House Sitting in Startex

“Zia was fantastic. Excellent communication, daily updates, and kept the house spotless! Our boxer was very comfortable with her. She was timely, and even stayed a little late when we had a late return flight so our boy wouldn’t have to be inside too long. Very professional, and clearly loves animals. We will be reaching out again in the future!”

“Mikayla is great and communicates so well. I was very nervous about leaving Colt but she assured me everything would be okay. Thank you for your kindness.”

Slava G.

“Kim was fabulous!! She sent photos and daily updates. Our cat usually hides for days but came right out for Kim and snuggled and stayed close. Our home was so well taken care of that we were able to get back and enjoy being home! We hope this is a win win win for all parties and plan to reach out again!”

Angela W.

“I can’t rave enough about Ted (and Sarah). Our recent trip was over the snowstorm which left us randomly delayed for another day. Ted and Sarah rallied and made this random challenge borderline care free. I simply can’t brag on the two of them enough. They are not only trusted house and hound sitters they are an answered prayer!”

About: For the past two years, I have been pet sitting for my neighbors pups whenever she is out of town. She has one small pup and one large pup. I am comfortable with any pup, no matter the size, the breed, or the age! I understand how important it is to keep a routine and make them feel comfortable while their parent is away. I love pups, and make it my top priority to make sure your babies feel comfortable and safe while you’re gone🤍 I am currently available full time! My schedule is very open. I am available Sunday-Saturday. I’m willing to do early mornings, overnights, late night if needed, etc. I am happy to work with your schedule! I think animals are the happiest when their everyday routine is maintained. I will carefully follow all care instructions, and make sure pets receive plenty of care, affection, attention, exercise, and enrichment while their parent is away. I’ll take the time to build trust with your fur baby! I will keep an eye out for changes in behavior or health and will keep you updated with messages and photos during visits. I will treat every home with respect and animals as my own.

“Irma is the best! She gave me plenty of updates. She left my home super clean and all of my many animals feed and happy! Will book with Irma again!!!”

“Carlee was amazing! I hope to hire her again in the future. Our pups LOVED her and she did such a great job updating us about them, how they were doing, and sending pictures. It gave us such peace of mind to have someone watching them where they were comfortable.”

Cristin F.

“A huge thank you to Isabella for making our first trip away from our pup worry free. This was the first time in eight years Rocky has been left with someone other than family. She was an absolute rockstar! She reassured my husband and I that Rocky was in the best hands possible. She came to our home to take care of Rocky for the duration of our trip. The entire time we were away, we received photos and texts updating us on Rocky’s adjustment. Turns out Rocky was fine. It was his parents that needed reassurance, which, by the way she was completely understanding of. I would 1000% recommend Isabella. She was patient loving towards our baby and extremely responsible. She was right he was in the best hands possible we will be using her again.”

Christina H.

“Jan took great care of our kitty baby! She stayed at our house, sent photo updates, put clean sheets on our bed so we literally got home and the house was cleaner than we left it. Her quiet energy is just what we needed. Can’t say enough good things about our experience with Jan!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and have a genuine love for pets of all kinds. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I provide attentive, loving care and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and shy pets, and I’m committed to keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Because I stay at home, I can provide plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I’m happy to accommodate them to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have two friendly dogs and a cat of my own, so caring for animals is part of my daily life. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I always follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a safe, loving environment where they will be treated like family. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

“Frances was Wonderful taking care of my babies while I was on vacation. I was gone for 5 days, and have two dogs….a German Shepherd and a Boxer, and they were well taken care of. I would highly recommend Frances for any of your dog sitting needs and will definitely use her again!”

Tracie S.

“Daniela took extra steps to ensure my pets were comfortable and cared for. I frequently feel nervous leaving my pets with someone new, but she was amazing with communication and it eased my mind knowing she was there to care for them. I would use Daniela in the future!!”

Camille W.

“I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful Dennis is. He and his wife (also on Rover) is how we connected. They have both cared for our babies since beginning of year. I trust them wholeheartedly and would recommend them to anyone! I’m beginning to wonder if my fur babies love them more than us 😆. They get overly excited when I tell them Mrs Sara and Mr Dennis are coming to visit. They are punctual and take extra care of the pets and house. Very attentive, loving and cogzinant of personalities and behaviors. They found a rather nasty sore on two of my babies that I would’ve probably never found or thought to even look for cause the babies never gave me reason to believe anything was wrong/bothersome. So thankful for them!!”

Amy G.

“Was great with my dog who Is afraid and the rest of my zoo. Was able to travel with no worries!”

Kristen T.

“I needed someone that was comfortable with German Shepherds and would watch my dog at our house. Melissa was a perfect fit. I had her walk my dog, Duke, with me a couple days before leaving town and then was gone for 7 days. She did a wonderful job and spoiled my Duke while also feeding my fish and bringing in mail. I would definitely recommend Melissa”

Matthew C.

“Carltyn went above and beyond with my shepherd who recently had knee surgery! Not only did she administer his meds and monitor his bandages, but she also took him to the vet when we learned last minute that his leg was infected. We would not have been able to go on our trip without her wonderful care!”

Isabel Mabree S.

“Alexis was amazing! She kept me updated on my pup, she was respectful of our home and she even left us flowers and did the laundry!!! I would recommend her to everyone!!!! Thank you Alexis, we appreciate you so much!”

About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.

“Angelica S was excellent. Our dog is very anxious with new people. Angelica came to meet her prior to her stay so Tessa could become familiar with her they were besties before long.”

“Jerry is an excellent dog sitter and in my own house. I couldn't have picked a better person for Roux. I received pictures of Roux everyday and she looked so happy. I would like to send Jerry a hardy Thank you”
