House Sitting Avoca

“This is my second time booking Sarah for house/dog sitting, and she’s great! This time I asked on pretty short notice, and she was available and accommodating to my schedule. Will definitely book again :)”

Nealee W.

“My dog Alfie seemed to have a great time with Joshua! I hired him for in house sitting while on vacation and he was a phenomenal house guest, fantastic with Alfie, and did a wonderful job of sending updates/photos and accommodating any of my requests. 10/10 would recommend going forward.”

Carson M.

“Lauren was great! She stayed with our boy for 5 days while we were in Florida. We recieved tons of photos and updates about his eating habits. She took him on walks and gave him lots of love. Charlie can be a handful sometimes and we are so happy that we chose lauren and came home to a happy and healthy boy.”

Sabrina T.

“We are incredibly grateful for Sherri! Our trip unexpectedly got prolonged due to weather conditions and she kindly stayed over with our dogs until we could get home. It was such a relief to have someone so thoughtful, kind, and dependable at our house taking care of our dogs. We will always book Ms. Sherri if she is available!”

Blake B.

“Chelsea was an amazing pet sitter! She sent pics and updates multiple times a day and contacted me to clarify anything she was not 100% sure of. I really appreciate that effort, rather than assuming things that could lead to negative outcomes. She was very kind, and my pets were extremely comfortable with her, which my Kitty can be VERY picky, and my dog Mac is very anxious. 10/10!”

Madisen M.

“Hailey was great and took great care of our kitties. We are using her again.”

Cindy B.

“Erika is phenomenal! We feel so lucky that she was willing to house sit & watch our 3 dogs. Between their struggle with potty training and their nervous personalities, they can be a handful - but Erika took it all in stride. She has a very calming personality and our dogs took to her much more quickly than they usually do with strangers. She kept us well updated with photos and notes, and left our house in excellent condition. We would absolutely recommend Erika’s services to others and hope she is available to watch our dogs again in the future.”

“Although he wasn’t able to get Sonny to engage, it was obvious that Sassy was well cared for. He left the house in better shape than he found it.”

Mary W.

“1st time using Carson. 3 days before we left on vacation, one of our pups was diagnosed with Diabetes and had to start taking shots. Didn't faze Carson. Jumped right in kept him on schedule. Carson did a fantastic job with our 2 pups and we thank her very very much!”

About: Hello everyone! I am a work from home mom and two dogs of my own. I’ve been a massive animal lover my whole life, and there’s truly nothing I enjoy more than hanging out with animals. Whether your dog needs a high-energy buddy for walks or a calm companion to cuddle with during a house sit, I’m your person. I get that leaving your pet can feel a little stressful, so my main goal is to make sure they feel totally safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I’m big on communication, so you can always count on plenty of cute photo and video updates to show you how much fun we're having! I am currently a stay at home mom to three kiddos and two fur babies. My dogs go out first thing even before my coffee. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time each day to walks, outdoor time, and exercise for your fur baby. I have two fur babies, one is good combination of spunky and old, our other is handicap so I have experience with older dogs also

About: I know how much you love your pet and how hard it is to leave him/her with someone you trust. I’m the same way. I decided to join Rover when I had to leave my pup, and my family wasn't available to care for her. I found someone who ended up being a lifesaver, and I wanted to help in the same way. I have cared for dogs from puppies to older pups, and love each stage. I can also help with any special needs your furbaby might have. I have watched family, friends, & neighbors' pups for ages and volunteered at the Roger's Humane Society for years. Hi! My name is Rebecca. Two things about me make me a great pet sitter: 1) I love pets & 2) I'm home all day. I want your pet to feel right at home. I am fortunate to work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to adhere to your routine – whether that's set mealtimes or going for walks at a certain time each day – as well as plenty of time for lots of love and cuddles. I have a large home with a huge fenced-in yard and a Golden who loves to play. She's one of the reasons I joined. She's happiest when she has fur friends over and has never met a pup she doesn't like. Our home has a doggy door that leads into our large fenced-in yard, allowing your pup to go to the bathroom, go out and play, lie outside, and even sunbathe on the deck. It's completely up to them, and they can enjoy being outside whenever they want. I am happy to text and/or email with you as much as you would like, with lots of photos & videos – giving you peace of mind knowing your furbaby is not only safe, but they're having just as wonderful a time as you are.

