House Sitting in Exchange

“Tasha was amazing! She took great care of our pets while we were out of town for a week. It took a lot for us to trust someone to stay at our house with our pets and I am glad we gave her a chance. We came home to happy animals and the house exactly as we left it. She also sent daily pictures to keep us updated. 100% would recommend, she loves animals and will be great with your pets 😊”

“Danni is so sweet and took great care of my babies! I will definitely be booking with her in the future:) I forgot to reschedule my food delivery box and she was kind enough to bring it in and unpack it for me. My dogs and cat loved her and it was an overall great experience!”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs—including chihuahuas, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and currently a high-energy golden retriever and a 14-year-old senior chihuahua. I understand the unique needs of puppies, active breeds, and senior pets. I follow care routines to the letter and truly enjoy connecting with each animal’s personality. Whether it’s energetic play or gentle companionship, I provide thoughtful, consistent, and loving care. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I am a part time student and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, feedings, medications, and quality time throughout the day and evening. I treat every home and pet with respect. I follow detailed instructions and prioritize cleanliness, comfort, and routine. I ensure pets have a safe, familiar environment—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, using harnesses properly on walks, or keeping medications on track. Communication is key, and I always provide timely updates to pet parents.

“We were very pleased with using Tammy for the first time with the two beardies at our home over the weekend. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her after meeting her and her careful attention to the details of taking care of them. We could tell they were pleased, unstressed and happy with her stay. We would not hesitate to use her again and refer her to friends! She took great care with our house as well”

“If Rick is available to care for your dog, book him! He is an actual dog trainer and my very fussy dog loved her time with him. Rick is very gracious and sent me doggie pics every single day. Knowing that she was in such good hands, greatly enhanced my time away. He's terrific!”

“Katie was prompt, attentive and sent a picture and an update while we were gone!! Definitely will be using her again ♥️”

“Lexi is one of the best sitters out there! You can tell she is passionate for animals and treats them as her own. She was so great at communicating with us and is very responsive. We received a video update on our pups as well. The house was left in the same shape we left it in. Very kind, sweet, and caring girl!”

“Bridget did a wonderful job with both our cat and dog. She went above and beyond with regards to sending photos, keeping us up to date on everything, and making sure our pets were happy. It was visible in the photos how comfy and content our pets were with her. She even did arts and crafts with them and took Letti to get ice cream. On top of all this, Bridget was watching our pets at a point where the cat and dog were getting used to living with one another, and she did a wonderful job giving them supervised interactions and continuing our socialization for both of them while we were gone. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Shelly is a treat! We've never gone on vacation without our dog because she can be a real handful and we didn't want to burden anyone else. Well, a trip came up where we couldn't take her and we decided to give home sitting a shot. Enter our hero, Shelly. She made the whole process easy and, more importantly, our dog loved her, which is a rarity. Long story short, we love Shelly!”

“Alison is amazing and I highly recommend her! She was my first sitter using Rover and the first dog sitter I’ve hired that I didn’t know. She took excellent care of my senior dog Jax (13 year old malamute mix with arthritis who is on multiple medications) and excellent care of my home! I was nervous about leaving him, but my nerves were instantly calmed when I met her for an introduction meeting before my trip. She sent multiple photos each day and her updates on how he was doing made me feel like she genuinely cared about him. I usually get some attitude from Jax for leaving him, but he was in such good spirits when I came home that I really think he enjoyed his time with her. The house was the least of my concerns, but she took excellent care of that as well! Don’t hesitate to book with her if she’s available! I would give her 100 stars if possible.”

“Stacey was amazing and went above and beyond for me and my pets. She mentioned she has 3 large dogs and her experience really showed. At one point I ran out of dog food and she offered to go pick some up. She also watched over my guinea pig and took great care of him, since she has rabbits of her own. I will definitely be booking her again and again!”

Madison G.

“Kyla did an excellent job house sitting with my dog. She was very communicative, responsive to my texts and sent pictures of my girl through her stay. Will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Kyla!”

Bethany R.

