I’m dedicated, attentive, and always make sure each animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I am free every day, i can stop when need to play with your pet. Cuddled if they need and take care of them book me I can provide your pet with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. My top priority is making sure they feel secure and happy at all times. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and can also help with light tidying or pick-up around the house if needed.

“Shannon was personable, responsive and attentive to detail. Shannon sent pictures so we knew how our little guy was doing and left our home clean and tidy. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Melissa was great! She watched our new puppy Bacall and our other dog Bogey. She was always communicating and sending pics and videos of our doggies. We loved her so much that she is going to be checking on our doggies while we are at work.”

“My dog is a needy shepherd mix, and is only two years old. Every picture that Jessica sent to me was of a happy, satisfied pup- and that is no easy feat. If she can handle my dog, she can easily wrangle yours. Five stars!”

About: I’ve taken care of mostly cattle dogs since I was 10. My neighbors, family friends, family, and coworkers always ask me to pet sit for them. I am so excited to have the time to care for and love your furry friends! I work from Tuesday-Friday and I will be available after 7pm Friday. Saturday-Monday I am available at all times. I am not able to keep your furry friend in my current living space, but always am more than happy to take care of them in their home environment.

“She was the best for my animals. My dog smiled non stop and my animals were safe!!! I recommend her to everyone I have a chance to.”

About: Hi! I provide long-term, in-home house and pet sitting across the U.S. for homeowners who want their space handled consistently—not checked on, but actually lived in and maintained. I specialize in 1+ week stays and travel intentionally for sits, so I’m not juggling multiple local clients or rushing in and out. When I’m booked, your home is my focus. I work with residential homes and household pets only (no farms or large animals). I've done my time - hay is not my friend. Services: Long-term, in-home house sitting (2+ weeks minimum, negotiable if you're near the prior site) Overnight pet care (dogs, cats, household pets) Daily routines: feeding, medications, walks, litter Home care: mail, plants, trash, light cleaning, upkeep Full-time presence to maintain a lived-in, secure home This is not drop-in care—this is full coverage while you’re away. Experiance: I grew up on a hobby farm, so responsibility and animal care were part of everyday life early on. Now, I focus specifically on home environments and household pets, not farm or livestock care. My background in running businesses and managing operations means I’m organized, detail-aware, and dependable—especially in environments that require trust and consistency. I adapt quickly to new homes and follow established routines closely. Why should I hire you? Because I’m built for this type of arrangement. I travel specifically for longer sits—your home isn rarely one of several stops I don’t need supervision or micromanaging I communicate clearly and consistently - there might even be some pet pictures in your phone :) I handle issues calmly and practically You’re not coordinating with a sitter—you’re handing off your home to someone who can run it. Any special qualifications or training? Strong independent decision-making Comfortable managing homes solo for extended periods High attention to detail and respect for personal spaces Calm, steady, and reliable I’m also comfortable learning specific pet routines, medications, or household preferences. What’s your availability? North America availability Minimum stay: 2 weeks Open to extended and repeat sits Travel-ready and flexible with advance notice Once booked, I commit fully to that stay. Personality / Fit I’m calm, observant, and self-sufficient. Not high-drama, not flaky. Best fit: Homeowners traveling for extended periods People who want consistency without micromanaging I also work with executives who are in and out and need a temporary house guest (under 6 months) Not a fit: Less than 10 days Farms, livestock, or horse care (this can possibly be vaived with a conversation - I am very familar with animals) Your home stays in order, and your pets get real attention—not just care. I provide steady, full-time presence in your home. As a digital nomad, I work remotely, which means your pets aren’t left alone for long stretches and their routines stay consistent. I’m not rotating between clients or dropping in—I’m there, living in the space and keeping things running normally. I grew up around a wide mix of animals, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Some pets want constant attention, some want space, and some need structure—I meet them where they are and follow your routines closely, including feeding, medications, and daily habits. I also enjoy being outdoors, so walking dogs and getting animals outside is a natural part of the day, as long as that aligns with what they’re used to. It’s not forced—it’s just part of how I operate. You can expect a calm, low-drama environment. I tend to be observant and consistent, which animals respond well to. I’ll keep communication clear and reasonable—updates and photos as agreed—without overwhelming you while you’re away. Your home will be respected and maintained. I keep things clean, organized, and handled like they matter. And beyond all of that, I genuinely enjoy animals. This is how I get my “pet fix” while traveling, so I’m not just checking boxes—I actually like spending time with your pets. Your pets are the priority while you’re away. I keep a close, consistent eye on them and pay attention to small changes in behavior, appetite, or energy so issues are caught early, not after they’ve escalated. I maintain a calm, predictable environment and follow your routines closely to reduce stress and keep things stable. I’m comfortable handling medications and will administer them exactly as instructed, whether that’s daily dosing, timed schedules, or more specific routines. If something feels off, I act quickly and communicate clearly—using your preferred vet, emergency contacts, and instructions. You can expect a steady, attentive presence focused on keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time you’re gone.

