House Sitting Platea

“Veronica was a pleasure to work with. She took special care of our Izzy while we were on a family trip to Montana. My baby doesn't take to many people but, they got along great. Veronica was nice enough to send me a text now and then to ease my stress of leaving Izzy behind. (first time apart) I look forward to having Veronica stay with our girl again on a future trip. SD”

About: Born & raised in Texas, recently moved to the area, grew up with/around animals my whole life; Having over 20 years of experience with a variety of breeds from livestock, outdoor to full indoor fur babies I'm capable and reliable to take the best care of your lil' one! I’m quick on my feet and ready to take on any task. Lately I have transitioned into working more from home which gives me plenty of free time during the days & evenings either to drop by and check in or go for a nice long walk/run to exercise your pet or just stick to their normal active routine if they have one. You can rest assured that if you happen to be out of town that the regimen you set will be strictly followed- I’m always happy to send candid updates via pics/vids of your lil one when you’re missing them. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns; I am delighted to answer any that you may have! Currently working from home, I have ample opportunity to tend to your fur babies needs at any given time during the day/evening. If you are looking for someone with a flexible schedule who is willing to drop what they are doing to check on your loved one, then I'm the right sitter for you. Whether it is taking care of paws or claws, I genuinely will provide the best level of care regarding your fuzzy family member with the highest regard making sure their routine stays uninterrupted. If your dog loves to run, then we will run! Also more than happy to relax and chill with the low energy types while still having that playful interaction if they're in the mood.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 25 plus years and I currently help out rescues in my spare time. All animals need love patience and guidance from their caregivers. My heart has always been with dogs/animals .Your pet will be so loved and cared for and I have plenty of references you can call. I currently work full time and I’m out by 4 pm. You can call and we can discuss details of what times you will need. I have done long vacations for a client so I’m willing to work with the schedules you need. I have a very big fenced in yard and double lot! I live in millcreek in a nice safe area. My home inside is set up nice where I have door gates to separate if needed. I own one pup now that will be turning one year old soon and could use a sweet friend!

“Aleah was punctual and provided regular updates during her visit. She was very attentive to Kobe and had a great personality that Kobe quickly warmed up to. We highly recommend Aleah for a pet in-home sitting.”

“Kayla is amazing! She took excellent care of my doggos, sent pictures every day, followed instructions to a tee. One of my doggos got sick from doggy daycare and she called me immediately, took them to the vet, gave them meds, and made arrangements for the dogs to be cared for while she worked. She is OUTSTANDING!!!!!!”

About: Hello, my name is Tammy! I've been caring for all kinds of animals since I was a child. Pet parents have trusted me to care for their homes and pets for years. I also have experience volunteering at local shelters and rescues. I've cared for many animals from predatory birds, farm animals, to cats, specialty animals, and zoo animals too. I'm currently working on certifications to better my pet care abilities. I'm happy to clean up your home and do all the extras when it comes to housesitting. I genuinely enjoy helping people and pets. I'm devoted to making sure your pets/home are well cared for so you and your fur kiddos can have a stress free time. You can find more about me at paws4j 🐾❤️ My work schedule is very flexible. I can be available any times needed, so long as I know in advance. Your pets' care is my priority (: I have taken care of pets over nights, for drop-ins, walks, and day care. I have experience with some training. I can follow any instructions needed for them and your home. I love meeting new creatures and my goal is to be sure that you don't have to worry about a thing while you're gone.

About: With over a decade of hands‑on animal‑care experience, I bring a calm, knowledgeable approach to every pet I work with. I’m a Zoo Science major with training in behavior observation, enrichment planning, and safe handling techniques. I also train service dogs, so I’m comfortable with structured routines, behavior cues, and dogs who need a little extra patience. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or a senior needing slow, gentle care, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy. I’m currently a full-time student with plenty of flexible time outside of class. I’m available on weekends and throughout weekdays between classes, making it easy to fit in walks, playtime, or drop-in visits whenever your pup needs me. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. Whether in my care or yours, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment, follow routines closely, and give extra patience, love, and attention to build trust and ensure your furry friend feels secure.

About: I’ve had and taken care of cats and other animals since a very young age, my friends and family come to me to check on, feed and play with their pets. I currently work mornings 7am to 4pm, I’m home the rest of the time when im not at work. There is also another person in the home to help out during those hours! I have a fenced in yard and other dogs in the house to keep your pets company, I can easily cage or separate your pets if needed.

