House Sitting University Place

About: Animals have always been an important part of our lives. We raised one of our dogs from an 8 week old puppy and adopted another from a shelter when she was estimated to be 1 to 2 years old, she was with us for over 17 years! We cared for them through every stage of life. That experience taught us the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and paying attention to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I’ll care for your furry family member with the same love and attention we gave our own. I currently work part time, which gives me flexibility for dog walks, drop in visits, and house sitting. My schedule varies, but I’m available many afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m active and genuinely enjoy long walks, hikes, and spending time outdoors, so whether your dog prefers a leisurely stroll or plenty of exercise, I’ll make sure they get the attention and activity they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I cared for my own two dogs for many years, raising one from a puppy and adopting the other from a shelter. I have experience caring for dogs through every stage of life, including senior dogs with changing needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home secure, provide regular updates and photos, and treat your pet with the same patience, love, and respect I gave my own dogs. Every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“Abby was wonderful!! Very communicative and followed everything we asked. She even did some training with our dog! Doggie seemed so happy in all the pictures too. Will definitely book her again!”

“Alaina was the absolute best! From the moment we met her for our meet and greet, our dogs were instantly comfortable and our hearts were at ease. She took great care of our 3 dogs from the littlest dog to our very large dog. Our older dog takes medication twice a day and she had no problem making sure that was taken care of as well. We came home to our house looking amazing and you could tell she took great care of it. We also got lots of photo updates which we appreciated so much. We can’t recommend her enough!”

“Evelyn is awesome. She has a great demeanor and is super kind and patient. Scout warmed up to her and really enjoyed her company. Highly recommend Evelyn!!”

Brad O.

“I would recommend Marikita to anyone! She house sat for my cat and dog. Both animals loved her. She made sure to stick to their usual routine and sent a bunch of updates and pictures. I don’t have a single complaint, she went above and beyond my expectations!”

“Ashley is amazing with our three high energy doggos. They love her! She takes pics and videos, trimmed our girlie's nails, and gives snuggles and scratches aplenty!”

“Alexis did a wonderful job taking care of the pups! She was very communicative theough the qhole process. I loved getting the pictures she would send and they always looked very happy! Thanks for taking such good care of our furry family!”

Tracie D.

“Liliana was great! She was very communicative and let me know what was going on. She gave me updates of our dogs along with photos. The house was in the same condition as we left it and I appreciate how caring and kind she was with our dogs. Her Osito came over to visit and he was very well behaved and got along great with our three dogs. I am happy she was able to watch our dogs while we were out of town.”

Dylan B.

“Alyssa is fabulous! She was very patient and loving with our crazy pups, spent ample time playing with and loving them, getting to know them. Very communicative and took great care of the house as well. Will definitely book again.”

Kylin F.

“We have a large fur family (4 dogs and 3 barn cats) and Hannah did a great job balancing time with them and making sure everyone was cared for. We received daily feedback and great photos. She watched over our house and pets and took care of everything!”

LeEtta S.

“Nathan took extra care with our very senior pup (14+, fragile condition) and they got along well during his overnight stay at our home. He’s very conscientious, read our instructions in advance and asked good questions to learn more or get clarity. We came home to a calm pup and tidy home. We hope we have Coco long enough to have Nathan sit with her again!”

Teresa I.

“At first, I was very nervous about finding a pet sitter who would take good care of my Lilly for several days while I was away. But as soon as I met Donelle, I knew Lilly would be more than well taken care of! Donelle sent me frequent updates, always responded to my messages promptly, and reached out whenever she had any questions or wanted to make sure Lilly was comfortable. She truly went above and beyond to ensure Lilly's well-being, and that gave me so much peace of mind while I was traveling! I would recommend Donelle 100% to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Lilly!”

Roberta L.

“Our dogs are usually skeptical and guarded around new people, but Alisha warmed them right up during her stay with them…so much so that they shared the bed with her the very first night! Right from the start, Alisha was reliable, professional, and trustworthy. She sent a couple of updates with photos every day and managed Kip’s medications wonderfully! We came home to very happy, relaxed pups and a spotless house. She definitely went the extra mile! We will definitely book with Alisha again!”

Beth C.

“Kayla was right on time to dog sit for us and her communication was great! Our dog loved her. It’s such a relief not to worry when we go out. Thank you!”

Tracey M.

“Emma did a great job with Millie. She sent pictures and texts to keep me updated which made me feel more comfortable leaving my elderly Diva. I will definitely book her again.”

Kay Z.

“This the second time Tricia has cared for our cat, and I can’t say enough about what she does. When we had a schedule issue, she was so considerate and willing to accommodate! I know our cat is as happy having Tricia at home with him, as he is with us being there! Five stars and a huge “Thank you!!”.”

“Kari is great, and we know our animals are in good hands when she’s around. We appreciate her honesty and communication while she cares for our boys!”
