House Sitting Veradale

“Rebecca was very friendly and informative while watching our little Luka. She kept in touch and followed up on everything. Thank you for watching little luka and for being so flexible!”

“Our Family had a fairly long trip and did not want to put our dogs in a different location. Looking on Rover we found Phillip who responded right away. Our trip was through Thanksgiving and that was not a problem for him. He came over to meet our two dogs and they took to him right away. Received updates from him even though for us maybe a little more communication would have been nice but the over-all experience was really good. When we returned back from our trip and he dropped off our house key the dogs were so very excited to see him. Normally when we are gone and come back our dogs tend to not be themselves for a while. We got right back into things with them like we never left. Thanks for taking such good care of our girls.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over twenty years, and most of my clients have become repeat clients. In that time I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals: dogs, from a Yorkie to a husky/malamute mix, with greyhounds, a bluetick coonhound, Cavaliers, and a corgi along the way; cats; and even flocks of chickens and quail. If it has four legs or fewer, I’m excited to meet it. I’ve cared for puppies, anxious dogs, and seniors living with cancer, kidney failure, and cysts, including dogs who needed daily medications. When you leave, I’m the new variable in your pet’s world, so my goal is to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. That means following your routines, even the silly ones you think nobody else would understand. I once danced around holding a dog because that’s what her mom does every day, and she expected the same from me. Some pets want play, some want snuggles. Most of the time you’ll find us curled up together while I read a book. I offer overnight house sits, including light tidying if you’d like, and drop-in visits with walks, potty breaks, and hang-out time. My schedule is flexible. I’ll drive up to about 20 miles for drop-ins and farther for longer house sits. If you're outside the drop-in radius and want me to house sit, send me a message to see if we can arrange something! Think of me as your pet’s cool aunt: they get love and attention, and you get peace of mind. Pet sitting is my main focus right now, so my schedule is built around the animals I’m caring for. That means I can offer flexible drop-in times, and I’m not dashing off to another job during an overnight stay. Your pet gets my full attention, not whatever’s left over. For your pet: Keeping routines consistent is the best way to reduce stress while you’re away, so I follow your pet’s schedule for meals, walks, playtime, and bedtime as closely as I can. I also stick to your house rules. If your dog isn’t allowed on the couch, they don’t get on the couch with me. That keeps your pet’s behavior on track while you’re gone, so you come home to the same pet you left. For your home: Having someone stay in your house is stressful enough, so I try to leave as little footprint as possible. I clean up after myself, wash and put away my dishes, and strip the bed I slept in before I leave. When you walk in the door, I want it to feel like you just ran to the store and came back. For drop-ins: Your pet gets the same routine-first care, with potty breaks, walks, and real hang-out time, not a rushed in-and-out. I will happily send photo updates of our time together so that you can see how they're doing while you're away if you like!

“Vanessa was a great sitter! She kept us updated on how things were going, sent us cute pics, and made fast friends with the pups. When our travel plans changed she was able to stay an extra day, which was a huge help for us. She tidied up the house and washed her sheets and towels before she left, which was not necessary but was so nice!”

About: Animals and animal care has always been my passion, I’m currently working towards getting my bachelors degree in animal science and zoology! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals and I’ve done a lot of rescue and rehoming! I love animals, from cats to fish, lizards and birds. I’m crazy about all of them. I’ve cared for babies and elderly of a lot of different species and I pride myself in always doing my best in taking care of all their needs. Ive got quite a few of my own babies at the moment but they’re all very friendly and adjust easily to new animals. If you are struggling financially or need a little extra help please don’t let my rates discourage from booking with me! We can discuss a plan and figure out what will work best for you! I don’t currently have a day job except rover because I’m working towards getting my bachelors degree in animal science/zoology, so I’m home 24/7 to care for my own pets and school, I have two crate trained dogs, four cats, two frogs, two birds, fish, and a hamster, so I’m basically always cleaning and playing or training one or the other! While I live in an apartment, we have multiple fenced dog parks and ample walking area away from the roads for walkies with the dogs, my apartment is pretty spacious especially in the living room and animals are allowed around the whole apartment. If I were to watch your babies at your residence I would stick strictly to the rules you set for me and never overstep your boundaries or rules.

“Excellent sitter. She took care of my 6 animals while I was away and I came home to a clean and happy home. Sent updates and photos regularly. Will definitely book with her in the future.”

“Tanner watched Willy for a 2nd time and we are so grateful! We know when we leave our doggo with Tanner that he will be safe, loved and well taken care of. This definitely won’t be the last time we use Tanner to watch our pup!”

