Pet Sitting in Scottsburg

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: 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 !

“Sadie is very caring for our fur-baby and is great at asking questions and getting to know everything about our pup. We look forward to having her watch our girl more in the future.”

“Larraine kindly stepped in to help us at very short notice. Our cats were very happy to see us on our return, but we knew they’d been cared for while we were away with a lot of love and attention!”

About: I have been dog sitting for many years. I am available to walk dogs, house sit and do check ins on animals as well. I have cared for puppies and senior dogs. I have experience with large and small dogs alike so I can make accommodations for all types of dogs. My own dog was blind and had a strict diet so I am familiar with special needs a dog might have as well. I enjoy hiking, walks and spending time at home. I will ensure to follow any schedule that your dog might have and make sure that their time away from you is as ideal as possible. I am available to come to your home and stay with your dog while you are away. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to take care of your dogs whenever is needed. I am available everyday of the week. I take care of others dogs as they are my own. I want this to be as easy as possible for both the owner and dog so I keep a close eye on the animals and follow all of the directions of care provided.

I am also totally willing to come to your location. Dogs, cats, birds, or anything else. I can administer medication. I can clean up your dogs messes, or try.

“Samantha was a quick study, efficient, kind, and was able to touch my skittish cat at first meeting! I was so worried but she took my worries away and was so happy to get her reassuring words and pic while I was away. I was also happy to learn Sam is a local which provided even more assurance and even though I live a ways out she was willing to travel to me where others I contacted all said I was out of their area. I really liked her and my kitty Jack did as well, straightforward and got the job done. Thanks Sam, you were a life saver!”

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.

“Amazing job! Love how communicative she is. All my pets and plants look well taken care of while we were gone.”

About: I have had dogs of varied sizes, temperaments, and ages throughout my life from pug/shitzus, to chow chows, to Goldens, and have loved them all. I am currently working part-time from home, so my availability to watch and care for dogs is very flexible and abundant. Including weekends and most holidays. My home is close to town country living. I am on 6 acres with very large fenced fields and a peaceful road to walk and wooded trails to explore close by. I have a 7 year old Golden Retriever that gets along well with other dogs, but also has a place to stay if your dog needs one-on-one attention.
