House Sitting Arrowhead

“Terri was an absolute sweetheart with my dog Kip, I don’t think it’s possible to have found a better sitter than her considering how difficult the job was. Seriously all the other sitters that I talked to on this app were not capable of caring for her or outright did not want to but Terri was all about it and got the job done with no issues at all, I would highly recommend for any of your animal needs”

“Teresa did a fantastic job with our three pups and took great care of our home. Teresa is personable, understanding of what is needed and is very caring. We came home to three calm and happy dogs who obviously were well cared for.....and a spotless house. Teresa checked in with us everyday and keep us well informed while we were out of town. I couldn't be happier with a pet / house sitter and will definitely hire Teresa again! I highly recommend Teresa!”

“Joyce was awesome. She was kind enough to come very early in the morning and stay with my pupster. She communicated very well, sent updates and was absolutely a rock star in caring for my Boston Terrier. Additionally, my dog loved Joyce as soon as she walked in the door and honestly, I trust my dog’s opinion about people 100%. Would absolutely recommend Joyce to care for your fur-babies!”

About: I owned a huge Malamute/Lab rescue who ended up rescuing me. I miss being around animals. I will take my time in walking and spending time with your furry family member. I just moved here from Brooklyn NY. I walked miles upon miles in the snow and rain with my Dog. I enjoy being outdoors. I have been a dental Assistant for the past 30 years, I’m more than capable in keeping calm in a tense situation. Our Dental practice was pet friendly. I was the person in charge of handling all of the pets. I had a Great Dane panic at the sound of the drill, I soothed him throughout the appointment. I’m also a trained Dog Walker. I volunteer at the Jacksonville Humane Society a few days a week. I’m looking forward to helping out families that need an extra hand.

“Very easy going and was available for a last minute booking! Margaret even took off the sheets and washed them without being asked. Will book again!”

“Kristie watched our two cats and two dogs overnight and was very communicative. She sent photos and updates and clarified instructions for my high needs 16 year old shih tzu. We appreciate all the care and attention to detail!”

“Valeria was amazing! This was my first time using rover and having someone come stay with my bunnies and kitties, she did not have experience with bunnies but was still willing to take care of them for me while I was away. I was nervous leaving my babies with a stranger but she made me feel much better about it, she sent pictures and videos throughout her time with them and always responded to texts. I could not have found a better person to stay with my babies, she was very kind and made my babies feel safe and comfortable with her too!”

