House Sitting in Otwell

“In the past, Louie hasn’t done well while we are away. Jennifer was exactly what he needed. She stayed with him and kept him calm and comfortable. She sent us pictures so we knew that he was doing great. When our return plans got changed, she stayed longer to make sure Louie wasn’t left alone. She’s the best!”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. My family has a certain love for dogs and that has definitley passed to me. My grandmother has a passion for saving unloved pups, from saving a runt from a puppy mill to an old man from a shelter, and I admire her so much for that. I now advocate for shelters and saving even the senior babies. I got my first puppy when I turned 15, an adorable brittany spaniel, and watching him grow into the old man he is now is one of the most gratifying experiences of my life. I helped train him in obedience, gave him baths as often as I could, took him on walks almost every day, and played fetch until the sun went down. My friends and family now ask me to watch their fur-babies. They have asked me to stay in their home and take care of their pets, both dogs and cats. I love saying yes to watching their pets and getting to experience the personalities of each pup and cat. I love grooming the dogs and cats, and then helping my family and friends to make sure not only their pets are taken care of but also their homes. And now I can’t wait to branch out and help you with your fur-babies and your home. I just recently retired from the military and therfore am not currently working, so I have a full schedule to watch fur-babies! I do plan to start studies for animal behavior this year, but will still continue to have time to pet sit. I currently live at home with my family and cannot watch your pets in my home. I do have reliable transportation and can drive to your home whenever you need me, whether it is to juct check on your pet, feed and walk them, or stay in your home for an extended time.

“Needed a live-in sitter on pretty short notice and I am so glad I found Heidi! Murphy instantly loved her and she kept me up to date consistently on things. Would highly recommend!”

I currently have 2 dogs - a bernedoodle and a rescue-, and have cared for many senior dogs, puppies, etc. Your fur baby will be in excellent hands!! Need grooming? Ask me! I don’t personally groom, but have great recommendations! I am more than willing to work with your schedule to make an appointment work! Pets are like children - a big priority in our lives!! I have a fenced in back yard, and 2 lively doggos of my own to keep yours company! I also have a Furbo in home for constant monitoring.

About: 👋 Hi there! I’m so glad you stopped by. My love for animals started early—I began working as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic right after high school. From there, I earned my Associate’s Degree in Veterinary Technology and continued as a veterinary technician at the same clinic. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. My background in veterinary medicine helps me recognize any signs of illness or injury quickly, so I can keep you informed and ensure your pet stays safe and healthy while you’re away. I now own and operate my own professional pet care business, Turbo Tails Pet Care, where I offer dedicated, personalized care to every pet as if they were my own. You can rest easy knowing your pets are in caring and capable hands! Check out Turbo Tails Pet Care on Facebook for more! 😊 I currently run my own pet care business, which keeps me on the go during the day, but I still love having the opportunity to care for pets through Rover when my schedule allows! While I may not be home as often as I once was, I make sure to give every pet in my care plenty of attention, love, and quality time. Feel free to reach out to see if your dates line up with my availability — I’d be happy to help! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a spacious, fenced-in backyard where your dog can enjoy plenty of fresh air, exercise, and potty breaks. If your pup prefers leash walks, I’m more than happy to accommodate that too! Crates are available if needed, and I maintain a clean, safe, and sanitary environment — this includes regularly disinfecting food bowls, crates, toys, and any shared spaces. I also use a Wyze Pet Camera to check in when I need to step away briefly, ensuring your pet is always monitored. As a Fear-Free Certified caregiver, I take things at your pet’s pace to make sure they feel safe and comfortable as we build trust together. Please note that I do care for multiple pets from different families, along with my own dogs, depending on the schedule. I’m always happy to discuss who else might be staying during your booking — just ask!

“Loved Abby and so did the doggos! ? Great communication and kept us informed with lots of pictures! ???”

About: Ive had my own Doggy Babies and taken care of doggies for 20 years!! Friends and family have relied on me to walk, bathe, sit overnight and care for their pets. Im currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups!! Ive always loved doggies and love to play and have fun or just sit and chill together!! I have a fenced in yard where our doggies run and play. We have one small guy named Cooper. And one medium girl named Sage. Cooper is Morkie (maltese-yorkie) and LOVES every other animal and humans. Sage is mixed breed and is so gentle and little shy till she gets to know you

About: My husband and I have had dogs and cats our entire lives. We currently have a 5 year old Husky, 2 Cocker Spaniels, ages 2 & 3 and recently rescued a 2 year old English Setter. We love meeting new friends and treat them as our own. We also have 3 cats. We work full time but 3 days we work from home during the week. We are available on Saturday and Sundays and weekday evenings on case by case basis. We have a large fenced in back yard and very friendly dogs to keep your dogs company and can crate your dogs or cats if needed. Can abide by your regular home schedules with food, breaks and walks.

