House Sitting in Orestes

About: Over the course of my life, I’ve been around and cared for animals. My friends have asked me to take care of mostly cats, but I’ve also looked after smaller/medium sized dogs, and a few different reptiles. I am good with dogs at almost any age, but especially older dogs. With cats, I can do just about any age! I’ve taken care of cats in my own home since I was 5. I’ve bathed cats, dogs, reptiles, and I can give necessary care if it’s needed! I currently have a very open schedule and am able to give animals proper attention! If I so happen to have plans, my calendar should be updated. I am also open to negotiate time, just contact me! Currently my little cat is more accustomed to the indoors and is not used to being around many other animals, because of this, it is preferable (and by preferable I mean I cannot sit for your animal in my home) that I sit in my client’s home! I would need to know the basics such as: where your pets food is, toys, cleaning supplies in case of emergencies, and any other special or necessary things you would like me to do regarding your animal (if there are any). On a side note: I am no official expert by any means, but I am one to be observant of your animals behavior. This of course means I understand when your animal needs food, wants to play, or needs to use the bathroom, but I also means that I can read emotions pretty well. I can read expressions of animals fairly well and I’m usually able to tell if something is bothering them. If you believe something is bothering them, please don’t hesitate to tell me as I will try my best to investigate! I believe animals show us what is wrong with them through their own signs of communication. If I’m able to help in anyway, I will!

“Issabella is such a thoughtful pet sitter. She provides great updates during her stay and is really knowledgeable about animal care and behavior. She really gives us peace of mind while we’re away. We highly recommend!”

“Des was awesome! Copper the Dog and Princess Leia loved her! She was extremely friendly and kept the lines of communication open. During the stay she provided pictures and videos of the dogs. She stayed at my home and left it clean when she left. There were a couple of changes and challenges (not her fault at all) during the stay, but she rolled with the punches and was very flexible. Definitely utilize her professional services. She even left a friendly note after she left. 😃”

“We couldn't be more grateful for Jessie! She took amazing care of our beloved shepherds and our home while we were on vacation. Before finding Jessie, my husband and I rarely traveled together—we're very particular about who we trust with our dogs and our home. Jessie exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we booked with her, communication was clear, timely, and thoughtful. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our pups were happy, relaxed, and in great hands. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing everything back home was being cared for so well. Jessie’s attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals completely won us over. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and are already looking forward to future travel plans now that we have someone we trust completely. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Bella was GREAT with our pup! He can be a bit of a handful from time to time and she managed his weirdness extremely well. She left our home nice and tidy as well. Will definitely be asking her to watch George again!”

About: My family has always owned a dog. Ever since I was young, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals, whether it be a walk, or an overnight sit. I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare. I still have a lot of free time I’d like to fill throughout the week doing something I love, like taking care of animals. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for other peoples babies. Safety for myself and the pet is my number one priority. I do have a fenced in big back yard, and I also live right next to campus!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Along with dogs I’ve been around multiple farm animals. I’d love to care for your furry friends just as much as mine!! I work part time while attending school online. My schedule is very open. I would be able to go every morning and evening. I can offer multiple different services and schedules. I have the ability to let dogs roam in the rural area I live in. I have crates available if need. I also have a 6 year old dog of my own. He gets along really well with other dogs but I would be able to keep the dogs separate if needed.

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 5 when I got my first dog, and I've been caring for animals ever since! I've cared for many different species, such as dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, cows, fish, and a couple of reptiles! I'm always looking for new animal friends and would love to meet yours! I'm currently a full time college student, and have two classes a day. I will be available for pet care at all hours other than 10-11am, and 12-1pm during my classes. I have a nice big hallway for your pet if a kennel is needed, and I have great access to a nice, safe walking path, plus a big yard for pets to play. I am very adaptable and can make anything work!

About: I’ve always taken care of pets since I was a kid when friends or family went out of town. I love my own dog like my best friend and I always love playing with him and taking care of him. I’ve trained my dogs myself and I always love it! Happy to help in any way you may need. I work on tuesdays and thursdays and as a musician I play piano in my free time. I’m free 24/7 except for tuesday’s and thursday’s which i’m free after 2pm! At home I have a fence, a nice vest and leash for my very muscular dog, and I have trained him to where he’s capable of being off leash and at my side while walking!

About: I have the freedom to go anywhere needed with the ability to drive. I can also take care of the pets special needs such as giving medicine. I enjoy walking and playing. My little dog has a big dog attitude, so when she gets aggressive I know how to handle her, and keep a safe distance not letting anyone get hurt. I am a full time student at BGSU, and living on campus. I can do check ins during the weekdays, and I am able to stay overnight if needed at anytime. On the weekends I should be available at anytime and stay for however long is needed. I have a fenced in backyard, and a small dog that goes through the doggy door. I am always available to open the door to let your pet out at anytime. I walk my dog around the neighborhood 3 or more times around the week at least.

