House Sitting Shawnee

About: Hello there! I’ve worked almost 4 years at a local animal rescue and have tons of experience caring for many different dogs (and cats) with varying ages, temperaments, personalities, and needs. I love them all! And almost always, they end up loving me! For 2 yrs I’ve been apart of a professional animal behavioral team that works with a certified trainer and behavioralist assessing some of our rescue’s more misunderstood dogs. Having a vet clinic at our rescue, I have plenty of experience medicating both dogs and cats. And caring for animals with special needs. I understand that our pets are our family and I treat every animal with total unconditional love and respect. I’ve had my dog for 8 yrs and she’s my everything.

“Katielee was a fantastic dog sitter. She accepted the sitting opportunity even though it was only a couple days away. She took great care of our animals and our home. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”

About: Hi, I'm Julia! Caring for and connecting with animals is a life passion and purpose of mine. I crave animal companionship but don’t have any pets of my own, so I’d love to care for yours. I adore and am confident caring for all kinds of creatures…and they love me, too! I have tons of experience with big dogs, puppies, anxious dogs, disabled animals, and all types of cat personalities. Even goats, horses, cows, rabbits, reptiles, and rodents all become my friends! I’m an outdoorswoman and would love to take your doggo on hikes, long walks, or to the beach. Got an athletic pup who needs a good run during the day? I've got you! A small pup who just needs cuddles and company? I'm game! I can't wait to meet and care for your beloved fur friends. My schedule is very flexible. I’m frequently outside hiking and running, and would love bring your dog along, or I’m happy to hang in the backyard…or on the couch! I can care for your animals however they need to be tended to. I usually to keep a new animal friends within eyesight at all times, unless they are napping.

“Jess did such an amazing job looking after my sweet dog. She is a rescue and I haven’t been away from her very much since she came into my life, and this was my first time working with Jess. Needless to say I had some nerves associated with leaving her like that. I could not be happier with the care and attention that Jess provided. I will definitely work with Jess again and I highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: Comfortable and experienced with administering medication and caring for pets with anxiety, medical conditions, disabilities, and special needs. Rest assured instructions for care will be followed exactly. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I provide attentive, consistent pet sitting with plenty of companionship, structure, and love, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as part of my daily routine. Living in an apartment surrounded by parks, pets enjoy plenty of daily walks, outdoor time, and are always welcome to come along whenever I leave home.

About: Since being on my own, I have had some fur baby in my life. Both puppies and elders will be well loved here. We have a deep relationship with our own animals. All are fully vaccinated and attend their annual health checks. We also love on them when they ask us to, meeting their mental health needs as well. Husband is still working from home with no return to the office in sight. And we are a currently a multi-generational home. There will always be some human here to care for your furry family member. We have a huge, secure, fenced backyard and two dogs of our own. Your pup will be well exercised here and will come home exhausted (and maybe a little dirty). We also love cuddling with our fur babies, and will welcome any (reasonably sized) dogs onto our bed if that is where they feel comfortable, or we have room for a crate or any dog bed you want to bring. We feed our pooches 3x a day. But we find that most guests have a 2x per day routine, and will continue to hold your home routine. We also give oral medication to one of our pups, once a day.

About: What sets me apart is my combination of lifelong hands-on experience and professional knowledge of animal care. I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have always shared my home with cats. Growing up, my family bred our dog, and I helped raise and potty train the puppies before they went to their forever homes. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement from an early age. Today, I’m a high school Animal Science teacher, where I teach students about animal health, behavior, welfare, and responsible care. I enjoy working with dogs of all ages, especially reinforcing good manners and basic training. Friends and family often ask me for help with training their dogs, and I love helping build confidence through positive reinforcement. I’m also experienced administering medications and following detailed care instructions, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with special medical or daily care needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an adult dog who loves adventure, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a calm companion, I’ll provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. Since I’m a teacher on summer break I have lots of weekday availability right now. I have very flexible availability, if you don’t see the time/days you need on my schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I have a fenced in yard and an XL wire kennel in a calm area your furry friend is welcome to use. My dog, Lady, is very sweet and gets along really well with other dogs (even her grumpy old cousin). She loves playing with others, but I can keep her separated as needed. My cat, Mister, he is okay with other dogs coming over and just hangs out in his own space until he can trust the new doggo. I will treat your pet with the love and care I give to mine. I will follow any rules, commands, and training practices that you use with your pet. I use force-free, reward-based training to build clear communication, trust, and reliable everyday behavior. I have experience with gentle leaders, no-pull harnesses, and structured collar systems when appropriate for safety and handling. I can help with: * Loose-leash walking & pulling * Leash reactivity / frustration * Basic obedience (sit, down, stay, recall) * Recall in distracting environments * Impulse control & leash manners My approach is tailored to each dog’s temperament and focuses on real-world success and consistency between sessions. I also make sure to review each pet’s profile so owners don’t have to repeat information. For severe aggression or complex behavioral cases, I’ll communicate honestly if a certified behaviorist may be a better fit.

