House Sitting in Port Matilda

“We used Phoebe as a house dog sitter for the 1st time - and would be happy to use her again. She was very conscientious and took fantastic care of our sometimes shy dog Nuka. She quickly brought her out of her shell and Nuka was quite relaxed and attached in no time. Phoebe took great care of our farmhouse.”

“Ruth is amazing. We were on a trip for over two weeks. She made sure the dogs and cats were loved and well-cared for the entire time we were gone. She sent updates and pictures to let us know they were all doing well. Since it was summer, our dog and cat both shed. She vacuumed the house so the dust bunnies did not conquer our planet. She is just wonderful!”

About: My extensive 9 years of experience, coupled with a recent hands-on journey of training and nurturing my own dog from just 8 weeks old, has equipped me with invaluable skills in pet care. Additionally, having recently helped my grandmother's dog through the experience of having a litter, I have firsthand experience with puppies from newborn onwards. This intimate experience has deepened my understanding of puppy behavior, training techniques, and the patience required to cater to their needs. Furthermore, my expertise extends to senior care, where I provide gentle and compassionate attention to older pets, ensuring their comfort and wellbeing. With a genuine love for animals and a proven track record of dedication, I offer a level of care that goes beyond the ordinary, ensuring both you and your furry companion feel confident and content in my hands. I have a highly flexible schedule which allows me to adapt to the needs of each pet, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles, I make time throughout the day to engage with them. This availability extends into weekends as well, ensuring consistency and reliability in their care. With a commitment to providing personalized attention and a flexible schedule to accommodate their needs, I strive to create a comfortable and enriching environment for every pet under my care. When looking after your pets in your home, I make sure they feel right at home, cozy, and loved. Depending on what you need, here's how I'll pamper your pets: Daily Visits: If you'd like daily check-ins, count on me to drop by and give your pets all the attention they crave. From feeding and playtime to snuggles and belly rubs, I'll make sure they're happy and content all day long. Overnight Stays: Need someone to keep your pets company overnight? I'll be there, ensuring they have a friend to cuddle up with and someone to watch over them while you're away. Drop-in Visits: Whether it's a quick check-in during the day or a last-minute visit, I'm here to help. From feeding and watering to giving them some extra love, I'll make sure your pets feel cared for and special. Dog Walking: Does your pup need a midday adventure to stretch their legs and get some fresh air? I'll take them out for a stroll, making sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. With lots of sniffing and exploring, it'll be the highlight of their day! Specialized Care: If your pets have unique needs, I'll tailor my care to fit them perfectly. Whether it's giving medication, providing extra TLC to seniors, or playing with energetic puppies, I'll make sure they're well taken care of. House Sitting: Along with pet care, I'll also look after your home. From watering plants to bringing in the mail, you can trust me to keep everything running smoothly while you're away. Throughout my time with your pets, I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can see just how much fun they're having. With me around, your pets will feel like they're on vacation too!

“Sophie did so great with Zoë! Couldn't have asked for more.”

“Kristen definitely has a passion for all furry family members. She will provide all the attention they need to make their day better when their owners are away. Rest assured, your dogs/cats will enjoy having her around, therefore owners can enjoy their time away.”

“There is no more a perfect person for this job! Abby’s been caring for her own pets her entire life. She is a compassionate and reliable person who will go above and beyond to give any pet the care they deserve.”

“Olivia communicated very well during the week for watched my dachshund! She was very caring and got to know and learn all about my dog whom I should add is a special needs dog. She was prominent about caring for her the best she was able by learning how to relieve her bladder and when there was accidents she even washed and dried blankets when that wasn't asked. Definitely went above and beyond to care for my dog and I would 100% re book with her to watch her again!”

“Frank was fantastic to work with. Attentive to my dogs needs, got him ample time outside & was extremely caring to my pups needs himself. Frank was flexible with timing, communicative & kept me in the loop the entire time. Highly recommend & will be rebooking!”

“Rachel was a fabulous dog and house sitter! We came home to a very happy pup and the house was the same as we left it. I highly recommend Rachel. Communication was easy, reliable, and friendly. Rachel is very responsible and followed all of my many instructions! Thanks Rachel!!”

“Kyra has grown up with dogs her entire life. We always had at least two dogs in our household, and we currently have four dogs at home. We have two little dogs and 2 large dogs so Kyra has experience taking care of many different kinds of dogs. When Kyra went to college she volunteered at a dog shelter where she fell in love with a homeless dog named Brook. Kyra fell in love with Brook and Brook fell in love with her. Kyra adopted Brook and worked with her through some of her fears from her previous difficult home life. Brook is now a beautiful, happy and healthy 2 year old dog that has a second lease on life. Kyra is an animal lover and a dog lover and is very responsible with her dogs. I would not hesitate in trusting Kyra with anyone’s pet. She knows that they are important members of the family.”

“Jessie was great! She came over on short notice for a meet and greet (I believe it was the same day as the request). We have one sweet gentle giant, and one dog that's suspicious of everyone. Jessie was resourceful and even helped with training our troublemaker. I'm a nervous pet parent, so Jessie took lots of pictures and made me feel at ease while away from home. Very thankful for her help last minute!”

“Annika was amazing! She consistently kept us updated and sent a lot of great pictures. Our neighbors got to meet her as well and they had wonderful compliments on her care of our fur baby! We were very pleased!!”

“Raeanne did a great job. At first, I was hesitant about using someone I didn't know, but I am glad we had Rae stay with our dogs. They were happy and calm when we returned home. We weren't sure how our 4 dogs would react because they had never stayed home with anybody else. The only other person who cared for them was a close friend and they stayed at her house. But, we could tell they were well cared for while we were gone. The house was in good shape as well. We will definitely ask Rae again.”

“Destiny did a great job. She updated me twice a day including photos and the house was in great shape when we returned. I will definitely re-book with her.”

“Madison did a fantastic job! First off it was a last minute booking as we had to fly out for a surprise event, so she quickly set up a meet & greet the next day with us. Then with the hurricane our flights were changed & rescheduled, & she stepped up to the plate & stayed with our dog, Remi an extra day. Always quick to respond & sent us daily photos of our girl. Can’t thank Madison enough!!”
