House Sitting Bauer

“Leaving your dog behind while traveling internationally can be stressful, but Michele made the entire experience worry-free. She cared for my dog, Max, while I was on vacation and provided outstanding communication the whole time. I loved receiving regular photos and videos, and it was obvious that Max was getting lots of attention and care. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my trip. I highly recommend Michele and will gladly trust her with Max again in the future.”

About: I absolutely love animals! I have experience with having up to 30 dogs in one yard and understand their body language to avoid fights and tiffs. I would love to help care for your fur babies to make sure they are happy and healthy! I have open availability mornings on weekdays! Evenings sometime are a little more tricky for me. If you are in need for help over a weekend reach out! I might be able to! 😁 I love making sure your pet is happy, safe and healthy. I have close attention to detail if you have any concerns, stuff to be aware of or things to be checked up on.

“Michelle is so awesome. Communication was perfect, took our whole crazy pack on daily walks while we were gone and even took care of our lizards. I already have her booked for another long trip.”

“I can’t even begin to tell you how great Kirk is. Part of me doesn’t want to, because he’ll get busier than he is even now. The care he gave our pets was more than I could expect. They love him. If you’re like me, coming home is one of the best parts of any vacation. We came home to a cleaner home than we left. Not only did he change his own sheets and towels and launder them. He performed other tasks that needed to be done. We’re getting older, and some tasks are harder for us than before. Kirk took care of them.”

About: I have had a wide range of cats and dogs that I have taken care of during my entire life. I know how to relate to and take care of several different breeds of dogs, I have a high rate of tolerance and I can really understand what are the necessities of any dog. I love them with all my heart just as you do as the owner, as I am a dog owner as well. I know how important it is to have a place that you can trust your pet to be while you are traveling, at work, or just need to go somewhere for a moment and need someone to trust to take care of your furry friend. Please note that my schedule is always subject to change, please contact me to confirm availability for specific times. (I.E. walk/groom your dog, feed/groom your cat, etc... 8a.m., I am unavailable the rest of the day or I'm unavailable in the morning and available to help out 7pm and later - PLEASE MESSAGE ME FOR EXACT HOURLY APPOINTMENTS TO CONFIRM AVAILABILITY. THANK YOU! I currently work part-time so I will have lots of time to be able to take care of your puppies. I have different days available each week however each of those days I'm completely available to help out with whatever I possibly can during our scheduled times, unless otherwise noted. I have a very spacious home where your dog/cat can roam as they please and find the comfortable place that they wish to relax. I also can give them attention based upon their needs if they have dietary needs, etc... and just let them relax and take care of them, feed them and take them on walks. I am currently studying part-time, so I have plenty of time to look after your pups or kitties. Same-day bookings are currently available for house-sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking. I can be trusted with keys/codes; I am very prudent about respecting others' property and only request that all relevant house rules are laid out before house-sitting. I will maintain reasonably consistent communication throughout the booking to keep the pup and/or kitty owners informed and rest assured their loved ones are in good hands.

“McKenzie went out of her way to come meet my dog and I prior to her stay. She has a very kind presence and made me feel very comfortable leaving my pet and home in her care. Would absolutely book again!”

“We had Staci stay with our Pittie, Jax, in our home, for 15 days. She came over for a meet and greet before we departed and Jax took to her immediately. Staci was dependable, neat, and trustworthy. She took such great care of Jax, even let him sleep with her. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were gone. We came home to find not only a happy dog, but a clean house too. I would definitely rebook with Staci and would recommend her to anyone.”

“We had a great experience with Larissa, she was very communicative, sent pictures regularly and always kept us up to date, I would not hesitate to use her again for any time we need herz”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Britt stayed overnight with our two dogs for six days and took amazing care of both our pups and our home. She treated our dogs like they were her own and kept us updated with frequent messages and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She also went above and beyond when our AC unexpectedly stopped working. She immediately let us know, and set up fans to keep our dogs comfortable until we got home. We were so grateful knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. She left our home spotless, was incredibly reliable, spent lots of time playing with them and giving them exercise, and made the entire experience completely stress-free. We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pets.”

