Top rated Charles House house sitters
“Alyssa was amazing! Otis can be a very picky, very eccentric dog; but he seemed perfectly comfortable with Alyssa and even asked for a snuggle in the morning. If he could talk, he’d probably rate her a 10/10. We would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone with a more timid or anxious dog looking for an alternative to boarding, as well as anyone else!”

“Lavinia was amazing! She kept us updated throughout the day and sent pics along the way. If she had any questions she did not hesitate to reach out. She was flexible with our travel plans - we extended our stay by an additional day and she was able to accommodate! She even left the most adorable sketch of our fur babies - it is getting framed and hung on the wall! If my dogs could talk I think they would say they loved being with her!!”

“Emily has taken care of my baby 🐕 twice now, and does a great job! My dog seems comfortable with her and is happy and tired when I come home 🥰. Emily is also very thoughtful and leaves everything clean.”

“I felt very secure in leaving my dog with Ona as my first big trip away from her for 2 weeks! Ona was communicative, caring and flexible to meet everything I was needing while away. I returned to a very happy dog! Highly recommend her services!”

“Megan was incredible in every aspect of taking care of our 1-year old mini schnauzer, Tater Tot. She was so communicative and responsible in every way. She sent so many pictures and videos — it put us at ease! Her dog Murphy was the perfect companion for Tater, so well behaved and played super well with him. They ended up being such great buddies! Could not recommend Megan enough!”

“Excellent sitter . Very good with updates and pictures during the sitting . I was very impressed with the attention given and the observations about the dogs needs as the sitting went on . Highly recommend .”


“Rene was great. She did everything asked of her. The best thing is that she spent most of her time at my home with the dogs! Most sitters only had a few hours they could be available through the day, and then would just sleep here. Rene dedicated her time to being here with my fur babies, which was the most important thing for me”

“Nikole did a great job with our pet, sent us daily pictures and was timely with her arrival and departure. What stood out most to me were the questions she asked during our meet and greet. For example, she asked if there was anything we were working on, such as jumping or barking, so she could be sure to help reinforce our training.”

“Sarah is amazing with our dog, Stevie! She has sat for Stevie in her home and ours, and we are always so happy to know Stevie is being well-cared for and having a great time. Sarah is very communicative and always sends pictures! Highly recommend!”

“Katherine was excellent, truly. It was my dog's first time with a sitter and Katherine was incredibly patient and kind. As hard as it was for me to be away for the first time, I felt safe and secure knowing that my baby was with Katherine. The house was cleaner than I left it, and I cannot recommend Katherine strongly enough! As a housesitter, animal watcher (1 puppy and 3 cats) and all around human being you can't go wrong booking with her.”

“Ricky "petsat" our elderly dog and 2 cats in our home for 4 nights and they were well taken care of. Our dog requires multiple medications and Ricky was comfortable with administering. He didn't balk at cleaning up little cat puke! He is quick with communicating and sent us photo updates. I felt comfortable that our fur babies were being well cared for. Thank you Ricky.”

About: I’ve taken care of some of my family and friends pets for about a year now. I really enjoy taking care of them, playing with them and taking them on a walks. I’m a student at St John Fisher, I also play football, most of my football stuff will be in the early mornings. So I just need to be able to work around that and my class schedule I will show up to the house and take care of the pets and anything that needs to be done with them, I am open to exploring options
“Annaliese was the right sitter & my dogs instantly felt comfortable upon meeting her. I received several updates with photos as to how the dogs were doing, she stuck to schedule & instructions I left, and she has positive Energy.”

“Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!”

“Linden has been amazing with our German Shepherd! He is very flexible and knowledgeable as it was my first time using Rover and made the experience easier to understand. Lol. I will definitely be using him again! Thanks Linden!!”

“Cassidy was amazing! Our dogs loved her and she really took her time to get to know them and their routines. She was very respectful of our home and gave our dogs all the love and attention while we were away. We have already booked her again for future trips.”

“Mackenzie was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of our dogs and sent pictures and videos the whole week. Our dogs were so peaceful when we returned. We will definitely use her services again. She is an absolute sweetheart!”
“Anika came to dog sit our two dogs (one adult and one puppy). She was so lovely and sweet - our dogs loved her. She was on time and provided photos throughout the day. We are very grateful to have found a trustworthy sitter!”
“We can’t recommend Tracy highly enough. She was lovely from the minute we met her, kind and attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. Our younger dog is still in her demon puppy phase, so Tracy had to put up with her being rambunctious at all hours. But she didn’t complain, she just let us know what was going on, and all was well. She was communicative, and we came home to a clean house and happy pups. We would hire Tracy again in a heartbeat!”
