House Sitting Windward Trail

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life. At 13, I started a neighborhood dog-walking business for owners who were “too pooped to walk their dogs,” which quickly grew into in-home and overnight dog sitting. I got my first dog at age ten and trained her myself, and I’ve since attended multiple dog training classes because I genuinely enjoy working with dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for pugs, golden doodles, pit bulls, and more for families that I have worked with through high school and college. Now that I have my own home (next to a park) I’m excited to start again with plenty of space, structure, and love for every pup. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m an emergency nurse and work three days a week (every other weekend). This gives me most weekdays free and flexible for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. On my off days, I enjoy staying active with walking, running, and hiking, and I love including dogs in those activities for both exercise and enrichment. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives consistent attention, timely care, and plenty of love. Safety and trust are my top priorities. As an emergency nurse, I have strong medical training and stay calm and attentive in all situations, including emergencies. I closely follow pet parents’ instructions and routines in both my home and theirs, ensuring a low-stress, loving environment. I provide supervised play, secure walks, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Living next to a park gives dogs safe space to explore, exercise, and enjoy structured outdoor time while always being carefully monitored.

“Jayda was wonderful! She was very patient with our very extremely shy Sheba. She kept us updated and asked questions. I am very thankful she was there for my girl!”

“Jenn was so helpful and communicative and really made it easier for me to leave the pups at home. She provided updates and pictures and helped me feel at ease! Absolutely would recommend!”

Molly P.

“Mary was great house sitting and watching my two high energy dogs (Aussies)! She did daily walks as well as playing in the back yard + was able to accommodate their special needs (prescription food for one and chewable meds for the other). I would absolutely recommend her as a dog walker or sitter as she loved my dogs a whole lot.”

About: Growing up, my family always had at least two dogs at all times. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I love taking care of and spending time with other people’s dogs. 🩷 I am a teacher by day (Aug-end of May) and dog sitter on the side! I love kids but dogs truly have my heart. The bigger, the better! I am a teacher, so I will be gone from 6:30am-3:30pm. I have watched dogs while I’ve been at school who are used to be alone for an extended amount of time but but I will walk them prior to leaving for work and then spend the evening with them once I get home. :) ***If your dog isn’t used to being alone while I would be at work, I do have someone who can check on your pet and also take them out midday while I’m at work! :) Although I do not have a fenced in yard, my neighborhood community has a fenced in dog park area to give your dog(s) the space and freedom to roam as needed. :)

About: Future veterinary student, I have a large range of animals I know how to take care of. I’ve done lots of fostering, and have gotten great results from anyone whose animal I’ve taken care of. I own my own nail business, so my schedule I’m able to set myself for flexibility already. When I’m home I’m constantly taking care of my animals, so having others to take care of works perfect for my lifestyle. In my home your animal, I will still maintain your animals by your rules, as far as feeding and bathroom schedules, and general house rules. In your home I will provide every amount of care that you ask of me to your animal.

About: I had multiple dogs all of my life and have taken care of horses and barn cats. Love all animals and want to make sure that they are doing amazing while you are away. I have pet sitted on and off over the years for friends and even flew to Las Vegas to petsit for an extended weekend. I’m currently working full time but can do late night drop ins, walks and am available any time on the weekends. Typically on the weekends I am free/flexible for any time, except the few times I’m out of town. Before letting pets out in fenced areas I double check gates are closed and latched before letting out. For any pets that are walked I ensure that they are leashed before heading out the door and do not take the leash off until inside with the door closed. I have an escape artist of myself at home so I know what to look for. I can easily place your pet in a crate before leaving if that is necessary.

About: I have always grown up with pets: 3 dogs, 1 cat, and a beared dragon. I have helped train a puppy, cared for a dying senior dog, and everything in between. I have experience with pets who have high energy, anxiety, dietary needs, and physical disabilities. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to pet sit, drop in, provide over night care, and walk their dogs. I have worked at a dog groomer for over 2 years, which has given me experience with a wide variety of animals and their temperaments. I’m a full time student at Clemson University who has most afternoons/ evenings and weekend free to care for your pets! I am studying wildlife conservation so spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do! Following instructions, I can care for your pet however you direct me to. I am comfortable taking your dog for walks/ hikes, playing indoors and outdoors, dosing medications, keeping up with training, and providing all the love and comfort your pet will need while you are away!