“Amazing Syd took care of my four dogs and my house was clean when we came back home. Definitely recommend her to watch you’re house and pups.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, building a strong bond with every furry friend I meet. From dogs and cats to small animals, I treat each pet like they’re my own, offering a mix of love, attention, and personalized care. I’ve had the privilege of looking after my neighbors’ pets, who always recommend me for my sweet and gentle approach. Whether it’s a playful pup needing extra attention or a shy cat who loves quiet company, I know how to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. With my experience and kind nature, you can trust that your pet will be well cared for while you’re away! I currently work as a babysitter a few days a week, not every day. I will start college in August so as of now I have plenty of time of my own. I decided to use my free time to start taking care of pets. This will help me make money to pay for future college expenses. I also want to gain even more experience than the one I have. I always like learning more about dogs and animals, plus I really enjoy it. I have a dog at home, he is mostly an indoor dog. I have a fenced yard, this makes it easier when he goes outside since I know he will be safe. When it comes to a clients home, I make sure that the pet is always safe whether it is inside or outdoors. Safety is my top priority when it comes to taking care of the pet. Depending on the service offered, I always make sure the pet feels safe with me and in the place it is in. I will also always make sure their food and water is clean and safe to eat, which is something that is also very important for the pets internal safety.

About: I have raised animals all my life and I’ve worked at my college farm for a semester, I have worked in the local animal shelter… I’m a college student going towards agriculture trades and my AS in science. I’m available whenever. I’m starting summer classes soon but I’ll make time I give them love, clean up after them, walk them, play with them, take care of them, safe environment, keep up with their training etc

About: I have a lifetime of farm life! I have helped care for many sweet dogs, cats, donkeys, horses, goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys, guinea hens, reptiles, birds and more! I work with integrity and I communicate very well. I'm well rounded in my experiences and qualities provided. I'm confident I can meet anyone's needs as far as great animal care. You'll see many photos i've posted of my sweet white lab-wolf mix, she passed away two years ago. Hank my youngest sons sweet boxer passed away just about five months ago. Losing our family members has been very hard. Taking care of pets has filled my heart with healing love and energy. Pet care is a full time job. I schedule my weeks accordingly. I keep my calendar flexible and I can usually meet anyone's pet needs for the day. I will schedule to meet you and we can walk through the routine your pet needs in your home. I am flexible and can take pets in my car if needed. I'll follow instructions as given and make sure safety is my first choice.

About: I’ve always had dogs and have spent my life caring for them as part of my family. In addition to dogs, I also have experience caring for horses, a macaw, and a turtle, so I’m very comfortable around animals of all sizes and personalities. I’m a big animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I already structure my days around caring for animals, feeding, exercise, enrichment, and check-ins are part of my normal schedule. I’m used to planning my time around animals’ needs, whether that’s walks, playtime, medications, or just companionship, so adding pet sitting feels seamless rather than disruptive. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, along with a safe, clean environment. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
