House Sitting in Tea

About: Hi! I’m Jaden! An animal lover, active homebody, and someone who truly understands how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. 🤍 I strive to create a calm, loving, and comfortable environment where pets feel safe, cared for, and genuinely welcomed.. not just “watched.” Whether your pet loves adventure, playtime, cuddles, slow mornings, or simply having someone nearby, I do my best to match their individual needs and personality. I have experience with both dogs and cats of various ages, temperaments, and energy levels through Rover as well as personal pet care experience. I’m especially attentive to communication and love keeping pet parents updated with thoughtful messages, photos, and little moments throughout their stay so you can feel connected and at ease while away. A little about me: • Active lifestyle — great for walks, play, and enrichment • Calm and patient personality • Clean, cozy, pet-loving environment • Comfortable with routines, medications, and special instructions • Big believer that pets deserve love, structure, and safety I know every animal is different, and I truly care about making sure they feel secure, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! 🐾 I have a pretty flexible work schedule so I can accommodate to most last minute needs. Personal preference would be afternoons for walking dogs but of course any time you need, I will make work! Besides from outdoor play, indoor environmental stimulation is also a priority. I love to snuggle with animals to establish safety and trust. My cat has her own cat tree that she loves as well.

“Cynthia stayed at our home and cared for our two dogs for one week while we were on vacation. She was wonderful! She stopped over before we left to learn about our house and the dog’s routines and upon meeting Cynthia you can tell she is an animal lover! She sent photos and communicated with me daily. We came home to happy dogs, clean laundry and home. Cynthia is very friendly, trustworthy and great with animals. I definitely recommend her!”

“Zachary was absolutely fantastic with our pets! They were so relaxed and happy while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was looking after them. He was such a pleasure to work with, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to him again. Blu and Jif send their thanks for taking such good care of them! 🐾”

“Zach was an amazing sitter for my pups. They are precious and I expect them to be taken care of with full attention of them. Zach went above and beyond. He was timely in responding if I had a question. He took excellent care of them and checked in often with updates and pics to show me they were happy and content. I will be using Zach whenever I need to go out of town. I would recommend and trust him to all pet owners. Thank you Zach.”

“Lori sat with my cat for 6 days in March 2026. She was very attuned to my cat's needs. She assured me that she would keep my cat's routine to minimize his stress while I was away. The pictures I received from Lori while I was gone showed my cat doing "his normal," and he appeared calm and content. My cat even slept with her one night, as he would have done if I were home! Lori is "pet approved"! Lori left my house as clean as the day I left (even starting the dishwasher), handled a delivery for me, and the most important, graciously stayed an extra night when my flight home got cancelled and I could not get back prior to the end of the scheduled booking! Thank you, Lori!!! You are a life-saver! I will definitely use Lori again!”

“Magdalen did a great job looking after our dogs. They can be a handful, but she took great care of them and gave them lots of opportunity to play. She also provided frequent updates so I knew everything was going well. Would definitely rebook with Magdalen!”

“Our dogs loved Miranda! One of our pups had a medical condition come up right before we left and she handled with such ease. We got daily updates and pictures, which in turn helped us enjoy our family vacation more. We will definitely be using her again!!”

Tara K.

“Megan was great! She was so good with our dogs and let them out and played with them many times throughout the day. She we very respectful of our house by keeping it clean not breaking anything and also picking up a little for us. She was wonderful and we will be rebooking her!”

About: I've spent decades taking care of dogs and puppies. More than willing to walk and play with your pooch and do pop-ins. As for the training I do not have any certifications but both of my current dogs have general obedience and tricks as well. I have also trained my GSP personally for upland bird hunting. I am a full time teacher and also have a second job in the summer as well. This will be more if I can fit you guys into my schedule to pick up more hours in the summer. Whatever you need me to do for them I am more than happy to. I will probably not bring them over to board at my home just because I have two dogs and a cat at my house. Just safer to make sure everyone is comfortable.

“Justin is amazing! We came in from out of town and he helped us with relatively short notice. He’s genuinely one of the nicest and most thoughtful sitters we’ve ever had. Our pup loved him.”

About: I have extensive pet care experience that began at a young age. I started my own dog-walking business at 12 years old, providing regular walks and basic care for multiple dogs. Since the age of 14, I have had a dog in my family and have been responsible for daily care, including feeding, exercise, and companionship. I have also provided overnight dog-sitting in clients’ homes on one or two occasions, ensuring pets were cared for in a calm, familiar environment. I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I am currently a college student majoring in nursing with a flexible schedule, and I am hoping to fill some of my free time caring for and spending time with pet friends. I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I do not have other employment commitments, which allows me to dedicate ample time and availability to pet care. For dog care, I typically take at least one walk each day on my own time, so bringing a dog along would be no issue. For in-home services, I ensure pets are let outside for bathroom breaks, receive playtime and exercise, and are given plenty of attention and affection. This may include a walk if requested by the owner. I am also able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, during which I can quietly work on homework while ensuring the pet feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for.

“We really appreciated having Ann as a dog and house sitter. She had a wonderful rapport with our dog. She communicated daily with texts and pictures so that we felt connected and assured of our dogs care. I highly recommend Ann!”

“Lauren is amazing!! She took great care of Maggie AND our home. We are so thankful we found Lauren! She provides great communication prior to staying and sends pictures while you’re away. She takes the time to learn about your dog and the best way to care for them!”

“Great sitter, well communicated and sent picture updates. Will be using again”

About: While I don’t have any pets right now, I would love to adore your fur baby while you’re away. They will not be lacking, snuggles, attention, walks, and praise. I work full-time in southern Sioux Falls but have a very flexible schedule to come home to check on and care for your fur babies during the weekdays. In the evenings and on weekends, I am home. Every other week I have my three kids ranging from 11 to 17 who also love pets! I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals, and quite frankly, a house doesn't feel like a home without a wagging tail or a soft purr. Since I don't have any pets of my own right now, your fur-baby becomes my absolute world the moment they walk through the door. Whether we’re exploring the quiet neighborhood on a long walk, playing a high-energy game of fetch in my large fenced-in backyard, or just enjoying some quality 'couch time,' I promise to shower them with the same love and devotion I’d give my own. From playful kittens to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and medication, I’m here to provide a safe, calm, and incredibly loving sanctuary for your best fur friend.

About: Get your pup watched and played with letting you have a day not worrying, i’ve been around dogs forever wanting one of my own and loving dogs like no other. I’ll be there and you can trust me with your pet, i’ll run around and play with them all day long till there tired I love helping and i want to be someone you can rely on, im opening my schedule and able to check in and watch your pet and go check in between 8am to 4:30 every weekday i’d love to keep your baby comfortable and help you out with no worries in your own home, playing with and following everything you normally do.

“We couldn’t be happier with Lillian! She stayed at our home for 6 days and took wonderful care of our 3 dogs. From the start, she was communicative and reliable, keeping us updated regularly so we could enjoy our time away with total peace of mind. What really set Lillian apart was how much she went above and beyond. Not only did she keep our pups happy and well-cared for, but she also picked up after them in the yard and even vacuumed the living room! She also kept the dogs busy by going on walks and taking them to the park. We highly recommend Lillian to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring dog sitter. She treated our home and our fur babies with so much respect, and we will absolutely be booking her again!”
