House Sitting in Gales Ferry

“Once again, Faith gives above and beyond -/ sends photos of the babies, takes meticulous care of medications, leaves house spotless -- she is the best and we'd be lost without her.”

“Jennifer was an amazing sitter for our puppy while we’re away. She took great care of both our home and our 14 week old puppy while we were gone for 5 days. She was very accommodating to his needs as he had not been fully vaccinated yet and sent us multiple photos and updates throughout each day. She was very considerate of his routine as a puppy and was able to provide stability for him. We will definitely be rebooking in the future if we need to. Can’t thank her enough for taking care of our pup!”

Geena B.

“Angelle has become our trusted and go-to sitter! We are always grateful for her support in taking care of our puppies while we are out on travel.”

John H.

“Jessica was very attentive to our 13 yr old dog, making sure he was well fed and got his multiple medications. She kept us updated with videos and photos. He was happy to see us when we got home but I think he also missed Jessica!”

Catherine D.

“Sara was absolutely incredible. She was communicative, prompt, knowledgeable, and put my mind at ease. My pup is an old girl with ailing health and a picky mind when it comes to food. Sara showed up in the creativity to hook my kid up. On top of that, my flight fell through to the next day- she was flexible, allowing me to focus on other matters. Bless. I will definitely be using Sara again in the future. HIGHLY recommend”

Lauren H.

“Palma was great and took good care of the house and our three pets. I would have appreciated a little more day to day communication but I didn't ask for it so it is difficult to fault her there. Otherwise, our pets and house are in perfect health and they were well taken care of”

Cristopher J.

“We’ve used Lauren several times and on this trip away we hit a major delay in our return. Lauren was happy to return to make sure our pup was cared for! So thankful for Lauren and feel so reassured leaving our dog in her care in the future.”

Emilia G.

“Kate was absolutely amazing! We were so worried about our special needs cat while we were out of town but both of our cats and dog loved her!! She was able to get out very shy cat to eat his medicine and play with her in such a short amount of time. We will definitely be using Kate in the future when we’re out of town!”

About: I have been pet sitting for 8 years, but have been a lover of animals my whole life. I have cared for all sorts of animals, from dogs and cats, to rabbits, turtles, goats, and birds. I give every animal the attention they deserve and I treat each animal as if they were my own. I am trustworthy, kind, punctual, and dedicated to the welfare of all animals in my care. I do house sitting, dog walking, in home care, and boarding. I can care for animals that need medications. I have experience working with puppies and house training. I take the care of animals very seriously and will do everything I can to make them comfortable while you are away from them. I will be their friend when your away and their home away from home. I am currently unemployed and a stay at home dad for my daughter and son. My daughter is in school. Both of them love animals. I have open availability to take care of your fur babies. I make sure the pets are happy and healthy and give them lots of attention and love as if they were my own. I love to play with animals.

“Aubrey was great with my pups for the week. She was very communicative and I came home to a clean house and happy dogs.”

Emily R.

“Rebekah took great care of my dog. She took him on daily hikes or walks , sent picture updates while I was away , and gave him lots of tlc. I felt really safe leaving my dog in her care and will definitely use her in the future.”

Jessica L.

“Angela was amazing! Met my babes last minute and totally just loved them and treated them as her own. It was overnights and I came back to two exhausted pups. I will highly recommend her to family, friends, and those of you that don’t know her yet!”

