House Sitting in West Marion

“Joanne immediately won over my pups, even my shy boy who usually takes his time warming up to someone. She sent me pics throughout the day and even extended her stay because one of my girls was nervous because of a thunderstorm. My dogs love her which means everything!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Gabriel. We met with our dogs, to see how they would be together and he and I talked about the weekend I needed puppy-sitting. Instead of either staying at his apt or mine, because she is a very recent rescue, I asked if he could keep her at his place during the day but then have all 3 of them come and sleep at my apt at night. I did this so that she would know that even if she gets dropped off somewhere else, she is ALWAYS coming back to her home. This worked out very well and he is just the most caring person when it comes to our dogs. I don't travel very often, but I would like to confirm that he is a magnificent pet sitter and I hope he gets lots of business because he deserves all good things!!!”

“Tresalyn is fantastic! She house sat for us and took wonderful care of our dog, cat, chickens and fish while we were gone. She took the time to get to know our animals ahead of time with a pre visit and was so kind and considerate when we met. She made sure she understood the needs of our high energy, anxious dog and gave her plenty of exercise and lots of love while we were away. It was clear to us when we returned that she had cared for our home and pets with deep love and consideration. She also sent pictures and updates regularly while we were away, which we greatly appreciated! We are so grateful we found her! We can’t recommend Tresalyn enough!”

“Kenia was absolutely amazing with biscuit. He was actually sad when she left. She took him on several walks and entertained him all day. I’m so grateful for people like her! You can tell how much she loves animals. 100% recommend to anyone needing a dog sitter!”

“Amelia is a doll! The dogs love her and she is super sweet and conscientious.”

“Elizabeth was communicative and reliable while I was away. She sent regular updates, took great care of my pup, and even watered the outdoor plants, which I really appreciated. I came home to a happy pet and everything in good shape. Thank you!”

“Kara did a wonderful job staying with our babies. She cared for them as though they were her own and was very attentive to their needs. She respected our space and theirs. We will definitely be reaching out in the future with any other needs. Gunner, Zara and Simba loved her.”

About: I have a hard time sitting inside on a nice day and understand your puppy probably does, too! As a mom to several anxious kitties, I understand that every animal comes with their own needs and personality. I'm happy to spend time walking, playing, snuggling, or giving space as needed. I'm a teacher with two weeks off in January and two months off in June/July. I have ample time to give your little friends a little extra love. I'm especially attuned to furry friends who, in their excitement, are eager to slip out the door as soon as someone comes in! I'm very mindful of keeping everyone on an leash and under constant supervision as needs be.

About: I’ve had the joy of caring for four dogs and three cats over the years, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with pets of different personalities and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or cuddles, I treat every pet like my own. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and providing a loving environment to keep pets happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m a full-time community college student and work part-time, but I always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Their well-being is my priority, and I’ll provide plenty of love, playtime, and care while you’re away! I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort by providing attentive care, following their routine, and ensuring they feel secure and loved. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a clean, stress-free environment, give them plenty of attention, and respect any special needs or preferences. Their well-being is my top priority!

“Johnnie was great. This was my first time having Johnnie keep Rocky, but I’ll definitely use again. She took great care of him and kept me posted on how things were going through messages and photos.”

“Renee was the absolute sweetest and so so caring and loving towards our pups. We felt so at ease and reassured having her there to tend to our dogs while we were away. She was very communicative and responsive and left plenty of updates and pictures so we could keep up to date while gone. I would definitely have Renee help us out again in the future. She went above and beyond to care for not only our two dogs, but also to take care of our space (vacuuming, watering plants, and stripping the bed at the end of her visit). You can truly tell how much she loves and cares for animals, and that’s the exact kind of person you want taking care of your pets while away.”

About: Hello and thanks for looking at my profile! I had to close my books for awhile and have just reopened them so please excuse the lack of recent reviews. I have worked in animal care for 25 years. I've been a trainer, groomer, vet assistant and worked at multiple boarding and day care facilities over the years. I have my own dog-friendly home with a very secure fenced yard and a dog door. Should you board your pet in my home, they will be allowed on furniture and on bed...or not, if you prefer. If I am doing a drop-in or overnight at your residence I take the upmost care to be respectful and safe while at your home/ property. I am currently only doing 2 nights at a time for overnight's at pet owner's house. I feel that caring for animals is my calling and I'm very comfortable and confident in my abilities in this role. If I'm caring for your precious pets I'll literally guard them with my life and indulge them as if they were my own. My dog, Louis is a 4 year old Catahoula/ Great Pyrenees mix who is very friendly and sweet, so he is great company for other dogs I'm boarding. I also have a "foster-fail" named Johnny who is a 2 year old lab mix. However, if either are too enthusiastic for your pet I can easily give yours space from them. I can only accept dogs that are well socialized and have no history of aggression with other animals. I am usually not gone from the house more than 2-4 hours at a time, so pets staying with me need to be able to tolerate being alone briefly, preferably in a crate. I have cared for all sorts of animals including reptiles, birds, guinea pigs, pet rats, goats, horses, sheep, ducks, chickens, etc. Some of these I haven't taken care of in awhile, but am up for the job if you are willing to give me very clear instructions. I'm also always happy to take care of plants.

“Maysen came to the campground we were staying at to keep our dog for the day, since the scenic train ride we wanted to take didn’t allow dogs. She arrived early, was very polite and friendly, and Waylon loved her. We were very pleased with her service. Would recommend and book with her again.”

About: Have a special heart for a dogs! We get along very well and look forward to having fun with every single one. Super excited to meet new dogs and create new relationships. Its fits however it needs, I do basketball training and etc but I can always work around that. Any day of the week works. ! Take lots of care, them being happy or not really means a lot to me so I want to make the best environment possible for every dog to be themselves and have fun.

“Andrea provided much comfort to us as our animals were well taken care of while we were away. She was reliable, responsible and communicated regularly with us. She took great care of the house as well as our dog and cat. We would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”

“Courtney was so fantastic!! we are so happy we could book her for her first rover gig (: She was very good with communication, updates, and just overall keeping us informed about the well being of our doggos. She made us feel super reassured while away, which is all you can ask for when away from your fur babies. She is so sweet and caring of your animals and embraces them for who they are! Would live to book with her again (:”

About: I am a huge dog person i will love on your little puppers all day if I have to. I have other dogs at home of my own and loves to play with other dogs. I make sure there is food and water laid down for my dog all day espailly the water. She is trained to tell me when she has too use the bathroom and paws at the door. So I let her out to use the bathroom. I make sure they have there play time becouse they are high in energy dogs. We have a pool and they like to jump in and swim in the pool. There is plenty of yard outside I am even willing to go to dog parks to let them play so they get use to other doggos
