House Sitting in Saint Joseph

“Absolutely amazing. Great updates of going on walks, play times and updates during house sitting. Ben connected with our dogs from the start during the meet and greet which was great. Over all, this was a great experience and would definitely book Ben for future house sitting with our fur babies.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends and family, including pet sitting in my home, staying in their homes, walking dogs, cleaning kennels, and bathing. I also have three years of hands-on experience working at a doggie daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. This experience has given me strong skills in handling, supervising group play, maintaining safe environments, and understanding dog behavior. No matter the situation, I’m happy to work with your specific needs to make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I truly love caring for animals and enjoy spending time with them outside of my regular work hours. Whether it’s the smallest pup, the biggest dog, or even cats—I love them all! I have plenty of love, attention, and care to give, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ve had dogs my entire life, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. As a pet owner myself, I know you want the very best for them—and that’s exactly the level of care I strive to provide. Your pet will be treated like part of the family, receiving all the affection, cuddles, and attention they could ever want.

About: While I don’t have official experience, I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and I would watch my neighbors dogs when they went out of town. I’d love to spend some time with your pets this summer! I’m a recent college grad looking for some short term work for the summer before moving in August for my post-grad job. I’m available to drop in and walk your pets or spend a bit more time with them while you take a break! Happy to stay with your pets all night or just drop by for a walk mid-day! I’ll follow you and your pets lead on how far to go, how long to play, and what to do!

“We used Jess for dog sitting for the first time and will definitely book with her again! It was a long trip, and everything went great. It was clear when we got home that our 14-year old pup liked Jess and was comfortable with her. Jess did everything we asked her to, and there was absolutely no problems. Definitely recommend!”

“Mariah far exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter. The dogs absolutely loved her, and it was clear they were happy and well cared for the entire time. She kept our house clean, communicated consistently, and sent us pictures of the dogs every single day—which we truly appreciated. We had complete peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Mariah and would absolutely use her again.”

About: Guaranteeing love, attention, and compassion when you need to step away from home regardless for length of time or reason. I am highly dedicated to my families and their furry family members. I add a touch of difference with the care I provide to all of the animals I work with in that I treat each one individually and never work in a "cookie cutter" approach. I started working with and training animals (horses and dogs) at the age of fifteen. Throughout the years, my interest and passion with animals grew, as well as my experience. I currently have two dogs, a german shepherd and a very entertaining rescue mix. With my german shepherd, we are a K9 team with a search and rescue organization where we are called upon by law enforcement only for people who go lost or missing throught the upper Midwest. I still currently train dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, in addition to training service dogs through an individually owned local business. Due to my long-term experience, I am able to adapt to your pets' individual needs with age, both young and old. I am trained in pet first-aid and CPR, and I am comfortable with any prescribed medical care needs you may have necessary for them. I truly enjoy building a sincere bond and connection with each family I encounter so that when they step away, they can feel at ease and enjoy their time without distress or worry. Topnotch care is my priority! I have decided after many years of working in family care industries, that my remaining years, I want to follow what was my childhood dream. Working with animals, yet still getting to keep my other passion, family care. I couldn't ask for a better combination. With my many years of experience, I always adapt my care to each of my pets needs. As I previously had mentioned I don't believe in "cookie cutter care" approach. I tailor my care to each pets individual needs and concerns.

About: I bring two years of vet tech schooling and a genuine love for dogs and cats, offering safe, attentive, knowledgeable care that keeps every pet relaxed and happy. I'm currently working part time so I have lots of free time to care for your furry loved ones. My availability is pretty flexible for the summer :) I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who is friendly and crate trained. I’m attentive to noise, stimulation, and comfort, especially for pets who may be anxious in new environments.

About: I grew up on a farm with many farm animals along with many dogs and cats. As I got older I worked for dog a dog training company and my love for animals has grown immensely! I currently have a fish named Blueberry but would love to be out in the community to be able to help you and your family with dog or cat sitting. I am currently a college student I have classes for a couple hours a day and my weekends are free so I’m here to help. I currently like in an apartment that I can not have pets in so I can help take care of your pets in your home. I can go for walks or play with them for a while I know animals like a schedule so I’d like to make sure that your animals feel safe and happy.

About: I've taken care of, trained and loved animals since I was little. Growing up that infatuation grew into a dream to have my own kennel and business. Now I own and operate Pawsitive Journey, so in a way uou could say that dream has turned into a reality. I'm experienced with a wide variety of behaved dogs, puppies and more. Don't be afraid to reach out. When your fur babies are in my care, they will be treated and cared for as family. I'm currently self-employed through Pawsitive Journey, so I will have plenty of time to provide your pet with the care, attention, and playtime you want and expect.

“Samantha stayed at our house for two nights to watch our old fella and it was great. Couldn’t even tell she’d been there and the dog was happy and taken care of. Will definitely have her again!”
