them company throughout. I may have a couple of hours of family commitments some mornings, and I'll always tell you upfront and plan around your pet's needs. I'm available for holidays and longer stays and can usually adjust my schedule with one to three days of notice. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks in your home and neighborhood, and I follow your rules, whatever they are. Before any stay, I'd like a meet and greet so your pet and I can get comfortable and so I can learn their routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any triggers. Dog walks are always on a secure leash, and I keep gates, doors, and windows closed so there are no prison breaks. I'll respect your household rules on furniture, crates, and where your pets sleep. Your home is treated with care, and I won't bring guests, my own dog, or my kids. I have a local vet and I'll follow your emergency plan if anything comes up. If anything seems off, I'll contact you right away. I take aggressive dogs on a case-by-case basis after talking with you first and meeting him or her to see if there's a fit.

About: Hiya! I’m Sharon, animal lover and friend to all creatures big and small! I grew up taking care of everything from dogs to cats, fish, anoles, rabbits, birds, and guinea pigs. I have a special bond with my elderly family dog and have just finished fostering Chloe, a high energy anxious kitty belonging to my friend. I have plenty of experience with basic training, redirection, harness and carrier training, and oral and topical medicine administration. I hope to be your pet’s second favorite human!! I currently work part time as I prepare for law school, so I have lots of flexibility to focus on pet care! I love to schedule some hikes and trail runs into my week, so I’m always happy to give your pet a fun run! I am always happy to have a meetup before watching your pets to see if we all get along! I am attentive to animal body language and am good at making sure any dog or cat doesn’t get to the point of lashing out. I can assist with redirection or other training if needed. If your pets have any specific needs or you have restrictions or concerns, I’m open to chatting and seeing if my services can align with your needs!

About: I have provided consistent dog sitting services throughout 2023, working with repeat clients and building reliable routines with the pets in my care. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including puppies under one year old and senior dogs, as well as both large and small breeds. I have experience caring for cats. I also have experience caring for: hedgehogs, reptiles, horses, chickens, and ducks. In addition to pet care, I regularly handle house sitting responsibilities such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and maintaining a clean, secure home. I focus on being dependable, attentive, and respectful of both your pets’ needs and your home. I am currently working part time - three days a week - but am still able to dog-sit during those parts of the week as well. Fridays-Mondays I can be present most of the day and will only be gone 4 hours at a time. I care for pets in their home by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I adjust care based on each pet’s age, energy level, and needs. I also keep the home tidy and secure, and can provide updates as requested.

About: I have loved being around dogs my whole life. From having our own family dogs or dog sitting for friends and family, I have been around both large and small dogs and love them all. outside of my school schedule, i have pretty open availability to abide to your pets needs, i do also have large gaps in between my classes so care during the school day should be no issue! i am not able to have animals at my house but am very experienced with pet care, i have cared for pets with sicknesses and diseases as well as pets with tons of energy!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12, I currently have 3 of my own. I have been doing animal behavior and training courses for eight years, and understand the best ways to make a dog feel comfortable and confident. I have worked with puppies all the way to senior dogs. I am also comfortable working with reactive dogs (to an extent). My own dog is reactive, and I know the best methods to keep a dog focused and safe during a high stress event. I will always do my best to keep the routine your animals have, as change can be stressful to them. I am a hybrid student so I am extremely flexible and able to come spend as much time as needed with your pet(s). I can accommodate almost any needs! Making sure a dog is safe is the number one priority. I will always ask your dogs comfort level around strangers, new dogs, cars, squirrels… and so on. This will allow me to tailor my care to ensure your dog gets the best experience possible and you don’t have to worry about anything happening.

“Heidi was awesome! She was very gentle and patient with my senior dog. I will definitely be using Heidi again!”

About: I’ve built a deep bond with animals through my farm upbringing. Back home in Washington, I grew up on 100 acres of land where I cared for livestock with my loyal dog, Avery, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, always by my side. We spent hours running, hiking, and playing frisbee together and she was my adventure partner and best friend. I took full responsibility for her care when my parents were away, from feeding her to making sure she felt loved and active. That kind of connection with dogs isn’t something you can teach, it’s lived, and I bring that same level of care and love to every dog I meet. Message me and we can work out a schedule for both of us! I would love to dedicate that day to caring for or walking pets. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency. I follow the pet’s routine closely-feeding times, walks, play, and downtime to make sure they feel secure and relaxed. I give them space when they need it and attention when they want it, making sure they’re never stressed or overwhelmed. I’m tidy, respectful of the home, and always make sure water bowls are full, litter boxes or yards are clean, and pets get the love and care they deserve. I treat every pet like family, because that’s how I’d want mine treated too.

About: I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog's individual needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or prefers a slower pace and extra reassurance, I'll adapt my care to what works best for them. I've cared for dogs with different temperaments, including one with height anxiety, so I'm comfortable staying calm and adjusting my approach to help dogs feel safe and secure. My time at military college and volunteer work ant Zoos also strengthened my discipline, responsibility, and attention to detail—qualities I bring to every visit. You can count on me to follow your instructions carefully, communicate with you, and treat your pet with the same kindness and respect I'd want for my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. I have three dogs of my own, including two puppies I'm currently raising and training, so I'm used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving them the attention they need. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, not just something I fit into my schedule. I'm also a part-time college student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I make it a priority to be dependable, communicate with owners, and ensure every pet receives the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own dogs. I care for every pet with patience, consistency, and kindness. I know that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to understand what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether it's going for a walk, playing their favorite game, providing fresh food and water, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they're getting the attention and care they deserve. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise routines, and any special requests. I also pay close attention to a dog's body language and behavior so I can respond to their needs and help them feel comfortable. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel confident, relaxed, and cared for while you're apart.
