House Sitting in Stamping Ground

“Mariah was great farm sitting for us in the cold and snow! She was great about staying in touch with both of us about everything and sending lots of pictures.”

“Melissa is fantastic every time! Our anxious, shy dog loves her and is so comfortable with her. She sends regular updates and obviously cares about him so much.”

About: I’ve been providing excellent dog walking/sitting services for 5 years with neighbors and friends. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, throughout all ages. I’ve had over 15 dogs throughout my lifetime and they hold a special place in my heart! I’m currently a student at the University of Kentucky and have classes on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. I’m available all day Monday and Wednesday. I have a loving and friendly Bernese Mountain Dog living with me and a fenced in dog park with obstacles to play on. If your dog requires to be crated I can easily do that too!

“Glenn was great with our dogs and took excellent care of them! He was thorough, great at communication, and he sent us lots of updates and photos. We have already booked him for a second dogsitting request because we know our dogs are safe with him!”

“It is honestly hard to put into words how great an experience I had with Lois without sounding hyperbolic. She was a perfect guardian of my home, my kitties, and my anxious heart. I'd never left my kitties for even a night, and I'd never used a sitting service but was offered the chance to visit my son in the Netherlands for 3 weeks and I couldn't pass it up. I just needed to feel at peace with how I left things at home. Lois was wonderful. She came over early for a meet and greet, and it was immediately obvious she is a kind, intelligent, and gentle person. I have two cats from a horrible hoarding situation who have taken years to feel safe, and they both took to her immediately! My stray, who came to me barely weaned, took a while but even he came around (he is scared of the cars going by the house). She took notes! (Something I always wished people I trained at work would do) Lois and I chatted a bit fairly frequently via a chat app, and she always sent what she called "proof of life" pictures, all of which were so dear. (One was of the kitties waking her up one morning. Such a typical thing in my home, and its normalcy was what made it great. That, and someone just waking up having the presence of mind to grab their phone and record this little domestic scene!) In our chats, just by the way she talked about my kitties it was VERY clear she'd quickly picked up on their personalities, quirks, and needs. The very language she used talking about how they were doing made it obvious she was talking about my kitties, and not just generic kitty language. And she left my home cleaner than I left it for her. While this is not the highest bar (lol) it was so nice to come home after 3 weeks, and an entire day of travel, to a clean, sweet smelling home with clean sheets on the bed! And a bowl of grapes on the counter to snack on (yes, I mentioned grapes and string cheese in our meet and greet. She listened!) I enjoyed Lois. I enjoyed our chats over and above talking about the kitties. She was clearly comfortable and cared about guardianship of my odd, quirky little house. Coming home I would not have known someone stayed here except that my cats were just as happy, fat, and sassy as they were when I left. I would recommend Lois without reservation. I feel like I have added a person in my life that I know I can count on if I need her, and if I ever need someone to care for my kitties it is really nice to know she is there. The comfort and peace she offered while I was on my magical adventure with my son was priceless. Thank you Lois!”

About: I’ve been a dog groomer for 1 year. That’s allowed me to learn many different dog breeds, as well as different behaviors styles and techniques for safety in dogs and cats. I’ve watched multiple animal at a time for 10+ years. I pride myself in following a strict schedule that’s given, as well as being sure medication is given if needed and animals are safe during the duration under my care. Taking videos and pictures to be sent while the owner is away is a given for me to make owners feel at ease while being away. I’m very lenient with scheduling, as long as you and the pet is happy and comfortable. I have 5 dogs of my own, all medium-large breeds. I make my own dog treats for their health and happiness. Exercising dog’s minds and bodies are very important to me as well. Attention, time, and love are my priorities when it comes to dogs and cats. I have references from trusted friends I’ve made over the years of pet sitting. I’m a dog groomer. The shop I work at is two minutes from my house inside town, and it gives me great flexibility to fit my job as a dog watcher. Both are very rewarding. Pets in my home have the ability to have as many potty breaks as needed and as much yard time in my fenced in back yard. I have plenty of toys to choose from, homemade treats offered, and a good tight schedule we all can benefit from. In clients home, I got by the exact schedule I am given to allow the animals to continue their activities as normal- as well to give owners a piece of mind.

“Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got home and had a great time. I would highly recommend Madison as we always have a stress free time away!”

