House Sitting Parksdale

“Great communication, lots of pics. House was in perfect condition. Alexis did an amazing job, I would definitely recommend her. I felt confident my pups were in great hands! Always love when the person caring for my 2 energetic pups has big dog experience. My 70lb lap dog got all of his necessary snuggles!”

About: My work with animals started when I was just 10 years old, volunteering at a family friend’s dog daycare. What began as a childhood passion turned into over 15 years of hands-on experience working with animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and temperaments! Over the years, I’ve worked at several dog daycares, volunteered with shelters and rescue organizations, completed an internship at a nonprofit feline shelter and spay/neuter clinic, and worked as an Animal Control Officer. I also have experience in animal behavior and training, with a particular interest in behavioral rehabilitation, socialization, and working with dogs who need a little extra patience or understanding. I remain heavily involved in animal rescue, particularly with Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds, and regularly help foster, evaluate, and rehabilitate dogs in need. At home, my husband and I have quite the little zoo! Our family includes five large dogs (four Belgian Malinois and a German Shepherd), five cats, and some exotic pets. Having such a diverse household has given me extensive experience with different species, personalities, care requirements, and the importance of safely managing a multi-animal home. I’m also trained in pet CPR and first aid, have experience with pet nutrition, and offer basic grooming care, including bathing, nail trims, teeth brushing, and ear cleaning. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior animals, and accommodating pets with special needs or behavioral quirks. I understand that every animal is an individual. Some want to spend the day playing, exploring, and staying active, while others would much rather curl up on the couch and enjoy some company. My goal is to make your pets feel as comfortable, safe, and loved as possible while you’re away. Whether that means extra exercise, enrichment activities, maintaining their usual routine, or making room for one more in bed, I’m happy to accommodate! I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your animals, especially when they have unique needs. As someone with a houseful of my own, I completely understand. I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. A little note for fellow pet professionals: I’m always open to discussing reciprocal pet care arrangements with other experienced, qualified, and trustworthy sitters. Sometimes the best support system is another animal person who understands exactly what goes into caring for our four-legged (and occasionally eight-legged!) family members. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 I’m fortunate to work from home while continuing my education and pursuing a career in nursing! I work on-call, after-hours shifts in healthcare, which allows me to remain home for the majority of my workday. Occasionally, I need to step out briefly to see a patient, but these visits are typically short, and pets are rarely left alone for more than a couple of hours. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m able to spend plenty of time with the animals in my care, providing regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, and lots of attention. Caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life, so welcoming a few extra furry friends fits naturally into our routine! Safety is always my number one priority when caring for animals! With my background in Animal Control, animal behavior, training, and rescue, I’ve learned just how important it is to provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment for every pet, regardless of their personality or needs. Our home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore. We also have spare bedrooms, extra crates and kennels, baby gates, and designated spaces that allow us to accommodate different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether your pet enjoys socializing with other animals or would prefer their own quiet space, we’re happy to make accommodations! We’re very intentional about preventing accidents. Food, medications, cleaning supplies, and other potentially hazardous items are kept securely stored to prevent accidental ingestion. Pets are supervised during outdoor activities and interactions with other animals, and we never force introductions or allow unsupervised interactions between resident pets and guests. Our own dogs are crate-trained, which allows us to safely separate everyone whenever necessary. One of the biggest benefits of our household is that someone is almost always home! On the rare occasion we both need to step out, we make sure every animal is safely secured in an appropriate space. I’m also happy to accommodate crate routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions your pet may have. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the same approach while respecting their established routines and environment. I make sure doors and gates are secured, food and medications are handled appropriately, and pets receive the attention, exercise, and supervision they’re accustomed to. I understand that trusting someone with your pets is a big deal. As someone with a houseful of animals myself, I know how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re safe. My goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention to detail that I expect for my own animals, while keeping you updated with photos and messages along the way!

About: Strays and lost dogs always seem to find me and of course I can never just leave them. I feel responsible to care for them like my own pet and do my best to find their true owners. I understand that love for our pets❤️ I am currently only working part time so I have plenty of time for you and your pets😊. I am available daily Monday - Friday. I have a fenced backyard and plenty of pet supplies for them. When walking I try to focus on only 1 or 2 dogs at a time so they can receive my full attention!

About: I've been a pet sitter for more than a decade. I am thoroughly proficient with puppies and high energy dogs, such as Golden Retrievers. I enjoy looking after and creating connections with pets and their owners alike. I have open availability to care for your pets! I am currently on the job hunt, and I am pursuing pet setting as a side opportunity. I believe that the best care is around the clock supervision, and clear/concise communication with pet owners. I am always keeping the pets under my care stimulated and enjoying our time together.

