House Sitting in Forest City

“If you feel like you can’t go out of town because no one will love your babies as much as you, well wait till you meet Daphne! Daphne is phenomenal! She took care of our 4 fur babies like they were her own from the moment she met them. She was so good at taking care of their every need. Daphne updated us while on our trip with so many pictures. She took them out for their walks, gave them their medication, and loved all over them. I will ALWYS choose Daphne to take care of our babies when we go out of town! We have a trip coming up in October 2024 and will choose Daphne to take care of our beloved babies!”

“Karena did a great job with our pups! Communication was great and they were very happy when we came home. Happy to have her take care of our pups in the future.”

“Dana was absolutely amazing with our pets. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were forced into our first experience with Rover. I feel so lucky that we were able to connect with Dana and that she had availability to watch our pups. Her communication was amazing. She was very easy to work with. She seemed very comfortable with both personalities of our dogs, which is something considering how different they are. The communication and pictures during our trip were outstanding. I couldn’t recommend Dana more. In fact, we have already sent her profile to some of our closest friends. Thank you so much for all the help!”

“Brenda and Dwain were INCREDIBLE! We left for a week long trip and I was so nervous about making sure our babies were okay. From the start Brenda and Dwain were very present and attentive to the animals and wanted to make sure they followed their routine to a T. Our dogs eat homemade food and they stayed active with making their food through the week, as well as stayed consistent with their daily walks. One of our dogs was having a hot spot issue when we left, but they stayed on top of treating it with the medicine we left and when we got home his hot spot was almost completely gone! They sent updates and pictures multiple times a day which made me feel so much better! They even took the time to write little “stories” about the day which were so fun to read! We didn’t have to worry at all on our trip because we knew they were all well taken care of. When we got home, our house was clean and virtually untouched and all the animals were happy and healthy! I couldn’t recommend Brenda and Dwain enough! If you want a family that will treat your animals and your home like their own while you are away, book them!! Thank you guys so much!”

“Gwen was great! This was our first time working with her; she provided updates and pictures throughout the stay. Will definitely work with her again!”

Mauricio G.

“Noelle was fantastic with our babies! We will definitely reach out to her again for our next weekend getaway! She was attentive to their needs, patient with our pug's disability, cognizant of their comfort throughout the weekend, and kept them on their schedule/routine. She checked in often and kept us informed of their activities, leaving us to a stress-free, mostly unplugged weekend. We are very happy to have found Noelle!”

“The best. Take great care of dogs and my house. It’s always cleaner than when I left it. Great communication. Always so pleasant and sending great updates and pictures. Highly recommend this sweet couple.”

“Peter did a great job… he was very caring for our dog and house. He has been open to our comments that allow him to fully understand what we look for in a dog/house sitter.”

Mark L.

“Phoebe was phenomenal! She stayed at our home with our cat and dog while we traveled. Both are animals are older and have several medications, and one has weekly treatments with our veterinarian. Phoebe provided all of their medications and appointments easily. She went above and beyond taking precautions to help protect the pipes from freezing at the house since there was a hard freeze for several days while we were away. Phoebe sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on how our babies were doing while we were away. We returned to a clean home and happy babies. We are so grateful for everything Phoebe did and would absolutely recommend her for any house sitting needs!”

Leah P.

“Maria was amazing! We felt so at ease having her watch our babies, including our elderly dog who needs extra attention. We will definitely be hiring her again. Thank you!”

“Zach was amazing and we will absolutely be using his services again. Our Great Dane, Kallie, is sweet as can be and very easy to manage. However our other dog, Captain, suffers from some pretty significant anxiety and it can be quite difficult to get him to trust new people. Zach was calm, thorough, and patient with him. Captain completely fell in love!! Zach sent us multiple updates and pictures over the 3 days that he house/dog sat for us and was extremely detailed in his questions beforehand. He even got Captain to go for a walk with him!!! We truly can’t recommend him enough and have no doubt that WHEN he comes back to care for our home and babies they will all be well loved and cared for!! Thanks Z, we really appreciate you!”

Kylie C.

“Ashlee watched our disabled dog while we were out of town. She was patient when our dog had an accident and was willing to carry her outside to go potty. We will definitely use her again!”

Erin S.

“Wonderful house sitter & took terrific care of our cat Oscar. Deborah leapt in to help us on short notice when another Rover sitter bailed the night before she was due to start. My wife and I highly recommend Deborah and would be happy to use her again.”

Jonathan G.

“Alexa was great with housesitting my 2 dogs! She is responsible and friendly, arrived on time, and kept me updated throughout her stay with messages and photos. I would definitely trust her to watch my doggos again!”

Kelsey M.

“Valerie was absolutely fantastic! We have never left our dogs with anyone other than family before, so we were quite nervous. But Valerie was the perfect person to stay with our boys. Tebow is a senior dog with a lot of health issues & medicine needs, on top of his personality issues! Valerie dealt with him like a pro! She spoiled our boys while we were gone, and gave us great daily updates so we always had peace of mind. I would highly recommend Val!! We will definitely use her again!”

Lauren D.

“Thanya took great care of Tuco and the house. She is very responsive and sent updates twice a day. With her knowledge and experience with animals I felt very comfortable leaving Tuco in her care.”

Mark B.

“I use amber regularly now as my work schedule is all over the place. She is the most fantastic sitter ever. She takes care of your dog and home and is just such a delight! Always will try to book her and she is usually always available.”

“Taylor looked after my fur baby while i went away for a weekend trip. She stayed at my house, and everythihng was good when i returned. My fur baby looked happy. Some initial issues with communication and amendments to dates, but worked with Taylor to resolve the issue and everything, thankfiully, worked out.”

About: growing up with all kinds of pets from dogs and cats to parakeets and reptiles, i have grown fond of animals that i was known as the neighborhood pet sitter since i was 14! i’m a responsible, caring human who loves to spend time with animals. i am active and love to take long walks for my energetic dogs, but i channel my zen homebody for those fur babies who love to lounge and laze on laps. i’m currently working part-time which means i have more time on my hands to get to know and care for fur babies! my daily routine is always a healthy breakfast, a meditative walk in the park, reading a book in the afternoon, and having dinner and a movie for bedtime! i’m a homebody through and through. my exercise typically consists of the gym or a long walk exploring park ave! i have a private enclosed patio in a quiet neighborhood, so there is always a space for anxious dogs or explorer cats to enjoy in the safety of my home. when i house sit, i am respectful, responsible, and very mindful of my environment. i clean up both after myself and fur babies to ensure your home is as spotless as you left it. i make sure to keep things routine for the comfort of your pets.

“Makenna dog sat for us for 4 nights and was great! She sent pictures daily and kept me in the loop. Dogs seemed happy as ever! She also was a great guest - stripped the bed before leaving and kept the house tidy. Will be rebooking. Thanks again!!!”
