House Sitting in Shirley

“It’s hard to find a dog/house sitter who, not only takes great care of our pups, but our house as well. Miguel did us a major solid when we had to reschedule our trip at the last minute. It was obvious from the start, that he genuinely loves and cares for dogs. One of our pups is a little anxious and he doesn’t really like cuddles or affection, but Miguel was able to win his trust super quick (which was something we’ve never seen before). In addition to Miguel being so great with the dogs, he also took really great care of our house. It was exactly how we left it and it was really nice coming back to that after a crazy vacation. I can’t thank and praise this guy enough. We will definitely be booking him again.”

“Josh grew up with dogs and has a deep love for them. He’s very fit and walks his own two huskies together (I wish I could do that). If you want your dogs to get some good exercise, he can do that, but if your dog just needs some leisurely walks, he can do that, too. He’s a fantastic pet parent and would treat your dogs like his own.”

“My cat, Foster, is very needy and any little thing upsets him so I decided to schedule a house sitter rather than drop-in visits. Malika was great, sending pictures and making sure both Foster and I were okay. :-) I will be sure to reach out to her again when I travel!”

“Another wonderful experience! Despite the short notice and overlap over the Christmas holiday, Grace went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and requests (and Hank's!). As usual, she kept me posted of how he was doing, which was also particularly helpful this time so I could help her address some anxiety he was having. She also cared for our finches and toad once again. My pets and home could be in no better hands! Thanks so much for another stress-free trip Grace, so looking forward to the next time!”

“I cannot vouch enough how amazing Hannah was as a house and dog sitter. We have two large rambunctious dogs (German shep and pitbull). She came and met and played with them a week before and was super communicative before, during and even after her stay. We ended up having an emergency where she needed to stay another night so I paid her more plus tip but she was more than happy to help. Thank god her schedule permitted! She sent photos and updates on the dogs and was a wonderful house guest. We HIGHLY recommend her and will be hiring her again in the future without a doubt!!”

About: I am an animal loving heart, Doesn’t matter the breed, age or looks all animals are special to me. They will all be well taken care of. I am currently a full time worker, I work 3pm-11pm most night, I am open to stay the night with animals that need day after day care, Weekends during the week or day works for me. When taking care of animals in other people's homes, I would prioritize their comfort and well-being by following specific instructions provided by the pet owner. I would ensure they have access to fresh water, appropriate food, and a clean living environment. Engaging in regular playtime and exercise would help keep them happy and active, while also providing companionship. I would also monitor their health and behavior closely, watching for any signs of distress or illness, and maintain open communication with the pet owner to keep them updated on their furry friends.

“Abbey did a great job with my two dogs when I went on an overnight trip. She had great communication and sent me some cute pictures of them. I don’t often leave them with someone they don’t know, but Abbey was splendid and I would definitely book her again!”

“Tracy is amazing with my pets—super reliable, caring, and always goes the extra mile. I love getting updates and knowing my pets are in such good hands while I’m away. Highly recommend!”

“Andie really helped us out in a tight bind! She was a fantastic house sitter. House was left in good order, all the animals were happy, and all instructions followed. We hire her again in the future!”

“I own my own dog business and Susan has stepped up and helped me out When I have been on vacation or completely booked. She does an amazing job with all of my clients. She is extremely trustworthy and I feel 100% confident in her care For pets. She is an animal lover and treats each of the clients that I’ve given her like her own pets! I will definitely continue to use her in the future!! I trust her with not only my own personal pets, but also my pet clients Who mean everything to me!”

“maya was seriously amazing and so easy to chat with about the care of my pets.”

“Grace is always so great with our dog Ellie! I don’t have to worry about her knowing she’s in great hands! She always communicates timely and sends great pictures! We use her whenever we go out of town!”

“Her service to our pets was exceptional. After she starts I felt worry free leaving my home and pets in her care. 5 stars!”

“We have used Zoe multiple times and can’t recommend her enough! Our dogs love her. She keeps us updated throughout the day and takes great care of our pups.”

About: I am a huge dog lover! Any breed and size I love them all. I have been a dog sitter/ walker for the past 3 years but also grew up around dogs all my life. I really am wanting to start my own dog sitting business! I thought a lot about the fact that I am a dog parent and would much rather know my baby is in good hands while I am gone rather than boarded up at a vet. I live with my finance and he is also great with pets! I love the idea of helping people know they fur babies are safe and sound and having fun while they are away from home. I help do marketing/ promotional jobs a few days a week but besides that I am home more often then not. I currently work part time and am home besides that so I am available majority of the day and can work around a more needed time frame. I have a friendly older English bulldog who loves playing with new dog friends. He doesn’t always come with me and doesn’t have to if I have any in home stays where the animals don’t like other dogs in the home.

“Nina Sloan is all about dogs. She owned a pet sitting business before there ever was an online service. She worked at a kennel where dogs were all in the same ‘play room’ instead of in individual kennels. She is reliable and dependable; willing to go above and beyond when necessary. She will love your dog!!”

“Iris did a wonderful job watching Lola! Lots of photos and video updates which helped me cope with being away ‘cause I knew she was in good hands.”

About: *I will sit intact animals. Rover won’t let me turn that preference off* I have owned dogs my whole life and a passion for animals has always been an integral personality trait. I’ve been a volunteer at The Animal Protection League in Anderson for nearly a year and enjoy it dearly. I offer entry level puppy and adult dog training, walking, hiking, running, or cuddling (if your dog is more that speed). I currently have three senior dogs and understand senior pet needs. I’m currently a student with no other jobs, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I will update with my current class schedule soon. From volunteering at the shelter, I have been around many different types of dogs and know how to read their body language. Respecting space goes a long way with dogs. Depending on your house rules, I will find ways to adequately care for your dog and can even drive them to the park for walks if you would like!

“Just got home dogs were glad to see us house was clean it was just like we left for a few hours. I would recommend Haley most definitely she's a responsible and caring individual. I totally recommend Haley for any future need .”

“Samantha took great care of my dog and cat while we were away. Getting pictures and updates really set me at ease.”
