House Sitting in Sikes

“The critters loved Chelsea and she spoiled them as much as we do. They had nice walks and great care. Even fed the outside birds (squirrels) for us. Good time was had by all.”

About: I love all animals and I have a very flexible schedule at the moment because I am full time studying for my board exams! I have been dog sitting my whole life, and it’s something that I absolutely love to do! I am here in Auburn for medical school and am originally from Orlando, FL. I am currently studying full time for my board exams for medical school so I am home all day! I can stay home with your pets throughout the day and take them for walks at any time! Since I have roommates, I will not be able to care for your pets in my home but safety is my number one priority in your home! I am very detailed oriented and attentive, so your pets will not get into any trouble on my watch!!

About: I’ve always loved animals and originally wanted to become a veterinarian growing up. Now, as a pre-nursing student at AU, I still love having the opportunity to care for others — especially animals. I grew up with a childhood dog that I was completely inseparable from. Even when I was little, I helped feed her, walk her, play with her, and even helped with training. Those experiences are a huge part of why I love pet care so much today. My family now has two dogs that we got while I was in high school, and I love visiting them every chance I get. I’m definitely the type of person who immediately gravitates toward the dog at any social gathering. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors since I was around 10 years old, and even more frequently once I started driving at 16. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means going on runs with high-energy dogs or taking slower walks and giving extra comfort and attention to more relaxed pets. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and so loved while their owners are away. I also worked on a ranch last summer where I cared for dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, chickens, and ducks, which gave me even more hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. Although I didn’t grow up with cats, I’ve done plenty of cat sitting over the years and absolutely love them as well. I know every cat is different, and I’m always patient and attentive to their routines and comfort level. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work a 9–5 job during the week, but I have an hour lunch break that gives me flexibility for walks, check-ins, or midday care. I also usually go on a run in the mornings and take walks after work or after dinner, so I’m very used to staying active and would love bringing a dog along if they enjoy extra exercise. On weekends, I’m available all day and have a much more flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight care. I live in a two-level apartment/townhouse with plenty of space for pets to be comfortable and move around. There’s grass right outside for easy bathroom breaks and walks, plus a balcony and a dog park within my apartment complex for extra exercise and playtime. I keep a clean, safe, and calm environment and always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routines as much as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the home and the pet’s routine. I know consistency is important for animals, so I always try to keep them comfortable by following feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions closely.

About: I’m a responsive, responsible, 30 year old mom that is happy to watch your furry friends! I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. This job allows me to stay home with my children and not impulse buy a dog 😂 I’d be honored to have the opportunity to watch your pet for you or lend a helping hand on a busy day! I have assisted in caring for many kinds of dogs and cats since I was young. I’ve had and cared for everything from elderly micro Yorkies to large, wild Great Dane puppies! I have owned dogs and cats my entire life, as well as some smaller friends like mice, rats, snakes and hamsters. I will always do my best to make sure your pet is happy and healthy, as well as providing you with plenty of cute photos/videos of them during our time together! I am at home full time with plenty of time to shower your furry friend with love, attention and care! We will have the best time. We have a back patio for them to relax and get fresh air and sunshine and plenty of green space to go walking! I’m also happy to accommodate to your pet’s usual routine.

About: With over 10 years of experience in dog sitting and house sitting, I have cared for just about every breed, size, and age of dog and cat. I am comfortable with special needs pets and administering medications, always making sure each animal receives attentive, loving, and reliable care. I take pride in creating a calm, safe environment so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first with me. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m available for early mornings, late nights, and everything in between. I make sure pets get consistent attention and care, and I’m always happy to follow whatever schedule works best for them. I treat every home as a place of value and trust, caring for it with respect and attention as I carry out my work. I aim to leave each space exactly as I found it, while keeping pets safe and comfortable at all times.

“Emma was put in an unusual situation with us moving immediate after our vacation, so she had very little comforts as everything was packed. She was able to get molly to warm up to her pretty quickly which is unusual. She also helped out with our house showings. It was a great comfort knowing she was in our home taking care of our baby”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive veterinary background and hands-on experience. I’ve worked in the veterinary field for over 8 years, including experience as both a small animal and equine veterinary technician. This gives me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety, as well as the ability to recognize early signs of illness or distress. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs, including administering medications and following detailed care instructions. My veterinary experience allows me to provide a higher level of care, peace of mind, and professionalism, ensuring pets are not only loved but also closely monitored for their overall well-being. Pet care fits into my routine in a structured and manageable way. I work a weekly job, but I’m able to plan my schedule so I can consistently meet all pet care needs. On a daily basis, I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I adjust my routine as needed to ensure pets receive proper attention and care. Weekly tasks like cleaning, extended exercise, and any special care are also built into my schedule. Overall, pet care fits smoothly into my routine and is something I prioritize alongside my work responsibilities. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s specific needs, whether in my home or in a client’s home. Care includes feeding according to instructions, refreshing water, administering basic medications if needed, and maintaining a clean and safe environment. I ensure pets get appropriate exercise, walks, playtime, and mental stimulation, while also giving them affection and companionship. In a client’s home, I respect their routine and home rules, provide updates as requested, and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while their owners are away.

“I appreciate the stress free care and attention given to Duke.”

About: I have always loved animals. I started walking my neighbors dog when I was 15. I have dog sat for many ranging from family, friends, neighbors, and mutuals. I am a recent Auburn grad and do not currently have a full time job. Not many jobs offer me a flexible schedule like this does and I am trying to save money and keep my self busy post-grad. I am always available unless otherwise noted on my calendar. I do not have a dog in Auburn, only when I travel to Foley to stay with family is there a dog in the house. I will abide by the owners preferences but I don’t promise I won’t fall in love with your dog. I love all shapes and sizes of dogs and will take care of them as they are my own. I will give your dog as much attention as he or she wants.

About: Well, I’ve owned several breeds ranging from small to extremely large, and have learned things over the years on how to better care for companions well mornings and evenings would consist of runs and normal workouts. So they’d be played with in terms of walks, jobs and runs, along with Playing in few dog parks in the auburn area Well im pretty active so pets would be under a watchful eyes pretty much all the time aside. They’d have a fresh supply of water and would eat separately to avoid any food aggression one might have

About: I offer 12 years of experience, dependable care, attention to detail, and genuine love for dogs, ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m currently enrolled online at Southern Union and applying to nursing February 1st, which allows me a flexible schedule and reliable availability for pet care. My roommates are animal lovers who are comfortable around pets and help create a calm, welcoming environment. I remain fully responsible for all care, routines, and supervision at all times.

About: Pet sitting 8 years Er vet assistant 1 year Vet assistant 2 years Boarding and kennel assistant 2 years Dog walking 4 years I am also cpr certified and cat friendly certified I work nights and on a rotating schedule so I have more time to dedicate to pet care during the day and on my off days I typically go to the clients home and based on our meet and greet I go off of their preferences and needs for their fur baby

About: I’ve always been around animals and naturally treat pets like family. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading animal behavior, especially with nervous, energetic, or stubborn pets lol. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to keep them comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m dependable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets attention instead of just “checking in and leaving.” I also know how important communication is, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and pictures. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to being active throughout the day and handling responsibilities that require consistency and attention. I can work around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication reminders, and playtime. I understand pets need stability and patience, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they get attention, exercise, and care instead of just being left alone. I also try to stay flexible for last-minute needs when possible. Cats have their own quiet, separate space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed without needing to interact with dogs unless they’re comfortable doing so. I understand cats usually do best with calm environments, patience, and giving them space to adjust at their own pace. 🐱
