Dog Sitting in Scotchtown

About: Hi! My name is Sarahi, and I'm a gal who has always had a passion for loving and working with animals. I have 9 years of pet sitting experience, as I've been pet sitting since I was fourteen years old, and haven't stopped since. I love animals of any size or personality or quirk - they're all worthy of love and attention in my eyes! However, those who know me know that I have a soft spot for dogs :) Neighbors, friends and family members have all trusted me to feed, walk and care for their precious fur-babies. I have experience caring for doggos of all ages- from puppies to seniors. Depending on location, duration, and/or what you prefer, I can plan to stay with them overnight or just drop in to spend time during the day as needed. I'm all about doing what is most comfortable for your fur-baby! Gentle compassion and enthusiastic care are standards I always uphold. I value clear communication and honesty with pet parents. My attention to detail helps me ensure that every pet I care for gets the individualized attention they deserve. My goal is to make sure they feel loved and safe in their own homes while you are away. I love to take them on walks, help groom and bathe them, make sure they are fed, help with medication if necessary and of course - play and give them lots of love. I can also just lay around with them if that’s more their speed. Whatever their needs, I’m here to help while you’re away! :) I can offer plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I currently work from home three days a week and have a very flexible schedule, making it super easy to bring my work to the home I sit for and attend to your pet's needs. I spend my days off participating in volunteer work mostly in the mornings, but I always ensure to be back in time to take care of them. I am unable to board at my house but am more than willing to drop in or stay at yours :)- whatever makes you and your pet feel most comfortable! In both cases, I make sure to follow pet parents’ instructions very carefully. I will ensure that all areas that we are playing or walking in are either fenced in or they are always leashed. When I’m away, they can be crated if needed and I will ensure they are let out before I leave. Pets in my care are always supervised. I make sure to regularly check on them when things seem too quiet, and am attentive to food, water, and potty needs. I provide a comfortable and familiar environment for your pet, sticking to their regular routines. I also give lots of attention and love to keep them feeling safe and happy. After years of house sitting, I am also used to existing respectfully in someone else’s space. I am tidy and always try to make your home as clean as it was when you left before I leave. I am a quiet neighbor and will ensure that all doors are locked/security systems are set when needed. I make sure to stay in constant communication with you, sending updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in great hands!

About: I am an enthusiastic young woman with a strong love for animals. I have owned 5 dogs throughout my life (I currently own 4), so I am fairly experienced when it comes to caring for animals. I have pet-sat countless family and friend animals, making me well-experienced when it comes to animal-sitting. No matter what the size or breed, I will make sure your pet (or pets!) receive the absolute best care. I will feed, walk, play with, watch, and love your pet. With me, you can trust that your pet(s) are in good hands. After all, your furry friend(s) deserve the best! I have experience with caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I have expert experience in caring for reptiles and fish, as I was a ball python and beta fish owner. I am currently working 2 jobs. My morning shifts start between 7AM and 9AM and end anywhere between 1PM and 5PM. My afternoon shifts start at 2PM and end around 9PM. Some days I work all day between both of my jobs. On these days I am able to conduct drop-in visits and/or walks on my break. I can easily stop in for morning, afternoon, or evening walks and check-ins based on my availability. I just recently got a furry friend of my own so I am unable to provide overnight stays. I have extensive experience with caring for both large and small breeds. Most of my skillset is catered toward dogs, however, I have had experience with cat sitting. I can walk, feed, and care for all breeds. I am a huge animal lover and do not have any preferences when it comes to breed type or size. I absolutely love playing with animals or simply just relaxing with them. I own a hatchback vehicle, so if the animal requires a transport I can provide that service.

About: I grew up having dogs, cats, chickens, a turtle and a mouse and always wished to have more! And then started pet sitting for other people’s furry babies. I have experience with the most active and excited, as well as shy and quiet souls. I’ve learned how to take care of puppies and senior dogs. I’ve taken some classes for my mom’s dog to train him which gave me even more of an understanding of their behavior. But most of all, I truly love each pet I meet! I work part time as a medical Russian interpreter and usually leave the house 4 hours or so at a time once or twice a day. So please let me know your pet’s needs in advance! I mostly care for pets at your home. Let me know what your expectations are so I can carefully consider if I'm a good match for your pet!

