House Sitting in Yost

“I highly recommend Mars! She deserves a five-star evaluation! Mars is a very kind, friendly and sincere person! My puppy doesn't even want to go home after being taken care of by her for two days 😃 I'm very grateful to her for helping me take care of the Zaizai and taking cute photos!”

“Katy was amazing and we will absolutely book her again! Our animals were well taken care of and the house was just as we left it when we came home.”

“Taylor was good! Our boys seemed happy and well cared for. I had booked a house sitting but she was not able to be there overnight for more than 1 of the 3 nights. I wish this had been communicated a little better. She did stay for more time during the day, but I was looking for the overnight time period.”

“Lindsey was so great with my dog! He can be a grumpy old man, but he loved her off the bat and was clearly well cared for. I'll absolutely book her again!”

Katelyn M.

“Very responsive and great with my dogs. Both of my girls are very skittish and she won them over quick! She kept my home neat, made sure the girls were taken care of, and sent me amazing photos🫶🏽10/10”

“Vanessa does amazing with my high energy, anxious husky! He’s a lot to handle but she makes it look easy. She house sat for a week and when I came home he was the least anxious I’ve ever seen. Vanessa is dependable, kind and a hard worker. Highly recommend!”

“Linda took care of our dog, Wally, over a long weekend at our home. She was very attentive and made sure he was well cared for. She also left our home in great shape!”

“Rachel is the sweetest girl and was so comforting to all my concerns i had leaving my puppy for the first time. i was worried for no reason because our girl absolutely loved her!! Rachel even brought her new toys when she was getting bored! She really listens to detail of how you want things done and ahe sends updates pics and videos so it feels like they are almost there with you. She even cleaned before we got back! I could not recommend her enough we will be using her anytime we have to leave again in the future!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life !! I currently have two dogs of my own as well. I do some dog training. Sit, stay, lay, shake, crate training, and potty training. I work full time however I get two breaks and only work Monday-Thursday. I work from 8-5 and take a break at 1130 and 2:30. I live in a house and have a closed in fence. I take my dogs for a walk or run every day and will play fetch or tug of war with them in the yard. The dogs get lots of outside time and my girls love having new friends to play with! A kennel is not required but I do ask if you have one to bring it. Since we have our own dogs and also board more than one dog we put them up in the kennel when going to sleep at night.

“Sierra was amazing while watching Okie! She responded promptly, carefully followed Okie’s transition to adult food while keeping an eye on her symptoms, and took her on plenty of walks. She was very respectful of our home and communicated multiple times a day, sending lots of photos, which we really appreciated. She even offered to take Okie to her grooming appointment when it got rescheduled while we were away, which meant so much to us. It truly felt like she cared for Okie as if she were her own. She saved us from having to fly with our 10-month-old puppy, we couldn’t be more grateful!”

About: I have been pet and house sitting for friends and family since I was 16 years old. I love animals (sometimes more than people). I can take care of all different types of needs that your beloved pet might have. Long walks, baths, morning and night time routines, special diets, etc. I have even taken care of a dog with diabetes before. I do not have much experience with other animals but I am a quick learner. I would love to take care of any pet you may have. I am a full time student at Oklahoma State University and I have a part time job that I work as well. I wouldn’t be gone from my house or yours any longer than the hours that would consist in a normal work or school day. I’m not normally gone that long but that is the longest I would be gone in a day. I have a pretty open schedule for the most part because a few of my classes are online. I don’t have any pets at home anymore. Sadly my childhood dogs passed away this summer and while I am not ready to get my own dog yet I still love taking care of animals! I kept a lot of their old things so I have plenty of toys, dog beds, and blankets that your animal would be welcome to use. I also have a dog door and fenced backyard that is available for use as well. The dog door can be shut or left open depending on what works best for your animal.

