House Sitting Southwold

“Sonja has watched our crew a number of time now but this time was the first time with our 4 month old puppy. There is no one I trust more than her to care for them the way we do. Always grateful for her!”

“Jayden watched and walked my dogs for me. He didn't miss a walk and was great with my dogs! Which is important! I would recommend Jayden to anyone! Thank you Jayden for your great work!”

“Lisa was incredible. She cared for my four dogs as if they were her own — attentive, warm, and genuinely invested in their well-being. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos throughout my trip, giving me complete peace of mind. Though walking them wasn’t expected, she went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and active. Lisa is truly reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy — I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back.”

“Second time using Walter and he was just as good as the first time! Very thankful we found a trustworthy person to watch our house and our pups while we’re away. :)”

“Wonderful companion for our Boys. Arrived promptly, and was patient with us when we were a bit later returning than planned. Great communication, and the dogs really like her. ????”

About: I’ve always had a dog in the family and now I own my own; Kai and Sadie! I also have my 2 cats Stan and Frankie! I am a teacher who is off weekends, holidays and the summer and looking for some furry friends to keep me busy for the summer! I am a teacher who is off for the summer! I am available almost all weekdays this summer and some weekends as well! Please reach out to discuss availability as I am very flexible and I am sure we could work something out :)! Since I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats of my own I am quite comfortable managing them in whichever way you need whether it’s crates, pet carriers, bathing, medicating etc!

“Fantastic experience! Our dogs were well cared for all weekend, and we appreciated the updates and photos. Reliable, kind, and easy to work with—would definitely book again.”

About: I have lived with a dog my whole life! For as long as I can remember my family, friends, and people in my community have asked me to take care of their pets and I am always happy to do so, whether they need me just to walk or feed their pet because they are running late or for a longer period of time. I am good with dogs of any age! I am currently a full time student in college, my weekends are always free. I do have class from 9:30-3:30 but I do have two 30 minute breaks throughout the day when I would be able to run back to the house and let the dog out When it comes to caring for a pet, I will do the obvious things like ensuring they are kept out of danger and safe, never outside without a leash unless of course in their own fenced in yard. Of course if the pet owner would like additional and specific precautions taken they can always inform me and I will follow it

“Alex was wonderful to work with - very professional, friendly, kept me updated throughout her stay, and took great care of my pups. I’ve already booked my next bookings with Alex.”

About: I bring over three years of hands-on experience working at an animal hospital, combined with volunteer work at therapeutic riding programs and other animal care organizations. This background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and compassionate handling. Whether it’s energetic walks or calm, cozy sitting sessions, I’m dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer up to two walks per day on weekdays—one in the morning before work and one in the evening after work—to keep your pup happy and active. On Saturdays, I’m available for one or two walks depending on my schedule, and on Sundays, I have full availability to provide multiple walks and extra attention. I’m committed to fitting quality exercise and care into your pet’s day, even with my busy schedule, so they feel loved and energized while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddles, I follow your specific instructions closely. I ensure a safe environment, lots of attention, and companionship so your pet feels loved and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide care that feels just like you never left. With sitting, we can discuss availability and flexibility to accommodate for your pet and family needs.

“Katherine is one of the best sitters I met! She left the place so clean and everything is organized for us! We came home with no worrisome! Definitely recommend her to be your sitter (As a joke— but Uhhhh NOOOO, because I don’t want you to take her from me)!!!!!”

About: I’m currently studying animal science and have hands-on experience caring for my own dog. I also volunteer as a veterinary assistant in clinics, where I’ve gained skills in animal handling, health monitoring, and basic care. Additionally, I spent time in Costa Rica working with animals, which helped me build confidence with different breeds and temperaments. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to keeping pets safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I’m a student with a flexible schedule. I plan my days around classes, which allows me to dedicate consistent time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m available mornings, evenings, and most weekends, and I always make sure pets get reliable attention and care. I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine when caring for pets in any home. I follow all instructions carefully, keep spaces clean and secure, and pay close attention to behavior and health. With my experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m confident handling pets calmly and recognizing any concerns early. I always aim to create a stress-free, loving environment.

About: For the past 6 years, I’ve raised a Labrador retriever since he was a puppy, cared for dogs as if they were my own. I truly believe pets are family, and they deserve to feel safe, loved, and understood — especially when their owners are away. I have experience with energetic puppies who need patience and gentle training guidance, as well as senior dogs who require a slower pace, extra comfort, and attentive care. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, and little quirks so they feel secure and happy in my care. My goal is simple: allow dogs to sniff & have fun during walks, tire them for good sleep & keep the tails wagging. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure dogs receive consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, and quiet rest periods. I enjoy starting and ending my day with walks and check-ins, so your dog gets steady care rather than rushed visits. Because I plan my week around the pets I’m caring for, I’m able to maintain their routines as closely as possible — feeding times, exercise, medication (if needed), and lots of affection. Caring for dogs isn’t something I “fit in” — it’s something I genuinely prioritize and enjoy. I have a fenced backyard & a very friendly Labrador Retriever dog ready to play & we provide a safe, calm, and structured environment in my home where dogs feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each dog’s regular routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walk times, play sessions, and rest periods — so they feel secure and settled. For boarding and daycare, I make sure dogs get a healthy balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and quiet time. I’m attentive to their body language and personality, whether they’re energetic and playful or need a slower, gentler pace. During walks, I focus on safety, leash manners, and giving them a positive, enjoyable experience. Most importantly, I treat every dog like family and provide regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and at ease.

