House Sitting Wainscott

About: I volunteer at a local animal shelter on my time off , where I get to spend time with dogs and help provide them with the care and attention they deserve. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and understanding that every dog has their own personality and needs! I love spending time with dogs, whether it’s taking them for walks, playing, giving them cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for like family. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to their needs and always treat their home and belongings with respect.

“Carol went above and beyond for both myself and Bowie! Her empathy and care for both animals and people alike makes her the perfect sitter for your pet!”

About: I’ve raised and cared for four dogs with wildly different needs: two spirited mixed breeds, a clever Golden Doodle, and a loyal Rottweiler. This hands-on experience taught me how to adapt to every pup’s unique temperament—whether it’s managing a high-energy Doodle’s playfulness, building confidence in shy mixes, or reinforcing gentle discipline for strong breeds like Rotties. **What I Offer:** ✅ **Breed-Specific Insight**: Familiar with the quirks of designer breeds (like Doodles’ smarts + hyperactivity) and powerful guardians (like Rottweilers’ loyalty). ✅ **Puppy Fundamentals**: Housebreaking, leash training, socialization, and basic commands—no bad habits on my watch! ✅ **Tailored Care**: Your dog’s routine = my priority. Need a marathon fetch session? A calm cuddle buddy? Done. I treat every dog like family because, well, they *are*. Let’s chat about how I can keep your pup happy, safe, and thriving! I’m available in the afternoon after 7pm. On my days off I’m fully available for all your pets needs. Runs, walks, cuddles you name it ! Safety always comes first ! By first always figuring out what your pet is comfortable with and what they do not like ! My focus is to always make them feel welcomed and have fun !

“My best friend, Roquefort, a 13 year old Great Dane has been suffering with mobility issues, resulting from aging. Albert proved to be a godsend as I have commitments in NYC without someone to care for Roq in my absence. He strictly adhered to all the details of care we covered and even provided more. Albert's general demeanor was perfect as he is a calm person with sensitivities to the needs at hand. Handling Roq was not easy, as he is a large creature requiring assistance to move about. He made my apprehension fade, knowing he would provide devoted attendance to Roq's needs, with much gentle treatment and constant awareness of his needs. I'm very glad that Albert is now a resource.”

“Sarah was wonderful! She was accommodating on timing and was able to watch our three pups on short notice. Sarah was attentive and communicative, sending photos and videos regularly. The dogs were very happy and had a great time. Thank you Sarah!”

About: I was lucky enough to grow up with dogs and cats my whole childhood and have never spent a day in my house without a pet there. I love animals so much and it brings me so much joy to connect with them. I understand the patience and empathy it takes to get to know an animal and for them to feel comfortable around us. One day I hope to open up an animal shelter of my own on a big plot of land somewhere in the country and provide support to all kinds of animals. I currently go to college but I have afternoons and weekends free to play and care for your babies. I have breaks in my day as well in case your doggies get lonely or need a walk! In my home we let the animals come and go as they please with the doggy door, but we try and take the dogs on a long walk once a day to keep em healthy. We feed them dry food in the morning and wet at night. I try and spend a lot of time with my pets to create a familiar bond with them.

“Joseph is very professional, great communicator, and he is so knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors. Our dogs were treated like family and you could tell they were treated so well by how relaxed they were when we got home. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Rachel, and I’ve been caring for animals for over two decades. For the past several years, I’ve traveled the country as a trusted pet sitter through reputable apps and personal referrals, providing high-quality care in homes across the U.S. What began as a lifelong love for animals has grown into a full-time calling rooted in reliability, intuition, and genuine respect for the pets and families I serve. Now that I’m back home, I’m excited to offer local pet care with the same level of professionalism and heart I’ve brought to every sit nationwide. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority :) I’m a homebody who works from home, so pet care fits perfectly into my day. I’m around to give them attention, keep them company, and make sure they feel safe and loved the whole time. I care for pets in other peoples homes currently, if it’s family, friends or clients I’ve met throughout the years, my main priority is to ensure a safe and healthy environment for every animal. This includes bathing, always making sure they have food and water/or following specific feeding times, play time, walks, pets, relaxation time.

