House Sitting in Auburn

“Laura did a great job caring for my senior dog overnight! She is very responsible, making sure he was comfortable while we were out of town. We will definitely be hiring Laura again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for over 15 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and great at reading animal behavior, whether that means giving energetic dogs plenty of exercise or providing calm, gentle care for seniors or anxious pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time and set my own schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and accommodating to my clients’ needs. I’m able to adjust my availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended care, including weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize clear communication to ensure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I have a fenced-in yard and prioritize a calm, safe environment for all pets in my care. I have two cats who are kept comfortably separated with their own space when dogs are visiting, as I understand transitions can be challenging. I’m very mindful of introductions, happy to crate dogs if needed, and always follow owner preferences and routines to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for.

“We really liked Jenny and more important our dogs really liked her too. She even came early and turned on the fans we forgot to turn on when we left. I would have her back anytime.”

“Awesome young lady. Made friends with the dog quickly. Just stopped at her work and the dog loved seeing her. She comes back next month.”

About: With years of experience caring for animals, I'm confident in my ability to provide exceptional care for your furry family members. My background includes caring for a variety of pets, from playful puppies to senior cats needing a little extra TLC. I'm adept at handling all aspects of pet care, including feeding, administering medications, and ensuring they get plenty of exercise and enrichment. I'm dedicated to following each pet's unique routine and will treat your companion with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. You can rest assured that your pet will be safe, happy, and comfortable under my care. I am available weekdays after 4:30 PM and any time on weekends to drop in to care for and play with your furry family members. During my drop-in visits, I'll provide fresh food and water, and, of course, give them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I'll also send photo updates so you can see how happy and comfortable your pet is in the safety of their own home.

About: I have had animals from the time I was a toddler. I have cared for small and large dogs, cats, lizards, rabbits, fish, gerbils, and various farm animals. I will love and care for your animals like my own! I have plenty of availability to care for your animals, just call me or send me a message and I can get to you asap! I will respect your home and make sure the animals are cared for as well as I care for my own! If you need me to clean up anything, I can do that as well. A clean environment always helps me have a fresh mindset!

“The dogs loved Elena and we did too! She played with them outside and they loved it. She kept in touch with us and kept us up to date on what was going on with our babies. We will have her again! Anyone would be lucky to have her for their dog sitter.”

About: I have 3 German shepherds, and I know how much care goes into making sure they are well-fed, trained, and taken care of. Your pets are family, and I would treat them as though they were my own. I also am a runner, and I run with my own dogs - up to 3 at a time (size and temperament dependent). If you have a dog who loves to run (or who needs to), I would love to have them join the crew. If your dog has behavioral challenges, this may be something we can do to wear them out and make them one happy pup. I would love to share my own experience with you to help you learn just how important structured exercise is to your pups (and your!) lifestyle. I work for myself, and I have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. I'm open to coming up with a schedule that works for both of us. I treat every animal as if they were my own. That means lots of play time, attention, and overall just good fun. That being said, if you have house rules, then we will follow them accordingly.

“Andrew was amazing! He stayed 2 nights, 3 days with my 2 babies. He took very good care of them like they were his own pups. I highly recommend and will be booking him again!”

About: I have been taken care of animals since I can remember! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals/different breeds and I love it! I have been taking care for friends and family, and I’m just trying to get more out there! I’d cuddle with them, play with them, feed them and give them treats, I take them on walks, I’ve taken some dogs to get groomed, I’ve even given baths before, and I’d do whatever needed to be done! I’ve stayed over night with animals before while the owners were out of town and I love being with new animals! I’ve also had to take care of some animals that needed insulin and other medications! I used to have a senior dog that I would have to help get up and carry outside when he needed to go! I love taking care of any animals and have so much fun doing it! I am currently working part time so I’d definitely have time to play with the animals and take them out as many times as needed! I work morning shifts so I’m free in the afternoon! I’m always taking care of my animals as well so I’m definitely used to it! My kitties have a cat tree they love and lots of toys we play with! I can do whatever is needed to take care of them! I can create your dog if necessary!

About: My name is Laura. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I have been a Rover sitter on and off for about 5 years and would love to take care of your fur babies while you are out of town. I have owned several special needs animals and am good at working with animals of all temperments. I have experience dealing with dogs of all ages and sizes. I especially love caring for older dogs who may need a little extra care and attention. I have worked with large groups of dogs and am willing to take care of several at a time if you have a large pet family. I have open availability and would love to play with your dog and make sure they are well taken care of. I have a full time job with flexibility. As long as I have about a weeks notice it should not be a problem to accommodate weekday visits to pets. Weekends are no problem. I like to do an initial house visit with the owner to get an idea of what the house looks like and where the pet is comfortable. If we cannot get a face to face meeting first please message me with detailed care instructions to ensure proper care for your pet.

About: I have had pets all my life. I have watched pets multiple times in the past, walked dogs, and cleaned up after them. I am a college student. Hello, my name is Andrew Hendricks. I’m currently looking for animal-related work. I’m a nursing student at UIS with a flexible schedule, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets. I’m responsible, reliable, and can’t wait to give them the attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard with two dogs, Milo and Mae. I love them dearly, and I will treat your dogs how I treat my own.

“Abby was wonderful with our dogs. They were happy to see her every night. We got home and everything was great, she even watered my flowers. She sent us pictures and stayed in contact. We will have her again”

Joan L.

“Shelbie was a Godsend to us. We trusted her with our baby and to stay in our home. She was wonderful with both our dog and our home. We would recommend her and we will keep her a part of our ‘pack’ for as long as she is wanting to! Finding someone you trust is hard and we are so grateful we found Shelbie!”

Amy W.

“Anthony continues to take such good care of my girls! He’s always giving me updates and sending pictures! He will always be my top choice when choosing a dog sitter!”

Danielle S.

“Heather was great! She will be our first call when we take another trip.”

Joan L.

“Amanda is wonderful. The love for our pet Doris was obvious & vice versa. She's kind, gentle & left us without any worries while we were away. Amanda stayed in touch with us, which is a nice perk! She's topnotch & we'll be having her come back as often as we can. We highly recommend Amanda for any of your home/pet needs!!!”

“Brooklyn did a great job the my fur babies. I feel very comfortable leaving them with her again and again . Thank you so much for taking great care of my babies.”

She will call or text with questions which I truly appreciate. Our home is always spotless when we return and our dog is happy and relaxed. Thank you Heather!”
