House Sitting Thornton

“Diana was absolutely amazing with our little cat. We were abroad for 3 weeks and she was booked in for a home stay to live in with our cat. She treated our cat as her own and looked after her so well, and gave us lots of updates on her, which gave us so much peace of mind. Diana also treated our home so respectfully and it was so clean and well kept to return to. Our cat definitely loved her company too and got comfortable with her really quickly. I believe we have found our forever pet sitter for any future trips away too. Thank you so much for the perfect 3 weeks for our cat.”

“Addison is amazing!! She has dog sat my 4 giant fur babies a couple of times. They are a handful but she is very good with them. You can tell she has a very calming presence and my dogs really like her. She is very responsible and very responsive. Would highly reccomend her to take care of your dogs or cats!”

About: Me and my family enjoy animals. We have a dog of our own and had a cat. We are very attentive with pets. We will play and walk your pet. We will make sure the pet is fed and clean. We have pet sitted before for family and friends for months at a time. We enjoy taking care of animals but particularly small dogs and cats. So please call me if you would like your pet in good hands. I am in the Elk Grove area. Thank you. I can walk your pets, provide daycare or overnight care. My family will enjoy taking care of your pets. Your pet will be in good care. We love our animals ❤️ I have a big fenced yard , and have a crate. As well as a dog fence, dog beds, a cat litter box, and plenty of toys for animals to play with.

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).

“Rosemarie came to visit us and meet Lulu before the dog sitting date, which was very nice as they got acquainted with each other. On Thanksgiving Day Rosemarie arrived early and begin bonding with Lulu right away. We weee gone for a long time. Rosemarie fed and walked with Lulu. She sent us photos and even spent time cuddling with Lulu. We would definitely recommend Rosemarie and have no reservations about using her in the future as well as recommending to others. Thank you, Rosemarie!”

About: I do in kennel enrichment and dog walking at the SPCA. It has educated me a lot about positive reinforcement training, desensitization, compassion, and counter conditioning within dog behavior. I am very understanding of every dog's different temperaments and boundaries. I am the proud owner of Max, an 11 year old Pitbull who has been my best friend for over a decade. I am available anytime after 12pm, where your dog’s established routine becomes my priority. Whether they need strict mid-day feeding times or frequent potty breaks throughout the afternoon, I will be there for your pet. I am able to offer consistent, focused attention, structured enrichment, and companionship exactly when your pet needs it most. Safety is my top priority, with SPCA volunteer training and 11 years with my senior Pitbull, Max. In your home, I strictly follow your routine, maintain your house rules, and ensure all doors and gates stay locked and secure. On walks, my shelter experience means I am hyper-aware of our surroundings, good at reading dog body language, and fully confident being your dog's handler. I will send you regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind.

About: It is important to me that our furry family members are taken care of and receive the care they deserve. I am extremely detail-oriented and strive to make sure I care for your family just as well as you do. I currently work a consistent part-time schedule along with attending online college so there should be little to no time conflicts. I keep a planner so I have a clear idea of what my schedule looks like. I have experience with giving medication to pets of different temperaments along with handling cases of food aggression. I ask owners to provide detailed lists of what is needed as well as actions I could take in case things go awry. I usually make the effort to contact owners with updates on pets and with questions when necessary.

About: I have cared for and cherished so many animals my whole life, from puppies to senior fur-babies, big and small. Being a former mail carrier (*insert mailman being chased by dog punchline*), I befriended animals everyday on my routes, and with this I understand, and take seriously, the respect, safety, and awareness needed in becoming acquainted with new furry friends. Anything from Lhasa apso to cocker spaniel to labradoodle to pit bull and to Doberman, you name it, I’ve cared for them! I’ve spent many years administering, vet-approved, health/quality of life medications (anxiety, infections, fleas, etc.), bathing/brushing/drying, and exercising dogs. I love seniors and puppies all the same, all are welcome! It is my mission to provide ease and comfort for you, and your beloved fur-family, until you're back home with them again; all while doing something that I love :) My current schedule is open 7 days a week, from early morning, up until 8pm at night. Anything from a walk, a couple hours, or part of a day, I’ll take care of them! My home resides in a quiet suburb, and includes the following:. OUTDOOR: - Supervised backyard time (potty and play) - Tall fenced yard - Large grass area - Chlorinated swimming pool (parent permission mandatory-warm weather only-72°and up) INDOOR: - Baby gates for stair access (2 story home) - Flat or fluffy dog beds - Toys (tennis balls, soccer ball, football, frisbees, and unripped squeaky toys) - Medium and large indoor kennel - Food and water bowls - Potty pads - Treats (parent permission needed)

About: I’m an experienced dog mom of 8 years now. I’m always somebody that people call when they need somebody to watch their dogs/cats because everyone knows how much I love animals. I prefer spending my time with animals compared to humans sometimes lol. I’m currently working part-time, but as of the next few weeks, I will be working from home, so I’ll be available anytime needed! I’m a very gentle, loving person. I will watch your fur babies and care for them as I do my own! I wouldn’t do anything that you wouldn’t do :)

“Aichav took good care of the dogs and my house while I was gone. I appreciated all the photos and updates while I was away and she was very flexible with timing to start and end the sitting time. I came back home later than expected and she stayed with them until I was able to get home. Thank you”

“Maya watched our dog and two kitties for a week and took good care of them. She also kept an eye on our backyard koi pond when there was a storm with high winds and rain.”

