House Sitting in Commerce

“Grace is awesome! Took great care of Daisy on very short notice. Was professional and kept a good eye on Daisy and kept her active with lots of photos. Can’t recommend Grace highly enough!!”

“Judy provided great communication the entire trip and ensured my dog got the correct medications. She left the house clean and it gave me peace of mind knowing Judy was at home with my dog.”

Molly R.

“Highly recommend Brea. She took great care of our dog! Gave him lots of love and attention. Sent pictures and periodic updates even though we were only gone for one night.”

Megan S.

“Ashlee has stayed with my puppies before and is wonderful. Took out the trash and recycling bins even though I forget to ask her. She also washed her sheets and made the bed. Wow! And all that aside, she's great with my rather rambunctious puppies. She's definitely a sweetie and a keeper, as the pups love her, too.”

About: I have been an animal lover since a young age. I have a three year old puppy that loves other dogs. I have pet sat and boarded many dogs and they were nothing less than spoiled! I live on a lake so if your dog loves the water it will have the time of its life, if not, that’s okay too! I am very active so walks can happen frequently. If you are interested in boarding with me I require that your dog is house trained (exception for puppies because they are learning and I can work with that), good with dogs, and doesn’t mind kids nearby. I currently work at a daycare 3 days out of the week from 8AM-6PM with an hour long break that I will use to spend time with your pet! But, my weekends are completely open! In my clients home I would care for their pets the exact way that they do and how they instruct me to do so! :)

About: Hi! I’m Katherine — a professional pet sitter with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and small animals. Pet care is my full-time work, and your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priority. I’m known for being reliable, communicative, and calm, even with shy, senior, or medically complex pets. ⸻ 🐱 Cat Care I have decades of experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, including seniors and special-needs cats. I understand that many cats thrive on consistency and quiet routines, and I tailor each visit to their individual comfort level. I’m comfortable with: • Oral medications and pill administration • Eye drops and topical medications • Litter box care and monitoring output • Senior cat support and gentle handling • Multi-cat households • Shy or anxious cats who need patience and time I take care to follow your cat’s routine closely — including feeding preferences, hiding spots, play style, and comfort needs — so they can stay relaxed while you’re away. ⸻ 🐶 Dog Care I also provide attentive dog care with an emphasis on calm, structured visits. Experience includes: • Drop-in visits and potty breaks • Leash walking and basic training reinforcement • Puppies and senior dogs • Multiple-dog households ⸻ 🏥 Special Skills & Safety • Experience with senior pets and medical needs • Comfortable transporting pets to the vet in case of emergency • Familiar with pet CPR concepts and emergency response • Careful attention to dietary restrictions, allergies, and instructions • Detailed visit updates so you always know how your pet is doing ⸻ 🕒 Availability & Reliability • Flexible schedule with availability for daily drop-ins • Punctual, dependable, and consistent • Comfortable with short-notice requests when possible • Meet-and-greets always welcome I treat every home and pet with respect, and my goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away. ⸻ A Note About Boarding While I have a fenced yard and a friendly resident dog, I am not currently offering boarding. This may be an option in the future. I’m currently focused full-time on Rover, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling. I take recurring visits, vacation care, and most drop-in requests. Feel free to reach out so we can find a schedule that works well for you and your pets. In your home, I’m careful about: • Preventing door escapes by entering and exiting slowly and deliberately • Securing doors, gates, crates, and harnesses before and after walks • Following all household routines exactly as outlined • Keeping doors and spaces as I found them For cats specifically: • Extra care around entryways to prevent bolting • Checking closets, cabinets, and enclosed spaces before closing doors • Monitoring litter box habits and alerting owners if anything seems off • Keeping play areas free of potentially unsafe items For dogs: • Double-checking leashes, harnesses, and equipment (especially for escape artists) • Respecting boundaries such as baby gates or restricted areas • Ensuring a calm, controlled environment during visits and walks I keep detailed notes and send regular photo updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. I also take pride in leaving your home clean, secure, and just as you left it. Your pet’s safety — and your peace of mind — always come first.

“Mallory did a great job taking care of our dog. She also communicated with us the entire time.”

