House Sitting in Oaklawn

About: Hi all! I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, but I officially started fostering 5 years ago! I have plenty of experience with senior pets, puppies/kittens, and disabled pets as well. I also have experience working in a vet clinic so I’m very comfortable administering oral medications and have experience handling reactive dogs and spicy kitties! I have 2 furry friends of my own that mean the absolute world to me. Neptune is a 3 years old Lab/basset hound mix I adopted in 2023 and Angel is my sweet kitty girl that has grown with me since 2017. I'm available 7 days a week now for any drop-ins, walks, and/or sitting as needed! I currently do not work as I am going back to school (online) full-time, so I have plenty of time for all the furry friends! While I don't have a fenced in yard, I do live in a very pet friendly and walkable neighborhood and will always ensure pets leashes are secure before all walks/outside time. I have a 3 year old lab retriever mix who is very friendly with all animals and an indoor only cat who keeps to herself, unless she wants cuddles of course! I have experience in puppy training, specifically with crate training and leash walking, from fostering pups in the past.

“Caitlyn had a big job watching 2 dogs, a cat and chicks, hen, and two turkeys. All were well cared for and I did not worry!! They were in good hands!! She sent me pics of dogs too!! Thank you!! You can rest assured she will do a great job!!”

“Lauren was an amazing house sitter! Responsible and reliable, respectful of our rules/routines with the dogs and took great care of them and our home while we were out of town.”

“Makayla loves animals and it is apparent when you see her interact with them. Maverick is a puppy and she did a great job playing with him. Sia, the cat came out to see her (which doesn't always happen) and Shandy loved her as well. She took good care of my house and it looked the same when I came home as when I left it. Thank you Makayla!”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with German Shepherds and have cared for a wide variety of pets over the years, including cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and more. My lifelong experience has taught me that every animal has its own personality, needs, and routines—and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each one. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm and reliable companion, I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to them. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. From energetic dogs to shy cats and small animals, my goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Scheduling & Availability I recently relocated to the area and currently have open availability, which gives me the flexibility to help with everything from daily walks and drop-in visits to overnight stays and last-minute bookings. I understand that life can be unpredictable, and I do my best to accommodate your schedule while providing reliable, loving care for your pets. Pet Care in Your Home At this time, I provide care exclusively in your pet's home. I recently relocated, and I find that caring for pets in their familiar environment allows them to stay comfortable, maintain their normal routines, and experience less stress while you're away. By caring for your pets in their own home, I can ensure they receive personalized attention, exercise, companionship, and consistent care in a place where they feel safe and secure.

“Jenn and Diana were awesome! Our pups were very well taken care of and had lots of fun playing. I received lots of fun pictures and videos while we were away. Jenn and Diane were the best!!!”

“We didn't know Hailey before booking her on Rover, but we will definitely use her to watch our dog again. Our dog is high-energy and high-maintenance (he has to be watched carefully because he chews/eats everything!), but Hailey was easy-going and seemed to genuinely appreciate our dog (and all his quirks!). She was easy to communicate with and did everything we asked.”

Dana K.

“Brandy is amazing. I can not say enough good things about her. She is so professional and such a sweet soul. She stayed with our babies for 8 days so we could actually have a vacation. She sent updates and photos numerous times during the day. As an anxious person I was able to relax during our trip not worrying about the pups as she made me feel so at ease. The pups loved her as well. And that was super special that my us. And I’m pretty sure the house was cleaner than we left it. We will absolutely use her again. So so happy with our experience working with her.”

Jennifer S.

“My pups took to Aiden really quickly. I appreciated being able to leave them with someone they trusted as much as I did. I had peace of mind knowing they were in good hands.”

About: Ever since I was a young lad, I've had 2 cats that I still take care of to this day. I've also been taling care or my parents' dogs not super long ago. I always try my best to help your pets! I'm available at anytime! I should be available at anytime unless I note it somewhere in my profile. Also available at day and night anyday. I always try my best to follow the owner's instructions on how to take care of their pets no matter how I feel about them.

“I’m more than happy with Alysse’s service! Het attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly demeanor truly made a difference in my cats & my experience. The care and effort she puts into making sure everything was perfect. Her dedication to her work is evident, and it did not go unnoticed. Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure that I was satisfied with the service. 🙏🏾”

Hernando J.

“It was our first time having someone housesit for our 2 dogs and Alex was great at alleviating any worries and making sure the pups were taken care of while we were gone. She did frequent check-ins and walked them daily. She was also kind enough to take of some housekeeping items which we appreciate so much! We plan on using her services again!”

Grace C.

“We left our dog and cat with Tony for 2 weeks and He sent us photos almost everyday When we came back from our vacation we saw both healthy, and Tony took care even of the house 100% approved and for sure we will call him again in the future”

About: With over two years of experience house sitting for friends and family—often for extended periods—I’ve earned a strong reputation for being dependable, respectful, and truly dedicated to the pets I care for. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from energetic puppies to gentle senior pets, and I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs, routines, and personalities. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to provide both companionship and specialized care, especially for older pets who need a little extra patience and attention. Whether it’s administering medication, sticking to a feeding schedule, or simply offering comfort and snuggles, I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is always to keep pets happy, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I am currently working part-time! But my schedule is completely up to me and flexible. The good thing about the job I work at is I get to create my own schedule! As long as I am kept in the loop with the people I provide services for dog sitting, walking, and care will always be my top priority! I treat every home and pet I care for with the same respect I’d want for my own. I always follow routines closely—whether it’s feeding, walking, or giving medication—and make sure pets stay safe by double-checking doors, gates, and anything they might get into. I’m clean, organized, and careful to leave the home just as I found it. Most importantly, I take time to understand each pet’s needs and personality so they feel comfortable, calm, and cared for while their owner is away. Trust and safety are always my top priorities!

“Madelyn was communicative, giving daily updates about River while I was gone. She took her on lots of walks and it seems my dog really got comfortable with her and cuddled a lot. I also came home to a clean house and she was respectful of my space while she was there! I am excited to use Madelyn again in the future.”

Kristen S.

Raeanne W.

Sadie S.

“Elizabeth was great to work with. I would hire her again.”

“Nathaniel was great. He updated us with videos each day and let us know how how our pup did. She has anxiety in new spaces so having Nathaniel stay in our space was great.”

Jessica H.

“Everything was great! Mary took great care of my babes and everyone seemed happy! She was very responsive to any texts, and requests for photos. 10/10 will hire her again!”