About: A safe environment for your furry friends when you're away. I will ensure that your dogs receive the attention, care, and exercise they need. From playtime to walks, cuddles to feeding, I will keep your pups happy and healthy. A loving pet owner of a nine year old St. Bernard. Can administer medicine if needed. I will spend mornings and evenings with your pet(s)! I do work full time; if your home is a reasonable distance from where I work, I can drop by for lunch time potty breaks or walks. Your pet will go no more than 8-hours without me being there. As someone who travels often, I know what it feels like to worry about your pet while gone. I will abide by any house rules (even if that means they can’t sleep in the bed with me), and send lots of pictures and updates to give you a sound mind while away from your pups.

About: I have watched beloved family pets for many friends and family during my life time. Being an animal lover myself, I know that your pets are family and I make sure to treat them as such! Growing up with family dogs and cats, and currently our funky boxer dog Rufus, I know what it takes to be a successful animal sitter and how much love they need. I work a full time job, from 9-4:30 pm Monday-Friday with the exception of one remote day on Wednesdays. Most pets are used to this schedule. I will ensure they will have potty breaks first thing in the morning, during my lunch break at 1, and then once I return to the home at 5. And then several throughout the evening and before bed. I will care for your pet in the environment they feel the safest in… your home. By allowing your animal to remain at home, it eases their stress and anxiety and gives them a comforting feel of familiarity. No need to pack up enough food and treats for the week. I will be happy to follow your thorough instructions on how to care for your pet.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. I like taking them on walks and bath times! I like to play with them and take them to the park! I work night shift at a hospital 3 days a week so I’m always home during the day! I have my weekends off so I’m usually free on weekends I am very interactive with animals. When my dog was still alive, I took him to the park and went on walks all the time!

About: I've looked after dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and sizes, from mini Dachshunds to Great Danes, and from young puppies to achy old dogs. I'm a full time student at Indiana University Bloomington, so I'll need to be within travelling distance of Bloomington and allowed time for my classes during the school year. How I care for your dog depends entirely on how I'm told to, I'm adaptable and can fit to pretty much any schedule or routine your dog is accustomed to.

“Anna was a fantastic sitter! Our dogs loved her and she took great care of them! She kept in contact and sent photo and video updates too! She stayed at our home with the dogs and left the home in cleaner condition than she came into it. We will 100% request her again Thank you again Anna!”

About: I love dogs and they deserve the best! I have had a dog for 7 years and he is well trained and gets along with other dogs. I work full time 9am-5pm. I can work evenings and weekends. I take my dog for walks often on the riverwalk or at parklands. I have an adjustable lunch in case I have to check on pets during the day. I have 1 dog that is dog friendly and house trained. I’m pretty flexible for what needs your pets may need in home. I do not have a fenced yard and will leash them to potty outside.

About: I love dogs! I’m a full time dog groomer here in Evansville at my in home salon. I love providing dogs with the utmost love and care. I also have safety certifications for first aid for dogs! I work full time 3 of the 5 days I am working at home and will be available all day. The other two I can leave whenever I need! I live in a 2 bedroom home with two dogs of my own that LOVE to play and be around other dogs. Your dog will be in great hands!

“Tracy did fantastic with Oliver! We’re so happy to have found someone we can depend on who can spoil our dog for us whenever we’re out of town!”

About: Trustworthy and reliable! I’ve always been someone that my friends and neighbors could leave their pets with and expect them to be properly taken care of. I own two dogs, Bear and Elli, that I travel full with full time. We have landed back in Bend in search of a more permanent home. Elli is a firecracker of force when it comes to chasing down and catching a frisbee! She has a huge personality and huge tongue!! Bear is a “tug-a-holic” that would pull me into next week if given the opportunity! We usually will take the dogs on walks and perform some kind of training criteria at least twice a day. As I am eager to dive fully into dog training, I felt it necessary to get my hands on more dogs to better understand the needs and interests of each dog in my care. I am looking forward to being of service to you and your beloved pets! I currently have two dogs, a 4yr old German Shepherd and a 2yr old Belgian Malinois, so dog care and advanced training is a daily activity. Playtime and training look very similar in our life. My dogs are fully house and crate trained with stellar recall and obedience skills. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, from feeding schedules to favorite activities, ensuring they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I maintain a calm and structured environment, providing enrichment, playtime, and plenty of affection (if they enjoy it!). I also have experience with training reinforcement, medication administration, and managing multiple pets in a household. Cleanliness and respect for my client’s home are equally important to me—I always leave things as I found them. My goal is to make each pet’s time with me stress-free and enjoyable so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away!
