House Sitting Smartville

About: *Please read through and understand my policies before booking - your pets well-being is what is most important to me! I have taken care of various pets since I was a kid. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, fish, and bearded dragons! I have always been the family/friend go-to for help with animals whether it is walking dogs, house-sitting, ect. I am a huge animal advocate and a Humane Policy Leader Volunteer with the ASPCA. Throughout high school and college, I looked for opportunities to help animals at an individual level (doing some rescue work, rehab work, fundraising, ect.), and it has greatly improved my knowledge about providing care for animals of various needs. I take the health and safety of animals very seriously, and will treat yours as my own. If you book a 24 hour+ period with me as your pet’s only caregiver, I require a minimum of 3 visits daily and will not allow your dog to be alone for more than 12 hours. With cats and other small animals there is flexibility with the amount of drop-ins. I also typically only do last minute bookings for clients I’ve worked with previously because they know my standards and I know their pet’s needs - this helps ensure that the client is comfortable with my care, the pet is comfortable with my care, and I am comfortable providing my services. I am available everyday for pet care and at various times. All scheduling details can be discussed further at a meet and greet to ensure you feel comfortable with the care your pet will be receiving :) I have special experience with diabetic animals, deaf animals, and animals with health/behavior needs. So that I am able to best take care of your pet, please let me know if there is anything I should know about your pet so that I can be prepared to give them the proper care. I would also ask that a meet and greet is set up prior to future visits so that we can ensure your pets comfortability with me while you are away! I will ensure during visits to send pictures of your pet to you and provide a summary of the visit to put your mind at ease, and of course text me on Rover at any point with any concerns or needs. As a fellow animal parent, I understand we experience some separation anxiety from our pets!

“Eliza was great with Ginger. She even followed through with my efforts to help Ginger learn how to use stairs! We also received many photos and updates. I can highly recommend Eliza for her ability to connect with our dog and her easy temperament.”

About: Hello! my names Stephanie and I am 27 years old. I currently live in Parish, NY with my husband and my 2 cats Gregory and Arthur along with my 2 Golden Retrievers named Sophie & Tucker! All my cats are rescues. I’ve always loved animals ever since I was young. If I could save every animal that needed a home I would. I’m a current nursing student doing online school so I am home, They will have someone to play with as the pups love playing catch and going on walks all the time. I have a huge back yard and swimming available if your babies love to swim. The dogs love to play with new friends! They are never left home alone so your babies would never be alone and be accompanied at all times.

About: I’ve always gotten along with animals. I’m very family friendly and love to make bonds with dogs as they truly are a humans best friend! I have been relied on to take dogs on walks since I was 12 years old. I’ve been living with pets in my home since the day I was born! I have also been cat sitting and doing check ins on friends and family-friends animals whenever needed! I currently work full time, making me available at different hours of the day. I work either 6am-2:30pm or 2:30pm-11pm. Please let me know how I can assist you and if your schedule is flexible! I live in a very safe neighborhood and on a long road if you so chose to drop your dog off at my house, we would take a nice walk/jog on this road and be able to interact with other friendly neighbors who are also taking a walk. In the process of becoming pet CPR/First-Aid certified.

“Jessi was fantastic with Gus! He is typically a bit “gruff” when meeting new people and needs a moment to check them out. Jessi and Gus hit it right off! She has a special way with him… We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing that he was in good hands and comfortable with Jessi. We will definitely ask for Jessi again. Also, our home was just as we left it! (Thank you for watering my plants!)”

“Dino was wonderful with our dogs and communication with us. Having never had anyone stay overnight with our dogs, Dino helped put our mind at ease, updating us multiple times through the day with pictures and videos Our dogs had a blast and were very well taken care of. Dino was very polite, punctual and our dogs have a new friend. We will definitely look for Dino for any future visits!”

About: I’m experienced with dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens and ducks, horses and many other fur and feathered friends. Whether you need me to pop in for walks or stay at your place, I’m ready for walks, play, reenforcing training, and giving medications to your beloved pets. I work remote, so I can be available for visits with a flexible schedule or work from your place to ensure your animals get the attention they need. I can visit or stay depending on your pet care needs. If I am staying in your home to care for the pets, I will need wifi/internet access.

About: I have worked with animals all my life from having them growing up to caring for them for other people. I am willing to accommodate any situation! I am currently working part time hours at my job but I have lots of availability and can accommodate pretty much anything! I’d love to get to know your fur babies! My mom and I have a fenced in backyard and a very nice neighborhood for walking if you plan on having your pets stay with me. We are occasionally doing this together since I work part time already she is also very pet friendly. I am very vigilant on making sure they get there play time in and walks.

“Katlynn was so great with our dogs. We added a puppy to our family last minute and she embraced it head on! Our dogs loved her and even watched her leave. I would trust her with my dogs any day of the week! She should be your go-to-gal for this area!”

“So grateful for John! Very understanding of the difficulties I had leaving my Luna for the first time like this - sent me multiple texts, pictures and videos assuring me she was doing well and happy. Very flexible with my schedule and made the point to come meet Luna ahead of time on a previous day. Very attentive to Luna's schedule and her specific little quirks. Luna clearly enjoyed her time, giving John a super speed tail wag and some kisses before we left.”

“Nicole is absolutely amazing!!! Took fantastic care of my Minnie girl, who had just come home from the hospital and been diagnosed with pancreatitis. My dog is active and Nicole kept her entertained all day while I was gone. I loved the picture updates. Nicole was a life saver and as a small business owner and a military spouse it can be difficult to find a doggy sitter. Our Minnie is our child and we our so grateful for Nicole, we will definitely be using her in the very near future. I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies.”

“Marianna is an amazing pet sitter. We never have to worry about our babies on vacation. We get a ton of pictures and videos and they are so much loved by Marianna. She arrived on time and follows all your detailed instructions to a T. You will be updated on your furry babies quite frequently and if there’s a question about the dogs Marianna will always ask you first! You can tell Marianna has a love for all animals. She’s very kind and gently with our pets. We have used Marianna many times in the past and we will continue to use her. She is the only one I trust with my dogs other than my mom. My dog with a lot of medical issues seems thrive when she’s here. My scared dog took to Marianna the very first hour she arrived! I usually feel horrible leaving my fur babies even to go get groceries but when I know Marianna is petting sitting, I don’t feel too guilty because they will be so loved and given so much attention!”
