House Sitting in Briarcliff

“Christine is always amazing with our pups! We get picture updates and I never have to worry about the dogs while we are on vacation! I know that they are super happy with her and that’s such a great peace of mind for us!”

“Naomi is a wonderful pet sitter and we’re so thankful for all of her help. She goes above and beyond to care for my dog, Alfie. He gets pretty bad separation anxiety and I can tell how calm he is after Naomi has been with him for a few days. I know he’s getting tons of love, cuddles, and playtime. Can’t recommend Naomi enough!”

“Jorden helped me out tremendously with my puppy as he recently got neutered and cared for him while I was away. She gave me updates and communicated very well! I highly recommend her and will continue to use her for my pet needs.”

“Kayla was absolutely amazing! I’m so grateful to her and her daughter for showering my kitty with love and playtime while I was away. Kayla truly went above and beyond what I could have expected from a house and pet sitter. When I returned home, everything was spotless - she even washed the sheets, took out the trash, and handled other/extra details. I loved getting regular updates and photos of my kitty, which gave me peace of mind throughout my trip. If I weren’t moving soon, I’d absolutely ask Kayla to house sit for me again without hesitation. Thank you so much, Kayla! You were truly the best!”

About: ✳️ No holiday upcharge ✳️Guaranteed daily check-ins and photos for all stays While I am new to Rover, I am extremely familiar with dogs. I foster with 2 different non profit agencies and actually have 3 pups of my own. Aka the stooges or the 3 musketeers as I call them. My own dogs range in size from 13lbs to 105lbs and in age from 3 years to 9 years. All were raised from a puppy stage so I have experience with that stage, too. DOGS LIKE TO LEARN: I am not a professional trainer but have taken what I’ve learned from putting my own 3 through training and applied to foster and visiting pups. You’re welcome to pick something from the list and I’d be happy to start the training with your dog on these! This includes the following: - walking on a dedicated side when in leash (you pick left or right) - heel - sit - place ( huge on this since it allows dogs to settle their anxiousness) - short distance recall - whistle training - clicker training - treat training - spin - roll over - army crawl - leave it - off - take it - break (release from place) - paw - kennel - lay down - drop it - wait (helpful for dogs who like to rush out the door before you) - watch me (helps me out eye contact and focus) - sit before owner opens kennel YOUR PUP: will be treated as one of my own with any additional instructions you provide. I have a full time work from home job that allows me to be with my dogs as much as I’d like. I work my schedule around my dogs meaning I workout when it’s their exercise time or I run errands during their usual down time. I rarely if ever watch tv because I end up spending so much time with my pups routine and care. I truly enjoy it! My home: I have a quarter acre fenced property with a huge covered patio for dogs to enjoy in shade. There are child gates set up within my home to keep dogs in designated areas. This ensures my pups or fosters have access to water stations and dog door for yard access when needed. Yes, I have a dog door that accommodates for dogs up to 130lbs. I have 3 water stations set up in my home and dedicated kennels for our larger and smaller pups when needed. If needed, I am Happy to crate my pups while yours is being cared for in my mentioned care rotation. They are very used to both kennel and out of kennel routines as I have had foster dogs in my home. For dogs with mobility issues that still want to get out and about, I have a dog trailer / stroller that allows them to lay inside a shaded area while still seeing the outdoors. Your home: house sitting and check-ins include more than just your pups care and I’m happy to offer these: - Check mail / sign for any packages - plant care - lights to leave on - any light household chores (vacuum, dishes, laundry, surface cleaning, trash takeout) - being present for any home maintenance appts while you’re away (to match scheduled stay) - communicating w/ any visitors while you’re away (want me to lie to your nosey neighbors? Need me to tell a regular solicitor some info?)

“Rebecca exceeded all of our expectations! She took care of our dogs in our home for the weekend while we went out of town. She communicated frequently, sent pictures, and gave me updates throughout our stay. We came home to two very happy fur babies and our home was in perfect order. We will definitely use Rebecca again in the future - we highly recommend her!”

About: I have been house-sitting/pet-sitting for about ten years now! I am able to work weekends and i have a very flexible schedule. I would love to treat your pet to the best care! Pet care fits into my weekly routine with ease. I have very few responsibilities, as I am home from college, and would love to fully commit myself to pet care! I care for my pets personally to the highest quality of care I can provide. I currently have a 5 year old dog and 14 year old one. I accommodate to the 14 year old ones dietary and physical restrictions daily, and am sure to give them all equally a lot of TLC! I take this attitude when I take care of others pets as well.

“Payton is a responsible, professional and dedicated professional. She had consistently taken great care of our dogs, and our home. When she stays with our dogs, I don’t worry about anything. I can’t say enough about how wonderful she is!”

“Thanks to Luke for taking great care of our three pups while we were traveling. Appreciate the in house overnight care and attention he gave to all our dogs, including our senior guy who needs some special attention. Highly recommended”

About: Hi, I’m Carinne! I have been around dogs my entire life — caring for them is second nature to me. I’ve worked as a veterinary technician, so I’m confident handling pups of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, including those with medical needs. Currently, I work as a wildlife biologist, which has only deepened my love and respect for animals. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a cozy stay, or just some extra attention, I’m here to provide safe, reliable, and loving care. I treat every pet like my own! I am currently working remotely from my computer Monday-Friday and may need to go into the field a couple hours on some days so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I am fully available on weekends to spend lots of time for care, belly rubs, and playtime. It all depends on the pup and their pet parent! For example, with high energy dogs I can provide enrichment, long walks, and/or runs. For special need dogs, I can provide the proper care needed to keep them happy and healthy.

“Kennan did an amazing job watching my baby girl. Her roommate Andy couldn’t be anymore helpful. Because of they, my dog eye looked great when we came back from our trip. This is the first time someone has ever watched our dog and the eye did not become red. Our dog warmed up fast to her and she does not do that often. I would trust Kennan with my dog in the future and her communication is spot on!”

“Super grateful for Carmella who took great care of our two dogs while we attended the Final Four games in San Antonio.”

About: I grew up with dogs and adopted my first dog 15 years ago. I met my wife who had her own dog and expanded our doggie family. We then adopted three more dogs over the years. Our dogs have been well trained by Sit Means Sit. I create my own schedule as a business owner. I am ready to work around your schedule and pet care needs. Ready, Set, Let's Go! I am very cognizant of the weather and watching your pets for any signs of distress. Just like people, good exercise, water and food is essential care. A clean environment is a must!

“Hilary was fabulous! Our one dog that is scared of new people warmed up to her almost right away. Her communication was great and loved the pictures she sent.”
