House Sitting in Fir Villa

“Fiona was great overnight with our pup! Great communication and pictures throughout. We (and Mac) hope to have her house sit for us again in the future!”

“Christy is the BEST dog sitter we have ever used! Our quirky two basenjis are not the easiest dogs to care for and the almost one year old had a few potty accidents. Christy took it all in stride and never made us feel anything but supported and relaxed about our time away (first time leaving the young one). Her communication was excellent and both our pups fell in love with her immediately! She was so helpful with everything and we can’t say enough wonderful things about how well she cared for (and loved) our dogs.”

“Kelly was AMAZING! She went above and beyond with my two dogs. She sent me pics. daily, walked them, trained them and loved them like they were her own. I came home to a clean home and two very happy dogs. To be honest I think they miss her and that makes my heart happy to know that they liked her so much. I highly recommend Kelly and will definitely use her again.”

About: I've grown up around dogs and taking care of them! I have experience delivering meds, taking multiple dogs on countless walks, and throwing a stick for hours on end! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am mostly available on weekends, and most weekdays in the afternoon. In home, your pets will be well taken-care of! I am happy to spend time in a backyard with some pups or go on walks!

“Stephanie and her husband were very accommodating on super short notice. We were very appreciative. Our puppy seemed to have a good time. She had recently been spayed and we needed some help keeping her calm, and that is what happened!”

“Molly took amazing care of my dogs when I was away for one week. She was attentive to detail, loving towards my dogs, and made sure everything was perfect before she left. She has a caring personality and a kind heart. My dogs were happy to see her and were happy when I came home. She stayed at my house for a few days and I instantly trusted her to be in my home the first day I met her. You can immediately tell she has a kind soul. I would recommend her in a heart beat. Thank you Molly!”

“Absolutely amazing she took such great fantastic care of Macy !!! Definitely a 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ plus sitter Recommend her highly !!! NOW however...my experience using "Rover" itself was extremely disappointing and dissatisfying!!!! Trying to communicate with your company was beyond difficult!!! Besides your cancelling my reservation.. without my authorization..every time I tried to contact you all I got was the run around from very unprofessional people. Who refused to answer any of my questions or concerns. Were rude and uninformed as to how to help me. I will NEVER use your company again!!! And certainly will not recommend anyone else use you !!!”

“Christopher took great care of my dog and sent lots of pictures. I had a water leak a couple days before I was leaving and was great about being there for maintenance to come while I was gone”

Cora S.

“It was awesome meeting Leanna, and I felt totally at ease leaving my pup in her care over Labor Day weekend. If I could give 6 stars, I would. Super professional, super responsive—any time I reached out, she got back to me within minutes, which really gave me peace of mind. This was my first time using Rover, and thanks to Leanna, it was a great experience. I’d happily recommend her to friends and family. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Diego O.

“Lorna looked after my 2 boys while I was away for the weekend. She sent updates along with photos and videos to calm my nerves as this was the first time I’ve left them with anyone outside of family. Not only were my boys extremely well taken care of, but so was my home❤️ I most definitely will be using Lorna again in the future!!”

Toni E.

“Erin was AMAZING! We are so thankful to of found and worked with her. She took such good care of our pups. One senior and one adult dog plus a cat. She made them feel at peace while we were away and couldn't of asked for a better outcome. Will work with her again.”

Kris Cass M.

