House Sitting in Sparks

About: Hi, I'm Chayla! I'm a nursing student pursuing my BSN, and I absolutely love working with pets. In addition to my hospital experience, I've been caring for and walking dogs for several years. I’m more than happy to help with all your pet's needs, whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or simply keeping them company while you're away. I'm also open to taking on other pet-related tasks that you may need assistance with! Feel free to reach out to me on Rover I’d love to take care of your furry friends! :)) I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to work around yours. Please feel free to reach out with your specific times and dates, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. Whether it’s a one-time visit, daily walks, or overnight stays. For overnight booking in my clients homes I believe communication is key, I understand every pet is unique, and so are their owners! I’m happy to customize my communication based on your preferences, whether you prefer daily updates with photos, a quick text to check in. I respect all clients’ homes, I’m mindful of the client's space. I respect their property, use their supplies as intended, and keep the home secure. I also make sure that everything remains just as it was when I arrived. I keep a close eye on your pet’s well-being and take extra care to follow any special instructions or medical needs they might have. You can rest assured knowing that your pet will be treated with the all care and attention.

“I hired Brook again to watch Louie and stay at my house. She was an excellent caregiver and communicator. She sent me lots of pics and kept me updated on anything I needed to know around the house. I felt safe and comfortable the whole time I was away.”

About: As a mom to a 6-year-old Golden Retriever, I know from experience how much attention and care impact an animal’s life, their behavior, health, and even their mood. ​ I walk my dog twice a day because I know how much energy a Golden Retriever has and how important these walks are for their physical and mental health. ​ I’m a very active person, so I love spending energy with dogs on walks and playtime. ​ I love all animals, but dogs are my favorites because of their intelligence and genuine affection. ​ You can rest assured that your pet will be very well cared for with me, and we will definitely burn plenty of energy on our walks together Most days I’m available after 9 a.m., once I drop my husband at the office, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, or longer stays. At the moment, I live in an apartment, so the safest and most comfortable option for your pet is for me to provide drop-in visits and walks, rather than full-time boarding in my home. ​ During visits, I follow your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide, always making sure doors and windows are secure and your home is respected

“Karenna did an amazing job caring for our dog! She was super communicative, sending photos and asking about a few behavioral things to make sure everything was on track. She also checked in on a house issue (some ants had made their way inside) and was prepared to deal with it. I would highly recommend Karenna, and hope we get a chance to book her again sometime soon!”

“Mina house/dog sat for me for the first time last week and was just terrific. My pups seemed so comfortable, Mina sent me loads of pix and was super responsive to me if I needed to reach her. I came home to a clean and tidy house and two happy pups, couldn't ask for more! Thanks Mina and hope to work with you again soon!”

“Amanda was amazing, super friendly, responsive. I felt like my baby was left in great hands. She treated my dog like she was her own and I couldn’t appreciate that enough. Definitely will be booking with her again.”

About: Animals have been in my life since I was born. I'm currently still living with 3 cats and one dog at my family home and they are my whole world. I've watched over them many times ranging from different day time hours to multiple days at a time. I've really come to find how important animals are to humans and how grateful I am to be surrounded by them. I thought what better way to get involved but than to help out people with pet care and provide a comfortable space for you and your pets! I'm currently only participating in online classes that I'm able to do virtually anywhere. Luckily I have access to a car so I am able to commute accordingly. I am currently living with my parents and at our home we have 3 cats and a large dog. At this time I will only be able to offer care outside of my home. That would include dog walking, feeding animals, house sitting for animals, check - ins throughout the day.

“Jeff was great. Very responsive, and he sent regular updates on my dog and cat. They were well taken care of, and my house was clean and tidy when I got home. Thank you, Jeff!”

“Stephanie did a wonderful job for me. My almost-senior cat, Hazelnut, took to her, “shadowing” her. Stephanie did all that I had asked and then some. She followed feeding cat feeding protocol to the letter in addition to watering plants, and even trash/recycling management. Stephanie was very respectful of my home. I highly recommend Stephanie.”

