House Sitting Woodland

“Julie watched our three pets for four nights while we were out of town and did a wonderful job. It was not the easiest situation as we have a highly anxious dog who is slow to warm up to new people and a high needs, elderly cat. We were worried about finding somebody to do all of the things involved in making it a stress free weekend for the animals, but Julie seemed to work magic and everyone was happy and well cared for while we were gone. Her communication was great and it was nice to get updates and know that I was OK back at home. We arrived home to happy animals and a very tidy house, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely have Julie over again the next time we go out of town. Highly recommend.”

“Julie was excellent! Our girl Moxie suffers from separation anxiety and Julie knew how to support her while we were gone. In addition, our house was so clean you wouldn’t have known anyone else had been there. Thank you, Julie!”

We cannot wait to work with you again. ❤️”

“Paige was wonderful. She sent me photos each day and my babies were all well taken care of - We will definitely use her again!”

“Jen was absolutely wonderful! She watched me and my husband’s fur babies while we were away for our wedding weekend. She sent me so many updates and pictures. I could truly tell that my kids were being well cared for and were happy! When we came back home our apartment was well kept and clean. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. We will be using her again for any future trips. Thank you Jen!”

About: My jack, Russell terrier, Chili passed away in August of 2022. The house feels empty without a dog running around, but I’m not quite ready to be a full-time permanent mom just yet. However, I would love to take care of your loved one in My Home, and the house would not feel so empty. I have a fenced in yard. It’s not very big but plenty of room for a small, medium dog. I make your pet my first priority. I used to work from home and that was great because I was able to be with the pups all day and night. I now will be in the office on most week days. I do not work far from home so if needed, I can pop in at lunchtime. I have a fenced yard. Your fur babies are welcome on my furniture and the bed but if you prefer them to be crated, that is fine too.

About: As a lifelong dog owner, I've spent years caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I've dog-sat for family, friends, and neighbors and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I'm comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, crate-trained dogs, and providing lots of attention and affection. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away, while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind. I work full-time during the week but have flexibility in my schedule to provide reliable pet care. I am available for walks and drop-in visits most afternoons and evenings, and I am available during my lunch breaks for select visits depending on location. I am also free most weekends and can provide plenty of attention, exercise, and care for your pets. I am committed to being dependable, communicative, and accommodating whenever possible Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand the importance of following each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. I always keep dogs securely leashed during walks, pay close attention to their behavior, and provide regular updates to owners. Whether caring for your pet in your home or during walks and drop-in visits, I will treat them with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own pets.

“Erica was wonderful! I had her house sit for me with my German Shepard and kitten and she went above and beyond to make sure she knew all of their needs. She stayed with them and gave them lots of attention. She was very good and giving me updates and pictures. I will definitely be using her from now on! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I've been actively caring for animals for more than 14 years :). Growing up, I regularly pet-sat for family friends, and my family often took in stray cats and litters of kittens, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all ages and personalities. Today, I have three cats of my own and continue to pet sit for friends and family. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, a consistent routine, or extra patience and attention, I'm committed to providing loving and reliable care while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a full-time job with a very flexible hybrid schedule. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I can work from anywhere, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide care, check-ins, walks, or companionship throughout the day. I'm also fully available on weekends. At home, I care for my three cats with my partner, which allows me the flexibility to accommodate pet sitting while ensuring every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to keeping them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you're away. I provide care that is tailored to each pet’s needs and routine, whether in my home or in a client’s home. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any specific instructions provided. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while their owners are away, along with regular updates for peace of mind. In my own home, pets are cared for in a calm and safe environment. I ensure they are supervised, given a consistent routine, and treated like part of the family. I currently have three cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to create a clean, low-stress space where animals feel secure and cared for.

“Highly recommend Vicki. Communicated and sent pictures regularly. House was clean and she even put clean sheets on our bed since we were coming in late and tired! I doubt our Zoe even missed us. We hope to use her again this summer if she’ll come back!!”

Jane P.

“Zachary was great! Gave awesome updates and took great care of my pup. Would book again!”

Kelsey P.

“Hannah was absolutely wonderful! During our meet and greet my animals loved her right away which is a big deal because they normally take awhile to warm up to new people. She was super communicative, sending lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay. Our place was clean and well kept when we arrived home. The animals were very happy and healthy as well. 10/10 would recommend Hannah for any pet sitting needs!”

Tanner W.

