House Sitting in Sparks

About: I have grown up around pets my whole life and have always loved their company. At a young age I wanted to be a veterinarian so I can learn more of animals. Even though I did not take that route in my education I still have taken care of many pets with disregards to age range or personality. Coming from someone who has experience with a pet with an illness I know how important it is to insure their health and safety. I am solely focused on their need of comfort and safety in my care . I believe open communication and direction for the care of your loved ones is very important in this role. I currently work a full-time job so my availability is not as open. I am currently open on weekends and the occasional weekdays, I will try my best to align with yours and your pets schedule. I intend to keep the best environment of safety and enjoyment wherever it may be. I will work to keep the peace and chaos in a healthy balance, whatever your pet will need.

“We were nervous having never left our 6 animals for any prolonged period, but Lauren exceeded our expectations. She communicated with us throughout the entire time we were gone, sending us pictures and updates. Lauren was quick to respond to our message’s prior to booking, even though we contacted on such short notice before the holidays. Our kitty got sick on the tail end of our trip, she stayed longer to make sure he was ok. Lauren was even able to get our problem child (dog) onto friendly terms within day 1. Lauren is very experienced, friendly, and a great communicator, we would highly recommend her services.”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life !! I currently have two dogs of my own as well. I do some dog training. Sit, stay, lay, shake, crate training, and potty training. I work full time however I get two breaks and only work Monday-Thursday. I work from 8-5 and take a break at 1130 and 2:30. I live in a house and have a closed in fence. I take my dogs for a walk or run every day and will play fetch or tug of war with them in the yard. The dogs get lots of outside time and my girls love having new friends to play with! A kennel is not required but I do ask if you have one to bring it. Since we have our own dogs and also board more than one dog we put them up in the kennel when going to sleep at night.

About: I have trained my two Australian Shepherds to complete nationally in AKC agility. My dog Maggie has been ranked as the number one freshman all American dog in the Winter 2023 agility season. I also have experience with puppies and toy breeds. I have a chihuahua. My family raises AQUA quarter horses, and I have years of farm and ranch experience. I have raised many orphaned kittens and I understand cats. Pet care is my priority. I wake up in the morning interacting with animals and I continue to provide for both cats and dogs throughout the day. I usually feed after the dogs relieve themselves and then I will also feed cats. I then check water dishes and clean up any messes or cat litter. Then I interact with the pets and check their well-being. In the client’s home I follow all of their rules and take photos of their pets. I own my home. I have a fenced yard, and crates.

“Ashly was great with out 3 dogs! She checked on our boys frequently during the day and then stayed in my guest bedroom overnight. We requested that they sleep in the bed with her and she didn’t mind at all. She was even prepared to take them to the tornado shelter one night. I would recommend Ashly and I will be using her again (:”

About: Animals have been my world for as long as I can remember. What started as helping family, friends and neighbors care for everything from birds to horses eventually grew into a lifelong career. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked as a professional kennel technician and spent six dedicated years as a pet groomer. Because of this background, I bring a wealth of hands-on expertise to pet sitting, including administering medications, managing special routines, understanding strict diet precautions, handling grooming needs, and much more. This isn't just a professional skill set for me, it's a personal one. At home, I care for my own sweet pack of senior and special needs cats and dogs who require precise daily medications, so keeping your pet's health routine perfectly on track is second nature to me. I truly believe our pets are family, and they deserve nothing less than the absolute best. I would love to give your furry best friend the expert care, safety, and deep affection they deserve while you're away! I currently work full time in ER overnight Tuesday-Thursday. This allows me to be available most days, ecspecially Friday-Monday. My husband is also off during the summer, so if your fur babies are being boarded at my house, they have 24/7 care. In my home, I have a room dedicated to animals that I board. So if you want them kept separate from my animals they can be. If you want them to have company, I have both cats and dogs that are loving and love new friends. I have a huge back yard that is treated against things like fleas/ticks and it is animal safe. I can provide crates for any size dog if needed. I have tons of dog toys, cat toys, and little pools for cooling down on hot days. I spend a lot of time making interactive fun play times for all my animals. For cats, they also have their own room with calming Sentry plug in to help create a calm environment for them. They will have their own litter boxes, toys, and every comfortable place they can lay in with lots of sunlight. My husband is off in the summers, and I work nights so I am up at night on my days off, in our home your animals have 24 hour care. As far as for care in your own home, I will care for them anyway that you normally do. I offer walks, play time, I can give them pets and hugs, I will do whatever they need to feel comfortable and safe. I can follow any specialized routine your pet may need. I also offer baths and nail trims if requested and it can be completed without stressing the animal too much. I offer these services for both cats and dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was 10 years old. I worked on my aunt’s ranch where I cared for a variety of animals including dogs and cats. I also have a lot of experience with dogs since I showed my dog in 4H and won several awards. I love animals of all shapes and sizes so I’m sure I will be a perfect fit for your furry friend. I care for my pets every morning and every night. During three of the weekdays, I have class but I return home right after to spend time with them and get them exercise. I carry dog treats with me when doing visits to help the dogs feel more comfortable. I also enjoy taking long walks with dogs to keep them entertained. I am particularly fond of cats, as they are my favorite animal. I have four cats myself, and I think cats are truly precious. I love taking care of animals. My apartment complex features a significant amount of green space and a dog park. In my apartment, there are dog toys, cat toys, cat trees, and three different pet water fountains.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 6 years old, I’ve rescued 4, and been a Kennel tech. I am very experience with different animals and ages/size. I can work with any schedule - weekly/daily. I am pretty open and I work for myself so it makes it easy to be flexible. One is caged due to being a runner, the other has free roam. They play outside quite often, are given plenty of treats. They have free access to food and water.

