House Sitting in New Riegel

About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large, strong dogs and older pets needing a gentler pace and I’m completely comfortable adapting to each one’s needs. Over time, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and understanding behavior are, whether that means handling high-energy walks, reinforcing routines, or helping a nervous dog feel at ease. What sets me apart is that I don’t just walk or check in and leave—I take the time to build trust, give them attention, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care and pet sitting fit seamlessly into my schedule, allowing me to be flexible and dependable for both regular visits and last-minute needs. With more availability during the current season and upcoming summer, I’m able to offer consistent care, longer visits, and more time for walks, play, and attention. This flexibility benefits clients by ensuring their pets maintain a stable routine, get extra exercise, and receive reliable, attentive care while they’re away, especially during busy travel months. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I’m respectful of your space, dependable, and treat your home and pets with the same care I give my own. When pet sitting, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things stress-free. This typically includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks or litter box care, playtime or companionship, and any medications if needed. I also do quick check-ins around the home (like making sure everything is secure) and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep everything as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.

“Monica was absolutely wonderful. She was very kind, always responsive, and kept us updated the entire time. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation because we had a great feeling about her from the very beginning. When we came back, the cats were happy — and that’s all we could ever ask for. She also sent us very cute pictures throughout the stay. Thank you so much, Monica!”

About: Even at a young age, I have seven years of skillful experience in multi-species care ranging from shelter medicine, to low-cost spay & neuter services, to currently mixed animal practice. The last five years, I have been expanding my skill set as an employed veterinary assistant. With that, I am knowledgeable when it comes to medications, pets with special conditions and needs, and capable of handling emergencies. I’m currently working full-time as a veterinary assistant at my local mixed animal practice. With that being said, I am available only in the evenings on the weekdays that I work. However, I am usually available all day on Tuesday’s, Sunday’s, and most Saturday’s. I have one dog and one cat of my own who are both wonderfully inviting and playful with other pets. I offer both crated and uncrated time for my dog, and also your pet upon request. However, both my pets usually have full access to the house at all times.

About: I connect with all animals on a personal level, taking time to understand their needs, behaviors, and quirks. I offer patient, compassionate care that goes beyond basic sitting. Every pet get the love and attention they deserve while you are away. My schedule is very flexible and can be tailored to you and your pets needs. My full time job allows me to be flexibly so I would be able to tailor me schedule to your pets needs. I care for your home with the same attention and respect I give to your pets. Keeping things cleaned, secure, and exactly as you left them. From watering plants to collecting mail and maintaining routines, I ensure peace of mind while you’re away.

“Our first time using Rover and Kim and we are pleased. She kept in touch with us and updated us with pics. The boys did well with her. Will be repeat customers.”

About: I’m experienced with all dog sizes & ages. As a former therapy dog handler, I have formal training in managing animals in a variety of settings & circumstances. I am retired and available M-Th, occasional weekends. I’m an early riser, but prefer to be home by 5:30. We can discuss schedules if further flexibility is needed. I will love and care for your furry family members in your home, take them for walks, and insure their “byproducts” are cleaned up. I’m an all animals enthusiast; dogs are my special love.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10 years old. I am not afraid of any dog no matter its size or temperament. I love every dog and I even work at a doggy daycare. I will go with their pace and with what the dog is most comfortable with I’m currently working at a doggy daycare. I am full time there and depending on the days I get off at 1pm or 7pm so I could do early mornings or late afternoons. I would prefer staying at your home because my cats aren’t very friendly with other animals. I would love walking them around town or playing with them in your yard though!

“MacKinley did a nice job with our needy cat. She commented with me several times to check in with my preferences. Lucy was happy when we got home. She even left food that my cat likes since she couldn’t use it for her own anymore. Thanks Mackinley!”

About: I had a dog growing up and now I have a cat of my own. I’m just getting started with taking care of other people’s pets! I’m off work for the summer, so I have lots of free time. I am available most times throughout the day and week. I’m looking to fill some of my free time! I would prefer to go to your home since my cat isn’t used to being around other animals. I love being outside, so walks would be perfect for me!

About: I've taken care of many different dogs since I was a kid. Family friends, coworkers, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, and play with their dogs.