“So amazing! Came and met us before the day of and notified me when she was there. Chip was a sleepy happy puppy when we got home! Definitely will use again ❤️”

“Amberly was GREAT. Knew exactly what to do while caring for my 2 cats while I was away for 10 days. Very responsive and good communication. Will re-book!”

“Sammy is the absolute best in the area! She took such good care of our dog Ellie and we would use her services again in a heartbeat. We got lots of pictures of the visit, and she took her for a nice long walk. She definitely knows her stuff with dogs, and when she first met us and Ellie, she let Ellie warm up to her on her own terms and took her time. Before we knew it Ellie was curled up on her lap. We trust Sammy to watch her in the future and highly recommend all of her services! She is very flexible and accommodating as well. Very satisfied dog parents here!”

About: I have more than 10 years of experience volunteering for animal shelters and working with pups! I’ve worked as a kennel assistant and bather/groomer with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and breeds, including puppies, seniors and disabled dogs. I also have experience in overnight pet sitting as well as drop-ins, caring for cats and dogs alike of relatives and family friends. Anyone who knows me, knows I light up the moment I see a dog, and I love the connection I quickly build with almost every animal I meet. I strive for meticulous attention to detail and upmost care. As a highly sensitive person, I am very attuned to how your pet is feeling and aim to make them feel comfortable and happy. I’d love to become your pet’s new friend! I am available most weekdays; I also run my own business so my schedule is flexible. Weekends are tricky but weekend evenings can be a possibility, if needed! Visiting clients homes, I am happy to offer feedings and/or medications, tidy any pet-related messes, and go on potty walks local to the client’s location. Always included: scritches, playtime and treats!

“Used Kamille for the first time for my puppy for a drop in visit. She was quick to schedule a meet and greet once I contacted her, I could tell she was good with animals as soon as I met her. The visit went very well, she did everything that was asked and I could tell my puppy was very happy when I got home. The report card was detailed and let me know exactly how things went.”

About: Our pets are more than just companions. They are family, this makes them so much more precious. Which is why with me I can guarantee that I will do my best to provide the love and care your pet deserves. I have cared for dogs young and old, big and small, calm and energetic, you name it. I have experience feeding, cleaning after them as well as themselves, and giving medications with specific instruction. I am available all night on Monday into the evening on Tuesdays. As well as in the evening on Fridays up until the evening on Sunday. Other days of the week are very negotiable to what you may need! I personally love to encourage as much activity as possible with my dogs to ensure they get healthy amounts of play time. This in turn allows them to get ample rest when they are tired from activity further encouraging a healthy lifestyle for my furry kiddos.

“Jacklyn was great! She always sent photos and played with my cat when she stopped in. I felt like my cat was very well taken care of and her communication was great.”

About: I love animals and have always had cats and dogs for pets. My last pet, a dog named Colby passed 2 years ago and I am still so heartbroken I have not yet gotten a new dog because I am afraid of going through losing a pet again. I feel that sharing my love and caring for someone's dog will clear that worry from my mind and open me up to adopting a new best friend. I am retired so I will be home 24/7 to care for the dogs. I have a big yard so dogs in my care will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I also have a deck so we'll be able to relax and have a snack in the sunshine. I own my home and it sits on an acre of land so there is plenty of room.I am retired so I am home 24/7. There are really not too many restrictions in my house. I usually close a few doors to other rooms so I know what and where the dog is doing at all times.

“Jenna was amazing! Our usual sitter had to cancel last minute after we had already left. Jenna accommodated a VERY last minute request and saved the day so we didn’t have to leave our event! She was reliable, caring, and gave us total peace of mind. Highly recommend her! Thank you Jenna!!”

“Kristina did an amazing job with our cat Maxie! Although he is very shy and skittish, he warmed up to Kristina almost immediately. She followed our instructions perfectly and actually went above and beyond to make Maxie feel comfortable. The proof is in the pictures she took of herself and Maxie together. He looks completely relaxed and happy. We would not hesitate to ask Kristina back again! She’s amazing.”
