House Sitting in Scottsburg

“Absolutely wonderful! Larraine was very responsive from the get go and the communication kept flowing throughout the process and the trip. My pup(who can be super anxious) showed no signs of anxiety when we got home, just happiness. Great experience, highly recommend.”

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs in my life since the day I was born, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. My current dog, JD, has only deepened my love and understanding of how important patience, trust, and routine are for pets. In addition to being a lifelong dog owner, I also have a professional caregiving background, which has strengthened my reliability, attentiveness, and ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I’m comfortable following routines, giving medications when needed, and providing compassionate care to both people and animals. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, overnight care, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance while you’re away, I’ll care for them like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for others has always been a big part of my life. Between raising and caring for animals throughout my life and my professional caregiving background, I’m very used to building my schedule around routines, consistency, attentiveness, and reliability. I enjoy incorporating walks, feeding routines, playtime, check-ins, and companionship into my day, and I’m comfortable adapting to different pets’ needs and energy levels. Since I value calm environments and structured care, I make it a priority to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and less stressed while their owners are away. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and each pet’s personality and comfort level. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, affection, and calm companionship while also respecting the client’s space and instructions. I’m especially patient with shy, anxious, senior, or routine-oriented pets and understand the importance of consistency and gentle care. I have a caregiving background, so I’m very attentive, dependable, and comfortable monitoring behavior changes, following detailed care instructions, and providing extra reassurance when needed. My goal is always to help pets feel secure, cared for, and loved while their owners have peace of mind.

About: My senior dog is constantly active which is surprising so I try and keep him as busy as possible. Some of the other older dogs I take my time with while taking them on walks. If they walk extremely slow. Other dogs tend to sniff everything which I have patience for. When a dog brings me a toy it’s an indicator for me to play with them. I work Monday through Friday so weekends are best. I take care of my own dog throughout the week with my significant other watching him on the weekends when I’m not home. I walk my dog multiple times a day knowing it’s a good way to keep him active. In my own home I watch my dog when he eats. He has 2 teeth when we adopted him so when he eats his food, I watch him very carefully. Anytime I’m not home I put on a YouTube video for dogs so he has some sound. When it comes to other animals I’ve watched, if it’s a full day I would prefer not to leave them alone. Taking them out multiple times a day and of course plenty of love!

“Rene was great. This was a short stay, but she communicated well with us and sent photos. Porterhouse was well taken care of and was happy to see us when we returned home.”

About: I absolutely love dogs ! They truly are man’s best friend till the end. I have two dogs of my own , whom I love very much ! I have experience in dog sitting as well as dog walking and I am passionate about providing good care and excited to meet new pups! I fit pet care into my day/week routine because I have two dogs of my own. One is a pit bull and another is a boarder collie so to say they need care is an understatement. They have the upmost energy. I will play with them and wear them out so they get a good nights sleep. With that being said we walk, hike, run, go to the beach, play fetch , etc. as much as we can. I treat my puppies very kindly , if not they’re quite spoiled. 😉 I care very deeply about animals and I aim to help when I can !

“Kaylee was fabulous house/pet sitting with our 2 dogs and 4 cats for four days. Followed instructions to the ‘T’ and went above beyond; very communicative and reassuring.”

About: Owner of a Siberian husky for over a decade. Have trained her since she was a puppy. She is now a senior and requires minimal walks compared to when she was young. She gets along with cats really well and is around farm animals frequently. Working 40 hours a week while managing pet care is essential, I am able to work around my schedule as fit for the animal's needs. Please inform me if any needs are requested to make sure everything, like fresh water, is taken care of. I offer care at the clients home, which I have experience in. I am usually in the same room as my pets, so I will often be in the same area with your pet while they are under supervision. Please inform me at least a day in advance for booking.
