House Sitting Van Buren

“Great communication, arrived for meet and greets & my dog immediately liked Jen. Pictures sent this morning. Would definitely have her back on our next trip.”

About: I am a dog and cat person. Mine are always spoiled and treated like they’re my children. I would treat yours with love and kindness too. I currently don’t have any dogs but have had different breeds over the years. I am a special education teacher, so special needs dogs I have a soft spot for and do have experience with. I have a 11 year old cat but he is gated off in his own section of the house. If your dog likes the couch, bed, music, tv, I can accommodate. I can also work with other special needs. So far this has been a blast getting to know your dogs. My repeat customers have become furry family members. They become very comfortable in my home very quickly. Please read the reviews. I am your dog's home away from home. Give me a call and let's see what I can do for you. Thank you. Starting August 12, 2024 I will be going back to school teaching. At that time I do not wish to take on new clients. My regular clients can still use me, but know that no one will be home from 8-3 during the week. I do not have a fenced yard at this time but will walk your dog leashed in my yard or neighborhood. Will provide playtime and comfort.

“The best sitter Akira has had! Took lots of cute photos and videos, good communication and also takes care of you furry baby as if it were his.”

“Josephine did a great job taking care of our senior dog and two cats. We got daily updates on how they were doing and came home to them happy and healthy. Highly recommend if you're looking for a house sitter!”

About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large, strong dogs and older pets needing a gentler pace and I’m completely comfortable adapting to each one’s needs. Over time, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and understanding behavior are, whether that means handling high-energy walks, reinforcing routines, or helping a nervous dog feel at ease. What sets me apart is that I don’t just walk or check in and leave—I take the time to build trust, give them attention, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care and pet sitting fit seamlessly into my schedule, allowing me to be flexible and dependable for both regular visits and last-minute needs. With more availability during the current season and upcoming summer, I’m able to offer consistent care, longer visits, and more time for walks, play, and attention. This flexibility benefits clients by ensuring their pets maintain a stable routine, get extra exercise, and receive reliable, attentive care while they’re away, especially during busy travel months. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I’m respectful of your space, dependable, and treat your home and pets with the same care I give my own. When pet sitting, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things stress-free. This typically includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks or litter box care, playtime or companionship, and any medications if needed. I also do quick check-ins around the home (like making sure everything is secure) and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep everything as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.

“Our first time using Rover and Kim and we are pleased. She kept in touch with us and updated us with pics. The boys did well with her. Will be repeat customers.”

“Kami was great. My dogs looked so happy with her. She stayed at my house and I felt so comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. She even put our trash out on trash day! Highly recommend!!”

About: I have had experience with doggos ever since I was a little kiddo. We had a Japanese Kai doggo up until recently and I have also had some part time jobs taking care of dogs for my friends and family. I will love your furry friend as my own! I am currently a full time college student in the school year and a part time college student in the summer. I work online and will have all the time in the world to play with your pets and take care of them! I live at a house with friendly neighbors but not a fenced in yard. We have trees on our property that shield the road from our house.

About: Friends & family often have me pet sit for them. I love both dogs & cats but have two cats of my own! My oldest cat is 16 years old and I take his health & care very seriously and willing to help others! For this summer I am working full time at a daycare Monday-Friday. I am open to checking in on your animals before I go to work at 8:30, if needed checking up on them during my break that is at 1, and I usually am off of work around 4:30. On the weekends I am a bartender & I work the hours of 9PM-2AM. Usually, if I am dog sitting I make sure they have had good enough time playing and they are taken care of before I go to work and if I am housesitting I come back right after I am done. This leaves me with the entire day to take care of your animals! I take care of kids for a living so I’m used to the demands of parents & these pets are your babies! Any special requests or anything that you would want me to do just communicate with me & I’m pretty easygoing. I will take care of your pets like they’re my own :)

“Breanne took very good care of my babies. She kept me updated every day and send pictures. Thank you very much.”