About: Hey there! I'm from Wilton, and I'm great with animals. What sets my apart is I have had dogs, cats and horses my whole life. On top of that I also have chickens, ducks, goats, and geese. So I don't mess around when it comes to animal care. Aside from providing exceptional care with my personal animals, I've also worked at a dairy where I milked the cows, fed them, and spent HOURS of time caring for them- so I'm definitely not new to spending some great time with animals that aren't mine. A lot of people I think come to pet sitting sites to earn some extra cash spending time with YOUR animals because it’s "easy". Truthfully, I'm doing this because I want to ease the anxiety of someone leaving their beloved family members (Yes I'm talking about your pets because they are definitely family) with someone they don't know, and provide others with the same amount of care and love I'd want someone to treat my animals with. My dog has a personal morning routine to get her hyped for the day, so I'm good with animals that need a little extra TLC! I work part time 4 days a week Monday through Thursday 6am-3pm. So for the rest of the day I'm free! I love to be outside and staying active so if your animals love the smell of the outside and having someone play games that get their brain moving- I'd love to help! I also do not work on weekend's so am totally free to pet-sit on weekends and weekdays! I live on 3 acres with friendly dogs, and lots of opportunity for your pets to be around animals they typically wouldn't see! I also have a kennel area if you would prefer that.

“Cheryl is so wonderful with our 2 dogs. I literally plan trips around her availability because she’s so fantastic and I trust her with my pups. Thank you for another worry free service. We appreciate you so much!”

“Joel was great to work with and took excellent care of Indy. The week before my booking, my dog fell ill and needed to take medication. Joel was flexible and accommodated the changes like a pro. I will definitely work with Joel again.”

“Gabriela was great with my puppy. It was so nice being able to leave her at the hotel and not worry. I will definitely recommend her to everyone I know.”

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was in Elementary. Friends, Neighbors & Family have relied on me for any & all of their pet needs. From walking, house/pet sitting at their home or mine, grooming to running them to vet appointments, I have done it all!! I love all animals & I treat them like family :) I spend my days with our Whippet Mix, Bambi, who is 7 years old. She gets along with all dogs, any age. We have taken her with us everywhere we go since she was a pup. We go on daily adventures, whether we go to the park, on a little drive or just on a walk, we like to explore. We're available for pet services & boarding pretty much any day of the week, not much notice is necessary 😊 We have a 4 bedroom home, and it's just my husband & I, so there's plenty of room! We don't mind animals on our couches, we also have a couple of dog beds with blankies & pillows. We have a toy bin Bambi has free range of, but we can always put it away so there aren't any toy arguments if needed.

“Natalie was amazing with Lilo & Stitch. She kept us updated the entire time we were gone and our pups were happy. We’ll be happy to book her again in the future :)”

“Sophia stayed with my dog and cat for a long weekend and shared daily photo updates while I was away. She was kind and respectful of my home, and everything was in good shape when I returned. I appreciate her help and care during the stay.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets and homes for more than 25 years, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles, and have spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and through TrustedHousesitters. Earlier in my career, I worked at a veterinary office, which gave me hands-on experience with animal care. I’ve also volunteered with Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue, helping with transportation, fostering dogs in need, and walking dogs at the rescue. That’s actually where I met and eventually adopted my own Golden Retriever and Mini Goldendoodle! My family has been active on TrustedHousesitters for the past two years, both as pet owners and sitters. Being on the other side of the experience has given us a real appreciation for how important it is to find someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to look after your pets. We love giving that same peace of mind to other pet parents. I work full-time, but spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do in my free time. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️ I work from home most days so am open to taking care of pets in the morning, lunch time, and in the evenings. I am available on weekends with a 1 week notice. I can also stay at your house and work remotely if you require someone to be with your pets throughout the day. I care for every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I do not like kenneling dogs so unless this is a request of yours, your dog(s) will not be kenneled. They will have full roam of my house and will have access 24/7 to the backyard via the doggy door.

“Super attentive, reliable, and informative. Did everything we asked and more, left the house sparkling and the dogs happy!”
