Pet Sitting Seward Park

“Thank you for treating my puppy with a lot of love and care.”

“Kris has been great with our very excitable and wiggly pitty mix. She follows instructions and our dog has been happy and well cared for when we get home. She's restoring our trust in the system after a few disappointing experiences with past dog sitters. We will be rebooking with Kris as long as she is available and willing to do it!”

“Anais has arrived early to learn what I am currently working on with my new rescue pup. This has helped immensely to uphold consistency and keep my pup feeling safe. Anais has such great energy and is so loving and playful and great with the pups. So lucky to have found her on Rover!”

“We booked with Mik a little last minute a week before our two week international trip when our initial sitter was a no show for a meet and greet, and we are so glad we did! Mik was professional, and excellent communicator, and was very flexible working together with a family member who was also caring for our pets; especially when new challenges came up (our cat was hospitalized the weekend before we left for a urinary blockage). She was awesome at interacting with our pets at the level they were comfortable with, and I could tell that they became buds by the end of our trip! ☺️ We also appreciated all of the pictures and details we were given during her home visits, as well as how Mik put in the effort to provide engagement and stimulation for our pets on a variety of ways. I would definitely recommend booking with her, and we hope to do so again in the future!”

About: I'm fairly intuitive when it comes to understanding pets and their idiosyncrasies. I care deeply and loved on my pup from the time she was a pup until her passing. I look to share the love I have for her to other fur babies. I work part time and my hours are flexible. With enough heads up I can be very accommodating. I'm open to weekends and extended stays. I'm happy to meet before committing to care. I like to get to know the children and their environment so I can best be of service.

About: Adaptable to all dog personalities and age ranges. My service tailors to your dog's needs. Fully fenced, locked, and secure backyard. I have two rescue dogs Jasper and Phaedra. They are both terrier mixes and are both ~20lbs. Jasper had a history of abuse and was quite aggressive with new people coming to the house. We worked carefully with a trainer and greatly improved his apprehension towards strangers. He's very good with other dogs. When we rescued Phaedra, her nickname was Bumpy due to the sever dermatitis she was suffering from. I spent a lot of time applying medicated shampoo, administering oral medicines, and conducted an elimination diet to pin point her food allergies. She is a sweetheart with so much love to give. I've had Jasper for 11 years and he is a very healthy 13yo dog. He gets along well with other dogs and is very playful We have had Phaedra for 8 years and she is very healthy but we do manage a few prescriptions for some of her chronic conditions. So if your dog requires daily medicine, no problem! I'll be home on a regular basis when caring for your dog. I have a futon in the room I'm usually in that the dogs can hang out on while I am in my room. But they will also have free roam of the rest of the house. In addition, there is a fully fenced backyard with a dog door. You doggo will also have free access to the secured gated yard I have a lot of love and patience for dogs. I will follow your care instructions to the letter. Your dog will be part of our pack, and receive affection from myself, Jasper, and Phaedra. Jasper, Phaedra, and I also love to play keep away, fetch, and tug of war. In case of emergencies: I am a two minute walk from my veterinary office (Four Paws) and a 25 minute drive to Blue Pearl's 24 hour care center. But let's please discuss if you have another care provider you want me to use in case of emergency In preparation for your dog's arrival I will: wash/dry all dog blankets, clean the water bowl, put fresh sheets on the dog futon, and get a few fresh toys out. If I am ever not in the house (will never be longer than 3 hours), guest dogs as well as my dogs will be separated into separate climate controlled rooms with water, bed, blanket, and toy. I do this for safety reasons but please let me know if your dog would adversely react to this and we can arrange an alternative. I'm happy to discuss any special requests I work from home and will be home most of if not all of the day. If I leave the house, it will be for 3 hours at most. In my home your dog is part of the pack. They will receive scratches, get playtime, and have access to a securely fenced and locked backyard. Your dog will be under my constant supervision, if i haven't seen them in a bit I'll be off to see what they're up to. If I leave the house, I usually like to crate or contain in a room w/bed for safety.

About: I have extensive, hands-on experience across the entire developmental spectrum, from neonate kittens requiring specialized feeding to the patient care required for senior dogs with mobility challenges. I'm comfortable administering oral/topical medications for both cats and dogs. I move at the pet’s pace. Whether a pet is shy, high-energy, or slowing down with age, I tailor my approach to their unique comfort levels and temperament to make sure they stay happy and healthy. As a full-time professional in an office Monday through Thursday (8:00 AM – 5:00 PM), I provide highly structured and reliable care. I treat my sitting schedule with the same level of commitment as my career. Monday – Thursday: Full availability for walks, feeding, and playtime starting at 6:00 PM. Overnights: I am happy to provide overnight care for pets that are comfortable being home independently during a standard workday. Friday – Sunday: * Full-Day Availability: My schedule is completely open for adventure walks, multiple drop-ins, or more specialized care. My approach is centered on maintaining your pet's comfort and routine in the environment they know best—their own home! My evenings and weekends are dedicated to whatever your pet needs most—whether that’s an playtime, a precise medication routine, or just hanging out together on the couch! I'm comfortable administering various medications and am prepared for emergencies with my CPR training. Beyond keeping your pets safe, I treat your home with respect, ensuring it stays tidy, secure, and exactly as you left it.

“Carla came over for a meet and greet in advance and was accommodating with our timing given we had just moved. She was communicative and even brought over her own treats for our cats, one of whom was being scared in our new house so she calmed my nerves by spending extra time searching for him! She’s very friendly and clearly has a lot of experience with cats.”

