House Sitting in Seal Cove

“Kirk did an outstanding job pet/house sitting for us. He is dependable and arrived on time for the stay. He is a great communicator and kept us informed by text and with photos and videos. Kirk is cognizant of situations that may need attention; there was a medical issue about which Kirk informed us. After visiting with us, Kirk confidently resolved the issue and took the best care of our dog. Kirk took great care of our house as well. Mail was brought in; plants were watered; floors were vacuumed; kitchen, bathroom, bedroom were cleaned. It was as if we had never left. Our dog was happy to see us but was very calm and content. It was obvious to us that Kirk had provided a secure stay for him. We had absolutely no worries about our dog or the house while Kirk was in our home. We highly recommend Kirk and will rebook with him in the future without hesitation.”

“Cleo was wonderful with my dog Crue. He immediately warmed up to her. She checked in with pictures and updates while she stayed with him. Would most definitely have her back and would highly recommend her”

“Charlotte was exceptional! She loved on our pup and cat like crazy. She sent many, many updates, videos, and pictures. Her warm and kind spirit made all of us love her instantly. We think the pets had a better vacation than we did! Last- the house looked as though she’d never been there (other than the thoughtful note she left). We HIGHLY recommend Charlotte for pet sitting!”

“This was our first time using Rover. We have an anxious puppy and weren’t sure how it would go. Jessica made several house visits ahead of time so Nieva could get to know her. Nieva was excited to see her and sad when her new friend left. We’ll definitely be using her in the future. I was able to relax knowing she was in good hands.”

“Sonia was amazing! Lots of pictures throughout and our anxious pooch was at ease and loved her instantly. Will definitely be using her as much as we can book her!”

About: I am always the first to be called when a friend needs doggy daycare or house sitting with dogs, cats, and often other animals. I’ve fostered and found homes for rescues internationally and domestically. I’ve worked for a doggy daycare where I was responsible for 50-70 dogs with a crew of 2-4 people. I also spent a few months off and on taking care of 10-22 huskies while part of the herd were sled racing. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and enjoy seeing all of their unique personalities. I’ve loved animals since I was small. We always had cats when I was little, as well as ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, my turtle boy China B, parakeets, and a Senegal parrot foster. I was surprised with a rescue dog when I was 10, Hemingway. It was an amazing experience and I helped train Hemmy to be a service dog for my grandmother who was visually impaired. Winter rates are now $250/day for basic overnights, includes 3 pets. Will adjust include extra rates accordingly to animals and household needs. I’m self employed and have the flexibility to set my daily schedule around your animals needs and regular routine. Lots of scritches, play time and love are part of my commitment to your pets. I am available for short and long walks (depending on your animals needs and ability), playtime, companionship, love and affection, meals and snacks as well as monitoring medication if needed.

“Julia was terrific! Our Stanley can be a little shy around new people, but she came and met him before spending several nights with him, and the second time she came he was so excited to see her! She sent us daily pictures, took him on lots of hikes, and took such great care of our little buddy. We are so thankful for her and won’t be using anyone else!”

About: Hi there! My name is Rory and I am an animal lover. I grew up with animals of all kinds, but have experience with horses, dogs, and cats. I am very patient, loving, and responsible, and love giving animals the attention/love that they need! I am familiar with care of animals of all ages and physicality, with years of volunteering under my belt. I am also very active and work out quite a bit, so (for dogs) a walking companion is great, but a jogging one is even better! I have a relatively flexible schedule, and am lucky to work quite close to where I live. I have experience fostering animals in the past and my living space is well equipped for any furry companion! I am currently working part time and live with my husband, and my own furry companions (2 cats and one dog!). They are all friendly, well adjusted and enjoy visitors. I am able to take my pup on a walk every day (about 1-3 miles depending on the day) rain or shine. Animal care is part of my normal routine and I look forward to being a caregiver to all furry friends in my home or yours (currently not accepting care from my own home, but happy to do drop in visits or house sitting for clients) I live on a very quiet area off of the main road. I am happy to keep your dog on a leash at all times when not indoors, and can crate them if needed. My shifts away from home are never longer than 4 hours. Our home is doggy proof (no chewable cords, small toys, or plastic bits accessible) and we keep all food off of our counters. I am also capable of making any and all adjustments that your pup may need, including all of the above in your own home environment. I am happy to do overnight stays or drop ins depending on your needs and my schedule.

About: I have 4 years of pet care experience professionally as well as lots of informal experience. I’m comfortable walking and sitting all kinds of dogs- different sizes, personality, and needs! I love animals and I love getting to know new dogs. I have experience with giving oral meds, working with reactive dogs, and not afraid to clean messes! I currently work Thursday-Saturday, but am available the other days of the week. I can work morning and evenings and I am flexible with scheduling I always ensure I have a secure grip on leashes so that they won’t slip out of my hand if a dog lunges or starts to run. I stay aware of my surroundings and monitor what’s on the ground and whether there are other dogs around. I am also happy to communicate with owners as much as they would like and give updates on their animals!