“Jeanne was amazing! She gave me updates the whole time I was away, and really looked after my babies. Oliver is the easy one, my Stormie can be a bit much in the skittish department but Jeanne really did wonders with her and had the patience of a saint with her. Jeanne is a great person, she is so easy to talk to and loves all fur babies! Will definitely as her again.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 12 years, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone caring and dependable to look after your pet. I have experience with the everyday things dogs need—like regular walks, feeding, playtime, and, most importantly, lots of love and attention. I’m patient, reliable, and always treat pets like they’re part of the family. Whether your dog is energetic or laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m available all day Saturday through Tuesday for walks, drop-ins, or sitting. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, I can do evening walks between 6–8 PM. Pet care fits easily into my week—I love spending time with animals! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I stick closely to their usual routines, keep a clean and calm environment, and always make sure they feel secure and loved. I’m respectful of your space and follow any instructions you provide, so your pet feels right at home—even when you’re away.

About: I know that finding someone to care for your dog is nerve-racking and the last thing you need when traveling or having a long day at work is to worry if your dog is safe and happy. Whether you need doggy day care, boarding, or someone to drop by and walk, play with, and feed your pup, you can be assured that your dog will get the VIP treatment and all the attention they deserve! I am a professor with a very flexible schedule. I am only required to be on campus for a couple hours at a time, so I am able to stay home with the pups for most of the day and provide frequent walks, play, and enrichment. I have been pet sitting for 15+ years, and I've always had dogs. My family has had standard poodles since before I was born, and now I have my own 6-year-old brown poodle, Marrón, who loves having dog friends over to visit. Dogs continuously amaze me with their intelligence and affection, and I aim to return all of the love they give to us. Dogs continue to *train me* on how to respect and work with pups to help them be happy and well-adjusted. I understand that each dog is a unique individual, and I love learning the quirks and needs of each dog. I have studied dog behavior and training and use science-based positive reinforcement methods. My goal is to help dogs and humans work as a team. I am comfortable with a wide range of dogs, from puppy to full-grown, small to large, and all breeds. While pet sitting or dog walking, I can help give your dogs the socialization and exercise they need, making sure they work their brains as well as their bodies. I am also happy to support any obedience and habit training that you are working on. I know that a well-exercised puppy or dog is a happy puppy/dog, and so I'm here to help you and your dog be as happy as possible together All potential clients must set up a meet and greet to ensure that my dog, Marrón, and your pooch get along. He is very social, so dogs who do not get along with other dogs would not be a good match. He does well with most dogs, and even if your dog doesn't love to play, he is ok just co-existing. I do separate the dogs periodically throughout the day for downtime and feeding, but I want to ensure that all dogs are comfortable and happy co-existing in the home together. (Please note: My doggie daycare price is for a standard 8-hour workday. For half days or extended hours longer than 8 hours, we will adjust the price accordingly. As a professor, I have a fairly flexible schedule, so I can adjust my schedule around the dogs in my care. I am only required to be on campus for a couple of hours at a time, so I am able to stay home with the pups for most of the day and provide frequent walks, play, and enrichment. While I am home most of the day, I do sometimes leave for a couple of hours, so your dog needs to be comfortable being left alone for brief periods of time, whether in the house or in a crate. My typical schedule with my standard poodle is 6-8am - Long Morning Walk or playing at local dog park. Then breakfast 8am-Midday - Downtime (with pee or play breaks as needed for puppies, seniors, or special needs) Midday - Short walk and play break Afternoon - Downtime (with pee or play breaks as needed for puppies, seniors, or special needs) ~ 4-7pm Long walk and outside play (weather permitting). If it's too hot, then enrichment games and play inside after all dogs have relieved themselves. Dinner Evening chill time and cuddle. Last potty break before bedtime. Your dog will be treated like a member of my family. I do my best to help dogs feel comfortable and like to know what rules and routines they are used to at home, so I can provide that here. I will provide the appropriate walks, exercise, and activities for your pup. Marrón is very active, so we go on at least 2 long walks a day and to the dog park in our complex, in addition to more frequent potty breaks. In addition to the dog park in my complex, I live down the street from a larger dog park, and in a very walkable neighborhood. If your dog is not good with dog parks, we will go on walks and find other ways to get them safe exercise and enrichment! I live in a 2br, 2-story apartment, which is set up for maximum dog fun and safety. I can gate off each room to give the dogs their own space, and I tend to do so periodically during the day to give them breaks from playing and to let them eat and nap in peace. I do not take more than 2 dogs at a time, and only when I know that they will get along. So your dog will get lots of attention. If your dog is crate-trained, I can set your crate up in my house, in my bedroom or in my living room, based on your preference. I also have two crates that I can set up for your dog if they are comfortable in crates other than their own.