“Iris did a wonderful job watching Lola! Lots of photos and video updates which helped me cope with being away ‘cause I knew she was in good hands.”

About: Hi, I’m Elizabeth, and I’m a dedicated dog lover with over seven years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking! Growing up with dogs, I’ve always had a deep love and understanding of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your furry family members while you’re away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. As a dog parent myself, I understand the value of personalized, attentive care—giving your pup the love, exercise, and attention they deserve rather than a kennel stay. I work flexible hours doing marketing/promotional jobs a few days a week, but I am home most of the time, so your pup will have plenty of companionship and care. I am available mornings and evenings daily and around lunch time some days. Letting me know your pets normal routine will help me make sure I am available during those times. I have a friendly older English bulldog who loves playing with new dog friends. He doesn’t always come with me and doesn’t have to if I have any in home stays where the animals don’t like other dogs in the home.

About: I’ve had 14 years of friends, family and neighbors trusting me for walking, feeding, giving baths, playing, gaining trust, building relationships with their furry family members and anything that comes with taking care of dogs 🥰 I’m currently trying to get a full time schedule on Rover. I’ve always wanted to work a job I absolutely love doing, what’s better than taking care of and playing with dogs all day? Nothing! Due to me not working, I have open availability for whenever your fur babies need to be taken care of! I can take care of your pets in any way that makes you comfortable! There will be a lot of playing and cuddles and love!

About: I actually started watching dogs and cats for families I was babysitting and nannying for while they were out of town about four years ago. About 90% of my experience is with extended dog sitting in the owners home. While watching the dogs I not only let them out to potty but also walk them, play with them, and clean up any messes whether chewed or accidents that may occur! I have some owners who like me to stay overnight and others who do not and I am completely okay with either way. I am also comfortable administering medicine or changing bandages. I am always up for taking your dog places too, a dog park or for a bath or simple for a drive! I’m comfortable with cats, dogs, and a plethora of other animals. I can care for any of your loving animals! I hope to get to know you and your fur babies in the future! I currently am a stay at home mom. I have one school age child and a toddler. I am looking for bookings to be able to stay at home with my girls (and my two pups of course). School drop off/pick up is for a short time in the morning and in the late afternoon. Any walks or drop-ins would be scheduled around school drop off and pick up times! I care for pets as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This can look like feeding on schedule, giving fresh water, administering medications if needed. Each visit includes some play and cuddles too so they feel just as loved as when you are there!

About: I Have experience with cats of most sizes dogs, birds, arachnids an even reptiles. I will treat your furry one like they were my own. Partner is working an i am full time dad looking for side income that doesn’t require me to leave our little one. Our child loves animals as well. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with tons of sq. Footage for your furry one to get plenty of exercise. It is only me my child an partner who reside in our apartment.

“Quincy was great with our two senior pups. They were relaxed and content when we got home.”

About: I have a cat that I have been raising since June of last year since he was a little kitten. I love and cherish him and have learned a lot of patience over the past year while raising him. I also have a love for dogs and I have a little experience with them as well. I am a self-employed delivery driver, so I have a lot of free time, and I am flexible but right now I am only able to accept morning care for pets. I stick to routine and consistency when it comes to pets because that is what works best in most situations. If the pet has no structure in its life and its environment is full of chaos, then that leaves room for pet aggression and may cause the pet to be out of control. I also making sure to give them plenty of play time can reduce a lot of misbehavior and disobedience.

About: I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds since I was younger. Family, and friends have relied on me to help house sit, walk, play dates, and take their animals to day care. I’m currently in school online, but I am available to spend time walking the animals during the week and on the weekend. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I do not have a fenced in yard, living on a huge property that they are allowed to run, but if your dog is an inside animal I am willing to bring him/her to my home. I have two friendly playful dogs of my own, they are a Golden Doodle, and a German Shorthaired Pointer. I am also willing to spend time at your home playing and walking your animals as well. I am willing to do play dates inside and outside.

About: I have pet sit for many years. I love meeting new animals. I enjoy pet sitting because as a social worker I am able to come home to an animal and sent time with them. Animals are the way I cope. I have plenty of time to play with animals in the evenings and weekends. My schedule is very open for this and I am excited to have this opportunity I will ensure to keep everything the way I found it or even better. I know animals do best in their own environment so I have no problem being in other peoples homes. I show respect.

“Annalise was great! She came to meet our dogs before our in house sitting and they instantly loved her! She followed all our pet care instructions and even cleaned up after herself before she left. We look forward to booking her again!”