About: I've been responsible for house sitting and various pet sitting/drop ins (dog, cats, lizards, fish, turtles, horses, birds) for friends and family since I was about 10 years old and have lived with and cared for indoor and outdoor pets both young and senior. Growing up, our family home also had various litters of kittens from wild cats to care for and find good homes for over the years as well. It would be my pleasure to care for your pet, including walks, feedings, grooming, play time, or keeping your pet company for a few hours so they don't get lonely while you're away! I work full-time and remotely from home, which allows me to have a fairly flexible schedule for 30 min drop ins or walks throughout the day (10-6pm) and can make arrangements for some same day requests as needed. Throughout the week (Mon- Fri), I'm also available most mornings before 9am and evenings after 6pm. On weekends (Sat/Sun), I can be available all day and do overnight sitting Friday and Saturday. Overnights and day care on weekdays can be arranged as needed. To do so, I may require a secure and reliable wifi connection. I have an SUV that can accommodate any size pet in case of an emergency. While the care plan will depend on you and your pets needs, I am happy to feed, groom, walk, play, or even just sit and talk with your pet. For dog walking, I will either stick to your regular routine as directed or mix it up based on how your pet feels / weather dictates. Any special instructions or considerations are always appreciated and welcomed!

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for most of my life and started taking full responsibility for my own pets as a teenager. As a teenager, I also worked at a dog kennel, gaining hands-on experience caring for dogs of different temperaments and needs. I’ve continued to care for my own dogs and cats as an adult, which has deepened my love, patience, and understanding of animals. I began professional pet sitting last year, gaining experience following routines, giving medication, and paying close attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Pet care fits comfortably into my daily and weekly routine, as I have flexible availability. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s needs . I can travel within Chatham and nearby towns. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or playtime. I pay close attention to behaviors, respecting when pets want cuddles, attention, or space. I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats throughout their lives, including helping with births, and have experience following directions for pets in others’ homes. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet.

About: Hello! My name is Mike and I've been fostering dogs since 2019. I've had approximately 18 come and go, only foster "failing" (foster dogs who I ended up keeping) with two who stayed and had the best golden years. I lost my most recent boy in August, a blind Bichon, just shy of his 12th birthday and after 3 great years. He was type-1 diabetic and blind, and after so much time as a foster getting his insulin regulated, he decided I was his forever family. He had a sister when I got him, a senior Yorkie with diabetes insipidus and a host of health issues. All that is to say I'm a professional at insulin, rigid medication schedules and diet maintenance. Presently I have no dogs of my own. When it comes to your dog, I'll keep your daily routine and walk schedules too, so your pups stay is as minimally disruptive to their normal routine as possible. I've fostered dogs of many breeds from Chihuahuas and a Rat Terrier to a Golden Retriever and Saint Bernard. I've had as many as 4 dogs at once so I'm open to having multiple pups at once. I'll never accept dogs from multiple families unless both families are booking together and the dogs are socialized with each other already. And I'll never cancel a confirmed stay for a more lucrative multi-dog request. I live alone in a detached house in Wallaceburg, and I work from home so your dog won't be left alone aside from short errands. I'm not big on crating dogs, leaving them free to be where they like while I'm gone. I have a den with glass door if you tell me they need smaller quarters, or you can bring your crate for me to use. I have a large fenced yard for playing fetch or dogs who need to run. This is a total dog house. I bought it due to its flat land and not having stairs, and I built a ramp down to the yard. I installed a dog door but it will stay blocked unless having access is suitable for your pups. Dogs are welcome on the couch and the bed, and will have free roam of the house (there's no basement, and garage isn't accessible). House sitting radius: the Rover app limits a 100km radius when setting the territory I can offer the services. I've got my radius set Eastward to circle Toronto, as I grew up there and love an opportunity to take gigs that get me into the city. Unfortunately I can't draw a circle that includes Windsor, but I'm happy to take gigs there too. If you're in London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Brantford, or the GTA, and you have a dog that can be left alone for 2-3hrs max, I may be willing to offer discounts on price so I can catch up with family and friends in those areas while I'm there. If you have any questions or you'd like to arrange a tour or meet and greet, don't hesitate to reach out. I work fulltime hours from home, typical office hours. I'm usually awake by 7am and bed by midnight. I don't have many friends in town so I'm home most of the time. My yard is fully fenced. I have a couple Tile tracking tags that I can attach to their collar if they're an escape artist (or you'd like to track your pups location remotely). Hazardous items like cleaning products are kept in cupboards or in my detached garage. My house is pretty dog proofed and I'm not concerned if your pup has an accident. That's what mops and upholstery cleaners are for. I think I've developed pretty good dog body language, and only correct misbehaviour by command and redirection. I'm a bit of a sucker that let's them get carried away when they're being silly, but particularly with bigger dogs I'll make sure their training is maintained (no jumping up to greet, making sure they don't assert dominance etc.)

“Juhi was so amazing!! Such a kind and whole hearted girl who I trust totally with our pupper! She’s always makes sure you’re kept in the loop with your fur baby with lots of texts and pictures/ videos! I recommend her to all my friends and family!”

About: ⸻ Hi there! I’m Jenn — a huge animal lover with over 25 years of experience caring for pets. I share my home with two Samoyed boys, Gomez and Tundra.

I’ve raised a litter of six Samoyed puppies with my daughter, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ll make sure your pets are fed just the way you request, and I’ll send photo and video updates so you can see how much fun they’re having while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family here — safe, happy, and loved. I can’t wait to meet them and become part of their story! 🐾 Everything in my day kind of revolves around my pets. From morning snuggles to evening walks, they’re part of the rhythm of my life. It’s not a chore — it’s something I love doing. “I care for every pet as if they were part of my family.

I want pets to feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible in their own environment!
