House Sitting in Wood

About: I have had decades of experience walking and caring for dogs, cats, frogs, lizards, turtles, parrots, poultry and more. I have taken care of big dogs and little dogs, cats and kittens. I am familiar with giving medications to animals, as well. I work part time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I am a licensed paramedic and educator just earning extra income. I keep parrots and poultry currently with cats and dogs. I have had had herps and reptiles in the past, as well. I will treat your pets like they were my own. I know the anxiety of having to leave pets to get out of town and will do everything I can to make sure you don't regret it.

“If you’re in an area that Mike services I highly recommend using him. He went above and beyond caring for our pets. Will definitely be using Mike in the future.”

“Ben did an amazing job watching our two dogs! It was the first time that we have left our puppy with anyone. Therefore, I was bit anxious but Ben was communicative and great with the dogs which put me at ease allowing us to enjoy our long weekend away. I was also very appreciative about his willingness to stay at our house in the middle of nowhere. I highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

“Rachel took excellent care of my geriatric doggie. She communicated with me nearly every day. Rachel is attentive and thorough. She also took great care of my house and watered a few plants for me. She is extremely responsible and I would highly recommend her to watch your puppy!”

“Delaney was fantastic! Was available sort of last-minute and took excellent care of the pets and the house. When I got home, I honestly couldn't tell anyone had even been here, but for the fact that the pets were happy and healthy. :-) She sent updates and pictures, and I never had a worry. I look forward to having her here again.”

About: Call me Kat or Anna! I've been living with animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. From the age of 13, I have been taking care of my neighbours' and family friends' pets when they ask. I've got experience with rodents, lizards, cats, and dogs, but I'm not afraid to learn new animals! I've got particular experience with special needs pets, including post-surgery care, asthma, seniors, separation anxiety, leaky bladders, and daily oral/injection medication. I'm not squeamish around messes, smells, or loud noise. I've cared for nearly every personality out there, and whether your pet wants space, cuddles, or needs a bath, I'll help out for as long as you and your pets need, no matter how many or how weird they are! I'm currently a college student and take classes on monday/wednesday from 12pm-3pm and tuesday/thursday from 6pm-9pm. During those hours, I will not be available. I am happy to care for your pets anytime other than that, however, even on holidays! Personally, I use free-feeding (there's always kibble in the bowl) and positive reinforcement with my pets. They're only allowed outside under supervision, I clean the litter boxes every other day, I play with them daily, and special treats are highly encouraged. Of course, other houses have different care plans, and I am flexible. I will never enter any areas of your home you have not given me permission to access unless it is an emergency, I will clean your house before leaving if it is an overnight stay, and I will always alert you via a text message when I enter or leave your home so that you know your pet is being looked after. If you have other requests regarding your pet and home, such as getting mail, watering plants, etc, I am more than happy to oblige.

“So amazing!!!! I had never left my sweet baby with anyone except my parents before. But when we all went on vacation together, I had to find someone - I’m SO happy/grateful that I found Bradishia. She knew I was nervous leaving Jelly, so she sent me a lot of pictures and updates which made me feel so much better. She left my apartment VERY clean and spotless and even washed the towels before leaving. She rocks!!”

“Kallie was awesome always keeping me informed what was going on with my dogs. My dogs loved her! I highly recommend recommend her!”

About: I am currently pursuing my X-ray tech degree, and while in school, I work at a local bakery that offers me the flexibility to help care for your pets. I recently transitioned from the veterinary field, where I gained extensive experience handling medical needs for animals. With years of hands-on care for dogs, cats, and even horses, I’ve worked with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m passionate about providing reliable, loving, and knowledgeable care, ensuring every pet gets the attention they deserve. I am currently working full time at a local bakery while pursuing my X-ray tech degree, with most of my classes online. I’m looking for a part-time job on my days off. My schedule can vary, but I typically know my availability about two weeks in advance. Having recently left the veterinary field, I bring years of hands-on experience and a strong medical background. I’m committed to making your time away less stressful by providing attentive care along with daily photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I take pleasure in creating enrichment activities that suit each pet’s energy and interest. This could mean trips to the dog park, going for walks, engaging in a training session, or using treat-dispensing puzzles to keep their minds active and entertained.

