What an AMAZING house/dog sitter❣️ Annabelle went above & beyond expectations...from taking care of unexpected floral shipments that came in, to preparing the storm shelter due to possible tornados for the worst outcome & herding the 4 fur-babies in there with herself to spend the night. She kept such great communication with me while I was overseas & eased my mind with daily updates/pics. I came home to a spotless house; she even did the bed linens/bath towels, took out the trash...AMAZING doesn't begin to describe her❤️. If you don't hire her to watch your house/pets, you are missing out...but just remember, I get first dibs ❣️

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid. Whether it be training and riding horses, feeding chickens, to raising puppies and kittens! My love for animals is my drive! I have experience with taking care of my past precious dog Mia, who had diabetes, and giving her insulin shots nightly. So if your fur baby has any specific needs or accommodations needed, just let me know and I’ll try my best to accommodate! I currently have a pretty flexible schedule, so unless I am out of town, or just not available, I can house sit, walk, and just overall provide for your bestfriend in the best ways!! I don’t believe in a punitive approach, but more of trying to help my pets to understand what Is necessary. Wether it be potty training, to manners with guest. My dog’s happiness and comfort is my top priority, and to me, your dog’s happiness and comfort is just as important

About: I have two years of experience in doggy daycare for facilities. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, age breeds, personalities. I know how to administer medication and also I know how to administer insulin to a dog. We had a diabetic dog that was a regular. I love working with animals. It’s very rewarding job for me. I have experience with doing in-home housesitting and dropping visits and walking, we did that at one of the facilities I worked at. I treat every animal like my own. I’m a waitress. I have a very flexible schedule and can work between anything really. I’m able to work around days and times whatever it may be. I would care for your animals just as if I were you and doeverything based on your instructions. I treat all animals like my own.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and even the occasional chicken. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how much our animals mean to us. I treat every pet I care for like part of the family, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a daily walk or a weekend stay, you can count on me to keep your furry (or feathered!) friend safe, happy, and loved. I’m available for midday walks, check-ins, and evening visits. I also offer overnight house sitting if you're looking for someone to keep your pets company overnight. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I respect each pet’s personality and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m doing overnight care, I maintain a calm and cozy environment, making sure your pet gets attention, companionship, and consistency while you’re away.

Amazing! I have never been happier with an in-home sitter. Great with my Dexter! I almost thought he was going to leave with her instead of staying at home. The stay ended up being longer than planned and a Belgian puppy was added to the mix. She had no issues with either modification to booking. Great with both dogs. Very responsive with communication and respectful of personal boundaries. Highly recommend and will be using again!

Our fur babies loved Jonatan! He regularly kept us updated on pets and house. We were sent pictures and felt entirely comfortable everything was going great. He even made friends with our tempermantal calico- who doesn't like anyone other than my husband and I. Would definitely use again- already have booked for a second stay.

About: I love animals, and have cared for all types of pets all my life. I will love your pets and give them the greatest of care, as if they are my own. I work from home and have a very open schedule. I also have a car and a strong work ethic so when I make a commitment to be somewhere, I am there. I prefer to come to the clients home because I know the animal will be happier in its home environment. I like to give lots of pets, love and attention. I clean up any accidents, make sure water and food bowls are in good shape and provide whatever service the Pet Parent has requested. I try to leave with the pet looking forward to its next visit from me.

Lisa is WONDERFUL, she just loves on my animals as if they were her own. One way I know my babies are in good hands is by their reactions to a sitter. My fur babies LOVE Lisa and just love on her every time she visits! They love seeing her come through the door and want her constant attention. I give Lisa 5+ stars!
