House Sitting in Oakthorpe

“Madelyn was wonderful with my dog and 2 cats. The house was all in great condition when I arrived back home. She sent pic updates during her stay and was easy to follow up with. I will be rebooking her again!”

About: I have been house/dog sitting sine the mid 1980's ( I know, a whole other century)! I have no problem staying at your place and taking care of your doggies, collecting the mail, watering your plants, or whatever keeps strangers at bay. I do have allergies to cats which is a bummer as I am a new cat-grandma but can do feedings or litter changing ( I wear a mask)- I just can't stay over. I have always had dogs in my adult life, and would love to be the "Mrs. Grandma" to your little fur baby! I work from 8am to 4pm Monday-Friday beginning Aug 8.. My evenings and weekends are free of work obligations. I do love to stay busy and explore fun things to do in and around the city or I can snuggle at home with my Winnie and a good book. I have had double knee replacements so walking dogs can be a tad difficult if it is a long journey. My dog (Winnie) has graduated to not requiring her cage during the day and a fenced in yard which she loves chasing the frisbee and tennis balls. We live near a park and Winnie loves to explore the trails. We also have a rabbit (Chip) who was originally a gift for my son and quickly became mine. Chip has an area where he resides inside but loves to be hopping around the living room.

“Emily is a great pet sitter! She stayed at our house with 4 dogs and 1 cat for 5 days. She has a good understanding of dog behavior and is at ease with them. We have a dog who is hesitant to go to anyone new (and sometimes anyone familiar), he had no problems going to Emily on her first visit here. We have another dog with a behavior issue, in talking with Emily about it we learned that she is knowledgeable about this issue and had no problems with the dog while she was at our house. While we were gone, Emily informed us about a problem at the house which I appreciated. The house was clean when we returned home and the pets were happy. The pictures we received of our pets while we were gone were good and we were reassured everything was going well. We will for sure use her services again and I recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”

“Kaelin was great with my 2 cats! She sent me updated & pictures while I was away. I came home to my place being just as I left it. I will definitely use her again in the future if I’m out of town and highly recommend her! Great communication from the time I booked with her. 😊”

About: Hi there:) My name is Madison! I have experience running a kennel, so I am trained in medication and vaccinations! I have brief experience with obedience training if you have special needs for your pup. My life revolves around animals and I would love to help create a safe and fun environment for your fur child while you are out! I treat all animals like they are my own, so your pet will get all of the love that i give my fur kids. They will have fun playing in the yard and going on walks, we do a ton of training throughout the day and play with our Barkbox toys! I will be the only one handling your babies:) I currently work in law enforcement and am always out and about. I love working in the community and am able to take a breath during my work day to go love on some lil pups. I am always house sitting for family and friends and do my best to make sure the pets are safe and happy in their most comfortable environment. I will be the only one who will be handling your pets!

“Kathy has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have two dogs, a senior Vizsla and young Boston Terrier. I hired Kathy to pet sit for three days, several hours each day. Kathy went above and beyond to make my pets feel comfortable! She engaged with them, sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how they were doing. She also had great communication prior to the booking. I will definitely hire Kathy again.”

“Bevan was prompt in communicating, he sent photos daily, and did a nice job taking care of our puppy, Bailey, who demands a lot of attention!”

About: My passion for any and all animals has always been a huge cornerstone of my life. I’ve learned when it comes to taking care of my own pets but also my neighbors, friends and families pets over the years, during the day and overnight, what’s been the most important aspect of this work, is having integrity and loving the pets as I would my own. I’m currently working mornings and early afternoons at a groomers. I’m typically available anytime after 4pm weekdays and available all day during Saturday and Sunday. I have a dog and cats of my own so your babies will be in good company! There is a lovely walking trail beside my residence I take my dog for walks on everyday if taking care at my residence. If taking care at your residence I will utilize all normal routines the babies are used to everyday.

About: I grew up with working line rottweilers on cattle farms. Later on went into the Army where I worked along side of some amazing dogs. Now I obedience train, walk, and house sit for people who love their fur children and want the best for them. I plan on getting certified in several forms of dog training, and will update this page as needed. I work with dogs full time and my schedule varies. Please feel free to reach out to me for specific time requests and scheduling thank you. At this time dog care will be limited to your home. I can easily walk your dog around your neighborhood or take them to a variety of parks. If socialization is needed for your dog I can also assist in this training.

