House Sitting in Applegate

“Ben took great care of our senior doggies! We were able to go on our vacation with peace of mind that he was giving them love and attention while we were away. Will absolutely work with him again!”

“Great job! Nancy came out to the house twice to meet with us and get to know Meija better before our trip. Nancy did a great job communicating with us during a week long house sitting job. She sent us several pictures including play time and walks. The house was clean and tidy upon our return. Meija was in good spirits. We have already booked Nancy for another house sitting job. We highly recommend her.”

“Shayna stayed at our home for 5 days while we were gone on vacation. We’ve been nervous to leave our two herding breed dogs with a pet sitter as they don’t warm up to strangers quickly. But this was not the case with Shayna. She was so calm and relaxed meeting them that they quickly relaxed with her. Shayna is very professional and conscientious and she was great about communicating on medications for our dog with Addison’s. This made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our trip! The house was clean and well cared for and we are so happy to have found a pet sitter that our dogs like and trust. I highly recommend Shayna!”

“Stacie responded quickly whenever I checked in. Our dog seemed happy when we got back from our trip! She helped do a few extra things at our house too with our chickens. Everything at the house was fine when we got back.”

“Dayton is the dog sitter and person we have been hoping for and waiting for. She arrived right on time, and immediately connected with Tuli our German Shepherd. IYKYK how loud and scary a German Shepherd's bark can be when someone new arrives in her/our domain. Dayton was nonplussed, and Tuli felt totally comfortable with her instantaneously. Additionally, Dayton is a very kind, caring person and someone we will from now on ask to care for Tuli.”

“Emma was great! Responsive, responsible, and great with my pup! I'm a sitter myself on Rover, so my bar is pretty high and I'm quite picky with who I let into my hope and who I ask to watch my dog. Emma was all green flags right away. She made it easy to set up a meet-and-greet. Came over and let me take the time to go over all the particulaties of the space (there were many) -- I've recently moved into my Grandma's home, as she died a few months back. Her keepsakes and belongings are still everywhere in the space, And I thought it would be nerve-wracking to let someone into that space with so many priceless (to me) items were still all over the place. Emma heard me out and made me feel confident that she understood where I was coming from and how special the space was to me. After an hour with Emma, I was totally at ease. My dog took to her right away, and I'm sure yours will too! Book Emma while you still can! As a sitter myself, I finally have another person to refer my clients to when I'm not available (it took years to find someone I'd trust with my clients). Emma will be my go-to when I'm out of town, and she should be yours too.”

About: My professional house and pet sitting journey began in 2021. However, my connection with animals started much earlier, with many beloved pets throughout my childhood. This lifelong experience has given me the skills to provide comprehensive care, including administering medicine to older animals with specific needs. Im currently taking a gap year so that allows me to dedicate specific attention to your pets' needs, providing plenty of playtime, loving care, and ensuring their complete comfort and happiness. My focus is providing in-home pet sitting services. I come to you, allowing your pets to stay happy and relaxed in their own environment and surroundings.

About: Hello, pet owners! I have honed my skills in administering medication and providing medical support to pets with specific health conditions. I am adept at handling medical situations, ensuring the well being and safety of your pets while maintaining open communication with you and any necessary veterinary professionals. I am a full time pre-PA student and medical assistant/phlebotomist. Because of this, I do a lot of my exercise in the evenings after school or work. I would love a doggy companion to take on trails around town! As an animal lover and pet caregiver, I understand the importance of providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for your beloved companions. When it comes to dog walks, I view each outing as an opportunity for your fluffy friend to explore, exercise, and have a great time. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll in the neighborhood or an active adventure in a nearby, I tailor their walks to fit their individual needs, making sure they receive the exercise and mental stimulation they require.

“Alex is trustworthy, kind and thorough. She took excellent care of my two dogs, including my high maintenance 14 year old. I’m so happy I found her on Rover! Thank you Alex and thank you River.”

About: I grew up in a home full of 5+ dogs at a single time! I have 8 years of experience in both the child care and pet sitting fields so I am extremely patient. For years I have used Rover myself to receive pet care for my own dog, so I understand the trust you will be putting in me. I will treat your fur-baby as one of my own while you are gone! I’m currently home full-time with my 3 year old son and our 9 year old dog! I have experience distributing medication and will follow your instructions meticulously! We have a home with a backyard for the dogs to play in! Brutus has a lot of toys and actually enjoys sharing them! Potty breaks can be every 0-2 or 2-4 hours, depending on what your puppy needs. Brutus is extremely friendly with different types of dogs but I can also separate them if that is what you request! Since I have a three year old son, I do require meet and greets before I pet sit any new dogs! I also require the dog to be gentle and have no prior aggression towards children. I only watch one dog, or multiple dogs from one home, at a time. I believe that trusting someone to watch your fur babies while you’re gone can be tough so I want to ensure that they have my full attention, love, and care!

