House Sitting in Taylorsville

About: I grew up on a farm and have experience with farm animals, cats and dogs and birds. I've fostered and rehabbed many. Currently I only have my rescued "Adventure" toy poodle. I have taken care of some reptiles but will not call myself a pro. I've also raised/cared for all kinds of domesticated rodents. If your animal needs special treatment medical or has extra picky behaviors, I am willing and not afraid. I've trained most dogs in my life using hand signals and I'd love to learn your training methods. I maybe an old dog but I can learn new tricks. I am also available for house, farm and plant sitting. I am happily retired, so my time is my own. I can't think of a better way to spend it than with my pets and yours. Every home is different and pets have their specific needs. I'll listen to how you keep your pet safe and I'll follow your lead. You know best.

About: I’ve taken care of 6+ litters of puppies, the largest being 10 pups! I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes from bearded dragons to Great Danes! I currently work part time so i have plenty of time to play with your pets! I can house sit whenever I’m not booked, and quick visits will usually be around 8 am and 8 pm. Pet care is entirely up to the owners! If there are specific instructions to pet care let me know and I’ll do my best to cater to your pets needs. I can crate pets if preferred as well.

“Bailey took great care of all of my animals, she left the house clean and communicated with me the whole time we were gone. We will definitely be booking with her in the future!”

“Amanda is great with Scooby! We really appreciate her communication and photos the entire time we were away. She is very trustworthy and caring, and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands!”

About: I have a lifelong love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for them. I grew up around dogs and currently have my own pitbull named Sage, who I adopted and trained myself. She is the sweetest girl and has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and giving dogs the love and structure they need to thrive. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because animals have always been a big part of my life. I care for my own dog, Sage, every day by making sure she gets exercise, attention, and proper care. I also regularly help take care of my boyfriend’s five cats, so feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them love and attention is something I’m very used to doing throughout the week. Because I’m already in the habit of caring for animals daily, it’s easy for me to incorporate pet sitting into my schedule and make sure every pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve. When caring for pets, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible by feeding them on schedule, making sure they have fresh water, taking dogs on walks or letting them out for bathroom breaks, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. I also keep litter boxes clean for cats and make sure they get the affection and care they need. Because I’ve grown up around many different animals and currently care for my own dog, Sage, as well as my boyfriend’s five cats, I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. I’m attentive, patient, and always treat every pet like they’re my own while making sure the home stays clean and everything is exactly how the owner expects.

“She was the best! My pups absolutely adored her. She was great with communication. I am very nervous about others watching my pups. She handled my anxiety with ease.”

“Destiny cat sat our cat while we were out of town for 10 days. She came over daily to feed our cat, play with her, and keep her company. She left our home spotless and even washed the cat bowl and swept up the cat litter that our cat kicks out of her litter box before our return. She also send us videos and pictures regularly so our minds were put to ease that our cat was taken care of back home. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone reliable and responsible to come over to petsit their fur baby.”

“Maggie is wonderful! I love it when someone is personable AND takes care of my boys and my house exactly as I asked. She came for a meet & greet and then we booked our date. She showed up on time, communicated very well, and when we returned, I could tell that my 3 boys were loved on just by how they greeted us when we came home. I’d give her 10 stars if I could.”

About: I am a very active person and will keep energetic pets busy. I also have experience with caring for older dogs and making sure they are well taken care of and have everything they need. I have experience in keeping up with medication needs of dogs and ensuring they have all their necessary vitamins. I am currently going to college at KSU for mechanical engineering. In my free time I would love to care for your pets. I have a lot of time outside of school and feel that pet sitting is a great way to fill this time. I have had pets throughout my life that I watched and cared for. I made sure they were well taken care of and always had everything they needed. I have also taken care of other friends and family pets and always had a positive experience.

“Lexi did a great job watching our pets and home while we were away. She was very communicative, kind, and made sure both animals were well taken care of. Everything went smoothly and we felt comfortable knowing our pets were in good hands. We’d definitely trust her to watch them again!”

About: Hey! My name is Makayla. I was raised with all kinds of animals, horses, dogs, and cats and so much more. My dream is to be a vet. People say I’m an animal whisperer. I also love taking in rescue pets. The year i gratuated of 2016 i went to New york to help my aunt on the horse farm. I would muck stalls and take the horses out to the pasture and would give them fresh water. Animals are like children "they can be stubborn but they will mind" lol. I have a blue nose pitbull and her name is Maddie, she loves car rides and going to the parks and going to the lake. The most training techniques i use is sit, shake, down, stay. I'm currently unemployed so my day is free and available all day for your babies! But I also take the time to take care of my grandparents here in there when they need me. Well right now I stay with my grandparents and it's not easy for me to board them in my home but I've always say board them at home because they are more comfortable at their home.

“Kasianay was wonderful. She is professional and was flexible when I needed to adjust my dates. She was attentive to my girls, sent plenty of updates with photos and left my home just as it was when I left for my trip. 100% recommend!”

About: Ever since I can remember, I have been around and loved animals. My first job I worked at Petsmart in the grooming salon. I started pet sitting while in high school, when neighbors and coworkers would go on vacation. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I am able to administer medicine and care for elderly animals. I work from home five days a week and off weekends, so I am able to work in different areas freely. My nights are generally free. I have a large fenced in backyard. I do have a dog at my house. You pet will have free roam of the house, I am able to crate if needed.

About: I have spent many years fostering puppies/ dogs with an organization called “mostly mutts.” I have always been an animal lover. I’m very attentive and protective of every animal I come in contact with! Given the opportunity to watch someone else’s furry, I would treat them as my own! I have 2 dogs of my own and a cat. I am very strong and can manage larger breeds of dogs. I understand that people’s pets are a part of the family and they deserve only the best care. I take being a Rover dog walker/ sitter very seriously because of this. Your pup will be in very good hands! I also have a love for cats so I’d be more than happy to cat sit as well! I can’t wait to meet your furries!

About: I’ve grew up around dogs and it was always my job as a kid to feed and water, play, exercise, and do their potty breaks! I’m currently working part time cleaning houses, so I’m available most days! Just contact me for scheduling and I would love to fit you in! I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home—following all instructions, making sure they have water, and giving lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away.

About: [ Pet-sitting taken seriously for your peace of mind! ] Growing up in a household full of creatures, I’ve taken care of dogs, kitties, birds, bunnies, and a pig! I have a deep love for animals and bugs. Most recently I’ve helped handle and raise puppies!! While I understand how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pets at home while you’re away, pet-sitters like me are here to monitor your pets and provide them the detailed care they deserve in the meantime. Your pets deserve the patience, attention to detail, and unconditional love I'm looking to help provide. I promise to take special care of your sweet furry family members! ♡ My schedule is open! Rover is my priority at this time. There is plenty of room in my schedule so I can take special care of your fur babies! Every morning I make sure my pets have fresh water, and then we get the zoomies out with some exercise! All of the animals in my house eat at specified times, some twice a day. I am sensitive to their needs and do notice as their behavior shifts day-to-day.

“Amanda was great! I was worried about my dog because she’s older. But she was very well taken care of and Amanda made sure Reese’s was in good hands! I will definitely rebook with her.”
