House Sitting Saint Elmo

“We had Caitlin watch our dogs in daycare and housesitting. Caitlin communicates well and is great with our dogs. She takes lots of photos so you know what the dogs are up to!”

“Deanna was wonderful with Hero & all of his care needs while we were away. She took great care of Hero & our home. It was a big comfort to know that our fur baby was so comfortable. Deanna is such a reliable, attentive and very loving petsitter whom I highly recommend.”

“Dalton is always professional and reliable. He sends photos and updates several times a day, which gives us so much peace of mind. We never have to worry while we’re away as we know the animals are being well cared for.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals as long as I can remember and I enjoy it immensely. I use to raise and show Boxers and Dobermans. After that I started fostering for a number of different rescues so I have a lot of experience with different breeds and situations. I also helped with training so the dogs were more adoptable. I have had different sizes of dogs from a Lhasa Apso to Great Danes. I have also had horses, goats, cows, pigs ( inside and outside)and chickens. Lastly I have a Veterinarian Technician certification. I am currently working only a few hours and days so I have plenty of time to spend with your dogs. I’m available weekends and during the week. I can adapt my schedule for you and your pet’s needs and provide the love, attention and care that your pets deserve when you are away.

“Susan was great. She arrived a few minutes early and was happy to help my pets feel comfortable with her and the process. I very much appreciate her pup sitting.”

Brett & Sandra S.

“Ruben was amazing with our senior weenies! He also left our house just as clean as we left it. He talks about taking care of active dogs which is amazing, but for anyone looking for someone to just cuddle their seniors and be there for them, he’s perfect for that too just so ya know (: lots of pic updates and loving on our pups. We are so thankful!”

