House Sitting Baker

“We enjoyed meeting and talking with Darla and her husband. Our dog, Clover, liked her right away. They had a good weekend together, and the house was clean as we left it. I highly recommend her as a house and dog sitter.”

Ginny W.

“Laura was great! She was very flexible with my complicated schedule. Came over beforehand to meet my dog and gave me updates throughout. Would use her again and recommend!”

About: I’m open to caring for your animal, the way you do at your home. I have experience with caring for older dogs with complex medical conditions, food aggression, medication administration, and slow feeders. I have experience walking dogs requiring different training tools. I have experience in puppy training and potty training as my family and myself have fostered puppies from 7weeks to a year old. I'm a Senior in college and spend dedicated time focusing on academics… so what better way to spend the rest of my time playing and caring for animals! I work with my internship from 8-5, so my nights are free and I’d love to be cuddled up with your fur babies. I am attentive to your animal's specific needs. I have knowledge with making sure property is secure, choking hazards, medication administration, and some training tools. I am open to your requests.

About: Light grooming experience. I can do long walks of 4 miles or more. I have a dog car seat that can accommodate large and small. Full time pet sitter. Drop ins, overnights and anything in between. Punctual, reliable, and I would risk life and limb to keep your pets safe. My cat is indoor but has an enclosed catio with pet door access in my apartment. Automated feeder, multiple water fountains and giant litter box.

About: I have been in-house pet sitting for 8 years now. What started as a college side gig has now turned into my side job business. After years of getting referrals by word of mouth, I recently, in 2026, decided to go public with my business! So that brings me to Rover! 🐾 I believe pet care is about more than just a task of feeding, potty breaks, and walks. I have always had a deep love for animals and making sure they feel LOVED. When you choose me as your sitter, your pets become my bonus-furbabies, and I love them as if they were my own! I learn your pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they receive love and care that is tailored to them. A lot of my clients are repeat clients, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality. As the owner of Paws & Relax Pet Staycation, I value building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel cared for and comfortable in their home, and for you to return home knowing that they were treated like family. I currently work full-time near Grelot Rd. and University Blvd. When you hire me as your in-home pet sitter, my goal is to spend as much time as possible at your home with your pets, seamlessly blending their care with my workday schedule. I also provide overnight stays to ensure your pets have companionship throughout the night, keeping their usual routine completely intact and stress-free! If your home is within 15 to 20 min from my workplace, a midday visit is available for a potty break for your pets. I only provide pet sitting inside the client's home, as I believe pets do best in their own familiar surroundings. I always schedule a Meet & Greet at least two weeks before your trip so I can meet your pets with you there—that way, I’m a friend walking through the door on day one, not a stranger. While I'm visiting, we’ll fill out a personalized care sheet together. We'll map out everything from feeding schedules and medications to their favorite games, daily habits, and emergency info, ensuring they get the exact care they're used to.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always loved caring for pets! I have experience with feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and providing lots of attention and affection. I’m comfortable following specific routines and instructions to make sure every pet gets the care they’re used to. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I’ll treat every animal like they’re my own and keep owners updated with plenty of pictures and messages. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone around to keep them company, I’m happy to adjust to their individual personality and needs! As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m available between and after classes, as well as during many evenings and weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and plan visits, walks, feeding, and playtime around their needs. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly so you know exactly when your pet will be cared for Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow all instructions provided by owners, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, crate instructions, and any household rules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s normal routine. I’ll give your pet plenty of attention while keeping you updated with pictures and messages so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with big dogs for a while and was always relied on to take care of them when my parents went out of town or to take care of my friends/neighbors dogs when needed. I would play, feed, give medicine when needed, and bathe them. I’ve always been a dog person and I hope You can trust me to watch your babies!! I also am very experienced with cats and how to care for them as I have grown up with cats as a child. My schedule is pretty set for everyday and rarely changes so I can make sure my visits fit your schedule needed and mine so there is no conflict! My oldest dog cooper is currently on a lot of medicine. I have been responsible a lot of times to make sure he gets his medicine needed daily and to make sure it is right. I also feed my dogs everyday for my parents and a lot of times take them out on walks for them or make sure they go outside and play. I make sure they ever feel lonely and always give them all the attention and love they need!

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received from Paige. She is incredibly sweet, attentive, and genuinely loves what she does. She walked him several times, kept him company, and stayed with him while I was away, giving me total peace of mind. I came back to a happy, relaxed pup who was clearly well‑loved in my absence.”

Priya B.

“Abigail did an excellent job staying at my house and taking care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we went out of town. She is very trustworthy and I really appreciated the daily photos!! I will call Abby next time for sure. Thanks Abby!!”

