House Sitting Bainbridge

About: growing up with a family dog, i’ve always looked forward to our long walks! since i've moved to care for my grandma and can’t have a pet at my current home, i’m looking to be the dedicated adventure buddy your pup deserves! i’m an avid walker who cleans up after your pet and loves exploring local parks and trails. i’m just as comfortable handling a brisk, high-energy trek as i am a slow, 'sniff-heavy' stroll for seniors or four-legged friends who love getting distracted! all sizes welcome: i absolutely love dogs of all sizes, from tiny pups to extra large breeds. if you have a giant dog, you are in safe hands here! being a taller, sturdily built person gives me a natural physical advantage and a grounded presence :) i don't get easily knocked off balance or intimidated by heavy pullers, meaning your big dogs get the steady, confident, and secure handling they need! hot weather: for dog-friendly clients, i am able to provide low-stress trips to uncrowded, pet-friendly stores/facilities for stimulation and enrichment (including a potty break outside before and after, of course!). i am also happy to walk earlier/later in the day to avoid the heat as well! i also enjoy keeping pets company in-home, whether it's playing with toys, using lick mats, or just spending some time together! my growing services & training: i am now certified in dog training, and offer a train & walk bundle if you're interested!! :) my ultimate goal is to become a true one-stop shop for your dogs, so i am also currently working toward learning professional grooming to add to my services soon! because i work evening and overnight shifts, i have guaranteed availability every morning and midday for your dog’s routine. whether you need a recurring daily walker or a same-day visit because you’re running late, i'm local and ready to jump in! my current job is closing in a few months, so i’ll be even more available for your schedule soon :) in public, i use a short-leash grip, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings without distractions like phones/technology of any kind (aside from photos, of course!), and avoid unknown dogs to keep your pup protected. i pride myself on being a trustworthy, punctual communicator, providing frequent photo updates so you’re always in the loop. i am very confident in my ability to kennel/leash pets & i consider myself well-versed in administering medication. i am keen when reading animal stress signals, ensuring your pet feels safe and understood under my care! as of august ive completed my initial dog training certification and continue learning to better my understanding and confidence in dog training :)

“This was our first time with Gianna and also the first time leaving our three month old puppy. Everything went beautifully. Gianna cared exceptionally well for our puppy and older dog and left our house in perfect order!”

“Lori did a very nice job watching our pets while we were on vacation. They were well fed, she took the dogs outside often and watered our plants. She sent pictures of our pets every day and told us how they were doing. She informed us when she was leaving the house for a while and didn't stay away very long. We were impressed how well our chihuahuas liked her. Our dogs don't like very many people....at all. We look forward to having Lori watch our pets when we go on vacation again.”

“Megan was an amazing dog sitter for Wilson! She was great with Wilson and communication was perfect. We would definitely use her again for any future needs!”

“Ava was SO AMAZING. She is super responsive and really knows how to take care of dogs. She stayed in our apt for one week and took care of our two dogs. They LOVED her and were having SO much fun playing and going on walks with her. She sent us daily updates, pictures, and videos which really helped with my anxiety as a first time user of rover. We will definitely use her again and you should too!”

About: I love animals but most of dogs because they keep me in a good mood. I make sure that dogs eat , get the right exercise, and got to the bathroom on time. I also own a dog of my own back my hometown. And we have a great relationship! I know what she wants just by her body language and her speaking to me lol kind of cute. Dogs are like humans. I love to play with dogs. Dogs give me a since of joy and calmness because I know when they are taken care of they trust me. I make sure that dogs retrieve the right nutrients that they will need as requested by the dogs owner. Dogs are my best friends. Safe!

“Sandy was wonderful to work with. She came over ahead of time to go through instructions, which I really appreciated. While we were away, she sent updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond in caring for our dogs, and when we got home they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Our home was also left clean and exactly as we left it. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Sandy again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”

“If you're like us, we look for care providers with multiple reviews so we have a better idea of who we're hiring. But everyone needs to start somewhere, and this time we decided to give someone a chance who hadn't received reviews yet; boy did we luck out. Jaina did a fantastic job looking after our 80 pound loverboy, Luca. She stayed in our home while we were away five days, and both he--and our home--were well taken care of. He even got a daily walk (in winter, no less!). Jaina is who you want in a sitter: responsive, reliable and kind. She provided daily updates and photos of our dog, too. We would hire her again, and suggest you do too before people catch on and her rates go up.”

“Shermont'e was very respectable and patient with our dogs, (our dogs can be shy meeting new people). He constantly gave us updates on how they were doing, and that our most shy dog warmed up to him by the end of his stay! 10/10 would recommend!!”

Tessa H.

“Although I had to cancel due to my trip being canceled, for the short time Dasha checked on my dog she was very professional and very good with dogs. I recommend her. Thanks”

Damani P.

“Chloe was wonderful. Dogs were happy. Great communication.texts and photos. Made it all work well. Thank you. We will be calling for her again. Highly recommend.”

“This was our first time using Rover, and finding someone to stay overnights with my pets. That was a really big deal for me. James has been amazing since the first time we talked. He took great care of my babies, my home and made my husband and I feel at ease. He was communicative, punctual and transparent. I would recommend James to anyone!”

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who treats every animal like my own. I have always had pets growing up and I always help out my family and friends with taking care of their pets while they are away. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, and senior pets, including feeding, basic training, and giving medications. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to each pet’s needs, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work in retail, so I can take care of your pets in the mornings and evenings. Occasionally, I’ll get off work in the early afternoon, so I’m also available in the afternoons. I’m quite adept at following instructions. If I ever have questions, I make sure to ask them instead of doing something and not knowing if it’s right or wrong.

“Brooke was great, she was super communicative and thoughtful. When I came home my cats were playful and out and about which lets me know they were comfortable while she was here. I can’t wait for her to watch the kitties again and would definitely recommend her!”

Whitney H.

“Jane did an amazing job watching our three pets! During the meet and greet, she was so knowledgeable and asked great questions. While she was watching our pets, we got a bunch of positive updates and could tell that she definitely took the time to get to know our fur babies. We felt confident and assured that she would do a great job, and she surpassed our expectations. She also took great care of our home. We definitely recommend her!”
