House Sitting in Acker

“We’re so grateful we found Kalea. She stayed in our home and took amazing care of our two Labs while we were away over the 4th of July. She stuck to their routine, which really helped keep them calm and happy, especially during a stressful time. It was obvious they got tons of love and attention while we were gone. We came home to two very content pups! We’ll definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend!”

“Mallory did a great job. Everyone seemed to be in great shape when we got home. The house was in order. No pictures were sent. However, we were on a ship and had little or no internet service. So, we had no complaints. Would hire her again.”

About: I’ve enjoyed taking care of pets and house sitting since 1998. I’ve had multiple pets at one time including cats, dogs, fish, and guinea pigs. I work remotely, with flexible hours. My down time activities include reading, which makes keeping an eye on furry family members easy and fun. I enjoy getting fresh air and walking which most dogs usually enjoy as well. I can work from most anywhere, so there’s no problem fitting right in to your pets familiar environment. I do need a desk to work from and somewhere to sleep if overnight care is requested.

“We truly could not ask for a better sitter. She cares for our dogs as if they were her own babies, and that kind of love and attention is priceless. We always come home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a home that is just as clean and tidy as we left it. One of our favorite things is how many updates and photos she sends while we’re away—it brings us so much peace of mind (and joy!) to see how loved and comfortable our dogs are. She is kind, respectful, reliable, and goes above and beyond every single time. We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!”

“Amelie truly came in clutch when another dog sitter canceled 5 days before my trip. I couldn't have asked for a better person! She was amazing with my HUGE grumpy older dog and my HYPER younger 2 year old...and did I mention they are Rotties?!! She was amazing from start to finish. This is truly the first time I came home from a trip and the dogs seemed well loved and taken care of, no anxiety from them at all. Thanks, Amelie! Rover friends, look no further and book her now...just not when I need her ; )”

About: I am a full time nurse who has found a love for animals as I’ve grown. I have two cats who are my babies. As someone who travels a lot I understand the need to have your pets cared for when you are away! I want to be that help to someone! I currently work full time Monday to Friday 8-4 but am flexible. I am available every week night and most weekends! I can make myself available to care for your pet! I am able to safely provide pet care services as I have experience with my own two cats and a family with plenty of dogs!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. I have always had a love for dogs. I currently have two dogs and they’re both rescues. It makes my heart happy to have rescued both of them. I treat all dogs as though they are my own and I want the best for all of them. I am now retired and available during the day on weekdays to walk your dog and play with them. I’m available all day on weekends and holidays, depending on my schedule. I’m able to pet-sit in the client’s home. If you’d prefer I watch your pet at my house, I would have to first introduce them to my two dogs to see if they’re compatible.

About: I've taken care of young and old dogs. I've watched family pets for years and have spent a lot of care on specialized research around animals to ensure I give them the best care I can. I love to play with them, never get bored of watching them and ass I started I pay a lot of attention to detail. I can pick up on all those little details in dogs that many sitters will miss. You could not leave your dog with a safer host. I have a very flexible and open schedule right now. I am willing to work whenever and can plan around caring for your pet. It will be my number one priority. I have an apartment that is free of pets right now so I have the space give your pet some extra room without disruption while they stay with me

“I couldn’t recommend Victoria enough! My dog loves her and loves spending time with her. She sends plenty of photos and updates during our time away from our dog and is super sweet to him!!”

About: I've taken care of pets and animals since I was 10. I've had experience with birds, fish, turtles and tortoises, dogs, cats, geckos, small rodents(guinea pigs, bunnies, mice, rats, ferrets, etc.) I have no issues with needing to give the animal medicine or extra care in any way. I'll be able to visit in the mornings, afternoon, and night Wednesday-Saturday. I can stop by anytime 4a-midnight. I can drop in 1-5 times a day. I have no issues with crating or using a muzzel when needed. I love being around animals and enjoy spending time with them. I can't take them on walks but I can play with them in a yard or house.

About: I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own and aim to provide a stress-free, loving experience for both pets and their owners. I'm currently working full time but have the availability to check in on your pet(s) in the morning and then in the evening when I get off work. I do not work weekends so I can even spend a little longer with your pets doing whatever needs to be done. I have nothing but respect for your home and your pets, therefore your pets will be taken care of and your home will be as you left it.

