House Sitting in Quincy Junction

About: I've been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Any kind from a Chihuahua to a Bull Mastiff, young or old, my own or a friend's. I believe they need as much care, love and attention as we all do and I am definitely willing to prove that! I will make sure your furry friend is satisfied while you are gone! I know it's important to have rules and if there are any specifications, I will be sure to follow them and keep your dog happy and safe. When they are under my care, I will treat them as I do my own-that's a promise! My schedule changes due to personal reasons, but for the most part, I'm free to pet sit most days and nights! You can contact me any hour through the night because I completely understand last minute changes/needs. I will follow anything your pet care list requires. I can always send updated pictures, texts or calls if that helps you feel comfortable and stress free.

“Sage was amazing and super communicative. She stayed with our dog overnight and sent a bunch of pictures. She messaged us throughout the entire stay and made sure our care instructions were followed! We’d definitely recommend booking Sage for your pet!”

“Lillian is fantastic! I can’t say enough🥰🙏💕🐶🐶🐶 Taniya is young, very shy, sweet, very strong, and takes time for her to warm up. Well Lillian was rubbing her tummy by the first day, and Lillian managed her on leash to her run on lawn and down to our 1/2 acre fenced enclosure with kennel platform with cover. She fell in love with both Grimes and Taniya and even took them on walks with assistance of her boyfriend! She sent updates in texts and photos! Rascal Taniya got into my multi vitamins gummy’s and one Co- Q10 pill and she even reached out to a Rover Vet as precaution! Wow, what can I say, Lillian made our trip to Bay Area for family gathering and my nephews wedding worry free! We had a wonderful time and felt our baby dogs were in such good hands! I call Lillian a doggie whisperer, she’s very calm and relaxed and I know Taniya and Grimes could feel this🥰🙏 we arrived home to two very happy doggies, house cleaner than when we left, everything was perfect💕 Thankyou Lillian, we look forward to you doggie sitting in the future🐶💜💕. Tina, Danny, Grimes & Taniya🐶☀️”

“Last minute booking for 6 days. Elana is very accommodating when she is available. This was a difficult trip for us to bury a loved one and her compassion and understanding were very much appreciated.”

About: I come from a family of animal lovers and have always been surrounded by either a new puppy, an elder dog, or a dog in their prime just looking to have fun. A lifetime of experience, and 7+ years of professional experience, has introduced me to dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have no problem with shy guys, energetic puppies, or elder dogs who just need a friend. I have the tools and knowledge to care for dogs all across the board, and not only that, but I love each dog with all my heart and treat them with the utmost respect. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I have a very flexible schedule, and do remote work. I can easily work with you and your schedule to come to your home to watch your pet, or pick up for pet for the day etc. I have a large fenced in yard to watch your pet for the day if they come to me. I am great at following any specific instructions and can also walk your dog throughout the day down our dead end road. If you are looking for someone to come to your home, I follow everything closely, and love working with your and your pet so everyone is happy and comfortable!

About: I love all animals but I am especially great with special needs and elderly ones. I have 2 dachshunds, and they are my life. I will treat yours as though they are my own. I am taking time off from the daily grind and therefore have lots of time to spend with your beloved fur babies and mine. We will spend time outside or cuddling, having deep chats figuring out the solutions to the universal problems etc. My dogs are allowed anywhere I am allowed that includes car bed couch and any other spot they feel drawn to. I make my dogs food but totally respect all dog food choices you may make.

“Jacqueline is great! She came and watched our dog last minute when our other sitter left unexpectedly. We were out of the country and she put us at ease. We’ve used her a couple of times now and we can tell that she takes very good care of our pup! She sends pictures and updates and leaves our home in great condition. Thank you Jacqueline!”

About: I've house sat dogs, cats, and birds since I was 10. I love going on long walks, playing with animals, and taking diligent care of them while you are away. I am currently doing remote work, so I am incredibly flexible and able to work my schedule around your pet care needs. I like to be outside a lot, but am happy to take your pet on my adventures, or return to the house frequently in between to give them love. I understand that pet care varies a lot depending on the animal. I want to work with you to understand the best way to make your pets feel safe and loved while you are away. I have lots of experience taking care of pets with very specific needs.
