House Sitting Shady Shores

“This was my first experience with an in-house dog sitter, and I was initially skeptical about having someone stay at my home for an extended period. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Kathleen's excellent service. She kept me updated on the status of my dogs, and they adored her. Additionally, she maintained the house in great condition. I will definitely hire her again when my husband and I go on a long trip. I highly recommend Kathleen for in-home dog sitting.”

“I cannot recommend Janea enough! From the moment we booked, communication was seamless and professional. She kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs absolutely loved her—and it’s clear she truly care for the pets she looks after as if they were their own. She followed all instructions perfectly and even went the extra mile with playtime, offered walks, and cuddles. We came home to a happy, healthy, and well-loved pups! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, caring, and incredibly communicative, Jenae is the one. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

“10/10 Ren took excellent care of the fur babies and left the house uncannily like she found it (maybe cleaner??). She followed instructions to the tee, even going above and beyond for the fish, and sent cute pics while we were on vacation. Everybody was fed and cheerful when we arrived home.”

“Magee-Lee was great! I was updated throughout, including pics. My guys were very well taken care of and I look forward to becoming a repeat customer.”

“Hannah was absolutely wonderful! She watched our three boxers for 10 days while we were away on vacation, and we could not have asked for a better experience. She followed all of our instructions exactly and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for, comfortable, and loved while we were gone. Taking care of three boxers is no small task, but Hannah handled everything with confidence, patience, and care. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups, and we are so grateful for everything she did. We would highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Josh was very respectful of my house and treated my dog with excellent care. She was happy and healthy when I got home and house was clean with shades pulled for the predicted hot day. Even my neighbors commented on how well my dog was being cared for. Cece now has a new buddy as I would definitely call Josh again should I need a sitter.”

About: Hi! My name is Libby, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I attended a technical school for Animal Science, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal care and handling. Growing up, I’ve had a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, fish, hermit crabs, bearded dragons, geckos, and degus. Having experience with so many different animals has taught me that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about providing the best care possible for every animal. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, getting lots of attention, or simply relaxing with a little extra company, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel at home. I know pets are family, and I would treat your furry (or scaly!) friend with the same love, kindness, and care I would give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to offer your pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I can easily fit in regular check-ins, feeding, playtime, walks, and potty breaks while maintaining a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry family members are in loving, reliable hands, and I’ll treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! Since I work from home Monday through Friday, I can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routines, follow feeding and care instructions closely, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I respect your home, keep things clean and secure, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands!

“Jo did a great job with my very demanding wobbly cat. She frequently has accidents peeing over the side of the litter box while attempting to hold herself steady. She will not use the litter box at all unless it has just been scooped. I have trouble myself getting rid of the smells from these accidents, but I came home to a very clean litter box and no accident stains or smells. She was also immediately friendly and not skiddish like she has been when left in the past.”

About: I’ve never not had pets in my life! I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets, young and old, traditional pets and more exotic ones. I don’t mind caring for any type of pet— if it’s your baby, it’ll be mine too for a bit! Currently I have completely open availability! Some weekends I do theatre productions but those weekends are few and far between. I’m also a night owl and am open to care for your pets at all odd hours of the day or night. Routine is key for your pets. As a sitter, it is my responsibility to ensure your babies still follow their routine as if you were still at home. I have experience with more complex routines or routines that involve medication as well!

“Nick did a great job watching my dog! He was also able to accommodate when I needed to extend my sitting. He was super responsive, usually responding within minutes. My place was as clean as I left it and I got regular updates on my dog. Great sitter”

Angela C.

“Suzane was instantly adored by our two dogs. She was accommodating, kind, and eager to help, quickly making friends with them. She treated our home with great respect and left it in perfect condition. Both the dogs and our kitty loved her, and so did we. I felt completely confident during the entire two weeks we were away. We’ll definitely ask for her again.”

About: I grew up in the country, where animals were always a big part of my life. My pets were not just animals—they were my best friends and part of my family. I have over 40 years of experience raising and caring for animals, including rabbits, cats, and dogs. Throughout my life, I have learned that every animal has its own personality, needs, and way of communicating. I understand the importance of providing patience, love, attention, and dependable care. I will treat your pets with the same love and care that I have always given my own animals—as family. A typical day with me is filled with love, attention, playtime, and plenty of cuddles! I start the morning by taking the dogs out for their first potty break, followed by breakfast for everyone. After breakfast, we enjoy some snuggle and playtime before heading out for our morning walk. During my workday, your fur babies will still have plenty of attention and cuddles. I take breaks to let them outside as needed, spend time with them, and make sure they are comfortable and happy. Around lunchtime, we enjoy a light snack, followed by more playtime and another potty break. After work, my full attention is on the pets! We have dinner, followed by playtime and an evening walk. We finish the day with plenty of cuddles and quiet time to relax and rest. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, safe, and like part of the family while they are in my care. 🐾❤️ I provide loving, dependable care for your pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. Whether I am caring for them during the day or staying overnight, I will follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I will make sure they are fed according to your instructions, have fresh water, receive regular potty breaks and walks, and get plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I will take the time to get to know your pet and provide care that makes them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. During overnight stays, I will make sure your pet has companionship and feels secure throughout the night. I will also respect your home and follow any instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you are away by caring for your pets as if they were my own. 🐾❤️
