House Sitting Tijeras

“This was the first time we have used Rover, and our selected dog-sitter was wonderful with our one year old border collie mix rescue—Boots. She came over for a meet and greet, kept Boots happy with walks, fetch games and companionship, and kept the house neat. We would happily engage her again and highly recommend her to others.”

“August was absolutely wonderful throughout this process. His love for animals is apparent. I was so comfortable on my vacation knowing my pets were well taken care of. I will absolutely be using August for any future trips.”

“Shelby was great! She stayed in communication and notified me when she arrived and daily updates while we were gone. Our pup loved her and enjoyed her time under her care.”

About: As a pet parent to three cats and an experienced pet sitter, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routines, and comfort level. For years, I've cared for pets through friends, family, and client referrals, providing personalized care for everything from energetic pets to shy, anxious animals who need extra patience and understanding. I also have experience caring for rescue and traumatized dogs who are fearful of humans, creating a calm, predictable environment where they can feel safe and secure. Whether I'm caring for a puppy, a senior cat, or small pets like sugar gliders, geckos, or ferrets, I adapt my approach to each pet's individual needs. For some house-sitting bookings, my husband may join me during portions of the stay and will accompany me to all initial meet-and-greets. Many clients appreciate the extra set of helping hands with pet-related chores and yard cleanup at no additional cost, while I remain responsible for all pet care, communication, and daily routines. If you would prefer that the booking be handled solely by me, I'm always happy to accommodate that request. My hybrid work schedule allows me to spend much of the day with the pets in my care, providing companionship, consistency, and plenty of attention while you're away. My goal is always to help your pets feel comfortable, maintain their normal routines, and receive the same level of care and respect I would want for my own. When caring for pets in your home, my top priorities are safety, emotional comfort, and respect for their home environment. I strictly honor every pet’s personal boundaries, double-check secure entries (doors, gates, and leashes), and closely follow feeding and care instructions to keep routines seamless. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, so I provide regular photo and text updates to keep you informed and give you peace of mind while you're away.

“Quinn was very responsive and easy to communicate with. He was also flexible in setting up a time to do a meet and greet before we left. The dogs were well taken care of and the house was in excellent shape upon our return. Quinn was very thoughtful and tidy and even started laundry for his bedding and towels before we got home.”

“Was absolutely spectacular! Kept me up to date with everything. Was quick to respond to communication. I can't say how much I appreciate her being able to do this last minute!”

About: Welcome to my pet sitting page! I'm a life long animal caregiver and owner. I have owned rescued dogs to the more exotic pets in my 24 years of animal care experiences. I have experience with puppies/puppy training and those dogs of many grey hairs (senior) who may need a little extra support. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule. I have the ability to provide pet services during the day or night most days of the week. Our beautiful mountain home sits on 2 acres of land. 1 fully fenced acre with high fencing and dog door access 24/7. If your furry friend DIGS UNDER or has history of ESCAPING fencing I will not be able to accommodate their stay. The property is natural mountain landscape (no cement or asphalt). I have one younger dog named Mackie to keep your pups company if boarded. She has a friendly and playful disposition along with a calm demeanor in the home good for any visiting dog.

“Vince was wonderful, highly recommend! He took great care of our chickens, goats, dogs and cats! Our dogs clearly missed him and were looking around the house for him when we got back.”

Yarrow A.

“We were out of town when our dog sitter called and she had to go to the hospital. Jamie and Patrick stepped up big time and saved our vacation. I was so worried about my dogs and I was so far away from them, but she assured me not to worry she had it covered. She took exceptional care of my dogs and baked me a pie! They are absolute life savers!!”

Jenna R.

“Tessa did a fantastic job with my three dogs. She communicated daily and sent pictures which was reassuring. She was responsive to my requests to help with watering plants and bringing in mail. I will definitely book Tessa again. She is a wonderful dog & house sitter!”

Carrington T.

“Arman was absolutely wonderful. He provided great care for our large Akita. Arman walked our dog Max regularly. He fed Max and gave him his medication on schedule and Arman provided us with regular updates and photos. I highly recommend Arman F. !”

Lewis M.

“Kienna is super sweet and took great care of our dogs! She was easy to communicate with and responsive to messages. I would recommend her to anyone!”

Myelle H.

“Laurie is amazing! She is such a great communicator and made the whole process super stress-free. Ellie really loved her too and seemed almost sad it was me walking thru the door and not Laurie!”

Liz L.

“Mikayla has been wonderful with my grumpy, old pupper! She has been really responsive to my messages, and made me feel very comfortable being away from him.”

Lauren E.

