House Sitting BW Cooper

“Joree and my dog got along great. She stayed with him for the weekend while I took a last-minute trip. She sent plenty of photos and updates, and I came home to a clean house and relaxed dog. I would be happy to work with Joree again.”

About: I've never known life without animals! I've been responsible for pets from a very young age: from gerbils, to cats and dogs, to squirrels and goats, my circle of friends and family have always committed open homes and hearts to furry friends. Every stage of life, every shade of personality, I resolve to provide love, care and accountability. My personal dedication is boosted to professional assurance, as I am a long term caretaker at Mid City Animal House Daycare and Boarding. My part time work schedule is flexible, and I'm almost always in pet care mode since it's what I do! I am available for most services, from dog walking to house sitting, and if your pets would be good roomies with my pets, I am open to boarding on a case-by-case basis! I am comfortable caring for multiple animals at once, and following owners instructions with a keen eye. I am comfortable administering medications, special care instructions (i.e: elderly or special needs animals) and giving walks and baths. I am generally comfortable in unfamiliar places, maintaining a calm energy, respecting property and taking great care to give pets the attention they need in the absence of their owners. If you are interested in boarding with me: I currently provide a loving home to 2 cats and a dog. They are friendly, curious and well socialized with people and other animals. Dot, our boxer-collie, is especially good with dogs, cats and small children. For safety, we are able to easily separate pets either by partitioning/gating off rooms where they can maintain comfort, or utilizing the large dog crate in the front room where your pet will not be sequestered all by themselves, but still have a space they feel secure. I have no allergies, aversions, or phobias. I communicate well and will happily answer questions and provide references.

“Hannah did such a great job! She send me updates and pictures and followed all my instructions! Best sitter I had so far! I will book her again. :)”

“Danielle C was an outstanding pet and house sitter! I could not recommend her more. She communicated with me throughout her stay, sent amazing photos and clearly loved being with my dogs. I can’t wait to have her back :-)”

Liana D.

“Joel was an awesome sitter for our pup. He was quick to respond and went above and beyond. Our dog was happier when we returned than with any other rover we have used. Will re-book him in the future!”

Cameron S.

“This was the first time leaving my pup alone, but Cheryl eased my mind every step of the way. Not only were my babies clearly well cared for, but she left our apartment in better shape than we’d left it. Highly recommended!! She definitely went above and beyond!!”

Liz D.

“Melissa did an amazing job watching my dog and cat, she sent me lots of pictures and they were all of my pets comfortable and at ease with her. I found my home in better shape than I left it and my animals were obviously loved and well cared for. Will absolutely hire her again!”

Rachael W.

“Cody went above and beyond caring for my rabbit. She sent many pictures twice a day during the drop in visits and it helped me feel at ease while being away on a 10 day trip. I sent her long instructions and she followed them perfectly. There are not many sitters I have trusted with my pets, but she genuinely cares for animals and is 100% reliable, safe, and respectful.”

About: Animals have been part of my life since before I can remember — one of my earliest memories is our Bernese Mountain Dog happily dragging me down the block. I've kept animals close ever since, so I've got real, hands-on experience with pets at every life stage, from housebreaking a new puppy to helping an arthritic senior get comfortable on the stairs. Friends have been handing me their dogs for years too — weekend trips, last-minute favors — so caring for someone else's pet like my own isn't new territory for me. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and however we're spending time together, my goal is the same: keep your pet's routine as close to normal as possible. Animals feel safest when their world doesn't change while you're away — same walk times, same feeding schedule, same bedtime ritual — so I take the time to learn what "normal" looks like for yours specifically. These days I share my home with two rescue cats — Cucumber, an 8-lb grumpy old man who insists on being called "a good boy," and Daisy, his partner in running the household — and Jeffrey, a sweet Blue Heeler mix with plenty of opinions to bark about. Expect photo and video updates throughout our time together, plus extra playtime worked in whenever your pet's up for it. Every animal is different, and I take the time to read their cues and meet them where they're at. Some want a full-on wrestling match, others just want quiet company. There's no better feeling than when an animal decides you're good people. I work freelance, so my schedule stays pretty flexible — mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, whatever your pet needs. That flexibility means reliable, consistent care for daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight house sitting, whenever the timing works best for you. Most of my care happens in your home — dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting — so I start by learning your routines, entry points, and house rules. I stick to feeding and walk schedules exactly as given, double-check that doors and gates are secure every time I come and go, and stay alert for anything that could be a hazard.

“Fantastic! Will be robooking again! Highly recommend! She took the best care of our old man!!!!”

Jamie G.

“Ebony did such a great job with our dogs! She was super easy to communicate with, sent pictures of the pups multiple times a day, and followed all the instructions we left. Ebony also took great care of my less people friendly dog and ended up earning her trust by the end of her stay. We will definitely be booking Ebony again and we highly recommend that you book her as well!”

Kenzie C.

“We had a great experience with Stacy sitting our pup Archie in our house over the holiday! Stacy was super responsive and took the time to understand Archie's habits and routine in the house before booking. We loved getting frequent updates and pictures while we were away, we know Archie was getting lots of love and exercise, and we came home to a happy pup and a clean house!”

Belle I.

“Elise was an amazing sitter and house guest! She was communicative and made the first time having to leave my dog for the weekend stress free. My dog loved her.”

Caroline C.

“Katie took great care of my pup, and communicated perfectly.”

Jonathan S.

“Ian did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my dog and cat. He sent pics and updates everyday! It really put my mind at ease to have updates like that. I will definitely be rebooking him again!”

Meagan T.

“Emily was absolutely amazing! She arrived on time, sent photos, asked questions when she noticed Charlee wasn't going potty as usual and communicated consistently and with details! Having just moved to the area, I was nervous with a new sitter, but after this first experience with Emily, I will definitely choose her as my first choice for furbaby care, and hope that she is available! Thank you, Emily!! :))”

Lisa S.

“Elizabeth was great! We went to the beach for a couple of days and she stayed with our puppy. We were hesitant to leave our 3 month old and knew we didn't want to put her at a "pet hotel." We got texts and pictures every day and came home to a happy puppy!”

Jessica B.

“What amazed me about Ryan was how organized, knowledgeable and self-sufficient he was. He even took notes at the meet and greet! We quickly concluded that we and our pups were in very good hands!(”

Susan G.

“Karen was so great !! She has great communication and I could tell in the pictures she sent that my pups were loved . She truly allowed us to enjoy our trip .”

Cristina & Husny W.

“Deana saves the day again! She was so incredibly helpful and flexible when I had a last-minute change in travel plans. The most reliable, professional sitter we have ever had. Just the best, hands down. Thank you so much again Deana!”
