House Sitting in Duplain

“Absolutely phenomenal sitter and we will 100% ask her to look after our kitty again. She loved her just as much as we do and we can’t be more thankful. She was a great houseguest and she was a great sitter.”

Drew Z.

“Best dog friend we have ever found. Extremely attentive, stayed with the dogs the entire time and sent lots of pictures and updates. Elizabeth made sure our thunderstorm-shy puppy had his meds well in advance of the storm and even let one of the puppies sleep on the bed with her (turns out he does not share the bed well). We cannot recommend Elizabeth highly enough and will always check with her first when we go out of town!”

Patsy B.

“Greatly appreciate Sawyer watching our golden retriever… she is well taken care of (sometimes we think she doesn’t even miss us!). Sawyer is dependable and flexible—adjusting on the fly when plans change. Thank you Sawyer!!”

Lea C.

“Cindy was fantastic! She went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby felt comfortable while we were away. She was professional, punctual and made us feel 100% at ease while we were away. Highly recommended ❤️”

Christina S.

“Gru and I love Paige! She was able to stay and look after my giant puppy right after the holidays. She was so kind, a great communicator, and made sure to send pictures. I knew he was in great hands! Thank you, Paige.”

Kailin G.

“Abby was amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family or a close friend. Abby made us feel at ease, comfortable, and worry free on our wedding weekend! Abby has a great personality, attentive, and communicated with us. Gracie was looking through the house for her after we left so we know she loved her as well! We definitely plan on using Abby again. Highly recommend!”

Andrea K.

“Shirley was very professional. She set up a meeting in advance to meet with our puppy, Henry, and she then was there when we needed her. She took very good care of Henry and sent us pictures while we were gone. We will definitely have Shirley again when we need a sitter for Henry.”

Marci D.

“So many good things to say! We have two dogs and have had Ashley dog sit and do daily visits. She has done great at both and we will continue to use her. She kept us up to date while we were away and took good care of our guys.”

Amy G.

“Absolutely phenomenal, did great with both of the pups, and even the cat who sometimes doesn’t like people. Numerous photos throughout her stay and always keeping us informed throughout the day. Very highly recommend and will be booking again.”

Nathan H.

“Lauren was a pleasure to deal with and fulfilled all of our requests. We are very happy with the experience and would recommend her for your dog-sitting needs.”

About: I treat every pet and home with the same care and attention I’d give my own. What sets me apart is my intentionality — I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routines, and needs, whether it’s a high-energy dog, a shy cat, or a senior pet that requires a calm companion. I’ve provided care during holidays, followed detailed medication schedules, and even kept houseplants thriving while clients were away. I’m communicative, clean, and genuinely enjoy creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their people. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine — I genuinely enjoy it and plan my days around giving pets the attention they need. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feeding routines, I stay flexible and dependable. I also build in time for play, snuggles, and cleanup to make sure every visit feels intentional and relaxed. I treat pet care as more than just a task — it’s a rhythm I enjoy and a responsibility I take seriously. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect and create a calm, familiar environment for the pets. I follow all instructions carefully — from feeding routines to preferred walking routes — and make sure pets feel safe, seen, and relaxed. I lock up securely, stay aware of my surroundings on walks, and provide detailed updates so clients always know how things are progressing. My goal is to maintain a peaceful, clean, and trustworthy atmosphere — one that is both for the pets and their owners.

About: For years I dogsat for my aunt's tennis-ball-loving Labrador retriever and affectionate flat-coated retriever, my friend's dutiful old English sheepdog and mischievous Polish lowland sheepdog, and my friend-of-a-friend's terrier. Now I've moved to an area where I know much fewer people, so I'm getting on Rover to expand my reach and start spending time with dogs again. On most days I have lots of excess energy, and I find it hard to say no when a dog wants to play, so you can expect your dog to have some entertainment when I watch him. (If for whatever reason your dog is restricted from exercise I can handle that too, though I always find it sad to see.) I also enjoy giving rubs, and people are always impressed at how much face-licking I can stand. I've had to deal with my share of unusual incidents during dogwalking (including once having to lift a strange dog up by the scruff of his neck because he was attacking the dogs I was walking), so I feel ready for just about everything in that regard. I am presently working a full-time temporary job that is expected to end in early August 2025. During this time I will only be available for pet care from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. on weekdays, while on weekends I am typically available all day. I like to spend frequent outdoors time while dogsitting, both walks and yard play. I am comfortable with sleeping in the same bed as your dogs if this is desired.

“If you’re looking for a GREAT pet sitter, book Michelle. She was prompt, a good communicator and took very good care of my two babies. I definitely plan to book with her again.”

Jody Y.

“Kelsey was wonderful with our pets. Followed our instructions to a T, and we came home after the holidays to happy pets! Would definitely use again!”

John M.

“I booked Nichole on 8-12-23 to watch my dog Keno overnight in my home. Nichole was very respectful of the house/property and followed my instructions. My dog was well taken care of and I was glad she was able to stay in the home and not at a kennel. I would most definitely hire Nichole again.”

About: I have taken care of many pets over the years from dogs, cats, rabbits and to even birds too, as well as caring for their baby versions too. Including recent experience in helping with a whelping of a litter of Doberman pups. I love going on walking and love it even more having a furry companion tagging along with me, I walk them rain or shine. I'm currently available to fit in pet care into my schedule as it arrives. I am open to everything but boarding right now,so house sitting, drop-in visits, doggy day care, and walks only at this time. My availability is currently open from weekdays to weekends being mornings or evenings. I care for pets as owners request, changes will be made only when pets behavior requires it. I live in an pet friendly apartment complex where your pet will be allowed to roam inside my home and have toys to chew and play with. They will have plenty of exercise according to the amount of time they are left in my care. I also like to send updates to pet owners being pictures and texts of their pet during their time my care.

“Olivia and Bri were both AMAZING. We had to leave suddenly for 11 days for a family emergency. Our two dogs, Frankie and Shadow, needed someone to take care of them and treat them as well as we do. These ladies were so great with our doggies and took very good care of our home while we were away. They gave us updates and pictures so we could see them when we were missing them. They followed all our directions for care and for our home perfectly. We will definitely be using them again in the future. Our sweet dogs were super happy and relaxed when we returned and we are so grateful for Olivia and Bri.”

Tiana C.

“Christine is kind and professional, and treated us and our fur baby like family!”

Morgan C.

“First time leaving our dog and Megan did a great job staying with him. Was very prompt when we sent her messages and was always there when asked her to come over prior to us leaving. Rocky was well taken care of and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you Megan!!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience and deep, personal connection with dogs of all ages. With over three years of experience, I’ve been trusted by clients and family alike to care for their pets—whether it’s energetic puppies needing structure and training, or senior dogs who require patience and gentle attention. I’ve trained my own dogs from puppyhood, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and care. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Whether it’s feeding, walking, cleaning, or just spending quality time with animals, I make space for it consistently. I’m already used to structuring my days around the needs of pets, from early morning potty breaks to evening playtime or check-ins. Being flexible and dependable allows me to give each pet the attention they deserve, and I take pride in making their care a regular, reliable part of my week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with a consistent routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest—just like I do for my own pets. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their routines and preferences, making sure their pets stay comfortable with minimal disruption. I follow all instructions carefully, keep the space clean (including litter boxes, food areas, and floors), and always make sure pets feel loved, secure, and well-cared-for while you’re away.
