House Sitting Cookstown

“Thank you Amber for taking care of my yam! Amber was communicative and sent pictures while we were away. In addition, she kept an extra close eye on his allergies and made sure he was comfortable and gave medicine whenever needed. Amber also made sure the house was clean and in order when we arrived back home.”

About: Over the past few years I have been caring for family and friends pets while they are away. I have just fell in love with all the dogs I have meet along the way. I also have spent time walking at a local rescue which has just taught me so much about dogs and how to be around them and work with them on and off the leash. I continue to grow and learn something new from each dog I work with. It’s a great pleasure of mine. I’m a stay at home mom with both my boys off at school during the day so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. I offer drop in visit, dog walking and even over night visits in your home. I will care for your pets like I would care for my own. I will give them lots of love and affection with safety being number 1. I am very careful to follow all the owners need and wants when caring for their pets. I love sharing updates and picture with the owners on my visits. I take pride in my work and make sure I am on time for every job. I am careful to lock up behind me and make sure the pets are secure before leaving them. I am very respectful of people’s home and property as well.

About: I’ve pet sit many different dogs since I was 12 and even got my first job working in a animal hospital. I learned how to administer insulin to cats, give animals eye drops, clean kennels properly, and give dogs and cats oral medication. I have grown up around dogs and various animals my entire life and love animals. I can’t imagine my life without a furry friend. I work Monday-Thursday 9-5 but can take walks during my lunch break and before and after work. On weekends I am completely available to be with your dog as much as possible. I care thoroughly for all pets. I will make sure pets get fed at the appropriate time and all their needs are met. I care for pets individual needs and want the best for their well-being. If there is ever an emergency I will make sure to let the owners know promptly.

“She was very kind and professional. My doggie loves her.”

“We had a great visit drop-in visit with Karren. She was available within 24 hours of me reaching out to do a meet + greet and also come by later in the day to meet our dog, Walter, feed him/walk him/play with him. She left our home tidy and sent cute pics of Walter. We look forward to working with Karren again!”

About: I have great knowledge and experience of dogs of all breeds and sizes, and have house sat and walked dogs through rover since I was a kid with my mom. I am experienced in training, introducing, and watching dogs as I have fully trained a male lab puppy, an African mastiff, my personal dog, and a therapy dog! I am currently taking full time college classes online, with two in person weekly. I also work marketing remotely so I have a lot of flexibility as I get to create my own schedule. I also am very fit and like to walk/hike daily finding new trails for me and the pups! I do hourly walks depending on the dog, as well as parks/hikes to make sure they fullfill their energy needs. I also ensure they are let out to use the bathroom on a consistent schedule as well as food and water. I myself have some energy so I do like to run around the backyard and/or play with them lots! If training is requested that is also done on a consistent strict schedule.

“We have two large, anxious dogs and finding a sitter we trust can be difficult. Greg is a total exception. Communication was consistent and reassuring, updates and photos throughout without us even having to ask. Greg genuinely knew how to handle big, nervous breeds. Calm, patient, no rushing, our dogs were relaxed by the end of the stay and it put our minds at ease.”

Dasha M.

“Kimberly was incredibly patient, caring, and helpful while working through our cat’s anxiety and stress around taking medication. Kimberly took the time to understand our cat’s needs, stayed calm and was reassuring. We truly appreciated their compassion, dedication, and willingness to work with our cat rather than simply giving up when things were difficult. We would absolutely recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable pet sitter!”

Rebecca U.

“Ashiera was amazing! She sent pictures and updates everyday. Honey Mochi is very shy but Ashiera was patient with her and got her to warm up eventually. I will definitely be working with Ashiera again!”

About: I’ve always been very comfortable around animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I previously worked as a pet sitter caring for a home with 7 cats and understand how important routine, cleanliness, patience, and attention are for pets while their owners are away. I also volunteer with Catsbury Park cat rescue and currently care for 6 cats of my own, so I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I already care for multiple cats of my own every day. I’m currently available Wednesday evenings, Thursdays, and Fridays for drop-in visits and pet sitting. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets are fed, comfortable, and given attention while their owners are away. I always prioritize creating a calm, safe, and clean environment for every pet I care for. I understand how important routines are for animals, especially cats, and I carefully follow feeding instructions, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and any special care requests. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and focus on making pets feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: DONT EXCEPT UN NEUTERED DOGS. Been around dogs my whole life family and friends always ask me to watch their dogs and I trained my own dog’s by my self Going full time on Rover to build my clientele will soon be in a program that will teach me dog training from top to bottom to get certified and cpr certified I have two dogs of my own both friendly towards other dogs live in a town house with my mom and two brothers don’t really have a backyard but enough space for my own dogs to go to the bathroom back there walk them everyday

“I had to take a quick trip out of town on business so I left my four month old Great Dane puppy with Ginny and Mary. They had previously done a couple of drop in visits with her. I left A LOT of instructions, but they did everything that I asked, including getting up at 2 AM to take her out to the bathroom. When she developed a tummy issue the communication was fantastic. When I got home, my Zoey couldn’t decide who she liked better, me, or Ginny! I’m very grateful for the care they gave her.”

