House Sitting Southwest

“Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!”

About: Having a bond with with your dog is my priority! They need to feel loved and wanted- even when you aren't at home. I've been taking care of two large German shepherds for years and I take pride in my ability to make them feel at ease and happy. I'm currently living alone and during the summer months I am available full time to drop by and check on your furry kids or house sit as needed. While working with pups is my goal, I am also detail oriented and observational to their needs as well as yours. I can walk, play with, love, care for, and protect your pets as if they were my own. They're part of the family, and deserve to be treated as such. I'm currently working part time as a caregiver in a home with 7 animals! But I love being getting to be the person someone can TRUST with their furry family. Your pet is as good as your child to me! My clients home is their safe space and I respect that! It is also their pets home, and that is almost more important to me; they deserve to be loved and cared for in their own space!

“Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!”

“Kara is a true dog lover. Our pups like her and seem comfortable around her. Kara was fairly flexible and straightened the house a bit while we were away. She sent adorable pictures and a video to us while we were away.”

About: All of my dog care experience has been stay at home dog sitting and volunteer work at a dog shelter. Because I work at a dog shelter, I know many of the basic techniques and rules of dog care such as grooming, clean up, body language of dogs, and taking care of dogs that may have been abused or experienced trauma in the past. I have a 2 year old french bull dog that I love. Mr. Bean brings excitement, adventure, and love to my everyday life. I am especially good at taking care of senior pets as they are my favorite to support in petsitting capacities. I am a graduate student that spends a lot of time reading, writing, and hanging out at home. Because of this, I am very flexible and can fit pet care in ways someone with a 9-5 could not. I am available in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings during the week and frequently on the weekend. I care for other's pets the way I care for my own - with patience and love. As a graduate student and researcher, I am quick to problem solve and critically think about creative solutions in different scenarios.

“Miss Penny was so professional and personal right from the beginning. She took such great care of our pups and sent tons of pictures. I will absolutely ask Miss Penny to watch our doggos again, and I would recommend her to anyone confidently.”

“Rachael was prompt, professional, and a good communicator. She was sweet with my pup and shared lots of pics. This was my first experience with an in-house sitter and she made it great!”

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom was uncomfortable around animals, so she encouraged me to help neighbors care for theirs. What started as a way to spend time with animals eventually grew into a pet-care business that I've continued for more than six years. Over the years, I've provided dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, house sitting, and cat care for 20–50 pets. I've worked with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, anxious dogs, multi-dog households, and pets with special care routines. I'm comfortable administering oral medications using pill pockets, maintaining feeding schedules, handling accidents, and providing consistent exercise and companionship. As an Ohio State student-athlete and Morrill Scholar, I take pride in being dependable, responsible, and communicative. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. As a student-athlete at Ohio State, I maintain a structured and consistent schedule. I have swim practice in the mornings, but outside of practice I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. Since my schedule is predictable, I plan my day around the pets I'm caring for and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I prioritize maintaining each pet's normal routine and following all owner instructions carefully so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I make sure pets receive regular exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, meals, and plenty of attention.

“Kaci was great! My dogs loved her, and my two cats that don’t normally like each other cuddled up on her lap together. 🥺 so she definitely brings along good vibes. She sent lots of pictures of my babies and kept me updated with their care. Absolutely will ask her to watch them again.”

Amber P.

“Lauren was great. She watched my kitty in my home for a few days on late notice. I got home to a clean house and a happy cat. She even dropped my fob by my place the next day, which was really sweet. I will definitely use Lauren again in the future.”

Jessica B.

“Did a wonderful job house sitting for my 4 dogs! Was very responsive and sent pictures/videos for us. I felt like she was very reliable and followed all instructions I had for each of my dogs.”

“Skyler did a great job with our 2 needy doodles! She gave them lots of play time and love, sent us regular updates, and left the house clean and the dogs happy for when we got back.”

About: Hi there, I’m Kaisee and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies. I’ve been working closely with dogs (and cats) for many years now. From dog sitting and grooming to working at an emergency vet clinic now, dogs have always had a special place with me. I understand that personal lives outside of the house can be hectic and that unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed everywhere we can go, I’m here to make sure your best friend/fur child will get the attention they need when you aren’t around and I promise not to spoil them too much. I can give grooming tips if needed and know how to train for basic commands, if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your four legged best friend. :) I work early hours M-F, so I am off work by 2pm and can make those early afternoon check ins. I also know that work isn’t the only thing that keeps us out of the house. Can always check in before bed time so clients can enjoy a late night out. When entering a new clients residence I am sure to keep everything neat and tidy and make sure your pet is safe and healthy. Talking in a soft voice as to not scare any pets and make sure all things are secure before leaving.

“Cody was with our Odin for 10 long days. We missed our guy tons but Cody checked in often and sent us lots of pics and updates. And spoiled him with fun activities. Runs and wrestling. Odin even tired to leave with Cody when it was time for him to go! Our house was in perfect condition as well. Cody is a wonderful care taker and our go to guy when we need a pet sitter! Thank you so much Cody!”

“Jules was amazing with our two boxers, Rocky and Tyson. She was extremely attentive, sent us photos and kept us updated throughout the entire stay. The experience made us feel at ease knowing our home and babies were taken care of and in good hands. Will definitely be using Jules again!”

Taylor M.

“Zach was such a blessing to us. He was so understanding and flexible with our needs and our old doggies and kitties love him. He was attentive and thorough with all our millions of instructions for taking care of our geriatric Great Danes with many health issues. He also took care of some things last minute for us that I had forgotten to do. It was such a relief to find someone we could trust to stay with our boys. Thank you Zach ❤️”

Jessica G.

“Emily is extremely kind and communicative! She sent me photos daily of my pups, she followed my instructions to a T, she kept my house extremely clean, and I would recommend her to anyone! My dogs were so happy when we came home and that tells me everything I need to know about her. She’s the best!”

Riley M.

“Meghan was a terrific dog sister. Our little 8 pound Maltese looked like he loved every minute of his time with her. She took him on long walks, play time and sent us pics everyday. We could tell by the look on his face how happy he was with her. couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter.”
