House Sitting in Shadeville

About: On a mission to become a star sitter and make this a true full time job! - About me - People have always described me as an animal whisperer, because so many animals I’ve met in my life loved me at first sight! Even exotic pets. 💕 That’s why I started pet sitting. I’m 20 years old and I’ve been pet sitting as a side gig for a few years now! Pet sitting is something I absolutely adore, as I am a huge animal lover. My schedule is entirely open so I am a very dependable sitter! I am currently unemployed so rover is my full-time job. 💗 - More about my experience/expertise - • I’ve taken care of many special needs animals over the years, so I’m very knowledgeable regarding animal disability and senior care! • I have lots of experience in medical administration and care! A lot of practice and patience comes through that process so I’ve learned just about everything there is to know about body language and trust. • I’ve taken care of sooo many puppies and I can very much keep up with play time and puppy needs! - What sets me apart from other sitters - • I make sure to take silly and cute photos all throughout the visit for you to save/post to your socials! 💕 • I make sure to follow every step you make for me perfectly. No steps forgotten, no steps skipped! • If the pups make any mess within the house, I have a tendency of sweeping before I leave. So technically you’re hiring a pet sitter and a house cleaner? 👀 If you have any general questions for me don’t be afraid to ask! I’d love to hear from you. Rest assured all fur babies are always safe in my presence. 💗 I look forward to meeting with you! I update my profile every day so no worries on incorrect information! If you book with me, I never deny! Any time that you need me, I am most certainly available. Lots of gaining trust during our first session and onward! Allowing them to sniff me, get a feel of me, no overly pushy or obnoxious behaviors that will set off fear/anxiety. I am very gentle with people as well as animals and I intend on doing the best I can for their needs. Lots of love and cuddles, understanding of anxiety/fear, offering treats and praise, patience is key. ☺️

“Louisa did an amazing job! I have a kitty with special care/feeding instructions that require attention to detail that she followed perfectly. She also took great care of my home and provided updates on everything as I away. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals just from our initial meet & greet too. I always get so nervous leaving my cat when I go on trips but Louisa absolutely earned my trust and I will be booking with her again in the future for sure as long as she’s still pet sitting. Thank you so much again :)”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of cats and dogs. From family and friends to just neighbors. I love taking care of people’s pets because it allows me to get to know them and enjoy them from a far. I am currently finishing up my senior year in high school. I am available most weekends for now, but will be looking for more opportunities over the summer. I am very trustworthy and care for peoples pets as if they were my own. I am also very careful when in others peoples homes because I would expect the same treatment if they were in my home or taking care of my pets.

“Andrew did an incredible job taking care of our two dogs while we were away for a long weekend. He was attentive & responsive throughout our trip & left our house absolutely spotless. We have already booked him again for our next weekend away!”

About: I grew up on a farm where I learned about the care for many different animals. I’ve pet sat for others since I was 16 and have been raising my own fur babies for almost 7 years now. I’m gentle, attentive, and value being on time. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own family with professional belly rubs and lots of walks! I am currently in nursing school, so when I’m not in class or at clinicals, I’m available to care for your pet however I am needed any day of the week. I am capable of tailoring care to your pet’s needs. Whether that means needing to be crated, given medication, bathed, or fed a certain way, I will do it. I know how important it is to want to be stress free when leaving your pet in the care of someone else which is why I want to create a safe and trustworthy environment so that you don’t have to worry while away.

“Followed directions and took great care of Mahi was amazing”

“Just what we needed! Very communicative, and experienced. Handled the dogs amazingly well. Couldn't have asked for better.”

Joshua C.

“Our family had a last minute trip, and Karsen was sweet enough to take care of our 2 older dogs and cat last minute. She was so communicative and made sure our girls were well taken care of and happy while we were gone and even checked on them multiple times a day to make sure they had extra time outside since they’re older and can’t hold it for too long over night. We’re so grateful!”

About: My family has owned dogs my entire life - I grew up learning how to best care for them. Very trustworthy, kind, loyal, and loving! I’ve had dogs through all the stages - puppy through senior care. (currently in film graduate school, so my availability reflects mainly weekends. BUT - I am willing to make weekday hours work as well, so please feel free to still reach out to talk about that!) I’m currently a graduate student - but i’m willing to make my schedule work to accommodate your needs! Whatever you need, i’m here to make it work for you, guaranteed! I’m great at following rules and instructions. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll be able to give them guaranteed. I’ve had experience with many breeds also!

