House Sitting Bushrod

“Agnes was taking care of my cat Fritz for a week and it was the first time I booked them. I was very happy with them and my cat too. Agnes is very responsive and they gave me every day feedback. Definitely can recommend them.”

“Sophia is an incredible pet sitter, run don’t walk to book her! Sophia came over for a meet and greet a few weeks before my travel dates to get familiar with my dog, cat, and home. While I was away, I received numerous detailed updates with photos and descriptions of their day together. Sophia was also an MVP while I figured out a nightmare travel day home - multiple cancelled flights and delays - she quickly responded to texts and ensured my girls would be taken care of beyond our initial booked dates. Once I finally arrived home, my house was spotless - bed sheets and towels washed, dishwasher loaded, carpets vacuumed, trash taken out. But the most telling was how calm and comfortable my dog and cat were 🥰 Excited to see me, but clearly had a very enjoyable, loving week hanging with their new BFF. Thank you Sophia! I will 100% be booking again soon!”

“Ollie took to Samantha right away. Judging from all of the great pictures Samantha shared when sending her daily updates, he looked like he was having a really good time while we were away. We would most definitely ask Samantha to dog- and housesit again if and when the need arises. 😊”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life and I love them so much. I have cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I have taken private puppy training classes, and I have a strong understanding of body language and behavior. I am comfortable adjusting my approach to fit their needs and personality. I like to send pictures and updates! I currently have a flexible schedule and I am happy to work with your routine. I am available for drop-ins and overnights as well. I can provide plenty of company, playtime, and attention while you're away. I treat every pet with the utmost care and attention to detail. I follow instructions and routines carefully, and I keep their environments safe, secure, and clean.

“Ana took care of our three cats and house sat while we were away for the weekend. As usual, she did a fantastic job: she took great care of our cats (two of which have very specific medication needs), was very communicative throughout the weekend, and sent lots of photos. We were able to fully relax on our trip knowing that all was well at home. I would recommend Ana to anyone looking for a cat sitter!”

“Jes is a pro! Jes watched our 2.5yr pup for about 6 days while we were out of town. It was very hard to leave her behind, but we were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that Jes was there to care for her. Jes is very patient, professional, easy to communicate with, and responsive! We would definitely re-book.”

About: I have experience with senior care, overnights, giving medication, and indoor/outdoor cats. I bring a calm and relaxed demeanor that often puts animals at ease. I will come meet your pet for a trial check to make sure we are a good fit. I understand that our animals are not just pets, they are family. I work from home In mental health and am lucky to have very flexible hours during the week. I really enjoy spending time with our fur friends in between my workdays or on weekends because it brings me a lot of joy, connection, and presence. I have a car and can drive to you to pick up keys, coordinate, and sit/stay. No matter if it’s a brief walk or an extended overnight stay, I will ensure your pets get a lot of caring attention while you are away. I am very careful with the details. Tending to anything hazardous for animals, keeping your space how you left it, ensuring your safety protocols are followed as you would if you were home. In addition to safety I will think of ways to enrich your pets time and keep them entertained, exercised, and given lots of affection to support the emotional health of our animals- not just the basic physical tasks. I will ask lots of questions to make sure I know where everything that could be needed is kept, emergency numbers are stored, and you can rest easily knowing your pet is in very loving hands.

“Bowie loved Anny! He misses her already. She was great at communicating with us and sending us pictures to brighten our day while we were away. We really appreciated coming home to such a clean house after being gone too, she left it better than she found it! Thanks Anny!”

Kathryn & Brock L.

“We loved having Laura watch our Pug while we were away. She's quite the animal lover and is very sweet with our boy. She even worked on some training!”

Annabelle B.

“Dawn has taken care of Lucy and Leeloo for the second time when we were out of town. Knowing that she’s housesitting and taking care of the pups gives us peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

“We can’t thank Michelle enough for the incredible care she provided to Hampton during our 12 day trip. This was our first extended vacation since Hampton was recently diagnosed with chf, and leaving him was understandably stressful. From our very first meet and greet, Michelle immediately put us at ease with her kindness, confidence, and genuine love for animals. Hampton now requires medication six times a day, and Michelle never hesitated to take on his complex care routine. She made sure he stayed on schedule, kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, and treated him like he was her own. Knowing he was in such capable and compassionate hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and a spotless home. Michelle exceeded every expectation, and we would not hesitate to book with her again. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond, Michelle is the one. Thank you again for everything! We are so grateful.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child, and caring for animals has always been part of my life. I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I enjoy walking, playing, and giving pets the attention they need while carefully following your instructions. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit. I'm currently very flexible and available throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can accommodate regular walks, last-minute bookings when possible, and recurring visits. I enjoy spending time with dogs and always make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following each owner's instructions carefully regarding feeding, medication, routines, and exercise. During walks, I always prioritize safety by keeping dogs securely leashed, avoiding unsafe situations, and paying close attention to their behavior. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while giving owners peace of mind.

About: Hi! I'm Nicole, and I've been caring for dogs through Rover for nearly ten years. I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pet, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I've had dogs my entire life, including Labs, rescues, and senior pets, and have experience with dogs of many different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, exploring new trails, playing fetch, or simply curling up for a quiet afternoon, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I work primarily from home, which allows me to provide lots of companionship, regular potty breaks, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I love spending time outdoors, and dogs in my care typically enjoy multiple walks each day, along with plenty of rest, enrichment, and affection. I know leaving your dog with someone else can feel stressful, so I make communication a priority. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for. I'd love to meet you and your dog. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I work primarily from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. I do teach a few yoga classes in the evenings, but pets are typically left alone for no more than about three hours at a time. I'm available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I provide overnight house sitting so your pets can stay comfortable in their own home and maintain their normal routine. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets. I take the time to learn your pet's routine and preferences and follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and medications to favorite walking routes and bedtime routines. I'm experienced caring for puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and pets with special needs, including administering medications when needed. Dogs are always walked on leash unless you've told me otherwise, and I prioritize safety, consistency, and calm care at all times. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your trip knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.

“Tami stayed with my two cats for one week and she made my time away stress free. She was in communication multiple times daily to let me know what they were up to and sent lots of pictures. When I got home at the end of the week, the cats were relaxed and happy. No problems at all. I highly recommend Tami!”

Terra F.

“Matthew was able to watch Charlie last minute and was great to work with. Matthew kept me updated, sent pictures, and Charlie seemed very happy and well cared for. Will definitely book again!”
