House Sitting in Todd Valley

“Nancy house sat with our two Boston Terriers for a week. This was the second time we hired her and once again we are happy with her work. Our dogs seem happy too! The house was left tidy and she kept us updated with pictures along the way. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing we could count on her with our girls! We recommend her services. Thanks again Nancy!”

“This is already the third time this summer that Shayna has stayed with our high-spirited Jack Russell terrier. It’s such a relief to be able to get away knowing that our dog and our house are in excellent hands! I cannot give a high enough recommendation for Shayna. She is absolutely amazing!!”

“Louisa seems really good with the dogs and they seemed happy when I got home after a trip for a few days. She stayed at my home with the pups and left the house very tidy with the poop picked up. I would book her again!”

“This was the longest trip we have taken, and been away from our dogs. Shelly did a great job, and when she had other things she needed to do, she had her daughter help out, which I believe worked out great! The dogs were very happy to see us return, but I feel they were taken very well care of, and we would definitely ask Shelley to come back. Thank you, Shelly!”

About: Hi there! I’m Alisa, a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter who adores spending time with dogs and cats. I specialize in making pets feel at ease and comfortable, no matter their temperament or needs. With my gentle approach and keen attention to detail, I ensure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, cuddles, or a walk in the park, I’m here to provide excellent care tailored to your pet’s unique personality. I understand how important your pets are to you, and you can trust that I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Let’s work together to make sure your best friend has a positive and stress-free experience while in my care! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to learn more about your pet and their needs! I work remotely and therefore can spend time with your pets at your home. This provides a steady presence for your precious animal(s) while you're away, and also ensures ongoing time to feed, walk, play, and cuddle with your pets. I am a trusted housesitter, having cared for many animals over the years (both my own and others).

About: I started taking care of friends' and neighbors' dogs after retiring in 2024. My lifelong love for cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes is now my daily passion! As an active retiree, I don't have any pets currently, and the house is empty and waiting for my next furry friend! I've cared for everything from dachshunds to a Bernese Mountain Dog. I love cats, but I want to watch them in your home, not mine. Happy to house-sit, work overnight shifts, and care for senior dogs and puppies. Although I don't have a fenced yard, I do have miles of walking trails and parks in the community, as well as an electronic fence for any dogs that need unrestricted access to a yard. I am fully retired and spend my days caring for your pets. Rarely will your important pet be left alone, if at all. I used Rover with my senior dog, Tucker, for over 5 years and met some wonderful people. It was a relief to me when I traveled, knowing my best friend was also enjoying his time in a safe, loving home. Now I meet new animal friends every week, and it feeds my soul and theirs. Your fur baby will have a dedicated sleeping space, feeding space, and unlimited access to our yard, depending on your needs. Full access to the entire house. I encourage you to bring toys, pet beds, crates, and any other items that will make your cherished pet comfortable. We are comfortable giving medication to older dogs, working with young puppies, and customizing our days to fit your pet's regular routines (such as walks, feeding, medication, and brushing). We have access to a private dog park, but we only go there after discussing it with you in advance. Note: we have an unfenced yard but use sound/ vibration to alert your pup if s/he is trying to escape. No electricity involved, just moderate stimulation. Most dogs learn the boundaries very quickly and without any discomfort.

“Dayton is the dog sitter and person we have been hoping for and waiting for. She arrived right on time, and immediately connected with Tuli our German Shepherd. IYKYK how loud and scary a German Shepherd's bark can be when someone new arrives in her/our domain. Dayton was nonplussed, and Tuli felt totally comfortable with her instantaneously. Additionally, Dayton is a very kind, caring person and someone we will from now on ask to care for Tuli.”

About: I’ve grown up primarily with large dogs, those dogs smaller alongside feline friends as cared for by my grandfather and I before his passing. Educating and reinforcing the significance of proper animal care in my calling to love on these furry friends with responsibility and compassion! I’m very flexible, just communicate your preferences and needs as I’ll happily make them happen in order to properly provide service to our furry friends! Providing service at the clients home looks like keeping up with a clean environment, annual check ups via phone with the owner while always remaining alert to the animal’s needs.

“Alex was so amazing staying at the house with my dog! She sent lots of updates and was extremely flexible when my travel plans were delayed and she had to stay an extra night. I will definitely be using Alex again!”

About: Hello! I’ve been loving and caring for local pets for around 25 yrs. Some pets were young pups and kittens; some were older seniors. I specialize in petsitting at my clients homes. My longest pet sitting job was 3.5 weeks while the owners were in Italy. I have many referrals. I’ve taken care of miniature horses, Friesian horses, and a pig. (We have a lot of rural homes in Auburn area). I’m retired from a construction accounting job. We’re gladly at home most days! My shedule is flexible; if you have an emergency need for pet sitting, I’m your gal. I prefer to petsit at my client’s homes. The animals rather appreciate this. I like to meet the animal(s) before sitting so when I arrive, we have a connection. I give the animals plenty of one-on-one attention. This may include doggy massage to calm them and get to know them. Lots of walks if they like that. Potty Breaks every couple of hours to begin with, as they’re sometimes nervous or have stomach upsets. I’d like to know your favorite names for them, what your routines are, rituals, their favorite things to do. I’ve also stayed with animals after their surgeries to monitor when the owner has to work.

“Would 100% rehire. Took fantastic care of my animals and even my garden. Very communicative, and sent pictures of my babies throughout the week while I was gone.”

About: AKC certified in puppy training, socialization, breeding health and more I have a professional background in dog care through all stages of life. As I have recently lost my two doggos loving and caring for your dog would truly be a fulfilling experience for me. Working with dogs quickly became my passion when I entered the field years ago. I am often acknowledged for my empathy for animals and ability to notice and address medical concerns, skin conditions, allergic reactions and hygiene needs. I specialize in dog whelping, neonatal puppy care. I have vast variety of areas I have become very knowledgeable, and always eagerly continuing education. Dog grooming and training are large parts of my work as well and all of these roles are ones that I truly enjoy doing. Your dog will be treated with compassion by someone with an educated and experienced background. I have a flexible schedule and can work with you given enough notice. I currently work with a couple of kennels helping with care for many dogs of all ages. I love to spend my time grooming and training. I have grown side by side with and often times birthed the dogs I work with. I am incredibly passionate about what I do and am committed to the dogs I work with. Please give as much notice as possible before requesting to book with me as I cannot always guarantee availability. If you do need to reschedule or cancel, please provide as much notice as possible. I own a home on a quarter acre lot with a dog that has served multiple dogs very well over the last almost 15 years. The backyard is dog proofed and provides tons of space for physical activity. I am very conscious of foxtail prevention and ensuring a safe setting. It is incredibly important to me to make sure there is no potential risk of exposure to toxic plants or chemicals. Proper cleanliness and sanitization is a very high priority of mine.

“Nicole is very responsible, and respectful. This is our first time having her at the house with our Addie dog, we have booked her for an upcoming longer trip, and there’s no doubt she will do a great job! Thanks Nicole.”

About: I've never had a period longer than a year where there weren't at least 2 dogs living in my house. I've walked them, brushed them, fed them, gave them water, the whole shebang. Big and small dogs are both welcome I work at Domino's often in the afternoons and evenings, but will always make sure your dog(s) have what they need beforehand and will be there at night for any late-night "issues" I'm probably going to spoil your dog with attention, making sure he or she is always happy amd content when I am there, and will always make sure there is food, water, and bathroom time

“House looked great and dogs were good! Kept me updated.”
