House Sitting Bradfordton

“My pets love Derrick! I loved getting the picture updates and hearing how they were doing. I was able to have such a great vacation knowing they were so well taken care of!!! Thank you Derrick & Laura!!!”

“Andrew stayed with my babies for the second time. He does a great job with them, they are well cared for, house still looks great when I return, and he checks in. I will continue booking with him and highly recommend.”

“Where do I start? The 4Ds (Dottie, Donnie, Dollie, Dorrie – Miniature Schnauzers) are already asking, “When is Aunt Melanie coming back?” From the first moment of meeting Melanie, I knew it couldn’t be a better fit. Two of my “kids” are rescues and need extra care, (attention in a different way) while the other two, demand lots of attention. She handled them perfectly. Add my cat Nicky to the mix, (also a bit of an enigma) and it’s a full house. Feeding time is a production, but she didn’t miss a beat and cleaned up everything. I highly recommend Melanie and know we will be using her again. She was my first pet sitter ever, and the experience was 100% positive…we had freedom, and the 4Ds and Nicky were treated to a day with Melanie.”

“Raina was very attentive and always provided updates on a regular. It was my first time i. A while using River again. It was as great and experience as before. I will definitely call on her again.”

Carolyn M.

“Michele was great! Will definitely look to book again.”

Fletcher C.

“Will definitely reach out to Neva again when I’m in need of pet care. It made my trip so much less stressful knowing my fur babies were in good hands :) highly recommended!”

About: Professional, responsible, mature male recently relocated to Springfield. No children- but have always had several dogs and cats. Have volunteered for over two decades with various welfare groups as well. Have actually been petless for over a year now- prior work schedule. Love all dogs and cats- and pets for that matter. Am wanting low key opportunity to work doing EXACTLY what I love- being around pets. Am very flexible, very responsible (have passed multiple extensive background checks for previous employment). Am very responsible, dependable, and absolutely cool under pressure. Am also very flexible and more than able to accommodate last minute and or emergency requests as well. Each and every client will be treated as my own! Thank you for your interest and time. I am very flexible and available 7 days a week- all hours of the day. Will also travel , within reasonable distance. Thank you- Stefan Currently am only available to take care of pets in their home, not my own. In emergency situations will consider my home or other options.

“Mary Ann did an outstanding job caring for our cats. She spent quality time with them, provided frequent updates, and sent plenty of photos throughout our time away, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned home, it was obvious our cats had been genuinely loved and well cared for—not simply fed and left alone. They were happy, relaxed, and clearly received the attention and affection they needed. I highly recommend Mary Ann to anyone looking for a pet sitter who will care for their pets with the same love, dedication, and attention that an owner would.”

About: I love playing with and paying attention to pups. Love to say hi to them every time we cross paths on the elevator in my building! Cats have the warmest place in my heart <3 As a medical student and proud rescue cat mom, pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I start each morning sitting with Ashley while she enjoys her wet food, and throughout the day, she keeps me company—often curled up beside me while I study. We’ve built a calm, comforting rhythm together that brings joy to us both. Caring for her during past UTIs taught me how to gently give meds, but mostly, it's our daily cuddles and quiet companionship that define my approach to pet care: consistent, loving, and attentive. For pups, as the weather gets nicer, taking them for walks is a great study break as well! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a calm, safe environment that feels familiar and comforting. I follow feeding and care routines closely, give lots of affection, and respect each pet’s unique needs and personality. At home, I am in a 1 bedroom apartment, and pets enjoy a peaceful space and my full attention, especially during cuddle breaks while I study. In clients' homes, I’m respectful, clean, and reliable—keeping pets on their usual schedule, providing regular updates, and always ensuring emergency contact and veterinary information is readily available, so owners can feel at ease.

“Shannon did a FANTASTIC job taking care of my babies. Tons of pictures and updates! She took them for so many walks. They were spoiled!! I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about them! Highly recommend!!!”

About: We’ve been hugging dogs since we were kids, and we’d love to hug yours! Penny, Ciel, and our family enjoy hosting furry friends - we take care of them and our pups play hard with them! Please note: *We cannot currently accept bookings for unneutered/intact male pups *We host a large, rambunctious group of pups throughout the week - pups who prefer quiet, calm environments may not have an enjoyable experience here, and we will happily recommend sitters who may be a better fit for your family Hosting pups is our full-time job - your pups become part of our family while they’re here! We spend our days with our guests, playing and chatting with them, and can attend to everyone’s needs regularly throughout the day. Our 24/7 dedication to giving your pups the best experience while away from your home makes us a great choice for day care and socialization opportunities! We accept bookings between 7am and 7pm; we will consider bookings outside these hours on a case by case basis, potentially for an additional cost. Our availability for picking up and dropping off is limited but we aim to be as flexible as possible. Reach out with your needs and we’ll work out an arrangement that works best for all of us! Our entire yard is fenced in - there’s room to run full speed! We can adjust feeding schedules as needed to accommodate your dog’s diet. In good weather, pups are free to go inside and outside at their leisure. We don’t require pups to use crates while we’re gone or overnight, but if you prefer your pup be crated at any time, we’re happy to do that and have multiple available. Male pups will wear a belly band for the first 24 hours of their stay, at minimum - this soft, absorbent band fits around their belly and attaches with Velcro on their back. Belly bands reduce marking behavior, especially in unneutered males. You may bring your own, but we can supply them, free of charge. Using belly bands keeps our home calmer, cleaner, and fresher by eliminating marking behavior and reduces anxiety for future pups by giving them less reason to want to mark over the scent of previous pups. We have indoor and outdoor security cameras in many locations that can be helpful to review if any safety situations arise. The safety of all of our pups is very important to us! (They’re also great for catching fun footage!)

