House Sitting Silk Hope

About: I have been around and owned dogs most of my life. I have owned small dogs (chihuahua, yorkiepoo) as well as bigger dogs (boxers, goldendoodle). I work full time though on the weekends I have plenty of time to feed, potty and play with your babies. Of course they would get spoiled . I have 3 fenced in areas in my back yard. One of the areas has 3 of my dogs. One of the fence areas is connected to the back porch when my Boxer and his pit mix sister potty and play. The other fence area is not being used by any dogs now. I have plenty of room for your pupper and can use a create if you prefer.

“Chevaughn did an amazing job! One of my dogs (Toffee) is 'very' skittish & does not warm up to new people well (it often takes weeks - sometimes months - for people just to be able to pet her). However, when we did the first meet & greet, Toffee was curious & got close enough to sniff him, which I thought was a great sign. But then... Chevaughn was actually able to pet her before leaving. She was wary, but let him. It kinda shocked me a bit. We had met with 2 other potential sitters & Toffee wouldn't get near them. With one of them, she wouldn't even come inside the house from the yard, not even for a treat, so long as the lady was there. Chevaughn has great energy, though. He was calm & assertive, moved gently around Carlee & Toffee, and they both became fast friends with him. While we were away, he even sent video of her licking his hand. That was a huge deal... Chevaughn was reliable, on time, consistent & most importantly, he is kind. Next time we need a sitter, he's our guy and I highly recommend him for taking care of your pups..”

“Alyssa is so so so special!! She took care of my pups while I was traveling for work and it was a great experience for me and for them! She communicates very well and kept me updated about them, took great care of the house and when I came back, I could see how relax and happy my pups were, which means the world to me!”

“Savanna stayed in our house for 10 days and took excellent care of Gemma! She followed our instructions perfectly and made sure that Gemma got all of the walks, care, and attention that she needed. We would definitely use her again and appreciate how well she looked after our furry baby!”

Potty breaks as many as needed. Taking them to dog parks and walks. Have fun with snuggles and treats. Enjoy their stay as much as possible! Will keep them clean and their areas clean at my house.

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience taking care of many different ages of cats and dogs. I have taken care of horses for several years and even have experience taking care of rabbits. I also fostered dogs from my local shelter which gave me experience with a wide range of behavioral concerns in dogs. When I come to take care of your pet, I would love to learn how to best care for them. Whether that is relaxing on the couch or running outside with them, I can adapt to your pet's individual care needs. I currently work from home which allows me to have a large range of availability. I am available for multi day house sitting or dog walking. I am very flexible to what is needed for your pet. I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings! Unfortunately, I cannot board because I am not able to board pets at my apartment. But I would love to take care of your critters at your own home. When at your home, I would love to take care of your critters in the best way possible for their needs and wants. We can chill out at home, go to the dog park, walk around the yard, or anything else your dog likes and makes them the most comfortable while you are away!

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, and over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me with the special care of their beloved pets. For over a year, I worked in a lab-like setting providing daily care to a wide variety of exotic animals, including reptiles, amphibians, small mammals and birds. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, and general husbandry for each species. I also have experience caring for senior animals, including administering medication and performing nail trims, so I'm comfortable with pets who need a little extra attention and care. I currently work part-time and am finishing up my Associate's degree, which gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week to care for your fur babies. On days I work an 8-hour shift, there may be a slightly longer gap between potty breaks, but I always plan ahead and communicate clearly so you know exactly what to expect. Providing consistent, quality care for your animals is a top priority for me, no matter my schedule. When I care for your pets in their own environment, I bring nothing but comfort and love. I give excellent cuddles and scritches, and genuinely enjoy enriching their day with play. I know when to be calm and reassuring, and when to be playful and energetic, adapting to match each pet's unique personality. Every animal I care for receives quality, individualized attention tailored to exactly what they need. Above all, you can count on me to be reliable and consistent, every single time.

“Linda was awesome, our dogs loved her and she was always on time and took great care of our dogs. We would definitely like to use her on any of our future trips!”

“Mara was fabulous with Wags. She paid close attention to what he needed and how he was doing. Communication with her was easy from booking through the visit. Will definitely use her again.”

Anne O.

