House Sitting in Ponderay

“Grace was wonderful! Took great care of our two beloved mutts, got them lots of exercise, and was really attentive and communicative. Shared updates and photos, which is always appreciated 💫”

“Regina is the best! She is very experienced, dependable, and communicates well. All previous pet sitters told me they did not see our cats until they had been at the house for at least three days. Regina walked into our home on the first night, and the cats were all over her! Our dog lay on her feet, and the cats velcroed onto her instantly. Knowing they were in the best hands, I could relax during our time away.”

“Joy is fantastic!!! She provided regular photo updates of our dogs. This really helped to put my mind at ease. The dogs loved Joy! I had piece of mind that they were happy in their own home. We will absolutly have her back anytime!”

“Janae has watched my pets on several occasions, and I totally trust her with everything involving my house and pets. My pets adore her like she is one of the family. Never have I had any problems and she always communicates very well. I dread the day I do not have her around to be able to watch my pets.”

“Brazee is an amazing and responsible pet caregiver who made me feel completely comfortable. I definitely recommend her, as does not hesitate about asking questions and always cares deeply for my pets.”

Book me today, and rest easy knowing your home is in great hands! 🐕🐈🐓 Balancing pet care with my current schedule is a priority, even as I prepare to go back to school and take online college courses. With flexible class times and the ability to work from home, I can ensure my pets receive consistent care and attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to plan feeding, playtime, and exercise breaks around study sessions, ensuring their needs are always met. Additionally, I can monitor their well-being closely while still staying focused on my educational goals. This approach provides a harmonious balance between my responsibilities and giving my pets the love and care they deserve." Caring for pets is second nature to me, as I have a dog of my own and have been pet sitting for over 8 years. My extensive experience includes working with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and needs, which has taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of understanding each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s ensuring regular walks, maintaining feeding schedules, or providing companionship, I’m committed to creating a safe and loving environment for animals. My passion for pet care is evident in the trust I’ve built with both the pets and their owners over the years."

“My four legged fur baby was so well cared for by Jessie when I went out of town! He had a great time and I never worried for even an instant because I knew he was in the most competent and caring hands. I would recommend Jessie without hesitation!”

“Melissa took care of our two cats while we were out of the country and she did a fantastic job! It was very easy to coordinate a schedule with her, she is very responsive and most importantly, trustworthy. I highly recommend Melissa to take care of any and all fur babies! She will always be our go to when we need someone to come into our home and take care of our pets.”

“Kate has grown up with all the critters and is very experienced and studied dog behavior especially and succeed trained up her Belgium Malinois. Dogs is her specialty yet loves all animals. She is dependable, mature beyond her years. Highly recommended! lolly”

About: I grew up around animals and always knew I would work with them. I’m now a veterinary assistant. I can do SQ injections, fluids, liquid or pill medications. I work 4-5 days per week. I can do playtime/bathroom breaks before work and after work. The pet will get my days off and go on hikes if the weather is nice. Where I live, I can’t have pets so I promise to treat your loved ones as my own. My personal pets currently live with my parents so being able to be there for your pets while you’re away will benefit the both of us.

“Abigail has been a great friend of mine since about middle school, she was always so good with her family pets as well as mine and always made sure the fur babies were taken care of. She is very respectful as well, we have had her come over and check in after school for a week while my family and I had to travel for a family emergency and she showed my parents every ounce of respect even texting my parents when our youngest dog got sick! She really is an amazing fit for this job.”

“Stephanie is the BEST dog sitter I’ve ever hired to take care of my dog! She takes Luna on great walks, she connects with her with butt scratches and treats, just the way she likes it. When I am away, I know that Luna is well fed and cared for. Not only does Stephanie LOVE my dog, she has an inanate knowledge of dogs in general, that I appreciate very much. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter or walker!!”

About: I have been house and dog sitting since I was in my teens. I have a Yorkie myself that is registered as a service animal and needs to travel with me, but she is amazing with both dogs and cats, is hypoallergenic, doesn’t shed, and is house-trained.

I’m meticulously clean, responsible, and respectful of your space. I love to hike with my own dog and we’re very active so I’m happy to meet any exercise needs your dog may have as well. Reach out to book today! Your fur babies and home are in good hands. I work full-time M-F, but I’m salaried and could absolutely come check on your pet every couple of hours, if needed, around work meetings. I’m happy to provide walks in the morning, afternoon or evening to maintain your pet’s normal routine. I’m available all day on weekends and all evening. I know how important it is for some pets to remain in their home when their parents are away. I’m happy to give your pet that comfort and security while providing additional services, such as cleaning up any unexpected pet messes, bringing in your mail, and watering houseplants. I have a small service dog that needs to travel with me, but she is great with both cats and dogs, is hypoallergenic, and doesn’t shed. I’m meticulously clean and responsible, and love animals.

“Lucille was just amazing- she helped us watch our dog last minute, and was incredibly flexible! She too such good care, send update photos, and I could just tell how sweet and loving she is to all the dogs. Would book again every time!”

“Hallie is wonderful! She watched our dog and cat over the Christmas holidays and went above and beyond in taking care of them!”

“I am writing to highly recommend Brooke as a very responsible and dedicated pet sitter, dog walker, and all around animal lover! Over the past several years she helped take care of our beloved Bella and Rocco (blond labs) with exceptional professionalism and a true genuine love for animals. Brooke consistently demonstrated reliability and attentiveness. Our sweet pups just adored her and would literally cry for her. She always goes above and beyond...and willing to give expert advice where needed. They were always so happy to see Brooke which speaks volumes about the bond they formed. I trust Brooke completely with the care of my pets and home. Her communication is excellent...always providing updates and photos! I wholeheartedly recommend Brooke for any pet care, dog walking or pet sitting position. She is not only skilled but compassionate, creating a safe and happy environment for the animals she cares for.”

“Suzi was fantastic! Our large breed 2 yr old pups loved Suzi and she was very attentive to every detail. Very smooth planning, consistent communications, very punctual and just what folks want in a responsible house/pet sitter. House was left spotless, no surprises at all! We’ll try to use Suzi any chance we get when she’s available! Tom and Amy”