“Very kind, trustworthy attentive and took good care of my spoiled labs. Highly recommend. She stayed overnight with my 2 large labs and did drop in visits during the day. Very glad I chose her. Dogs love her”

Lynn L.

“Awesome young lady. Made friends with the dog quickly. Just stopped at her work and the dog loved seeing her. She comes back next month.”

“Abby was great to work. She communicated frequently and asked questions to make sure she followed what Yoly needed. She kept Yoly in her routine and was a great house guest. I would not hesitate to book with Abby again.”

About: My name is Laura. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I have been a Rover sitter on and off for about 5 years and would love to take care of your fur babies while you are out of town. I have owned several special needs animals and am good at working with animals of all temperments. I have experience dealing with dogs of all ages and sizes. I especially love caring for older dogs who may need a little extra care and attention. I have worked with large groups of dogs and am willing to take care of several at a time if you have a large pet family. I have open availability and would love to play with your dog and make sure they are well taken care of. I have a full time job with flexibility. As long as I have about a weeks notice it should not be a problem to accommodate weekday visits to pets. Weekends are no problem. I like to do an initial house visit with the owner to get an idea of what the house looks like and where the pet is comfortable. If we cannot get a face to face meeting first please message me with detailed care instructions to ensure proper care for your pet.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or just lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I work part-time and attend cosmetology school, but I keep my schedule organized so I can provide reliable pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting around my work and school hours, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications (if needed), and any special instructions exactly as requested. I understand that every pet is different, and I’ll treat your home with respect while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: I have been taken care of animals since I can remember! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals/different breeds and I love it! I have been taking care for friends and family, and I’m just trying to get more out there! I’d cuddle with them, play with them, feed them and give them treats, I take them on walks, I’ve taken some dogs to get groomed, I’ve even given baths before, and I’d do whatever needed to be done! I’ve stayed over night with animals before while the owners were out of town and I love being with new animals! I’ve also had to take care of some animals that needed insulin and other medications! I used to have a senior dog that I would have to help get up and carry outside when he needed to go! I love taking care of any animals and have so much fun doing it! I am currently working part time so I’d definitely have time to play with the animals and take them out as many times as needed! I work morning shifts so I’m free in the afternoon! I’m always taking care of my animals as well so I’m definitely used to it! My kitties have a cat tree they love and lots of toys we play with! I can do whatever is needed to take care of them! I can create your dog if necessary!

“A Guardian Angel in Disguise: My Extraordinary Experience with Jade, a Rover.com Pet Sitter When I booked Jade on Rover.com for a routine two-day hospital stay, I never imagined I'd be gaining a vital member of my home healthcare team! What started as a simple pet-sitting gig turned into a two-week saga of unwavering support, incredible flexibility, and heartwarming kindness running interference between pets and healthcare strangers in the house. Meet the Furry Patients Before I dive into the remarkable service provided by Jade, let me introduce you to my four-legged family members: * Addy: A protective, anxious, 67 lbs., 9-year-old deaf Sheepy with a heart of gold. * Ollie: A ditzy, 46 lbs., 2-year-old Border Collie with long hair everywhere, high excitement and love and kisses for everyone! Both of these largish dogs are on a specialized prey-model raw diet, which adds an extra layer of complexity to their care. From Pet Sitter to Healthcare Hero What was supposed to be a straightforward back surgery turned into a week-long hospital stay, followed by a challenging recovery at home. This is where Jade truly shined, transforming from a temporary caregiver into an indispensable ally in my healing journey. Above and Beyond: 24/7 Care Without hesitation, Jade stepped up to provide round-the-clock care for Addy and Ollie. But her responsibilities didn't stop at the usual walk, feed, and play routine. She became a master of adaptation, tackling tasks that were far beyond the typical pet-sitting job description: 1. Raw Diet Guru: With no prior experience, she dove headfirst into the world of raw feeding. Picture her wading through my freezer, pulling out various meats, and quickly learning the intricacies of raw diet preparation. Her willingness to learn and attention to detail ensured my pups didn't miss a beat in their nutrition. 2. Canine Exercise Expert: Despite their size and energy levels, she managed to keep both Addy and Ollie well-exercised and content. 3. Home Helper Extraordinaire: Beyond pet care, she pitched in wherever needed around the house. Her presence was like a soothing balm, reducing my stress and allowing me to focus on recovery. Ingenuity in Action Our sitter's resourcefulness was truly impressive. When faced with Addy's protective nature and hearing impairment, she developed a system of gentle approaches that soon had my cautious Sheepdog wagging her docked behind in greeting. The Impact: More Than Just Pet Care The peace of mind provided by Jade was immeasurable. Knowing that Addy and Ollie were not just cared for, but truly loved and engaged, allowed me to focus on my recovery without worry. Her presence turned what could have been a stressful and challenging time turned into a period of unexpected support and compassion and a new friend.”