“Meredith was great taking care of my dog over Thanksgiving. She was communicative and I appreciate all the love she gave him while we were gone for the holiday!”

Zoe B.

“We appreciate Kelly because he was flexible and understanding of our circumstances. We have 2 Beagles and my parents have a terrier and shitzu. It was a handful, but Kelly was willing to come and stay at our house to keep our dogs in their own environment, and take on 2 additional dogs that traveled from Florida with my parents. Kelly would send us photos and text message updates every day. He gave us peace of mind. I would highly recommend Kelly. Thank you Kelly.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11 years old. I’ve worked with a variety of dogs, cats, guinea pigs and bearded dragons. I'm currently in grad school so I work during the day. Weekends work best but I can also do weekdays; just ask! I'm happy to discuss scheduling with you. I do not care for pets in my home, but for my clients' homes, I make sure that the house is in perfect order when my client returns.

About: Hey hey! I love all animals but I'm partial to dogs. I have 2 of my own, both chihuahuas. They're 6 and 7 years old. I've had pets all my life. Large and small. I have quite a bit of experience in training and I love working on puppy manners. I have a soft spot for small dogs and pit bulls! I can't wait to meet your babies! I currently am home full time. I am a hobby bakery. I need to get moving around more so I'm available to meet up to 2-3 times per day every day and weekly if needed. I don't usually care for other people's pets in my home. I prefer to do drop in visits and sit in the home of the owners.

“Noa took great care of my dog while I was away for the week! She was so easy to communicate with. My dog was comfortable with her right away and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was in great hands :) I would definitely book again!”

Sydney F.

“Lauren was amazing. Our dog can be anxious around new people, but she felt comfortable with Lauren right away, which honestly gave us so much peace of mind. She sent thoughtful updates throughout the stay and it was clear Dee was happy and well cared for. She also left our house in great condition. We will absolutely use her again next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, young and old, since 2019. I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s parented guinea pigs and parakeets as well. I pride myself on creating enriching experiences for the animals I sit through play and exercise. I’m a freelancer by trade and work for myself so I have open availability during both weekdays and weekends with limited notice needed to make myself available. I ask that pet owners provide any necessary supplies as I do not have them at home. I do live in a newer apartment complex with a fenced in playground for dogs to run around and lots of sidewalk space for walks.

About: I have experience training my crazy puppy into a certified therapy dog. I will be as strict or relaxed as you want me to be with your dogs. I know that having their normal schedule and structure is important along with lots of love. I will have plenty of time to work with your dogs. I love taking dogs on walks or lounging on the couch with them. I can be present for your dogs! I will insure they have plenty of time to exercise. I can walk them with my therapy dog or have them play if you are comfortable with this. I love taking dogs on walks. I love going to the park too. My home is safe for dogs and I will respect your house and make sure the dog has a good time when you are away.

About: My approach to pet care prioritizes keeping your animals nervous system regulated while changes happen to their daily life. You will receive thorough updates and assured peace of mind that your fur babies are in good hands! I own my own business so the time set aside for animal care is blocked off completely. Your animals will receive my undivided attention and you can rest assured that they are my top priority! Caring for animals in their home environment means allowing them to reduce the stress of changing environments. Let me come to you and your pets will thank you for it!

About: I have been the go to in my family for watching animals. Everyone has different ways they live and our animals find comfort in routine. I have always done my best to meet them where they are and ensure their animals feel as comfortable as possible while the parents are away. I currently work full-time, so my availability is a bit thin. Overall I work approximately 10hrs a day. Which means I am only available early mornings and late evenings on work days. I have my own pets but my husband takes care of their needs while I'm not around. We aren't in a position to watch pets in our own home but outside of the time I need to work I am very flexible with my time. I do not offer boarding services. However, when taking care of another's pet before the service date(s) I gather as much info as I can. What is their routine? how much energy does your pet have? Etc. And I will do my best to accommodate. I try to take my own dogg out about every 2-4hrs and give her lots of love and attention. If yous animal has different needs from meds to high attention or even more frequent potty breaks I can work with those factors.

“My animals love Ali! We came back from a four day trip to find healthy, happy animals, with clean litterboxes and a well-maintained home. Thank you!”
