House Sitting Xenia

“I rarely leave my pets with non-family members, and it was such a relief finding Devin and Kelsey to stay with them for an extended stay. They were more than willing to come over for multiple drop-in visits prior to my trip to spend time with me personally, learn the pets’ routines, and let my dog and cat get to know and enjoy them. They’re kind, responsible people with a definite way with animals and commitment to their care. We communicated daily and the pictures of obviously happy pets were very much appreciated. I fully anticipate having them back for future visits! Thanks so much you two!!”

About: I’ve had experience caring for both dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide patient, loving, and reliable care that helps them feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, administering basic care, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I’m comfortable caring for energetic dogs who love to play as well as older dogs who may need a calmer environment and extra patience. I always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure your pet feels happy and cared for. As a pet lover, I treat every animal as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work part-time and have a flexible schedule. As someone who’s new to the area, I’m excited to make connections within the community while doing something I genuinely love. I enjoy being outdoors rain or shine, so daily walks, playtime, and exercise are something I look forward to. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and routine. I believe every pet deserves plenty of attention, love, and reliable care, and I treat each one as if they were my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs your pet may have. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while keeping their environment clean and safe. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I prioritize communication by providing regular updates and photos throughout my visits or stay. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet by treating them with the same care and love I would give my own animals.

“Alisha followed our dog caring instructions expertly. She was very communicative and sent pictures. And left our house in excellent condition. Felt very comfortable leaving our two dogs with her. Would book her again. 10 out of 10.”

“Grace was fantastic. She stayed with my three dogs for ten days and sent pictures and updates on everyone. Great at communicating and left the home in great order. Will definitely use her services in the future!”

“Tiffany did a great job taking care of our pets and small hobby farm. She communicated regularly before, during, and after our trip. Tiffany was also flexible when unexpected things came up. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Courtney did a fantastic job with our two German Shepherds and cat. From our first meeting, I could tell Courtney has a love for animals and truly has their best interests in mind. This was our first time working with Courtney and we were gone for a whole week. Courtney sent us pictures throughout the day, updated us on how our pets were doing, and carefully cared for them as if they were her own. One of our dogs is aging and has difficulty walking, especially in the heat. Courtney provided him excellent care and monitored his health through the excessive heat warnings and storms. In addition, our home was kept in great condition while we were away. There is nothing better than walking into your home after a week away to find a clean house and happy, safe pets! I recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter! We have already rebooked with her for our next trip!”

“I would book Aubrey again and again because she’s so attentive and observant! Kane loves going on walks with her! Sends tons of photos and a description everyday!”

“Jessica was absolutely fantastic while caring for our dog, Bella, during our trip to New York City. From the moment we met her, it was obvious how much she genuinely loves animals, and that care and compassion showed throughout Bella's entire stay. We received updates that gave us peace of mind, and it was clear Bella was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. What really impressed us was the extra level of care Jessica provided around our home. Not only did she leave everything spotless, but I honestly think the house was cleaner than when we left. She even started the laundry for the bedsheets she used before leaving—something we never expected and certainly didn't ask her to do. Those thoughtful touches speak volumes about her character and professionalism. We would not hesitate to book Jessica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to look after their pets. Bella was in excellent hands!”

“Quinn was absolutely amazing with our pups! We had a last minute trip that required someone to stay with our dogs at our house for 7 days and Quinn went over and beyond. She took our dogs to the apartment dog park daily and played with them for hours. Would recommend Quinn to anyone needing a loyal pet sitter who will treat your animals like her own. When we returned she washed all the bed sheets and tidy up the house so we returned to a clean home.”

“As first time Rover clients, we couldn't be happier with the service and Jenna in particular! She was kind and compassionate and helped our old boy feel safe and comfortable.”

About: From keeping care of my family pets in the absence of my parents at a young age to spending late nights as a sitter for neighbors’ dogs, I have taken careful care of dogs in all shapes and sizes since I was twelve. I love snuggling and bonding with dogs, and I adore being there for them when their furball parents are unable to be with them. I’m a part-time worker at a hotel on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I work the evening shifts from 3-11pm. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I’m available to spend time with your pups all day! I love walking, and I would love to take your dog on my daily five mile walk with me as a fluffy partner in crime. I strive to create a friendly and loving environment for the doggies I watch. By providing them with quality time such as walking, playing with toys, or simply lying on the couch together, I will give your pup a space of peace and care while you’re away.

“Second time using Allison and I absolutely trust that my dogs are happy and safe in her care. She truly goes above and beyond, which gives me real peace of mind while I’m away on vacation. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Carol was great with miggie. I will see if I can get her again if I need a dog sitter. Thanks again Carol.”

About: I am a veterinary student at ISU with experience pet sitting, caring for shelter animals, and clinical care. I am comfortable caring for pets with special diets and administration of oral medicine. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, and I have flexibility in caring for pets of varying activity levels. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I have school during the days, but im available during the lunch hours from 11-1 for walks. Im free after 5pm Monday-Friday and i have full availability on the weekends. Your pets comfortable is my number 1 concern so I have no problem coming to you or taking your pet to their favorite park. I'm comfortable walking larger dogs that pull the leash and explore and older dogs with limited mobility. My dog has vestibular issue, so I'm comfortable lifting pets to help them up and down stairs or getting into cars. I'm also comfortable giving oral medication, clipping/shaving nail, and shampooing.

“Jen house sat for a long weekend and she was great. I was nervous to leave our dog Barry but she came over for a meet and greet and he loved her immediately. She was very responsive and sent cute pics everyday. Barry seemed well cared for and Jen left our house in great shape. We will definitely call Jen again!”

“Great job by Yasmin. Cyrus the dog got to run in the yard and play tug, and Frank the cat was safely fed in the privacy of his bedroom. Well done and we appreciate Yasmin's pet care.”
