House Sitting in Union Lake

“Isabella is very considerate and does everything to make you and your pet feel comfortable while under her care. I highly recommend Isabella!”

James S.

“Highly recommend Brea. She took great care of our dog! Gave him lots of love and attention. Sent pictures and periodic updates even though we were only gone for one night.”

Megan S.

“Ashlee has stayed with my puppies before and is wonderful. Took out the trash and recycling bins even though I forget to ask her. She also washed her sheets and made the bed. Wow! And all that aside, she's great with my rather rambunctious puppies. She's definitely a sweetie and a keeper, as the pups love her, too.”

Carol C.

“We had a good experience with Lauren for overnight with our 2 dogs and 1 cat. I can only say I wish there were a few more updates throughout, but absolutely no issues. Thank you, Lauren”

“Grace is awesome! Took great care of Daisy on very short notice. Was professional and kept a good eye on Daisy and kept her active with lots of photos. Can’t recommend Grace highly enough!!”

About: Hi! I’m Katherine — a professional pet sitter with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and small animals. Pet care is my full-time work, and your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priority. I’m known for being reliable, communicative, and calm, even with shy, senior, or medically complex pets. ⸻ 🐱 Cat Care I have decades of experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, including seniors and special-needs cats. I understand that many cats thrive on consistency and quiet routines, and I tailor each visit to their individual comfort level. I’m comfortable with: • Oral medications and pill administration • Eye drops and topical medications • Litter box care and monitoring output • Senior cat support and gentle handling • Multi-cat households • Shy or anxious cats who need patience and time I take care to follow your cat’s routine closely — including feeding preferences, hiding spots, play style, and comfort needs — so they can stay relaxed while you’re away. ⸻ 🐶 Dog Care I also provide attentive dog care with an emphasis on calm, structured visits. Experience includes: • Drop-in visits and potty breaks • Leash walking and basic training reinforcement • Puppies and senior dogs • Multiple-dog households ⸻ 🏥 Special Skills & Safety • Experience with senior pets and medical needs • Comfortable transporting pets to the vet in case of emergency • Familiar with pet CPR concepts and emergency response • Careful attention to dietary restrictions, allergies, and instructions • Detailed visit updates so you always know how your pet is doing ⸻ 🕒 Availability & Reliability • Flexible schedule with availability for daily drop-ins • Punctual, dependable, and consistent • Comfortable with short-notice requests when possible • Meet-and-greets always welcome I treat every home and pet with respect, and my goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away. ⸻ A Note About Boarding While I have a fenced yard and a friendly resident dog, I am not currently offering boarding. This may be an option in the future. I’m currently focused full-time on Rover, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling. I take recurring visits, vacation care, and most drop-in requests. Feel free to reach out so we can find a schedule that works well for you and your pets. In your home, I’m careful about: • Preventing door escapes by entering and exiting slowly and deliberately • Securing doors, gates, crates, and harnesses before and after walks • Following all household routines exactly as outlined • Keeping doors and spaces as I found them For cats specifically: • Extra care around entryways to prevent bolting • Checking closets, cabinets, and enclosed spaces before closing doors • Monitoring litter box habits and alerting owners if anything seems off • Keeping play areas free of potentially unsafe items For dogs: • Double-checking leashes, harnesses, and equipment (especially for escape artists) • Respecting boundaries such as baby gates or restricted areas • Ensuring a calm, controlled environment during visits and walks I keep detailed notes and send regular photo updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. I also take pride in leaving your home clean, secure, and just as you left it. Your pet’s safety — and your peace of mind — always come first.

“Judy provided great communication the entire trip and ensured my dog got the correct medications. She left the house clean and it gave me peace of mind knowing Judy was at home with my dog.”

About: I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have an animal in my life. From shepherds to terriers, I have experience with large, medium, and small dogs. I also have experience caring for cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve trained my own dogs, cared for foster puppies, and have experience handling pets with different needs and temperaments. I’m very open to feedback, learn quickly, and always strive to provide the best care possible. When you book with me, you can expect meaningful, attentive, and reliable care for your pet. Your fur baby will have my full attention, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. Rain or shine, I will show up and give every pet the patience, attention, and care they deserve! Over the summer I am working fully from home. Which means I have an open schedule to care for your pets. I am open from morning to night. I can do daily visits, weekly visits, and more. When house sitting for your pets, I prioritize a respectful and responsible approach. I value clear boundaries in my own life, so I make it a point to treat your home and privacy with that same high level of integrity. I’m fully open to your specific rules and feedback, and I’ll keep you connected with consistent updates so you never have to wonder how things are going.