About: I've been caring for animals for over 10 years and feel a genuine connection with them that goes beyond just following instructions. I'm calm, patient, and observant — qualities that animals respond to quickly, especially in pets that are anxious, shy, or used to a specific routine. What makes my care genuinely different is my background: I hold a biology degree and have medical school training, which means I'm not just comfortable with medications and special needs — I actually understand the underlying conditions. I know what to watch for, how to communicate clearly with your vet if something comes up, and how to stay calm under pressure. I have direct experience with: Administering oral, topical, and injected medications on schedule. Caring for senior pets and those with chronic conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, or kidney disease. Following detailed feeding protocols, restricted diets, and post-surgical care routines. Monitoring subtle behavioral and physical changes that can signal a health issue early. Handling anxious, reactive, or high-needs animals with calm, consistent energy. Beyond medical care, my hands-on animal experience spans a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, gerbils, horses and farm animals. I also spent time assisting on an organic farm in Japan where regular garden care was part of everyday life. I ran an Airbnb for several years as well, which taught me how to care for someone's home with the same respect I'd give my own — something that matters a lot in house sitting situations. I have verified 5-star reviews on TrustedHouseSitters from real pet owners, which reflects the level of care and communication I bring to every booking. On Rover I'm building my paid care profile and bringing that same standard with me. I work remotely as a Medical Qigong Therapist, which means my schedule is genuinely flexible and I'm home throughout the day — not popping in between a job and other commitments. Pet care fits naturally and completely into my daily routine. I can closely follow your pet's existing schedule for feeding, walks, medications, and rest without interruption. Your pets won't be left alone for long stretches, and I adapt to what they need rather than fitting them around a fixed schedule. I'm currently slow-traveling across the United States and available for house sitting and drop-in care in cities along my route. I typically stay in each location for days to weeks at a time, which makes me well suited to longer bookings. Message me to check if I'll be in your area — I'm happy to discuss timing and logistics. Safety and consistency are at the center of how I work. In a client's home I follow all instructions carefully — routines, feeding schedules, medications, restricted areas, and any behavioral notes you share. I treat your home as my own: tidy, secure, and respected throughout the stay. My medical background means I'm genuinely prepared for situations that would stress out most sitters. If a pet shows signs of distress, a change in behavior, or a medical concern, I know how to assess the situation calmly, respond appropriately, and contact you and your vet with clear, accurate information rather than panic. I provide regular photo and video updates throughout every stay so you're never left wondering. I'm responsive to messages and believe in over-communicating rather than under — especially for first-time clients who don't yet know my style. For pets that are anxious about new people, I take introductions slowly and follow the animal's lead rather than pushing for immediate interaction. Most animals settle quickly with calm, predictable energy.

“If I could give 10 stars I would! Elizabeth is absolutely amazing with pets and I highly recommend having her care for your pets. She was so engaging with all of my animals and sent pictures and updates, she’s incredibly kind and genuinely cares for your animals. She even came another time for me when I asked last minute and she was more than helpful to us. I am very grateful I found her and her services and will be using her again. Thank you so much Elizabeth!!!! ~Alyssa, Ben, Lili, Max and Lana <3”

About: I have been taking care of animals for majority of my life, where I had Labs, English Springer Spaniels, many cats, and ferrets. During high school, I had two jobs that related to animal care, where I had worked at a dog walking place, and a Veterinary Hospital. During my time at the dog walking place, where I worked there during the summer of 2023, 2024, and 2025 I had walked dogs, taught them basic commands, and much more. At the Veterinary Hospital, I mainly helped with cleaning, although when needed, I helped restrain animals, distract them when getting vaccines, and much more. I am also a certified veterinary assistant. Lastly, during my high school career, where my high school had an Agri-Science program, I had helped with cleaning animal cages of many species, such as ferrets, birds, chinchillas, rabbits, and much more, along with running their doggy daycare. I am a current college student, so I am not available Monday- Thursday, due to classes. Although, I am willing to walk dogs Friday afternoon anytime after 3, Saturdays, and Sundays! At home, I have 4 cats and 2 dogs, so if your pet has any history of potentially having behavioral issues, let me know to make sure they are safe!

“Jasmine was great and helped us out in a pinch this weekend. She sent a couple pictures and was responsive to our questions and comments! We definitely would hire her again!”

Sarah P.

“Thank you Cody for taking care of our crazy GSD and Fanny. Cody was very patient and accommodating with our needs and dog sitting in our place very last minute, we appreciate your flexibility and fun photo updates throughout the day! Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I will take care of yours as they were my own. I love being outdoors so they won’t ever be bored. I will make sure your pup is taken care of while you are away, I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving them so I will send updates and pics to put you at ease if needed. I will adhere to rules and training that you are working on with the dog. I will ask questions to see what exactly you and they need. If needing overnight care you can be assured I will look after them and they will not be lonely. We will socialize and play until it’s time for them to go home. I can’t wait to meet all of the new paws! I work part time and very flexible. Off sat-Monday and during the week I’m off at two! I walk my dog everyday after work and we love going to places where he can run around and have some fun! My dog is a part of my family. He has a very comfortable life and his choice of space on the couch. We go for walks everyday and he loves playing in the yard
