House Sitting In Pester Ridge

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for animals of all kinds. Although I currently live in a small apartment and can’t have pets of my own right now, pet sitting gives me the chance to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I regularly dog sit for a married couple whenever they travel out of town, and I also cat sit for a woman who lives in an apartment. I have experience feeding, watering, walking, playing with pets, giving medications, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention or a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to provide loving care you can trust. I’m a teacher, which means I have the entire summer off and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule for drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and pet sitting. Once the school year begins again, I’d still love to continue working with returning clients and their pets in the evenings, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I truly enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their owners. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, dependable, and make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any special care requests to keep your pet happy and stress-free. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a calm presence, I’m patient and happy to adapt to their individual personality and needs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Marikita was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took excellent care of our two dogs and took extra care to keep them in their normal routines while we were away. We were kept in the loop with detailed updates every day and plenty of pictures. I really feel like we received top level service, and I never worried about our pups. I would definitely recommend working with Marikita!”

“I would 100% recommend Maleah for an extended stay! She left my apartment in great shape and took great care of my dog even with some special medical instructions.”

Julia R.

“Audrey is very friendly and an excellent communicator. She confirmed all appointments we set prior to the pet sitting dates and sent daily messages when we were away. She also sent pictures knowing we enjoy seeing the pups even when we’re gone. Audrey left the house very clean including running laundry and the dishwasher upon her departure. I hope to use Audrey’s services many times again in the future!”

Wendy R.

“Emma did a great job with my 2 dogs this past weekend. She communicated regularly with me and attached photos and a video. She seemed to be especially patient with my 9 month old with a little extra puppy energy. I’ve never used a Rover sitter for several days while I was out of town, but Emma made me feel confident they were in good hands.”

Karen S.

“Anna was absolutely amazing with our three shelties! We got lots of pictures of them having a blast and daily communication which helped ease any worry while we travelled out of state. Dogs were happy when we got home and I think they are wondering when Anna is coming over again for snuggles 🥰”

About: I've grown up around all different breeds and temperaments of dogs and have dog sat for both small and large pups! I'm also looking to study animal science or go the pre vet route in college! I'm currently working a part time job only a few hours a few times a week so I will have plenty of time to walk, check in on, or stop by and spend time with your pup! I care for pets making sure they feel safe and comfortable as well as communicating with owners so I know what kinds of things their dogs like to do or things to avoid

“Alaina was so responsible with our pups and house! Very good with communication and Shari g pics of the pups while we were away! She went above and beyond! So appreciated everything!!”

Tracy S.

“Our dog was immediately comfortable with Kristin and was clearly well taken care of during our 2-night house sit while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, and she was quick to reply to messages when we reached out. I would happily use Kristin again in future and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

Kris C.

“Chelsea is amazing! My husky Maddy just loves her and my dog is usually a little timid and shy. I rely on Chelsea many times when I'm in a bind and she's always willing to help me out. Thank you so much!”

About: I have had dogs since I was born. Have had two of my own and then have always had a family dog. Have sat dogs for friends, family, and coworkers. Love going for walks and would love to take your pal on one with me. Monday - Friday I work 8 - 4:30. I have a 30 minute lunch that I can let the dog out. And then after 4:30 I can take dogs for walks or house sit dogs all evening. Weekends have availability all day. Very flexible! I will follow any rules or instructions left for taking care of your dog. Just let me know and I will make it happen! I can provide company, play with them, feed them, and take them for walks.

“Hannah is phenomenal. Super friendly, punctual and professional. Scout is super timid and he took to her immediately and actually gave her a hug on her second sitting appointment, which he never does. I highly recommend her!!”

Brad O.

“Hannah did a great job with the house sitting and looking after our dog, Geordi. She contacted us a couple days before our trip to re-confirm the start time, which also confirmed for us that she was planning to be there. She sent photos from time to time of Geordi on a walk, playing in the house and yard, and getting all the attention his heart desired. Hannah left the house looking as good or better than she found it. We would love to have Hannah house sit again.”

Chuck F.

“Maria was awesome with Winston! He was so well entertained and loved! She was keeping us updated with texts and pictures and I couldn't be more thankful!”

Taylor C.

“Ashley did a wonderful job watching our two dogs! She was super professional and we felt so comfortable knowing our pets were with her, even when our oldest dog got a stomach bug a few days prior. She even photos, videos and updates every day! We definitely plan to book with her again.”

Audra H.

“Nathan took extra care with our very senior pup (14+, fragile condition) and they got along well during his overnight stay at our home. He’s very conscientious, read our instructions in advance and asked good questions to learn more or get clarity. We came home to a calm pup and tidy home. We hope we have Coco long enough to have Nathan sit with her again!”

Teresa I.

“Marie took such good care of Hunter! She took him on lots of walks and made sure he got the attention he needed. Marie clearly likes dogs and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”

Jessica C.

“Avery did a great job watching our pets. We had her stay overnight and our house and pets were very well cared for. We will definitely be reaching out to her next time we are out of town.”

Kayla D.

“Syble did a great job!! This was the first time I left my pup alone, and I was not nervous one bit to leave her with Syble. I got a bunch of pictures and my pup was very spoiled!!”

About: As someone who works in the pet care industry and has three dogs of my own, caring for animals is a huge part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from high-energy puppies to senior dogs needing extra comfort and attention, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I work full time in the pet care industry, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life! With at least a week’s notice, I’m able to make my schedule flexible to best meet the needs of your pet and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I currently offer care within my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I know how important consistency can be for animals, especially for shy pets, seniors, or pets who may become stressed in new environments. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, personality, and comfort needs to help them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind during visits.
