House Sitting in Orange City

“Holly did a wonderful job for us taking care of our dogs and watching our house while we were away. So grateful to her daughter Tilly too for stepping in to help when needed. We highly recommend Holly and look forward to having her care for our canine kids. :).”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I have cared for dogs/puppies and cats/kittens of all ages. I have years of experience caring for barnyard and exotic pets as well. I am also a registered nurse and have medical education and training to add. I love caring for animals and treat all of them just like family! Pet owners who book services with me with receive regular pictures and updates so they know their beloved pet(s) are safe and happy! I work full-time from the end of August through the end of May, but have evenings and weekends off. I have summers off and have extended breaks during Thanksgiving and Christmas, plus other holidays, allowing me plenty of opportunity to assist you with your time away from your beloved pet(s). I would be caring for your pet in your home and would be available to do overnight stays, day hours, or whatever timeframe needed while you are away.

About: I grew with lots of animals. I cared for one dog and one cat growing up. I love all animals and I want to ensure you feel confident in your pets well-being. I am a student at Dordt, so I have free time during the day to check in or take your pets for a walk. My roommate has a dog, so I am often out taking Harley on midday runs with me :) I aim to provide a safe environment for your pets. I can walk them during the day and check-in on them if that is needed.

About: Lifelong dog care is more than just a hobby for me—it’s a passion that began with childhood dog walking and grew into a deep commitment after my Air Force service. Today, my own dog is my constant companion and she absolutely loves making new friends, making my home a welcoming environment for your pup. My flexible part-time schedule allows me to prioritize a consistent, high-quality routine for every guest, from strict feeding schedules to plenty of one-on-one attention. I am also currently expanding my professional skills through the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid certification to ensure your furry family members are in the safest hands possible. Whether providing a calm environment to relax or a reliable home-away-from-home experience, I treat every dog with the same love and discipline as my own. With a highly flexible schedule, I offer dedicated care that mirrors your pet’s home routine. I am experienced in administering medications, maintaining strict feeding schedules, and providing plenty of exercise through daily walks. Whether it is a midday stroll or overnight boarding, I have the availability and experience—including caring for my senior neighbors' dogs—to ensure your best friend is safe, healthy, and happy. I prioritize safety through a structured home environment and professional preparation. As a military veteran, I am naturally disciplined with following your specific feeding, medication, and exercise instructions to the letter. I am currently completing the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid course to ensure I can handle any situation with confidence. My home is a secure, routine-driven space where your pet will enjoy a familiar flow—including morning dental treats, timely meals, and daily evening walks. I have a long-standing history of trust in my community, regularly boarding and walking younger, high-energy dogs for my neighbors. I also happen to be a world-class cuddler, but shh... don't tell anyone! ;)

“Great as always!”

“Lexi did a wonderful job taking care of my house and large crew! I have dogs and cats from 125lbs to 2lbs so there's quite a variety. She did great with everyone and was so sweet and respectful. She left the house in wonderful shape and even gave my dogs bandanas. I will absolutely be using her again!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 15 years. I have experience with all sizes of dogs including extra large dogs. I love dogs of all ages...especially puppies. I have taken care of dogs that had disabilities/movement issues. I believe that dogs should be treated like people and be loved as much as possible because all they want to do is make people happy. I am a dog mom and have two wonderful, but crazy Labrador Retrievers. They are my kids and I would do anything for them. I'm looking to do this at least part time, but hopefully full time. I have a full time job right now, so my schedule is a little flexible right now and my weekends are usually open. I treat all dogs and cats as if they were my own. I treat them with care, respect, and lots of love. I am very patient and I care for each dog individually because they all have different levels of need.

“My pup loved being with Alexia. She spoiled him and he was happy and healthy when we returned to our home. The house looked great too! I’ll use her again for sure!!”

About: I have trained and owned animals my whole life. I graduated with a veterinary assistant degree from western Iowa tech in Sioux city Iowa. Animals are my world and I love working and hanging out with them daily. I own a dog and 2 cats and love to cuddle them and train them so they can become and live their best life possible. I can give all my animals baths, exercise, positive reinforcement and love anytime they need it. I have a huge back yard and love to play with them outside too.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter/dog walker, and I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. I’ve taken care of various types of animals since I was little! Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn energy, or calm in-home care while you’re away, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments—including strong pullers and shy or anxious pups. I currently work full time, but usually I have a day or two off during the week and most weekends off. I will be able to provide care for your pet before or after the days I work, or most days/weekends that I am off. My townhome community has small grassy backyard patio areas and a dog park less than 100 feet away from my home, and I have one 3 year old pup named Tank (white shepherd/lab mix) who would love to become best friends with your pup!
