House Sitting in Augusta

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care our dogs received this weekend! They were so happy and relaxed when we got home, which says everything. The house was absolutely spotless, and I really appreciated the thoughtful balance of photo updates. It was just enough to stay connected without feeling inundated. To top it all off, I came home to a lovely handwritten note that was such a sweet surprise. Truly above and beyond!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Jill! She took amazing care of my three large dogs, and I could tell right away that they felt comfortable and happy around her. It’s not easy managing three pups with different personalities and needs, but Jill handled it all with such ease, patience, and love. She kept me updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. When I came home, the dogs were calm, content, and clearly well cared for. Jill is responsible, trustworthy, and truly has a heart for animals. I’m so grateful we found her, she’s a total gem and we can’t wait to book her again! 🐾”

“That’s such a sweet detail — here’s the updated review with that added in: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She was absolutely wonderful with Ozzie, Molly, and Pita. Her calm, low-key energy was just what they needed. When I got home, everyone was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. She even took the time to run water for Pita, which he loves. It was such a thoughtful touch! It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. I’ll definitely be using her again.”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was sixteen years old. I have taken care of dogs of all kinds and sizes. I have been responsible for feeding, walking, and cleaning up after them. I'm currently working part-time so, my schedule is pretty flexible and I can work around your schedule. I have plenty of time to walk, play, and feed your animals! I am available all day on the weekends. Since I am unable to watch clients' pets at my own home, I watch their pets at their own homes. I can either stop by multiple times a day to feed and walk the dogs or I can stay all day or overnight to take care of the animals.

About: Retired law enforcement officer following her passion for animals. Pets are family. Our furry family includes multiple cats and dogs. Committed to the love and care of your pet and the security of your home. I am retired and available most days. Can do any hours needed. Enjoy walking dogs or playing with cats. Your furry family will receive the attention they need when you are not available. I own a fenced in farm and pet safe home. Your family member will be safe and have plenty of friends to make with our 2 dogs and 7 cats.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my own pets since I was 10. I also worked at a dog kennel and as a dog grooming assistant when I was younger, and I’ve dog-sat for other families. These experiences taught me how to safely handle dogs, help with bathing, and keep them calm and comfortable in new places. What makes me different from many sitters is my experience with senior, disabled, and recovering dogs. I’ve cared for pets after surgery and illness, including staying up overnight to watch them, hand-feeding, helping them move around, and gently taking them outside. I also cared for my disabled Lab whose back legs didn’t work, helping with bathroom needs, cleaning, and daily comfort. Because of this, I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs who need extra help, medications, or a slower pace. I treat every dog like family and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily schedule. I complete my schoolwork through flexible online classes, which allows me to be home most of the day. Because of this, I’m able to give pets frequent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I’m used to caring for pets as part of my daily routine at home, including feeding, cleaning, and making sure they are comfortable and safe. This flexible schedule allows me to be reliable and fully present for the pets in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get walks or potty breaks, and receive lots of attention and playtime. I also give any medications if needed and keep their space clean. I respect the client’s home and keep everything tidy, including cleaning up pet messes, washing bowls if needed, and making sure doors and gates stay secure. I send updates and photos so owners know their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while their family is away.

“David makes our dogs feel safe and loved. They run to him as soon as they see him. He followed all our specific instructions and was very conscientious. He snuggled with them and played with them. We really appreciated how positive he was about staying with Belle and Rory. We would definitely use David again!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for shy, timid pets who need gentle reassurance. I’ve fostered 60+ rescue dogs and have years of experience helping anxious pups feel safe, calm, and cared for. My focus is overnight, in-home sitting so your pets can stay in their normal routine—sleeping in their own beds, in the place they feel most comfortable (no boarding stress). I am happy to send photos and updates of your pets while you're away so you can enjoy your travels knowing they are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love. While you’re away, I also treat your home with respect and care: bringing in mail/packages, rotating lights, watering plants, and keeping things tidy. Expect reliable communication, photo updates, and calm, steady care—walks, playtime, enrichment, snuggles, and support for separation anxiety/routines. I work full time for a nonprofit with some remote work flexibly as needed. My schedule is an 8 hr work day and start and end times can be adjusted as needed. I am experienced with crate training, basic obedience, special diets, walking, mental stimulation and calming techniques and lots of love, affection and snuggles. Services can be modified for the specific needs of your dog(s) or cat(s).

About: I’m a stay home mom working as a pet care taker/nanny. I have had the pleasure to own and grow up with animals during my childhood days and into the present day. I have been working with animals for about 5 years and absolutely adore it and take pride in my work. I have experience working with llamas, alpacas, goats, and sheep. I have had also worked as a kennel attendant/assistant for a veterinary office in the past. I’m looking forward to meeting my new furry friends and my journey working for Rover. I’m a stay home mom and work as pet nanny. My schedule is super flexible, allowing me to provide optimal care for your fur baby. My daytime, evenings, and weekends are always open. I enjoy waking up every morning doing what I do for the animals and their owners. I have a pet friendly apartment and sidewalks to walk dogs. I’m very reliable and extra cautious of my surroundings and other animals near by.

“Ryan did an excellent job watching our two dogs this past weekend! They were both happy and tired when we got home. He sent lots of pictures too. You could tell he is very passionate about animals. We will definitely be using Ryan again for any pet sitting needs.”

About: I had the privilege of caring for my rescue dog for 14 years and have spent years pet sitting for friends. I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities and always provide dependable, loving care so your pet feels right at home. I’m a teacher so my afternoons and summers are free! I’m home around 3:45 every afternoon and have weekends, holidays and summers off. I would love to take your pet with me on my daily walks/hikes, or pet sit when needed. I’m open to all situations. Happy to house sit, or just pop in for regular walk breaks. I walk/hike every day and would love to take your pet on the trail too!

“Christina came to pet sit on fairly short notice but was up to speed very quickly on care for both my senior dog and cat. She was very professional, reliable, responsible and communicated every day with me sending texts and photos updating me on my pets welfare. I was able to trust her and enjoy my trip away worry free. I will have her back again very soon as it was a great experience for myself and my pets!”

“My husband and I recently had a 5 day trip planned and were struggling to find care for our 6 year old dog and our young puppy ! I was super anxious about leaving them for the first time but after meeting with Jessica and Guillermo I immediately felt at ease. Jessica was super communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the day of our pups! I never had to guess what they were doing and both the pups had a blast! Jessica was also very respectful of our home, we came home to everything clean and put together just how it was before we left. Our puppy is a huge chewer and she ended up chewing a little bit of our carpet, Jessica immediately informed and showed me, and it was wonderful to have someone so transparent and honest about anything they happened while we were gone. We will absolutely be using them again for our next trip! (As long as they’ll have us) haha.”

“I highly recommend Brenda & Francis! Our dogs took to them right away! That says a lot because one of our dogs can be a bit temperamental when you first meet him, however, he was seemingly happy and comfortable! What a relief! Thank you Brenda & Francis!”
