House Sitting Fernway

About: Hello! My name is Izzy, I’m 21 years old, and I’m going into my senior year at Penn State while working at Rita’s Italian Ice in Cranberry Twp. I’m so excited to start my Rover journey! I’ve grown up with having dogs in my household all my life, from a 4 1/2 lb. Chihuahua to a chunky Toy Fox Terrier to a mighty but loving Rottweiler-Black Lab mix. I’ve also been tasked with taking care of my neighbor’s and friend’s dogs over the years, whether that be stopping over to give them food, bathroom breaks, and cuddles, or even staying overnight over the span of a week so the dog(s) don’t feel alone. Therefore, I’m hoping to be the best fit for you, too! Outside of dogs, I love to be in our pool when the weather is warm and being able to do so with my family, pick up new crafting hobbies like scrapbooking or embroidery, and go to concerts of a variety of artists (43 concerts and counting!), most recently being 5 Seconds of Summer. I can’t wait to start this opportunity and hopefully bring some relief to someone in need of dog-helping needs! I’m currently working part-time at Rita’s Italian Ice in Cranberry Twp., and the schedule always fluctuates between 4-6 hour shifts. I don’t have set days, but I’m typically scheduled one weekday and the Friday-Sundays, However, I have plenty of time outside of those shifts and always accommodate around them to ensure that all the dog’s needs are met. At home, I assist in letting our dogs play in our fenced-in backyard, giving them treats when they’ve behaved or done a trick we’ve taught them (sit and “paw”), taking them on neighborhood walks when it’s nice outside, assuring that their food and water are filled, and playing with them to get their zoomies out before everyone starts winding down for the night. Outside of my home, if there is not a fenced-in backyard, I’ve taken the dog(s) outside on leashes for bathroom purposes, as well as do all actions mentioned above from what I do at home. Some houses have also had puppy pads when necessary, and I always take appropriate measures to clean up any messes and re-lay down a fresh puppy pad.

“We hired Erin to care for our three-year-old tuxedo cat, Lilly, for six nights. As first-time clients, we appreciated how regularly she kept us informed. She often shared photos and videos, and her strong communication skills made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Although she works primarily as a dog sitter, it was clear that she and Lilly quickly bonded - the photos showed the feeling was mutual. Erin also helped with a few household tasks, including setting out the garbage and watering our plants while we were gone. We returned to a tidy, well-kept home and a happy, well cared for cat. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire Erin again. In fact, we think Lilly already misses her. Thank you, Erin!”

“Ayla was quick to respond to my booking request, attentive to all my requests and my dog’s needs, and was great about sending updates throughout her housesitting stay. I plan to book with Ayla again later this summer.”

“Emma was awesome!! She took amazing care of our boys while we were gone. Great communication and left the house just as it was. Would highly recommend!”

James D.

“Anna took great care of Finn while we were away! He got more exercise than usual, and we know he misses her! She was a great companion for him and was very respectful of our home. We appreciated the daily updates and excellent photos - we will request Anna again for future trips!”

Amy M.

“Frankie was really good, highly recommend! Very responsive and sent pics of our dogs and cats while we were away and kept things really clean around the house.”

“Izzy took care of our two dogs and four rabbits while we were on vacation. She was very attentive to the needs of all of the animals and communicated with us before we left and throughout the six days that we were gone. It was such a relief to not have to send our dogs to the kennel like we did a few times in the past before connecting with Izzy on the Rover app. Izzy is very professional, punctual, and reliable. She even sent us photos of the dogs.? We will surely be using Izzy in the future.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, my parents have a blue heeler/husky mix currently that I take care of weekly, walk and love. I have had experience with puppy’s, abandoned dogs, foster dogs and senior dogs. As well as over 20 different breeds. I have walked my neighbors dogs my whole life and want to help out others and give pets the love and care during the day that they deserve! I do have a full time flexible job that is work from home. I am able to set my own schedule and I am able to help those and their pets who don’t have as flexible of a schedule and that’s what I am here to do! I have a safe neighborhood dog walking friendly. Or usually choose to walk dogs where their owners usually take them so they are comfortable while walking or being taken care of by a new face! Try to keep everything as normal as the pet is used to by their owner.

“Bacchus is a senior dog who loves to stay in his own home. He does not do well staying over at someone’s house or kenneled. Kaitlyn stayed at our house while we went on vacation and provided all the love and care needed for him. She sent us daily updates and pictures. And always responded if I had a question. She had no problems following Bacchus’s schedule of daily treats ( he’s a treat boy!). We came home to happy dog and a spotless home! She even cared for my outside flowers which was a challenge in the hot temps. She did a great job both inside and out! I definitely recommend Kaitlyn and will ask her to pet sit the next time we need her.”

“Brianna is a godsend and a true joy! So knowledgeable, patient, understanding, & kind. My 1 year old lab has lots of puppy energy and she is well versed in handling all doggy personalities. She is timely with responses and bookings and truly goes the extra mile with everything she does from understanding your dog's needs to taking care of your home in your absence. She keeps you informed with updates and photos of your fur babies and ensures your home is clean & tidy. It was wonderful returning to my house completely in order and my doggies relaxed from playtime. Wholeheartedly recommend and am looking forward to having her as my go-to for sitting with my babies!”

“If you need a house/dog sitter, look no further! Lauren was absolutely awesome. We have a 100lb Doberman who is very sweet but he is high energy and can be a lot to handle for people not used to large high energy dogs. Lauren took care of him with no issues at all while staying at our house for 5 nights. She gave him regular walks and spent a ton of time with him. She also was great at sending pictures and updates. Finally, she took great care of our house and respected our rules. She was great all around!”

“Luke is a very kind, and professional. He took care of our 3 dogs while my husband was having his lumbar surgery and I stayed at a hotel. We kept in contact with each other. When I returned the house was in the same condition before we left and the dogs were in a calm state of mind when we returned. Royce kept looking out the sliding glass door for Luke to return. I'm so happy they got along for Royce don't take to just anyone but they both found a forever buddy and we hope to have Luke around again for his services. I had no worries. He showed up on time and was ready to work very early. Thanks Luke for all your help, Lee and I and the dogs are forever grateful for your help. Thank you, Tammy, Lee, Royce,Ruby and WeeWee.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for years as I’ve trained my own dog to be a service dog when she started as a rambunctious puppy. I have had dog aggressive dogs who I’ve helped them be able to overcome those issues. I as well am able to be very active and can handle large dogs as I have a mastiff and Great Dane of my own. I currently work part time in retail. But would love to get out and get another job that I will enjoy. So I will have a functional schedule that I can always work around with to cooperate with my clients. I will only be going to my clients’ homes which will make sure that your pet is comfortable and I can work with those who may have dog aggressive dogs. I have experience with them and use positive reinforcement with treats for bad behavior.

Mylo is a cuddly King Charles Spaniel who I have raised from a puppy and Jazzy is a beagle mix who I rescued when she was 3 !

She is thankfully totally anxiety free now and living her best life! I am looking forward to providing your pups with a PAWsome experience! I am currently working from home which gives me ample time to provide your pets with the care they need!