“Amanda watched my very elder dog and two rambunctious kittens for a week while I was out of the country. Amanda was fantastic. She was great with all the animals. She even offered (and took) one of the kittens to the vet when the kitten had a minor issue. I’d gladly use Amanda again.”

About: As a child I grew up with strong ties to nature and animals. I have much experience with dogs, as I had two growing up, one of which is now a senior. I have experience handling different types of animals such as chickens, fish, turtles, cats, dogs, rabbits and hamsters. I’m a college student looking for some extra money on the side, so this would be the perfect job for me! I go to college mostly online, but I do have a class or two in person some days. I’m able to drop in whenever because I’ll be very much free. I can give your pet some comfort and take care of them while you’re gone! I love to go on walks and play with any furry friend!

About: I love taking care of dogs. Being a previous dog owner we’re well aware of all of the care and attention pets need to be happy. We work from home and have an extremely flexible schedule. I’m able to take breaks often to play And look after pets. Very flexible Each and every day. I treat others like I would want to be treated. First step in learning about others expectations, then going above and beyond to exceed those expectations.

About: I’ve always grown up with multiple dogs! Our family loves pups of all ages and sizes! I will treat your pup like one of our own! I work as a teacher. I’m able to do before school hours, after school hours, lunch time breaks and weekends! I am able to spend most of the day with your pup! I have a fenced in yard and one senior dog who spends most of his day sleeping! I live near the beach and love strolls down to the water!

I love animals and I love working with them, and hopefully that will become my future career♥️ I take care of my dogs daily and I walk them everyday. I am currently a full time student at a college, so for the summer I will be available every day. But starting late August, I will be starting my 3rd semester so I will be only available on the weekend’s! I wash my dogs, I take them on long walks, I feed them, and they love to cuddle. They are now senior dogs, so they sleep more often, but they are given the love and care that they need!😊

About: Hello! I’m a local caretaker who always grew up with pets and have a passion for helping others. I currently have a B.S. in Applied Psychology and plan on pursuing my masters degree soon. I have taken care of family and friends pets over the years and am happy to provide references. Feel free to reach out if you are looking for help! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows for me to incorporate pet care as well as other services in to my weekly routine. I am happy to spend quality time with your fur babies, as well as drop-in visits. I enjoy exercise and love to go on walks and enjoy the fresh outdoors!

About: My name is Alex and I would love to care for your furbabies as if they were my own! I host one family at a time (up to three pets from the same family). This ensures a premium experience for your pet that is calm, friendly and enjoyable. I do not have children or any pets of my own-this way I am be able to maintain a stress free environment for your pet to avoid any anxiety or nervousness around children or new animals. It is my job to put you and your pets at ease while you are away or busy. I want to ensure a stress free experience for all. 🐾 I will always be around to supervise the animals while I petsit! I offer a happy and calming experience for your pet in which they will enjoy lots of attention and cuddles/playtime from me or naps and comfort time and relaxing music should they desire. I’ve taken care of a number pets throughout my life. I grew up with small terriers and had fish too. Friends animals were always like my own. I adopted my beloved cat Calvin when I was 21 and in December 2022, 11 years later, he passed away leaving a hole in my heart. He had many health problems such as asthma and IBS, for which he was on several daily medications. This taught me to administer oral medication in pill pockets and use an inhaler attachment for him. I miss being around animals in general now that he’s been gone. I am looking so much forward to being able to provide boarding in my lakeside home. At this time, I’m not able to offer housesitting, very happily offer drop ins house sits and walks! Kindly note: * if your dog has a history of aggression towards people or has indoor accidents frequently I will not be able to host them. *Experience with breeds such as greyhounds, who may need a more quiet atmosphere I am available consistently at the moment as I run a part time home business. 24 hour consistent time with your pet is ensured. If they wish they can also sleep in the bedroom/bed. The fenced yard is big enough to run around supervised and also has tiered retaining walls. I also have a separate area for a cat(s) and a walk in closet style litter box “room”. I have plenty of toys, treats and catnip. At this time, I’m not able to offer boarding, very happily offer drop ins house sits and walks!

“Daniel took care of our dog Olive at our home over a long weekend. We returned to find both Olive and our home were in the same great condition as when we left!”