About: I started taking care of friends' and neighbors' dogs after retiring in 2024. My lifelong love for cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes is now my daily passion! As an active retiree, I don't have any pets currently, and the house is empty and waiting for my next furry friend! I've cared for everything from dachshunds to a Bernese Mountain Dog. I love cats, but I want to watch them in your home, not mine. Happy to house-sit, work overnight shifts, and care for senior dogs and puppies. Although I don't have a fenced yard, I do have miles of walking trails and parks in the community, as well as an electronic fence for any dogs that need unrestricted access to a yard. I am fully retired and spend my days caring for your pets. Rarely will your important pet be left alone, if at all. I used Rover with my senior dog, Tucker, for over 5 years and met some wonderful people. It was a relief to me when I traveled, knowing my best friend was also enjoying his time in a safe, loving home. Now I meet new animal friends every week, and it feeds my soul and theirs. Your fur baby will have a dedicated sleeping space, feeding space, and unlimited access to our yard, depending on your needs. Full access to the entire house. I encourage you to bring toys, pet beds, crates, and any other items that will make your cherished pet comfortable. We are comfortable giving medication to older dogs, working with young puppies, and customizing our days to fit your pet's regular routines (such as walks, feeding, medication, and brushing). We have access to a private dog park, but we only go there after discussing it with you in advance. Note: we have an unfenced yard but use sound/ vibration to alert your pup if s/he is trying to escape. No electricity involved, just moderate stimulation. Most dogs learn the boundaries very quickly and without any discomfort.

About: I’ve grown up primarily with large dogs, those dogs smaller alongside feline friends as cared for by my grandfather and I before his passing. Educating and reinforcing the significance of proper animal care in my calling to love on these furry friends with responsibility and compassion! I’m very flexible, just communicate your preferences and needs as I’ll happily make them happen in order to properly provide service to our furry friends! Providing service at the clients home looks like keeping up with a clean environment, annual check ups via phone with the owner while always remaining alert to the animal’s needs.

We have both owned pets most of our lives and will love and care for your fur babies while they're in our care. 🐾 🥰❤️ We are both semi-retired nurses, responsible to lovingly care and able to administer various necessary medications to your pet if needed. We also have experience with senior dog care, various breeds and sizes and have owned a few rescue dogs and cats as well. We prefer small and medium breed sizes, but will open our home to big guys depending on the timing and if other dogs are in our care. No aggreasive dogs allowed please. ☺️ When your dogs stay with us you can expect lots of LOVE and PLAYTIME. We have a giant yard and play area and a small stream that our dog loves to romp in and out of! We will take walks, water and potty breaks and supervised play time to keep your fur baby happy and pampered. Our yard is partially fenced but your pets will always be supervised and on leashes while outdoors unless you as owners give permission to take off leashes. We are located in a scenic neighborhood on a closed road, with access to walking trails/dog trails to keep your furbaby well occupied and happy!! ❤️🐶🐾🐶❤️ My husband and I are both semi retired. We will be able to love and care for your furbaby the majority of the time they are in our care and give potty breaks as needed. On Thursdays we care for our 3yr old grandson, so if we care for your pet they must be good with children. We have 5 acres of play space and a one friendly dog of our own to keep your pet happy and occupied. We also have pet beds, bowls, and toys available, or you may bring your own if your pet prefers. :)

“Nicole is a great pet sitter. She is very responsive and cares about my dog. She shared what my dog was up to, send photos and asked questions when clarification was needed. We will hire her again.”

“Aiden did a great job watching Lily and our house during a 4 day trip. We felt comfortable during our trip away knowing both were in good hands.”

Carol A.

“It was so great to be able to know our animals were well taken care of while we were away. We left Angela with our two dogs (one a 7 month old puppy who ate something terrible before we left and was having some mild stomach issues) and our cat. She gave us updates and communicated if there was any problems and handled everything. If we have any trips coming up we would use her again! Our animals loved her!”

Cicily B.

“Meaghan did an excellent job. My dog was very happy with her. When we came back home everything was in order and our dog more happy than never !”

Patricia W.

“Jenna was not only terrific with our Shepherd, but also flexible with our schedule around the holidays. She did a super job, we couldn't be happier! ”

Ken C.

“House looked great and dogs were good! Kept me updated.”