“We had a good experience with Lauren for overnight with our 2 dogs and 1 cat. I can only say I wish there were a few more updates throughout, but absolutely no issues. Thank you, Lauren”

About: I have been caring for cats and dogs ever since I was young. I have cared for animals of all ages young to senior. I have experience administering pills and I have helped follow suit of owners training while they are away. I currently do pet sitting full time, and it is the best job I could ask for! I love filling my days with overnights, dog walking, and drop in visits. Occasionally I will pick up some shifts at my friends dog grooming shop but more often than not, I am somewhere snuggling and giving attention to dogs and cats! I will be extra attentive and follow the same routine that they are used to. Walks, playing fetch, whatever the case may be I will do my best to make your animals feel comforted and cared for while you, the owner, is away. I will care for them as if they are my own.

“I will DEFINITELY use Josiah as often as possible! He followed all my instructions and my dog absolutely loved him. My beagle suffers from separation anxiety, and it's hard to find someone who not only compassionately understands his needs, but also with whom my dog feels comfortable and secure! When I arrived home, my dog was sleeping at Josiah's side. I think I finally found a perfect match!”

About: I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have an animal in my life. From shepherds to terriers, I have experience with large, medium, and small dogs. I also have experience caring for cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve trained my own dogs, cared for foster puppies, and have experience handling pets with different needs and temperaments. I’m very open to feedback, learn quickly, and always strive to provide the best care possible. When you book with me, you can expect meaningful, attentive, and reliable care for your pet. Your fur baby will have my full attention, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. Rain or shine, I will show up and give every pet the patience, attention, and care they deserve! Over the summer I am working fully from home. Which means I have an open schedule to care for your pets. I am open from morning to night. I can do daily visits, weekly visits, and more. When house sitting for your pets, I prioritize a respectful and responsible approach. I value clear boundaries in my own life, so I make it a point to treat your home and privacy with that same high level of integrity. I’m fully open to your specific rules and feedback, and I’ll keep you connected with consistent updates so you never have to wonder how things are going.

“Olivia is friendly, reliable and easy to communicate with. She always has your pet's best interest at heart. I will hire her again the next time I need someone to look after my pet.”

“Sarah took such amazing care of our dog, two cats, and home while we were out of town. She provided picture updates throughout the day. I didn’t have to worry at all about my babies while we were gone. Her communication was top notch. I will definitely use Sarah again!”

Sarah W.

“Samantha is amazing. Her communication is excellent and she sent us tons of pictures. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous but Samantha put our minds at ease. She is professional and friendly and came over before she watched our pups to introduce herself to us and our dogs. She was a perfect fit and plan on using Rover and Samantha again!”

Patricia C.

“Nik did an excellent job taking care of our very energetic golden while we were away on vacation. He sent tons of updates with photos about how his stay was going which really put us at ease! The house was clean when we came home (another huge bonus!) we would definitely book him again in the future.”

About: I am a dog lover and previous dog owner. I have experience walking dogs and playing with them. I also helped train one of my dogs to use the electric fence. I am a responsible young man who would love to take care of your dog, play with your dog, and walk your dog. I have most experience with small to medium dogs though my family did own a Neapolitan mastiff when I was young so I do feel comfortable with large and giant breeds. I don't have much experience but if you give me the opportunity I won't disappoint you. I am available any day of the week except Sunday. I have the flexibility to work around most schedules. I'd love to meet your pet and set up a schedule now!

“Jen was a dream to work with. Good communication and feedback while I was away, my pup was very happy while I was gone.”

Bree S.

“Jennifer was great with Kona. We were first time Rover users with a dog that we were slightly nervous of leaving with someone new and she was absolutely fantastic. From the first meeting, she made us feel comfortable and confident in choosing her. She was kind, responsive, and professional. Throughout her stay we remained updated with pictures and came home to a clean house and happy dog. She will be highly recommended by us to all moving forward!”

About: I have owned dogs my whole life and have lots of experience of how to care for dogs, little or big! I would love to come help care for your dog! I definitely have time to come hangout with your dogs and give them as much activity as needed in the morning and in the afternoon for however long! I have a caged in area for all the dogs in my neighborhood and never let a dog out of my sight. I avoid other dogs no matter what the dogs behavior may look like just be cautious.

“Lyle did an awesome job with watching our two furbabies in our home for two weeks! He kept them on their routine and most importantly gave their meds on time. The latter is extremely important since one of our babies has seizures. We were so worried to leave since the last Rover experience didn't go so well and so we came home early. Thankfully all went great with Lyle. He gave daily updates and was very transparent. Will definitely use him again!!!”
