House Sitting Raines Corner

About: 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐌𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐲 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 Hi, I'm Kiley! I am a former communications officer with the Fredericksburg Police Department who turned a lifelong passion into opening my own home bakery, The Giving Treat. My entire pet care focus is dedicated to providing premium, attentive care exactly where your pets are most comfortable: right in their own home. Whether it's an energetic neighborhood walk, a midday drop-in, or overnight house sitting, I bring a high level of professionalism, reliability, and detail-oriented care to your pet's familiar routine. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐞? I believe pet care should be a stress-free, premium experience for both you and your furry family members. When you book with me, you aren’t just getting someone to check a box, you’re getting a dedicated caretaker who treats your home and pets with the utmost respect. 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 *𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞*: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑼𝒑𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔: You will receive frequent, bright, high-quality photo updates during our time together so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. 𝑨 𝑭𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒈𝒆 𝑲𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒔𝒂𝒌𝒆: At the end of my time with your pet, I print out one of our best photos, turn it into a custom magnet, and leave it on your fridge as a permanent keepsake. 𝑨 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌-𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑻𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕: Along with a handwritten wrap-up note, I always leave a complimentary fresh-baked treat from my bakery for you to enjoy when you get home! 𝐌𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒆𝒅 𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 & 𝑺𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒐𝒓 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒆: Leaving a senior or medically fragile pet can be incredibly stressful, but your furry family member is in safe, experienced hands with me. I am highly comfortable administering medications, managing strict veterinary schedules, and navigating specialized care. My personal and professional experience includes managing **feline diabetes**, tracking **strict prescription urinary diets**, and caring for sweet cats with **Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH)**. 𝑪𝒂𝒕𝒔 𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆: As a dedicated cat parent to four rescues of my own, I speak "fluent feline." I understand how to read cat body language, handle complex weight-management schedules, and give them the exact space, pacing, or affection they need on their own terms. 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝑫𝒐𝒈 𝑾𝒂𝒍𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈: I have years of experience walking dogs of various sizes and energy levels, keeping them safe, engaged, and thoroughly exercised.

Your keys, codes, and home are entirely safe in my hands. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a Meet & Greet. I operate a small cottage bakery full-time, which gives me excellent flexibility throughout the week! My primary baking days are Thursdays and Fridays. Outside of those specific baking windows, my schedule is completely open and flexible for midday walks, drop-in visits, and plenty of focused attention for your pets on weekends and early-to-mid-week days. Because I run an active home kitchen, I provide care exclusively in your pet's familiar, comfortable home environment. My background in local law enforcement communications means I prioritize home security, strict adherence to instruction, and safety above all else. Your keys, home access codes, and pet safety are handled with the highest level of professional responsibility. I treat your space with complete respect while ensuring your pets remain safe, happy, and relaxed.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Sydney. From the moment we met her, she was incredibly friendly and easy to communicate with—someone we instantly felt we could trust. She was reliable every step of the way, and our two cats absolutely adored her. Sydney went above and beyond by sending us frequent photo updates, which not only showed how happy and relaxed our cats were, but also gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Thanks to her attentive care, we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were in the best hands. Highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and truly caring sitter!”

“I cannot recommend Steven enough. I needed someone to watch my three dogs over the Christmas holidays while I traveled for urgent family needs. I was honestly very worried about leaving them behind during such a chaotic time, but Steven made the entire process incredibly easy. ​From our very first conversation to the moment I got back, his communication was top-notch. He stayed at my home and kept me in the loop with daily updates, which allowed me to focus on my family without stress. He even brought in packages that arrived while I was away. If you need a trustworthy, communicative sitter who will treat your home and pets with respect, hire Steven!”

My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I look forward to welcoming you and your furry family member!

I follow your care instructions closely, including administering any medications as prescribed. Whether it’s maintaining their feeding schedule, providing playtime, or offering extra snuggles, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved — just like they would at home.

About: Your Ideal Rover Sitter: Dependable, Trustworthy, and Animal-Loving! Hello, pet parents! I'm here to offer you peace of mind when life demands your attention away from your beloved fur family. Why choose me? Simply put, I embody dependability and trustworthiness. Rain or shine, I guarantee punctuality and readiness to ensure your pet's needs are met with enthusiasm and professionalism. With 8 years of dedicated experience in animal care, my passion for animals is not just a hobby but a way of life. I've been fortunate enough to work with a wide array of temperaments and breeds, gaining invaluable experience with challenges such as food aggression, dog aggression, high-prey drive, and both dog-averse and cat-adverse behaviors. My extensive volunteer work with local rescues and shelters has equipped me with deep insights into dog etiquette and behavior, ensuring that your pet is in knowledgeable hands. I'm not just a sitter; I'm a fellow pet lover who enjoys the company of animals in all shapes and sizes. I'm excited at the prospect of exploring local parks and forest trails with your fur babies, offering them the adventure and exercise they crave. My services include drop-ins and house-sitting, tailored to keep your pet's routine uninterrupted. Whether it's administering oral medication, catering to senior dogs or those with special needs, or ensuring your pet gets their daily dose of exercise, I'm equipped to provide a safe, secure, and loving environment. I pay meticulous attention to safety, from double leashing high-anxiety or flight-risk dogs to ensuring all exits are securely closed before and after outdoor activities. Living in a non-smoking household with a fenced yard, I can accommodate dogs of all sizes, offering them the freedom and security they deserve. My home is a haven for pets, where they're allowed on furniture and given frequent potty breaks, ensuring their comfort and happiness. Choose me as your Rover sitter, and let's embark on this journey together. Your pet will not only receive the care they need but will also experience enriching adventures that brighten their day. Let's make every moment count for your furry friend! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my routine, thanks to my flexible full-time job. During the weekdays, I can easily adjust my schedule to ensure pets in my care enjoy quick, refreshing breaks, maintaining their comfort and happiness. Come the weekend, my availability expands significantly. I'm fully dedicated on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, allowing for extended adventures, whether it's a leisurely park stroll or an exhilarating hike. This balance ensures that every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve, fitting perfectly within my daily and weekly schedule. In both my home and a client's, I prioritize creating a safe and trustworthy environment, leveraging my extensive experience in dog rescue and rehabilitation. For dogs with high anxiety or those considered flight risks, I employ double leashing to ensure their safety at all times. My meticulous approach extends to making sure all gates and doors are securely closed before any pet is released from their crate, and I always ensure a leash is securely fastened before we venture outside. This careful, experienced-based approach ensures that every pet under my care enjoys a secure, comfortable, and happy stay, whether they're with me or I'm with them.
