About: I have been house/dog sitting sine the mid 1980's ( I know, a whole other century)! I have no problem staying at your place and taking care of your doggies, collecting the mail, watering your plants, or whatever keeps strangers at bay. I do have allergies to cats which is a bummer as I am a new cat-grandma but can do feedings or litter changing ( I wear a mask)- I just can't stay over. I have always had dogs in my adult life, and would love to be the "Mrs. Grandma" to your little fur baby! I work from 8am to 4pm Monday-Friday beginning Aug 8.. My evenings and weekends are free of work obligations. I do love to stay busy and explore fun things to do in and around the city or I can snuggle at home with my Winnie and a good book. I have had double knee replacements so walking dogs can be a tad difficult if it is a long journey. My dog (Winnie) has graduated to not requiring her cage during the day and a fenced in yard which she loves chasing the frisbee and tennis balls. We live near a park and Winnie loves to explore the trails. We also have a rabbit (Chip) who was originally a gift for my son and quickly became mine. Chip has an area where he resides inside but loves to be hopping around the living room.
“Madelyn was wonderful with my dog and 2 cats. The house was all in great condition when I arrived back home. She sent pic updates during her stay and was easy to follow up with. I will be rebooking her again!”
“Thank you Emily & Marianne for taking such good care of my big baby Creed. I was able to get away & really enjoy myself for the 1st time in a long time. You went above & beyond to send me updates & pics of him so I wasn’t having to worry about him , or if he was getting his meds on time, or him stressing because I was gone. For that I so appreciate you & Thank you!”
“Always super helpful and nice when I book with her. This was a last minute booking and I’m so thankful she was available. My dog has crazy anxiety and compared to the first time and this one she took barely any time to get used to Kaelin.”
“Madison was great! She took care of our dog, rabbit, and fish tanks for a week in our home and everything was in perfect shape when we came back. We got daily updates and photos of the animals and they all looked like they were having a great time. We will definitely have Madison back!”
“Kathy has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have two dogs, a senior Vizsla and young Boston Terrier. I hired Kathy to pet sit for three days, several hours each day. Kathy went above and beyond to make my pets feel comfortable! She engaged with them, sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how they were doing. She also had great communication prior to the booking. I will definitely hire Kathy again.”
“Bevan was prompt in communicating, he sent photos daily, and did a nice job taking care of our puppy, Bailey, who demands a lot of attention!”
About: My passion for any and all animals has always been a huge cornerstone of my life. I’ve learned when it comes to taking care of my own pets but also my neighbors, friends and families pets over the years, during the day and overnight, what’s been the most important aspect of this work, is having integrity and loving the pets as I would my own. I’m currently working mornings and early afternoons at a groomers. I’m typically available anytime after 4pm weekdays and available all day during Saturday and Sunday. I have a dog and cats of my own so your babies will be in good company! There is a lovely walking trail beside my residence I take my dog for walks on everyday if taking care at my residence. If taking care at your residence I will utilize all normal routines the babies are used to everyday.
About: I grew up with working line rottweilers on cattle farms. Later on went into the Army where I worked along side of some amazing dogs. Now I obedience train, walk, and house sit for people who love their fur children and want the best for them. I plan on getting certified in several forms of dog training, and will update this page as needed. I work with dogs full time and my schedule varies. Please feel free to reach out to me for specific time requests and scheduling thank you. At this time dog care will be limited to your home. I can easily walk your dog around your neighborhood or take them to a variety of parks. If socialization is needed for your dog I can also assist in this training.

About: I am very good with reactive dogs, having had one myself. I have read up on animal first aid and training. Also having trained 3 dogs.

About: I’ve had animals in my life from the beginning. Right now I have 2 dogs, a cat, 2 Guinea pigs, and a fish :) I love caring for them and want to get back into walking, so this is perfect! I stay overnight to dog sit, so I have tons of experience! I’m a college student working part-time, so i would like to spend as much time as possible with your pets! As long as you let me know what’s up, I’d be happy to be of service :) I have a fenced in yard on a not-busy street, so the dogs can play (and even bark) freely as they please. I just want them to have fun!
“Brianna stepped in as an emergency sitter for our dogs while we were on vacation. She didn’t hesitate to come to their rescue last minute. Our dogs (or us) never had the opportunity to meet her beforehand and we came home to happy dogs! I can’t express my gratitude enough and the fact she was able to give me the peace of mind that I needed.”

About: We are a fun, energetic family that adore animals, especially dogs!!! Our idea of fun is being out in nature, going jogging, and hiking at the awesome parks nearby! We are blessed to live in a quiet and friendly neighborhood....where the boys and I can easily walk our Molly Jo in a safe environment! Not to mention, we have a wonderful fenced-in yard, where our pup and visiting pups can run, jump, play, and burn off energy! My three boys (11, 9, & 7 ) really enjoy when other dogs come to visit! They will "love on" your furbabie any chance they get-- as if it were their own!!! We are a fun, active family and there is never a dull moment, to say the least! We have one dog (a 6 year old Beagle) and two cats (one inside, one outside)-- so we are looking for friendly visitors that adapt well to kids and animals, if possible! We look forward to hearing from you!
