House Sitting Elmwood

“Caris thank you again! Our dog Chance was perfect and seems so happy upon our return from being with Caris. She did such an amazing job. She sent pictures and daily updates making me feel so at ease and worry free knowing my baby was in great care. We would absolutely love to use her again in the future! She is by far exactly what we were looking for and Chance seemed to absolutely adored her! 💗”

“10/10 recommend Sky. She was available on short notice and was available for a meet and greet the next day. My pup took to her immediately! Sky was prompt in arrival and departure. She sent me regular updates and my home was very tidy upon return. If Sky had any care questions, she sent them my way. Your pup or cat will certainly be adored if they have Sky caring for them!”

“Courteney This was our first time having Courteney dog sit our pups. After reading several of her reviews which were excellent we hired her to stay at our home for five days. We have a senior pup plus an active 6 year old. She was on time, communicated and daily updates with tons of pics of our fur babies. My pups fell in love with her and she was in tune to all their needs. We are thrilled and will definitely hire her again and again.”

“Ashley was professional, timely, and made sure to update me about my cats while I was out of state. I also have carnivorous plants which need some special care and they were cared for well! I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing my animals were cared for. Thank you!”

About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.

About: I’ve owned dogs for the past 10 years. I helped raise my family’s dog and then got a puppy of my own at the end of 2023! I’m a very active person and love walking, so I am looking forward to exploring new places with new companions :) My schedule during the day is very open right now, looking to fill it with lots of walks and games of fetch! My weekends and evenings tend to be a bit busier, but I can accommodate special requests if you let me know in advance! I’m happy to provide what ever care your dog needs in your home! Whether that is walks or simple play and pet time, I’m happy to be there.

“Stella was amazing! She watched Franklin overnight and did such a great job keeping me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. That meant so much to me especially since Franklin can get pretty anxious when I am away. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Stella and would happily book her again! :)”

“Erin was excellent! Super responsive, sent lots of pics and was so sweet to take care of our older dog. She was able to help Joey walk around, use the bathroom and generally make sure she was comfortable. Highly recommend!!”

“I had a great experience with this Warren and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. He took the time to ask thoughtful questions about Henry beforehand, which gave me confidence that he genuinely cared about providing the best care possible. While I was away, he was extremely communicative, sending regular updates and plenty of pictures. He was always very responsive whenever I reached out, and it was clear Henry was in great hands. I truly appreciate the care and attention he provided, and I look forward to using his services again!”

About: I've always loved animals and grew up with pet birds, dogs, hamsters, and currently have a senior cat. I started petsitting as a teenager and have continued to do so. Over the years I've taken care of big dogs, little dogs, cats (elderly and semi-feral included), chickens, and rabbits. I enjoy building a connection with animals at their pace, whether it's love at first treat or gaining trust from a distance. Although I am happy to care for any pet, big dogs have a special place in my heart. Comfortable with large and high energy dogs. Rover is my main gig, so I can accept last minute requests and have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. Unfortunately, my cat is an introvert so I don't offer boarding services. I do drop-ins and dogwalking. Respecting your home (and your fur baby's home) is high priority. Happy to accommodate in any way I can.

“Sydney was great! Albert really enjoyed her company and said she’s welcome back any time! :) 🐶”

“Jacob was AMAZING with our four...challenging pets (two cats, two dogs). His communication with us was clear and consistent throughout our entire trip, he followed all of our instructions exactly as we asked, and our animals (and house!) were all well taken care of. I can't recommend Jacob enough!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was little. I absolutely love it and have a lot of various experience with different animals including dogs (of any size), cats, birds, bunnies, lizards and guinea pigs! I also have raised a Seeing Eye Dog and have lots of experience training dogs. I work part time in fitness but that normally means early mornings to midday so I have evenings and midday off and a very flexible schedule. I also have weekends off so happy to work around your schedule to make it work :) I already have a dog and two cats in my home and am not able to have any additional furry friends in there but I am happy to come to you to keep your fur babies safe and happy.

About: Hi! I have 10 years of experience taking care of cats and dogs! I currently do not have any pets but love having them over. Not only do I have plenty experience, but I am also insured in the event of an accident! Please don’t hesitate to contact me 💖 I work from home as an administrative assistant so my schedule is very open and I am able to give really good care and attention to your pet if they are staying at my place. In addition to this I can also work traveling to your lovely animal into my schedule with no problems! While I live in an apartment building there is a fenced off area for pets to use the bathroom and play and it is even separated by the size of dogs so that they can safely play and roam. Pets are allowed on my furniture and I take care of them as if they were my own.

“Laurel was very thoughtful and kind and took care of my cat Birdie and apartment wonderfully for 10 days! So thankful for her help. Would recommend!”

Jackie L.

“Dan was fantastic with our girls. He provided lovely updates throughout the day and I knew our girls were well taken care of. We will definitely be booking again!”

“Great sitter. Friendly and conscientious”

Arun I.

“Quanece and Malik were great! Our dogs have previously been more anxious but during their time with Quanece and Malik they were back to their typical behavior and temperament much sooner. They clearly enjoyed their time and knowing they were so well taken care of helped alleviate our concerns while away. We look forward to having them spend time with our pups again soon!”

Maria R.

“Margo was such a good sitter. She came and met my pup the day before since they hadn’t met before. Took the time to ask all the questions on his habits, schedule, and medications. Even though I needed her pretty early in the morning she had no problems with being on time. The videos and pics throughout the day was a very nice touch.”

Doug B.

“Our quirky dog warmed up to Ximena right away, which says a lot. Ximena was thorough in learning both our dog's and cats' routines and put us at ease with regular updates while we were away. Highly recommended!”