“We would highly recommend Jay! - Always arrived on time - gave medication on the right time - played with and walk the doggie - great communication and very considerate. After a previous the dog sitter cancel the day-of, Jay’s willingness to help and great communication were what we need to calm our minds and hearts - we were already on a cruise and our little girl was by herself. Our doggie is super picky about people (she ignores those she doesn’t care about and plays with those she likes), she is older dog with lots of special needs (medication and stuff). After Jay told me she was playing with her toys, that was such a relief for us, because right then we knew Jay was a good fit for our little Ginger. Details: we hired Jay for 5 days to dog sit for most of the day, as our doggie needs to go out a lot due to her medication and health issues. No accidents seemed had happened and Jay kept the house clean and organized.”

About: I’ve owned animals my whole life, especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own who are very spoiled. I would love to meet your dog(s) and take some stress off of your day. Thank u! I am a part time college student going to class late on Tuesday and Thursday . I work from 9-5 on Wednesday and Friday and 9-3 on Saturday at a furniture store in Madisonville. I have plenty of down time all throughout the week. I will accommodate any needs that you have for your pet(s) in your home. I would love to take them out for walks or take them out to play and burn off some steam like I do for my own dogs.

“Five stars isn’t enough — Preston is the real deal. As professional dog daycare and boarding operators, we have extremely high standards for who we trust with our animals and our home. Preston didn’t just meet those standards — he obliterated them. Our four boys were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved when we got home. The house was spotless. And Preston had already handled everything. Here’s what truly set him apart: he noticed an ear infection developing in one of our dogs — something that requires a practiced, attentive eye — arranged transportation to and from the vet, cleaned the ear, and administered the post-visit medication. All on his own. That’s not just good pet sitting. That’s genuine expertise and real initiative. We’ve been in the pet care industry. We know what great care looks like. Preston is the rare kind of sitter you hope exists but rarely find on any platform. If you’re on the fence about booking him — stop deliberating. Book Preston. We won’t use anyone else.”

“Kelley was great. Truly great. All of our dogs were happy and well cared for. Kelley provided good updates and pictures throughout her engagement and left the house cleaner then when she arrived. Looking forward to working with her again.”

“Wendy was excellent with Bodhi and Grace and took care with my home. She shared multiple updates on the dogs, walked them, and was flexible. I highly recommend Wendy and will use her again.”

About: I've had dogs all of my adult life. We have always connected, they love me as much as I love them. I have had many dogs and a few cats, some of which have various special needs as they aged. Most of my animals have been rescues, they take a bit of time to figure out any special or different needs since we usually don't know where they came from. Currently we have 2 senior dogs that are very spoiled! I am retired and looking to do something I love for some extra income. I can think of nothing better than to help care for your pets while you are away. My schedule is pretty open. I will be available unless I have another booking or we are on vacation. Overnight visits include and special care for a 12 hour time frame which would also include evening and morning feeding, walks and or letting out. Two daily check ins for potty breaks or walking is also included. I do not offer care in my home, my 2 senior dogs are not very tolerant to competition. Before a first visit we will do a meet and greet, no charge to you. A bit of time to meet each other and your pets. At that time we will discuss all that is required in your absence.

About: I’ve been taking care of neighbors pets while their way, and cared for seniors pets who might need the extra support with pets since I was 14.

I’ve been a care taker for other pets for 4 years now and have experience in over night stays, walking pets, caring for pets basic needs, and handling more than one animal. Since I’m home during the summer, I’m available anytime clients may need! I’ve never had my own pets, but from previous clients with stayed over night with clients pets, cared for young puppies at 5 months, outside time and walks, and of course caring for basic needs. I find pleasure in caring for pets and want to give them a safe and fun environment for our time together!
