House Sitting Samuels Corner

“Anna was absolutely fantastic! She sent photos everyday keeping me comfortable that my girl was taken well care of and enjoying her presence as well. She was a wonderful house guest and went above and beyond to make it seem like she wasn’t even there. I will definitely be booking Anna in the future.”

“Sydney watched our 5 dogs for a week, while we were on vacation. We couldn't be happier with the service she provided. She took wonderful care of our dogs, and sent texts and photos to let us know how things were going. We expected a mess when we got back, but the house was exactly as we'd left it. She even took the trash out. Definitely highly recommended.”

Tolaky

“Erica was prompt with all communication and I’m pretty sure my home is cleaner than I left it. I appreciated her frequent updates, especially considering our dog can be a handful. I’m glad to have found a trustworthy sitter who is willing to care for our pet in our own home. We’ve already booked her again!”

“Ashleigh was such a good pet sitter! She took car of my dog, Molly and my iguana, Fernando for the holidays and because she’s a vet tech I knew if anything went wrong she would be able to help my babies. She was punctual and sent pictures every time she was at my house which I loved because we worry about them when we’re gone. Her prices are amazing and we recommend her for all your pet sitting needs! We will definitely be using her again, thank you for taking such good care of them!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a young child and have experience with dogs of different ages, personalities, and care needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require special diets, additional patience, and medication administration. In addition to dogs, I have over six years of experience caring for cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, providing playtime, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care. I’m currently awaiting my start date for a new nursing job and have open availability Monday-Sunday currently until mid-September. I’m available anytime during the day! At clients’ homes I tend to care for the animal as suggested by the owner. I care for all pets the way I’d want mine cared for, but I know pets are like children and all have special considerations.

About: Since I was young I've been a fan of animals, my family has owed several, And its been my joy to take care and nurture them. Ive been taking care of pets for a long time and in that I've learned alot about how to care for, treat, and love lots of different kinds of animals, Dogs especially but I am not a stranger to the feline kind, I am experienced with small and larger dogs, as well as dogs with more nervous or flights temperaments. If you choose me to take care of your furry companion I will do everything to make sure they are happy, healthy, and safe in my care. I hope to hear from you soon :) I am currently privileged to have an abundance of free time this means I am available to handle more lengthy stays or more involved care. I am very detailed oriented and a stickler for routine, if you have a pet that need specific or very exact care I am more than capable of doing things right, even for pets that need less specialization I am more than able to give your pet what they need in any environment.

“Addy did a great job watching our two pups. She sent updates and was excellent communicating with us throughout the weekend. Would be happy to have her back again.”

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have extensive hands on experience caring for a wide variety of breeds, including French Bulldogs, Labrador Retrievers, and American Bullies. Growing up in a multi dog family, I learned early on how to manage different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I believe in treating every guest dog like a member of my own family. Your pup will enjoy a structured, fun day packed with plenty of outdoor playtime, mental stimulation, and healthy treats. Whether your dog is a high energy fetch champion or a professional couch snuggler who needs a gentle touch, I promise to give them the absolute best care and keep them spoiled rotten! Because I work entirely from home and have a highly flexible schedule, pet care is the central focus of my daily routine! I am at home throughout the day, which means your pet will receive constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and unlimited companionship.My routine revolves around the needs of the animals in my care. I provide structured feeding times, regular indoor/outdoor playtime, and plenty of dedicated attention. Your pet will never have to worry about being left alone for long stretches of time, making my home perfect for pets who thrive on human presence and routine. When pets stay in my home, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer a cozy, apartment style environment where your pet is treated exactly like family. Since I have four indoor cats of my own, I maintain a strictly secure environment with locked doors and windows.I introduce new pets slowly and carefully. If your pet prefers their own space, my home allows for easy separation using separate rooms or baby gates so everyone feels safe and relaxed. Your pet will enjoy full access to the living areas, comfortable places to lounge, and constant attention throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow the routine you have established to keep your pet's stress levels as low as possible. I am incredibly respectful of your living space and leave it exactly as I found it.

About: Dogs are my babies. There is nothing I love more than to have them follow me around the house. I am willing to work with small and medium dogs (up to 30 lbs). When you leave your dog with me, you can expect a laid back day with frequent leash walks and lots of cuddling on the couch. I have experience pet sitting for family members, and it is one of my favorite things to do. I am available full time, any day of the week. I am also able to offer overnight care. I will promptly communicate any changes to my availability. My yard does not have a fence, so the dogs can only go out for leash walks. There are no other pets in my home.

“April is seriously the sweetest. She helped us out with a last-minute work trip and still showed up with so much care even while going through a hard time herself. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of and that gave us so much peace of mind. We truly appreciate her and would 100% love working with her again. 💛”

About: I have had dogs ever since I was little but didn't start being able truly experience the responsibility of taking care of dogs until about 12. Caring for my dogs has served as a great example throughout my life of showing me patience, unconditional love, and loyalty. Over the years I have had 6 dogs with 3 being the ones that I was old enough to care for. All of them with their individual, outgoing personalities have been a joy in my life. A stand out experience I've had with my dogs, has to be currently with caring for my elderly and sickly dog, Yoshi. He is a 10-year-old Husky-Akita who has an autoimmune disease called Pemphigus Vulgaris which severely affects his skin. Out of my family of 4, I have been his primary caretaker; administering his medicine when he was on it, researching different remedies to help him, bathing him to soothe his irritated & itchy skin, making him a natural ointment to treat his wounds, and changing his diet off of dry dog food to a medley of Freshpet dog food and steamed vegetables. Although the process is trying, I see him as God's animal and I feel I've been given the responsibility to care and love him unconditionally as animals were made to do the same for us. I am a freelance graphic designer who works from home so I have open availability to provide animal care. Mostly available Sun-Fri, Limited availability on Saturdays I have a small yard but live in a housing development that is dog friendly with lots of sidewalks and trails that provide dog waste trashcans. Besides walking, I provide feeding, brushing, bathing, administering ointment or medication, and lots of love and attention.