“Greg was just as fantastic as I expected him to be. He treated my dear canines as if they were his own. He came back to return our key and was greeted enthusiastically by all three, which is the absolute best review I think anyone here could receive. I more travel planned later this year and Greg is at the top of my list for taking care of my furry, four-legged kids when that time comes.”

Katy C.

“Janelle is an outstanding pet sitter! She made us comfortable for our first time using a pet sitter by meeting with us, answering questions, advising us on how we could prepare for emergencies, and sending us daily updates on our cat. Janelle went above and beyond to provide information about our cat’s behavior and activity while we were away, and she took care of our home while we were away too. Our cat was calm, happy, and healthy when we returned. We and our cat highly recommend Janelle! ❤️??”

About: My Love for Animals & Experience As a child, I was raised in a home filled with cats, dogs, and birds. My mother was the first person to teach me the importance of caring for animals, showing compassion, and lending a helping hand to those in need. Through her, I developed a deep love and intuitive sense for animals. I've had the opportunity to help rescue and/or care for & nurture animals such as puppies, kittens, dogs, and cats from a young age. As I grew older and began having animals and experiences of my own, I carried those same values with me. My passion for animals has remained a constant throughout my life. I genuinely cherish their unique personalities, companionship, and the different ways that they communicate with us. About 13.5 years ago, I rescued my Chihuahua, Ivory, and nursed her back to health. That experience taught me so much about trusting my intuition, mutual trust, respect, patience, compassion, and the importance of gentle, attentive care. Ivory wasn't just a dog, she was my best friend; we grew up and went through so many different phases of life together. Although she passed away a year and a half ago, the bond we shared will always hold a special place in my heart. She taught me so much about myself. With that said, every animal I care for brings me so much joy and much needed heart medicine. I genuinely strive to make a positive impact with Ivory's memory and Spirit walking beside me. I also have experience caring for ducks, and have spent time around horses through my experience with equine therapy. Wolves, dogs, and horses are among my spirit animals! Overall, being able to spend time with other people's animal companions and help care for them is something that brings me genuine joy. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, help with walking, a little extra TLC, or attentive everyday care, I approach each animal with patience, empathy, and an appreciation for their individual needs and personality. My goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. A Little About My Family I am a single mother of three daughters, ages 9, 5, and 2. My children are being raised with a deep appreciation for nature and a genuine respect for animals and all living things. Each has her own personality: my oldest is naturally empathetic and caring, my middle daughter can be a little shy around animals at first but warms up with time, and my youngest is sweet and curious. They all love animals and are still learning how to interact with them respectfully. I also want to be transparent that, depending on the requested dates and times, particularly during after-school hours, I may occasionally need to bring my daughters with me. I do not currently have childcare available after school, and we primarily get around by bus and walking. For everyone's comfort and safety, I ask that clients booking services where my daughters may accompany me have pets who are comfortable around young children, friendly, and non-aggressive. Pets who are fearful, reactive, or uncomfortable around children may not be the best fit for these particular arrangements. I am experienced with pets that have anxiety and fear, but this would be better suited during early afternoon hours when I am by myself. I am always happy to discuss your pet's temperament and needs beforehand to make sure it's a good fit. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved animal companions. I understand that pets are family, and I would be honored to provide them with the same kindness, patience, and attentiveness that I would want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered!) family members! I am on a consistent schedule with my children during the week between waking up, getting them to school, and picking them up. Having a flexible schedule is a must when navigating my three daughters and their needs. I am able to assist between the hours of 9am to 3pm, depending on the location. This schedule is subject to change as we get more settled in our new home. As someone who values honesty, integrity, and sincerity, I am committed to providing the highest level of care for your pets. I adhere to all health, safety, and pet care instructions, guidelines, and procedures given to me by each client, ensuring that your pet's needs are met with the utmost attention. When you choose me to care for your pets in your home, you can expect a dedicated approach that prioritizes their comfort and well-being. I recognize that maintaining a consistent routine is vital for pets, so I follow their established schedule for feeding, walking, and playtime. My goal is to ensure your furry companions feel secure and loved while you’re away.

“Kat was amazing and very patient with our two little anxious dogs! She was communicative and left us messages throughout her stay. We highly recommend Kat!”

“Amaya is amazing! She's professional and courteous, communicates well, keeps things tidy, and is very flexible and understanding. Would absolutely use her again. Thanks, Amaya!”

Miranda M.

“Five stars as always! Rita is great with our girls and has been very helpful as our cat has been on some new medications recently. When we leave, we have peace of mind when Rita takes care of our pets. She comes when she says she will, takes photos, and communicates often. We are beyond glad that we met her.”