“Our pup was clearly happy and well taken care of while we were away. I appreciate how much Sarah took care of our needs (to get lots of updates) and was so flexible and understanding when the airline changed our travel plans on us. Our dog is happy to see us but I bet he’ll be looking for Sarah to come play with him soon! Will definitely hope to have Sarah come take care of him again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I’ve always been a dog person and have a lot of experience around all sorts of dogs! My wife and I currently have 2 golden doodles along with our three beautiful daughters. I have a flexible job that allows me the freedom to be available throughout the day and availability in the evening. I can accommodate whatever your needs may be! Walks, play and attention can be guaranteed when I’m with your pups! At my home, I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs that can keep your furry friends company! We can visit a local park with a quiet fenced in area for the pups as well!

“Christina is wonderful! She kept us updated the whole time with so many photos and videos of our babies. We were so relieved to have found someone we could trust with our 18 pets so that we could go on vacation. Thank you Christina! I would highly recommend her, she really has a heart and knowledge for pets!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve regularly dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors, gaining experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. This past summer, I worked for a professional dog walking and cat visiting company, where I received hands-on training in handling different breeds, recognizing body language, and responding to a variety of situations with calm and care. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra training and supervision, as well as senior pets who may require gentler handling or special accommodations. I’m skilled at following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and adjusting my approach to match each pet’s personality and needs. What sets me apart is my combination of lifelong passion, professional training, and dedication to treating every pet as if they were my own. I go to Indiana University Indianapolis, but I make time in my weekly routine to care for pets because it’s something I truly enjoy. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and sitting around my classes. Whether it’s mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I’m able to dedicate quality time to making sure pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for. My classes are only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their established routines and any specific instructions provided to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to each animal’s unique needs, whether that means using special walking equipment, feeding a particular diet, or administering medications. My background working for a dog walking and cat visiting company taught me how to handle pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, as well as how to respond calmly to unexpected situations. I make safety a top priority, ensuring leashes and harnesses are secure, doors and gates are closed, and pets are never put in unsafe situations. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing consistent care, affection, and attention so both pets and owners can feel confident and at ease.

“Ariel watched Calvin in my house for 5 days. I arrived home to a clean house and a happy dog!”

“Ann was fabulous with our elderly min pin and kitty. They both have meds and a schedule that works well and Ann was able to master that for the time she cared for our two furry kids. She spent a couple of nights and days and both pets were calm and fine when we returned. I would have Ann sit for our kiddos again!”

About: I did an internship at medical mutts where I trained service dogs and helped take care of them. I’ve watched friends dogs. I train dogs too! I’m not really doing anything, so I’m available pretty much whenever, I am totally flexible. I can do long term or short term schedules. I want your dog to be safe! I’m unfortunately not able to do boarding at my house, but I can take your dog out to see my little brothers or my grandma because she loves dogs, I can take your dog to the park and I can even train your dog!

About: Hello! My name is Nicole, and I recently moved to the Martinsville area and am reopening my pet sitting business. I’ve been providing professional pet care for dogs and cats since 2016, and my boyfriend, Evan, and I are excited to continue offering services here. We're animal people. We share our home with two senior cats and a playful young Basset Hound named Banjo. I am a nurse by profession, so I’m comfortable giving all types of medications. My boyfriend, Evan, works from home, which means there’s always someone around to give your pets undivided attention, frequent walks, and potty breaks. We're well-experienced with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. The dogs we sit in our home must be comfortable with cats and other dogs. We offer a calm, quiet environment for docile, shy, or senior dogs, and for young or active dogs, we can provide a fun and playful atmosphere. We're also comfortable reinforcing any obedience or training you've been working on, so your pet won't miss a beat. If you're looking for a safe, loving home for your pet while you're away, we'd be honored to take care of them! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. My partner and I work from home so we are here and very attentive to all pets that we board. We're familiar with basic dog training, obedience, and safety. We live on a quiet farm in a small house. The area is really quiet and not close to any main roads. We prioritize safety for our pets and boarders
