Pet Sitting Old Tavern

About: Throughout my experience caring for animals, I’ve been responsible for a variety of daily pet-care needs, including feeding and providing fresh water, cleaning food and water bowls, maintaining clean living areas, giving pets attention and companionship, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. For cats and dogs, I’m comfortable with playtime, walks, bathroom breaks, litter box cleaning, and keeping them on their normal routines. For smaller pets like hamsters, I can provide food, fresh water, and habitat cleaning. I also have experience caring for fish, including feeding and maintaining a clean environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and routine so I can recognize when something seems unusual. I’m also happy to follow specific instructions from owners to make sure their pets receive consistent care while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m comfortable working around a pets established routine and making sure they receive consistent meals, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and attention. In a clients home, I’ll treat their space with the same respect I would want for my own. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and keep their environment clean and safe. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is doing well while you’re away.

“Catherine was on time, played with our 2 balls of energy, fed them and played some more. She’s exactly what they needed for a mid morning break.”

“We felt very comfortable with Ariahna checking in on our very "sensitive" kitty. She provided excellent updates during our ti.e away from home.”

Cara C.

“Pam was great. I appreciated the daily text and photo of my pup which eliminated any anxiety I had prior to and during our family vacation. Hope she will sit for us on our next trip away.”

Jason M.

“Kinsey was great! She took lots of pictures and left detailed notes every visit. She was super responsive and messaged me directly when Cleo ran out of medicine. I worried so much less knowing that she was taking good care of Cleo.”

“Emily is fantastic! Thank you for giving us the peace of mind that comes with knowing our furry family members are well cared for when we're away!”

About: My experience started when i was about 14. I started watching family dogs and cats for money and it slowly became a passion. I work now at a dog resort which has daycare, boarding, bathing, and is now adding training. There I do bathing services, doggy daycare, feeding, administering medication. And that includes Cats as well. My aunt fosters cats/kittens and I have raised 2 dogs starting at month 3 as my grandpa adopted puppies. I helped and have experience with both little puppies and kittens. I love animals so much. I am super happy with this passion and hope to experience and learn more in the future. And am excited to work with you! I work currently at a Resort facility who works with both cats and dogs. And our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pets. I work day to day in that facility walking, feeding, medicating, and so much more. I have learned so much about animal behavior and have a pet of my own at home who I take care of day to day. So i work with pets daily. It will depend on what service you are looking for. I can do a basic bath for your pet in your home. (No nail trimming, and you would provide the bath and products you would like used.) For Boarding, either coming to me or me coming to you I can provide playtimes, long/short walks, administration of medication, litter-box cleaning, and more. For walks I can do walks in the neighborhood or take your dog to a dog park! And so much more! I am open to suggestions and ideas of what I can add/offer!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and have 6 years of experience making sure pets stay happy and healthy while their owners are away. I have a ton of energy for long walks, park trips, and playing fetch for high-energy dogs, but I also can be calm and relaxed for senior dogs. Because I study at home, my schedule is very flexible, which is perfect for house-sitting! I can spend the majority of my day at your home, ensuring your pet is never left alone for long periods. I’m available for overnight stays during the week and on weekends, and I make it a priority to stick to your pet's specific walking and feeding routine so their day feels totally normal while you're away. I take the responsibility of staying in your home very seriously. I am extremely diligent about home security—always double-checking that doors and windows are locked and that your pet is secure before I step out. I pride myself on leaving your home exactly as I found it (or cleaner!). I’m also a very frequent communicator; I love sending daily photo updates and quick 'check-ins' so you never have to wonder how things are going.

About: I have owned a variety of dogs throughout my entire life. In the past, I have owned and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes, ranging from Dalmatians down to a 8 pound Frenchie. With all my past experience, I am excited to care for your pets of all ages, shapes, and sizes. I currently care for my mini best friend, aka my cat Oreo, and have been caring for her for the past 8 years. I have experience with all kinds of pets and am excited to be able to watch your sweet pets! I am (typically) home and finished with work on weekdays after 3:00pm and I am available most weekends at any time to watch your pets. I currently have an indoor cat and help take care of all her needs ranging from trimming her nails, playing with her, and keeping her litter box clean. In the past, I have owned many dogs and always make sure to put their needs first. Depending on what my dog needs, I can spend the day playing with them, walking them, or just cuddling on the couch.

