House Sitting in Xenia

“Liesa did a great job. She followed instructions and stayed a little after due to our concert going late. It was a long day and we had to leave Lily alone a couple of times already, so her willingness to stay after was a big help. We received pictures of our little girl and she was easy to communicate with.”

“Elizabeth was such a great joy to have with my four legged kids today. We have had a very rough time recently with my mother having issues who was our main sitter and our one dog dying. Thus, I am in need of day sitters last minute for awhile until we can get a routine down. I want to thank her so much for all the texts and pictures with updates. It has been a very anxious time for us, and she was such a wonderful savior. It was so nice to know someone was with the dogs during the storms. She was so polite last minute when I had to find help and came out to meet dogs to learn routine. We for sure will have her again, and it might even be this weekend or this week if she is available to day sit at our house.”

“Hailee coordinated very well with us and pivoted as our plans changed. She sent pics as she visited and shared any concerns that came up. We look forward to trying her and Manny again!”

“Danni has regularly taken care of my 7 lbs. cat and 80 lbs. German Shepherd. She's welcomed by both of my pets, and they love seeing her. Danni takes great care of them and takes her time to play with them so they aren't lonely. Very prompt, conscientious, and loving would be the top three traits I would say describes Danni's care for my pets. Highly recommended.”

“I have seen Rebecca around her own and around other dogs and various animals at some point in a lengthy friendship. She is remarkably quiet, soothing, self-assured around animals and I would trust her with my own dog and anyone else's! She is also multi-talented, so if you had some other request to help with your pet, (taking to groomer, etc) I would ask. Patti Carnahan”

They can hang out with me in the house, on my sofa, or even in my bed! I will involve them in my daily activities and provide plenty of attention and reassurance.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child, and have had my own pets my entire adulthood. I’ve been a dog and cat owner for 20 years and have experience with all ages. I own reptiles, and am able to provide in-home care for them. I also have experience with boarding guinea pigs. We have two adults who are home full time, so pets are rarely left alone. The only time that nobody would be home was if we had a family outing. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly small dogs to keep your pet company. When caring for a dog in your home, I will treat your home with care and respect.

“Dove was great with our cat Petey. She gave updates and pictures while she house and cat sat for us. Very kind person. Will definitely be asking for her to cat sit for us again.”
