House Sitting Watson

“Melinda may be the best pet-sitter we have known. She is thoughtful, thorough, and caring -- and a prompt communicator. Melinda came to our home for overnight stays for our two medium-sized, often-enthusiastic mixed-breed dogs, and provided the peaceful environment that they needed. We were welcomed home by two happy pups and a home in pristine condition. We highly recommend Melinda!”

“Mercedez was communicative and I was able to enjoy my time away from my dog, Abi, knowing that my dog was in capable hands and had a new friend to snuggle with!”

Allison W.

“Beth was great at communicating both before and during our trip. We received several pictures and short texts letting us know all was well. This was a huge comfort when leaving 2 dogs at home for over a week! I will try to book Beth again for future needs. :)”

Cathy W.

“Lindsey was wonderful as a house and dog sitter. She is a great communicator, very reliable, clean, and very attentive to the needs of our dogs. I highly recommend her.”

Karin H.

“Brooke was amazing! She stayed at our house for 9 days watching our dog, our chickens, and a newly acquired gecko. She is an excellent communicator, keeping us informed every day with pictures and quick updates. She was an amazing houseguest, and left the house cleaner than when she got here. Our pets loved having her here and so did we. We will definitely book Brooke again.”

About: It's a family affair and we treat yours like ours. As a family, we've been fostering rescue puppies and dogs for more than 18 years, providing care, training, medical support and, of course, lots of love. Whether you need a last-minute pop in for a potty break and snuggle, a walk with some basic leash training, or a week-long sitter, we can help. Someone is always around and working from home between mom, dad or our 2 college students so even last minute "going to happy hour" requests can be accommodated. We would love to meet you and your furry family! We're available on most days and times and can be flexible to meet your pet's needs. Last minute need or emergency? No problem! I can work to fit you in and have a backup team (aka college-age kids) who love pets as much as I do! We treat yours like ours - like Family! Your pet's comfort and happiness is most important. Once we get to know each other, we can have nice walks with some play and/or snuggle time - whatever they need! We only take one pet at a time for in-home services like boarding and doggie daycare and integrate them into our home. We even have a doggie door into a fenced yard but I prefer to do potty breaks/ walks as needed. I'm comfortable administering medications as prescribed and understand that every dog come with their own routine and special needs.

About: I have a lifetime of experience with animals starting from my first day as an infant. I grew up with multiple cats in the home with learned, gentle-respect and patience that cats require. I also grew up with a shetland sheepdog, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. As an adult I have significant experience with caring for dogs and cats alike both in my home and in other homes. My own animals, two dogs, a cat, and a 70 gallon fish tank, remind me daily of the joys and importance of animals. I have an anxious 74 pound hound and a nervous 30 pound beagle of my own, so I understand the needs of special breeds and animals coming from previously difficult situations. I have the patience needed to address nervous dogs and have experience with clicker training and am educated in techniques for dog training. I do not breed discriminate. I have fostered kittens and adult cats and have experience with syringe feeding and medicine administration. I also have my own rascally kitten, Hazel, who keeps me entertained. In my experience with fish and aquariums I can clean, feed, and help with tank design or water cycling conditions. Note: I am selective about in home care due to a cat being in the home - this is for the safety of my own animals. Thanks. Your pets will be the utmost priority and I can adjust my schedule to meet your needs. I can assure timely feedings, walks, and potty breaks so your pet is comfortable and you are assured! I will treat them as my own. Our daily routine is FULL of pet fun and enjoyment. First thing in the morning is a walk and potty breaks, followed by feeding, the rest of the day would follow similarly with 4/5 mini walks and dinner at ideal time. Potty before bed time and no pet will be left alone for more than 3 hours and if preferred never at all.

“Sydney was amazing with our dog Gibson. She was super communicative up to our booking and sent tons of pictures during the stay. I would recommend Sydney to anyone!”

“Tori did a fantastic job with our dog. He absolutely loved her. She took very good care of home as well. She kept us updated and sent multiple pictures everyday. We will definitely use Tori again in the future.”

“Jennifer is wonderful with our pets and also very considerate, leaving our house cleaner than when we left. It's nice to be able to relax on vacation without worrying about how things are going at home. With Jennifer we know everything's fine. Highly recommend her!”

“Preston was great with both of our dogs! He was really knowledgeable with how to care for our senior dog and handle his medication and was available on pretty short notice! We’ll definitely want to rebook next time we go out of town.”

Pablo Z.

“Perry is the best! She sends videos and pictures so you can love on your baby from afar! Our dog had the best time with her and we know she was well taken care of and loved! We will definitely be using her again!”

Rebecca G.

“Deanna was great. She checked in with us before and during her visit. We had her sit with our dog for a few hours while we went out. She took great care of him. Will definitely use again.”

About: Since childhood I've always loved animals and their companionship. Now, I live in a townhouse in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful walking trail which is great for walks. I work from home with regular hours. This allows me plenty of opportunities to go on walks or play breaks. I always make an effort to keep your pet on the same schedule it's used to. It's my priority that your pet in comfortable in my home and I'm always happy to send picture/video updates. Please feel free to reach out anytime. I'm normally very responsive.

“Raquel is always dependable and always goes above and beyond even when we forget to leave the key!!! Oops! She took great care of our dog Hercules and kept our little fish alive!”

About: I have always had a love for animals, with dogs especially having a special place in my heart. I currently have two rescue babies, Daisy & Pepe, who I have been caring for the last 8+ years. I understand that your fur-babies are your children, and deserve all the love and care in the world! Feel assured that your pet gets treated like my own and receives the necessary care while you are away. Driven by empathy, I know that everyone has a specific way of caring for their loved ones. I am open to any and all conversations on how to best satisfy your care needs and provide the best service possible! Fast and active replier. Currently finding myself with a lot of extra time, therefore am open to caring for your pet at any time of the day! Animals require consistency and daily routines to feel at ease, therefore I am happy to discuss and create arrangements that best fit the needs of your pet and your schedule! I typically take my dogs for 2 long walks and multiple short walks (5+) throughout the day. I am also all about routines and time management, so be assured that your pets will get consistent care throughout the day as specified/agreed! No dog or pet is the same, so let’s work together to create a plan that works best for them. Looking to fill my schedule with consistent daily/weekly walks/check-ins Living in an apartment complex, I am no stranger to watching my neighbors pets both at their residence and at my own. I offer staying with your pet (at your residence) until the late night to quickly stopping by for a quick potty break. If you have any special requests/accommodations needed, I am happy to discuss and work something out!

“Stacy is very reliable and she took really good care of our 3 pups. She didn't mind sleeping with them at night on the same bed in the guest room.”

About: I grew up in a household with 7 dogs and I've been watching my neighbors and my family's pets for years. I also worked at a dog boarding facility for several years. I currently have two very high energy corgis but currently have a lot of time and love for more animals! I currently work remote so am very flexible with my hours to match your pets needs, weekdays and week ends. I am also able to accommodate last minute (even day/hour of) requests no problem if I have availability As I work from home I'm able to give the pets a little extra care no matter the time of day and without having to rush off for my own job or family (my wife is perfectly able to handle my 2 doggies on her own!). Able to send as many updates and pics as needed to ease separation and can handle any special requests.