Jacob L.

“Elizebeth was simply great taking care of our dog while house-sitting! I would easily recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable & responsible sitter!”

Doyle B.

“Stayed with my pup last minute and was very accommodating, sent pictures and updates and all in all just a great experience for my pup and us!”

Jayme V.

“We had a wonderful experience with Jessalyn and would book with her again. She took amazing care of our dog, kept us updated, sent lots of pictures and videos which was so fun to see, and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable. She even gave him baths before we got home and vacuumed everything up afterward, which was such a thoughtful touch and so appreciated. It was clear she genuinely cared for him which is so nice to see when we are out on a trip. We're so grateful for the excellent care and attention she provided. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter!”

“Catherine did a great job watching Nacho! She sent informative updates to us and quickly let us know us if anything went awry. She followed all of our instructions and also went the extra mile to do helpful things around the house, like take out the trash and strip the linens at the end of her stay. She was friendly and easy to communicate with the whole way. We’d definitely have her watch our dog again.”

Alex R.

“Carla was great! She was patient with our dog who can be leery of strangers and we came home to a perfectly clean home after a long travel day! Will definitely book with her again.”

About: I’ve worked & volunteer at shelters for about 5 years and have experience working with different types of dogs such as reactive, fearful, shy and friendly; as well of many different breeds. I was crossed trained as a veterinary assistant and have given medication before. I’ve earn my CCTBS (Certified Canine Training and Behavior Specialist) with the Animal Behavior Institute and I’m in my last quarter to compete my Advanced Canine Certification as well as my Feline Certification. I offer both Dog & Cat training services! I do have a full time job that is in the evening however this gives me ample time to provide quality care such as play time and long walks in the morning and checking on them late at night for one last potty break and ensuring everything is locked up so your pet is safe & sound. If you leave detailed instructions, I will follow them to a T. I can also provide photos frequently to show your pet having fun and relaxing at home safely. If a concern arises, I will immediately notify you no matter how small. You can always reach out about anything and everything, I love communicating and would want the same if someone was caring for my animals.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and have always had a natural connection with animals. I’m empathetic, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, from energetic huskies that require plenty of exercise to small dogs and more sensitive animals. I’ve cared for multiple dogs and cats at once, including senior pets requiring medication on a strict schedule, and I’m comfortable with walks, overnight stays, and providing loving, reliable care.

“Jocelyn is incredibly communicative and did great with our high needs cat. She also took great care of our home while we were away. Highly recommend!”

“Linelle was great! She sent pictures and communicated regularly. She took great care of our Nina and did everything we asked of her. I highly recommend her.”

About: I worked in dog grooming for a decade, and I do miss the dogs, often. I will be happy to help regardless of breed or size. I have open availability in my schedule. I work with many different service partners, and can easily adjust my schedule, with proper notice, of course. Dogs will be played with, of course! I will run them, depending on age and whether they like that. Feed them, walk them. Cats will get nozzles and pets

About: I've cared for dogs in my family my whole life. I would love to have tons of dogs but I can't afford them at the moment, so this is the next best thing! I love all animals but dogs will always have a special place in my heart. I have no limitations on dog size as I am confident I can handle the largest breeds. I have my own dog currently named Akuba who can accompany your dog on their walk if they are friendly with other dogs, and for the highest energy dogs I offer a long board ride along option to make sure they get out all the energy that they need to! I work in the mornings during the weekday until 1 pm, so I am currently am available on the weekdays after 2 pm and weekends I currently do not offer house sitting services, However I can guarantee professional, respectful & safe engagements for all Boarding, Drop in and Walk services. I will care for the Animals as if they are my own.

“Myra was a pleasure to have stay with our dogs for the weekend. Kept them busy playing in the backyard and sent great updates, photos and videos. Hopefully she’ll be free the next time we need her.”

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, and my fiancé and I have had our own pets for 6 years now. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, but I am here to help in any way I can. I have two cats and two dogs of my own which means I have experience with puppies and kittens, and with things like giving medications as well. I will care for your pets as if they were my own 😊 I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, however, my fiancé and I have worked potty breaks into our schedules. One of us comes home every day for a mid-day potty break for our own pets, and we would be happy to include your pets as well. We have a big yard and decent space inside for your pets. Our pets are allowed on our couch and they usually hang out with us; it would be no different for your pets. We have space to set up a crate if needed and we even have a few crates available so you don’t have to haul yours around. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs with you!
