House Sitting in Sparta

“Ana is fabulous! She sent pictures, assisted with our chickens, administered medication, successfully applied a medication spray to our dog who hates getting sprayed... I could go on and on. Honestly, we had a really wonderful experience with Ana and plan to request her whenever we need a dog sitter.”

“We are incredibly grateful for the care Heather provided our dog while our family was on a 12-day roadtrip. Prior to Heather, our vizsla had a few poor stays at a dog boarding facility. Our pup thrives on being close to humans, so long-stay boarding is not a great experience for her. We were a bit nervous to have someone stay in our home, however after meeting Heather we felt very comfortable with the arrangement. Heather was fantastic with communication prior, during, and following her stay with our dog. She sent updates and pictures of our content pup. Also, she was very accommodating to meet our scheduling needs. We came home to a clean house, bedding and towels in the dryer, and a gorgeous banquet of flowers on our table. Even better, we came home to our dog who was relaxed . A much different dog then when we have picked her up from boarding. We have her booked for another trip in August. We highly recommend Heather!”

“Amber left the house very clean and brought in our mail (even though I forgot to ask her)!”

“Alex was wonderful to work with! Our 2 weenies had never been away from home without us so there was anxiety on their part. Alex was great with communication and helping them feel more at ease! Loved all the pictures she sent, too, which helped us feel at ease as well!”

“Allison was so friendly, professional and through taking care of our babies! She treated the pets like her own, and it was a relief to know they were well cared for while we were away.”

“Alex has cared for Shasta and is always kind. She loves animals and has an obvious connection with them. She has done a good job with our Shasta Daisy who has recently passed away.”

“During my many years of knowing Orlando, I have witnessed firsthand their exceptional dedication and love for animals. They have an innate ability to connect with pets and make them feel safe and loved. Orlando consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that the pets they care for have everything they need. His responsible nature and attention to detail make them an ideal choice for anyone seeking a pet sitter. In addition, my friend's reliability and trustworthiness are unparalleled. Furthermore, Orlando's knowledge and experience in handling various types of pets, as a pet owner himself, allows him to adapt easily to the specific needs of each animal.”

“Jessi loves taking caring of our fur babies and they love her. She is very responsible and willing to take on whatever is needed. Our family highly recommends her in whoever is in need of some help with their own fur babies.”

“Lindsey has been in love with animals since she was very young! She began with a little hamster named Max in 3rd grade and was so responsible even then! She has a very tender heart for all animals and has loved caring for family dogs, cats and dogs of teachers in high school, and a regular house and pet sitting gig for multiple summers in a row. She is very trustworthy, responsible, and kind. -Robin M”

About: Hello and nice to meet you! My name is Cassie. I am a Pet sitter/Dog walker currently aspiring to become a veterinarian. I graduated undergrad in May of ‘23 with a bachelor of science in biology and minors in music and microbiology. I have shadowed veterinarians, worked in a vet clinic, volunteered in the dog unit of an animal shelter, and I work as an animal control officer and part time as a member of the shelter’s medical team. I own an almost 4 year old cat and my family has 2 Irish Setters. I have owned pocket pets before and I have experience with them (guinea pigs and hamsters). I have grown up with dogs and have experience with litters of puppies as well. My Irish Setter has had 3 litters with which I helped socialize, supplement, potty train and ensure a healthy whelping. I am good with cleaning up messes if needed and I can administer medications as well including, but not limited to sub Q fluids. I frequently take my two dogs on walks when I visit my parents ensuring they are properly leashed and my volunteer experience has taught me the proper handling techniques in order to do so. Lastly, having owned pets myself, I understand animal behavior to the extent of understanding the animal's needs or mood. Being fear free certified helps me to understand factors in eliminating and reducing fear and stress in animals to make them the most at home. I do work full time, but luckily I have an amazing job that provides lots of flexibility. Parts of my shifts or all of my shifts are on-call which allows me to spend more time with pets even if I do work. Potty breaks and socialization would be able to happen frequently with minimal conflicts! I respect the boundaries setup in others’ homes and have the sole interest of keeping your pet happy, comfortable and well looked after. I treat them as I would my own pets.

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was a small child. I currently have two dogs, two cats, and five chickens of my own! We have a large fenced in backyard perfect for play time. We also have a “cat room” dedicated as a private space for the kitties to relax. I work from home, so I have great availability and flexibility to care for your fur babies! Whether it’s dropping in at your home, walking, or boarding at mine, I can make it work ☺️ We have a large fenced in backyard for dogs, and a perfect little private play room just for cats at my home. If I am coming to yours, I will always treat your space and pets with the utmost care.

“Jordyn is a HUGE animal lover . One day , he hopes to start his own animal rescue sanctuary. My dogs absolutely adore him. Treats them like his own.”

“Mattea was very responsive as we set up the sitting gig and she did a great job with Finnegan. I would engage her services again. She is a truly nice person and will follow your instructions to the letter.”

“Crystal was amazing and made sure that my pup was well looked after and loved. Recommended.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and got my own when I was 13. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and recieved some training experience when I was younger. I have traveled across the country with multiple animals, cared for aging and sick older pets and most recently have experience with an injured cat that has recovered from a serious accident. I work full time in interior design, with some weeks including Saturday. I have plenty of flexibility for evening walks and weekend overnights as needed. I would take care of pets in their home environment. I will abide by the guidelines of the owners and make sure the pet gets the stimulation and attention they need. I love cuddling with them and getting to know their personality.

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life and love taking care of them. I work full time but my job allows for me to come home for breaks. I am on 2 week breaks and three to four month breaks through the year! Looking to fill my time as pets are my furkids! I work full time but it allows me to come home during my breaks to let pets out! Looking to care for more pets! ❤️❤️ I do not have a fenced yard but we do 3-4 daily walks a day. We go to dogs parks and hike as much as we can.

About: I've had pets my whole life. Animals are my passion. Daily walks for life. :) I feed my animals 3 times daily. and they always have water. I'm home all day! and I have 3 animals of my own. we play in the morning and we work on our tricks daily! Your pet would fit right in. :) if my dogs act up, they will be put in the kennel. all potty breaks are on leach to prevent run aways. :) and all toxic food is put up and away. :)

About: Since I was young I have taken care of many types of pets including dogs, cats, and bunnies. I will often take neighborhood dogs out for walks or even just out to play at the park. I have also stayed the night at friends and families homes to walk, feed, and do other daily tasks for their pets. My dearest neighbors dog is like my own. I have worked with him since he was a puppy. One of my favorite things to do with him is work on his agility skills and set up courses for him to run. I am currently working full-time as a CNA, but my schedule is very open besides that. I work 36 hours a week which means I only work a few days as shifts are typically 12 hours. I am able to stay at others houses any night of the week and take walks and let out pups for potty breaks most days. I am sure we can figure something out! I will work with you to understand your dog and their needs. If that be crate training, potty training, specific routes for a walk, puppy play dates, etc. I will be willing to work with you. I have always had a love for dogs and will soon be getting my own puppy in just 2 months.
