House Sitting Up the Grove Beach

“Michelle is an actual angel sent from heaven! We have tried a few different dog sitters for our 4-year old golden/lab mix Winston, and Michelle is by far the best. It can be hard to trust someone to love and care for your baby when you're away, but Michelle makes it easy! She sent a bunch of updates about Winston's day at least once a day, took him to doggie daycare every other day, gave him a bunch of love and attention, and left our house in even-better-than-we-left-it condition. Michelle was very communicative and asked about all the details of Winston's routine/care/our home. You can tell that she genuinely cares about your pup. Highly recommend, we will definitely be booking with her again for our future needs!!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hailey did an amazing job caring for our home and pets while we were away for four days and three nights. From the start, she was professional, dependable, and easy to communicate with, which gave us great peace of mind during our trip. Our pets were clearly well cared for and received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Hailey kept us updated while we were away, and it was reassuring to know everything was going smoothly. When we returned home, our pets were happy and relaxed, and our house was clean, secure, and well maintained. Hailey went above and beyond our expectations and treated both our home and pets as if they were her own. Her rates were very fair, especially considering the outstanding level of care and service she provided. We highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring house and pet sitter. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Hailey!”

“We were so happy to have Amber stay at our home and watch our dog while we were away. She walked her every morning and sent us updates throughout our trip. It was so nice not having to worry about a thing while we were on vacation!”

“Mackenzie has been amazing to work with. She kept our fur baby very happy and loved while we were away. She is very easy to communicate with and prompt to keep the pets schedule. She was also sure to send pictures and reassure us that everything was going well. It was a huge blessing to keep our pup in his own home and have someone trustworthy like Mackenzie to stay with him.”

Emily P.

“Wow, she is fantastic. She helped with working with our 2 year old Keeshond who is such a broker. Following her advise we have been able to cut down on the amount of barking by 50%. She kept us up to date with photos and text on our pup. And best of all you could not tell she had been. there, the house was cleaner then when we left. Already have her booked for future dates.”

“Lillie housesit and pet sit for my two cats. She is very conscientious and was adaptable to some last minute changes to my schedule. She arrived on time and brought everything she needed for her stay. I felt very confident about leaving her in my home taking care of Spencer and Shelby. She cleaned out their litter boxes (all three of them!) - a pleasant surprise, as I hadn’t asked her to. Very satisfied with her.”

About: I've owned and been training dogs since I was little. I have had 2 dogs on my own and pets throughout my life. My first job was a self-created pet sitting business when I was in 5th grade. I offered services to local families in my neighborhood. I have watched over reptiles, canines, felines, and multiple breeds of dogs including aggressive breeds. I am a compassionate person and pride myself on taking care of all pets as if they were my own while operating by the golden rule. You can feel safe when you leave your animals with me. I take my own dog out for potty breaks roughly every two to three hours and take her along with me on walks and runs in the community. I plan to pet sit as a Side gig while i am looking for jobs in finance, marketing automation, email marketing and interviewing remotely in Port Saint Lucie Florida I have taken care of all types of dogs, big small and in between. I grew up with pets and have one of my own named Roxy. She is 13 and has some dietary and medical routines that I have to stick to to keep her healthy and happy

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet I watch. I will take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and favorite activities so they feel comfortable and loved while their family is away. I’m dependable, patient, communicative, and I will keep pet parents updated with photos and messages. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, walks when needed, and plenty of attention and affection. In my home I am the camp counselor and treat dealer. Making sure everyone gets their tummy’s fed, enough playtime and fresh air , all while keeping a tidy home.

“Natalie is always on time, attentive, and treats our pups like they're her own. She also sends a TON of pictures and keeps us up to date and feeling confident with their care. We will 100% be calling her for work on the regular.”

“This was the first time for us to use Glenn to watch our Dog Moose. What a great guy! Moose ended up being sick and his concern and care was amazing. Moose could not have been in better hands! You definitely cannot go wrong if you choose him to watch your four legged babies.”

About: Why My Care is Different What sets me apart is the peace of mind that comes with hiring a professional veterinary technician with approximately eight years of experience. My background is rooted in high-stakes environments, including emergency medicine and overnight clinical supervision, which allows me to provide a level of medical oversight that goes far beyond standard pet sitting. Whether your pet is a healthy ball of energy or a senior requiring complex care, I bring clinical precision and a calm, expert perspective to every visit. Specialized Pet Care Expertise Emergency & Critical Care Experience: Having worked in emergency medicine and supervised overnight shifts, I am trained to remain calm under pressure and identify subtle clinical signs of distress before they become crises. Medical Proficiency: I am highly skilled in administering a wide range of medications and treatments, ensuring your pet’s health regimen stays perfectly on track while you are away. Fear Free Certified Professional: I prioritize your pet's emotional well-being by utilizing Fear Free techniques designed to reduce the stress, restricted movement, and anxiety often associated with handling and care.

