House Sitting Scotland

“Alyssa was fantastic! I have a house full of different pets, and she did a fantastic job managing all of their unique scheduling and dietary needs. She kept us informed of how things were going, and the house looks like she wasn't even here ( with the exception that she cleaned the litter boxes and took out the trash even though we didn't ask her to do so). Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Lauren is a very sweet young lady. She was very good with our nine week old German Shepherd puppy Nala. I would definitely recommend her and I will be booking her again as long as she wants to deal with my crazy puppy. 🤣”

“Very responsive leading up to and during the whole stay. Took great care of our dog and house. We will definitely hire her again.”

“Olivia was great hanging out with my 13 year old pup while I went to a wedding! She was flexible and communicated well. Definitely recommend!”

Brooke R.

“Meg was just great. This was our first time leaving Kurtis overnight and based on the many pictures that Meg sent and her text messages to us he adjusted very well and was happy. She followed directions that we left and the house was in perfect order when we arrived home. We are looking forward to having Meg dog sit for Kurtis again.”

About: I am an animal lover through and through! I’ve been taking care of many different types of dogs and cats since as long as I can remember. I am comfortable around all dogs and cats, and I am more than willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal in particular. When I come to care for, play with, and walk your pet, I will dedicate my time to truly loving them. I have experience staying at owners houses to take exceptional full-time care of their pets, and I also have experience keeping pets in my home! I have practiced basic animal training such as teaching dogs and cats to sit, stay, and shake. I truly adore animals and I will enjoy every minute of caring for your fur-babies! I am currently an Elementary Education student at the University of Connecticut, but I have tons of free time to take care of pets, whether that be for drop-ins or for more personal care in my home! Currently I am available full-time and I can accept last minute bookings. While dropping in to care for your pets, I will of course be incredibly respectful of your space, going only in the rooms I am allowed and touching only the items needed to care for your animals :) To care for animals in my own apartment, I have made sure that potentially hazardous items (small items, food, plants, etc.) are all put away/placed at a height that dogs and cats cannot reach. While I do not have a fenced yard, there are several parks around my apartment where I can consistently take your dog out on long walks. In my home, animals are also allowed on beds and couches! Please let me know if your pet requires any specific accommodations or changes to the environment :)

About: I'm currently the behavior manager for our dog team at Our Companions Animal Rescue. I work at our sanctuary where I manage a team of competent handlers and I work with reactive/aggressive dogs. I'm currently working on getting my CPDT. If you hire me, I promise your canine companion will receive the care, compassion, patience, and attention they deserve. I'm generally always free Sundays and Mondays. I do work full-time Tuesday to Saturday, so my availability is somewhat limited. I can provide my dog walking/activity assistance after 4pm on those work days, except Fridays. Due to my long history and experience working with dogs, I have the ability to read dogs very well to detect if they are anxious, fearful, or uncomfortable. My goal is to make sure your dog gets exactly what they need, whether it's a certain activity they enjoy, training they need, or a certain destination they love for their outdoor time. Positive reinforcement is the name of the game.

“Morgan watched our older dog and cat for a week. We came home to very happy pets, a clean house, and she even picked veggies from our garden. We got many cute pics during the week and communications were great. She managed medications perfectly. She is awesome!”

About: Ive been pet sitting for a while! Im very friendly and patient with animals! Ive taken care of cats, and small dogs! Ive taken dogs on walks and dedicated playtime to both cats and dogs! Many people are very satisfied with my care! Im great with following schedules and making pets foods exactly how they prefer it! My routine is largely based off my college schedule! I will take jobs such as drop bys and walks during the week after my classes, which currently end around 2 at the latest. Most of my weekends are free, so I am able to stay nights to keep your pet feeling safe and happy! I care for your pet through patience and friendliness! I tend to talk to animals like most people do, to try and make pets feel safer! After all its what i do with my own pets! I usually like to get to know pets to understand them better so I can help them feel safer while their buddies are away! I like to create a comfortable environment for all pets I help take care of

About: I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I had two Pekingese dogs when I was younger, they lived until 16 yrs old. A few years ago my family adopted a Border collie/lab mix. Benson is so energetic and loves to go on mile long walks. My husband and I also have a Labrador retriever, he loves to go on walks but more so to the dog park so we do frequent there. This past Christmas we also added a new addition to the family, Mikey, our hyperactive and fun labradoodle. He’s still a puppy but he’s definitely good at keeping us on our toes especially his older brother Jordey! I also have my own personal experience with dogs, Ive been walking/caring for others’ pets since 2017. I love it so much, meeting new dogs, all breeds, sizes and ages. I would love nothing more than to make your pet feel loved, safe and nurtured whether you just may be at work or away on a trip! But I’m pretty flexible so feel free to message me even if it’s outside these times and maybe I can squeeze your furbaby into my schedule! I always tell my clients to feel free to leave me a note or list of things they’d love for me to follow. Can be any special dietary needs or structure they need me to follow.