About: I have a remarkable talent for connecting with both dogs and cats, a skill that comes from my deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. My patience and empathy shine through in every interaction, allowing me to build trust with even the most timid animals. With dogs, I excel at training and behavior modification, using positive reinforcement techniques that create a fun and encouraging atmosphere. Your keen observation skills help you recognize subtle cues, enabling you to communicate effectively and forge strong bonds. Whether it’s teaching a puppy to sit or helping a rescue dog overcome fear, your dedication and expertise make a real difference. When it comes to cats, my intuitive nature allows you to understand their more nuanced behaviors. You know how to create a safe, inviting environment that encourages them to come out of their shells. My ability to read their body language helps you foster trust, making even the most aloof cats warm up to you. Overall, my skills with dogs and cats highlight not just your knowledge but your genuine love for animals. You have a special gift for nurturing their well-being and happiness, creating a harmonious space where they can thrive. I am free most weeks and travel some weekends fo my Job. I work in the music industry so my schedule is very flexible month to month. I am a very loving and caring person when it comes to my pets. My dog Gigi is the center of my world and I love her very much and love to make sure she is fed well with organic food as well as very active outside with walks and playing frisbee in the park or going on hikes.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and have almost always lived in a home with three or more at a time, so caring for multiple dogs with different personalities, ages, energy levels, and needs is second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own dogs as well as pets belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, larger breeds, feeding schedules, walks, medications, basic grooming, and maintaining the routines dogs are used to at home. Having a multi-dog household has also taught me how important it is to pay attention to each dog individually—reading their body language, managing introductions, giving them space when needed, and making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. When your dog stays with me, I want them to feel like they’re staying in a home, not a boarding facility. I’m happy to follow their normal routine and provide plenty of photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re being well cared for. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have dogs of my own. I’m currently able to offer a flexible schedule throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I’m home frequently, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I’m also happy to work around your dog’s normal feeding, exercise, and sleep schedule. I have a dog-friendly home with a fenced yard and plenty of room for dogs to play, relax, and feel comfortable. Since I have dogs of my own, I take introductions seriously and pay close attention to each dog’s personality and body language. Dogs can be separated or crated when needed, and I’m happy to follow any routines or boundaries you use at home. My priority is making sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of individual attention.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes since I was 10. I’ve always loved being able to care for my loved ones pets, whether it be walking, bathing, or feeding them. I have had almost any pet you can imagine, and it brightens my day to be surrounded by animals. I am a driven and caring student wanting to put myself through college, and make animals happy! I’m currently working a flexible schedule where I can choose my own hours, so I am practically available whenever I am needed. I am available on weekends and weekdays. I have a large dog and cat friendly home with a fenced yard and a walking trail by the water that would be enjoyable for dog walks. There are no children in the home, and I have a friendly dog and cat who loves to play if allowed.

“Tyler was amazing with my boys! Sent regular updates and pics. The boys seemed so at ease and peaceful when we arrived home which was very comforting. House was also clean! He took out the trash and cleaned up around the house. Will be requesting Tyler every time we have trips out of town planned.”

“Aubree was SO great with our doggies, Teddy and Millie! We made a last minute decision not to travel with our dogs and she was willing to come do a meet and greet and accepted the job very last minute, thankfully! She stayed at our home and made our sudden trip away for a family funeral much less stressful because we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have an older dog and a middle aged dog with potty issues, especially when routines change at home. Aubree was patient and willing to clean up after them and I’m so grateful for that extra work and effort. She also sent us pupdates while we were away and pictures! Her communication is always positive and reassuring, making it such a pleasure to know her and work with her! We’re already working on scheduling with her for another trip coming up!”

“Keleigh took great care of my dog while I was out of town! Very communicative and clearly cares about your pet in the same way you would!”

About: I've been pet-sitting for over a decade. I prioritize open communication (and plenty of adorable fur baby pics!) so that you can enjoy your trip without the stress. Some examples of specialized care: Geriatric care, Administering prescribed medications, Blind+Deaf pet care, etc. I'm an actor! This means that sometimes I have to travel for work. I also have several regulars that I pet-sit for, and their schedules are booked months in advance. Because of this, I ask that you provide dates as early as possible so that I can confirm whether or not I have availability. Whenever I meet a new pet, I will ask in-depth questions about their routines. It makes an easier transition for the lil guys if I'm able to maintain their schedule as closely as possible. I will also double-check how long a pet can safely be left alone in case I need to run errands or there is an emergency.

About: A calm, loving home where your dog gets to be part of the family 🐾🌿 My days are a mix of kids, dogs, nature, and a little controlled chaos. 😂 I homeschool my kids, work with dogs at Zen Dog Training, and spend as much time outside as I can. Dogs staying with me naturally become part of our everyday routine. Your dog won't be sitting in a kennel all day or treated like just another booking. They’ll hang out with us, get plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, exercise, and lots of downtime in a calm home environment. I’m a nurse by trade, so I’m naturally pretty attentive to the little things. Safety, routines, medications, behavior changes, and making sure everyone is comfortable are all things I take seriously. I’ve also spent years caring for and working with dogs, including nervous dogs, high energy dogs, seniors, and dogs who just need a little extra patience. What your dog can expect here: 🐾 Lots of companionship and attention 🌿 Walks and outdoor time when appropriate 🧠 Play and mental enrichment 🛋️ Plenty of quiet time to relax 💊 Medication and routine care when needed ❤️ Care based on your dog’s personality and needs I really enjoy getting to know each dog's personality. Some dogs want to be outside sniffing everything and involved in absolutely everything we do. Other dogs would rather find a cozy spot on the couch and spend the day napping. Both are totally welcome here. Working in professional dog training has also taught me a lot about reading body language and understanding when a dog needs space, structure, stimulation, or just some time to settle in. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I want you to be able to enjoy your trip or time away without worrying about how your dog is doing. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like an individual and make them part of the family while they're here, I'd love to meet you both and see if we're a good fit! 🐾 I’m a remote worker with a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m home most of the day. I’m able to give dogs frequent potty breaks, attention, playtime, and plenty of time to settle in and relax. I also keep my calendar updated so my availability is accurate. I’m home most of the day, so your dog gets lots of companionship and attention instead of being left alone for long stretches. My kids love dogs, but interactions are always supervised and I’m mindful of each dog’s personality and boundaries. I keep things calm and structured, with frequent potty breaks, play, enrichment, and exercise based on what your dog is comfortable with. I also work professionally with dogs, so I’m comfortable reading body language and handling different temperaments.

“Great communication throughout, really cared for my kitties, and left the house spotless. Sent lots of pictures, and was super responsive. Thank you Justine!”