About: I have taken care of all different types of dogs for varying amounts of time and looking forward to taking care of many more ! As a college student, I’m hoping to take care of your furry friend over breaks and weekends here and there when I am free ! I love a schedule and organization so if you give me instructions, I am all over that! I will try my hardest to stick to your dog’s routine!

“Nikki was very easy to work with for our needs. She was very communicative with questions and updates. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life, and have done some dogsitting and dog walking before. I’ll admit it’s been a bit since I had to focus on school work for my psych degree, but now that I have to wait till fall for grad school, I figured now is the time to help out some furry friends! I’m an animal lover at heart and am not only interested in, but willing to help with any accommodations! Our pets deserve the best after all! :) I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I have plenty of time for any pet care. I tend to be more of a night owl so I can help cats when they’re more active at night. I tend to work best with detailed instructions. I don’t want to disturb any routine and want the animal to feel as comfortable as possible.

“Cassie was a great pet & house sitter! We had a nice initial meeting and all the animals warmed up to her immediately. She was easy to work with, flexible, friendly and trustworthy. She walked the dogs and sent pictures every day. She kept her eye on the cat and guinea pigs and cleaned up after herself…and she even left an origami bird for luck. I will definitely be contacting her again. She gave me peace of mind to enjoy a few days away with the family without worrying about the home front. Thank you!”

“Zana was awesome! Our dogsitter caught Covid a few days before our weeklong vacation, so we really appreciated that Zana was available last-minute, did a meet and greet, and took great care of our senior pup and energetic 3-year old pup. She sent us lots of pictures so we wouldn't miss them so much. We highly recommend and would book Zana again!”

La S.

“Was great working with Rachel - especially appreciate the last minute support! Our 2 English Bulldogs, Hank and George, we’re excited to meet her and they all got along immediately. Rachel sent pics throughout our time away, took the dogs for walks, gave them medicine, and stayed at the house. Will def use her again!”

About: I have been caring for cats and dogs of all ages for the majority of my life, from young animals to seniors. I base my care on each animal's specific needs by listening to what you tell me at the meet and greet and, later, my own experience. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I foster and work in the cat room and the nursery with puppies and kittens. Through the shelter, I have taken several trainings to increase my skills in body language, enrichment, first interactions and more! I hope to continue to build my skills at the shelter. Through the shelter, my own pets and the pets I sit for, I have experience with giving medication--both pills and needles. While I try to keep a pet's routine, I even have a few tricks I've learned through the years to make medicating less stressful! My schedule is fairly flexible! I'm always willing to work with my petsitting families to ensure each pup or cat is well taken care of! I follow your routine in your home to ensure the pup or cat feels as safe as possible. Animals miss their families when you're gone, and I try to make that time as easy as possible by keeping them on their schedule!

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Jackie! She truly put us at so much ease when we went out of town. She cared for our cats with the same love that we do and our cat who is usually very shy warmed up to her very fast! I would recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a sitter that provides a lot of love and attention to your pets.”

About: Hi there! I’m someone who truly believes dogs make life better. I’ve had dogs in my life for 25 years, and while my own two pups are with me part time, my house feels so much fuller—and happier—when they’re around. That’s why I’m excited to open my home and my time to care for your dog as if they were my own. I’m recently divorced and building a new chapter for myself, one that centers around doing what I love: spending time with dogs. I work from home, which means I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day—walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just good company when they want to relax. I have extensive experience with large dogs, but I’m comfortable with pups of all sizes and personalities. I pride myself on being highly attentive, reliable, and communicative—I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you’ll always know how your furry friend is doing. If you’re looking for someone caring, responsible, and genuinely dog-loving, I’d be honored to be that person for you and your pet. I am an early riser who works from home so meeting the needs of your pet will be an easy addition to my current routine. I have a fully fenced back yard and a finished basement that allows plenty of space inside and out for your pet to explore, play and feel safe. I have a large dog crate if that is your preference but my dogs sleep on the couches.