“Phoebe is an absolute pro! She is kind, considerate, and detail oriented. She clearly has a gift with animals. She stayed at my house with my two needy dogs while my husband and I were in Philly getting married. Weddings are stressful, but I TRULY didn’t stress about my pups at all, and that is the greatest wedding gift anyone could have given us! She left our house in better condition than we left it, and my dogs went outside to look for her when we came home! I really can’t thank you enough, Phoebe! :) I will absolutely book again!!”

“Kaitlynn has been so wonderful to work with! My dog has anxiety with strangers and she has been so patient with her while working to gain her trust. She is very easy to talk to and to work with and I am excited to continue working together in the future! She followed all routines accordingly including walking, feeding and giving medication. I can’t say enough great things about her!”

Kathryn D.

“Dina took such good care of our fur babies! We had no worries while on vacation and she checked in with photos (and dressed our pups up for Fourth of July too!) We lost power at our house on the last day, and Dina was fantastic at keeping us updated and making sure our pups were safe! 💞”

About: I have over 2 years of dog sitting experience and currently work full time at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m experienced with feeding routines, exercise, and group play, and I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I work full time, five days a week, as an opener at The Mellow Mutt, with typical 6-hour shifts. My schedule can occasionally shift, so a bit of flexibility is helpful, but I do my best to keep things consistent for pet owners. I’m also a full-time online student at SNHU, which allows me to stay flexible and available for house sitting needs. I usually work Wednesday afternoons and most of the day Sunday, and my only consistent day off is Saturday, making me available for extended stays and attentive overnight care. While staying in your home, I focus on keeping your dog’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to their feeding, walking, and play schedules, and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I’m very attentive to their behavior and comfort, so I can quickly adjust to their needs and help them feel safe while you’re away. I also keep your home clean and respected, and I’m happy to provide updates so you can feel at ease knowing your dog is well cared for.

About: I love animals and will treat your home and pets as my own. I am available most all day to cater to their special needs. Daily reports and photos at your request! Red Cross pet first aid & CPR certified. Excellent references available. I am retired and your pets will be my primary focus. I have plenty of time to tend to any special needs and to spoil them as you see fit. My daily rates include two pets. I have reliable transportation and will stay in your home allowing maximum comfort for your pets and following their regular routine. I will walk, brush, give meds and play with them. I am happy to water plants, collect mail/packages and give access to prearranged maintenance providers.

“Camber is wonderful! She came prepared with great questions, got along with my pup right away and even brought her own treats. Highly recommend and will definitely use her again!”

“I have two cats that get very upset when I'm away, but Emma took care of them like they were her own and they were two happy boys when I got back. So grateful for the care and thought she put into our boys and our home”

Meghan S.

“Wonderful! Sam helped us in a last minute situation and I couldn’t recommend her more! We have two slightly rambunctious dogs and she handled them wonderfully - updating me regularly with pictures and how they were doing. We felt comfortable knowing that the dogs and house were in good hands.”

About: I am a mature single woman. I had a purebred Pomeranian whom I’ve loved and cherished for the last 16 years. Mister Cooper passed away in December. I can’t bear to get another dog but miss his companionship terribly. Since I work remotely and only require a router and a modem, I thought I’d try loving other people’s pets while traveling at the same time. Cooper was diabetic, requiring insulin injections twice a day. He was also blind and deaf. Cooper and I took 3 nice long walks every single day, until the last couple of years. We would walk in blizzards, nothing stopped him, he LOVED it! I am prepared and comfortable caring for pets with any physical ailments. I will travel just about anywhere in the country or the world. I am a non-smoker. I would like to keep assignments between 1 week and 1 month so I can spend time with my family and friends in Massachusetts. Please allow me the opportunity to love and spoil your pet. Sincerely, Laurie

“Jacqueline watched our two rescue dogs (ages 3 and 6) in our house for a week and did a fabulous job! She was so understanding of their behavioral quirks and kept us updated frequently. It was a relief knowing they were in such good hands and seeing photos of their happy faces while we were away. Thank you, Jacqueline!”
