House Sitting in Cozy Corner

“What we most loved about Hailey was how quickly our animals took to her — our dogs were leaning against her within minutes, and even the cats who hide came out and let her pet them the very first night! It was comforting to leave our pets in the care of someone who clearly loves and understands animals. And though we ended up rushed and didn't have as much time as I wanted to orient her, she perfectly remembered and followed all instructions. We've already booked her again.”

“Whitney stayed with our two dogs and guinea pigs for a week and did such a great job! We really appreciate her clear communication and attention to detail, and our dogs were in great shape when we returned. We would happily recommend Whitney and will book her again in the future!!”

“Will was excellent! I felt very comfortable having him at my home taking care of my dogs. He was super kind to my near 15 year old husky with some old doggie special needs. I will be sure to rebook if he’s available, thank you!!!”

“Marrissa did an amazing job! She was communicative, professional, and treated our home with the utmost respect. We left our fur children in her care and received many pictures, updates, and thoughtful questions. Marissa continued to keep an open line of communication throughout us being away from our home, and we will absolutely be reaching out to her again for pet sitting!”

“Jessie is an awesome Rover! Our critters seem to have really taken to Jessie. We get morning updates and trust Jessie in our home. Thank you again Jessie and looking forward to booking you again!”

Sarah M.

“Nicole took amazing care of our dog and cat while we were away! We would love to work with her again and would definitely recommend her for house sitting!”

Rachel S.

“I am so grateful for the care provided for our cats! It felt clear that she understood how to meet and make each cat comfortable! I believe our cats felt supported and safe because August did everything to keep the cats routines. We feel so grateful and will book again!”

India S.

“Bev was fantastic. She stayed three nights with our cat. She had great communication and sent us photos of our cat each day. She left the house spotless. Bev was great, we will definitely rebook with her!”

About: I’ve had a dog in my household my entire life. I worked on a farm for two summers so I have a lot of experience with animal care. I’ve been a pet sitter in some capacity for roughly 8 years and I have experience with puppies, dogs of all ages, and dogs with anxiety and trauma issues. During high school I regularly took care of two dogs with anxiety and high energy. I did my senior year thesis project in high school on dog behavior, training and reactivity. As part of my project I got my dog and cat first aid certification from the Red Cross, which has since lapsed while I was getting my EMT license. Also as well as working for Rover for a couple summers, after high school I worked at a dog kennel for close to a year which saw up to about 40 dogs a day. Now I’m in college and looking to spend some time with dogs since we don’t have one of our own. I’ll take excellent care of your furry family members if given the opportunity! I work 3 days a week but am out of school for the summer so I have plenty of other time for walks and drop ins! As of right now I don’t offer any service in my home. For my other services, in Burlington we live in close proximity to a lot of little walks and hikes that I would love to take your pups on! Or just a little walk around the block if that’s what your pup prefers. For drop ins I follow any instructions clients leave for me, and do my best to make the pup feel cared for and loved!

“Hans did a fantastic job taking care of my elderly Shih tzu, needing two different eye drops twice a day. He also tried to make tempting meals for her when her appetite was low. He sent me great pictures almost every day which set my mind at ease. I could not recommend anyone more highly than Hans.”

About: I’ve had dogs that both lived over 15 healthy years plus sitting .I’m dependable, cautious about their safety and respond quickly. I’m respectful and flexible. I work part time as a caregiver and have a flexible schedule. I’m reliable, mature and will be attentive. As well as reachable when needed. I’m careful about your pets safety as well as a feeding schedule. I’m cautious regarding heat and ice and keep their environment clean and tidy.

“Zander was amazing with our two pugs. He was kind, positive, and flexible with our schedule. Daily pictures were reassuring that everything was going well. The pugs loved their daily walks and snuggles. I could tell they were very happy with Zander.”

Kylie S.

“Kate was amazing! Her communication and attention were invaluable. Atlas had such a good weekend and we could be away with the assurance that he was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

Lisa K.

“Sydney was great - very responsive and kind. She took care of my dog and my two cats. Looking forward to having her watch my animals again soon!”

Ali S.

“Anna was terrific. She spent quality time with our pets, cared for our house, sent pics and updates and was very flexible to meet our needs. I'd recommend her and will use her again.”

Leslie J.

“This was our first time using Rover and working with Mallory— we had a really positive experience, Mallory was enthusiastic to engage with our energetic pup, match her energy, and give her so much love and attention while we were away. Mallory also sent us updates so we could know how our dog was doing, and was very communicative. We will definitely have Mallory pet sit again when we travel!”

About: Everyone around me knows how much I love pets. I have helped dog sitting my boss’s dog, and as a first timer, I know I did great! I’m working a full time job, I’m ready for anything after working hours and weekends. For occasional home visits, I can make some exceptions depending on my schedule. I myself have a cat, and I haven’t been able to assess how she would react with other pets so I’m holding off on bringing other pets at my place for now. Otherwise, for the clients, I make sure I observe all safety measures and that I’m giving them all the love.

“Vi was wonderful to accommodate our last minute booking request. They came on time and were thoughtful and accommodating to our pets idiosyncrasies and needs. They were appropriately communicative. I would definitely book with Vi again.”

“Starr did a wonderful job during our first evening away from our puppy, June. June immediately fell in love with her and she was well taken care of during her time with Starr in our home. We highly recommend Starr!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter who works from home, which means I have the flexibility and time to give your pup plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’ve grown up with dogs and have years of experience walking, house sitting, and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I love spending time outdoors, whether it’s a short midday walk, a quiet trip to the dog park, or a longer run or hike after work. I’d be thrilled to bring your pup along for the adventure! I’ve regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs, including overnight stays at their home, boarding dogs at my home, providing daily walks, and playtime at parks to help them socialize and stay active. I work from home, so I am happy to provide daily walking needs, drop bys to homes to check in pups, house sitting/dog sitting on the weekends, or boarding your pup in my home any day of the week. I can have pets hang out in my townhouse, but will frequently take them outside and ensure that we visit the local (quiet) dog park once a day if I'm doing boarding events! I’d take the dogs for walks around our neighborhood, on hikes outdoors, or even swimming in the lake (if cyanobacteria are not present), provide enrichment, and of course, lots of love and affection. Most importantly, I'd be sure to match your dog's routine as much as possible, and try to make their time away from their family as comfortable as possible.