Advanced Hygiene Standards: I maintain a clinical level of cleanliness, particularly with litter box maintenance and habitat sanitation, understanding that a pristine environment is the foundation of animal health. Professional Services: In addition to sitting, I provide professional nail trims and dremel services and can offer pet bathing and shaving. How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine My life is centered around animal care, both professionally and personally. Here is how pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine: Professional Integration: As a veterinary technician with approximately eight years of experience, including emergency medicine and overnight supervision, pet care is the core of my daily professional life. Home & Play Space: I live on 3 acres of property, providing a massive, secure space for plenty of outdoor play and enrichment. Personal Experience: I am a dedicated pet owner myself, caring for my own dogs and cats. Flexible Relief Shifts: I utilize the Roo platform for veterinary technician relief shifts, which allows me to balance clinical work with dedicated pet sitting. My approach to safety and environment is rooted in professional clinical standards and a deep commitment to the emotional well-being of every animal. Whether I am providing care in your home or welcoming a pet to mine, my goal is to create a secure, low-stress atmosphere where health and happiness are the top priorities. Care in Your Home When visiting your home, I bring the observational skills of a veteran veterinary technician to every shift. Medical Vigilance: With eight years of experience in emergency medicine and overnight supervision, I am trained to monitor for subtle changes in behavior or health that could indicate an underlying issue. Fear Free Environment: I utilize Fear Free techniques to ensure that all interactions—especially tasks that can be stressful, like nail trims—are handled with patience and positive reinforcement. Cleanliness & Hygiene: I maintain a clinical standard of sanitation. I take pride in deep-cleaning litter boxes and keeping pet areas pristine, as a clean environment is essential for disease prevention and overall comfort. Security Protocols: I am meticulous about home security, ensuring doors and gates are properly locked and your home is respected exactly as you left it. Care in My Home For pets visiting my home, I offer a professional-grade environment designed for both safety and fun. Spacious & Secure Play: I live on 3 acres of property, offering ample room for supervised outdoor exercise, enrichment, and play. Professional Oversight: Your pet is never just "staying" at a house; they are under the care of a professional veterinary technician capable of administering any necessary medications or treatments. Socialization & Comfort: Pets in my care enjoy a home environment alongside my own dogs and cats. I am always mindful of individual temperaments to ensure every animal feels safe and integrated. Emergency Preparedness: Because of my extensive background in emergency clinics, I am prepared to act decisively and calmly in the rare event of a medical emergency.

“Madison did an excellent job. I would definitely recommend her. She was very responsible, sent us updates and photos, and went above and beyond what was asked. She even made a banana bread with some bananas that had gone brown!”

About: I have actually received many positive reviews for the sitting I have done up to this point, 4 years professionally and a lifetime of experience too! I have mostly had furred and some feathered pets, and have watched them for people I know in their homes too. I've done lots of official sits the past few years, and have been invited back for repeat sits several times. I'm conscientious and organized etc. by nature, and also have a calm presence that most pets quickly warm up to. I've taken care of indoor, outdoor and indoor/outdoor pets before, and am good with doors and keeping them where they need to be. I've also been recommended for other sits, and have had many others reach out to me for sits. I've also done a few sits without even having to meet the owners, like if they needed to take off or needed me to fill in as a replacement, so that's always an option if it ever comes down to it. I've even obliged when the first pick ahead of me falls through, which is no bother for me and probably ends up for the best anyway! My first 15 reviews shown here are just some of the many actual sitting-related reviews I've received over the past few years. I am flexible in general and can accommodate most any pet care requirements and scenarios. And feeding as well as play times and so forth. I am very good with doors and keeping pets contained and where they need to be. I am also attentive and enjoy giving pets attention.

“Jessica truly is a 10/10! She is reliable, communicative, responsible, and she showered my dogs and cats with endless love during her stay. Jessica sent me updates and photos each day! It was extremely comforting to know that my fur babies were in good hands while I was away! She also kept everything very clean for the animals and made my house extra tidy for my return (even took out the garbage she used, which was not necessary …but it highlights the attention to detail and care she has). I will be using her for future bookings and would happily refer her to my friends and family! I highly recommend!”

About: Humans don’t deserve the unconditional love that dogs give. I promise to do what I can to give TLC back! It would bring me great joy and pleasure to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. As someone who grew up with dogs my entire life, I will always love your pet as if he/she is my own. I know no other way! I understand the importance of meeting every dog where they are. Each animal has their own personality and style, and I know how to adapt to meet those needs and wants. Big or small, old or young - I understand the dedication and commitment required to look after your precious pet, and I look forward to spreading my love and care to them. I am usually around on the weekends. As a law student, my schedule during the week is variable. I have a full-time job this summer, so my services may be limited to early mornings and evenings/nights during that period. I have a puppy named Lucy, so I am extremely conscious of how important safety and supervision is. I defer to, and abide by, every owners’ requests.
