House Sitting in Petersburg

About: I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and birds. I love all animals, young and old. I’m looking forward to taking care of your fur baby!! I work 2 part time/student assistant jobs so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am always willing to schedule and plan ahead as well. I have one cat at home, but that’s it. I am not afraid to work with dogs that are excited or jumpy and I can take them in and out of their crates!

“James was amazing with my two big dogs and house sitting while we were away for a few days! Easy communication, adorable pictures, and somehow pacified my wild 2.5yr pit/mastiff mix. Highly recommend booking with him.”

“She has her own bedroom at our house. She’s here a lot. Funny thing is we probably wouldn’t even recognize each other at the grocery store. She would sure recognize the dogs, though. Need I say more? Lol.”

“Bobbie was WONDERFUL. We were nervous to leave our puppy for the first time, Bobbie really put us at ease. She’s kind, professional, and very attentive. We came home to a house that was just as clean as we left it, and a puppy who was well taken care of. We received regular updates while we were gone with photos, which was joyful. We will definitely be using Bobbie again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for a long time. I love playing with dogs especially with dog toys like tug of war or fetch. I can also just sit with your dog and keep them company if they enjoy having lazy days I work full time 3 pm to midnight currently but am open to overnights when I get off work and staying with your fur family thru the day before work. I have had animals in my house for many years now and have always been very loving and caring for them. Making sure they get walked accordingly and get loved accordingly.

About: Hi! I’m Olivia, and I’d love the chance to care for your pet! I have several years of experience pet sitting for family friends and neighbors, and I’m comfortable following specific routines for feeding, medicine, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I absolutely love animals and grew up with two dogs, so I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m also super active and love walks, so I’d be happy to make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention! I’m a recent University of Michigan graduate and current master’s student at the University of Georgia, spending the summer in Ann Arbor for research and family. I’m doing part-time research on a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my days around what works best for you and your pet. This gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pet throughout the day and week. I care for pets in my client’s home by doing my best to keep them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. Pets obviously do best in familiar environments, so I make sure to follow any instructions closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and other daily habits. I always give them plenty of attention, affection, and patience so they feel secure while you’re away. I make it a priority to treat every home with respect and communicate clearly and reliably so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Renee took such good care of our Dexter!”

About: We provide boarding for your cat or dog in a family-based environment. We try to keep a structured and caring home environment for pets while their owners are away. Our goal is to keep the experience for you and your pet as safe and stress free as possible. Additionally, I have First Aid and CPR Certification for cats and dogs. I am also Fear Free Certified. Being Fear Free Certified means I was trained to look at subtle signs of stress in dogs and cats before they escalate. As well as techniques to make interactions with dogs and cats less stressful. My husband works from home, and I'm also at home with my children. During the school year I do drop off and pick up for the kids. My husband is home at this time. Therefore, dogs are generally always supervised, although there may be brief periods of time we are all out of the home. We have an area designated for the dogs in our home. This helps reduce the risk of escaping and helps keep them more safe. We also have a fenced in backyard. However, we always supervise interactions in the backyard between dogs or when the dogs are alone.

About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician at a shelter I used to volunteer for, and have had my own dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve recently gone part-time and would enjoy walking your pets or stopping in for those needed potty breaks. I used to walk dogs for the shelter I now work at. I also foster animals for them, most dogs and puppies. I work at the shelter Thursdays and Fridays. I am available other days of the week on a part-time basis. I don’t have preferred days in mind at this time. I will certainly follow all instructions provided and will treat your pet as my own while in my care. I will respect and properly care for your home environment.

About: I currently have 2 dogs, age range 5-7 years. I am a very active person and I love including my fur babies in my daily activities. We enjoy the riverbank behind our house and large 60 acre walking trails just a quarter-mile down the street. I treat every pet as if he/she were my own. I have experience with many shapes, sizes, and personalities. I also have experience in administering injections and oral medication. I have had pets with medical conditions such as diabetes requiring insulin, and pets with special needs such as complete blindness and deafness. I have had high energy and low energy pets. I can handle anything your pet may require and I love them all the same. I am happiest when I’m taking care of animals and I would love nothing more than to help take care of yours. I work from home during the work week. I am home during the evening and on the weekends as well. Your pet will have frequent bathroom breaks during any stay at my house and plenty of attention. Your dog will enjoy all of the same luxuries my own dogs enjoy daily. All of my dogs get along great with other dogs of all shapes and sizes and they love meeting new friends. While staying in your home, I will respect the rules and schedule of your household.

About: Hello fellow fur parents! I'm Caitlin, I am a fur mama myself, not to just those I own, but to everyone else's pets but to also the strays. I know how it feels to have to leave your furbabies in someone else's care, especially to someone you never even met. It's worrisome and not a go-to situation. But I can put your mind at ease. I promise, your pet will be cared for and treated as if it were my own child too. I love all animals, no discrimination of species, breed, age, health problems, nothing. Caring for animals is what I love and do best. I love being able to give others the sense of relief knowing they left their animals in good hands and can enjoy their time away without having to worry. And to make you feel extra comfortable, I send videos and pictures along with detailed updates every couple of hours. So go on and take that weekend get-away, family vacation, road trip & know you left your babies with someone reliable and trustworthy. I have years of experience including professional. I also caretake in livestock with extra charge. With my current schedule, I am available in the late afternoons, evenings and nights, including overnight stays. I will only be away for the mornings until the late afternoon for work. Your furbaby will then have their entire afternoon to play outside to their hearts content, get some dinner, then enjoy their evening/nights getting all the lovins and relaxion until it's time to sleep. I have a dog of my own along with 2 cats. Your dog will have to be cat friendly to stay. No exceptions. I have large yard with plenty of space to run. It is not fenced but it is far from the road and any dangers. They will be attended to at all times, so they will always be safe.
