House Sitting in Shieldsville

“Katie was fantastic! She replied within 30 minutes, and this was at 2:00 A.M! I was in a last-minute bind, but sure enough, she was at my door 13 hours later. She took great care of my 5-month old pup. I have only had him a month and he is a little skittish. I was running a little late and only had about 10-minutes to run out my door. A half hour later, Katie was sending me photos of my pup laying on his back with submissive paws while his belly was being rubbed, and not too long after, him happily catching zzzzz's. Katie took my pup for a walk and went well-above any of my expectations. I would highly recommend her, implicitly. Thanks Katie! See ya next time!”

“Katherine was AMAZING! She gave each one of our fur crew individualized attention. She took extra care with our 13 1/2 year old Leonberger. She did great at giving him his medicine and helping him move around. She asked very detailed and thoughtful questions and sent the best pictures. She has great instincts. Without a doubt I'd hire her again!”

About: I have grown up my whole life around animals. When I was younger, I had smaller animals like hamsters and rats. In high school, my dad did get an English bulldog and he was my best friend! When we first brought him home, I took him to training and I loved every second of it! I would watch him almost every weekend for my parents. My sister also had a dog, her and I worked opposite schedules so I would take care of him during the day. I also took him through training as a puppy. So if you have a puppy and want them to learn a thing or two I can help! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats with my boyfriend. So I really understand how much your fur baby’s mean to you as I have some at home! I am working part time and looking for something to do with my other time! I’m available all day Wednesdays, Fridays after 2pm and just about every weekend! Something that I live by is treating others animals like your own! I am also very big on respect. Letting me into your home to take care of your fur baby’s means a lot to me. I love to just hang out with furry friends or go play outside, which ever you need from me I will do! I really would like to make sure you and your animals can trust me! Whether you have cameras in your home or need a check in hourly, I’m willing to do whatever you need to trust me in your home. Having that trust bond can really make or break a sitter! Besides trust I also value on making sure your animal is safe.

“We booked Levi to watch our pets while we were away for our wedding weekend, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! He went above and beyond — coming to our house twice beforehand so our dogs (and even our cat!) could get comfortable with him. While we were gone, Levi took amazing care of our pets, including handling medications for our dogs with health issues, keeping us updated, and making sure everyone was happy and healthy. We came home to a clean house and happy pets! It gave us so much peace of mind during such an important weekend knowing our pets were in such capable and caring hands. We’ll absolutely be booking Levi again — highly, highly recommend! 🐶🐾”

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet owner who has had dogs my entire life. As an educator, I’m looking for summer work doing something I genuinely enjoy. Taking care of animals is exactly that for me. I’m available throughout the summer with a very flexible schedule, so I can accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, or extended care as needed. I’m very active and love being outdoors, which makes me a great fit for dogs who enjoy walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, energetic play, or just companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their needs and personality. I look forward to meeting you and your pets. As mentioned in my description, I'm an educator so my availability is currently super flexible throughout the summer. You let me know what you need and I'm likely available to make it happen. I know how important the safety of pets are to you and your family. With two dogs of my own, I know how much time and thought goes into deciding who you will trust to take care of your canine family members. I assure you that I will do everything I can to provide a loving and caring experience for your pets while you are unable to be with them.

“Julia watched our dogs for a week while we were on our honeymoon, and she was wonderful! She kept us updated on the dogs, and sent us picture and videos. We were anxious to leave them for so long, but Julia 100% calmed our worries with her quick responses whenever we texted her. We will definitely be booking her again 😊”

“Kris was a spectacular sitter. About the time that I thought about missing my pups, she had already send images and videos to let me know they were happy and doing well. She was quick to respond, helpful and great to work with. Would definitely have her back.”
