House Sitting in Riggsville

“Ann-Marie was very sweet and friendly. I felt as though she took great care of my pets. I was sent frequent updates and pictures. She seems to be a very trustworthy person to have come to your home and care for your animals and we would absolutely have her come back to care for our dogs again.”

“Eric did a great job with our two dogs who are on opposite ends of the age, energy, and size spectrum. He kept us well informed and sent lots of pics and videos. Would recommend!”

“Keilyn was so helpful with watching our pup, plus kept us updated with pictures the whole time while she stayed with him! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Kaitlyn is on it! It was a joy to finally have someone kind, caring, and attentive watch our dogs. She took excellent care of our three fur babies. We have a super senior dog who is healthy but gets into things he shouldn't. She alerted us to his midnight illness and was there for our dog. Everything turned out okay with him too. Despite me being out of reach several times, she provided excellent care for all of them and I know they loved it. It was the first time in a long time that we came back home and did not have to "fix" a bunch of things in disarray or broken around the house. The dogs are super happy, the house is happy, and we are thrilled. Thanks Kaitlyn!!!!”

About: Hi there! My name is Jessica Hawkins, (for some reason I can’t change the S in my name) I'm 39 years old and love animals! I know how hard it is to leave your fur baby at home for a long time. So I would love to help ease that stress with walks, feedings, or boardings! I’ve grown up with 2 dogs, a cat, and fish when I was younger. I even had three cats and a dog of my own a few years ago. I have one dog of my own now, a German Shepherd. I also have a 5 year old at home that I do bring with me wherever I go unless he is in school starting September. So I will more then likely ask if your pets gets along with kids. Just a few things I have done: -I've given dogs baths -I've clipped their nails -I go for walks with my dog and son -I've given oral medication before I would love to pet sit for you whether it's just for the day, a week, or a few hours. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I’m almost always readily available. I do live out in the country and am only about 10min from town. So pet care wouldn’t be difficult for me to do. I have a dog of my own. He is a bit hyper but he loves to play fetch. If I’m at a clients home I’d try to do some outdoor activities, weather permitting. I play fetch with my dog and my son loves to join in, so we often do that.

“Andrew was excellent! It was our first time using a dog sitter in our home and I could not have been more at ease. We were away for an entire week and Andrew spent so much time with them doing all of the things they love. He took them to the beach every day and kept us informed with pictures and texts letting us know how much fun they were having. I highly recommend him!”

About: I have had pets and cared for pets my entire life I have spent majority of my adult life in animal welfare such as vet clinics, rescues, boarding and daycare facilities. I have experience caring for animals of all ages and sizes such as cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, birds, and some live stock. I also have experience with medications, behavioral issues, age and other restrictions. I currently in the off season of my job and I have a very flexible schedule at this moment in time. I can also take last minute bookings. Your pet will have any thing he or she will possibly desire with me. I’m an active person and love to go out for walks but also like a good snuggle on the couch.

About: I've had all kinds of pets in my life, from bunnies and fish to kitties and dogs! I have experience giving medications, in pill form and injectables (previously had a pet with diabetes), and I'm comfortable with some grooming, like baths and brushouts. I love getting to know everyone's pets and being able to love them like my own -- they become part of my family, too! I have a full time job but find that my hours are perfect for sitting! I have most weekends off as well, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! Boarding in my home is a little different. Due to my own animals safety, I do require AT LEAST ONE meet and greet with my dogs to ensure they get along. Your pet will also absolutely need to be okay with cats, and they will need to be crate trained in order to be left at my home. All my dogs are crate trained and are crated when we are not home. There is also a list of vaccines I require your pet(s) to have--I will share these if you're looking to book sitting in my home! Sitting in YOUR home is MUCH different and actually preferable for senior dogs or anxious dogs! I don't like to stress dogs out with an environment change, it can be too much for some dogs and I'd hate to put your pet through that! I will follow all house rules and routines for your pet, and I always clean up after myself and your pet, which includes dishes, changing bedding, laundry (occasionally), vacuuming, etc.!

“Kathryn is amazing! She is kind, attentive and responsible. I trust her implicitly with my little fur-bean. I’m so happy to have connected with her. She takes the worry and stress out of traveling — I don’t have to worry about my pup or my house when Kathryn is there to take care of everything.”

“Jaekob was great and Cooper and Kiara had a great time. He stayed with them overnight and was a respectful house guest!! We would book with him again without hesitation.”

Sarah P.

“Yadary looked after our dog for 2 days and gave her walks on 3 more days. She was reliable and friendly and our dog’s tail always wagged when she saw her”

“We were out of town and booked Emma to watch our golden and Springer spaniel for the day while we went in a kayak day trip. The girls seemed relaxed and at ease with Emma. We even got an update text and picture. We would definitely recommend booking with her.”

About: Hi, I'm Meghan! a lifelong animal lover that you can count on. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I've grown up with a variety of animals including: dogs (both big and small), cats (both outgoing and timid), as well as even the smallest of pets (like hamsters, bunnies, snakes, fish, and lizards) and I truly believe our pets are family. While most of my experience comes from caring for my own animals, I'm attentive, patient, and committed to following any and all instructions to keep your pet safe and happy while you're away. This includes any specific routines, medications, or favorite toys. I'll make sure everything runs smoothly just the way they like it. Whether you need someone to drop in, go for a walk, or provide overnight care, I'd love to help. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone new and I promise to treat them like my own. I'm comfortable with all types of personalities and would welcome a meet-and-greet to learn more about your needs! I work part-time over the summer but I still have availability for early mornings, afternoons, evenings drop-ins/walks and overnights on most days depending on location. Your pets comfort and safety come first - especially in their own home. I take great care to follow any and all instructions closely so your pet can stick to their normal routine like feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications or playtime.

About: Dog sitting in my home allows your dog to have daily attention and love. Your dog should be house potty trained. I have a partial fenced in yard which makes potty use very easy for your pet during their stay. I live on a lake so if your dog loves to swim, they will have lots of fun. Please bring your dog’s favorite toys, leash, food, dog bed, and crate if required for night sleeping. I have been around dogs my entire life and absolutely love them. I am looking forward to meeting your loving pet. I work part time at the golf course so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I’m not always available on weekends due to out of town family and friends visiting. I spend most of my time with your dog whether we are inside or outside. My goal is to keep your dog comfortable and happy.

“Rebecca provided a top-notch level of service, housesitting for senior black lab. She provided text updates and fun pix so we could follow how everything was going and see how much Smokey Bear loved being with her. Rebecca managed her time in our home and property very responsibly. We will definitely call her first for our next trip!”

About: Animals love me for my calm, loving demeanor. I am a good pack leader and provide a safe and fun place for your fur baby while your away. I am retired with plenty of time on my hands. It gets lonely at times so I enjoy the company of both dogs and cats. I have a large yard with room to roam, sniff and play away from others and a large kennel. You can trust that I will take just as good of care of your fur babies as I do my own.

“Tanya is WONDERFUL. She was very patient and understanding and took time to get to know my neurotic little pup. She sent pictures and gave daily updates - I definitely recommend her others.”
