House Sitting in Cramer

About: My wife and I have loved animals our whole lives. As a kid, I was always bringing strays home or helping the neighbors take care of thier pets. My wife used to walk dogs for extra money as a kid and grew up in a household where her family fostered dogs. We both like to think we have a natural gift, especially with dogs. We firmly believe that dogs need stimulation and socialization, which s in part why we decided to join Rover. Our German Shepherd, Luna, LOVES other dogs and is always looking for a playdate. We take her to the dog park nearly daily and she also gets 2 healthy 1-1.5 hr walks a day, one around the neighborhood and 1 at one of the many walking trails in the area. We also have a fenced in yard. When you choose to leave your furbaby with us, you can be assured they will not be bored! We run our own business and make our own schedules which allows us to work our schedules around caring for animals. We also work as a team so no matter what, one of us is almost always available. We have a two family house that was converted into a single family. There are plenty of rooms with plenty of pet gates so if needed, our cats can escape to a dog free area and if for whatever reason, your dog wants to be alone, they can. We have a fenced in yard. We only use it for in between walk potty breaks or if the dogs get a little rambunctious, we will take them outside and throw the ball around or watch them chase each other. We do not leave them unattended.

“Carolyn S was very sweet! Sami loved her! It was nice to be able to get out for a night of fun! Thank you! Definitely will use Carolyn S again!”

“Joudi was truly a last minute godsend. Right before my wedding we got a horrifying diagnosis of CHF for our one cat. (we have four) With this new diagnosis and treatment regimen we desperately needed someone with the experience, skills and overall caring attitude that is Joudi. She was seriously amazing and allowed us the much needed peace of mind over our wedding weekend. I literally can't recommend her enough, our kitties miss her already! I could not have asked for a better first experience using Rover!”

“Stayed at my house with my two pups and did amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of and I couldn’t have been happier. She sent updates and pictures throughout the days as well :). Great sitter!”

About: I have taken care of my own dog for 10 years, giving me hands on experience with daily routines, behavior, and long term care. My friends, family, and neighbors all trust me with caring for their pets whether that be through walking, feeding, and overall care. I am reliable and attentive, making sure everyone feels safe. I am currently working a part time flexible job so it will be very easy for me to have an open schedule to care for peoples pets. I always make sure whatever pet I am around that they feel comfortable with me. I will carefully listen and understand a pets routine making sure their routine doesn’t get off track. Safety of the animal always comes first to me and making sure they feel comfortable in the situation they are in.

About: I’ve owned dogs almost my whole life. I’ve home trained my own dogs. I am in vet tech school and have taken care of my own dogs while sick. I am passionate about making sure every dog gets the attention and care they need. I work part time right now as a home aid with a flexible schedule so I can help fit your needs and your fur babies needs I have a very friendly dog to accompany your babies and have crates available if need be. I do not have a fenced in yard but do have lots of room for your dogs to get the exercise they need.

About: I grew up in East Texas with 3 Bengal tigers in my front yard and a minuture potbelly pig named Bubba in our home. I currently have a Exotic Micro Bully named Gucci who loves all other animals. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is Gucci and we would love to have your animal and promise to keep them safe. They will be walked and entertained. If your pet doesn't like other pets then we might not be the best fit. Gucci can handle just about anything but he is so socialized that I don't think he would defend himself even if he needed too. Please only other animals that are completely okay with other pets. We go to the Westmoreland County Dog Obodeience School once a week and will pass on all knowledge we learn to those that will let us teach them. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is non stop pet care. You will have no worries of your pet being left unattended. Gucci is never left alone and neither will your pet. Lots of walks and love! If you would like your pet crated for whatever reason please provide it. We are a crate free home. I live in an apartment but it's a big one and we take lots of walks.

About: I used to work at an animal rescue so I’ve dealt with all kinds of dogs! What I learned from working there is that every animal is special and deserves all the love in the world. I work part-time at an elementary school. I typically work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so my schedule any other day is wide open. I just need the client to put in the request a couple days in advance! I am a college student so I live in an apartment with three other girls. The apartment is pet friendly and we have dogs over all the time! There is no fenced in yard, but there is a beautiful, spacious yard behind the complex. As for a client’s home, I will care for the pet per the clients request!

About: I've watched neighbors animals before, feeding and walking dogs, have my own dogs and worked at the local humane society doing kennel care work. Cleaning, feeding and taking care of all the animals there. I work at giant eagle but can come before and after work if you're on a trip and do dog walking on my days off/evenings after work I have A fence for my dogs. Use a tie out for the one since she likes to try and escape. Always watch them in the yard and play with them so they aren't alone outside

“Ruxin is a 13 year old weimerener with loving energy. His disposition matched Natalie’s personality and there were no hesitations from either of them; they bonded immediately. Natalie is a natural. She is reliable, competent and confident. Your pet is in good hands with her. I cannot speak highly enough of Natalie’s communication and ongoing commitment to keep our loved one safe, happy and healthy while we were away. This was the peace of mind that made the trip so relaxing. Natalie can be trusted without doubt or hesitation. She is thorough and seeks clarification if she is unsure of something pertaining to the uniqueness of your pet-this is the assurance that I admire and respect most in her ability to provide exceptional care. I know that Ruxin enjoyed his stay-cation from us as much as we enjoyed our time away visiting family. This was evident through the photos that she shared throughout. In addition to the great care that she provided to Ruxin, Natalie took outstanding care of our home. Upon returning from our trip, we were very pleased to find our house spotless! Thank you Natalie for your ongoing dedication to the pets and their homes that you care for. Ruxin sends his ❤️”

“Laura did an AMAZING job taking care of my (multiple) pets while I was out of town for 5 days. It is clear that she is a true animal lover! She kept in touch with photos and updates throughout her stay at my home and went above and beyond in making sure they had plenty of attention and company while I was away. My dogs (and cats) loved having her around and they will be super excited to see her the next time I book her for sitting. 5 out of 5 stars!”

