About: I have been the family/neighborhood cat and dog-sitter for years. From small little puppies and cats to Bernese Mountain dogs even larger than me! I am currently working part-time as a teacher so there is flexibility in my schedule to make time for pet visits, walks, or even overnight stays. I take long walks almost daily so having a furry companion with me would make them that much better. I always make sure any doors that need to remain shut are kept closed so no pets make their way into something they shouldn’t. Allergies are always noted in my phone, along with closest animal hospital just in case.

“Alice is a wonderful puppy sitter and took great care of our golden puppy. There was exceptional communication throughout the entire process, she was very kind and accommodating, and we knew our pup was in good hands with her. We would love to work with her again in future and would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

Abigail D.

“She was very kind and caring with my two older boys, Desmond, the cat, and Melvin, the dog. Both Mel and Des warmed up to her very quickly. I received regular updates and couldn’t ask for a better petsitter.”

Benjamin P.

“Yeji was super responsive with us and very kind to our beagle - playing fetch, following her feeding schedule, and being attentive to her. Our doggo can be anxious but was in good hands with Yeji!”

Rachel B.

“We were so reassured having Emily stay in our house with Lola while we were away overnight. She took great care of Lola and we won’t hesitate to call on her again in the future!”

Toni L.

“Marcus was wonderful with my GSD Izzy! She took to him immediately and he showered her with attention to her unabashed delight. He was prompt, reliable and responsive.”

Samata S.

“Nicole was a lifesaver, our doggy developed some stomach issues right before my planned trip and Nicole was able to take care of her and even help me get her to her vet and start a care plan while I was away. Safe to say that she has my complete trust with my dog and there’s no one I would recommend more!”

Manuel G.

“Alex provided the absolute best care for our dog Lady over 3 nights at our house. She left our house looking spotless and Lady was taken care of incredibly well. She was an excellent communicator and provided regular updates throughout the stay. We will 100% be using her again and are at ease having found someone we can completely trust with our home and dog. We couldn’t recommend her enough!”

Drew H.

“Nathan was a stellar home / dog sitter while we were away for a week. He kept good care of our dog and home, providing helpful updates and showing our dog a great time.”

About: Certified in Pet CPR & First Aid 🐾 Thanks for clicking on my profile! I believe house-sitting is fundamentally an act of stewardship. My goal is simple: when you walk back through your front door, everything feels exactly as it should. Your home is peaceful, your pets are happy, and you can tell they have been genuinely cared for. 🐾 Every animal has its own personality, and earning their trust is one of my favorite parts of this work. 🐾 As a home-owner myself, I understand how to manage properties, schedules and routines and how to create a warm, safe environment for your pets. 🐾 Because I work remotely as an author and book editor, I’m able to provide a steady, reassuring presence throughout the day rather than simply stopping in for visits. Whether I’m editing a manuscript from your dining table or writing with a cat asleep beside me, your pets will enjoy quiet companionship and consistent routines. 🐾 I’m new to Rover, but I have more than twenty verified five-star pet-sitting reviews on Trusted Housesitters. Many of my previous Trusted Housesitters clients have been gracious enough to upload their testimonials to Rover. 🐾 Most of my clients are academics, researchers, physicians, writers, and other professionals who travel for conferences, sabbaticals, research, or extended holidays. They aren’t simply looking for someone to feed the pets—they’re looking for complete peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾 Over the past several years I’ve cared for homes and animals in more than ten countries. My experience ranges from city apartments in Boston, Amsterdam, and Paris to historic homes, farms, country cottages, and rural retreats worldwide. 🐾 I’ve cared for rescue animals, blind cats, elderly dogs, anxious pets during thunderstorms and fireworks, post-surgical kittens, and animals requiring medication. I’ve even helped a mother cat give birth. 🐾 Long-term house sitting often involves much more than pet care, and I’m comfortable handling the unexpected with calm professionalism. I’ve managed realtor showings while homeowners were abroad, coordinated with utility workers and neighbors, helped oversee an Airbnb during a plumbing emergency, cared for animals while owners exhibited artwork at an international art fair, and managed the daily operations of farms and historic homes. I enjoy solving problems quietly before they become worries for the people who have entrusted me with their homes. 🐾 Before becoming an editor, I spent twenty years as the spouse of a U.S. Air Force servicemember, an experience that instilled habits of reliability, discretion, punctuality, cleanliness, and adaptability. Living internationally also taught me how to stay calm in unfamiliar situations and make thoughtful decisions when circumstances change unexpectedly. As a freelance book editor and writer, I work remotely and set my own schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. Whether I’m writing from the couch with a cat curled beside me or taking regular breaks for walks, playtime, and companionship, your pets will rarely be left alone for long. Caring for someone’s pet also means caring for their home. After more than twenty successful house sits and dozens of five-star reviews, I’ve developed a reputation for being calm, dependable, tidy, and attentive. I follow routines carefully, communicate promptly, and treat every home with the same respect and care I would hope someone would show mine. My goal is always for owners to return to a happy pet and a home that feels exactly as they left it.

“Cynthia did a great job taking care of my elderly cat Simon while I was away. He has some specific diet and medication things, and she made sure he was well taken care of. She communicated every day and I knew he was in good hands!”

Meghan H.

“We highly recommend Rosie for sitting and walking. She was very patient, understanding, loving, and most importantly adaptable to the care our dog needs. I have to admit that our pup isn't the most trusting or friendly at first. With tenderness, care, and a lot of treats she quickly built a bond with our dog and allowed us to rest our minds whenever we left our pooch with her. She was also very flexible with our requests, as long as we provided her with a 24-hour notice. We can't thank her enough for allowing us the peace of mind while we were away. THANK YOU!”

Sergio A.

“Sean was great! He was responsive, respectful of our home and space, and great with our dog, Sebago. He was a good communicator while we were away, sending plenty of pictures and updates. Would book Sean again!”

Liz M.

“Anna was excellent with our two very different dogs. She was able to comfort our more anxious dog and get him to eat, and she was able to calm our more energetic dog! Would definitely recommend and will rebook”

Michelle S.

“Victoria stayed at my house for 5 days and cared for my elderly cat, who needs daily medication. She sent frequent updates and photos and took great care of my dear Nanette. She left the house clean and neat. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and recommend her highly.”
