House Sitting in Pine Island Ridge

About: I have grown up always with a pet in the house and have a specific love for dogs. My most recent experience has been with my dog, Sparta. She is a whippet and I have had her for 4 years. I am currently a college student in University looking for summer opportunities. My hours are flexible and can be more tailored to your needs if they are communicated to me. I care for pets in the way that the owner most appropriately desires but will always love your pet as if they were my own!

“Abbie was amazing! So sweet & communicative the whole time I was away from KoKo. She gave me so much peace of mind and left everything tidy and clean at my home. She even drew the cutest picture of my baby as a parting gift. Would highly recommend to anyone in need of a sitter & am definitely booking with her again!”

“Got it 😄 here’s a short, playful, 5-star version: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Claire was amazing with our Mylo! She followed all of his daddies’ very specific (ok… slightly neurotic 😅) instructions perfectly and kept us smiling with great photos and updates. Mylo was clearly happy, relaxed, and totally loved. We would book Claire again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! 🐾💙”

“I am so grateful for the amazing care my puppy received! The sitter went above and beyond, keeping me updated with photos and making sure he was happy and well cared for. My puppy is high-energy, and I truly appreciate knowing he was in good hands. It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust. Highly recommend this sitter to anyone looking for reliable and loving care!”

“Crystal was amazing. Our dogs absolutely loved her, and it was clear right away how knowledgeable and kind she is. She kept them on their normal schedule and routine, which is huge for us, and she was super communicative and helpful the entire time we were away. It was such a relief being able to go on vacation and not worry about the dogs at all. We’d 100% book with her again and HIGHLY recommend her!”

Chloe S.

“Wonderful dog sitter! She sent so many updates and our dogs loved her. Thank you so much!”

“Mafalda amazing sitter! Super communicative, always on time, and truly cared for our pups. She went above and beyond when one of our pups had an accident in the crate—handled everything perfectly. She also spent quality time with them, not just quick visits. We came home to happy dogs and will absolutely book her again!”

About: Hi everyone my name is Bridie above is a typo!! Since I’m young and active college athlete, I’m comfortable handling all kinds of dogs from big, strong, energetic dogs to smaller ones too!! I don’t mind long walks, running around, or even getting pulled a little sometimes lol. I also love to make our shy or anxious dogs out there feel comfortable quickly:)) I am currently an intern Monday–Friday from 11 AM–4 PM. I’m available for early morning walks from 6–10 AM and evening/night walks from 4:30–10 PM. I’m also available to do both morning and evening walks. Although I can’t offer my home yet, I will care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I’ll follow their normal routine, take them on walks, play with them, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve spent most of my life around animals, including dogs and horses, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily life. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, exercise, medications, and providing attentive, calm companionship. My background as a registered nurse has also strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and ability to stay attentive to each pet’s individual needs and comfort. As a nurse with a flexible schedule. I have the ability to provide dependable pet care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, and occasional last-minute bookings when available. Recent empty nesters. We have a yard and a pool on the property. The pool is not fenced, so pets are always supervised closely when outdoors. Safety is my top priority, and I make sure each dog is monitored at all times and cared for according to their routine and comfort level.

“Charlene was the reason I was able to enjoy my week long trip! It was the first time I left my cat for so long and I got tons of pictures and videos😻 Charlene was such a great find!! I highly recommend her to care for your pet and home 🤗”

About: I have had many different dogs over the years and cared for more than one dog at a time, which makes me very comfortable in caring for your fur babies and understanding their many personalities. Also, I believe socialization is very important for all dogs so if you are comfortable, I am able to take them to a dog park (I have one near my home). This will allow them to create new friends and make their experience more enjoyable. Overall, I am trying to avoid getting another pet, so if you let me care for your fur baby I would heavily appreciate it :D As you can tell from my photos I treat all pets like they are a part of my family. Rest assured your baby and I will become best friends. I am a remote worker which allows me more time to care for your babies and a lot of flexibility. I believe this would be a mutually beneficial relationship as I'd be able to enjoy my day playing with dogs, while you won't be worried about taking your dog out. If you ever need to board your dog I am available on the weekends and if you need a house sitter because it would make your fur baby more comfortable I am flexible on those dates as well. I have a multitude of toys, treats, and puzzles to keep them engaged and happy. I also have a dog park which tends to not be busy which allows for running and fetch time in a safe environment.

About: I have had pets since I was 10 years old. I have had dogs in the past. Some from shelter and or rescues. While having dogs in the past, I have learned a few tricks of training them. Never, like ever allow a dog to pulled: My first dog (unexperienced at that time) pulled me toward a flock of geneses. From that moment I realize I did not like to be pulled by dogs that do not know how to navigate the walk. That didn't turn out well. So instead of having my dogs walking in front of me they'll be trained to walk on the leash well on the side or behind me. Making accidental mistakes with your dog helps both you and pet to learned and be trained well. I have train quite a few dogs along walking my own around places that has plenty of dogs. I do not considered myself professional, top notch dog trainer; I've watched and see different tactics on how to train dogs. So to conclude, if you like me to help with training your dog the basics commands or walk properly on leash I am able to assist you. Wish you all best, pets parents. Hi, my schedule during the week, I work part time as an RBT before and after my work schedule I work in training my clients (dogs). I work with owners how to well train; burn out their fur babies. I work four days out of the week part time so that I have more time to work with the clientele. My previous dog was fearful of all things in this world, I had crate him for three months. After the three months his demeanor had change for the better. He no longer was crated as much during the day but roam free where he is limited. Depending on your dog if he or she needs to crated: fearful, too excited needs to settle in a crate, or nursing pups with mum. All tempting items will be removed if your pet is destructive he or she will be crated with toys for stimulant. Dogs will be walking for 1-2 hours (I am very active) 2-3 times a day. With morning and night.

“Thank you, Stacy for taking such good care of my kitties.”
