House Sitting in Nelson

About: I've cared for dogs since I was 11, caring for my childhood dog all the way to age 16. I have 4 year and counting working in the veterinary field. I'm comfortable caring for older and more medically complex friends if needed. I recently moved to Michigan from Maryland and am settling in to the new normal. I'm currently working part-time and Im very flexible and open through the week, especially holidays. I currently have two cats and a dog and I'm always happy to call another one part of my family. I hope, beyond providing for their basics, I'm able to get to know your pet.

“Alana was wonderful to work with! She was very responsive and communicative throughout the stay, sending daily updates and photos which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She took great care of our pets and helped them feel comfortable. She also left the house very clean, even doing more than we would’ve expected. She was also incredibly flexible when our travel plans changed due to flight issues. We’d definitely recommend her and would love to work with her again!”

“Our dogs love Sydney. There are happy, fed and well played with when we come home. We’d recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter at your house.”

“Madeline (Cat) is so incredible! She goes way above and beyond! She truly cares for our dogs and makes sure to keep them safe, monitor their health and happiness, and convey any concerns throughout her stay with them. We feel completely secure with her watching them for us!”

“Heather was a delight to meet. She was responsive, sent several pet photos, and left an update note. she took Bijou on a couple of walks and played with the kitties. The house was in good shape and the pets seemed happy when I returned. I would definitely ask Heather to watch my furry kids again.”

“My babies are my children and I’m a nervous wreck about leaving them with anyone just for a few hours, let alone a 9 day trip! Shannon stayed in my home and cared for my three animals the whole time and I couldn’t be more happy with how she cared for them. We even have a pet camera and were able to check in from time to time and she treated my home respectfully, my animals as her own, and kept in contact with me as much as I needed! She was never annoyed at how much I wanted to keep in contact, respected how I wanted my animals cared for and just followed through with everything. I truly can’t say enough great things about Shannon and will be using her to care for our babies as long as she’s willing! Shannon is extremely flexible, kind, so so sweet, and a huge animal lover. My animals loved her and clung to her from the second they met and I just couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for them! I truly could go on forever with how pleased I am. Absolutely recommend!”

About: I currently sit on a board of directors and volunteer with my boyfriend at a local animal rescue. I have experience giving pets medication and taking care of pets with special needs (one of my pets is special needs!). I currently work Saturday-Tuesday remotely and a flexible, in person schedule Wed-Friday. My schedule is designed for flexibility, so I can easily meet the needs of you and your fur baby! I have over 15 years experience caring for dogs and over 7 caring for cats. I treat others’ pets as if they were my home. I am available 24/7 and love to message photos and videos to the pet owner. If I have questions or concerns, I will always reach out to you!

“Hannah was quick to respond and was a life saver for my husband and I. We thought we had someone ready to go and they had to cancel last minute. Hannah came over and learned the nitty gritty of taking care of our very needy German shepherd (poor dog is on a lot of medications). She was sending texts and pictures all day of the animals. She had to stay at our home and she treated our home with respect. Would definitely book her again. Thanks Hannah.”

“Cindy was fantastic! She went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby felt comfortable while we were away. She was professional, punctual and made us feel 100% at ease while we were away. Highly recommended ❤️”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I’ve been 14 years old. I’ve had experience with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I have a passion for animals and love to make them feel part of my family. I’m currently in respiratory school while working a part-time job, which has helped me develop strong responsibility and time-management skills. I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for them whenever I can. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I accept cats and dogs that are able to stay in the comfort of their own homes. I feel like as someone with animals the safest place an animals can feel is when they’re in the comfort of their own homes.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover currently living with my two dogs, Chip and Theo. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments through house visits and dog walking, so your pet is in good hands. I always send updates and make it a priority to make sure every pet feels as comfortable as my own.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I work in tech so I’m home frequently, meaning your pet won’t be left alone for long. I have a spacious two bedroom apartment in a nice complex with a park area right outside, perfect for walks and fresh air.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ When hosting pets in my home, I make sure they have plenty of space and feel comfortable. I have a two bedroom apartment in a dog friendly complex with a park area right outside, so there is always somewhere to walk and get fresh air. They are never cooped up and I am home frequently so they get consistent attention throughout the day. When doing house visits or drop ins, I stick to the pet’s routine as much as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter, and make sure they have everything they need. I always keep the owner updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is in good hands.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

About: When I have been a sitter in the past I was in charge of admitting medication few times a day. Feed dogs separates if they had special feedings. I also did overnight stays up to 5 days. I also walked the dogs a couple times a day. I also have watched up to four dogs at a time. I currently very open at this point in time. My availability will be everyday from 10am on to10 p.m. and every weekend I am also available, but my hours are more flexible. A family-friendly pet environment. We also have fur babies here to keep company. We also have four kids for extra love and attention and outside play. We do not have a fenced yard and I also live by a busy one-way

About: What sets me apart is that I focus on being consistent, attentive, and calm with every pet I care for. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual routine and personality, so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I’m also patient with different needs, whether that’s energetic puppies who need structure and playtime or older pets who may need a slower pace and extra care. I make sure communication with pet owners is clear and reliable so they always know how their pet is doing. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I’m very organized and consistent with my schedule. I’m comfortable handling feeding, walking, cleaning, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so fitting pet care into my weekly routine feels rewarding rather than stressful. I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and cared for by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home or a client’s home, I focus on feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and giving them attention and companionship. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level to make sure they’re happy and stress-free. If the owner has specific instructions, I always follow them carefully to make sure their pet receives the best care possible.

“Makayla did a wonderful job caring for my two dogs for an extended time. Will be using her services again since they loved her as a dogsitter.”

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 12. I was frequently in charge of feeding, grooming, walking, and training her as well as administering medications. I’m working part time on the weekends but I’m available all the time Monday through Thursday. On weekends I usually work up to 3 4 hour shifts so I still have time to take care of pets! I always keep a close eye on animals to make sure they are happy and healthy. I am always on top of cleaning any messes they may make.

“Kumar was amazing. Very young and took a huge responsibility of watching my babies for an emergency trip to Texas. He came even though I did not have a long time for the trip. Watched and took care of my art babies! Very much worth going on rover for. I could have kenneled them but they have anxiety. Boi, had the worst anxiety and constantly whines. But he had no issues and that gave me peace of mind and soul! If we ever need to go anywhere, he will be the first person I call thru rover! Thank you!”