About: My mom runs a rescue, so I have taken care of countless animals while fostering them. I also have 7 cats and 5 dogs which brings a lot of experience. I am a college student athlete, so I am currently free most days of the week and weekends. Aside from doing my workouts, I love to get any extra exercise I can!! During the school year I will only be free during the weekends. I have large yard and path cut through my field for exercise. My dogs and cats are friendly to any other animal, but I am able to crate the pet if needed.

About: I’ve watched multiple of my family members dogs, ranging from big to little dogs. I enjoy spending time with animals and learning more about them. I also enjoy walking dogs around the neighborhood or to the park. I’m currently taking care of my grandma so I don’t really have a set schedule. So I’m always willing to help out. I have a dachshund and she is very nice towards animals and people so if I were to house sit she would also be very welcoming.

About: I’ve had many pets my entire life. I currently have four dogs, one border collie, one border collie mix, who was a foster fail two Chihuahuas that were both foster fails. I love my pets to death, and I would love to take care of your pets as well, I make my homemade dog food and homemade dog treats for my pets, I have a couple acres with a new large fenced in area. I take my dogs out every two- three hours to play and go potty. I would love to watch your babies while you are unavailable with lots of love and kisses. This is my only job, so I am always available to take care of your pets with lots of attention. I take the dogs out every two hours to go potty and play. Your dog can be crated if that’s what makes it feel comfortable or it can have free roam of the home all my dogs sleep in my bedroom

About: I have had dogs and cats ever since I was 4. However, at age 12 I got my first dog just for me. I took it very serious and have loved taking care of dogs and cats ever since. I have raised a few dogs and cats of my own since they were young, some since actual birth. I have also taken care of a family dog whom was blind and deaf due to being very old. I currently can’t welcome pets into my own home, but I love caring for dogs so I wanted to still find a way to care for them! On days like now when it’s cold and everyone is busy, I have no issue walking your dog and ensuring they still get the outside experience without you worrying about their safety. I am big on giving regular updates and treating every pet as if they are my own. I’m a part time college student! Pretty much free with all online classes. I occasionally go to the gym but besides that, I’m always home. Think of it like if I’m babysitting someone’s child. It pretty much is for many dog owners, I would know as my dog Nya was very much my daughter lol. But it’s very important that I ask all the necessary questions so I can care for your pet the same way you would. If you give them treated only during certain behavior than I will too. If you only walk them in certain areas then I will too. It’s important to not only make every pet feel safe and comfortable, but to create an experience that doesn’t feel to far from home. That way not only does the pet feel happy, but once they are back to their owner it feels like they never left.

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as I can, just comes second nature for me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having! I’m hoping to make Rover a full-time career! That’s how much I love animals! I’m very flexible with all your pet caring needs so if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know! Although I'm unable to watch your pups at my home, I'll make sure they're safe at yours! I make sure I understand the pups needs, routine, and any specific care instructions provided by you, the owner. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring their environment is safe and clean, exercising them, and administering medications or treatments if required.

About: I’ve had a handicapped dog my entire life growing up! I currently have a 1 year old Australian Shepherd mix and a 9 month old puppy who both mean the world to me! I love all dogs and have plenty experience with all breeds! I will provide safe and quality care to your fur babies as if they were my own! I am currently in Nursing School and graduate in December, I have a very versatile schedule as I have class only a few days a week and am able to be there to help after or before class! I have a large gated deck and yard with neighbors whose dogs are very friendly as well! I have a crate if needed and various space to play with the dogs as well!

“Jen was amazing, and it was such a pleasure to work with her! Her knowledge and experience with dogs, especially considering our high-maintenance Siberian Huskies, left us very confident that we could trust our babies with her while we were away for a week. We have four dogs—three young adult Siberian Huskies and an older mixed-breed. Our four dogs absolutely adored Jen. We've never seen them so attached to someone other than us. Jen communicated regularly and sent us pictures daily, and we could tell our dogs were being well cared for. She was respectful of our home and left it nice and tidy. She checked our mail, brought in our trash bin, and even let us know of a house issue that came up while she was sitting. I’m so happy we found Jen; she was the only reason we were able to enjoy our vacation stress-free without worrying about our dogs. If you’re looking for a professional, friendly, experienced sitter who will take excellent care of your pets, Jen is highly recommended. Thank you so much, Jen! We hope to work with you again!”

“Kaylee was fantastic and made going away a breeze! She was responsive, professional, and very competent. She gave us regular updates and pictures which was great. I 10/10 recommend her and will definitely go to her first when we need someone we can trust with our pups.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments for over 12 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or older, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need. My schedule is busiest Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, but I’m available the rest of the afternoon and evening for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. On Saturdays and Sundays, I have open availability and can provide flexible scheduling throughout the day. I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs and keep communication clear and reliable. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh water, feeding, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s personality and needs. I keep a clean, calm, and secure environment, closely supervise pets, and make safety my top priority at all times. I also provide updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