About: My years of experience is for professional experience. Years personal experience is well over 20. I’ve had pets all my life growing up from exotics to cats and dogs. Professionally I’ve been a pet groomer (can do small animals, dogs and cats) and a shift manager at a pet store where I was a pet specialist, dog groomer, and pet nutritionalist. I have experience with fish, dogs, cats, pocket pets (hamsters, rats, mice, Guinea pigs, rabbits ect.), reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, arachnids. I have certifications in pet grooming, animal body language, and pet care. Formerly a fear certified pet groomer (not activity grooming anymore but I plan to get that back). Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns you may have. I’m going to school full time all online so when pet sitting I am able to take my course work with me while I take care of your pets. I will follow all instructions, I have slip leads that I will use over the collars so that way if anything happens during walks outside there’ll be extra protection. I will pick up after your dog. Make sure water is available 24/7 and make sure feeding schedules are on time. I can also take care of exotic pets, fish, and I have an amazing green thumb! So even your plants will get the best care.

“Monica was truly incredible and one of the best experiences we’ve ever had with a pet sitter. She stayed in our home for four evenings caring for our 3 dogs, our cat, and even our fish, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. She sent consistent photo and text updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it easy to actually relax while we were away. She went above and beyond in so many ways that made a real difference. She washed her dishes, did the hand towels she used, took the time to get our cat’s fountain running again using somewhat tedious directions, and even handled cleaning up some unexpected basement flooding after a major storm. Everything was taken care of thoughtfully and without us having to worry. We came home to a house that looked and smelled incredible. It was spotless, organized, and she paid attention to the smallest details, like setting lights back exactly how we had left them. It genuinely felt like walking into a calm, cared-for space instead of coming home to a to-do list. This experience honestly felt so much better than having a friend or family member help out. There was no guilt, no worrying about being a burden, and no second guessing anything. Monica is clearly experienced and professional, and it shows in how smoothly everything was handled from start to finish. On top of everything else, she is just a genuinely kind, warm, and easy person to communicate with. I was honestly a little sad we didn’t get more time to be home and connect with her because she is such a joy to be around. We tried to make her feel welcome with snacks, cash, and a few small take-home gifts, but it still doesn’t feel like enough compared to the level of care she gave our home and our pets. Monica was truly a gift, and we will absolutely be rebooking with her any chance we get.”

“Natalie was the perfect sitter. Reliable and loving, I could tell the dogs enjoyed her.”

“Jaekob was great and Cooper and Kiara had a great time. He stayed with them overnight and was a respectful house guest!! We would book with him again without hesitation.”

About: I’ve had all types of animals from dogs and cats, to hamsters, lizards, horses, goats, chickens - there is always an animal in my home (and they’re always spoiled) I work Monday through Friday but I am available after 4pm on weekdays. I have open weekend availability. Reach out and I will try to work with whatever you need! I am able to assist your animals with any medication, training routines (kenneling), walks, etc. My goal is to give your pets all the love and maintain respect for them, you, and your home.

About: I am a sitter and walker who is very patient with all dogs, especially energetic ones. I love all animals, and because I am an athlete, I have lots of energy, so if your dog wants to run while we walk and play, I happily will! If they do not, I am always calm as well and will be patient with your dog. I walk my dog Charlie every day, and I also walk my sister's dog, Finn. I am always happy to go outside and get some fresh air. I play with Charlie as much as I can until he’s tired (which is literally never), and I always make sure he’s got plenty of water.

About: I’ve had very many different types of dogs in our family through the years. I’ve raised dogs from 6 weeks old to senior. I have experience with giving dogs medicine and following special meal schedules. I have stayed over with dogs and cats for family and friends while they were on vacation, etc. for 20+ years. I absolutely love all animals and promise to love yours too! This is my only source of employment so I can be really flexible and accommodating to your needs and your pet’s needs. Whether it be for potty breaks, taking your pet for a walk, abiding by food/medication schedules, or extended stays. I am available to sit in your home to keep your pet feeling as comfortable and safe as possible. I am familiar with building trust with dogs as well. If you don’t need a daily/nightly sitter, you can count on me to potty your dog at a minimum of every 4 hours.

“Hayley did an awesome job with our pets. Five stars!”

“Sierra watched out two dogs for the first time and we could not be happier! We received updates and pictures of our pups and felt very comfortable having her watch them! We will be using Sierra again!”

“Bobbie went over and above with all my pets. Oliver is blind and still acts like a puppy so he can be a handful but Bobbie and her family treated him like one i or f their own. I could tell that he was super comfortable in their care. She took the best possible care of Dottie and Toby as well. Bobbie was awesome with the daily pics and updates and was very flexible with our vacation schedule. We’ll be using her on our next vacation for sure.”
