House Sitting Olney

“Lucy did a fantastic job watching Levon for 8 days and took great care of the house. I would recommend and will be using her in the future!”

“We are very happy we had Katelyn watch our two dogs for a week! She was communicative, sent as many updates as we requested, kept the pups happy, and was very pleasant to work with. Perhaps the best surprise of all was coming home to our extremely clean home, washed towels/sheets/etc. - which was above and beyond our expectations. Katelyn made our vacation stress-free! We’d definitely suggest her for watching your pets :)”

Beth S.

“Our two pups liked Kimberly from the moment she walked thru the front door. We felt very comfortable having her at our home. When we returned the dogs were happy and our home was spotless. Very pleased”

Debbie T.

“Mari did such a good with Bailey! Very responsive, sent us updates when we asked, and she sent us photos and fun videos of our girl. We really appreciated her giving our girl so much love and attention over the Thanksgiving holiday. We absolutely recommend her!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’m the go-to sitter for friends because I genuinely love being around animals and put a lot of care into making sure they feel safe, understood, and comfortable. During my psychology degree, I completed a minor in Animal-Assisted Interventions and Psychotherapy, focusing on animal behavior, emotional attunement, human-animal connection, and therapeutic support work. My own dog is a huge part of my life. She travels around the country with me and goes almost everywhere by my side. I personally trained her with therapy service dog foundations, which taught me a lot about patience, consistency, structure, and reading a dog’s needs and body language. I'm fortunate that my days are centered around my dog, Bennie. I get up, let her out right away, then prepare her breakfast, and she eats while we start the morning together outside. I’m home most of the time and spend my days in the yard gardening, doing yard work, or working on projects around the property, so she’s with me and supervised throughout the day. I also always make sure there’s some form of engagement or mental stimulation so dogs are never bored or over-energized, whether that’s training, enrichment activities, or interactive play. If I need to run errands, Bennie usually comes with me and stays in the car if the weather is safe. If it’s too warm, she stays home in her calm, familiar environment instead. I’m typically only gone for short errands and make a point of never leaving her alone for long. When we’re not at home, we’re usually outside doing something active- swimming at the lake, going on hikes, going for runs, or taking long walks. Our lifestyle is very outdoors-oriented, and she’s included in almost everything I do Dogs are a huge part of my life, and because I care deeply about providing a safe, low stress environment, I intentionally keep my boarding environment calm and structured. My goal is to give well mannered dogs a place that feels like home, not a kennel. To make sure every dog, including my own dog Bennie, stays safe and happy, I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and lifestyle. The dogs I board must be friendly and non aggressive toward people and other dogs, with no history of aggression, biting, resource guarding, or serious reactivity. Any signs of aggression or unsafe behavior during a stay may result in an early pickup request. They must be fully house trained with no ongoing accidents indoors. I understand an occasional accident can happen in a new environment, but dogs that regularly mark, urinate, or defecate indoors are not a good fit. If repeated accidents occur during a stay, I may request early pickup. Dogs should be comfortable in a home environment without excessive or persistent barking. Occasional alert barking is understandable, but they must be responsive to redirection and not fixate on people, sounds, or movement outside the home. Dogs that bark continuously when I leave or struggle to settle with normal household noise are not a good fit. Dogs should be able to relax quietly indoors without excessive vocalizing, as I have neighbors and tenants I respect. Dogs should be able to stay home alone for short periods, such as while I run errands, without destructive behavior or severe separation anxiety. For safety, dogs should ride comfortably in a vehicle if transportation is ever necessary and have reliable recall and respect physical boundaries. Dogs with a history of escaping, climbing, or jumping fences are not a good fit for my property. They should also be comfortable sharing space with Bennie and enjoy appropriate, respectful play. Bennie is always at the top of my mind, and safety is my number one priority. I have a fully fenced, dog-proof yard with a secure gate that is always kept closed. I also have cameras on the property to monitor for wildlife or anything unsafe outside. Inside the home, I use non-toxic, pet-safe cleaning products and avoid harsh chemicals. I’m very mindful of anything dogs could be sensitive to, including what they’re exposed to, what they play with, and what they’re given. I only use safe toys and bones that are appropriate and supervised. Chewing must be under control. I provide plenty of appropriate toys and chew options, but dogs that chew furniture, household items, or damage property will result in an early pickup request. I also reserve the right to request reimbursement for any damage or excessive cleaning caused during a stay. I spend most of my days at home working on my property, gardening, hiking, or enjoying the outdoors with Bennie, so visiting dogs receive plenty of companionship, supervision, enrichment, and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I carefully screen each booking to make sure it is the right fit for everyone involved. I understand these requirements may not fit every dog, and that is okay. My goal is not to accommodate every pet. It is to provide exceptional care for dogs that thrive in a calm, structured home environment.