“Laurel is always a savior. My little buddy loves to see her. And I’m given some reassurance that he is doing alright no matter how far away I am.”

About: James and I started pet sitting and traveling in 2018, and it has been a fabulous adventure. We enjoy taking care of all animals. We love walking the dogs to get our steps in and cats with their uniqueness. We believe staying home with them until they get settled in is very important. We won’t leave them home alone, as they are happier when we’re around. Lots of walks, play time, and snuggles. We have lived in Seward Park since 2003 in a home with a fenced yard about a mile from the park. It is a great dog walking neighborhood. We enjoy puppies and senior dogs. We are also good medicine givers. Call or text us. We are a Retired married couple who throughly enjoy dogs/cats. We have been International pet sitters since 2018, and we have found that bonding is the most important thing about boarding a new animal. Creating a trust and being there with them so they don’t feel alone. Having fun activities to do that they enjoy is imperative. Many times it’s walking and “getting a smell” of their new environment. We have many popular walking neighborhood loops and Seward Park is always a hit. We enjoy them and they enjoy us. We make it a priority to listen to their individual language and gain their trust. Our home has screened windows and lots of light. We have safe hiding places, a comfy bed, and are home a lot, which they really like. Food is very important and we feed them as requested. We listen to what our pet owners have to say about their animals, as everyone is different. Please let us know anything else that makes them feel comfortable.

“We used Claire for a long weekend for drop in visit/walk. Communication was great and our dog was happy and well taken care of. Will definitely call Claire again.”

About: Im just an animal lover that has a lot of time currently, I’m not necessarily setting myself apart from other sitters if not only that I’m reliable and responsible having myself two babies. I’m currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to to some pet sitting or take a stroll to Seward park. Depending on the pet owners instructions I normally take care of pets as they were of of my own Huskies, with care and patience. I make sure my babies are in short medium leash when walking and long leash when there’s no one around.

“Kenny did such a great job with Makai! He was very thorough and prepared. Makai got all the love and attention she needed. I would highly recommend Kenny!”

Ginny H.

“Karen was very organized and did everything we needed. Everything was in perfect order when we came back (I really appreciate that she rinsed out the cat food containers so the house didn't smell bad when we returned).”

About: My experience includes fostering senior dogs with special needs, raising and training our own standard poodle, walking a variety of dogs with unique traits and proclivities. During house sits I have a quiet routine and would spend most of my time sitting with your pet doing my quiet activities aside from playtime and long walks. I enjoy exploring new trails and am happy to keep to your pet’s familiar routines too. I am experienced in delivering medications and special diets at home. I leave your home cleaner than I found it, practicing ‘leave no trace’. I currently focus on pursuing interests via reading, writing, cooking, painting, and creating botanical perfumes and essential oil blends for friends and family. Playing with my 4 leggeds at home and caring for your beloved pets balances exercise and playful engagement with my solo activities. I am reliable, communicate with words and photos, and will get to know your pet very well. I like to focus on your pets’ needs and spread my time around their care.

“Mandy is awesome. You can tell she has a lot of experience working with cats. Jim was super happy every time she came over and she took amazing pictures of him. She was able to come in and out of our house and disarm and arm the alarm no problem.”

Josh B.

“Ash took great care of our cat Cleo while we were away. She gave her lots of cuddles and attention and made sure her needs were well taken care of. Thanks Ash!”

Shannon M.

“Stephanie is great, very professional, and extremely attentive. It was a bit of a last minute booking. She took care of my cat, making sure she was safe her first time I was away after we lost her brother. I would book her again.”

About: I grew up with golden retrievers, and fully trained my first puppies, all on my own, at age 8 and age 14! Since then, I've not only rescued and cared for street dogs but but dog-sat breeds big and small, from daytime visits to multiple week stays, and volunteer regularly at a rehab home for fearful and reactive dogs. I'm a teacher with experience in early childhood education, so my patience, compassion, and discipline skills are well-tested! I have a very flexible schedule and am extremely active, so will give your fur baby as many walks as he/she needs, and am happy to just snuggle if you have a senior or more relaxed pup. Currently, I don't have dogs or pets of my own as we just lost our soul dog, so your pup will get extra special attention and love from me. I know how ideal it is for dogs to stay in their home when their people are gone, so I am happy to house-sit in the client's home with the dog. I'm an extremely neat, tidy, respectful non-smoker. If you want someone to care for your home and pup who is doing it primarily for the snuggles and well-being of the dog, not the cash, I'm your gal! I am not working until we move to California at the end of August for my new job, so pet care is a fun and meaningful activity I’m hoping to do over the summer with all my free time. I can be home all day with your pup! I can care for pups in my home, and I have a fenced yard though parts of it may be a bit wide for the extra small pups to fit through so I will prioritize leashed outside time! I have experience with senior dogs, medically complex dogs, and puppies, so your buddy is safe with me either in my home or yours.

About: I have had various pets since childhood, and have taken care of others' pets as well sometimes for family & friends and at times in an exchange for money but always out of LOVE. Being a pet parent I understand the need for a good sitter for my pooch who can't be taken everywhere. I am great at understanding the pet's needs and vibing with them. I work from home pets are a cute way to get fresh air outside while I walk them. Additionally, spending time playing with them can help you take a break from work and get some exercise, which can be beneficial for both. I live in a dog-friendly apartment where pets are loved. We have a trail specially made for walking dogs. We have lounges and dog baths open for all pets.
