House Sitting Westwood

“Stephen is very experienced and mature, not to mention friendly. We only needed to him to be a companion initially, but we will trust him with much more complex situations if one arises.”

Steve G.

“So appreciative of Kailyn and what great care she took of Hazel and our home. And she did this while not feeling well. Her communication is exactly what we are always looking for. Quick to respond and she was proactive letting us know when she would be leaving the house. Highly recommend and look forward to using her again. Thank you Kailyn!”

About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy. Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.

About: Your pet won't just be supervised—they will be completely folded into my daily routine, receiving constant affection, belly rubs, and inclusion in family life. My experience with animals isn't just a job; it’s a lifelong calling. For over a decade, I have cared for a diverse family of pets, mastering the art of reading their subtle body language and anticipating their needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality—from the high-energy pup who needs an exhausting game of fetch to the quiet senior who wants a gentle hand on their head. My hands-on experience has taught me how to establish instant trust, calm anxious minds, and provide a nurturing environment where pets don't just stay, but truly thrive. As a work-from-home entrepreneur, my schedule is entirely my own—which means your pet is never an afterthought, but a central part of my day. Because I control my hours, I don’t leave for a 9-to-5. Instead, my workspace is shared with your pet, offering them a constant, comforting human presence that drastically reduces separation anxiety. My daily routine is intentionally built around natural breaks that perfectly mirror a dog's need for stimulation, affection, and rest. I transform my home into a peaceful, tail-wagging sanctuary where your pet is treated as an honored family member, not a guest. Because I work from home, my environment is calm, highly predictable, and entirely secure.

About: I grew up pet sitting for several friends and family members. My family has owned Dobermans, Rottweilers, and huskies throughout the years. My own personal pets are a Belgian Malinois, a standard Poodle, and two cats. I am a certified dog groomer that has been grooming for 5 years, and was an assistant manager at a cat and dog boarding facility for 2 years. I have experience caring for all ages and sizes of pets, from newborns to seniors. I have experience working under and learning from a balanced trainer, however I am not an official dog trainer. I currently work 1-2 days a week, so I have plenty of availability to do drop in playtimes, potty breaks, and walks, multiple times per day if needed. My goal is to meet your pets' individual needs. If you have pets that are super high energy and want to go wild, I'm here for it! If you have pets that just want someone in the room to keep them company or cuddle for a bit, I'm here for it! The goal is to show your fur babies love and fun while I am with them, no matter what that looks like for them!

“Lacie was great wirh our pets and provided many pictures and updates while we were out of country. Would highly recommend.”

About: Through years of experience handling various breeds and temperaments, I approach each furry companion with compassion and respect. Creating a safe and nurturing environment entrusted to my care. I currently work from home and often have more than enough time. Activities such as feeding, grooming, exercise, and companionship can ensure the well-being and happiness of our furry companions. I do not care for pets often anymore due to the passing of my longtime pup at 13 years old. I want to create a happy, healthy, and safe space for a short time to help others.