About: I have over 6 years of experience as a veterinary technician and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have experience administering medications (oral, topical and injectable), recognizing early signs of illness and maintaining structured, low stress routines. I do best with dogs that are comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time and thrive on consistency. I take a calm, patient approach and tailor care to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s relaxed companionship, routine potty breaks or extra attention for seniors. My goal is to provide reliable, stress free care while keeping your dog safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I have a flexible schedule and structure my day around pet care visits, drop-ins and overnight stays. I’m able to provide consistent morning and evening care, along with mid-day visits when needed. For house sitting, I provide overnight care and routine check-ins throughout the day, while maintaining a realistic schedule outside of the home. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine to reduce stress while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining a calm, clean and secure environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications and household routines. With my background as a veterinary technician, I’m trained to recognize early signs of illness or stress and respond appropriately. I take a low stress, patient approach and respect each pet’s comfort level, especially with shy or sensitive animals. I’m reliable, detail-oriented and treat every home and pet with the same level of care and respect I would expect for my own.

About: As an aspiring vet, it is my duty to ensure the health and welfare of any animal in my care. I make sure to carefully observe and notate any abnormalities while pet sitting to make sure any issues are caught early on Currently working part-time as a veterinary assistant, on my journey to come a veterinarian, pet care is my everyday life and has been for the past 5 years. I have easy access to a large dog park, and open fields so plenty of outside time is used. My home is also very spacious, plenty of roaming around space with a fenced deck for sunbathing as well

About: I’ve been a dog and cat groomer for 4 years. I grew up on a farm taking care of all the animals from horses, cows, pigs, chickens , dogs , cats , turkeys etc. I’m very patient with animals who take more time to get to know new people who come into their lives and I love my senior animals who take a little longer on our walks :) I just moved to Florida from Arizona. This will be my full time job for now until I am able to save up to start my own mobile dog and cat business and hopefully be able to provide grooming services to all my lovely clients I am very reliable and flexible. I have always been the neighborhood help for pet care when my neighbors went on vacation. I’ve helped with feeding their farm animal and their indoor animals . I always follow the instructions giving to me and I always show up on time !

“Isaac was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! Super caring, attentive, and really took the time to understand our dog’s needs. He spent the whole weekend playing with him and making sure he was happy and comfortable. On top of that, he surprised us with a beautiful sketch of our dog, which was such a thoughtful touch. We came home to a very happy pup and couldn’t recommend him more!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats all my life. I started training service dogs in high school and have raised multiple Parkinson’s relief dogs. I typically work 7am-3pm but mostly from home. I am also a college student during the school year. I am really active so I love to run and play outside with dogs when I am watching them. I live in a huge pet friendly apartment. I watch all types of dogs so I have totally hazard proofed everything and there is no safety concerns.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important pets are to families. I’m patient, caring, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I can help with walks, feeding, playtime, baths, and keeping up with routines. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m very flexible and able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals, going on walks, playing, and making sure they stay comfortable and happy. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can work around different pet routines and needs. I have experience caring for my own dog, so I understand how important safety and comfort are for pets. I make sure animals always have fresh water, attention, potty breaks, and a clean space to relax. I’m patient with shy or energetic dogs and always treat pets like family while they’re in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was about 10 years old. Throughout the years I have cared for my neighbors and family friends pets along side my own pups. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. I plan my days so that walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins are done consistently and on schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and exercise so their pet experiences as little disruption as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can relax, play, and receive lots of attention. I make sure they have a comfortable place to rest, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to the pet’s usual routine, provide walks and playtime, keep food and water fresh, and make sure the home stays tidy. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free while their owners are gone.

“Josalyn was wonderful and had our fur baby for 8 days while my husband and I went on our honeymoon. She communicates daily and sent pictures so that we knew our boy was happy and being loved on! We certainly plan on booking Josalyn again for her services and love for pets!”

About: Been around dogs, cats, gerbils, and birds throughout my life. All pets are considered family. They need love, respect, and guidance, too. I have walked dogs, groomed cats, cleaned out kennels, cages, and cat boxes, and play is important even for older pets. Most of my days have availability for pet care. A good time for care could be early morning, mid day, or late afternoon/evening just keep communication clear and timely. I have two cats who require biscuit making cuddles and play everyday. I groom their fur and shorten their nails as needed. Feeding for them is twice a day and their play incorporates exercise.