About: I’ve been taking care of my own pup for over 6 years! I’ve got familiarity with crate-training and teaching them new tricks. For chill dogs, I’m more than happy just hanging out on a couch watching tv together. And for more active pups, I love to long distance run and am very comfortable jogging with dogs up to 70 lbs. I currently work remotely 3-4 days a week, and with a pretty flexible schedule. Barring the occasional mandatory meeting, I work my own hours so there’s plenty of time to spend with your pup. Hi, I'm Karan! When I lived in Jersey City, my brother, his wife, and I shared a dog named Luna. We raised her together for a little under 7 years, and got her when she was 9 months old. She was part of my everyday life: morning walks, couch time, and teaching her new tricks! When I moved out, we decided she'd stay with my brother. She bonded with him, and he was moving into a new home with his wife and soon-to-be son. It was the right call, but I really miss having a furry friend around. My schedule doesn't allow for a dog of my own right now, and that's a big part of why I'm on Rover! Rover lets me give our furry friends the love and care they deserve while you're away, and it keeps animals in my life. I'll treat your dog the way I'd want someone to treat Luna! With patience, affection, and lots of head scratches. For boarding: Your pup will have plenty of room to stretch out at my place. I live in a spacious four-bedroom apartment with a balcony, and there's a dog park and lots of grass right outside, so potty breaks and playtime are only steps away. For longer walks, there's a much bigger park a few miles away that's great for exploring. For house-sitting: I work remotely most days, and I'm happy to work from your home if you'd like. I'll follow their usual feeding and walk schedule, and give you regular updates on their mood, how walks went, and all other info you’d like!

About: Though I'm relatively new to the *professional* pet care world, I've pet- and house-sat countless times for friends and family. From dogs and cats to lizards and rats, I've taken care of most types of pets, and love learning about animals of all sorts. I'll put in the time to learn your specific pets' needs and wants to ensure they get the best care possible. I've worked with children with special needs, people with dementia, and early-morning commuters, so I've got more than enough patience to help even the grumpiest of cats take their medicine, get their exercise, whatever they need to stay happy and healthy while you're away. I'm a self-employed artist, so my work comes with me wherever I go in the form of a sketchbook, pen case, phone, and planner. Taking care of your furry (or scaly, or feathered!) family fits right in to my workflow. I have my own pets at home, a ferret named Onion and a tabby named Bean. I've traveled long distances with both of them, so I am well trained at keeping an eye out for health and safety in stressful times. Don't worry though, they'll be staying put, cozy at home with my partner for the foreseeable future.

About: Hi! I’m Alexandra, a lifelong animal lover and sitter of dogs🐾 I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pets, so I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and love I would want someone to give my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines—from playful puppies who need lots of attention and potty breaks to adult dogs who are happiest going for a walk and curling up on the couch afterward. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow your normal feeding schedule, walking routine, training cues, crate routine, medication instructions, or any other preferences that help your pet feel comfortable and secure. I work remotely, so your dog will always have a companion home with them to make sure they are getting all the love and attention they need. I’ve always been the go-to person for my family and friends when they need someone they trust to care for their pets, but my experience goes beyond pet sitting. When I lived in Austin, Texas, I spent about a year fostering dogs and puppies, which gave me hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. That’s actually how I ended up with my dog Cosmo—I was a proud “foster fail” and couldn’t bring myself to let him go! If I had the space, I probably would have adopted every foster dog and cat that came through my home. These days, pet sitting gives me the perfect excuse to spend time with more animals without constantly bringing another one home. 😂 I genuinely love caring for pets and treat every animal like they’re one of my own. As a pet parent myself, I also know how stressful it can be leaving your dog with someone new. I’m very communicative and will happily send plenty of photos, videos, and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. 📸💕 Outside of pet sitting, I work professionally as a program and events coordinator, so being organized, dependable, communicative, and attentive to details is a huge part of my everyday life. In my free time, I love spending time with my dogs, baking, doing crafts and nails, traveling, building LEGO sets, and relaxing at home. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and completely spoiled. 🐶💗 I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine since I have two dogs of my own. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, training, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m also very much a homebody, so when I’m not working or running an occasional errand, I’m usually at home with my pets. Adding another furry guest into my routine comes very naturally to me, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule around their normal routine so they feel as comfortable and at home as possible. 🐾💕 I always try to keep each pet’s routine as close to normal as possible, whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, crate routines, playtime, and any other special needs or preferences. I know every pet has their own personality, so I adjust my care depending on whether they love constant attention and cuddles or prefer a little more space and independence. When pets stay in my home, safety is my biggest priority. I have dogs of my own, but I always keep my pets separated from my guests’ pets rather than assuming unfamiliar animals will get along. This allows every pet to have their own comfortable, safe space and gives owners peace of mind. My apartment complex also has a dog park, so if you are comfortable with your dog using it, I’m happy to take them there for some extra exercise and playtime. If dog parks aren’t your preference, that’s completely fine too! I’m more than happy to take them on long walks and strolls around my complex or visit nearby parks instead. I’ll always follow whatever you feel is safest and most appropriate for your dog. I’m very attentive and spend plenty of time checking in, playing, walking, cuddling, and making sure pets are comfortable throughout their stay. I also send regular photos and updates because I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy and doing well while you’re away. 🐾💕

“Deanna was a wonderful sitter for our dusty in our home. We really couldn’t have asked for more. Our dusty was clearly looking for Diana for a few days after we returned home. We will be booking her again multiple times in the future. Thank you so much Deanna for a great job.”
