House Sitting in Short Place

“Ian was an absolutely amazing animal and house sitter. I give him 10 stars. He was attentive, kind and trust worthy. I felt safe knowing Ian was providing the best care to my dogs and taking care of my home. My puppies loved spending time with Ian and felt comfortable in his care. He was loving and observant to any of our puppies needs. He followed all our directions carefully on how to tend to our dogs and give them their medicine correctly. I will definitely be asking Ian to help me again with my babies, he is the only sitter I will be using from now on. Thank you so much for all you did for my dogs Ian and thank you so much for making sure they felt safe in their home when I was away!”

“We ended up needing to book with Kasidy at the last minute, but found her to be very responsive and a great housesitter for our two dogs! We had been nervous about leaving our dogs while being gone for five days as they are anxious and wary of strangers. But they warmed up to Kasidy quickly due to her calm, relaxed presence and (and ball throwing :). She paid close attention to the instructions left for our dog with Addison’s disease, and texted me with updates on her status. Kasidy is a responsible and reliable pet sitter and we (and our dogs) hope to use her again in the future!”

“This was the longest trip we have taken, and been away from our dogs. Shelly did a great job, and when she had other things she needed to do, she had her daughter help out, which I believe worked out great! The dogs were very happy to see us return, but I feel they were taken very well care of, and we would definitely ask Shelley to come back. Thank you, Shelly!”

“Elizabeth was so kind and thoughtful! She cared for my dog and cats AND watched over my home. ❤️ I came home to flowers at my front door! Elizabeth took my dog on daily walks and sent me pictures of her. She even brought my delivered groceries in for me (which I totally forgot about - thank you Elizabeth)! ❤️🙏 she met with me before the booking to meet my dog and see the home and where things were. I’m so blessed and grateful that she was available and that we met!”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs, fish, and especially cats! I have training from the SPCA on dog walking, cat care, and some skill/behavioral training for both cats and dogs. I have 3 years of fish keeping experience. I currently have my own cat (he’s orange!) and I am fostering a mother and her kitten for the time being. I am willing to help clean around the house as well! I have indoor/outdoor plants and I can take care of your plants while you are away - I have a green thumb :) I’ve helped friends and clients with farm animals, including feeding and cleaning their spaces. If directed I can help with other farm projects. I am looking to take on as many hours as possible! I am currently in college, but only have classes Monday and Wednesday and can work around my school schedule. I am unable to bring pets home due to having my own cat and living in an apartment with a single pet deposit! But I am just fine coming to you! I offer dog walking, some behavioral training while pet sitting/walking, in home pet sitting, and I can do small cleaning projects for a minimal extra charge. I am gentle with the animals and can do grooming such as brushing and can try nail clipping if your pets allow it!

“Melanie was absolutely the best dog and house sitter. My Bailey loved her, and Melanie took such good care of her. This will make my future trips anxiety free. My house was cleaner than I left it when I got home. She is definitely the very best!!”

“This was our second time having Louisa to stay and mind our Irish setter Marnie and little cat Minxie. Louisa is such a great sitter, very communicative and prompt. We would be very happy to book Louisa again!”

About: Hello! I’ve always been an animal lover. I grew up riding horses & as an only child my pets were my best friends. As I’ve grown into an adult, the friends I’ve made usually come with bonus friends (their pets). I’ve had friends/roommates that are pet professionals (groomers/vet techs) & I’ve picked up a lot of knowledge along the way. I’ve been lucky enough to be welcomed into my furry friends homes to care for them as their people are away, feeling comfortable with their sitter. I like to do a meet and greet to get to know your loved one and follow any instructions to the letter. Young to advanced age, trust they will be well cared for as if they were my own. My schedule is currently open, not including any pending appointments. I’m very flexible with reliable transportation and can meet your needs morning afternoon or night. I prefer to care for your pet in their own home where they are most comfortable. They have my full attention when you are away. My husband is loved by every animal he meets and is the best teammate.

“Angie was great! Our dog, Maggie, was well-cared for and all of her ever-flying German Shepherd fur was vacuumed up, as well. Thank you, Angie, for leaving on the lights to welcome us home after our late flight. Merry Christmas!”