“Emina and Jackson were amazing! They sent me so many pictures throughout my trip. My dogs take a little while to warm up to people and they were very patient and came to meet them before so the dogs could get to know them. I will definitely use them again in the future!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have had experience owning other pets such as geckos, cats, and snakes. I’ve been a pet sitter for a little over two years. My true passion for pet sitting comes from my desire to be accompanied by them, dogs specifically. I work with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Dogs of all backgrounds tend to gravitate towards me and I have never had any negative interactions. While studying for my undergrad, I was actually in charge of all the live animal specimens present on the University grounds. Feeding, exercise, and handling/care were done daily, which can explain my comfortability and familiarity with pet care. I currently am home as I finish my masters degree online so my daily schedule is fairly free. I workout and do part-time contract work when I am not doing schoolwork. I’m extremely flexible and will be willing to meet your needs as best as possible. Simply put, I treat the pets like they are my own. I ensure they are met with sufficient attention, exercise, nutrition, and safety while under my supervision. Minimizing stress is my biggest concern (my dog has separation anxiety so I know how it can be). I’ve found it helpful in the past to use my own dog as a bridge between myself and the client’s pet, as his presence tends to build confidence and reassurance.

About: I’ve had considerable experience with cats and dogs — over 50 years of being around them — and I now share my home with three cats. I’m now starting to offer pet care as a way to earn money, and I’ll come to your place for drop-in visits, overnight stays, and house sitting. I’m also open to caring for other pets. I’m a calm, patient person, and animals really respond to that energy. When I arrive, I make enough noise so pets aren’t startled, then I spend a minute talking with them and reading how they’re feeling before feeding, litter breaks, potty breaks, or play — whatever they need at that moment. I’m comfortable giving shy pets the time they need to warm up. I don’t have much experience with special needs care, but I’m happy to handle meds or anxiety with a steady, reassuring approach. If a dog barks, I’ll soothe them with a calm voice; if they pull on the leash, I’ll pause until they settle; if a pet’s shy, I’ll let them come to me. My schedule is flexible and I can work around your dates, including weekends and holidays. People often tell me they appreciate my calm, thoughtful approach — it helps my pets feel safe and at ease. I’d love to meet your cat or dog! IMPORTANT- I am flexible. 😊 I will do my best to accommodate reasonable requests. We will discuss details when I come to meet your pet(s). My schedule is flexible since I’m retired. I can work around your schedule, or adjust my own to fit what your pet needs. I do have a couple evening meetings each month, and I’m busy on Sunday mornings.

About: I am great with all different kinds of dogs or cats! I am also good with medication if needed for the animals. I am also very attentive to animals. I currently do not have a job so I will have a lot of free time for your animals needs! I Usally am a little busy between 12-2 but if needed can push my other stuff back! I am great with dog walking and love taking long walks with animals or just playing with them outside or giving them attention inside also.

“Amanda was great! Highly recommend and will certainly rebook with her again.”

“Barbara took care of my senior dog while I camped overnight. My pup gets a little stressed when I’m away. I can tell that Barbara took great care of her because she wasn’t anxious when I got home, just happy! She was very friendly and you can tell she really cares for animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: Ever since I was a very little girl, animals have been the object of my attention. My parents still love to tell stories about how as soon as I could walk, as little as 2, I would walk into pet shops and ask to hold snakes and other “scary” animals. I love them all and have had the luxury of either owning or taking care of every kind of pet. I truly mean every— dogs, cats, fish, turtles, lizards, birds (ducks, rescues, etc), tarantulas, frogs, newts, axolotls, rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, moles, rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, and I’m sure I’m missing some. I’ve also taken care of an extensive array of bugs. Just ask! While I mainly and primarily care for furry friends— I have lots of experience with other pets. :^) I’m currently only working with Rover and with Wag Caregiver, so I am always at home! I spend all of my time at home with other’s people pets. I am almost exclusively at home. I leave to go to the store and run errands, but otherwise, I’m a complete home body. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I have a very safe and pet friendly neighborhood to walk your dogs. I do plan to move into my first home within the next 6 months, and will have a fenced in yard then. Aside from that, my home is perfectly equipped for your furry (or maybe not so furry!) companions. They are allowed on almost any and all surfaces. Beds, couches, floors, all.

About: Please know that my prices are what they are because rover has a service fee!!! I have taken care of other peoples dog since I was 16. I dog sit, I help walk, I have even gone to peoples house just to give their dog attention while the owners were at work. I work full time as a dog trainer so I do have that experience. I have also dog sat dogs that needed to be on medication and had to have a specific times. I have taken care of multiple senior dogs as well as puppies! I have flexible during the day and at night, I can easily walk, feed, give meds, or even give lots of attention! I will make sure I do what ever you need me to do to make your dogs feels loved and taken care of I will do whatever is I am instructed to do and i will always make sure your fur baby feels safe! Since I work with dogs everyday I do know all the signs of stress! I do have a big fenced in yard, I mainly will be doing at clients homes.

“Liz was great with my two pups! She spent the night while I was out of town, and I felt completely comfortable the whole time. Lots of pupdates! Would highly recommend.”
