House Sitting in Severn

“Katie is wonderful!! We have a very sweet, and large, special needs dog named Gotham. He is epileptic and on multiple medications. Katie was great at remembering to give all meds as planned and took good notes to understand all of his many needs. While in her care, Gotham unfortunately had 2 seizure episodes during her overnight stay (not uncommon, but a scary event for someone watching him for the first time.) I could not have asked for a more loving and caring person to stay with him and care for him while we were away! I felt so comfortable with her there and was worried more for her and how she was feeling (seizures are scary and upsetting to watch) than what was actually going on. The best part was that hours after she had left, she texted to ask how Gotham was doing, this made my heart so incredibly happy. We are so excited to have found Katie and will most certainly continue using her for our future trips! Thank you Katie, for loving and caring for our special boy as if he was your own!”

“Wren is the perfect sitter for our two energetic pups! We enjoyed regular updates and photos whilst away on our trip and Wren really took the time to understand our dogs personalities and routines to make them as comfortable as possible whilst we were away. We would 100% recommend Wren and have already booked in again! Thank you Wren!”

“Jaime took great care of my two labs and home while I was away for 5 days. He communicated regularly with pictures easing my mind that all was well. He left goodie bags for the dogs - a very kind gesture. Jaime is a stellar sitter who I highly recommend.”

“Erica is amazing! She took great care of our elderly dog and our 2 bunnies! She communicates frequently a d has a great sense of humor. We will be sure to book her for all our future pet sitting needs!”

“I was a little nervous using this service because I had never before but Kelly really made this process and experience so peaceful and enjoyable. She made sure my pitbull Pearl was well taken care of with plenty of outside time, feedings in the mornings, checkups throughout the day, and lots of belly rubs. She stay connected with me and sent pictures of my fur baby which definitely put me at ease as I was out of town. She definitely is an animal lover which puts any pet owner at ease! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker/sitter”

“I cannot say enough good things about Christa. She watched our very sweet but busy Aussiedoodle who has some separation anxiety and also does not like to be left alone. Christa stuck right by her side the whole time we were gone and was incredibly attentive to her all day and night the whole time we were gone. We could tell that our dog felt comfortable with Christa almost immediately by the photos Christa generously updated us with the entire time our dog was in her care - our dog who is not a snuggler with anyone but her closest people spent tons of time snuggled up next to Christa! We could see that Christa took her outside and played with her many times throughout the day. We arranged a dog-friend playdate both days, and the other dogs' owner raved about how impressed she was by how caring Christa was and that she could tell immediately that Christa just loves dogs. We felt so comfortable that our dog was in amazing hands with all the updates Christa sent us and how happy our dog looked in the photos she sent. She also followed our directions to a T and made sure our dog's routine was kept as close to normal as possible. Christa was a complete relief for someone so anxious about leaving their dog in someone else's care. I would recommend her to ANYONE looking for an incredibly caring and comforting pet sitter who will treat your pet like her own. We would definitely use Christa again and our dog will surely be happy to see her again next time.”

About: I have completed courses for dog care and management from Pack Pro Training and Fear Free Pets. I am currently reviewing them. I have also received a first aid certification for cats and dogs by the American Red Cross online course. I have a dog at home but we have family that stays in the home 24/7 to care for him. He prefers to keep to himself. I do reserve mornings for him unless I am sitting. If you are boarding you can request for anytime I have available! dogs must be flea free. We have a huge fenced in backyard. I work from home and will be home 24/7. I enjoy going for walks every morning. I can provide bowls beds and toys if boarding. I always introduce myself politely, calmly, and slowly to new dog friends. I’ve learned some information on dog behavior so I use what’s worked with my dog. The safety and comfort of your dog is my priority. I am very patient and I am neutral when instructing/directing dogs. I am well aware of dog’s need for enrichment and daily exercise. That is what I am here for!

About: Experience from new puppies to seniors. I love them all and will treat your fur baby as my own when they are in my care. I currently work from home. I leave for short periods of time to care for other dogs or cats that may be on my schedule. I have a fenced yard in a very friendly neighborhood. Your pup and I will spend time in the yard and go for some walks.

About: Hi I lived on a farm growing up I rode horses and fed all the animals in the mornings. I know how they rely on us. Around age 11 I did weekly clinics with pups helping hold them while they got shots and gave oral medicine. Also helped with adopting them out and you know that leads to fostering. That being said I’ve been around dogs and am so familiar with them. From body language to signs they need something. I’ve gotten to hear very experienced people talk about training and have gone through it with my own pup too. I’m currently able to work full time as I’m not started in schooling but that is set to change within a few months. When I do start school it will be at night. I have a fenced yard and dog door at home, very convenient. I am able to walk dogs to take them out and crate them when needed.

“Alexandra was punctual and responsive. She sent us tons of pictures and videos while we were away that helped to reassure us that our dog was having a great time. Will use her services again!”

“I hired Kerry for 24hr house sitting for my 2 dogs. Kerry communicated with me promptly prior to the house sitting and answered all my questions with patience. She suggested a short meet and greet with my dogs and they absolutely loved her from the very first moment. She kept the house exactly like how it was. She sent me pictures of our dogs frequently and updated me on how the dogs are doing. Kerry took them out for potty breaks according to our schedule. I would hire her again for any house sitting in the future. I strongly recommend her :)”

“Faith was wonderful with our cat, Bitty! She is 17 with severe kidney disease and requires a lot of extra care and medication. Faith is gentle and kind and gave Bitty all of her meds for us while we were away. She was super communicative and sent us adorable pictures! I recommend Faith to anyone whose critters need a little bit of extra TLC and will continue to trust her with our little fur babies ?”

“Veronica took great care of our dog and cat. She went above and beyond our expectations and our pets liked her. We will be using her again!”

About: I've been a veternary technician for about 7 years and I am currently in nursing school. I've worked in general practice, and specialities such as neurology, ophthalmology, and cardiology. I've loved animals since a very young age. I currently work part time on PRN shifts and I am in nursing school full time, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I have a fenced in yard for pet sitting. I also am very aware of surrounding and comfotabiliy of a pet in there own home.

“Erin does a great job with our girls. She always gives them personal attention and treats, let them out regularly and even threw in a couple of walks around the block. I've used Erin several times now, and will continue to use her as my go-to dog sitter.”

“Sophie is the greatest! I have a hyper dog and 2 cats. When I get home from a trip they are happy and the house looks great!”

“Our first experience with Linda was fantastic! She was courteous, responsive, professional and took wonderful care of our big yellow lab, Benson. She sent pictures throughout her stay, our home was spotless when we returned home and she had even cleaned the sheets and left delicious homemade goodies on the counter! We won’t hesitate to contact her the next time we leave town and need a dog sitter!!”

“Samantha was great with our pup, who required medication while we were away for the night. She updated us regularly and sent great pics. Thank you!”

“I would highly recommend Jeff! While he house sat for my very shy rescue pup for several days, he made the experience very stress free by being very communicative, friendly, and, most importantly, reliable. He clearly was doing his best to ensure that my dog was comfortable and cared for.”

“Chris really did an amazing job with my pup Kobe. From the moment I met him, he was timely and paid attention to great detail. I was impressed with his ability when approaching a new dog and Kobe is a bit timid with males but he took to Chris really quickly. I felt assured that Kobe was in good hands. Chris sent pictures throughout the week and gave me plenty of updates as it was my first time being away from him for so long. When I came home, all was just as I left it, including my big guy Kobe! I would recommend Chris and will be continuing to use his services in the future 🙂”