“Brittney is great with the animals and very responsive! She helped us out pretty last minute, which we really appreciated. My 2 dogs and 2 cats were in good hands, would recommend!”

“Aubrey is great. We have two older Aussies, one tore his ACL right before we left for our trip. We traveled to Europe for 8 days and I was so nervous about leaving him injured. Aubrey was very compassionate and confident so I felt comfortable leaving him and our other Aussie. Everything went great! Aubrey quickly replied to my text asking how things were. When we returned home the dogs were well taken care of and the house was very clean:) so nice to come home and everything be in good order. I will definitely use Aubrey again.”

About: My name is Rudolph, but I go by Tim or Timothy! :) I’m not your basic pet sitter, I’m like a cool pet sitter. I take on fewer pet jobs at one time to give yours more attentive care. I stand out compared to other pet sitters due to my retention with my clients. I intentionally book fewer boarding requests, so your pet is not with a bunch of strangers. Due to high demand, bookings for overnight boardings on weekends is additional $5. I try to do something special and unique for each stay for both the owner & pet! Example. returning flight delayed? No worries. I have dog food & cat food on hand that I offer for emergencies like this at no extra cost to the owner. Pick up/drop off time changed? No worries! Just keep me updated, so the Rover app doesn’t charge you a late pick up/drop off fee. I provide crates, food and water bowls, toys, and pillows, additional leashes, etc. I have my own pet sitter insurance, I do daily walks, and your pet is able to free roam around the house to feel comfy. As a professional pet caretaker, the journey begins with a deep passion for animals and a desire to improve their lives. This role goes far beyond simply feeding or walking pets; it’s about creating a personalized environment that ensures both fur-babies thrive in terms of physical health, mental stimulation, and emotional well-being. Whether working independently as a pet sitter or as part of a larger pet care service, the career of an animal caretaker is a blend of hands-on care, intuition, and relationship-building. I also have experience with rabbits as I care for two bunnies, lion heads and lop rabbits. Upon request, I’d be happy to provide a list of my long term clients that are willing to be listed as a reference in order to provide a testimony of my pet care, and unique skill set compared to other pet care takers. LGBTQ+ friendly. Please note for any travel related bookings, there will be an $0.89 per mile. This includes for any changes during your pets stay that require travel, and any daycare, and pet sitting needs. I work a flexible remote schedule that allows me to care for animals as a pet care taker on the side because I love animals. I have open availability for mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends and overnight stays. As a pet caretaker, safety, trust, and environment are interwoven aspects that shape the quality of care provided to pets. Safety ensures that animals are physically protected and free from harm. Trust is the emotional bond that enables pets to feel secure and connected with their caretaker. The environment, both physical and psychological, fosters well-being, health, and happiness for the animals in your care. By carefully cultivating these elements, a pet caretaker can provide an exceptional level of care, enriching the lives of dogs, cats, rabbits and their owners.

My days are filled with taking three walks with my own dogs and playing all day long. We even take naps together in the evening, including me. With my dogs so occupied, we also engage in training, grooming, and provide them with treats and plenty of love. I provide a safe and welcoming environment for your dogs. My large, fenced-in yard allows plenty of space for play and exercise, and I can easily separate dogs if individual attention or space is needed. Comfort is my priority—I can offer a cozy bed, blankets, treats, and anything else your pet may need to feel at home. Your animal’s happiness and safety come first, and I tailor the care to their unique needs.
