Dog Sitting Surprise

About: Hi there! I’m Allison, and I can’t wait to meet your furry family members. I have loved and cared for my own dogs and cats for more than 25 years. Currently, my house is kept lively by my three amazing pups: a Beagle, a Golden Retriever, and a Labrador. Having raised everything from high-energy hunting breeds to gentle giants, I know exactly what it takes to keep a household happy and harmonious. My philosophy is simple: I treat your pets, in your home, exactly like they are my own. Whether your dog needs a structured routine and a good game of fetch, or your cat prefers quiet companionship and perfectly timed chin scratches, I tailor my care to their unique personalities. I am comfortable with oral medications, special diets, and multiple pets. I will make sure your pet gets the love and attention it deserves while you are away. I offer dedicated overnight stays at your home so their routine goes uninterrupted. I can provide morning and evening feedings, fresh water refills, multiple walks/yard play sessions, plenty of couch cuddles, and daily text and photo updates. I’ll also keep your home secure and tidy, bring in the mail, and water plants. I can also do drop in visits to provide morning/evening food, fresh water, let-outs/quick walks, playtime, and a clean litter box or backyard scoop. Animals thrive on consistency. I adhere strictly to your established schedules for feedings, bathroom breaks, and medication administration to minimize any separation anxiety. You will never have to wonder how your pets are doing. I provide daily updates complete with photos and notes on their mood, eating habits, and bathroom routines. If anything seems out of the ordinary, I will communicate with you immediately.

“We feel so lucky to have found Amanda. We know our Henry is in good, loving hands.”

“Elizabeth was an amazing pet sitter for our two kitties! She made sure to not only give specialized play time with our younger cat, but also gave space to our older shy cat. Both cats seemed to love being around her and we would love to have her catsit for us again!”

Emily C.

“Laura was great checking in on our cat! Didn't have any issues while we were gone and great communication. Everything was nice and tidy when we returned. Would use her again in a heartbeat!”

About: *IMPORTANT SUMMER INFO* I do not walk dogs when temps are over 95 during the day. I will walk up to 100 degrees when the sun is not out (early morning or after sunset). Walks will change to drop-ins (no change in price) if temps exceed this. We are a dog loving family and welcome small to medium size dogs for doggy daycare. Pam is available for dog walking and drop-ins on weekdays. For daycare, we have 3 resident dogs who will welcome your pooch to the pack, so yours should be good with other dogs. Our backyard is fully fenced, with a pool that your pup can cool off in. **The dogs are fully supervised any time they have access to the pool.** Pam works solely from home and Joe works in ministry just two miles away. Our schedules allow us to show your fur baby a great time and all the love and attention it will need while you are away for the day. Please let us know if you have any questions about your pup's needs. We look forward to welcoming them to our pack! ~Pam & Joe Why I love dog sitting I grew up with cats but fell in love with dogs when I got my first one, Maggie, in my twenties. Maggie was a Sheltie and was my companion through a lot of life's ups and downs. In 2010, I adopted Snickers & Itty Bitty, a malkie and care-tzu. Maggie, Snickers and Itty Bitty all lived to 15 years old, but we would have loved many more years with them. We now have Toby, a small mixed breed who is 10, Lucky, a Maltipoo, who was rehomed to us, and Ginger, a cavapoo princess who we were blessed to find through a rescue. About my yard Our backyard is fully fenced and landscaped. We have a pool and your dog is welcome to swim, or cool off on the baja step, if they like. We have a grass side yard that is a designated potty area for the pups. Pam works part-time from home and Joe works just 2 miles away. While Pam is home working, our 3 resident fur babies are never far away, sometimes even sleeping on her lap or desk. We have a gate that keeps dogs from accessing the front door. Our front door and back doors both have security screens, so if we open the door they can't run out. Our back yard is fully fenced and double fenced on the one side that opens to the front yard/street.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, cleaning, playtime, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m comfortable with pets of varying temperaments, including anxious or shy animals who may need extra patience and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I always aim to provide a calm, loving environment while pet parents are away. My schedule is currently flexible, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet routines and needs. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and most holidays, and I make communication and consistency a priority while caring for pets. The safety and well-being of every pet in my care is my top priority. I create a calm, secure, and supervised environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication instructions (if applicable), and any specific care needs. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can quickly respond to any signs of stress or discomfort. I always ensure pets are safely supervised during visits and walks, use secure leashes/harnesses when outside, and keep a clean, pet-friendly environment at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Trust and communication are very important to me, and I treat every pet and home with respect, care, and responsibility.

“Daizy was great! She was very communicative and kept us up to date with our kitty with pictures. She was very in tune with our fine details. Would definitely use her again :)”

About: Our family has had pets in our home for the last 20 years. We currently have one cat and two dogs, who loves having other dogs come to visit. We'll accept dogs for short stays, daycare, and boarding. We have a big backyard that allows for a lot of ball-throwing and running. Your dog will get lots of love and attention during their stay and will not be left alone. Because we work from home, your pet will get potty breaks and outdoor time whenever they want it. We love puppies and are happy to help with potty training. If you have been working with your dog on learning commands, we will continue that training while they stay with us. We'll update you throughout your pet's stay with pictures of what they've been doing. We look forward to making your pet a part of our family. Drop in visits will include feeding, play time, ball throwing, belly rubs, or whatever it is your pup enjoys. I work part time and have a very flexible schedule. I am available to do drop-ins throughout the day between 7:00 am and 8:00 pm. I will follow all instructions that are given to me and will keep your pets on any restrictions or routine that they are accustom to.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years - for friends, family and clients! Patience and snuggles are my motto! I can’t remember a time in my life I didn’t have an animal in my life personally and love when I’m able to help others! I work from home in a pretty flexible job- so I get to spend plenty of time with my furry friends throughout the day! Walks, pets, snuggles and treats! I lean towards what makes you feel best! I am used to animals that are well trained and ones that are still learning and growing. Safety of the pets and those around are always what is most important!