“Olivia is great and great with our pups. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I love animals just as much as I love my family. I’ve had pets my whole life and have cared for more than I’ve owned. I’ve had a variety of animals. I’ve had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, birds (parakeets, cockatiels and I babysat an African Grey Parrot in my home for a year), snakes, a scorpion, hermit crabs, fish, a rabbit, a turtle and a jumping spider. I also volunteered at a Wildlife Rescue in Austin Tx, where I helped care for birds, opossums (my favorites!), rabbits, raccoons, skunks, etc. I fed baby birds and tube fed baby opossum (I had to insert the tube down their throats to feed them due to the way they suckle in their mother’s pouch). I have experience caring for sick and injured pets, including diabetic cats and other ill animals. I’ve given medicines orally and through injections, such as administering fluids under the skin with an IV and giving insulin shots. I have a disabled cat whose back legs don’t work properly due to an injury she sustained as a kitten, before we adopted her. Several of my pets have lived to be 20, so I also have plenty of experience with sweet, older animals. My dog is a bit of a nervous traveler and is terrified of loud noises and car rides; he has severe anxiety, so he sometimes needs medication to help him feel comfortable. I found out that I’m autistic (formerly called Asperger’s) a few years ago. I always thought I was just different/weird! 😆 I also have OCD and ADHD, which means I really take good care of your pets and will keep everything tidy! I’m also passionate about houseplants and would be happy to care for yours if you'd like! I don’t work a full time job, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m also a homebody, so I don’t have a busy schedule either. I try to give your pets the calmest and happiest experience while you’re not home. My goal is to help them forget you’re gone, by following the same routine they are used to and giving them all the love, attention and playtime they need. I’m also judgement free and will follow your house rules, religious or otherwise. I will always treat your pets and home with respect.

About: I've always been an animal lover and have spent years caring for pets for family, friends, neighbors, and my dad's clients. Being the person people trust with their pets is something I take seriously and truly enjoy. I love getting to know each pet's personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, cat care, or house sitting, I treat every pet like part of the family. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. Right now, I have an open and flexible schedule while I’m looking for work, so I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the day. I offer dependable, detail-oriented pet care for dogs, cats, and small animals such as rabbits, reptiles, and fish. My approach is centered on consistency, safety, and comfort following each pet’s routine closely while providing calm, attentive care. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, walks, or companionship, I make sure every pet feels relaxed, respected, and cared for like family.

“Amanda is very caring, thoughtful and prompt with communication. Our dog enjoyed his time with her and she gave us great peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been dog/cat/house sitting since I was about 14! What started out as something I could do for a little extra money quickly turned into something I have a strong passion for and through that I have gained reliable clients and relationships! I have been taking care of many animals through those years and have grown to appreciate each breed as their own individual! Though I’m not specialized in animal care my love, vigilance and passion for helping and taking care of animals makes up for that. I’ve had three cats and a big dog. My latest cat is blind so I’m familiar with some medical care as well! And if you have a reptile (no venomous) no worries! I have experience with them as well as I have my own leapord gecko! I know everyone wants someone loving, reliable and trustworthy to watch over their fur babies and I will not disappoint! On a typical day in the summer I usually have off as I work full time during the school year. Which leaves me free during the day and night for visits or to watch over night. I am free to watch, walk or just play with your fur baby at any time! I typically will do a no charge visit prior to me meeting a new client and animal/s to get a feel for their environment and how your day to day typically runs so I know their routine. I try not to disrupt their normal routine as much as possible! Once we have established the routine I will follow it depending on your specifications! I have experience with all shapes and sizes. I typically bring in mail and packages, water plants and light cleaning if you so desire. It’s all what you’d like! It’s you and your fur babies world I’m just living in it!

About: I have a deep love for animals and truly enjoy the process of connecting with them. For me, it’s more than just "watching" a pet; I love learning about their unique personalities, specific traits, and individual needs to ensure they feel safe and happy while their owners are away. PS - If you are wanting a house sit it is just me and not Thomas since we live in different areas now. Unfortunately we got an update from our housing authority (in Minneapolis) that we aren't supposed to have dogs 50 lb or more in the condo, so we can not accept bigger dogs unless its for a short duration. Thomas is a homebody and just goes into his art studio for a couple of hours in St Paul Mon-Fri. His hours are very flexible usually from 11:30am-3pm and can be less if needed to be home with a pet. My schedule is also flexible as i'm an independent canvasser for PBS and pick up para substitutiting at public and private schools. Well I put my clients needs first. Just like when I nanny or do childcare work or teaching I really try to listen to the "parents" aka pet owners in this scenario and listen to what their desires are. Ultimately I'm working for you so I want your cares and concerns to come first! I am very happy to provide or use your toys and play with your pet and pamper them. Give them just enough food and space to warm up to me. Let me know if your pets have any dietary needs. I have experience taking care of pets with seizures as well and giving their medicine in with their daily meals.

“Amber is amazing!!! She treated our fur-babies with the most love while we were away! We got picture updates as check ins, and she took tremendous care of our home! 100/10 would book again!!”

About: I have had pets for all of my life and have gained a wealth of experience along the way. For several years I worked at a pet boarding and grooming facility where I obtained the knowledge of light grooming, and administering medications such as insulin. During my time working at this facility I also learned how to handle pets that may be aggressive wether it was caused by food, toys, or anxiety. I currently have four dogs and two cats who I love dearly. I have also had the joy of taking care of many animals all the way from puppy/kitten hood all the way to the rainbow bridge. I know how hard it can be to find someone you can trust to care for your fuzzy family member, but I hope you can find that with me. If you have any questions please ask me and I will be happy to answer I am currently working as a shipping manager for a small factory but I would like to make caring for pets my full time job. I have an invisible fence with one and a half acres of area to roam. I have pet stairs leading to those hard to reach areas (like the couch or bed) for small or senior pets. I also have a cart to pull behind my bike if there are any pets that aren't so active but like fresh air. My cats enjoy the luxury of having their own bedroom so they can have peace from the dogs when needed. And of course I have a plethora of toys and treats. I am willing to make accommodations for special needs pets.