Brianna F.

“They did a great job watching our home and many animals. We got plenty of pics and updates to let us know everyone was doing well. House looked better than we left it. Definitely plan on using them again.”

Rob P.

“Nathalia was absolutely amazing! Our two cats and dog were all so happy and clearly well cared for when we got home. She was incredibly communicative, responded quickly to messages, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. It was obvious she spent plenty of quality time with them, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust her with our pets again and highly recommend her!”

Hayden R.

“I am a new tender hearted dog owner who was so nervous to leave my pup. Nichole put me at ease and took wonderful care of Red. Daily updates and pics were great and kept me from worrying. She took great care of my house too. I will be asking Nichole again anytime I need a dog sitter!”

About: My services include feeding, grooming, exercising, and administering medicaton to animals. I am dedicated to physical and mental well being of your animals. Training, socializing, exercise, play time, rewards positive behaiviors and reduce anxiety. I am avalible early mornings, evenings and weekends. I currently am working remotley with a felxible schedule. As a sitter, I would care and commit my time to your animal specifications. Would like detailed list, tips and tricks, animal background to provide the best care. I am detailed and organized, I respect to attend to the needs for each animal based on clients needs. In addition to my technical skills, I am compassionate and empathetic towards animals, understand personalities and temperament.

About: The greater joys and attachments in life have come to me by the way of my dogs. I have always had a strong connection with my pets and have been accused on many occasions of treating my furry friends as well as, or better than humans. I'm extremely picky about the cleanliness and comfort of my house yet cannot imagine it being a home without the wonderful energy that only a pet can give it. Having taken in and assisted in the care of pets over many years, my file at a local veterinarian's office is ridiculously thick. It is that same veterinarian who shared with me that when he passes it would be his wish to come back as one of my pets. Be assured, I will love and care for your pet! My home is a warm and peaceful place- free from drama, full of good energy. I believe animals can keenly sense when they’re in a safe place from the moment they step into your space. They’re also acutely aware when it’s not. For the select pets who prefer staying in their own home while their humans are away, I enter in to your home with love, and respect of your space. I exercise discretion, as staying in your home requires a level of privacy that will be protected. I always vow to leave a property as clean and cared for as when I first entered it. Having spent a significant time in overseas travel, I found it unbearable from the moment I departed from home until I landed back home- my two dogs were always on my mind and in my heart. They were like my children. When I take care of your fur baby, they will be my one and only concern. I have a wonderful yard that is fully fenced- it’s a slice of heaven for any pup! I don’t keep them outside, especially when it’s too warm or too cold. I’ve never understood dog owners kenneling their dogs outside, having little interaction.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was born. My mom was a dog breeder so I would help her with the puppies and I just love working with animals they have such sweet kindred spirits. I have currently moved back home to finish school but need a job part time or full time because I do school online. And I can work nights or early mornings I’m my home our pets have been trained to ask to go outside. I would prefer to work at someone’s home just because our house is new and still is missing some fencing

About: I am new to Rover but grew up with a dog and currently have my own dog, cat, and kitten. I love animals and get along well with all my friends pets and and excited to meet more buddies! I am currently freelancing in photography and have a generally open and flexible schedule , so depending on when i have client work and bookings, with enough advanced notice to plan it out I cam dedicate time to your pets when they need it! I prefer to care for pets in their own home so they can be as comfortable as possible and reduce stress. I love playing and spending time with cats and dogs and love outside walk and park time!

About: Hi, my name is Alex, I am a full time student at the University of Utah. I have years of pet care experience, including larger dog breeds and anxious animals. Starting this fall, I am switching to in-person classes Monday, Tuesdays & Thursday. I have full availability Wednesdays, Friday, Saturday & Sunday. I am available for potty breaks and a check-ins in-between classes. My house is on the smaller/ medium side, very peaceful and cozy. There is a fenced yard but I normally take the dogs on a longer walk mornings and evenings.