“Alisha took great care of my girls! Great communication and appreciated her checking in and sending update's during the stay. Will definitely book again.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my parents raised and trained wirehaired pointing dogs, which gave me an early introduction to dog behavior, training, and responsible pet care. Today, our home is shared with five dogs and two cats, giving me hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. Our pets range from young adults to seniors, including a senior Chihuahua, a spirited Chiweenie, a 120-pound Boxer/Mastiff mix who still thinks he’s a lap dog, and two rescued littermates with unique backgrounds and endless affection. Because of this, I am comfortable caring for pets at many different life stages—from energetic younger animals to senior pets who may require extra patience, monitoring, and specialized care. I have experience with medication administration, basic grooming, nail trimming, bathing, litter box maintenance, and recognizing when something may be off with a pet’s health or behavior. Most importantly, I understand that every pet is an individual. Whether they want to play, cuddle, explore, or simply relax in their favorite spot, I strive to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care that helps them feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. ❤️🐾 I currently work 8 to 5 Monday through Thursday. However, if need be, I can come in before work, after work and anytime of the day Friday through Sunday. Our dogs have a huge yard to play in, cozy beds to sleep in and get special treats a few times a week. There is never a shortage of pets and cuddles with 7 animals.

“McKenna was amazing! This was my first time leaving my pups home for the weekend and having someone come house sit. McKenna helped put my mind at ease when we did the meet and greet. One of my pups left an unexpected surprise (my pup threw a tantrum and destroyed a furniture) for McKenna and she was so nice and cleaned it up for me. I came home to happy pups and I would recommend her. I’d have her back!”

“Alyssa cared for our cat, Mocha, for two days and stayed overnight at our home. This was our first time leaving Mocha for an extended period and using a cat sitter, so we were a little nervous but Alyssa put our minds at ease. It was clear that Mocha was comfortable with her—she continued eating, playing, and sleeping normally throughout the weekend. She even seemed to enjoy some in-depth conversations with Alyssa! We received regular updates and photos, which helped us feel connected and reassured while we were away. Alyssa also left our home neat and tidy. Overall, she did a fantastic job caring for both Mocha and our house. We would book with Alyssa again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

Mary Ellen G.

“McKenzie, was fabulous! We came home to very happy pups, and the house was spotless. We received many pictures and updates which helped us enjoy our vacation. We have already booked her again!!”

Elaine R.

“We always have peace of mind when Jane is taking care of our pets. She’s responsible, professional, and a great communicator. She had to deliver some very unfortunate and tragic news to us while we were away as our kitty was hit by a car. She was so sensitive and caring and handled a very stressful situation with compassion. We are very grateful to have Jane as a pet sitter.”

Michelle R.

“Had a wonderful experience with Rachel. Kindly offered an initial meet + greet. Pups and house appeared well maintained upon our return. We received some regular updates throughout the stay. Grateful for her help and would absolutely book again.”

Justine S.

“Aiden and Hunter took exceptional care of our fur babies- even winning over our shy cat and socially awkward pup! When we returned home, all three pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. This was a last minute booking and they immediately put us at ease with excellent communication and regular updates throughout their stay. They truly went above and beyond, even washing the linens on the guest bed before they left. They genuinely care about the animals they look after- we will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals for over 5 years and have hands-on experience with large breeds, working dogs, reactive dogs, and high-energy personalities. I currently own German Shepherds as well as two chinchillas, so I understand the importance of species-specific care, structure, enrichment, and maintaining a safe environment. I’m comfortable with crate routines, medication administration, basic training reinforcement, long walks, litter box care, feeding routines, and reading animal body language. My professional background in high-stress environments has also made me calm, dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative. I know how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone else, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently work full-time during the week, but I’m still able to provide dependable drop-in care and quality engagement for pets. I’m available for evening drop-in visits during the weekdays and can provide up to two visits per day on weekends. During visits, I focus on more than just feeding and potty breaks — I make sure pets receive attention, enrichment, playtime, affection, and companionship so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m especially attentive to routines, behavioral cues, and making animals feel safe and relaxed in their home environment. Safety, structure, and trust are extremely important to me when caring for animals. I have experience with large breeds, reactive dogs, cats, and small animals, so I understand the importance of reading body language, respecting boundaries, and maintaining calm, controlled interactions. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, crate rotations, leash handling, and household rules. I prioritize secure handling during walks and visits, double-check doors, gates, harnesses, and crates, and always aim to create a calm and positive environment for pets. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to help owners feel comfortable while they’re away.
