House Sitting in Ruddock

“Olivia was amazing with taking care of Bug. She was responsive, punctual, and kept me updated throughout. I really appreciated how patient, attentive, and caring she was. I felt comfortable knowing Bug was in good hands. I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”

About: At tia ale's house , your fur baby is not an animal or pet. They are part of our family... not only will they be loved and cherished (that is a given) but also we will try to enrich their curiosity and animal nature!! (depending on their breed & preferences) fetch, walks, bubbles, and sniffing activities will be part of our day! as well as snacks and fresh ice cold water. Your fur baby will have a vacation away from home at Tia ale's house. I have plenty of time for their care, entertainment since I’m home 24/7. We would get up early in the morning and exercise then mind stimulation during the afternoon. Bed time would be from 7-9 pm depending on how tired your fur baby is. I have a fenced yard, and cameras around the house. We also have a nice backyard that gets sprayed every 3 months for fleas and bugs.

About: I love animals and have cared for friends’ pets whenever they’ve needed a trusted dog sitter. I’ve also fostered dogs for Take Paws Rescue, from young puppies to senior dogs, which has given me experience with pets of all ages and personalities. I treat every animal with patience, love, and attention, the same way I would want someone to care for my own pets. I recently stepped away from my full time job and currently have a very flexible schedule with open availability. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and consistency throughout the day. I currently have three rescue dogs of my own, a Doberman puppy, a two year old Doberman, and a small mixed breed. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Because of my own pets, I prefer caring for animals in their own home where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I always treat every pet with patience, love, and care as if they were my own.

About: I focus on quality over quantity. I care for a limited number of dogs so each one gets individualized attention. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic oral medications, and caring for senior dogs who may need extra patience and routine. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and a calm atmosphere where dogs can relax and feel at home. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work a full-time office schedule, with remote work on Mondays and Tuesdays, which allows me to provide more supervision and interaction on those days. On in-office days, I maintain a consistent routine with morning, evening, and bedtime care, ensuring pets are never left without attention. I’m fully available on weekends, which allows for extra quality time, longer walks, and focused care. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet’s needs are met reliably and safely. I provide a calm and safe environment with a small fenced patio for supervised outdoor time. My condominium complex has multiple green areas that are ideal for regular walks, and there is a nearby park that allows for longer, enriching walks when appropriate. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. Pets are always supervised during outdoor time.

“Laura was great. She came to our rescue on short notice. Stayed at our house over the weekend so we could take our kids and grandchildren away. She was great with our dogs. Sent pictures and even washed the sheets and towels swept the floor and threw out some expired milk. Thank you Laura we would love to have you in our home when we go to Australia later this year. Angela and Emanuel, Sydney and Samson”

“Gabrielle did a great job watching my 130lb 2 y/o ridgeback. She communicated well and carefully integrated him into the group of 4 well behaved dogs that she owns. I recommend using her as a Rover sitter.”

About: Pet sitting is more than just showing up. It's about making sure your animal feels safe, loved, and at ease even when you're not there. Growing up, animals were always a huge part of my life, from cats and dogs to guinea pigs and turtles. That early experience gave me a huge love for pets of all kinds. Your fur baby will be in caring, attentive hands. You can travel and go about your day knowing your pet is genuinely looked after, not just watched. I recently moved back home to Louisiana from living in Denver, Colorado for the past 5 years. With my schedule being so open and flexible, pet care fits naturally into my day. I am able to give your pet consistent attention, timely walks, and plenty of quality time without it ever feeling rushed. Safety and trust are two things that I will never compromise on. When I'm in a client's home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I would give my own. I want both pets and their owners to feel completely at ease, knowing their home and their animal are in good hands. I take thorough notes on routines, preferences, and any special needs so nothing gets overlooked. I always make sure the environment stays safe, comfortable, and familiar for your pet.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I only watch one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re a high energy dog, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.

“Ayanna was an amazing dog and house sitter. My pitty enjoyed spending time with her and going for walks. Ayanna sent me plenty of pics and videos showing me how happy he was. I highly recommend Ayanna, she has a great disposition and a positive vibe about her. My pitty, Zeke loves her and I will definitely use her services in the future.”

About: I’ve cared for friends’ cats and dogs since I graduated high school, but I started gathering more clients in college and during my masters in order to earn supplemental income I’m available every afternoon after 330pm, and possibly sooner with early notice. On weekends I am available all day, and can travel anywhere in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens I don’t have either of my cats with my here in New York. Back at my home in New Orleans, I have an entirely fenced backyard so I can let my cats play as long as they want every day. Sometimes up to 3 hours a day. They are harness trained as well, so we go on walks 3-4 times a week. I enjoy taking both cats and dogs on walks

About: I've grown up with dogs in the house my whole life. Currently we have 3 dogs and a cat. I absolutely love playing with them, taking care of them, and all of their individual personalities!❤️ I work part time so I'll have plenty of time to have fun and play with your fur babies! My availability varies, so just shoot me a text!! Time with your pets would consist of lots of hugs and love, tons of playing, walks, bathroom breaks of course, and delicious meals! All from the comfort of their own home!

“The dogs love Grady and we love him. Always takes care of the house and the pups the way we would take care of them. We feel lucky to have him be our pet sitter!”

“Robin did a great job and helped us to have a wonderful relaxed vacation! She is so sweet and you can see how she genuinely loves animals. She sent us cute photos of our cats so we could see their faces and knew at all times that they were doing well. She left the house clean and even washed and dried the sheets from the bed. We will absolutely book with her again and recommend you do as well!”

About: I’ve been walking and caring for animals since I was a young child, so I bring a lot of hands-on experience and confidence in handling pets of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and how to keep them safe, happy, and well-exercised. I’m currently working from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to pet care. I’ve developed strong time management and organizational skills that translate well into pet walking and training. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be available during key times of the day for walks, check-ins, and consistent training sessions. Since I’m already accustomed to planning my day around routines, I’m able to reliably incorporate pet care into my schedule while maintaining a high level of attention and consistency. This flexibility also means I can accommodate client needs more easily and provide dependable, attentive care for their pets. I provide a safe and trustworthy environment by prioritizing consistency, attentiveness, and clear communication. Because I work from home, pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I’m able to closely monitor their behavior, comfort, and safety at all times. My experience working with animals since childhood has taught me how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort early and respond appropriately. I also maintain a clean, organized space and follow any specific instructions from pet owners regarding routines, feeding, and training. Building trust is very important to me, so I make sure to communicate regularly with updates and ensure each pet is cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine attention.

About: I’ve spent over 15 years pet sitting regularly and in recent years, I’ve been a traveling pet/house sitter. I have thirty plus 5 star reviews from the Trusted Housesitters platform, as well as references which I’m happy to share upon request. I worked as a vet tech assistant and kennel technician at a Rio Del Mar Pet Hospital in Aptos, CA for 2 years. I was a stable care taker, at Little Paddocks Farm in Yorktown, VA for 7 years. I helped train dogs and horses, we also had pigs and cats that I cared for. I absolutely love plants too, so watering and maintenance is something I enjoy. I will happily take care of gardens and bird feeding as needed. My schedule is flexible, I base my schedule around pet and house sitting. I’m available for single day visits, as well as weekly and monthly agreements. I care deeply for animals, and truly enjoy comforting pets while the owners are away. I know it can be very stressful for pets and their owners when they’re apart. I look forward to helping your animal companions stay calm and stress free while you’re away!
