House Sitting Wallsburg

“There’s a saying that goes something like, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”, and I got the feeling that my dogs were well cared for while I was gone and happy when I got home. Additionally, I forgot to leave a house key and had to call my apartment emergency after hours line to get Alyssa into my house. She didn’t say, Well you didn’t leave me a key so, I left”. She communicated with me and worked through the issue until she was in and looking after my pups. Thanks, Alyssa for being a caring care giver to my pups and for working through the obstacles. I highly recommend, Alyssa!”

About: I have owned dogs and cats and have happily helped friends and family care for their pets for decades. I have housed friends’ pets, taken neighbor’s/friend’/family’s dogs for walks and hikes and even on camping trips and frequently stop in to check on pets and offer affection and quick care. I genuinely adore time with animals, and want all pets to have the best quality of life. I would love to help provide that for your beloved pets. I’m currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule. I am available for boarding, as well as daily car, walks or check-ins. Availability may vary, depending on the day of the week that care is needed. I have a fenced-in yard and two dogs to keep your dog company. I also have a cat, but I can keep any pets separate or crate your dog if needed. Our home has plenty of space for exploring and lounging and central air for hot summer days. I can stay at your place with your pet, if that is a preferable option. I am flexible throughout the week for day care and to take your pet on walks or other outdoor adventures that you are comfortable with.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was born. I have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, etc. I’m a veteran who enjoys spending time with animals as they resonate with me and give me peace. I’m here to give your family the same love and attention that I give mine. I have 2 dogs of my own, Bear and Milo! I’m flexible with your schedule. I’m a Ranger part time and own my own business so I’m able to navigate your time. I work around your schedule and however best you would like me to help. I live full time in an RV so I have to take extra care of my animals to ensure they are getting enough walks and always on leash. I’m very comfortable with animals and ensuring that they are living their best life!

“Catherine, was wonderful. Meet and greet was good . She took notes and wanted to interact with my dog . During her stay she sent pictures and gave updates . She left the house neat , and left very little footprint . She was nice and curtious . My dog seemed to do great with her and was no worse for wear when we returned so I think it want well . I would have her house sit again .”

“Dave was amazing with our two Great Danes. Our senior dane nuzzled him and leaned on him immediately, and he was patient with our shyer younger dane as she always takes a few minutes to feel comfortable. Our younger dane also had recently been diagnosed with Wobblers and was still on meds and play/walking restrictions and he was very gentle with her and followed all instructions. When we returned from our trip, it was obvious that both dogs loved him and had a great time with him. He also took great care of the house and left it very clean, which we 100% appreciated. This was our first time using Rover and we will definitely book with Dave again for our next trip.”

“Came home to happy healthy cats and a safe clean house. Would definitely re-book with Mark next time we leave town. I loved how he sent me videos and updates.”

About: I am comfortable taking care of all kinds of pets besides cats and dogs including reptiles, snakes, birds and even insects. I grew up with many different kinds of pets in the home so I am adaptable to whatever needs your pet might have. I work as a substitute teacher and I schedule my work a few days to a week in advance so I may be less available on any given week if you don’t communicate with me a week in advance. When sitting in the client’s home I’ll set alarms to make sure that I feed and walk the dog at the required times, I prefer to walk dogs on leash so please let me know where those are before I come to sit (I’ll also ask you if not).

“Andrew was an excellent sitter. He was attentive and communicative and very loving to our two senior pups. They are not without their elderly baggage and he cared for them as we would’ve. He also does great pet photography and was very respectful of our home during his stay. We look forward to using him again in the future!”

About: Hi I’m Savannah! I have taken care of my dogs and friends pups for 5 years. I provide a loving home filled with lots of hikes and treats for my pup Pinot and I’d be thrilled to hike/take care of your pup. I do freelance work Monday through Friday and have a flexible schedule during the week to walk or watch pups. I am mostly home on the weekends unless I am on the slopes but with advance notice I can be flexible then as well. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood, have a fenced in back yard, and one 5 year old dog Pinot. I am allergic to cats so no cats but dogs are welcome.

“Brody was amazing watching our puppy, Arlo. He sent updates, left the house clean, and provided amazing care. Can’t thank him enough for helping us out!”

