House Sitting in Wolcott

“August was a wonderful caregiver to our 2 mid-sized labrador mix dogs, one 12yrs, one 6yrs. August slept in our home during our family's wk long vacation. They provided several walks a day, fed, medicated and supported a relaxing, consistent environment for our beloved pups. Our older dog required medical support while in Augusts' care. August maintained conversation, with health updates with our veterinarian and myself which allowed me peace of mind while we were traveling. August was able to set up and manage playdates and excursions with our friends for our 2 pups. August left our home and our pups in perfect shape and I was very grateful for their presence. I highly recommend August and will absolutely use them again.”

“Dana was absolutely fabulous! From our first meeting with her, until the end of her stay, she was great. We've been looking for a dog/house sitter for a while now, and she exceeded all expectations. She kept our little one very happy, our house in tip-top shape, and sent us multiple updates each day. We're so thrilled and look forward to booking Dana again.”

About: Tell your dog I said hi!!! I have taken care of pets since I was 10. My family and friends rely on me regularly to keep their homes and animals safe! I am in between jobs right now, so I have all the time to care for your loved ones and can stay at your home during the day if wanted!

About: I know firsthand how important our furry friends are, which makes it my upmost priority to ensure that your critters are receiving the best possible care. Whether they need someone to keep them company or someone to go on adventures with them, I do everything to make sure they’re happy and healthy. I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by both cats and dogs, and I know just how much work it takes to make sure they’re treated right. If you need a hand with your furry friends, I’m here to help! DESERT72563, https://www.rover.com/sit/desert72563 Incorporating pet care into my daily or weekly routine involves tasks such as feeding, grooming, exercise, and companionship. Setting aside specific times each day for feeding and play/exercise sessions, schedule regular grooming sessions based on my pet's needs, and ensuring to spend quality time bonding with my pet. It's also important to factor in veterinarian appointments, cleaning up after my pet, and providing mental stimulation through training or enrichment activities. 1. Feeding: Following feeding schedules, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions. Ensure that fresh water is always available for the pets. 2. Exercise and Playtime: Engage pets in regular exercise and play sessions to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. This can include activities like walking, playing with toys, or interactive play with us. 3. Grooming: Depending on the type of pet, grooming needs may vary. Brush their fur regularly, trim their nails when necessary, and keep their ears and teeth clean. 4. Litter Box Maintenance: For cats, regularly clean the litter box to ensure hygiene and prevent any litter box issues. Replace the litter as needed. 5. Medication and Health Care: If my pet requires medication, follow the instructions provided by the (vet) administer it as directed. Always attentive to any signs of illness or discomfort and inform the vet if conditions worsens. 6. Safety and Security: Ensuring that the environment is safe for the pets by removing any hazards or toxic substances. Keep doors and windows secure to prevent pets from accidents. 7. Communication with the Patrons: Maintaining open and clear communication with the pet patrons. I will provide regular updates on the pet's well-being, any concerns or issues that arise, and I will follow any specific instructions or preferences patrons may have. Remembering, every pet is unique, so it's important to tailor care to their individual needs. Always prioritize the well-being and safety of the pets I am responsible for.

“First time using Rover, and we found Lauren. Glad we did. We had her come over and meet the dogs. They all approved so we had her come back for a night of 'baby'sitting. Lauren showed up at the exact time discussed, and addressed each dog by name when they greeted her at the door. We hung out for a little bit and could see how comfortable she was with them, and they with her. First time my wife and I were able to leave the house together for more than 4 hours. Thank you, Lauren.”

About: I grew up on a horse farm so animals have been the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I was raised caring for animals and that experience shaped not only my skillset, but my soul. Connecting with animals is second nature to me, and I believe it’s my greatest strength. Whether it’s providing gentle care to senior pets, keeping up with energetic puppies!, or understanding the subtle emotional cues of animals, I offer a level of awareness and devotion that I believe sets me apart. Your pets are more than just animals- they’re family, and I’ll care for them with the same love, responsibility, and attention I give to my own. I work for my family so I have the opportunity to plan my schedule which allows me the freedom and more availability to do other things I enjoy- like this! My top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs — from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and walking routes. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your instructions to the letter, making sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I’m highly attentive, always observing for changes in behavior or health, and I communicate regularly with updates and photos. My goal is for you to feel complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved pet is in the hands of someone who truly cares and is fully present.

About: I grew up in rural Montana and I have had experiences with every sort of animal: wild, farm, and domestic. My parents helped foster my love of animals by providing my brothers and I small aquatic critters, along with always having an expanding roster of cats and dogs. I know how not to get kicked by a horse, trampled by moose, or pinched by a hermit crab named Cracky. I am a massive homebody on the weekends and most weekdays. My most wild nights lately have been spent exploring the Wegmans and Trader Joe’s. Am I boring? Probably! But also very dependable. I am insured privately for pet sitting, dog walking, and grooming services so you can have extra peace of mind (and so can I!). I have a two pet friendly animals who are below 20lbs. The little dog is blind and older, but still loves to play with medium sized dogs and dogs who are gentle. I am lucky to live semi-rurally while being in town and have lots of room for dogs to stretch their legs, with 8 acres of forest and meadow. I just got chickens but they are kept separate from my pet sitting clients. For drop-in visits, I am able to do walks, outdoor play, indoor play, feeding, and any other pet related activities that you require.

“Noreen was great with Sanabel and caring for our home. We arrived home to a very happy dog. The communication was daily and detailed. House was very cared for and how we left it. I would highly recommend Noreen caring for your pet.”

“Heather was wonderful with our senior dog, Pippin. Though he doesn't have a complex routine to follow, he's a quirky guy that likes to be VERY close to his person, is forgetful, and sometimes barky due to his age. Heather "got" Pippin right away. We felt she genuinely understood his habits and his singular approach to life. Heather sent just the right amount of updates and photos. Pippin was in good hands with Heather. We are very grateful to her and highly recommend her!”
