House Sitting Alexauken

“I’m so grateful to have found Emma! I came to Rover with an unusual request: someone to stay at my home and care for my two baby goats… Emma not only accepted my unusual request, but she followed all their care instructions and went above and beyond to give them special attention and activity. It’s clear she’s a natural with animals and truly cared about my boys! She sent picture and video updates, which gave me such peace of mind for my first weekend away from them. She kept things neat and tidy and was simply the best! Thank you so much, Emma!”

“Katie was an excellent dog sitter for our dog. She made contact with us every day to let us know how he was doing. She also sent several pictures of him throughout her stay. She always asked questions for anything that she was not sure of. We would definitely recommend her and use her in the future.”

“Rachel is lovely as a person, warm, and wonderful with pets - our daughter's dog and our cat. She sent a video showing her and the dog having so much fun! And Rachel is an excellent communicator which is so reassuring.”

About: Hi! I’m a 22 year old recent college grad looking to walk dogs while I wait to start my full-time job in Mexico this winter. I’ve been on Rover for about 3 years where I’ve made great connections with clients and their pets. Feel free to reach out to ask about my availability! I can currently accept weekly bookings! Most of my mornings/afternoons are free for the time being so feel free to reach out and ask about a date/time. I have 2 cats of my own and live with 4 dogs at home. I also have 8 reptiles including 5 snakes and 3 geckos.

“We booked Wendy to stay in our home at nights and walk our dog while we were away. She bonded immediately with our german shepherd. It was great to see daily photos and messages of updates to help us rest assured that everything was good back home. She even inspired us with new ways to play with our dog once we returned. So helpful. And the cherry on top was our home was spotless when we got back. Such a huge sigh of relief, and our dog girl was happy, well groomed, and wagging her tail the entire time! Will book again in a heartbeat on our next get away! 10/10”

“Ashley took excellent care of my greyhound and cat! My dog is older and has some special care requirements (supplements, diapers, anxiety) and Ashley had no issues managing it.”

About: I’ve babysat dogs since I was 15, including my own dog, neighbors dogs, friends dogs and dogs through Facebook. I also volunteered at my local SPCA all throughout high school and watched amazing pets find their forever home. I’m currently working part-time, which leaves me with ample free time during the week. I would love the opportunity to care for your beloved pets during this time. Whether it’s taking them for a walk, feeding them, or simply spending time with them and providing lots of affection, I’m here to ensure they feel happy, safe, and loved in your absence. I have a fully fenced yard and always accompany my family dog outside to ensure she stays safe and doesn’t get into anything she shouldn’t. I also enjoy taking her on longer walks from time to time, so she can explore new sights and smells.

“Natalie took such great care of my dog, Panda! She was reliable, gentle, and made sure Panda got plenty of attention and love.”

About: I have raised rescue dogs since I was 10 (1 German shepherd, 2 cattle dogs). Before that I took care of a bunny and cats, among other animals. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies. Also have bird experience. Love being out in nature. When the neighbors’ dogs have ran away multiple times, I have rescued them and brought them home. I have experience with all kinds of animals, but especially with dogs and cats. I’m self-employed and work part-time but I have flexible availability! My PT job is 15 minutes away and for my self-employment, I work from home. I do house pet-sitting, walks, day visits, etc. I’m available weekends and weekdays, ideally in the afternoons, but I can make mornings work. Just chat with me to coordinate! I can feed your pups/kitty, play fetch/frisbee with them outside, play inside, take them out, give them treats + fresh water, work on training with puppies/kittens, cuddle, take them on walks/hikes (even for harness-trained cats!), take them on day adventures, and brush/groom them. I listen to clients carefully, and make sure the dogs/cats specialty needs are of utmost importance too.

“Gianna is wonderful! She took great care of our boys. Easy to communicate with, and we will definitely have her back.”

“Maura was great. She was a natural fit for our dogs and a total animal person! We hope she will sit for our pets in the future.”

