House Sitting in Shady Grove

“Huge thank-you to Trina! She cared for my dog during a work trip that turned chaotic when I got delayed coming home. She not only kept everything running smoothly, but did it with such kindness and reliability. (I also forgot to take out the trash before leaving for said work trip and she graciously took care of that for me upon her arrival - thank you again, Trina!) Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”

About: I’ve worked as a vet assistant for the past 5 years. I currently pet sit regularly for 5+ individuals. I’ve grown up with multiple pets of my own, from fish and 10 pound doggies to my two Great Danes and a couple cows! I am currently working as needed so I have a lot of time to take care of your babies! I’m always super flexible and can almost always be there in a pinch! I will always make sure your pets are protected and safe. I will do things the exact way you want them done. Your house will be left as I found it and all happy little accidents will be cleaned up without a trace!

About: I'm an active volunteer with a local animal shelter, where I work hands-on with dogs of many ages, sizes, temperaments, I have experience caring for shy, anxious, high-energy, and sensitive dogs, and I'm comfortable with reading canine body language, building trust, and providing calm, reliable care tailored to each dog's needs. Pet care is part of my regular routine through weekend availability when I'm off work. I plan my schedule around providing attentive, consistent care, including walks, feeding, enrichment and companionship, so each dog receives focused, unhurried attention. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and preferred activities. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious pets, by moving at their pace and reading their body language. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm, attentive interaction, whether that means exercise and playtime or quiet companionship. In a client's home, I respect their space and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.

“Alyssa was amazing with Teddy! She took great care of him and our house while we were gone. This was one of our first times leaving our pup alone with someone for an extended period of time and I could not be more happy we chose Alyssa! She sent us updates and pictures, gave Teddy lots of love and just overall provided us with a sense of comfort and security while we were gone. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone that asked and we will be hiring her again in the future! Thanks Alyssa for taking such good care of Teddy!!”

“Excellent caregiver and provided timely updates. We have two needy dogs of different sizes and she was great with both of them. Would work with again.”

“Brendle was delightful and our 2 dogs had the best time with her. She hung out with them for 5 hours while we went to watch our son’s championship game. Brendle took them on a 2 mile hike, played ball at the park, and they were thoroughly and happily exhausted at the end of her stay. I cannot say enough nice things about Brendle! She is a gem!”

“I can’t recommend Valerie enough! She watched my dog, for 3 days and did an amazing job. Hope can be a little particular with her routine and has some hip issues, but Valerie was so caring and attentive — she followed all my instructions perfectly and made sure Hope was comfortable, happy, and well-loved the whole time. Valerie kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Hope felt safe and cared for, and I really appreciate how responsible and thoughtful Valerie was with every detail, from playtime to feeding to making sure Hope didn’t overdo it on the stairs. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Valerie again — she’s trustworthy, kind, and truly treats your pet like her own. Thank you so much, Valerie, for taking such wonderful care of Hope!”