“Aubrey took care of our sweet Morty for a few days. Morty has some health challenges, and Aubrey was confident administering all of his meds. She was communicative, and we really appreciate the care she provided to Morty.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds! I grew up with cats and dogs and helped my grandparents with all of their farm animals as well! I worked at a grooming Salon in Austin Texas for a few years so I know all about all the different kinds of pet temperaments! I’m extremely reliable and will make sure you feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away. I know how important updates and photos are to people so we will take lots of those as well. You can count on me to love your pet like it’s my own while you are gone, thank you for your consideration! I am currently working a couple days a week but have so much extra time to care for your pets! I will plan my schedule around yours to make sure you’re comfortable. I have a fenced backyard and all the room to play! I am very trustworthy and will love on your pet the whole time! They will be with me most of the time and I’ll check in with you often so you have peace of mind.

About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a proud cattle dog mom, lifelong animal lover, and the kind of person who will absolutely greet your dog before I acknowledge you. Nothing personal. 😂 By day, I’m an HR Director who works primarily from home, which means I spend a lot of time on my computer and would LOVE to have your four legged coworker supervising my productivity. I can offer plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and, of course, a very competitive employee benefits package consisting of belly rubs and compliments. As a dog mom myself, I completely understand that leaving your babies with someone else is a big deal (I have a 5 page printed PDF with instructions for my pup!). I promise to treat them like my own, respect their routines, and provide the kind of care that lets you actually enjoy your time away instead of checking your phone every five minutes. Whether your pup is an energetic adventurer, a professional napper, a stage five clinger, or a tiny dictator who runs the household, I’m happy to accommodate their management style. I offer boarding, house sitting, drop in visits, medicine administration, and dog walking. I’m dependable, attentive, and fully prepared to send you an unreasonable number of pictures accompanied by updates about how adorable your baby is being. My goal? Happy dogs, happy humans, and absolutely no complaints filed with HR. I can’t wait to meet your babies! ❤️🐶 I work full-time as an HR Director, but primarily from home, which means my coworkers frequently have four legs and absolutely no respect for personal space. 😂 My remote schedule gives me flexibility for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I can accommodate boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking around my work commitments. Whether your baby needs a midday adventure or just someone to supervise their very demanding nap schedule, I’m happy to help! As a dog mom myself, I know that trusting someone with your pets is basically like handing over your children (except these children occasionally eat things they shouldn’t). 😂 Whether I’m welcoming your dog into my home or caring for them in yours, their safety, comfort, and routine are my priorities. I’ll follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, household rules, and any special care needs. I’m also a big believer in getting to know each dogs personality, boundaries, and quirks before assuming we’re best friends. I have a fenced in backyard and a cattle dog who loves welcoming a playmate to her crib! However, if staying in your home, she will be staying at her own! I treat clients’ homes with the same respect I’d expect for my own, and you’ll receive regular updates and pictures so you know your baby is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: happy dogs, peace of mind for their humans, and absolutely no unauthorized house parties while you’re gone. 🐾❤️

Animals are a huge part of my life and I would love to help others feel safe knowing that a true animal lover is watching over their pet.

It brings me joy to allow you to enjoy your time away from home without worrying about that family member you left behind I have taken care of my own animals since I was a child. I have watched many of my friends animals. I will respect our arrangement, your home (if I'm taking care of your pet at your resident), and above all I will respect your pet. Why I love dog sitting I have always had a love for dogs. I do not currently have any animals, but they have always been such a huge part of my life. I always treat animals like they are my own family,and the same love will be given to your pet! My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication given the proper instructions. I work from home and I am available to be with your animal for the majority of the time they are in my care. I am also naturally a home body so your pet will rarely be alone! I will respect are agreement and will treat your animal with the same love and respect I would treat one of my own. You can feel at ease knowing the person caring for your animal actually cares.