About: Pet sitting is a long-standing family tradition for us. When my daughters were growing up, their demanding schedules as competitive dancers didn't allow time for them to hold traditional jobs. To help fund their training, the three of us spent years house and pet sitting together during summers and holidays. I taught them the deep responsibility, respect, and attentiveness required to care for someone else's home and animals. In fact, those lessons stuck so well that my daughter, now a professional dancer, still pet sits between her contracts! Growing up, my life was beautifully full of dogs, cats, birds, and horses (along with an open-door policy for any stray or injured animal that needed help, including rabbits, squirrels and armadillos), which gave me a lifetime of hands-on experience and a deep intuition for animal behavior. Over the decades, I have comfortably managed everything from standard routines to specialized care, including administering oral medications, managing strict supplement schedules, and caring for pets recovering from injury or dealing with age-related limitations. I understand that every pet has unique emotional and physical needs, and I pride myself on providing a calm, steady presence that makes them feel safe and completely secure in their own home. Specialized Experience & Capabilities With a lifetime spent surrounded by dogs, cats, birds, and horses, I comfortably provide specialized, high-tier care that goes far beyond standard pet sitting: Puppy & Kitten Socialization: Building foundational bonds, routine structure, and basic command reinforcement. Senior, Hospice, & End-of-Life Care: Providing a gentle, dignified, and highly intuitive environment for aging companions. Medical & Supplement Management: Expert administration of oral medications, strict supplement schedules, and precise medical timelines. Injury & Surgery Recovery: Meticulous oversight for pets navigating strict physical limitations or recovering from trauma. Anxious & Trust-Building Needs: Creating a secure sanctuary for fosters, recent adoptees, or pets with separation anxiety. Personally & Professionally - Please note: While I am new to this platform (referred by my daughter, a long-time Rover), I bring an 11-year history as a five-star Airbnb guest with a track record of excellent reviews, a five-star rated DoorDasher, and I am also a corporate professional with an established, vetted background on LinkedIn with over 2,000 connections! My status as a WFH (Work from Home) professional allows me to provide your pets with round-the-clock supervision and deskside companionship. My baseline rate accounts for standard flexibility, allowing me to step out for up to 6 hours as needed. For pets needing true Constant Care—where medical, dietary, or anxiety needs require me to remain on the property continuously—there is a $25/day premium add-on. About Me: Committed to Elite, Constant Care ​Hello! I am a remote-working professional (who LOVES to Travel) embarking on an intentional, vibrant new chapter of life as an empty nester. For the last 25 years, my proudest title was "Mom," raising two incredible daughters as a single mother. Now that they are navigating their own successful paths, I am dedicated to bringing that same fierce devotion, love, and round-the-clock enrichment to your beloved fur-babies. (NOTE: One daughter lives on a cruise ship as a performer, my oldest daughter lives in NYC, and other family members spread about, leaving me interested in traveling ALL OVER - So please feel free to request me!) ​I understand the profound worry that can come with leaving your pets behind. My mission is to alleviate all anxiety by offering true constant care in the comfort of your home. I bring an intuitive, deeply empathetic approach to caregiving, connecting with your companions on a heart-to-heart level to establish trust, routine, and a calm, steady presence while you are away. ​My Heart & Dedication: Stories of True Commitment ​My intuition for animal behavior isn't just a hobby; it is a lifelong calling. I don't easily fluster, and I have a deep-seated "open-door policy" for any creature in need. To understand the level of dedication I bring to your home, you just have to look at a few chapters of my life: ​Beating the Odds with Bali: Shortly after COVID, I lost my beloved Pomeranian, Bali (whose beautiful life I chronicled on Instagram - Her picture in my profile). When Bali was born, she was so critically ill that vets said she wouldn't make it. I refused to give up. For two solid months, I held her tiny, lethargic puppy body constantly, bottle-feeding her around the clock until she finally perked up and beat the odds. She grew up believing it was beneath her to bark or even use the bathroom in a public space—she was part cat, part human, and the absolute center of my world. That is the level of fierce, round-the-clock devotion I bring to animals under my care. ​A Gentle Guardian for Seniors (Intuition When It Matters Most): I deeply respect the vulnerability of senior pets. During one of my sits for a sweet senior Golden Retriever, I noticed some unusual lumps that her owners hadn't yet seen. I advocated for her and urged them to take her to the vet, where she was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer. A short time later, while her parents had to travel for an essential work trip, I watched her again. Within a couple of days, I could sense a deep shift in her energy—I knew the signs, and I knew she was declining. Though I make it a strict rule to never unnecessarily disrupt a client's trip, I followed my intuition and called them, gently but firmly explaining that they needed to come home ASAP. They arrived the next day, and she peacefully passed away the very next morning. Her parents were profoundly grateful; they couldn't imagine the heartbreak of not being there for her final moments. I bring that same protective vigilance to your aging companions. ​Rescuing Boomer: My home has always been a sanctuary for those who need it. I once rescued a scrawny, struggling young cat named Boomer in a parking lot. She was so incredibly grateful for the food and safety I offered that she kept coming right back to my front door (hence her name, "Boomer" for boomerang). Eventually, I made her an official indoor cat, and she spent the rest of her days as the happiest, most pampered girl. ​The Miracle on the Roadside: My respect for life extends to all of nature's creatures. I once pulled over for an armadillo on the side of the road that had unfortunately been hit by a car. Though she had passed, I noticed her stomach moving. Her pouch was full of live babies. We rescued them, brought them home, and successfully bottle-fed them. ​Every Life Matters: On another occasion, I spotted a tiny squirrel lying motionless on the sidewalk after falling from a tree. I carefully wrapped her in a towel, secured her in a large, comfortable box to give her room, and spent hours calling resources until I connected with a local squirrel sanctuary that took her in.