“Karla is amazing! I am so thankful we found someone we can trust to stay at our home and watch our dog when we travel. She sends picture updates, is great with communication, spoils our girl while we are gone, and keeps our home fresh for when we return! Highly recommend her 😊”

“We had such a great experience with Victoria! She did an amazing job taking care of our girls — they were so happy, calm, and relaxed when we got home, which says everything. She communicated extremely well the entire time, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. On top of that, she left the house spotless and super clean, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs of all sizes for as long as I can remember. I grew up with large breeds like Bullmastiffs, Neapolitan Mastiffs, and Cane Corsos, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger dogs. My family has also taken in dogs with reactivity issues, which has given me patience and experience working with dogs that need a little extra understanding and structure. I currently have a senior mastiff mix with three legs, so I’m confident caring for dogs with different abilities and special needs. While I specialize in dogs, I absolutely love cats as well and have experience caring for them. I understand they often need a gentler, more patient approach and I’m happy to provide that. I currently have full availability everyday while I wait for my new job to begin. This includes housesitting and overnights on weekdays and weekends! Also, I am available for quick check-in’s or walks through the week. I care for all pets as if they are my own. I will go at their pace whether that means they want to play all day, or do their own thing! Whatever I am instructed to do by you, the owner, is how I will proceed.

“Amazing experience with Vicki!! Her communication was great, she was patient & sweet with my 3 crazy dogs, and left our house cleaner than we left it. Thank you ? would definitely recommend!”

Kayla Ann R.

“Jessica was great! She sent us photos and videos while we were away and we were very comfortable leaving our animals in her care. We came back to very happy animals and a clean house. We will definitely have Jessica come back in the future!”

“Kaitlyn was a wonderful sitter. As a first experience with a cat sitting service, everything could not have gone more smoothly. Kaitlyn quickly responded to all my inquires before and during her house sitting. She provided pictures and positive feedback whenever I requested an update. My 2 little girls were obviously happy and well taken care of during her stay. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have over 5 years of experience providing dependable dog sitting, pet care, and house sitting services. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including puppies and senior pets. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, maintaining routines, and ensuring homes stay clean, safe, and secure while owners are away. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. I work PRN with a local hospital , which allows me to make my own schedule, and I’m a full-time online student who can complete coursework anywhere. This flexibility means I’m able to provide consistent attention, maintain routines, and be present for pets and homes throughout the day, including overnight stays. I care for pets in their homes as if they were my own. I stick closely to their usual routines, making sure they’re fed on time, exercised, played with, and given lots of love and attention. I keep homes tidy and safe, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and comfortable.

“Isabella and Hercules played with my dogs all day. They were tired and well loved. Will definitely be booking again.”

About: I am an eternal animal lover. Growing up with numerous animals around, I cherish their company and find our mutually beneficial relationships necessary. I have volunteered at Humane Societies, local rescues, professional pet sitting business, daycare, boarding facility and always been a sitter for family/friends/strangers, etc. Well-versed in walks, runs, feeding, bathrooms breaks, overnights, giving medicine, and of course lots of love and attention. I am available and free. I wake up early and am not pursuing a career right now, so plenty of time to dedicate to your beloved furry family. I am empathetic towards animals' emotions and I understand their needs naturally. I communicate well with photo and video updates and people find me a joy to work with. I treat every animal like they are my own family and will always make sure they have the care they want and need. My schedule is being created here and I just moved back. My jobs are always part time and allow me lots of freedom to prioritize what I enjoy (animals and nature). I am very fluid and open and put free time first. Well of course it depends on what is needed for each individual. To be general, I make sure that I am attentive to details in your animals' behavior, changes in their environment to make sure there isn't any problems popping up. Checking their stool, food/water intake, etc. I treat them like they're my friend. I am sensitive to their needs and that usually looks like a welcoming and loving attitude. I treat your home and furry family with love.