“Alex was absolutely amazing. She sent photos every day to give us updates of how the kitties were doing and left notes on how the visits went!”

About: I have had animals of all kinds since i can remember. I have taken care of dogs mostly but have experience with cats, bunnies, ferrets and even chickens and horses. I am a stay at home mom to a 2.5 year old little boy. Just trying to make some extra money for my family doing something I love and helping out pet parents in need! I will be sure to follow all rules, I am very diligent about what a dog needs as I have a couple senior dogs at home that take special care (vitamins etc).

About: I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for your furry friends! With 10 years of dog-sitting experience and a lifetime of growing up with dogs, I bring a deep love for canines and a wealth of knowledge to ensure your pets are happy and well-cared for. I specialize in staying active with dogs, whether it's long walks, playtime, or engaging activities tailored to their energy levels. I have extensive experience with both senior dogs and puppies, understanding their unique needs and providing the extra care they require. As the proud owner of two well-trained, large-breed dogs who get along great with others, I know how to foster a positive and safe environment. I'm also skilled at administering medication and accommodating any special needs your dog may have. Let me give your pup the love, attention, and care they deserve! As a passionate pet caregiver, I seamlessly integrate dog and cat care into my daily and weekly routine to ensure your furry friends receive the exercise, attention, and love they need. My schedule is structured to prioritize their well-being while maintaining flexibility to meet their unique needs. **Daily Routine:** Each morning, I start with a brisk walk or play session for dogs, depending on their energy levels, to get their exercise in early. For cats, I engage them with interactive toys. Throughout the day, I provide multiple check-ins, including feeding, fresh water, and potty breaks for dogs or litter box maintenance for cats. I make time for extra cuddles, grooming, or training sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. If medication is required, I administer it precisely as instructed. Evenings include another walk or playtime, ensuring dogs get ample exercise (at least 1-2 hours total daily) and cats receive focused attention to keep them content. Before bedtime, I ensure they’re settled with a calm environment, often spending quality time to reinforce our bond. **Weekly Routine:** On a weekly basis, I plan longer adventures for dogs, such as hikes or visits to dog-friendly parks (with owner approval), to mix up their exercise routine and provide new stimuli. For cats, I rotate toys and introduce enrichment activities. I schedule deep cleaning of pet areas, such as bedding or litter boxes, to maintain a hygienic space. My two well-trained, large-breed dogs, who are great with other pets, join in group activities when appropriate, fostering socialization for dogs or providing a calm presence for cats. I also set aside time to communicate with pet owners, sending updates or photos to keep them connected. My 10 years of experience and lifelong background with pets allow me to adapt my routine to accommodate senior pets or puppies/kittens, ensuring they get the extra care they need. By weaving pet care into my daily and weekly rhythm, I guarantee your dog or cat receives abundant exercise, personalized attention, and a nurturing environment, all while keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. Safety and trust are two very important things, especially when talking about pets. I’ve grown up with so many different kinds of animals, and each one of them have had different personalities! So if your dog is energetic, shy, skittish, or even lazy… I will take all necessary precautions to make sure your pet feels safe and anxious free! Especially if im in their home, dogs and cats can get very territorial and im fully prepared for any situation!

“Maryann does an amazing job! She is punctual and accommodating to my schedule. I love that she communicates with me about Penny’s visits and goes out of her way to make sure everyone is happy.”

About: I am an experienced pet caregiver, and in another life I was a veterinary assistant. I now work from home, so I want to spread love and care to all pets big and small! As of right now I am available every day, including weekends, from early mornings to late nights. I have reliable transportation to and from your homes as needed or in case of any emergency. I can offer long walks and play time for your furry friends! I can work with both dogs and cats who require medications such as insulin, transdermal medications, any other oral medications and other special care during home visits and boarding situations. I do not have any breed restrictions and hope to see dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I can walk even the heaviest of dogs. I currently work full time from home. I have a fenced in backyard for potty breaks and easily accessible walking trails by my home that I love utilizing. I live in a 3 bedroom home with my partner and a roommate. We are all animal lovers and love to play. While I am the main caregiver in the home, I am in competition for main cuddler.

“Maddy was a wonderful drop-in sitter for my cat Violet - thank you Maddy! Definitely will rebook when I travel next!!”

“Laura did a great job looking after our 2 cats while we were out of town. We received updates every morning and when we came home the cats were healthy and happy. One of them is extremely shy and normally will hide when strangers are here. When Laura came to meet them prior to our leaving the cat came out right away and meowed at her so that was a good sign she would be fine with Laura. I am always so nervous leaving them. They are sweet cats. Thank you Laura for looking after them!”
