House Sitting in Wingate

About: I’ve stayed in households with many pets from reptiles to dogs and cats. I’ve house sat many times for pets. And I’d like to think animals like me as much as I like them Currently a college football who has a lot of free time in the off season and on weekends. Trying to fill this time with something productive but good for me Animals are always happy with me…wether that be because of treats or how I treat them I make sure that animals have been properly fed and took to the bathroom

“Laura was amazing. Kept us informed on everything and sent lots of pics. She even made collars for our babies. That was so nice and sweet of her. She kept the house clean and followed all the instructions on the care that they require.”

“Jill is AMAZING! Our pup has pretty severe separation anxiety and is shy around new people, so we were a little nervous to leave her with a sitter for the first time. Turns out we had nothing to worry about — Jill was incredibly understand, kind and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure Aspen was comfortable and happy. Will absolutely rebook in the future. She is just the best!”

About: I have had a passion since I was little. Started with volunteering at animal shelters, ended up training abused rescues. Wanted an easy job that involves my passion of helping and understanding animals. I do have part time work for a couple places including the school system. But I have more than enough time to take in extra animal care. I do have a fenced yard but we have a current dog with behavior issues. I always use a leash and maintain cleanliness and safety at others homes!

About: I’ve worked in the pet care industry for five years. That’s given me the opportunity to care for almost every breed, I’ve seen every temperament. I absolutely can confidently care all shapes and sizes! With my current job, I have a break in between shifts. I’m available morning, mid day, and also nights/evenings. My schedule is pretty flexible. I’m able to accommodate many requests. I am willing to follow whatever routine you normally have at home! Anything that gives your pet a peace of mind and keeps them comfortable while you’re away!

About: Hi!! Born and raised in Alaska, I have my way down south to play soccer and study at Wingate University! A little bit about me - I had a dog for 18 years of my life and have taken care of every kind of dog (and other pets) since I was about 14. I LOVE animals and treat the ones I care for like my very own, which brings me not only joy but a lot of repeat customers! I also have experience fostering puppies/dogs. To add, I have experience with senior dogs and administering medicines. I am also very active and love getting outside/playing with your pets! I am a student athlete at Wingate University, however my schedule in the spring is fairly light. I have a couple classes in the morning and then am free for a couple hours during the day until practice at 4pm that usually lasts about 1-2 hours. I am completely free in the evening after that! Pet care would fit into my weekly routine per request of the client. Drop ins, walks, or check ins would be very doable, realistic, and enjoyable for me to do throughout the week! I care for the pets as I would care for my own. I take notes and make sure to follow all the clients requests about food, boundaries, behaviors, and anything else that is necessary. I also love to keep in touch with the client by sending them pictures/updates of their fur babies, especially if I am watching them for an extended period of time. If the client wanted to meet me prior to allowing me to care for their dog, I would gladly do so!

About: I have been raised with a pet by side. When I have born we had two brittany spaniels that have since passed on. In 8th grade, after they passed, we adopted another puppy brittany. A year later, we adopted another, to have our current pair of brittanys. So I have experience raising puppies as well. I play with them outdoors and indoors, brush them, clean up their poop, bath them, feed them, and train them. They also get taken on walks at the local forest preserve for stimulation. I have experience in caring for fish and snakes. Between dogs, I had my cat to keep me company. She is solely my cat, so she got the same attention as the dogs, plus I bought her toys, treats, litter, and food. Outside of my dogs I have pet sit goldens labs, goldendoodles, springer spaniels, and many other breeds. As in my headline, I don't think any animal is low maintenance. That just means the pet isn't getting the care it deserves. I had my cat at my dorm first semester, and I fed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made sure to play with twice a day and we played birds on the tv for stimulation as well. I had a weekly schedule to brush her twice a week, and clean the litter box every Sunday and Wednesday. At home I would alternate playing with my dogs, training, and brushing them whenever possible. I can play indoors and outdoors. I can take the animal for walks. Clean up any potential messes, such as muddy dogs or if a cat has a hairball. I can accompany senior pets that need help eating. I can brush the animal. And feed them, and do basic training.

“Shalisha was so great with our pup Morris, entertaining him during rainy/snowy days with new toys and sending us frequent updates. She left our home in good shape and we’d love to work with her again!”

About: I believe your best-friend deserves to be pampered every day, so they can smother you in love every night! Dog walks are far more than a loop around the block. I will ensure that your pets are given the proper amount of water, love and a sweep of potential hazards before leaving. I work part-time, leaving me lots of time to play with your pets throughout the work week! Additionally, I am available for weekend drop ins so you can go on vacation. Making sure my pets are in good health, and well taken care of is the first step to my morning routine. Making sure yours are the same will be my second step.

“Samantha did a great job with Sammie while we were gone. She sent pictures and took her for a walk every day. We will definitely use her again.”

Mandy G.

“Thammy was the best choice, she is just perfect! for the first time we traveled with peace of mind and she took great care of our little girls!”

Melany J.

“Anna was wonderful. We just moved and needed a short notice sitter. She worked with me on logistics and kept our three dogs healthy and happy for a few days while we were gone. She updated us with pictures every day and kept me posted on how the dogs were doing and behaving. I am so glad that we found a great sitter so soon!”