About: We're a happy, clean, educated, highly experienced husband & wife housesitting team who love caring for animals and homes together. We've had steady stream of our own pets constantly for our entire lives up until last November, 2024 when we re-entered the world of full-time housesitting. Prior to that, we'd been full-time pet sitters for several years as well as occasional sitters, boarders, and pet fosterers. My husband graduated in zoology and so has that additional expertise. After graduating with his zoology degree, he continued on to medical school where he earned his Optometry degree & license. He left his solo practice in 2021 & now is employed as a full-time Optometrist who works long hours everyday. I am the primary housesitter who remains throughout the day and night with my husband joining me to help housesit during the nights. We have a great deal of experience with dogs and cats predominantly, but also have experience with other pets such as birds, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, lizards, snakes, chickens, fish, turtles, cows, pigs, horses, turkeys, etc. Animals and pets have always been a big part of our lives. Although not formally degreed, I studied animal accupressure, grooming, massage, nutrition, health, exercise, psychology, and training for decades. I'm constantly learning and love the time I spend with each and every pet. We have a great deal of experience in taking care of homes and properties as well. We're very accessible, easy-going, young-at-heart, responsible, dependable, yet also playful and patient. We're very clean and like to keep things tidy, fresh, healthy, and clean. We cherish our time in your homes with your pets and do all we can to be considerate, respectful, enjoyable guests in your home. We strive for repeat sits and so try to be good guests that you'll want to invite back time and time again to care for your home and pets while you're away. We can offer a variety of additional services related to the care of your pets and home if desired. We look forward to getting to meet you! We have returned to doing housesitting full time and have done it full time since last November, 2024. Although we like the "one-and-done" petsits, we especially strive for repeat sits. We prefer longer sits, but will consider shorter ones to fill in any availability gaps we have in our schedule. We only do housesits in the owner's home for overnight sits that are 2 nights and longer. We prefer longer sits. We do our best to be good guests so you'll invite us back again and again.

“Michelle was great. I cannot recommend her enough! We’ve got a temperamental senior Pyrenees who is notoriously fickle. But Michelle handled her excellently. We will definitely re-book for the next trip!”

About: Growing up on a farm surrounded by large dogs and with parents who volunteered at Hogle Zoo, I developed a deep-seated belief that animals and wildlife are an extension of our family, deserving of our protection and care. I fostered a profound respect for all our animal friends. My hands-on experience further expanded through working with horses in equine therapy and helping my partner in her grooming salon, where I've become proficient in bathing and drying both dogs and cats. This role has sharpened my ability to recognize and respond to the subtle sensitivities of these animals, enhancing an intuitive connection with them that doesn’t stop giving. As a dedicated pet parent to my own dogs and cats, I consistently apply a compassionate and knowledgeable approach to animal welfare. I’m a Private Chef by trade and have a lot of open availability. I travel for work and can travel to you, too! A lot of my work entails paperwork I do from home, making frequent check-ins possible and welcome. As a dedicated in-home pet sitter, I offer a comprehensive and compassionate approach to animal care, ensuring your pets thrive in their familiar environment. My experience includes professional grooming(bathing and drying only. Please refer out for complete groom), allowing me to maintain your pet's comfort and hygiene. I feel really confident in caring for animals who may experience stress in new situations. I can providing a calm and reassuring presence. Beyond direct pet care, I provide meticulous attention to detail. Home is Heaven. I’m a jack of all trades and your pet sitter could include light yard care, cleaning and professional meal prep to ensure your home remains, BETTER and MORE COMFORTABLE than you left it. My commitment is to deliver reliable, stress-free care, treating your pets and home with the utmost respect and diligence. Who knows? In a time that is desperate for community, maybe we’ll make life long friends in the process.
