House Sitting Saint James

“We just moved to St James and I was a little nervous about finding a new cat sitter. Olivia put me at ease right away, and did a terrific job with our kitty. She even brought him a new toy. I receive photos and updates twice a day. On top of that, she was wonderful with watering plants, taking out garbage, bringing in the mail and keeping an eye on our home. I will definitely be rebooking her”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have loved each and every one of them. I currently have a big Siberian Husky who's the sweetest guy, but sometimes a handful. Let's just say I'm use to dogs that may pull on their leash or have a lot of energy! I'll be able to care for your pet and cater to their specific needs. It's very important for me to know that my dog is being cared for thoroughly and treated kindly when I'm away or not available to do so. That's why you can count on me to do the same for yours! I’m a full-time human mom and dog mom. :) I currently work part-time (out of the home :) ) so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets. At home I have a fence for our dog, but he also goes on daily walks. I’m comfortable caring for your pet in whatever environment you need me to.

“Such an amazing sitter!! Came home to very happy pups! Gabby kept in touch daily and grabbed our mail and watered some plants! Dogs loved her!! Would highly recommend!!”

About: I am extremely patient with all animals and love spending time with them. I am passionate about animals and their care. I love every pet like it is my own. I am free to care for pets any day throughout the day. I am a college graduate who recently moved home and have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of pets. For overnight sitting any days works best for me! I am a lover of animals and give them all of my attention and care. I have some practice in training dogs (sit, wait, shake). I will make sure your pet is well fed, happy, and not let them go lonely!

“Jo was fantastic she kept us updated throughout her stay at our house and we came home to a happy dog and happy home. She took great care of out dog "Cashew" and gave him all the attention any dog could need and the fun pictures she sent kept us feeling good during our trip. I highly recommend using Jo and will be using her services again in the future.”

About: Growing up at home I had cats and a dog. I can't imagine a home without Pets. 7 years ago my family adopted our dogs Max and Lola. I have many years experience caring for cats and dogs and would be honored to care and love for yours. I'm currently between jobs and have plenty of time to watch and care for pets. My schedule is very flexible and open weekdays amnd weekends. Based on your preference we can agree to a personalized schedule. Relax at home, walk on the beach, playing at the dog park or in your back yard.

“Stephanie was great with our two dogs! Will definitely book again!”

“Allen was great! I needed a last minute sitter and Allen was the perfect choice. Great communication and put up with my silly dogs with no complaints. Left my house in great condition. I look forward to having him stay with my beasties again. Thank you so much! 💜”

About: Over the years I've had experience with all stages and ages of pets, especially dogs, but also including horses, chickens, fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, cats etc. I've raised and cared for my own pets from puppies to elder dogs, special needs to the most energetic (or anxious). I've taken in some willful and anxious fur babies that have thrived and became amazing loyal, obedient and loving companions. I have also been blessed with 4 amazing grown kiddos that have pets of their own and I get to care for them often and its the best!! Most of my/my families pets have been rescues but we've also had/have several pure bred Animals (Long-haired German Shepherd, Newfoundland, Maltese, Blue Pittie). I like to make sure the fur babies get lots of love and exercise, but its also okay if your pet is a bit more stand-offish. I truly appreciate when pet parents leave information about routine, pets personality and preferences and will follow instructions meticulously. Special needs, medications, puppy care, etc are also welcome (of course!!). Feel free to ask any questions...look forward to chatting and meeting you/your fur babies. I am an empty-nested Mom and Mimi with my kids' families being spread around CO, NC, TN, GA, STX so I travel to see kids/grandkids/family...a lot...and I love it. This gives me the flexibility to do house sitting/pet care around those visits (in some cases, I've done sits near my kids as well and check both boxes, pet care and visits with the fam). I'm looking to pet/house sit almost full-time around family visits. I'm also VERY open to traveling to pet sits outside my home base area, overseas as well. I lost my little Maltese "Smiles" a few years ago and have poured my snuggles into my kid's 6 dogs. With my travel schedule its hasn't felt like the right time to add a new pet to my personal life so getting to love on my families' pets and those that I sit for really helps fill that void. I only care for pets in your/their home. I am primarily looking for overnight sits, but will also be available for walks and drop-in care.

About: I have had dogs most of my life. I have been dog sitting for about 3 years, now. I used to be a housekeeper, so while I'm there I throw in some cleaning for free. Your house will never look worse than when I entered it. I will also water plants as needed, and will text pics of the dog for your peace of mind. I have also given dogs meds as needed, and in one emergency had to youtube how to give a particular shot. The dog ALWAYS comes first. I also have Good references. I am looking forward to staying with your dog I also cater to your pups needs. Some are frightened of thunderstorms, and they get extra cuddles during stormy weather! I am retired, so my time is very flexible. I have no problem house sitting and dog sitting pretty much any time, and holidays are not a problem, as I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I only do dog sitting at your home. This way your home and pets are safe while you are gone. I always leave a house the way I found it, if not cleaner. I can also care for your plants and water a garden as needed.