About: I’ve been involved with various animal rescue organizations for more than 30 years and have extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and medical conditions. I’ve fostered many animals over the years and have helped with adoptions, medical visits, home visits, shelter assessments, and fundraising and community events. I’ve also personally rescued and cared for animals with health issues and have extensive experience with dogs who may need extra patience, understanding, or specialized care. I’m very active and love having dogs join me in the fun. I hike, bike, ski, and paddleboard, and I’m always happy to have a furry companion along for an adventure. Of course, I’m equally happy spending a quiet day at home with a dog curled up on the couch getting plenty of love and extra snuggles. My two senior dogs recently passed away, and I truly miss having dogs in my home. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I would love the opportunity to give your dog the same attention, affection, and care I’ve given my own. I have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to accommodate your pet's needs. I like to adhere to a schedule your pet is accustomed to. My pets were all indoor dogs, well taken care of, and slightly spoiled. They had regular feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. I will adhere to your pet's regular schedule as much as possible.

“Jonah did an amazing job watching our dogs at our house while we were on vacation! He kept us updated and the dogs were happy and the house looked untouched when we returned! I would highly recommend him to everyone!!!”

About: I worked as a nanny for over 10 years which included pet care. Anything from daily walks and feeding to overnight extended care. I love the chance to make new furry friends and share my favorite walks. I work remotely so have full flexibility to work when I want and when is best for your furry fmaily members. I find caregiving to be a win win. I make a new friend and have someone to go on walks with and pets get the love and attention they need. The health and safety of your pet is number one for me. I have a large area in my home where animals can relax with sunlight, houseplants, and water. For care in your home, I’m happy to follow whatever protocols you have established. Nothing is too niche, trust me. My childhood dog wouldn't eat his dinner unless I 'sprinkled special flavour powder' (I just mimed grabbing something from the cupboard) over his food. It's important to me that you and your loved one's routine is maintained as much as possible.

“I can't recommend Madison enough! She is fantastic. She's stayed at our house several times to watch our goldendoodle Lucie while we were out of town. I never worry about Lucie when she's with Madison! They have a great time together and I truly feel that Madison goes above and beyond! She's responsive, honest, trustworthy, responsible, and very loving towards Lucie. She is our go-to sitter and we're so happy to have found her!”

“Calindra was amazing! Our pup adored her — she got playtime, belly rubs and kisses the entire time we were gone. Calindra sent regular updates and photos through the day. It is wonderful to find someone with whom we are so comfortable leaving our sweet pup. Thank you, Calindra!”

“Incredibly impressed with Tyler! We’ve had many house/catsitters and Tyler clearly stands above them all. Everything from his communications, check-ins, level of care, attention to detail, cleanliness, organization, and how much he loves animals in unmatched! Don’t hesitate having Tyler help you!”

Steve H.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She stayed in our home for a week while we were on vacation and took amazing care of our French Bulldog, Tomas. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in his own environment with someone who truly cared for him. She kept us updated with messages and photos, followed all of Tomas’s routine and instructions, and treated our home with respect. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a house that was just as clean as when we left. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and Tomas was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter.”

“Oh she was just the best! Our dog Millie is always skittish around new people, but she handled Mills so well and gave us constant communication and pictures! We loved her!!!”

About: I’ll go the extra mile to make your pets smile! Whether your pet is ready for an adventure or prefers a cozy, relaxed day, I’ll happily match their energy and give them the attention, care, and love they deserve. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away! I’m happy to help morning or night and will work with your pet’s routine and needs. I have open availability. Your pet is my priority, and I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve! I’m thrilled to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home! I can provide walks, meals, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and pay close attention to their individual needs. I’m also happy to send pictures during walks or playtime as a fun little check in, so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away!

“I can’t even begin to tell you how great Kirk is. Part of me doesn’t want to, because he’ll get busier than he is even now. The care he gave our pets was more than I could expect. They love him. If you’re like me, coming home is one of the best parts of any vacation. We came home to a cleaner home than we left. Not only did he change his own sheets and towels and launder them. He performed other tasks that needed to be done. We’re getting older, and some tasks are harder for us than before. Kirk took care of them.”