About: As a pet sitter, several factors set me apart from others in the field and contribute to the exceptional care I provide to furry companions: 1. **Tailored Care Approach**: I believe in personalized care tailored to each pet's unique needs, preferences, and personality. By taking the time to understand each pet individually, I can provide a customized experience that meets their specific requirements. 2. **Training Expertise**: I have specialized skills in training puppies, teaching basic commands, leash manners, and socialization. I understand the importance of positive reinforcement and consistency in training, which can help puppies develop into well-behaved and confident dogs. 3. **Senior Care Experience**: With experience in caring for senior pets, I am familiar with the specific needs of older animals, such as joint issues, mobility challenges, dietary requirements, and medication management. I provide gentle and attentive care to ensure their comfort and well-being. 4. **Healthcare Knowledge**: I have a good understanding of pet health and hygiene practices, including administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and providing basic first aid if needed. This knowledge allows me to respond effectively to any health-related concerns that may arise. 5. **Communication Skills**: I prioritize clear and open communication with pet owners, providing regular updates, photos, and detailed reports on their pet's well-being and activities. I value transparency and strive to maintain a strong relationship built on trust and reliability. 6. **Passion for Animals**: Above all, my deep love and respect for animals drive my commitment to providing the highest quality of care. I approach each pet with compassion, patience, and enthusiasm, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy in my care. These qualities, combined with my dedication to excellence and professionalism, make me a standout pet sitter who goes above and beyond to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. Incorporating pet care into my daily or weekly routine is essential to ensure the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Here's how pet care typically fits into my schedule: 1. **Daily Routine**: - **Morning:** Start the day by feeding the pets and taking them for a morning walk or play session to help them burn off energy. - **Throughout the Day:** Provide additional meals, snacks, water, and potty breaks as needed. Engage in interactive playtime or cuddle sessions to keep the pets entertained and emotionally satisfied. - **Evening:** Feed the pets their evening meal, take them for a walk or potty break, and engage in more playtime or relaxation before bedtime. 2. **Weekly Routine**: - **Grooming:** Schedule grooming sessions such as brushing, bathing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning as necessary. - **Exercise:** Plan longer walks, trips to the dog park, or other forms of physical activity to keep the pets healthy and stimulated. - **Training:** Dedicate time for training sessions to reinforce good behavior, work on obedience commands, or address any specific training goals. - **Healthcare:** Stay on top of veterinary appointments, medication administration, and general health monitoring to ensure the pets are in optimal health. By integrating these activities into my daily and weekly routine, I can provide consistent care and attention to the pets in my care, fostering a strong bond and ensuring their overall well-being. Flexible scheduling and adaptability are key to accommodating the individual needs and preferences of each pet under my supervision. As a pet sitter or caregiver, I provide personalized care for pets in both my home and clients' homes based on their specific needs. Here are some general ways I ensure the well-being of pets: 1. Feeding: I follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, and dietary restrictions. 2. Exercise: I engage pets in playtime, walks, or other forms of exercise to keep them healthy and happy. 3. Potty breaks: I maintain regular potty breaks for dogs and clean litter boxes for cats. 4. Medication: If needed, I administer medication according to specific instructions provided by the pet's owner. 5. Comfort and companionship: I provide pets with love, attention, and companionship to reduce stress and anxiety while their owners are away. 6. Safety: I ensure that the environment is safe and free of hazards that could harm the pet. 7. Communication: I keep pet owners informed about their pet's well-being through updates, photos, and messages. 8. Special care: For pets with special needs or medical conditions, I provide extra attention and care as required. These are just a few examples of how I care for pets in my home or my clients' homes, tailored to each pet's unique needs and preferences.

Im a stay at home mom who has a good amount of time to check in on your pets or take them out for a walk. I love animals and will do everything I can to take care of your pet and follow any guidelines that you provide. Thank you, ✨

“Ryan was able to accommodate us last minute for two separate days that we had to be out of town for the whole day. He is responsive and will update you when he arrives and leaves.”

About: Lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on pet care experience. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and treat every pet with the same love as my own. My schedule is currently very flexible, it gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets throughout the week. I follow each pet’s normal routine and your instructions closely, while providing plenty of attention, as well as affection, playtime, and a safe, comfortable environment.

“Chloe was amazing with all three of our dogs. They felt very comfortable with her, she was very patient with our very energetic whoodle. She left our house in perfect condition and met all of our babies needs throughout the whole day. We will be contacting her again for any other dog sitting we might need in the future. Very grateful for her.”

I’ve pet sit cats, bunnies, chickens, etc. I have experience in training and have dogs of my own. I can walk your dog, play, brush, bathe, etc. Whatever you’d like! We can discuss my schedule to see if it works out for you! I work part time as a dog bather i usually work from 6am-1/2pm and am usually available any time after that!

Whether at my place or yours, I follow your exact feeding, walking, and care instructions to keep routines consistent, safe, and stress-free.

“Cheyanne was great. She sent me pictures throughout her stay and my animals responded really well to her which is so great because my dog is super anxious and doesn’t always love new people, but she really liked Cheyanne. She’s a great option if you need someone to take care of your babies.”