About: Pet sitting is a long-standing family tradition for us. When my daughters were growing up, their demanding schedules as competitive dancers didn't allow time for them to hold traditional jobs. To help fund their training, the three of us spent years house and pet sitting together during summers and holidays. I taught them the deep responsibility, respect, and attentiveness required to care for someone else's home and animals. In fact, those lessons stuck so well that my daughter, now a professional dancer, still pet sits between her contracts! Growing up, my life was beautifully full of dogs, cats, birds, and horses (along with an open-door policy for any stray or injured animal that needed help, including rabbits, squirrels and armadillos), which gave me a lifetime of hands-on experience and a deep intuition for animal behavior. Over the decades, I have comfortably managed everything from standard routines to specialized care, including administering oral medications, managing strict supplement schedules, and caring for pets recovering from injury or dealing with age-related limitations. I understand that every pet has unique emotional and physical needs, and I pride myself on providing a calm, steady presence that makes them feel safe and completely secure in their own home. Specialized Experience & Capabilities With a lifetime spent surrounded by dogs, cats, birds, and horses, I comfortably provide specialized, high-tier care that goes far beyond standard pet sitting: Puppy & Kitten Socialization: Building foundational bonds, routine structure, and basic command reinforcement. Senior, Hospice, & End-of-Life Care: Providing a gentle, dignified, and highly intuitive environment for aging companions. Medical & Supplement Management: Expert administration of oral medications, strict supplement schedules, and precise medical timelines. Injury & Surgery Recovery: Meticulous oversight for pets navigating strict physical limitations or recovering from trauma. Anxious & Trust-Building Needs: Creating a secure sanctuary for fosters, recent adoptees, or pets with separation anxiety. Personally & Professionally - Please note: While I am new to this platform (referred by my daughter, a long-time Rover), I bring an 11-year history as a five-star Airbnb guest with a track record of excellent reviews, a five-star rated DoorDasher, and I am also a corporate professional with an established, vetted background on LinkedIn with over 2,000 connections! My status as a WFH (Work from Home) professional allows me to provide your pets with round-the-clock supervision and deskside companionship. My baseline rate accounts for standard flexibility, allowing me to step out for up to 6 hours as needed. For pets needing true Constant Care—where medical, dietary, or anxiety needs require me to remain on the property continuously—there is a $25/day premium add-on. About Me: Committed to Elite, Constant Care ​Hello! I am a remote-working professional (who LOVES to Travel) embarking on an intentional, vibrant new chapter of life as an empty nester. For the last 25 years, my proudest title was "Mom," raising two incredible daughters as a single mother. Now that they are navigating their own successful paths, I am dedicated to bringing that same fierce devotion, love, and round-the-clock enrichment to your beloved fur-babies. (NOTE: One daughter lives on a cruise ship as a performer, my oldest daughter lives in NYC, and other family members spread about, leaving me interested in traveling ALL OVER - So please feel free to request me!) ​I understand the profound worry that can come with leaving your pets behind. My mission is to alleviate all anxiety by offering true constant care in the comfort of your home. I bring an intuitive, deeply empathetic approach to caregiving, connecting with your companions on a heart-to-heart level to establish trust, routine, and a calm, steady presence while you are away. ​My Heart & Dedication: Stories of True Commitment ​My intuition for animal behavior isn't just a hobby; it is a lifelong calling. I don't easily fluster, and I have a deep-seated "open-door policy" for any creature in need. To understand the level of dedication I bring to your home, you just have to look at a few chapters of my life: ​Beating the Odds with Bali: Shortly after COVID, I lost my beloved Pomeranian, Bali (whose beautiful life I chronicled on Instagram - Her picture in my profile). When Bali was born, she was so critically ill that vets said she wouldn't make it. I refused to give up. For two solid months, I held her tiny, lethargic puppy body constantly, bottle-feeding her around the clock until she finally perked up and beat the odds. She grew up believing it was beneath her to bark or even use the bathroom in a public space—she was part cat, part human, and the absolute center of my world. That is the level of fierce, round-the-clock devotion I bring to animals under my care. ​A Gentle Guardian for Seniors (Intuition When It Matters Most): I deeply respect the vulnerability of senior pets. During one of my sits for a sweet senior Golden Retriever, I noticed some unusual lumps that her owners hadn't yet seen. I advocated for her and urged them to take her to the vet, where she was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer. A short time later, while her parents had to travel for an essential work trip, I watched her again. Within a couple of days, I could sense a deep shift in her energy—I knew the signs, and I knew she was declining. Though I make it a strict rule to never unnecessarily disrupt a client's trip, I followed my intuition and called them, gently but firmly explaining that they needed to come home ASAP. They arrived the next day, and she peacefully passed away the very next morning. Her parents were profoundly grateful; they couldn't imagine the heartbreak of not being there for her final moments. I bring that same protective vigilance to your aging companions. ​Rescuing Boomer: My home has always been a sanctuary for those who need it. I once rescued a scrawny, struggling young cat named Boomer in a parking lot. She was so incredibly grateful for the food and safety I offered that she kept coming right back to my front door (hence her name, "Boomer" for boomerang). Eventually, I made her an official indoor cat, and she spent the rest of her days as the happiest, most pampered girl. ​The Miracle on the Roadside: My respect for life extends to all of nature's creatures. I once pulled over for an armadillo on the side of the road that had unfortunately been hit by a car. Though she had passed, I noticed her stomach moving. Her pouch was full of live babies. We rescued them, brought them home, and successfully bottle-fed them. ​Every Life Matters: On another occasion, I spotted a tiny squirrel lying motionless on the sidewalk after falling from a tree. I carefully wrapped her in a towel, secured her in a large, comfortable box to give her room, and spent hours calling resources until I connected with a local squirrel sanctuary that took her in.