“Lenny is the best house sitter I've had yet! She was reliable and so caring toward my three great Dane boys who are all on a unique and high-maintenance diet. She was easy to communicate with and flexible to my needs. Thank you Lenny!”

About: I am very good with reactive dogs, having had one myself. I have read up on animal first aid and training. Also having trained 3 dogs. Dogs are my life and I would do literally anything for them! I currently have both weekends and weekdays free. And available anytime, minus some doctors appointments! Looking for a new job currently so until then that won’t change! In my own home I have 2 dogs and a large fenced in yard. In your home, I will follow whatever rules you leave me!

About: I bring personal experience, genuine care, and versatility to every pet I look after. I currently care for my senior dog at home, so I understand the extra love, patience, and attention older pets need—whether it's administering medication, assisting with mobility, or just offering a calm presence. I also have experience with both big and small dogs, and I’m comfortable handling different energy levels, temperaments, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, snuggles on the couch, or anything in between, I adapt to their needs. In addition to dogs, I’m also comfortable caring for small animals like guinea pigs and understand their unique care routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. I am a currently a college student with a a fully remote internship so I can provide the time and attention your dog needs while you're away. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, medication, playtime, or just company, I make sure your pet feels cared for and not alone while you're away. I’m also respectful of your space, keeping things tidy and secure. For pets with special needs, like senior dogs or small animals/fish, I take extra time to make sure they’re safe and happy. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve had animals in my life from the beginning. Right now I have 2 dogs, a cat, 2 Guinea pigs, and a fish :) I love caring for them and want to get back into walking, so this is perfect! I stay overnight to dog sit, so I have tons of experience! I’m a college student working part-time, so i would like to spend as much time as possible with your pets! As long as you let me know what’s up, I’d be happy to be of service :) I have a fenced in yard on a not-busy street, so the dogs can play (and even bark) freely as they please. I just want them to have fun!

“Emma was very attentive to our dogs. She was also very polite and respectful of our home. I appreciated the updates and giving me and my wife peace of mind . Would use Emma again . Thanks Emma !”

“Brianna stepped in as an emergency sitter for our dogs while we were on vacation. She didn’t hesitate to come to their rescue last minute. Our dogs (or us) never had the opportunity to meet her beforehand and we came home to happy dogs! I can’t express my gratitude enough and the fact she was able to give me the peace of mind that I needed.”

“Alexis did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Hank! It was the first time leaving him with someone other than family and she made us feel so at ease. She sent us daily updates and photos and worked with our schedule last minute.”

About: We are a fun, energetic family that adore animals, especially dogs!!! Our idea of fun is being out in nature, going jogging, and hiking at the awesome parks nearby! We are blessed to live in a quiet and friendly neighborhood....where the boys and I can easily walk our Molly Jo in a safe environment! Not to mention, we have a wonderful fenced-in yard, where our pup and visiting pups can run, jump, play, and burn off energy! My three boys (11, 9, & 7 ) really enjoy when other dogs come to visit! They will "love on" your furbabie any chance they get-- as if it were their own!!! We are a fun, active family and there is never a dull moment, to say the least! We have one dog (a 6 year old Beagle) and two cats (one inside, one outside)-- so we are looking for friendly visitors that adapt well to kids and animals, if possible! We look forward to hearing from you!

About: I helped train my mom’s 2 pit puppies and taught them tricks (shake, sit, etc.) I will love them like no other just like they’re my own! I am willing to spend majority of the week , every week, doing what I love most ! Whether that is having animal sleepovers , sightseeing , or just making sure they are fed and happy , I can always make time for you & your animals needs & wants . I have a kitten & a dog that just got out of their puppy stages ! I know what it’s like to have the mischievous zoomies ,the crazy jumping puppy kisses , and the leash pulling sniffers , but know how to handle it in a way that your animal will always be safe while with me .

“Lindsay was a wonderful sitter for our little dog, Lulu. She was caring and responsible. We received pictures and updates. She followed our directions to the last detail. We would definitely ask her to pet sit the next time we go out of town. We highly recommend her.”

“Dory did a great job house sitting for my 3 dogs while I was out of town. Even though there was a large miscommunication/error on my part she was still able to accommodate us which I was very grateful for. She left the house immaculate, the dogs seem happy and she had great communication the whole time. Would 100% use her services again and recommend to anybody!”