“Asianna was great! She was prompt, and kept me updated on how my dog was doing. He's shy but she did a wonderful job of getting to know him. I will definitely be asking Asianna back in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up with a big group of animals my whole life including, dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens. I grew up on a farm in clovis as well as a farm in Oregon where I took care of the animals we had. I’ve been known to be very trustworthy and reliable to my friends and family for pet and housesitting sometimes watching more than one pet at a time while they are out of town! I’m a student right now living on my own. I currently have open availability and i’m looking for a full time job to do while using my passion of pet care to keep me afloat! 🤍 I don’t offer in home services due to having tow cats of my own and too many problems with cohabitation with other animals. But in your home I can adhere to any schedule provided for your furry friends incuding but not limited to, walks, playtime, kennel rounds, backyard fun, medicine, and cuddles.

“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful dog sitting for my two dogs. Both of my dogs warmed up to her very quickly and She treated my dogs just as they were her own. She sent me updates and let me know how the dogs were doing.”

About: I would be the perfect cat sitter because I believe every cat is perfect and has never done anything wrong ever! I’ve always had a preference towards cats since I was a little girl. I too have strong boundaries, make people earn my love, and hate loud noises! Please consider me when looking for a cat sitter. I would love to come over and watch your cat while they judge me in the corner the entire time! Jokes aside- I am honest, reliable, and respect animals deeply. Your kitty would be in great hands! I am working part time right now so my schedule is really flexible! Let me know what works with you, and I will try my best to make it happen. My shifts at my other job are never longer than 4-6 hours, so that is the longest I’d ever be away! I love structure. The more specific the better! This is your pet and I want to be you while you’re not there. Any feeding schedule, medication, and/or routine you need me to follow I would be more than happy to oblige!

About: Hi, my name is Jenn! I've grown up around animals my entire life. When I am not pet sitting, I foster both cats and dogs, which has given me experience working with senior pets, puppies, kittens, and animals that need extra patience and support. I believe pet care goes beyond basic needs. I take the time to ensure pets feel safe, mentally stimulated, and comfortable. Whether that means positive reinforcement training, enriching play, and giving them extra affection. I also love baking homemade healthy snacks for pets and enjoy learning new ways to ensure your pet is happy. For the next three months, my schedule is flexible. I am available to board pets during the weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate various schedules for people who are vacationing or need a dog walker. I strive to create a calm and fun environment for your pet. Currently, there are no children in my home which allows for a quieter more relaxed setting for pets who may need extra comfort or routine. In my home, I have plenty of space for your pet's needs. I have one dog and two cats that are friendly with other dogs and cats. However, I can also accommodate an additional room or a separate area for your pet. Simply share your preference, and I can accommodate it.

“This was my second time hiring Jonnie to care for pets in my home. Once again she did an amazing job! My fur-babies loved her and she goes above and beyond to care for all animals (even health challenged ones) and my home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter who is trustworthy, reliable, and detailed in providing optimum care for dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and the home. Thanks Jonnie!!!”

“Mary Elizabeth was a fantastic pet sitter. This was our first time using a sitter because we are new dog owners, so we were worried about all kinds of things. From the moment of the meet and greet, our dog was at ease. She came over for the meet and greet and got all the instructions. She sent plenty of pictures, updating us when she arrived and when she left. She accommodated a minor schedule adjustment with ease. She was exactly the support we needed - our Velcro dog is used to me being at home all day and my roommate works 12 hour days. Mary Elizabeth kept our dog company for several hours each day and it put us at great ease during my vacation. She tidied up the coming areas of the house and left a beautiful flower as a finishing touch. We look forward to using her services again and again.”

“Brooklynn was wonderful! She made me feel confident that my Tobi was in good hands, and he was. I’ll definitely request her again!”

“Rebecca did wonderful with Jax! She did so great, pretty sure my dog misses her! And she always kept us updated on his status and what they were up to(with pictures)!”

Ally M.

“Nico had another great week with Nelson. Nelson goes above and beyond, making sure Nico is pampered and sends regular updates. He always leaves the house spotless and removes all the stress of being away from my old Carolina Dog. You can rest assured your pet will be in excellent hands with Nelson!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 and my family always had service dogs/pets so also training and constantly dealing with dogs! :) I just graduated from UCSD, currently taking a gap year while I apply for MA programs! I usually have a lot of flexibility with time! Your safety and your pets safety is just as important as mine. Having communication about safety/rules is crucial to having a healthy and safe pet!

About: My life is surrounded by animals, and that's the way I like it! I have been working with animals since I was 2 years old if not younger. I started out assisting in rehabilitating wildlife, which never left. I trained several dogs, from showmanship, to basic training, and even as a personal service dog. I have won several best of shows in showmanship. My daily routine is as follows: wake up, get coffee, wake birds up and let them out, let dogs out, feed cats, dogs, birds, make breakfast, hang out with the animals and wake up, eat lunch, clean house while incorporating working with the animals, bath time!, make social media content with the animals, start dinner with the animals, feed animals their foods, snack time, hang out with family, put everyone to bed, goodnight! I treat my animals better than I treat myself 😅 people/souls that can't help themselves, I've always had a place in my heart for, and I always do my best for them.