“We are very pleased with how well Darian took care of our Goldendoodle Maggie. She did a wonderful job spending time with her and taking her for walks. We would highly recommend her to anyone who wants their furry friend well care for!”

About: Have grown up with pups-German Shepherds, Great Dane and Bichon! Not all at once thou! Would love to help you take care of your pup! I have a part time job but it’s fairly flexible! What are your needs? I help friends and family out when they need pet care-now that I am semi-retired-thinking it can help pay some bills! I have an elevator building so walking your pup is no issue! I also don’t mind enjoying my coffee at your house-while I keep on eye on your furry friend!

About: I’ve worked as a vet assistant administering medication, comforting pets, trained in helping pets in high stress situations, and moderate knowledge of veterinary medicine. I truly love every pet like my own. I’m calm, reliable, and experienced with seniors, medications, puppies, and nervous pets. I understand how hard it is to be away, so I’m here to give your pets the same love and attention you would. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m mostly free throughout the day. This flexibility lets me give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care whenever they need it. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I create a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. I follow their specific routines for feeding, exercise, and medication, giving plenty of attention and affection. Whether it’s playing with kittens, helping seniors relax, or managing special needs, I treat every pet like family to ensure they’re happy and stress-free.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small rodents. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd, whom I cared for through his senior years, and a Miniature Schnauzer/Jack Russell mix, whom I raised from a puppy. I also previously had a hedgehog named Harold for 8 years, and currently have a cat named Penelope (Nellie), who I absolutely adore and am so obsessed with. I am comfortable around even the most “difficult” pets and would love to care for your pets like my own! I have the most availability on evenings and weekends, and am typically available for major holidays as well. I know you can’t always predict when you will need pet care so I try to be available with short notice. I know the importance of a safe environment and will ensure that your pet’s space works best for his/her needs as well as your own.

“Kelsey was great. We had one of our air conditioners go out just before we left. Kelsey handled the issue with no complaints. The dogs loved her and she kept us updated our entire trip.”

About: I am an ARMY veteran. I love dogs and they love me. I would rescue them all if I could. They are definitly angels on Earth. I am a very active person. I love being outside and or being around dogs. They deserve the absolute best in life. So I will do my part to make them happy. I make sure they are well taken care of. Depending on what wash individual dog needs. They all have different personality types just like humans.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. I grew up in a homeschooled household with a dog and three cats, so being hands-on with pet care was just part of everyday life. As a kid, I was known around my neighborhood for walking dogs, pet sitting, and helping out wherever I could—even mowing lawns for neighbors—so responsibility and reliability were instilled in me early on. I also spent time working on an alpaca farm, which gave me experience caring for animals with different needs and personalities. In my adult life, I regularly help care for my sister’s three dogs, and since she’s a veterinarian, I’ve learned a lot about animal behavior, health, and proper care through her. I’m also very involved with my two nephews, so patience and attentiveness come naturally to me. One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had was caring for our family dog, Toby, in his later years. As the youngest, it became my responsibility to make sure he was comfortable, safe, and well cared for as he aged. He lived to be 16, and that experience taught me a lot about compassion, consistency, and the importance of attentive care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I already structure my days around being consistent, active, and attentive. I’m used to building my schedule around responsibilities, so walks, feeding times, and check-ins feel like a natural part of my day rather than something extra. On a weekly basis, I regularly help care for my sister’s dogs, so I’m already in the rhythm of walking, feeding, and spending quality time with pets. I also keep a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they need without rushing. Overall, I enjoy having pet care as part of my routine—it keeps me active, present, and doing something I genuinely enjoy. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully—feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences—so your pet feels safe and stress-free in their own environment. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, not just the basics. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I provide a clean, calm, and safe environment where they can relax. I keep a consistent schedule for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks, and I’m always attentive to their behavior and needs. I make sure they feel included and comfortable, whether that means active play or just relaxing nearby. No matter the setting, my priority is making sure each pet feels secure, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

“Judith was absolutely WONDERFUL. It was our first time hiring a house/per sitter, but she completely put us at ease from the start. She sent updates and pictures, was very responsive, took amazing care of our dog, cat and our home. She was a pleasure to work with from the meet and greet to our coming home. We're so pleased and couldn't recommend her more!”