“Hayleigh came out to meet our dogs before a house sitting booking and spent time becoming familiar with them and their routines. Hayleigh has a calming presence and I know our dogs will enjoy their time together.”

About: I have had a lot of animals all throughout my life and am very respectful of their boundaries. I make sure every pet is well loved, respected, and fully taken care with food and water and also walks and treats! I’m available anytime of the day durning the week or weekends, I am very flexible and reliable I have my own vehicle and a valid drivers license. I make sure they have food and water all the time and take them on walks when needed. I make sure they are loved and that all there needs are taken care of and that they have food and water.

“Julie's been great so far - I look forward to booking with her again!”

About: Hi. I'm Katherine. I have had dogs all of life. I've rescued shelties through NVSR and have taken in many 'street' cats. My last sheltie passed away this spring and while I'm still mourning her too much for a new dog I do desire to shower your pets with affection and make them feel special when you cannot. I'm willing to throw the ball until they are whipped. I'm willing to walk them until they are all tuckered out. My theory has always been that a good dog is a tired dog and a tired dog is a good dog. I've had that 'can't be with them as much as I want' guilt. You can feel confident that they will have the same you you would give them with me. I am currently working part time from home so I have all sorts of time to take good care of your babies when you can't. I will walk and play with your babies in parks, on walks and at the beach. I'm steps away from Dog beach for them to play.

“Amazing and paid very close attention to detail great person to trust with your home and pet 10stars”

About: I have experience working with all types of animals and typical watch cats and dogs. I love animals and love getting to spend time with new fur babies. I enjoy lots of outdoor activities and would love to involve your fur babies in my daily activities while they are in my care. I am new to the area, so I'd love to meet potential clientele and become someone you count on. I can provide care at your home or my home. I have two coonhounds who love friends, but are still young pups, so they love to play. Making sure your fur babies are cared for is my important to me because I understand the concern you feel when you are leaving your babies with someone who isn't you.

“Nazeeya is a super kind, thoughtful dog sitter who made sure to ask all the important questions to be able to care for Baby in the best way. She has a true love for animals and sent very cute updates of Baby so I could see how he was doing while I was away. I would recommend Nazeeya to anyone who needs a loving, experienced animal care taker!”

About: Hi! I’m someone who has grown up around dogs my whole life, and caring for them has always just been a natural part of who I am. I’ve had three family dogs over the years, and each one has taught me something different. From playful puppy energy, to daily routines and training, to slower senior care and patience. One of my dogs, Charlie, recently passed, and caring for him through his life,especially at the end really deepened how much I understand what pets mean to a family. Because of that, I don’t take pet care lightly, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own home, and I try to make them feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. I’m very active and love being outside, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy, not just a task. At the same time, I’m just as comfortable with mellow dogs who need a gentler pace or extra attention. I’m patient, attentive, and I pay close attention to routines because I know how important consistency is for pets. My goal is always to make things easy for you and stressfree for your pet. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how they’re doing, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel right at home with me. I can’t wait to meet your dog and take care of them like they’re my own :) I am a recent graduate from Kettle Run High School and I am not attending college, I am looking for work in the real estate field and am free everyday to do some walking or sitting! I walk, feed, and play with my own personal dogs, I can offer feeding the dogs, staying in your home when out of town, walks, taking them out in yard, playing with them, petting them.

“there's no one I would trust more than Melika with my dogs. they absolutely love her and she's so so good with them I never have to worry when they're with her”

About: I’ve taken care of my dads friends dogs aswell as my own cat. I’ve fed, walked, etc.. I’d love to work with your pet! I’ve had my cat for 12 years and she’s well taken care of. This is currently my main priority as I’m going to college soon! I can do pretty much any days and any times!! Monday-Friday. 7Am- 9PM (just an example) I currently do not offer this ! But if i ever did I’d make sure your fur baby is as comfortable as my own. Thank you for trusting me!

About: Dogs and cats love me. And I love them. I recently relocated from the West coast to East. have volunteered at Laguna Beach Animal Shelter in California the past nine years. There are many pets in my household ( one dog, 4 cats)). I thoroughly enjoy pet/home sitting and am grateful for your trust. I am flexible and can easily adjust my schedule accordingly. Overnights are my specialty. I have no pets or children of my own thereby emplyment is my only commitment. My household has pets and roommates travel extensively so I feed, love and whatever other pet needs arise. I am and happy to accommodate as it takes a village with pets!
