House Sitting Blackhawk

“Louisa and her daughter Samantha are wonderful. I had to book them last minute, they were flexible, on time, and respectfully did what I asked them to do! They are very patient with my 7 yr old lab and my 9 week old lab puppy (we all know how naughty and energetic they can be). I received several updates during their overnight stay, and both of my girls were very content when I got home from work. Definitely would recommend them!”

“Sidney was great! Very attentive, patient and kept us updated the whole time! We have a very energetic pup who is still learning manners and she was patient with him. We also have an old girl who can be a little unsure of new people and she gave her the time and space to warm up to her. The dogs were in great hands! We will be using Sidney again!”

Kim and Molly J.

“Tucker was amazing — he took great care of my fur baby and provided pics regularly AND he was gracious and unflappable in the face of some unforeseen challenges. Flexible, great communicator, and left the house cleaner than he found it. Great with following directions and proactively taking care of all the things — he even noticed the light on the automatic feeder and refilled it before I even messaged him about the notification I’d received. Perhaps best of all, he saw AJ for the loving, playful kitty that he is—so I knew AJ was feeling comfortable and that he was in good, kind hands. Would definitely recommend to others and would be glad to have his help again!”

“Poorna did an incredible job overnight sitting for our two dogs, Chopper and Ophelia, while we were away on vacation. She provided lots of updates and many great pics of them while we were away unprompted, and was an amazing guest in our house as well. We would recommend her to anyone and will be booking with her in the future.”

“Anna did a great job with our dog Oscar! Anna took him on multiple walks and was excellent with updates and sending photos. We will most definitely use Anna again!”

“Andrea did a wonderful job taking care of Toby and was communicative with clear updates throughout the weekend!”

“Ann did an excellent job in taking care of Indy!! She frequently kept us updated with pictures. Indy was very comfortable and safe with Ann.”

Vinoth G.

“Megan took excellent care of my pups while I was away. One of my dogs became ill right before I left. She kept me updated on his condition and her concerns, as well as handling my sassy girl! I will definitely use her services again! My pups loved her.”

Leah H.

“Ann was phenomenal! She was so patient and understanding of our dogs and kept us informed with constant updates. The pictures we received we very reassuring as well and we felt completely comfortable being away knowing they were very well taken care of. We would not hesitate to book with her again, as it was one of the best experiences we've had.”

“Stephanie is a delight and I am so thankful we connected with her and could have her petsit for us. She met with us several times before our week away so the animals could get to know and love her before our departure, which really showed how dedicated she is to giving them the best care. As others have stated, the house was in better condition than we left as well and she was very thorough in making sure everything is perfect for the return. The animals loved her and we were able to truly relax on our vacation because we knew she had everything taken care of. Thank you Stephanie, for your wonderful service and we look forward to the next time!”

Laura E.

“Asked question about the girls to get to know them. Provided a lot of pictures while we were gone.”

About: I am a cat person through and through but I love all pets including birds, lizards and fish! I have had them all of my life and have 5 pets currently. I will not be charging extra for multiple cat households, multiple small or medium sized dogs or mixed animal households. The more the better! I have experience administering oral medications and trapping stray kittens and adult cats. For 3 years, I took care of a feral colony until I was able to S/N and rehome them as barn cats. Before having my son, I traveled frequently so I understand cancelations and modifications. I also know the feeling of being stressed out about your pets at home while being away. I promise that I am a great communicator. Since I work from home on my own schedule I can do multiple stop-ins a day at anytime. Though, every once in a while, I will have my 18 month old with me so I am not taking on very large or aggressive dogs. Though, I can make accommodations to try to be childless for your smaller dog or your cat if they are not kid friendly if the appointment is very early or after 1:00pm. In my younger days, I was a take-my-dogs- everywhere type of person until the dogs and I got older and stopped going everywhere. Having older dogs has given me experience in senior dog needs.

“Great experience! Our sitter took wonderful care of our two Labrador puppies—playing with them in the yard, giving them a special treat, and keeping them happy and content. We loved receiving photos of them playing and resting peacefully. Highly recommend!”

“Jacki is amazing!!!! I cannot say enough good words about her! She provides constant updates with great information about the my pets and lots of very cute photos! She made me feel super confident that my pets are well taken care of so I don’t have to worry about them. There’s always an update coming my way right when I wanted to check. She also has great attention to details and noticed that I had a perishable package delivered. She checked in with me to get my permission for next steps and I really appreciate how she approached that situation. It is an amazing experience having Jacki as a sitter. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering.”

Maggie L.

“Lisa did a terrific job with our fur babies! She was very careful and caring with them, kept us posted with the right amount of details, and kept the home really clean. Would definitely have her sit for us again!”

About: My pet-sitting experiences include looking after both cats and dogs day to day and for extended periods of time. When taking care of cats, I make sure they have clean water and food at all times; keep their environment clean; watch over them and see if they are healthy; and interact with them by playing with them on a daily basis. I also have experience caring for dogs of various sizes and energy levels. Making sure their fed, walked, groomed, and cleaning up any messes/ their environment. In addition always making sure they have access to clean drinking water and providing plenty of playtime and attention. I occasionally take care of a family friend’s dog who has arthritis. I help keep her comfortable through gentle massages, giving her medication as directed, and hand-feeding her when necessary. In doing so, I learned to be patient and attentive in caring for an animal's individual needs. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals. I always go the extra mile into taking good care of animals, ensuring their safety, and comfort in the absence of their owners. I treat every pet as if they were my own and doing everything I can to ensure their happiness. I am extremely flexible with regards to my schedule, and can be available for the most part of the day. I wake up early, so feeding and taking the animals for walk won't be a problem at all. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I value their safety, trust, and maintaining a calm and familiar environment for their pet. It is important for me to carefully follow all the instructions concerning their feeding schedule, treatment, taking medication, and other specific care. It goes without saying that I make sure that the pets receive proper meals and have clean water to drink. I also try to keep the house as clean as possible, including litter boxes for cats and any messes that may occur. I also observe the pets to ensure everything seems normal and they’re healthy. I believe that building trust with both pets and owners is essential, I’ll always provide them with updates and photographs about the current condition of the pets. My goal is to make sure their pet is cared for and mostly importantly happy.

“Brenda was amazing!!! She took great care of our house and our cats. Sent pictures and updates, and left the house cleaner than she found it. 😁 We needed last minute help, and she was so flexible and accommodating! I would not hesitate to hire her again!”

“Meta did a fantastic job dog sitting our large dog for over a week while we were away. She handled all of our dog’s medication, feeding, and walking, and took her into daycare on the days where she needed a little more exercise. She shared daily updates, was super responsive, and when we needed to make a last-minute change during our trip, she was supportive, and did what she could to make things as easy as possible when we returned. She took excellent care of our dog and our house and we’d love to work with her in the future!”

Michael A.

“We couldn't have asked for a better experience with our recent Rover sitter! She was absolutely fantastic while watching our dog, Scooby, for the week. From the start, she excelled at being adaptable, seamlessly adjusting to Scooby’s routine and needs without any issues. We also truly appreciated the frequent, reassuring text messages and photos she sent throughout the week, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, she provided Scooby with an incredible amount of love, affection, and exercise—he was a very happy pup when we returned. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
