House Sitting in Avoca

“We love how well Lance interacts & takes care of our cats. He, truly, is a cat whisperer. We think they like him more than they like us. Our youngest will NEVER sit on our lap. He sends pictures of her every day snuggled up on his lap. We can't figure it out. When we leave them, we don't worry about them because we know they are in good hands. Thank you, Lance, for your caring so much about their needs. We will see you next time we leave town.”

“We would absolutely rebook again! She gave us piece of mind knowing our fur babies were being well taken care of, as well as our house. We were kept up to date of how they were doing and if she had any questions or concerns. House was left in great condition.”

Brandie W.

“Cody was a great caregiver for our Gypsy. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again. I know that by giving him such a high rating, he'll get more jobs, and I might miss out on scheduling him, but he is one of my favorite caregivers for our Gypsy girl.”

“Kendra is a repeat dog /house sitter for us. She always does a great job with our dogs and is very mindful of our house- don't even know she was here. She keeps us updated with photos and any concerns. We will definitely keep using her for she is very responsible and we can tell she loves our fur babies.”

About: I am an animal lover! I currently own two young vizslas and two adopted cats. I do live with my parents so my animals are well taken care when I take care of yours. I have had cats and dogs my entire life and I am almost 25 years old. I know how to feed and properly take care of any animal. I am willing to follow any directions and trust me no fur baby is too high maintenance. All fur babies are just our fur babies and I will treats yours like my own! I often give medicine too so no need to worry if your baby needs any medicine I can definitely handle that! Feel free to reach out and we can set up a meet and greet! I currently work from home and can work anywhere as long as I have Wi-Fi and luckily I have a mobile hotspot so I can work pretty much from anywhere and anytime if the day or night. I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. Many times I will let you know when I am at your home and give you an update for each drop in visit. I will send pictures. I will also play fetch or other stimulating games that are available in the home or in the backyard. My focus is to let you know I’m in your home and when I leave. My other focus is let you see your dog/cat so you know they are being well taken care of. The third focus is making sure all requests are being filled such as feeding and medicine and others as requested.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. It never mattered if the dog was mine, some one else’s or a stray, I loved them all - and still do! I’m currently working full time as a teacher. Luckily my school is a 5 min drive from my home, so getting home quickly is a perk ☺️ I do not do any after school activities, therefore when it’s 3:10 pm I’m headed home! My weekends are usually free and any holiday I am free! Your dogs home away from home 🥰 I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs of my own to play with yours! My home is set up to accommodate any dog needs whether it be food allergies, anxiety, training, medications etc.. I’m able to do it all for your pup(s)! If needed I can continue any training done at home. Due to having 2 herding dogs I have 5 years of experience training. Some of the skills worked on have been: basic commands, potty training - ring bell, crate training, redirection training and recall. One of my dogs has extreme anxiety which has allowed me to learn different ways to train him depending on circumstances. I have rooms and spaces set up in the home to allow the dogs to escape to when they are overwhelmed. While your pet stays with me their comfortability is my priority! When it comes to any type of animal I have endless love, patience, empathy and kindness 🖤

About: I love dogs cats, bunnies, birds and they love me! I am mostly available evenings and weekends! I am able to remain patient when your pet doesn't behave as expected, and stay calm so your pet doesn't feel and react to the anxiety. I am sensitive to and can recognize the needs of your pet and responds to them. You've probably worked hard to teach your pet the rules of the house. Make sure you let me know the rules! If you don’t allow your pooch to lie on the sofa or sleep in your bed, please notify me, I do not want to undo your training by bending the rules. I can be firm and consistent -- even if your pet gives me the begging puppy-dog-eyes! *alive* Im fully available and flexible to fit yours as yours furry babies needs. Please reach out and I'll be happy to accommodate to help ease your mind. I give my full attention and setup a routine that best aligns with the care needed. Please be open about yours and your pet needs!

“We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone as kind, loving, and caring as Sadie to watch over Layla and Blue. From the moment we met her, it was easy to tell she was a genuinely kind person—warm, thoughtful, and quick to connect with both us and our pups. She immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease leaving our dogs in her care. She went above and beyond in every way, always flexible and gracious with any requests we had—including helping to water our garden and keeping an eye on the house. The thoughtful updates she sent were so reassuring, and Layla and Blue looked so incredibly happy and relaxed in every photo. We came home to two joyful pups and a thriving garden. Leaving your pets in someone else’s care is never easy, but Sadie made it feel completely natural. Her warmth, flexibility, and genuine love for animals are unmatched. We’re beyond grateful for her and couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

About: My grandma owns her own dog rescue and I am always helping out. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals. My family has 3 dogs and one cat and I was the one that took care of them most. Now that I’m on my own I have kittens which are very friendly with dogs. I am available whenever you need me! Mornings, afternoons, and evenings whatever you need I can do for you! I can stay overnight at your house! If there will be dogs I am able to take them out whenever they need but mostly make sure they go out every hour. I love being outdoors so going on walks is a plus.

“Shaylee was excellent! Great communicator and sent us pics. Had peace of mind while she was caring for our high maintenance dogs. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I have 2 years experience working at an animal shelter and now I’m currently an evening Manager/Office Assistant at a pet resort. I am cat and dog first aid and CPR certified! I have many clients that I work with outside of Rover. Seeing new dogs/cats coming in everyday each with different situations has helped so much with learning. I have done pet sitting for tropical fishes, bearded dragons, birds, a lobster, a rabbit, tree frogs, snakes and different types of dogs. I also can house sit/check up on cats. I’m very responsible and respectful and I’m always available through my phone with any questions or concerns you have about your pet. I hope you consider me as your pet sitter! Can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! I work full time from 11am-8pm Monday-Friday. I prefer to do drop in visits before and after work. I can even stop by on lunch break. I make sure to make it a positive and safe environment for your pets. Before letting a dog out I check the yard, making sure that gates aren’t open and there’s nothing in the yard to harm them. Give the treats and lots of love.
