House Sitting in Vilas

“Aaron was awesome! We asked him to watch our dog Bruno during our wedding, and he was so helpful and great with Bruno. Aaron was super cooperative and flexible with the craziness of the wedding day, and made sure Bruno had the best day too.”

“Annelies is an animal lover through and through. She has grown up with a rescue mom helping to foster German Shepherds for several years. She has helped walk numerous fosters throughout the years, and has also fed and helped take care of them medically. She has done some pet sitting in our neighborhood and has done an excellent job! Her calm, patient mannerisms are a magnet for animals and they sense her caring from the beginning . They just love her! I highly recommend her, and before she went away to college, was a neighborhood favorite!”

“Jasmine is so sweet and cared for our dogs so well! She gave us regular, detailed updates and sent lots of photos! Will definitely have her back to stay with our pups in the future!”

“Sweet and attentive meant that we came back from our Easter dinner to two happy dogs.”

“Bella did a fantastic job with my pups! Highly recommend!”

About: I have volunteered for 2 years at a Animal shelter back in my hometown in Mebane, North Carolina. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and have learned the basic requirements of animal care. I am a student at Appalachian State University majoring in nursing, my schedule varies each day but I am looking for part time job. I can give my school schedule so we can match availability! I believe in taking care of any dog like if it were my own. I will provide the best care and follow instructions strictly based on the dogs needs.

“We hired Elizabeth to petsit our cat who was injured and needed medication. She was able to help last minute and stay in our home with our fur baby to continue his treatment. She gave him all his meds on time and treated our home with respect. To add a constructive note I would suggest that the communication while sitting could improve. Overall Elizabeth is a good sitter and would recommend!”

“Emily has been the primary care taker for her two dogs since we brought them into our home. She always is the first to greet them in the morning, give them each her undivided attention, and makes sure everyday they get to do something special like go on an adventurous hike, jump in the car to run errands, or just cuddle on the couch during nap time. Emily is very much in-tune with her dogs' needs and is the first to point out when they aren't acting like themselves and tries to get to the route of the problem. She also makes healthy, homemade dog treats and meals to make sure they don't get into a rut. Emily has been helping out with other dogs in our neighborhood for years, making sure they get a healthy dose of play-time and exercise on each and every visit!”

“Savanah was able to accommodate last minutes sitting for my Yuengling and she was wonderful. She sent constant updates and pictures. She even went beyond by extending the end time range to accommodate our delays. Would love to rebook with her again when we are in the area.”

“The experience was as good and it could be. The pups were well taken care of. When we go out of town she is first on our list for a pet setter.”

“Lindsay has cared for my pets several times. I have 2 Golden Retrievers and a Australian Shepherd. One of the Goldens is blind and not easy to care for. Lindsay would sit on the ground outside with that dog as long as the dog wanted to sit. She is a quiet loving soul. Their diets are all different and she had not trouble feeding them, also my 3 cats. I would recommend Lindsay to everyone. She is one of the best, very punctual and kind.”

“Amanda is a great caregiver for dogs and takes very good care of each and every pet. She is very caring and will make sure your fur baby gets everything they need!”

“Lucia was great with our pups!! Which in reality are old dogs. Was very responsible and even with the fireworks she was able to recognize their fear. We do recommend her.”

About: I currently own 2 cats, 2 dogs, and 4 chickens. I have plenty of space and separate rooms for dogs that prefer being alone or are easily scared. I have experience with all different pet personalities and can adapt my home and schedule to accommodate almost any need. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, making dog boarding, day care, or home stays a breeze. I am available for drop in visits and walks during early morning, late afternoon, and evening hours during the week. I am familiar with administering multiple types of medications such as pills, ear drops, and liquid oral medications if required. Can devote much of my time to walking dogs in my large yard and have two sweet and energetic pups that are always ready to play with newcomers. I currently work from home and am available for daycare, home stays, or boarding any time. I am available mornings and evenings during the week and all weekend long for drop-ins and walks. I have two friendly dogs that are both crate-trained. I also have a large and open yard with a runner to keep pets secure while giving them plenty of outdoor time. I have several rooms in the house that can be used as a private space for your pup during boarding.

“Emily is a trustworthy and caring person. She is great with all animals. She is always so sweet to my dog Franny and I always feel so safe leaving her in her care. I can't recommend Emily enough. Your dog will be in the best hands!!”

“Beth was a great and reliable sitter over the holidays! She was easy to work with in setting up this stay. Beth sent frequent updates and my dog seemed happy when I arrived home!”

“Sydney was amazing! She is very knowledgeable and dependable. Super patient and understanding with our reactive rescue dog! She was available at a late notice which was awesome! Would recommend to anyone looking for an experienced dog sitter.”

“The best and most reliable. Thank you so much Madison for taking care of my little pup. I will be hitting you up in the future 100 percent!”

“I highly recommend Lisa when I need a pet sitter. I can trust that my animals are walked and fed as if I were home doing it myself. She has a can do attitude and her love for animals is a bonus. Lisa is efficient, responsible, and has a happy heart. She is my go to girl when I must travel and leave my babies at home. -Catrina C”

About: I have been around all sorts of animals and been able to read their body language and respond appropriately. From horses, cats, and dogs; my family has them all and I love to care for them. I also have been volunteering at a local animal shelter for over a year now and have learned a lot there when It comes to reading their body language and giving them enrichment in order to keep them occupied and working their brain to help keep them emotionally and physically stable. It has been so fun caring for animals and I love to keep learning. I’ve cared for animals all my life, and I can’t wait to care for yours! I work a part-time job about 1-2 days a week right now with varying times. I am motivated in my time management and still have plenty of time of take care of your pets! I care for animals with the upmost respect and treat them how I would a human. I am vegetarian due to inhumanities within meat production, so taking care of animals and being able to help them in any way I can is truly meaningful and significant to me. I love to take dogs or cats on walks, play with them and keep them entertained, and anything else the owner would like!
