House Sitting in Skinnerville

“Christie was great! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone and it went really well. We got updates and photos at least once a day and felt real comfortable with everything. She took our dog out for a walk everyday and he was very comfortable hanging out with her. We will definitely be asking Christie to sit our dog again the future.”

About: For future reference; will not be accepting non neutered or spayed cats/dogs unless accompanied by a crate, especially if their not trained please. I do have one myself, so not that you need to have one per se but allow use if necessary! This is partially for Henrys experience too, so please keep that in mind when reading this; its not to be snarky. I have trained two dogs growing up who have above average listening and response times. Positive reinforcement was key to my success, psychology paid off. One was a rescue dog; she was such a sweet heart but it took some time getting her to open up based off her traumatic experiences prior to entering the adoption location she luckily found her way too. Henry on the other hand, was purchased from a breeder, so fortunately for him less baggage, and unfortunately for her given the circumstances. I've done dog sitting/pet care for family dogs when family members would go on vacation for anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. Medication administration is a non issue, as well as grooming is another area I take great pride in doing myself, as it's a good trait to have being a pet owner. Have cared for puppies, adult or senior dogs; we were a dog first family growing up so I've grown to love them more than you can realize just through descriptions; with my active daily lifestyle it allows for the animals to gain as much out of exercise as I do and working from home helps as well. I treat animals as if their my family or children, so they'd receive the same treatment one would expect from a friend baby sitting their children. Seamlessly; he wakes up when I do and is let out accordingly at 4 AM we go for multiple walks a day most notably 430 AM and 530 PM. I work from home so it makes it very manageable to get him outside for bathroom breaks within 2-2.5 hour interval periods. I'd like to think we both operate at a high level through one another. We feed off one another, so when he's upbeat I am too, but when I'm down he has his tricks that ensure a great therapeutic touch. I treat them as if their my children; I speak to them in a way they understand with words or phrases we've practiced or has practiced to ensure optimal success in regards to understanding one another. Henry and I like to play often with his toys or just horsing around with Belly rubs and chasing him around the house. He sleeps with me too, so no furniture is off limits as I usually have blankets or other covers in place to manage hair loss.

“Robynn was great! Our pup was a little sick while we were traveling and she took such good care of her. Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: Je travaille avec les animaux depuis 3 ans déjà dans un hôpital vétérinaire et je garde les animaux des membres de ma famille depuis que je suis toute petite. Je ne fais pas vraiment d’heure à la job plus qu’il faut les derniers temps alors j’ai du temps pour prendre soin des votre. Je retourne au étude cette automne, alors je vais avoir un peu de temps aussi pour en prendre soin vu que je n’est pas une grosse horaire chargée. Je n’es pas d’animaux dans l’appartement pour l’instant, mais je suis présente toute le temps quasiment et il y a des belles endroits proche de chez moi ou emporter votre animal pour se promener et c’est des endroits sécuritaires pour votre animal. J’ai pas de clôture, mais j’ai une grande cours pour que votre animal puisse courir comme bon lui semble. Je suis toujours prête aussi à intervenir en cas d’urgence pour être sur que votre animal soit bien.

“Vanessa was excellent! She took great care in making sure she knew what my pup needed while I was away. Her text and video updates were super appreciated as well and I could tell she was having a good time watching my pup. If you want someone attentive and caring, book Vanessa!”

“I cannot recommend Bethany highly enough! She recently stayed at my home to care for my senior small dog, and she was absolutely amazing. From the start, Bethany was warm, professional, and incredibly caring. She took the time to understand my dog’s needs and routines, and it showed in how comfortable and happy she was in her care. Throughout her stay, Bethany kept in touch just as I had requested—sending thoughtful updates and sweet pictures that truly put my mind at ease. It was clear from every message that she treated my pup with so much love and attention. It’s such a relief to have found someone so reliable and compassionate. I’ll definitely be contacting Bethany again for future dates. Thank you, Bethany, for your caring personality and for taking such wonderful care of little dog!”

“Kayla took such great care of our three pups over a long weekend away! She updated us all the time and was so patient with our crazy crew. I had such comfort knowing she was there and that means everything while we’re away. Thank you Kayla!”

“Dallas was wonderful. My pup was extremely happy. She loves him, and we are excited for him to come back and care for her again soon.”

“Dekoda was very kind and pleasant to work with. She went above and beyond spending time with our animals. Our vacation was much more enjoyable knowing they were well taken care of. Will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: I have lived with animals my entire life! Currently I have a dog and a cat. My dog is a 2.5 year old beagle and my cat is about 5 years old and he's a grey long haired cat. They both get along great (at times) and I love having them in my life. I have had experience with administering medications to dogs and cats, administering insulin to dogs, bottle feeding puppies, taking care of litters of puppies, teaching commands, mentally stimulating both dogs and cats and making sure they are physically stimulated as well. I do it daily with my own but I am a full time student at the moment. I have classes both online and in person but I only go in person a few days a week so I have lots of time to take care of your animals. I do not offer in home but when I am in a clients home I treat it and their animals as if they are my own. I go and do the job that I am there to do without causing any problems.
