Top rated Fairhaven house sitters
“Highly recommend Shyla. Just as everyone else stated, she provides many many updates and ensures that she keeps you, the owner as comfortable as the fur baby. Georgie was well loved during our week away. I would definitely hire her again-no reservations. Thank you Shyla!”
“Maddy was a fantastic house/cat sitter for our two cuties. Her communication is excellent, she carefully followed our sort of OTT directions for feeding and we returned home to happy kitties and a sparkling house. Thank you, Maddy!”
“Kieran watched my old dog Albert for four days and they had an amazing time together while we were on vacation. Every day I got a collection of photos of him out on adventures and relaxing at home. Our trip was made all the better knowing that he was so loved and safe in their hands. Albert got to meet Kieran beforehand in an arranged meet and greet and it gave me great peace of mind to see how quickly he trusted them. I would look no further than Kieran for any of your pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, or drop in needs!”
“Paulina was so great about getting my high energy dog out for great walks while I was gone! She sent lots of pictures and updates and I felt secure knowing she was spending time with him. I would definitely ask Paulina to watch him again!”
“Both dog (Lani) and house were very well cared for! Stone is a great communicator, sent pictures without prompts during an 8 day sit. Bonus left the house super clean and secure. She also facilitated a dog pick up to friends mid-trip for us. I have referred a friend to her doggie care and will be booking Stone again!”
“Brennan was amazing with my dog and even my cat was super happy! Was great at communicating, sending pictures, and asking questions. Very friendly and had the perfect energy to watch my Aussie/Border Collie mix. Definitely looking forward to the next time I can request his help.”
“Autumn took amazing care of my 1.5 year old Golden retriever Mallory. This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, and Autumn made me feel so comfortable, I knew she would be in great hands. They are incredibly responsive, and timely! Mallory had such a great time! Will definitely be booking Autumn again for any travel!”
“Milena did a great job taking care of Zeke while I was gone - very communicative and gave great updates. The house was spotless when I returned, and Zeke was calm and happy.”
“Excellent! Kept me updated with pics and used my Louie 101 note that has all of his info, commands, and routine. Very professional and my dog had an amazing time! Will book again”
“Jada has been amazing! Our two boys, dog and cat, vibed well with her. Even though our cat is usually shy, he was able to warm up to her really quick. Highly recommend Jada to take care of my fur babies!”
“Mckinzie is so sweet and patient! Lucy can be reactive and gets nervous around new people at first but Mckinzie's calm demeanor instantly made Lucy feel comfortable and instantly snuggle with her! They had a great weekend and I would definitely have Mckinzie sit again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I’ve had 3 dogs and 4 cats. I was also the neighborhood pet sitter people relied on me to walk and watch after their pets I’m currently in school but have a light schedule. Im available during the day and night. I will be gone December 13th till January 3rd. Tell me what your furry friend needs and I’ll make sure they get it. I’m only available to walks and sitting as I don’t have my own place.
“Giselle was fantastic to work with! We did the initial meet and greet but my dog (who is a 175lb giant) was post cataract surgery so she came by a 2nd time to go through the additional eye drop care. I was so nervous to leave him in that state and in general but Giselle assured me she'd he thorough and follow everything he needed. She was great with updates and I came home to a happy dog who had all his eye care covered! It was a demanding care schedule with multiple times a day eye drops and oral meds. I'm so grateful for Giselle's dedication to his medical needs! I will absolutely be working with her again!”
“We really appreciated Mo coming to our house and watching our dog while we were away for 5 days. Our dog is an older dog that needs a little bit of special care. Mo did wonderful job of taking care of her. When there was an unexpected question of our dog being hurt, Mo was immediately communicative. The problem was fairly quickly resolved, and she followed up after to keep us up to date. We felt very comfortable with how she handled the situation, her communication and how she cared for Alice. Mo left the house in wonderful condition, and everything was perfectly clean when we got home. Would definitely recommend her services!”

I am SO THANKFUL for Anna!!! This was the first time I've ever used Rover or any dogsitters for that matter. Leaving the pups stresses me out. I had to go out of town for my ailing 91 yr old mom at the last minute. I contacted Anna the day before & she met with us that day. Anna made a stressful situation so much better for me. She was flexible, communicative, helpful, great with the pups & everything looked great upon return. I would wholeheartedly recommend Anna. She will be asking her to watch the pups again with no worries.
Kieran watched my old dog Albert for four days and they had an amazing time together while we were on vacation. Every day I got a collection of photos of him out on adventures and relaxing at home. Our trip was made all the better knowing that he was so loved and safe in their hands. Albert got to meet Kieran beforehand in an arranged meet and greet and it gave me great peace of mind to see how quickly he trusted them. I would look no further than Kieran for any of your pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, or drop in needs!
Justise was super flexible and so great at keeping in touch and taking care of my kitties! My senior cat needs to take pills twice a day, so I always feel a bit anxious, but I didn’t have a worry in the world with her. And guess what? After the first night, I found out they were both snuggling up to her! I can’t recommend Justise enough and will definitely use her again :)
Sydney was great with our dog Mulligan. she was prompt and communicative in our meet and greet and when she came to hang with him, and she was patient with his shyness/trepidation when she first arrived. she quickly won Mully over, and we returned to a calm and happy pup when we got home. we will definitely use Sydney again when we need someone to hang out with Mulligan. :)
Brennan was amazing with my dog and even my cat was super happy! Was great at communicating, sending pictures, and asking questions. Very friendly and had the perfect energy to watch my Aussie/Border Collie mix. Definitely looking forward to the next time I can request his help.
So grateful to Gloria for taking good care of my "kids" so I could get away to have a great couple of days out of town - without worry. What a gift to give someone! Gloria is a lovely young woman, and both my dog and cat loved her right away. She was sure to play with & comfort my anxious dog, and to keep in touch with me. I will book again with her with complete confidence.
Izzy was amazing!! She was on time, communicated so well (we love all the updates and photos), took great care of our cedar boy. He can be shy with walks with new people but she gave him lots of treats and patience and he ended up walking with her multiple times during her stay! We can’t wait to book her again :)
Darian was wonderful with our dog Mulligan. he's a relatively new rescue for us, and while he's gained much comfort and confidence since we got him, he's still a bit trepidatious about visitors coming to our house. when Darian came over for a meet and greet, not only did he not bark at all, he almost immediately went right up to her and requested pets. in fact, he basically insisted she hold his head in her hand through the whole visit... not at all normal behavior for him. Darian was prompt when she came to hang out with Mully while we went to vancouver for a concert, and he hung out close to her the whole time we were gone. clearly he appreciated her calm, warm presence, and he was very happy and relaxed when we got home. we will definitely use Darian again to stay with Mulligan, and we recommend her highly. :)
Heather is a wonderful house/pet sitter. She took care of my dog, bunny and chickens for 5 days. I felt comfortable with her immediately. She had good communication throughout my trip so I felt at ease. And she left my home immaculate and even changed my sheets!
My dog was in such good hands with Alyssa! Would definitely recommend to anyone! My dog can be a stubborn boy sometimes and she did great with him and sent a bunch of videos of them out on adventures! She even took the time to clean our apartment and bake us cookies before we got back which was much appreciated after a long trip!
