House Sitting in Townsville

“Monica was amazing with our two dogs! She came for a meet and greet and I could instantly tell she knows how to handle dogs by her interactions with them. Monica was very friendly and easy to communicate with. She really tried to let the dogs stick to their normal routine as much as possible. She hung out and played with them. This was the first time we've had someone stay at our house to watch the dogs and we felt very comfortable with Monica there. We will be using her again for a longer stay! Thank you Monica!”

“A+++ Harley was knowledgeable and mature, caring and trustworthy! We could not have found anyone more qualified to pet/house sit for us. There was not one moment of concern while we were away as to whether or not our pets were in good hands. She communicated every day with photos and messages showing how happy they were. We couldn't be more grateful for her service, her time and her attention shown in loving our dogs as if they were her own.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life since I was a kid. I love dogs and my whole family is very dog friendly. I currently have two of my own dogs, Blizzard my 5 year old Goldendoodle and Boomer my 8 year old Beagle. These guys are my best friends! Since rescuing my Goldendoodle Blizzard, I’ve also learned to bathe & groom him, a special skill that takes practice and patience. I work from home, so I am able to take care of the dogs and be very flexible with their walking, feeding and bathroom needs. At my house, dogs are welcome on the furniture and on the bed at night but I will respect other owners obedience/rules while caring for their dogs. We have a lot of the room in the house which even has a fun room with toy mountain, a collection of hundreds of dog toys that everyone is welcome to play with! I have a big backyard but it is not fenced in. Instead, I prefer to walk the dogs on leashes/leads or attach them to the dog-run line I have running across the backyard for playtime! I would love the opportunity to watch your dog(s) and can be flexible with short-term or long-term stays plus other accommodations. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own and give them a lot of love and care for their entire stay! I work from home, therefore I can accommodate many different types of schedules based on a dogs needs. Frequent walks, feeding or medication is no challenge throughout each day/night. Any dog who comes to stay with us will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Same goes if I am to come care for your dogs at your home. They will get plenty of love and attention with play-time and companionship!

About: Let me provide your dog with a home away from home :) — I treat every pup like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, or just some snuggles, I try to match their personality and needs. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds — from high to low energy. I’m big on routines, communication, and making sure pet parents never feel out of the loop. You’ll always get updates and pictures so you can see how your pup’s doing. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is happy, cared for, and in good hands. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pup throughout the day. I can do multiple walks a day, stick to your preferred schedule, and give your dog lots of attention and playtime. I live in a very walk-friendly neighborhood with a large dog park, which is perfect for getting in some fresh air and exercise! I only board potty-trained dogs to keep things clean and comfortable for everyone. I do have a medium-sized crate available if you prefer your dog to have their own space at night instead of free roaming. My main priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. I make sure they get the care, love, and attention they need in a calm and comfortable environment.

“Our dog is very active but Caroline kept up and did a great job!”

Gail S.

“Raven was/is PHENOMENAL!!!! My fur babies warmed up to her immediately @ the meet and greet. Her demeanor is very calm and professional. She followed all instructions, called when clarity was needed, communicated regularly with photos and videos, extended her stay at my request, talked to the neighbors when their dog put a small hole in the fence and kept my house crystal clean. I get anxious everytime I leave them, Raven gave me peace of mind...She is truly one of the best sitters, I will DEFINITELY be calling upon her again.”

Shar O.

“Caroline and Gavin took such good care of our fur babies while we were away. We appreciate their communication with us and we could tell from pictures our dogs were happy and cared for. Thank you both!!”

“Destiny watched our two adult dogs and stayed at our house. She was very proactive and thorough with her communication and extremely respectful of our home. We would gladly use Destiny for sitting services again!”

Cameron S.

About: I’ve always grown up around animals in a big, loving family that treats pets like family members, so caring for them has always come naturally to me.

I genuinely love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality.

Because of my flexibility, I can often accommodate different routines and make pet care a genuine priority. Your pet’s comfort and safety are extremely important to me. I understand how important trust is when someone else is caring for your furry family member, so I always aim to provide dependable, loving, and attentive care. In your home, I will respect your space, carefully follow all instructions, and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and behavior to make sure pets feel secure and happy. I believe in gentle care, patience, and creating a positive experience so both pets and owners feel confident and at ease.