“Kathryn was wonderful! From her communication to her natural ability to bring a calm presence to my anxious pup, she was great from start to finish. She was communicative, flexible, and timely, and made both my dog and me feel completely at ease. I would highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her again!”

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a pet owner myself, I’ve had multiple dogs and have provided pet sitting services for countless dogs and cats over the years. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and animals that require medication or extra attention. The most I’ve cared for at one time is two dogs and two cats, so I’m comfortable managing multiple pets while ensuring each one receives the care and attention they deserve. I genuinely love animals and have the flexibility to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for your pets while you’re away. Over the next few months, I’ll be out of school, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends to accommodate your pet care needs, whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I treat every home with respect, keep a clean environment, and make sure doors, gates, and other safety measures are always secure. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I take pride in my ability to communicate and treat other people as well as animals with mutual respect. ✝️💪🏼 I am currently a full time student for nursing. I have class Monday-Friday but should be available later in the afternoon/evening. We will just have to communicate which is fine. I also go to the gym and to church on Sundays ✝️💪🏼. I have pets that are indoor and I let them out to play outside in a fenced in back yard. I also walk my pets to help them with their health and mine as well as getting rid of some built up energy that they may have.

“We had a wonderful experience with Sarah! She took great care of our Charlie and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who understands that pets are family. I provide attentive, personalized care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppies to senior. I have worked with dogs that have had trauma in the past and special needs. My goal is simple, to make your pets feel happy, secure, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. If your pet loves attention, belly rubs, playtime, treats, or simply having someone nearby who truly cares we’ll get along great. I’m the kind of sitter who talks to pets like they’re people, notices the little things, and makes sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I know how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your furry family member, so I focus on reliability, communication, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Expect lots of updates, adorable photos, and a pet who’s excited to see me again. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and building consistent routines around their care. I have a flexible schedule and make it a priority to provide your fur babies with the attention, exercise, companionship, and reliability they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply giving them extra love and attention, I enjoy making pet care a meaningful part of my day. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for your fur babies both in my home and in my clients’ homes. In my home, they are treated like part of the family and receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I offer boarding in a home with a secure fenced in yard, which gives dogs a safe space for exercise, outdoor time, and play. I make it a priority to maintain each ones normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions from the owner. I also understand how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos to help parents feel comfortable and connected while they are away. When caring for them in a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and focus on keeping your fur baby comfortable in their familiar environment while ensuring they receive dependable, attentive care.

About: I’ve taken care of my community’s pets since I was 17. I’ve cared for almost all kinds of pets. Cats, dogs, birds, lizards, you name it! I always try to go the extra mile so that pet parents not only come home to a happy, healthy pet; but a clean and well-cared for home! I am a middle school band director who works 7-3 most days. However, I can go before and after school care and I can spend nights! My kittens get fed twice a day, they get a new toy once a month and go to the vet once a month! They also have their litter box scooped every night and cleaned once a week. They even sleep in the bed with me. If I’m caring for dogs, they go on at least 3 walks a day of varying length (depending on the dog). I frequently watch a 13 year old pug who can’t stay out very long, so he goes on 3, 10-minute walks a day. However, if your dog has the endurance to go on a longer walk/run with me - I’ll take them up to 3 miles!

About: I have been around animals my entire life and have always had pets in my household. At one point, I lived in a home with 12 dogs and 2 cats, so I am very comfortable caring for multiple pets, different personalities, and different breeds. I currently have a 2-year-old Standard Poodle of my own who is very loved and well cared for. I am also a mom of three, a nursing student, and a business owner, so I am responsible, organized, dependable, and used to managing a busy schedule. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I will treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and care that I give my own. I make my own work schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet walks, drop-ins, and sittings into my routine. I’m also currently in nursing school, so I only work part-time. This allows me to plan my schedule around both school and pet care, making sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. For the Safety, Trust & Environment section, you could put: I always make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines. I’m very attentive and will treat your pet like one of my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m also respectful of their space and make sure everything is secure before I leave.
