House Sitting in Okolona

“I highly recommend Emmelea! This was our first time using her for an overnight stay, and she exceeded all expectations. Her communication was top-notch; we received regular updates and so many cute pictures that showed how happy and well-cared-for our pup was. She truly treated him like her own. We feel so lucky to have found her and will 100% book with her again!”

“Leslie did such an amazing job with our babies! We hadn’t had much luck relying on our friends to watch them so we decided to try out Rover and it has been the best decision we ever made. She sent us several pictures throughout the time we were gone and when we returned, all the animals and the house were in great shape! We couldn’t be more pleased and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”

“Katie is a fantastic sitter! She took great care of my cat Boots, was responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day, and left my apartment in great condition. I would absolutely have her watch Boots again!”

“Highly recommend Lisa! She took amazing care of our dog, Google, and kept us informed all day with frequent messages and pictures. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We look forward to booking with her again!”

Mandi K.

“Marisa is a great communicator. She was able to read our dog’s personalities quickly. She was attentive to their needs. We didn’t worry at all as we felt they were very much cared for by her.”

“Amber was a great sitter for our dog. She showed up early which was great. She sent pictures and communicated great. She left our house neat and clean while we were gone for the weekend. We will definitely hire her again.”

Mandi K.

“Ava was great! She is one of the best sitters I have had so far, she did exactly everything that I asked if her. I loved all of the picture she sent throughout the day and that made me feel at ease although I was 300 miles away. My apartment felt even cleaner than I left it! My cat was seemed happy and content when I came back - she wasn’t clingy at all like she didn’t miss me much lol. I would definitely ask Ava to sit my place again. Highly recommend her.”

About: We've had mostly smaller dogs in the past, 20lbs or less. But I have taken care of much larger dogs, primarily labs and huskies. I don't mind going outside to play, or picking up dog poop! Good with any age. Im a nurse by trade, and work full time. My schedule is typically Monday through Friday, with some weekends. I can stop by before and after work, evenings, nights, weekends, and have a pretty open availability typically. We can always discuss details and needs. I would treat your fur babies as if they were my own! No problems discussing important details, and needs specific to the person or pet that I am sitting for. I'm pretty consistent/diligent with communication. Willing to adjust anything as needed to fit expectations or needs.

“Catherine was great with our pups! She saved us in a pinch and booked us last minute so we could make our concert! She was very tentative when we gave her instructions and had no issues bonding right to our 3 babies. If we are ever in Louisville again and need our pups watched, she will be our first call! We also got video and picture updates the entire time we were gone! Top tier service!”

“I am so glad Donai was in town and able to sit for Leo on such short notice. I had Donai sit before Rover and did an amazing job, Leo loves Donai and I was updated with pictures during the visits. I give 5 stars for sure! Highly recommended ❤️”

Tabitha K.

“Jocelyn was wonderful with my two dogs and two cats! She was very accommodating to their needs and flexible with scheduling. She offered to stay when my trip got extended and communicated throughout! Also, the house looked great when I returned :). She will be my first pick!”

Lacey L.

“Bayley took great care of our big boy goldendoodle! She provided frequent updates while we were away and was extremely responsive. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Santosh K.

“Madi did great with my dogs while I was away for a few days. She left my house better than I left it. Highly recommend for house sitting and any pet needs.”