About: From fur to feathers to scales, I have years of hands on animal care experience through personal pet care and professional wildlife hospital and zoo work. I’m currently a wildlife biology graduate student at OSU, and my background has made me very comfortable observing animal behavior, following detailed care routines, and noticing small changes in an animal’s comfort or health. What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable caring for active dogs, shy pets, and animals that need a calm, consistent routine. I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or enrichment instructions and will always keep owners updated while they’re away. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because my schedule as a graduate student is flexible and varies by day. I’m often able to offer morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on my class, lab, and fieldwork schedule. I’m happy to coordinate with owners ahead of time to make sure their pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I’m especially available for drop in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, and I’m comfortable building pet care around feeding schedules, medication times, walks, playtime, and regular check ins. Safety and trust are very important to me, and I always want pets and owners to feel comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medication, walking preferences, crate use, litter box care, and any house rules. I make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure, and I always double check that pets are safe before I leave. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, especially with shy, nervous, or high energy animals. I’m patient and will never force interaction if a pet needs space. I’m also happy to send regular updates, photos, and notes so owners know how their pet is doing while they’re away. For walks and drop ins, I prioritize safe handling, secure leashing, and following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible.

“SJ did a great job of keeping me updated about my babies. I got lots of pictures and she let me know if the babies ate or not. I will book her again without hesitation. My husband and I have put off vacations because of our dogs and their quirky dispositions but SJ was wonderful!”

About: Taking care of pets is my top priority! When those who trust me let me take care of their pets, I make sure every need is met! Any play time needed, any cuddles to be shared, any messes to clean up, and anything in between! I have taken care of Senior dogs, puppies, bunnies, lizards, and I have helped with caring for cats! I am always willing to learn how to take care of more! Pet care is my ultimate responsibility, so I fit my schedule around the needs of the pet/caretaker. I am happy to wake up early in the morning, play all day, and konk out whenever! I am also happy to have lazy days and anything in between! I mainly work in the clients home (if need be), and will try to mimic the daily routine the caretaker had with their pet(s). There might be a learning curve, but I try to see what the pet is comfortable with and go from there!

“Sarah was great! She stayed at our house with our gang and took wonderful care of them as well as the house. We will book with her again!”

About: I’ve cared for animals most of my life, including my own dogs, bunny, and fish, as well as others’ cats and dogs. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable supporting pets of all ages, from playful puppies to more sensitive seniors. I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. As a full-time school psychology graduate student at OSU, I intentionally and consistently incorporate pet care into my weekly routine. My class and assistantship schedule gives me predictable blocks of time throughout the day, which allows me to provide regular check‑ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I balance my academic work with pet care by planning, maintaining a structured routine, and ensuring every pet receives focused attention and a calm, reliable presence. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their space clean, and make sure they always have fresh water, a tidy litter box, and a comfortable place to relax. I pay attention to body language, comfort levels, and any changes in behavior so pets feel understood and secure. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I create a peaceful, predictable environment where pets can feel safe, cared for, and genuinely at ease.

About: I come from a big family who loves pets! Have plenty of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, and livestock since I was a little kid! I’m currently a full-time student at osu. My dog gets a walk before and after class and I spend a lot of time training him/getting his energy out in the afternoons. I shape my schedule to make sure pets are always well cared for. With my current apartment complex i unfortunately cannot board other dogs in my home. But I have transportation and would be more than happy to check in on yours as many times a day as needed!

“Emily is the best!!! Highly recommend if you need someone to watch your fur babies!!!”

“Jessica is amaaaaazing! Took care of my sweet pup, and made me feel like she was so loved. Took her on walks and everything, was very responsive and you should book here ASAP!”

About: I bring a calm, reliable, and responsible approach to pet care. I focus on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m consistent with routines like feeding, walks, and check-ins, and I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m also attentive and patient with senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra care, or more frequent check-ins. What sets me apart is my reliability and attention to detail, I treat every pet like they’re part of a routine, not a task. Owners can expect clear communication, dependability, and a respectful approach to both their home and their pet’s well-being. I work a full-time job from 8–5, but I’m available for pet care outside of those hours. I can do early morning visits, evening care, and overnight stays depending on the pet’s needs and schedule. I also have full availability on weekends. I’m organized with my time and make sure pet care visits are consistent, unhurried, and reliable. When I commit to a booking, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure each pet gets proper attention and care. I provide pet care in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box or yard clean-up, medication (if needed), and any specific care preferences. I focus on creating a calm, reliable, and attentive visit each time, making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I adjust my approach based on each pet’s personality, whether they are energetic, shy, social, or more independent. I also prioritize clear communication and provide updates so owners feel confident and informed. I make sure the home is secure after each visit and treat each client’s space with respect.
