House Sitting in Fordland

About: I regularly care for dogs and cats for friends and coworkers. I love animals, and pet sitting lets me spoil them since I don’t have space for my own puppy. I work full-time with a bit of remote flexibility, so I’d love to sneak in some pet cuddles and care between work tasks. Free after 5 PM weekdays and all day weekends! I provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for your pet in their own home. I follow routines, respect their space, and ensure comfort, care, and peace of mind while you’re away.

“Angelee was amazing. Communication was quick and clear, and throughout her stay, she kept us updated with pictures. I will definitely book again.”

“Laura treated our dogs well. She sent us pictures thru ought the weekend which was nice. And they seemed very happy when we got home. Plus she was an excellent house guest by washing the sheets and towels before we got home.”

“Samantha was so great with our dogs and took great care of our place, too, while she stayed with them overnight. She sent us updates and communicated well about questions etc. We’ll definitely be repeat customers!”

“Liz is the greatest. Late Tuesday night our dog, Aurora, started not feeling well. We wanted to have someone watch her the next day to make sure she was okay. I reached out to Liz at like 11pm. To my surprise, she not only responded but agreed to come at 8am to take care of Aurora. She kept us updated on Aurora's condition throughout the day and gave Aurora the best medicine: lots of love. So grateful. Thank you, Liz.”

About: I've cared for dogs since I was a young boy when they would follow me home. I discovered I loved spending time with them. I've cared for a variety of dogs, small to large, pup to senior and dog's with disabilities who need extra TLC. I am able to assess and adjust my attention based on a dog's needs and desires, energetic and playful or gentle and loving. I've spent many hours training my dogs and will follow your instructions and commands to ensure best experience for you and your dog. I look forward to caring for your dog as if he or she was my own. I have lots of time most evenings (Wed-Fri) and all day on Saturday to care, walk and play with your dog(s), giving you time and peace of mind. I currently do not have a dog as my last rescue, Buddy, crossed the rainbow bridge last year. We are waiting for a move to the country before getting another dog and fostering many more. I will walk your animal on leash or use a dog park as you desire. Safety is always top priority. I stay aware of my surroundings and on the look out for potential threats to the dog I'm walking.

About: I have been around family pets from the age of 5 years old. At 17, I raised my own dog from a puppy as well as participated in obedience training up to the advanced level. I have worked with dogs of various breeds and sizes through house sitting and volunteering, and I have experience with dogs of all ages from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I have also had pet cats and enjoy caring for them and their needs. PLEASE NOTE: New clients must book a minimum of 5 nights for the first stay. My job allows me to work fully remote, meaning that my place of work allows me to be flexible for extended stays as well as have pauses throughout each day for the ideal at-home pet care schedule. I strive to maintain a routine as close to each pet's home life as possible. I set clear and simple boundaries for clients' pets that reflect those of their owner and allow them to feel at home with me as their sitter.

“This was our first time having Nancy house-sit Sofia. Sofia is very shy but at the pre-meeting, she immediately approached Nancy with her tail wagging and let her pet her. I didn't worry at all leaving her in Nancy's care. She sent regular photos and updates.”

About: From a young age I've always gravitated toward the unconditional love that an animal provides. Throughout my life, I've cared for miniature Yorkies all the way up to 90lb German Shepherd's. I’m currently a graduate student at Drury University so my schedule is flexible. Recently adopted a French bulldog and I'm looking forward to caring for yours! Your animal will have the peace and quiet of a house with only one other small French bulldog and no children. I would love to take your furry friend for a walk or relax at home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my friends and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I have a huge passion for animals and LOVE loving on them! I’ve taken care of of every kind of little pet-from dogs and cats to lizards and rats. I do have little ones in the house but we have taught them from a young age to be very respectful of animals and their space. We also have two Corgis in our household. Both Corgis are very friendly with other dogs but we understand that some owners may be uncomfortable with having new dogs around their furry friend. With this being said, the corgis are used to following my husband’s schedule who works from home during the night so they can easily be separated from your four-legged friends! As a Stay-At-Home-Mom I am able to offer 24-hour care! We do occasionally like to get out for an activity so do let me know in advanced if around the clock care is needed so we can accommodate! We love to take morning walks and would love for your furry friend to join us! If a walk won’t work-we have a giant fenced-in back yard to run around and play in! I am currently a stay-at-home-mom so most of my day is spent in the home following whatever schedule my boys keep me on:) We would love to incorporate your furry friend into our schedule! I am able to crate your dog (if needed) during the night or when I’m away. If a crate is not needed during the night then your furry friend will be allowed to sleep wherever!

About: I've been a dog sitter for several friends and family. As my son got further into the travel baseball tournaments I needed a dog sitter for our three dogs and three cats. I used Rover and loved the sitters. I've cared for all breeds, mixes shapes and sizes of dogs and cats . When I lived in Texas for three years, during that time I also volunteered with the local shelter where I made many furry friends. Pets and pet care have been a part of my life since birth. My first word was "jack" our family dog. Now that my son is in college I have more time and would love to use it to assist you and your family with pet care so you can travel knowing your pet family is safe in my hands. I have had baby puppies all the way to a senior Great Pyrenees. I am in sales and am an empty nester so I have a very flexible schedule. I am able to make myself available to your pets whenever needed. I have a privacy fenced yard, I walk my rescue bird dog Ranger four miles a day. My house is very pet friendly and we keep a schedule for our dogs feeding and it works very well so I am sure I can accommodate any food needs or allergies.

“Booked Stefanie last minute! She quickly accepted my request and she made sure to get all the information needed from me, in order to be able to house sit my four dogs. When I arrived home my dogs seemed to be content and I noticed Stefanie gave my dogs the treats and food I left behind. She provided updates and was able to answer any questions I had. This was my first time using Rover and I am glad I could find a dog lover that made sure all of mine were taken care of. She was even went one step further by hand feeding my picky dog without me asking her to do so!”