About: *My husband and I keep the Sabbath day on Saturdays. We ask that all drop offs/pickups be done prior to 6pm on Friday and after 6pm on Saturday. This allows us a time of rest from juggling schedules, we thank you for your understanding and respect in that. * We are seasoned petsitters and I previously worked at a doggie daycare for a bit of time. I have owned dogs my whole life and we currently have one dog now, our other three pets have just passed away. I have no problem helping with a pet that has medical needs. I have given meds, shots and have had blind and deaf pups in our care. We have also dealt with dogs that have seizures and have had surgeries. Please just let me know what allergies or medications they have ahead of time, and any additional care instructions would be wonderful. I live in Okolona and have a large fenced yard that is 1/2 acre in which your dog(s) would love to play. Your pup will have lots of playtime and socialization here! If we experience bad weather, then playtime is in the house no problem! I treat the animals that come into my home as my own. We allow our furry guests to sleep with us on the bed at night along with our own. If crate trained we can accommodate that as well. Your pooch will love all the attention it receives from us! Please check out my reviews and repeat clients. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Also, if you book with me, you can book with confidence in knowing that I offer a FULL refund should your plans change. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby soon. This is my full time job at home. I also offer flexible drop-off and pick-up hours. You can drop-off/pick-up as early or late as needed. Only exception is from 6pm Friday to 6 pm Saturday as stated above. Last minute changes are often fine with us, we are pretty flexible. The only day that I am out for long is on Saturdays for church. What to expect on your first visit: Typically we allow new dogs to run around the house while ours are in the bedroom. This allows any new dogs to be able to get used to and know their environment. They will go outside by themselves to check that out as well. Usually, after new dogs check out their environment and are more relaxed, they meet our pups. If they seem like they will get along, then we let out any additional pups one dog out at a time. This helps keep the energy down so no chaos. If we are not home, our dogs are kept separate from the new dog depending on how they all get along. I do use crates for eating times and when we need to leave. If your pup is ok being left out we don't mind doing that either. Just depends on how the pup does being left out without supervision. I let all dogs out to go potty about every 2-4hrs during the day, typically a few times through the night as well, the last potty time is 10pm then bedtime. I get up at 6am. If your dog needs an additional potty time please let me know. I usually get up around 4am to let out those who need it during the night. Our puppies eat once a day (their choice) but we do double the food so if they decide to eat later on they can. I know everyone's pets are different so we can accommodate different eating schedules. If your dog isn't potty trained, let me know. I can work with him/her while they are here. I do the praise method; giving treats when they go outside. Usually having them go out more often to prevent accidents in the home. My golden retriever was a senior (16), our other pup was 11yrs old as well so if your dog is older that is fine. We have dealt with the old age, blind and seizures with our own pups before they went to doggy heaven. We get lots of puppies so we are accustomed to the chewing and potty training quite a bit! Thank you for looking at our page and we look forward to caring for your fur baby! *Please feel free to bring your pups food as a change in their diet may cause diarrhea. I do have food if you forget. Also if your pup has a favorite blanket or pillow feel free to bring that as well. I am home all day so typically pups just play in or outside during this time. When we do leave, usually our dogs just stay in the bedroom or chill on the couch when we are out. We take each dog potty before we leave and as soon as we get back. The only day that I am out for a long period is Saturdays for church. Depending on your pup's needs to can either let them stay out with out pups or be in a crate. I do have a larger room for pups to be in if they don't need to be in a crate but have too much anxiety to be left in the main house. We just try to do what is best for each dog since they are all different. Our goal is to provide a stress free environment where they can feel safe. We have a fenced in yard so the dogs have lots of room to run and play. We have balls and doggie bones for them to chew on as well. Our dogs have beds to cuddle on or blankets as well. I do make sure that every dog has a space to cuddle. Food and water is always provided; ours eats when they want to but if a dog needs supervised feeding on a schedule then I can accommodate that as well. I don't mind doggies playing but I don't allow humping behavior and will separate dogs if that begins. I do watch the dogs to ensure that any play stays safe and when I feel it may be getting too heated, I will separate for a bit to get everyone to calm down or redirect them. We make sure there are no hazardous materials for the dogs to get into. I do check the yard to see if there's anything there as well. If your dog is struggling with being separated, we will let him on the bed or couch to cuddle and sleep to comfort him. Unless you prefer him to not do so. If you don't want her dog to be on couch or bed just let me know, we will make sure that he/she won't. Just let me know what your training preference it and we can accommodate that. I don't mind sitting on the floor if your fur baby is needing some extra cuddles.

“Emily did a great job. She was communicative, professional, and my animals loved her. It was evident that she loves animals. She was really helpful in not just one, but two last minute situations where I needed help. I highly recommend her and will certainly be looking to use her in the future.”

“Jessica rocks, she is sweet and kind to my cats and dog. She was very patient and understanding with my date changes. Also, very reliable I highly recommend her as a sitter for your babies;-)”

About: I grew up on a farm, so I was surrounded by horses, chickens, numerous dogs and cats. My family has owned all different types of dogs, ranging from new born puppies to senior dogs. I have also owned cats so am super familiar with those also. I am a college student and have my car on campus, so I am available to drive at least 10 miles. I would love to help out with your fur friends :) I am currently a full time college student, and have classes on Monday’s, Tuesday’s, and Wednesday’s. These days I am unfortunately unavailable, unless you are In need of a late night walk or anima check in. Any other day I am usually available whenever! I am currently living on campus, so I do not have a yard or a room for animals. Fortunately, I have my car, so I am available to drive to you! I will take the dogs on long walks, I will even take them to a park to walk trails if you want. I will house sit also if needed, and more than happy to bathe the dogs. I am very open to any service that is needed!

“Everything went very well! Aiden kept in touch with me, sending pictures of the boys, which helped me feel better about leaving them. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs.”

About: I am a patient and attentive pet sitter! I have volunteered at the Animal Shelter for 15 years and believe that all pets deserve a safe and loving home! I’m willing to be there for your pets any time during the day, evenings or anytime on the weekends! Would love to be there for them to continue with their daily routines! I follow all guidelines given to me by pet owners to a T and make sure that I am adhering to their normal routine. It's important to me that your pets are safe and happy.

“This is the second time we have used Kai as a sitter and she takes fabulous care of our fur baby!! You can tell he is spoiled with attention and I get plenty of photo updates while I am gone so I am not stressed!”