About: I have had dogs, sometimes multiple ones, all my life. I am an animal lover, and advocate, of all kinds of animals. I just lost my Maltese of 13 years old which traveled the world with me literally. I was only away from him for two nights his whole life, and that was bc he spent the night at the vets one night, and I spent the night at the hospital one night. He went everywhere with me. From restaurants to Walmart. If I went he went. I have no children, so he was my child. I will treat your baby with the same love, and care. I have a newly build house with an acre that is fenced in. So, if your dog is large and likes to run outside, it can. I also have a screened in back porch. You baby will be safe and loved in my home. I am retired and spend most of my time at home. So your dog will be supervised, as per hour request. I am flexible and will listen to the owners request, as much as possible. I have a fenced in acre of land. I also have a screen in back porch. If you have small dogs, they can run freely, and I would stay outside to watch them. If you have large dogs they can stay out all they want. Dogs love me! They know if you are of good character, or not.

About: I’ve always been around animals and grew up caring for multiple dogs. I currently have cats of my own and have experience caring for a variety of exotic animals as well. I have previously worked in animal husbandry, which has given me hands on experience with animal care, feeding, cleaning, monitoring and understanding different animals’ individual needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. I am currently a Researcher at the University of South Alabama, but I have a a flexible schedule and plenty of free time on the weekends. I am happy to adhere to any requirements you have regarding your pets. I can easily crate, walk, and play with dogs and well as care for cats and exotic animals.

About: I’m open to caring for your animal, the way you do at your home. I have experience with caring for older dogs with complex medical conditions, food aggression, medication administration, and slow feeders. I have experience walking dogs requiring different training tools. I have experience in puppy training and potty training as my family and myself have fostered puppies from 7weeks to a year old. I'm a Senior in college and spend dedicated time focusing on academics… so what better way to spend the rest of my time playing and caring for animals! I work with my internship from 8-5, so my nights are free and I’d love to be cuddled up with your fur babies. I am attentive to your animal's specific needs. I have knowledge with making sure property is secure, choking hazards, medication administration, and some training tools. I am open to your requests.

“Sara was amazing! She kept us updated while we were gone, multiple updates each day with pictures! We will certainly be booking her again in the future.”

About: I have been in-house pet sitting for 8 years now. What started as a college side gig has now turned into my side job business. After years of getting referrals by word of mouth, I recently, in 2026, decided to go public with my business! So that brings me to Rover! 🐾 I believe pet care is about more than just a task of feeding, potty breaks, and walks. I have always had a deep love for animals and making sure they feel LOVED. When you choose me as your sitter, your pets become my bonus-furbabies, and I love them as if they were my own! I learn your pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they receive love and care that is tailored to them. A lot of my clients are repeat clients, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality. As the owner of Paws & Relax Pet Staycation, I value building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel cared for and comfortable in their home, and for you to return home knowing that they were treated like family. I currently work full-time near Grelot Rd. and University Blvd. When you hire me as your in-home pet sitter, my goal is to spend as much time as possible at your home with your pets, seamlessly blending their care with my workday schedule. I also provide overnight stays to ensure your pets have companionship throughout the night, keeping their usual routine completely intact and stress-free! If your home is within 15 to 20 min from my workplace, a midday visit is available for a potty break for your pets. I only provide pet sitting inside the client's home, as I believe pets do best in their own familiar surroundings. I always schedule a Meet & Greet at least two weeks before your trip so I can meet your pets with you there—that way, I’m a friend walking through the door on day one, not a stranger. While I'm visiting, we’ll fill out a personalized care sheet together. We'll map out everything from feeding schedules and medications to their favorite games, daily habits, and emergency info, ensuring they get the exact care they're used to.

“Amanda was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I will forever use her to watch my babies! She was wonderful and my puppies absolutely adored her! She sent me so many wonderful pictures and took such great care of them and not once did I have to worry about their well being! Thank you so so much and I can’t wait to praise your sitting to other families who are in need of someone caring to watch their babies!”

“Raylin did an outstanding job caring for our pups while I was out of town. Jaxon & Maggie seemed happy & content when I returned home after 5 days. I would highly recommend Raylin!”
