House Sitting in Van Buren

“Lee is the absolute best!!! My furry son loves her. I feel so comfortable with her taking care of my house while I’m gone. Jax can’t wait to see her again.”

“Maria is reliable, communicates clearly and often, and noted all the details we had left her to care for our pups. She handled them with care and learned each one’s nuances. The transition back home after our extended vacation was smooth and our pups were in step with their regular routine. We would highly recommend Maria to anyone!”

“Nora is truly exceptional, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She took care of my dogs, Lucy and Betty, and went above and beyond in every possible way. During her time with them, an unexpected and serious fight broke out—their first ever—and it was a terrifying situation. Nora handled it with incredible professionalism, calmness, and expertise. She acted immediately, knowing exactly what to do without hesitation, and managed the situation safely and responsibly. I was so grateful she was the one there in that moment. She even had a first aid kit on hand and was able to tend to their wounds right away, which gave me immense peace of mind. What meant just as much was her communication throughout the entire ordeal. She kept me informed every step of the way with clarity, compassion, and reassurance during what was a very scary time for all of us. Her thoughtfulness and transparency made an enormous difference. I trust Nora completely and wholeheartedly. She demonstrated not only skill and preparedness, but genuine care and dedication. Anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her looking after their pets. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking truly outstanding care for their furbabies.”

“Nicole was great with our dog Cassie. She followed our instructions for walking and feeding and sent plenty of pictures. The house was as clean as when we left. Cassie was happy to make a new friend and if Cassie's happy, we're happy. We will definitely use Nicole again.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience working with dogs of all personalities and needs, especially reactive dogs and strong pullers. I have completed training with my own reactive chocolate lab through Justin’s Canine Campus, along with continuing training work at home, which has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read dog behavior closely. As a teacher, I’m dependable, calm, and attentive, and I naturally bring those qualities into caring for pets. I’ve loved animals since I was young and also continue to volunteer at animal shelters (Helping Hounds & HumaneCNY) giving me experience with dogs who may need extra patience, structure, or reassurance. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As a teacher, I have summers off and will soon be working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, and quality attention. During the school year, I’m also an early bird and start my mornings with an average 2-mile walk with my own dog, so staying active and keeping pets on a routine is something I truly enjoy. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I try to keep pets on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure their space stays clean and that they feel calm while their owners are away.

“So grateful for John! Very understanding of the difficulties I had leaving my Luna for the first time like this - sent me multiple texts, pictures and videos assuring me she was doing well and happy. Very flexible with my schedule and made the point to come meet Luna ahead of time on a previous day. Very attentive to Luna's schedule and her specific little quirks. Luna clearly enjoyed her time, giving John a super speed tail wag and some kisses before we left.”

“Diana was amazing with my two Goldens (one 10 yo and the other 6 months). She kept me updated on how they were, was very responsive, and respectful of my house. I’d absolutely recommend her!”

“Rebecca was great, super communicative and flexible to make our schedules work for housesitting. Nacho is very happy and I would definitely rebook and recommend!”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, mostly dogs. I’ve owned my own dogs since I was 12, and I currently own a German shepherd and a Coton De Tulear. I consider myself a true animal enthusiast and I believe that caring for them is more than a chore, but something you need to be passionate about to give them the best care they deserve! HOUSE SITTING: I am available for full day visits (except Mon & Wed mornings + weekends) for dogs who need constant care ONLY. If your dog is fine being alone for the majority of the day, please book through my drop-in visits instead. Currently I am not doing overnight stays due to certain circumstances concerning my own pets. DROP-IN VISITS: For pets who are fine being on their own during the day but need check-in’s + playtime throughout. It’s all dependent on what my clients homes are equipped with! If you have a fenced yard and high energy dogs, I’m more than happy to take them outside to play and explore, or play inside. Treats are always an option, as are pets, cuddles, and plenty of love for your fur babies!

“Kaylah is very responsive and dependable. She did a great job with my very nervous rescue dog, putting my dog right at ease. We’re looking forward to having her back!”

“Adrianna stayed at our home to watch our two dogs at our cat while we were out of town for several days. She kept us updated daily with messages and pet photos, giving us great sense of peace that our home and pets were looked after. Thank you again for your wonderful service, Adrianna!”

Angela D.

“Kendra was so lovely to work with - she was friendly, understanding, and communicative. She was great about checking in with regular updates, and she took excellent care of our dogs and our home while we were away. Would definitely love to work with her again!”

About: Hi, I'm Brooke! I’m 19 years old and have been around animals my entire life. Growing up, I was never without a pet, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. My first cat, Hunter Patches, was a huge part of my life before he passed last year. Since then, I’ve welcomed two new cats, Loki and Marie, into my family. I also have a 10 year old rescue dog named Gunner and recently rescued a bearded dragon named Dino. I’m comfortable caring for cats, dogs, and reptiles, and I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, play with, check on, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I have a flexible routine and enjoy spending time feeding, playing with, walking, and giving attention to pets throughout the week. I will care for your pets like they’re my own by keeping them fed, comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their routines closely, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel calm and cared for in their home environment.

“Molly was fantastic! She communicated well, she sent daily updates, and our dogs seemed so happy with her stay. Can't recommend Molly enough!”

About: I am an experience animal care taker. I grew up on a farm with all sorts of wild and domesticated animals. I’ve worked with many families taking care of small-large pets including dogs and cats. I also worked at a dog daycare for 3+ years before perusing higher education. With my expertise I believe that your pet is in the safest hands possible. I’m currently working as a youth soccer coach and have the time for pet care in my schedule. Would love to take on the responsibility of taking care of those we love so much as it is a pleasure to be around animals. I live in an apartment with an enclosed outdoor space pets to get fresh air. I also have pet sitting camera for pet owners to check in how things are going.

About: I have experience in wildlife rehabilitation, zookeeping, managing horses. I’m comfortable doing most basic animal care for a variety of animals and happy to learn about anything I haven’t had experience with. Dogs, cats, reptiles, hoofstock, poultry and so on! My schedule is fairly flexible with some notice. Available early mornings, late nights and in between. I am happy to adjust my schedule based on each animal’s routine and needs. I am attentive and observant of each animal’s needs and routines. Happy to follow specific schedules and tasks to adhere to their normal care standards. While I do have a yard, it is unfenced so dogs go out on a leash unless they have exceptional recall. Often joking or walks around the neighborhood. All animal’s are crated or otherwise contained when left alone for short periods and always separated at feeding times.

“Riley was fantastic! Kept in great touch, sending pictures and letting us know what the animals were up to. It was a great relief to be able to have him at the house staying with our dogs and cat so they were less stressed. Would definitely use Riley again!”

“Yelitza was a top-notch, superb dog sitter through and through! She is a lovely person and took such great care of our doggies and home. Our pups loved her, and she sent frequent lovely updates. Highly recommended!”
