House Sitting in Bell Acres

“I usually use Rover's boarding option, however, I wasn't able to find anyone in close proximity during this busy summer. With this being my first time using the house sitting service, I was nervous about leaving my dog and opening my home to someone I had just barely met. However, Mahle made this experience less stressful. We established a meet and greet a few days after I initially requested the days I needed a sitter for my dog. She responded promptly to my messages and showed up right on time. She was friendly, interacted and played with Koa as we discussed Koa's schedule and personality. When we were away, I did have to message her to see how everything was going and she responded quickly with updates of my dog and a picture. She was very respectful of my property and most importantly I came home to a happy dog. I feel more at ease using this Rover option and will definitely ask Mahle if she can sit for my dog in the future. Thank you, Mahle!!”

“Sent pictures, followed instructions, my animals and my house have little particulars that she listened to well, too! My house was clean, animals were well taken care of and happy when I got back ❤️ Would recommend Cayla and will use again! Thanks again.”

“Sydney did an AMAZING job watching our dogs. We have one reactive dog and there was some tension in our house between dogs, plus two have medical needs. so I was so so nervous to leave them. Sydney followed all my instructions and she even watched for signs of tension, healthy play, etc. Truly above and beyond—she spent a ton of time at my house and I came back to very happy dogs. Would definitely recommend her to folks like me with dogs that require a sitter who pays extra attention and care!”

Lindsey B.

“Alisha was wonderful! Great communication, reliable, trustworthy, compassionate and overall made us beyond comfortable leaving our pets in her care! She came and met the dogs beforehand to get to know them and asked questions we never would have thought of. She covers everything which helps put your mind at ease. She was very respectful of the house and when we returned it looked as if no one had been here. She was very patient and attentive with one of our dogs who struggles with new people. She went above and beyond to try to make her as comfortable as possible. We received multiple pictures and updates daily which really allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing our pets were in great hands. It was our first time leaving our dogs with someone and she was the best choice for sure! Hands down would love to have her back!”

“Brianna watched my dog and cat while I was away for a few days and she was great. I cannot say enough good things about her. She sent lots of updates and pictures. And my house was perfectly clean when I returned home. I highly recommend her if you need someone to stay at your house to watch your pets.”

About: I’ve fostered 11 dogs in my adult life in addition to owning two of my own. I’ve had up to 5 dogs living with me at a time and am one to embrace the chaos! Whether I’m staying with your dog overnight or just dropping by for a visit with them, I can help with potty training, socialization, and even teaching your dog basic commands like sit, down, and stay. My 5 year old mutt is a Canine Good Citizen so I know a little about best practices with training. I’m a firm believer in science backed, positive reinforcement only methods so your dog will never be yelled at, dominated, or made fearful under my care. If I’m walking your dog I’m not intimidated by poor leash manners and am happy to help work on them during our walks! No matter your needs, I’m here to help! I work from home 4 days a week, only going to the office on Thursdays. I’m available to help out anytime I’m not in the office. If your dog can be left alone on Thursdays from 8am-4:30pm I’m even available to help on Thursdays. I have two dogs who love other dogs in my home who would be available to help with socializing your dog. I’m a big believer in science based, positive reinforcement training only. Your dog will never be yelled at, dominated, or made fearful when under my care. My 5 year old mutt is very confident and great with showing other dogs (specifically puppies) the ropes.

“Jennifer was awesome. She was so great with Sarge, kept me updated on their goings on, and sent the cutest videos with commentary. Sarge had a great time with Jennifer and we will definitely be calling her again!”

“Emma was the best! I will definitely be using her again. She sent updates and pictures on all the little adventures she took my Stella on. Can’t say enough great things! Highly recommend.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. From energetic walks to mealtime routines and play sessions, I handle it all with care and attention. I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for like they’re my own. My schedule is limited through the end of August, but starting in September, I’ll have wide-open availability for your pet—whether it’s mornings, afternoons, evenings, or overnights. I’m highly flexible and can adapt to meet your pet’s specific needs, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment at all times. I can’t wait!

“Updates the whole stay & so wonderful. Thank you !”

“Corinne was fantastic with our dog and two cats. We got lots of pictures and updates and she was very easy to work with throughout the process. We’ve already booked Corinne for our next trip and know the pets and house will be in great hands.”

“Nicole treated our Great Dane/Giant Schnauzzer wonderfully! She was attentive to his fresh water, food schedule, playing preferences and toys. She also took care of our aquatic turtle by cleaning the tank, feeding her, and turning her lamps on and off. Nicole also cleaned our house and watered our plants after the 10 day stay. She gave daily updates and pictures. We love her and would highly recommend her!”

“Thank you Katelyn for taking care of our sweet boy while we enjoyed our anniversary trip. We appreciated the updates, cute pics, and having someone to snuggle with Archie while we were gone. Appreciate your help! Archie looks forward to seeing you again sometime soon.”

“Christina was an amazing pet sitter! She stayed in our home for a long weekend to care for our mini labradoodle and our rabbit. I knew from the beginning that the pets were in good hands--she asks detailed questions and makes sure she has all the right info in case of emergency. She sent lots of pictures and was an excellent communicator. We came home to happy pets and a spotless house. I will 100% be booking with her again when we need a sitter!”

Margo L.

“Aubrie was fantastic and we'll definitely ask her to stay with our three Corgis again when the occasion arises. She was punctual, keep us apprised of how the fur babies were doing, sent photos multiple times, kept the house neat - all around great experience! Thank you, Aubrie!!”

“Sarah was great, stepped in with short notice and stayed at my home with my 2 big dogs. She kept us informed and sent pics- all with a creative streak that we enjoyed. Beast thing I can say is the dogs behaved as if we hadn’t been gone art all! Definitely recommend and hope to be a return client.”