About: I have watched dogs since I was young, both at my house and at the owners house. I have watched up to 6 dogs at a time 😅 but prefer to keep it to 2-3 total. I have a dog of my own, a long hair-dachshund, that loves to play with all dogs. I make sure the dogs I watch get to play outside each day as I know how important it is for their health and happiness. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I often watch dogs at my house but can drive to check on dogs if it’s nearby. Most weekends I’m outside either hiking or playing the snow and love to take the dogs with me. I have a fenced yard and a dog door for access to the upper deck. During the day I often take a morning walk and evening walk in my backyard ranging from 30 minutes to an hour depending on my work schedule that day. I have tons of dog toys and treats that keep the dogs occupied.

About: I offer a variety of loving, reliable, and tailored services to meet the needs of you and your pet. Whether they need a quick walk, a cozy place to stay, or some extra care during the day, I’ve got you covered! 1. Dog Walking Services Your pup will enjoy safe, fun, and engaging walks tailored to their energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a leisurely stroll, or a little playtime at the park, I’ll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. 2. Boarding in My Home When you’re away, your pet can enjoy a home away from home! They’ll stay in my safe, cozy, and pet-friendly space, where they’ll get all the love, care, and attention they deserve. 3. Boarding in Your Home If your pet is most comfortable in their own space, I can stay with them in your home. I’ll keep them company, follow their routine, and make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away. 4. Doggie Day Care Perfect for busy days or when your pet needs some extra attention! Your pup will spend the day with me in a safe and stimulating environment, complete with playtime, cuddles, and plenty of fun activities. 5. Drop-In Visits Need someone to check in on your pet during the day? I’ll stop by to make sure they’re fed, let out for potty breaks, and given some love and attention while you’re away. No matter which service you choose, I’m here to treat your pet like family. Their happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities! Let’s create a care plan that works for you—reach out today! Questions I will ask before we book a service: Can we meet beforehand to see if we are a good fit? What’s your dog’s name, age, and breed? What’s their usual routine? (feeding, walks, playtime, bedtime) How is your dog’s temperament? (e.g., friendly, anxious, energetic, shy) Does your dog have any medical conditions or special needs? Are they up-to-date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention? What are their favorite activities or toys? Do they have any triggers or fears? (e.g., loud noises, other animals, strangers) How do they react to other dogs, pets, or people? Are there specific commands or cues I should know? Does your dog have any allergies or dietary restrictions? Do they require medication? If yes, how and when should it be administered? What’s the best way to comfort them if they get anxious? Do they have any behavioral quirks I should be aware of? (e.g., chewing, barking) Who should I contact in case of an emergency? (vet info and alternate contact) Is there anything else I should know to ensure your dog’s happiness and safety? I have 9 Airbnbs and own real estate in TX but currently back in California while running my business from home. I can work from anywhere. I have an extremely flexible schedule. I usually wake up feed the pets, walk and play with the doggies then start my work during the day. I will let the dogs out during the day and then feed and walk in the evenings after I finish working. How I would care for your pets: 1. Feeding: Regular Feeding Schedule: Feed your dog at the same times each day to establish a routine. 2. Exercise: Daily Walks: Ensure your dog gets at least one to two walks per day, tailored to their energy levels. 3. Playtime: Engage in play with toys, fetch, or other activities to keep your dog mentally and physically stimulated. And anything else you would like me to do.

“Katie was really communicative and helpful, especially with us needing to book a few days pretty last minute! Very thankful she was able to watch our pup for us!”

“Josh is the first home & dog sitter we've ever used and he's set the bar incredibly high for anyone we work with in the future! During the booking process, Josh was friendly and quick to respond. He kept us updated on how things were going while we were away, and we came home to happy pups and an immaculately clean home. Thank you so much for your great service Josh! Looking forward to working with you again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of dogs on my own since I got my dog Mr. Buddy who is an Australian Shepard. I raised him from a puppy when I got him in Alaska when I was in the air force. I also watch my sister's dogs all the time, and I've decided to turn my love of dogs into a profession. I've learned a lot about dogs from great people like ceaser milon and the dog father, and many great people I've met along the way on my travels in the military. Your dogs will be well taken care of under my care. I have decided to do this as a full time gig. I want to be my own boss and work better with animals then I do people lol. I have delt with dogs of every age from my grandparents older German Shepard of 14 years old to my dog Mr. Buddy as a young 12 week old pup. I can assure that I will adhere to any safety practices that you want for your fur baby. I also have my 4 year old Aussie, Mr. Buddy, that does great with other dogs and socializing them. I've seen him help mentally troubled dogs many times. Off course I will not bring him if the client doesn't want him there. But once again I care assure that any dog will be safe under my care.