About: I've had dogs all my life and I love them. I'm good at following feeding schedules, special instructions, and giving pets plenty of walks and playtime so they can be their happiest. Let me be there for them and for you. I'm currently taking time off work to pursue new interests and possibly go back to school so my schedule is very flexible. I can be available morning afternoon or night. I have a backyard with a tie out for quick trips but on nicer weather days( not snowing or icy) I can take your pets on long walks or to the park. I have two friendly dogs at home and ample space for a crate which will be needed for bedtime.

“Our dogs are older and have known medical needs, but Jessica was not deterred from taking care of them. Unfortunately our worst fear came true and one of our dogs had a medical crisis while we were out of the country (no one’s fault, just the dog’s health declining). Jessica escalated to us and took our girl to the vet office on two separate days to get her medical care. She work with our vet and learned to give our dog new medications to manage the situation. Aside from rising to the occasion of medical crisis, Jessica sent us tons of photos and updates of all the dogs (which we greatly appreciated). It is difficult enough to find a sitter who is competent in taking care of older dogs with medical issues, but Jessica exceeded all expectations and we can’t thank her enough.”

“Absolutely awesome! She was great with all our animals! She will be my first call every time!”

About: I’ve had many pets throughout my life, so I understand their needs and personalities. I’ve also spent a lot of time dog sitting and walking for friends and neighbors, making sure every pet gets plenty of love and attention. Your dog will be in caring and experienced hands with me! I’m a last year college student so between my classes can be there to play with your pets and love on them as needed. I do not provide care in my home but will follow clear instruction given to me by owners when providing care within their home! I will respect each owner.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for over 50 years. I was so lucky to grow up in a home that was the local Noah’s Arc. This childhood formed my commitment and love to animals. About 20 years ago, I decided to enter the world of pure bred dogs and have been an avid exhibitor and breeder of Pointers and Ridgebacks focused always on good temperaments and health. I love dogs and really believe it’s important that each animal I care for, feels at home, comfortable, pampered, exercised and loved. I have 4 dogs that are super casual and it has been very easy to bring animals into my home. I will only take 1 or 2 dogs at a time, as I want to be able to provide the best care possible for them. Your animals are treated as though they are mine and the care and love they will experience can only be exceeded by you. It’s always stressful for animals to be away from their families, so the more I can do to relieve this stress, the better I feel. I always tease my clients that their dogs may come home a little spoiled. I’m very much available all day really to take care of the dogs as my schedule is very flexible. In addition my brother lives with me and he helps me take care of the dogs. There is always a person at our house while your dog will be visiting. I also offer a military discount for those that have or are serving our beautiful country. I do not work outside of the home, which provides me with a lot of flexibility to provide dedicated care to your pets all day. I think it's important dogs that stay at my house receive the same amount of attention as they would at home and as my dogs do. I also believe it's important not to disrupt their daily routine, so I work closely with owners to understand each Dog needs.

About: Currently traveling and accepting bookings in Lexington, KY I will be house sitting in the area and available to make drop in visits and go for dog walks. Contact me for questions! The client I’m house sitting for has a testimonial on my profile. ********************************** Hello welcome I love dogs! Based in West Yellowstone and willing to travel! I’ll take your sweet angel on an adventure while you adventure in Yellowstone! I have experience owning, fostering, rescuing, and training dogs! Beyond dog sitting for a variety of clients in a variety of locations, I have also spent time working in dog rescues and with programs that train service animals. I am also a local guide in the National Park and general area if you have questions for your trip to Yellowstone :) I’m a traveling dog sitter! I make any request work as best I can. I love getting to incorporate dogs in my daily life as much as I can so I’m quite open and flexible. I work the in the tourism/travel industry which leaves me some freedom to pick and choose dates. I will almost always be caring for animals in the clients home as I am a nomad and live life on the move. While I’m settled in Montana for now it is possible I can care for animals in my own home with permission from landlords (who I also dog sit for! lol)

“Mary Grace was great with my dog during the overnight stay. I came home to a happy dog and the house was nice and tidy too, which was a bonus. I definitely recommend her.”

I have an eye for illness, injury, or sadness, so my goal will always be your animals' health and happiness! My passion is to create a safe, worry-free environment.

“Peyton did a great job and our dogs loved here. She sent us pictures and they always looked like they were having a good time. Would definitely ask Peyton to stay at the house and watch the dogs again.”