“Mallory did a great job taking care of our dog. She also communicated with us the entire time.”

About: I have been an animal lover since a young age. I have a three year old puppy that loves other dogs. I have pet sat and boarded many dogs and they were nothing less than spoiled! I live on a lake so if your dog loves the water it will have the time of its life, if not, that’s okay too! I am very active so walks can happen frequently. If you are interested in boarding with me I require that your dog is house trained (exception for puppies because they are learning and I can work with that), good with dogs, and doesn’t mind kids nearby. I currently work at a daycare 3 days out of the week from 8AM-6PM with an hour long break that I will use to spend time with your pet! But, my weekends are completely open! In my clients home I would care for their pets the exact way that they do and how they instruct me to do so! :)

“I will DEFINITELY use Josiah as often as possible! He followed all my instructions and my dog absolutely loved him. My beagle suffers from separation anxiety, and it's hard to find someone who not only compassionately understands his needs, but also with whom my dog feels comfortable and secure! When I arrived home, my dog was sleeping at Josiah's side. I think I finally found a perfect match!”

“Samantha was great! I am pretty sure our dogs were sad to see us come home:-) They had trail walks, pup cups and lots of love. Samantha stayed for 3 nights and my house was kept in good order. We will definitely use Samantha again.”

“Kristy took great care of Lucy, she sent pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing. It was nice not to worry and be able to enjoy my time away. She respected all my rules and took really good care of my home.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have been caring for them my whole life. I regularly pet sit for my brother’s three dogs regularly, giving me hands on experience with different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also walked and cared for friends and neighbors dogs, and my experience with shy or anxious animals means I know how to help every dog feel safe and comfortable. On top of that, I have animal nutrition education and pet care first aid & CPR training, so you can trust your dog is in knowledgeable, loving hands. I run my own cat food business and go to the gym daily, which gives me a consistent routine while still allowing me to provide dedicated care for pets. I schedule walks, playtime, and visits around my day so your pets always get reliable attention, exercise, and love. Whether it’s a mid day walk, a drop in, or an overnight stay, I make sure every animal in my care feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I do not host pets at my home, but I am happy to provide overnight stays at your home, where your pet can stay in a familiar, stress free environment.

About: I have watched dogs of all ages I used to live on a ranch and frequently our family friends would go hunting so I had to watch all the animals. Dogs,Cats,Chickens, and horses! The times I am unavailable is 8:30am-8pm Monday through Sunday. I am up very early in the morning so I can do walks or drop ins before 8:30am & after 8pm! I have one cat at home and she’s very friendly she loves cats and especially dogs. I can separate the pets based on what yours needs, friendly or not. My cat is very spoiled and has treats frequently. If you don’t mind I will spoil your pet just as much!

“Ashley came at short notice to fill in…. She did an outstanding job. We will def. Be hiring her again. Ashley is a great sitter, kind and timely!”

“Sarah took such amazing care of our dog, two cats, and home while we were out of town. She provided picture updates throughout the day. I didn’t have to worry at all about my babies while we were gone. Her communication was top notch. I will definitely use Sarah again!”

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, hamsters and fish for almost my entire life. I am very passionate about animals and would love to meet yours too! I’m looking for part time pet care to help take care of financial obligations. I’m willing to travel to you and don’t mind taking pets for walks. I never miss giving my cat Shiraz a full, healthy meal and making sure she is healthy and up to date on all of her vaccines.

About: I have owned dogs my whole life and have lots of experience of how to care for dogs, little or big! I would love to come help care for your dog! I definitely have time to come hangout with your dogs and give them as much activity as needed in the morning and in the afternoon for however long! I have a caged in area for all the dogs in my neighborhood and never let a dog out of my sight. I avoid other dogs no matter what the dogs behavior may look like just be cautious.

“Brooke was great! My house was in the exact order I’d left it and my cat seemed content and cared for! Hope she’s available for my next trip!”