About: Growing up in a big dog- and cat-loving home, my affinity for animals was realized at an early age. I’ve been the go-to person amongst family and friends for pet care since I was a kid. I’ve dabbled in this passion on the side my whole life, but am now pursuing it full tilt and hope to build a career in conservational zoology. In 2020, pet care grew outside of my inner circle of friends and family, and I gained clientele I still work for to this day. While in Hawaii from August 2024 to February 2026, I dog-sat for five families on top of my day job, regularly tending to their pets every week (and some every day). This included walks and meals, house calls, trips to the beach, hikes, daily visits to the local dog parks, bathing and brushing, extended stays at my home while owners traveled, and coordinating play dates with other pet-sitters. I’ve handled animals of all sizes and temperaments, administered medication, and adhered to the specific needs of the families in my care. My focus is on the comfort, stimulation, and enrichment of your pet! I am reliable and flexible, and find genuine joy in this line of work. This is how I would prefer to spend my time! My Pets: My 120lb Saint Bernard/Bernese, Hobie, was my dutiful companion in pet care, living up to his “nanny dog” personality. In July 2025, he sadly passed at the young age of 2 due to congenital kidney failure, but his short life was full to the brim of adventures with furry friends! He was equally as loving as he was loved. My world completely revolved around him while I had him. Thistle and Pants are my two cats. Thistle is a 7 year old domestic long hair, and I’ve had her since she was 6 months old. She has very much been a partner in my pet care as well, having grown up with big dogs and preferring their company over other cats. She gives off that annoyed older sister vibe, but always wants to be near the other animals and people. Pants is a 5 month old Maine Coon kitten, and he makes himself right at home in any space he occupies. He’s adventurous and outspoken, and keeps Thistle moving (and slightly irritated) throughout the day. He’s proving to be too clever for his own good! I will be adding a new dog to the family in several months, and will undergo training with a focus on companionship and socialization. I can’t wait to have another partner in pet care! Letters of Recommendation are available upon request. Thank you so much for reading, I hope to work with you soon! Rachel I’m currently available all day Tuesday through Saturday! I’m an early riser, accustomed to starting my days around 5am. I’m quick to respond and very flexible. I will adhere to YOUR preferred form of care. I love going on drives, walks, and hikes and have a roomy CR-V perfect for transporting furry friends! I like arranging play dates with social pets, or spending one-on-one time for those that prefer to be solo. My apartment in Dublin has a spacious yard with a tall fence and tree shade, and I’m happy to take your pet to their known stomping grounds or on new adventures. I live about ten minutes away from Peace Valley Park, and twenty minutes from Nockamixon State Park. I will tend to a routine that is best for your pet, whether it involve a lot of free roaming and outdoor time, or adhering to crate-training preferences. I’m an advocate for leisurely “sniff walks”, and will ensure your pet gets the stimulation they need. This isn’t a turn-and-burn rush job for me, I’m here to provide what is most enriching for your pet.

About: When I’m not at work, I spend most of my time with our 9 year old rescue dog Cooper, or spending time going on walks as a family. In my spare time, I’ve had the pleasure of fostering 7 rescue dogs in our home until they all were matched with a loving family and their forever homes❤️. Lover of all animals (cats included, although I cannot pet them due to allergies🤧). I enjoy getting to meet and take care of all sorts of pets on Rover. I’ve even had the chance to feed a families horses while they were away on vacation. If your fuzzy family member needs a babysitter, a nice walk, or anything in between then feel free to send me a message! Currently open 7 days a week for availability. Feel free to reach out regarding availability or with any questions, and I’m also happy to do a meet and greet if preferred. For high energy dogs I have taken them on neighborhood walks, hikes, or played toys with them. I always let the pet parent guide me on what their dog is up for. We have a senior dog gentleman of our own, so for dogs with a milder temperament I am happy to take them on short walks or can hang inside with them if that’s more their speed.

About: I’ve taken care of a wide variety of pets. From small to medium to large dogs and cats to rats, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs to non-venomous snakes and lizards, I’ve been able to take parts in a number of fluff balls and scaly critters lives. I have experience in training young pups, litter training small mammals, and habituating reptiles. I like to be active, giving your pet all the attention they need. I do work a full time job that takes me away from the house from 7-3:30. I fit in a breakfast and a walk before leaving in the morning. From June 22-August 17, I work mon-thurs. the rest of the year is mon-fri I will walk your dog a minimum of 2 times a day, as well as play with them (provided there is a yard/space). I can continue training routines and generally spend much of my day giving attention to your pet. Additionally, if you maintain a garden or have potted plants, I will keep them happy and healthy as well

About: I have 3 older extra large dogs, 1 young medium dog, and 1 senior small dog. I’ve also had cats in my family. I’m used to caring for different sizes, ages, and energy levels, from slow walks with seniors to keeping up with younger, more active dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, and just making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I work part time from 12–3 on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, but my schedule is flexible and can change. Outside of those hours, I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, which gives me plenty of time to give pets consistent care, walks, feeding, and attention. I’m able to adjust my availability when needed. At my home, I have a large fenced yard where my dogs can safely play and spend time outside. I walk, feed, and play with them daily, and make sure they stay on a consistent routine. I’m very attentive to their needs and always make time for exercise, enrichment, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get walks and playtime if needed, and feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I’m patient, reliable, and always treat every pet like my own.

“The best dog sitter that I have had. She took care of my big dog for a full 7 days and was amazing. If you are thinking of booking, my advice is yes!”

“Brian is an exceptional human being with tremendous integrity. We went away for two weeks and left him in charge of our home, our acreage, and our lively young cat. He was simply amazing in every way you wish a house sitter or a pet sitter could be. The phrase “above and beyond” came to our minds over and over while we were on our vacation. Our cat bonded with him deeply. In fact, she walked around the house crying for him in the evenings when we first returned home. She couldn’t figure out where her play buddy went. Brian was a fantastic communicator – – sharing all the ordinary goings-on‘s with the house and our cat, including cute photos and video clips. But he also really stepped up when a harder moment came. A powerful wind storm came through the area while we were away, and Brian did an outstanding job of prepping for a possible power outage— which did not end up happening. He also did a great job of communicating with us about any possible house or tree damage— which luckily also did not happen. What we appreciated most about Brian was his calm, warm, caring, and very-capable demeanor. We feel very blessed to have gotten to know him, and we plan to have him watch over our home and pets for years to come.”

“Jake was fantastic! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and kept our little girl very happy. I couldn’t ask for more. 10/10 will absolutely use him again and again.”