About: Hi there! My name is Ariana , and I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I’ve always had pets growing up, and currently, I have one sweet female dog named Pepper, who I’ve raised since she was just 8 weeks old. Caring for animals is second nature to me—whether it’s going for long walks, giving belly rubs, or making sure they’re comfortable and safe while you’re away. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members, and I’m here to offer peace of mind and loving, dependable care. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, or overnight companionship, I’m happy to help! ⸻ Let me know if you’d like to include anything else—like your availability, the size of dogs you’re comfortable with, or any pet-related experience (medication, senior dogs, etc.). I am available 7 days a week, drop ins available, drop off times after 11am. If you neee a reliable pet sitter I am your gal!! I currently have a fenced yard I take my pups to play at dog parks or walks. I promise to keep your furry friends safe and have fun, go to the bathroom often & play and get good rest. .

About: I've had multiple dogs for over 15 years, including Border Collies, Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Australian Cattle Dogs, Labs, Australian Shepherds, and Pit Bulls. For over 6 years, I've dog-sat for friends and family while caring for my own dogs. I've walked, fed, bathed, and played with dogs. I love dogs and want to provide peace of mind for those needing help and support watching their fur babies. I work an 8-5 but I’m happy to swing by and take pets out in the mornings, afternoons or evenings I’m also available to board/house sit on some weekends as well. I have an unfenced yard and take my dog on a walks daily as well as routine potty breaks. Josie and I also go to dog parks or do puppy play dates with other dogs on a weekly basis.

About: My love for animals started when I was a little girl. Animals have always been my go to for happiness comfort and love. Meeting new animals always brings me joy. I understand the trust and responsibility that comes with taking care of someone's fur babies. I'm an open book I'm currently going to school online so I have a completely flexible schedule and can't wait for this new venture in my life I prefer not to care for animals in my own home. I have an older relative that's very particular about his house and doesn't allow pets

“Ella is great with my pup! She responds quickly and has agreed even at the last minute to help watch her. She sends lots of photos and keeps her engaged throughout the stay. Will continue to book with her :))”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for a long time! I’ve taken care of small dogs, BIG dogs, moody cats, and dogs with medical care needs. I’m currently enrolled at UW for graduate school (go Huskies!) My program is classified as a “professional” program so most of my courses will take place in the evenings. I’m free during the day to help out with your pet needs! My cats are royalty at home. They both drink out of a water fountain, have a chip activated feeder, and eat food that is, frankly, bankrupting me. I only want the best for my fur-babies and I will treat your pets as if they were my own.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 10 years, providing consistent, attentive care for dogs of different sizes and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering oral medications, light grooming such as brushing, and, most importantly, giving plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra exercise, gentle care, or simply companionship. I am currently working 5 days a week, and will be available on my days off. I miss dog sitting/dog walking as a hobby and would love to start doing it again. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at my house, so I prefer to take care of the pets at the owners home. I would care for them by playing, taking them outside as needed, staying on a feeding schedule and possibly bathing if the owners request !

“Jakob is great with our dogs and respectful of our home.”

About: As a pet owner myself i know how stressful leaving my fur babys in the hands of someone else can be. My job is to make this process as stress free as possible with giving your pets them same loving care i would give mine and making them as comfortable in my home as possible. And making you as comfortable as with leaving them in my home under my care as possible. Or if you would rather them not leave home ,daily visits to your home. In addition to meals, exercise, playtime, and cleaning litter boxes or cages, I can also administer medications, walk dogs, and perform other pet-care duties As well as providing vital home-care services while you are away, including mail or newspaper pick up, placing trash outside for pickup or rotating the lights and opening or closing the blinds to make your house look lived in. Most importantly bringing you peace of mind. My deep love for animals drives my desire to care for all pets and I use that passion to provide the best possible customer service for my clients. I make sure I understand their needs completely before any session and can keep them up to date on our activities throughout the day. I have experience with lizards, turtles, hamsters, you name it I’ve loved and cared for them and I would love the opportunity to do the same for your furbabies ..thank you. Im available pretty much whenever. I have a vehicle and I do night school at my local college so ill be ready any time of the day to help you. I have a fenced in yard. Unfortunately I no longer have a fur baby of my own but that leaves me plenty of time to focus and care for yours.

“Gabriel and Nikki were great! They gave Khya tons of exercise and left our house in excellent shape. They are very quick to respond and sent lots of photos.”