About: Professional-Grade Care for Every Member of Your Pack. Why choose us? We offer something most sitters can't: a decade of professional boarding experience combined with Alyssa’s extensive background as a Veterinary Technician. Even though I’ve transitioned from the clinic to being home full-time with our 6 children, my medical training is always "on." I have the clinical eye to spot health changes early and the technical skill to handle complex care. The "Safe Pack" Advantage: With a large family and our own resident pack (1 Lab, 1 Husky, 1 Cat), we are experts at "The Flow." We have successfully managed multiple dogs at once and maintain a consistent, calm environment through: • Clinical Observation: My vet tech experience means I’m constantly monitoring for hydration, stress levels, and GI health. • Expert Med Administration: Whether it’s simple pills or more involved medical needs, we treat your pet’s health as our top priority (available as an add-on service). • Safety-First Feeding: We feed all guests separately in crates to ensure everyone eats their own food in peace. • Supervised Yard Rotations: Our large fenced yard is used for structured, supervised play sessions tailored to your dog’s energy level. We are the go-to home for long-term boarders (1–2 weeks) and multi-dog families. We’re home all day, providing constant supervision and plenty of "large-family" love. Please ensure your dog is on a flea preventative and let us know about their specific medical history and routine during booking. A Typical Day at Our Retreat Because we manage a "pack" environment, our day is built on a high-energy/low-energy rhythm that keeps the dogs calm and happy. • 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM: Morning Wake-Up & Breakfast Individual potty breaks followed by breakfast. For safety and peace of mind, all dogs are fed separately. • 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Supervised Yard Rotations This is prime play time! We have supervised sessions in our large fenced backyard. High-energy "athletes" get to run, while our seniors enjoy a sunbath at their own pace. • 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM: Mid-Day (Nap Time) After a busy morning, the house settles down for nap time. This structured rest prevents over-stimulation and keeps the "pack energy" balanced. • 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Afternoon Play & Socialization More yard time and indoor snuggles with our family and 6 children. There is always someone home to provide belly rubs and attention. • 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM: Dinner & Evening Potty Breaks Evening meals (fed individually) and a final round of yard time to burn off that last bit of energy. • 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM: Wind Down & Cuddles The pack settles in for the night. Whether they are sleeping in a crate or a cozy dog bed, they are monitored and tucked in for a good night's rest. Professional Oversight & Medical Safety With my background as a Veterinary Technician, safety is the lens through which I view everything. I perform "nose-to-tail" wellness checks on my guests daily, monitoring hydration, appetite, and bathroom habits. Because I am home full-time with my husband and our 6 children, your dog is under constant, active supervision. We don't just "watch" dogs; we manage their well-being. The "Rotational" Environment Our home is designed for high-capacity safety. We utilize a structured rotation system to ensure every dog gets the right type of interaction: • Feeding Security: We have a zero-risk feeding policy. All dogs are fed separately. This eliminates resource guarding and ensures that every dog eats exactly what they are supposed to (and gets their specific medications) without interference. • The “Nap” Zone: We utilize crates and gated zones for "decompression breaks." In a busy house, these scheduled rest periods are vital for keeping the pack's stress levels low and preventing over-stimulation. A Secure & Active Yard Our large backyard is fully fenced and double-checked daily for integrity. Whether your dog is playing fetch with our kids or lounging with our resident Lab and Husky, they are always within eyesight of an adult. Trust Built Over a Decade We have been boarding for 10 years and have safely managed multiple dogs. We are comfortable with all temperaments and medical needs. We treat your "fur baby" like a temporary member of our large, loving family, backed by the expertise of a seasoned professional.

“Angela was wonderful with our dog Stevie! Our home was left in perfect shape following the house/dog-sitting and Stevie was happy as can be during her stay with Angela.”

About: I’ve had my own dog for years and have also cared for dogs belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of ages, personalities, and routines. I’ve cared for senior dogs as well as dogs with special needs, strict medication schedules, and specific daily routines.I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and providing attentive, individualized care. Whether a dog needs medication, extra patience, a consistent routine, or simply plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! I have a super flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine while making sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care! I’m comfortable following individual feeding, medication, exercise, and potty schedules, and I’m happy to adjust my routine around a pet’s specific needs. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own! I carefully follow each owner’s instructions/routines, keep pets in a safe environment, and always make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape points are secure. I’m also attentive to each pet’s individual personality and boundaries, especially with shy, nervous, senior, or special-needs pets. I want both pets and their owners to feel safe, comfortable, and confident while they’re in my care!

“June took care of our two dogs for several days and was absolutely wonderful. She was clear and responsive in her communications before and during her stay. During the stay, it seems our dogs loved her and look to have had a great time while we were gone. We highly recommend June — and we look forward to working with her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Sarah. Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. This background gave me a deep understanding of animal behavior and taught me the responsibility it takes to keep pets happy, healthy, and safe. I love connecting with animals of all shapes and sizes, and I bring that dedicated, farm-raised work ethic to every pet I watch. It fits in with the care that I provide for my pet. Strict feedings schedules, walks, attention, bathroom breaks and being aware of how a pet is acting. Respect for the clients' rules about how they want their pet cared for and respect for their personal space. Also, making sure animals get along.

“I was only away for the better part of two days and one night but really appreciated that Chris texted updates and sent lots of pictures letting me know my sweeties were safe and happy. She even washed the sheets and remade her bed before she left!”

“I’m so thankful that Kathleen watched my pups while I was gone for an extended weekend. It was my first time using Rover and having someone stay overnight. Not only did Kathleen make the dogs feel at ease, she also made me feel at ease! She did a great job, checked in with me, and took special care of my senior pup. I highly recommend her.”