About: Hello. I am a lifelong dog owner and dog carer. I have owned a Brittany Spaniel, and a Shischon from puppy-stage through the end of their lives. Currently I care for a senior Lab and middle-aged German Shephard/Rotweiler mix, both belonging to my daughter who lives in Jacksonville with her husband and my 18-month old grand-son with another expected in November. I've been a Rover client and sitter off and on since 2018. I've not been active for almost 5 years during which time I've worked as a freelance researcher on almost a full-time basis. The demand for that work is shifting and I want to return to dog/house-sitting to supplement my income. I am comfortable walking, visiting and house-sitting small- and medium-size dogs, including senior dogs, and am experienced with giving medicine. I have a BS in Business Administration and 30+ years of work experience in the legal services industry. I am a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend. I love to walk outside, grill, and sit beside a fire. I'm an SEC fan, so fall is my favorite time of year! I want to acknowledge the one negative client review regarding a client's senior dog. I was hired for drop-in visits . I let time get away from me for two visits. One of the things that Rover does well is notify dog owners know when their sitter/carer is onsite. The owner notified me when I did not arrive within a reasonable time of the scheduled time and I immediately went to the client site. The dog was fine but the owner was obviously alarmed and terminated the relationship. I take full responsibility for those lapses and they will not happen again. I ask for the opportunity to meet you and your pet and discuss if this is a good fit for us all. Kind regards, Suzanne I am a freelance researcher and work remotely from home. I have full schedule flexibility enabling me to meet your pets' daily schedule for feeding and walks. I am able to be present in my client's home throughout the day and night, available to your pet(s) as needed. I enjoy taking them for walk, playing with them and cuddling with them. I'm generally good with letting them sleep with me, depending on their size and temperament.

“Sarah has yet again gone above and beyond for me and my pups. My flight home was cancelled and she had no issues going to make a last minute extra stop to check on my pups! I will continue to use Sarah anytime I need a sitter. She treats my animals like one of her own and I couldn’t ask for more!!”

“As always, Andrea did a great job caring for our 5 pets and sitting at our house. We can finally go on vacation without worrying about our furbabies!”

About: Whether your companions need feeding rituals, city strolls, running, playtime, cuddles and puddles, meds, or time to run the fields (eh um... backyard), I follow your routine and details. I also take care of the home: watering plants, tending the garden, tidying up, and handling any house and yard specifics that just can't wait. You get peace of mind while you're away. Having lived in cities and on farms, I'm comfortable with most pets: dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits, and small furries. I've also bottle-fed and cared for baby animals and other high-needs pets. Every mama needs a break once in a while. Depending on your routine needs, I'll generally fit my schedule around yours and/or talk about the plan with you. For nearby visits 10-15 min away, multiple times a day is possible since my schedule can be worked out. For more involved or more rural visits that require more time or need constant or overnight care, please let me know your needs and we'll discuss and agree on the schedule that works. For a house sitting assignment, I generally need to make sure I have somewhere to work on my computer for my remote job and clarify other living arrangements if that is part of the house sitting requirements. I can plan to be there during the day/night as needed, and expect to come and go as if I were living there (get groceries, run an errand) making sure to not be gone for more than the agreed upon amount of hours away based on any pet care needs. I prefer to care for your animals in your home and require a meet-n-greet before your first visit to make sure we're compatible and that I can perform all the details safely in your absence. At the time when I'm expected to care for your pets and/home, I'm expecting to be the only human in the home and that you can rely on me while you're away. At all times, I need a well-lit safe way to enter and exit. It's important to discuss the security of your property with me so that any doors, alarm systems, keys, lights, cameras, utilities, gates, etc. are known and there is a responsible plan for them. I have a series of questions when we meet to get to know your fur babies to know how you expect them to behave and their typical reactions when walking, socializing or other specifics in the home like a favorite object, toy or calming place. For dogs, I like to know their favorite things on walks and their not so favorite areas. If possible, I would love to walk the path with you that you normally take for first time clients.

“Jules was wonderful! She was responsive, sent pictures, and even bought little treats and toys for our dogs. She was attentive to the dogs and also very respectful of the home! The dogs always looked happy as can be in the pictures. Thank you, Jules!”
