House Sitting in Galloway

“Laurinda did a great job with an overnight stay for our pups. She was prompt, reliable, and did a great job communicating with us. Our home was exactly how we left it :)”

“Holly is absolutely amazing with our dogs! They love her and she loves them! She takes lots of photos for us during her stay. She sends updates and is a pure delight to have at our home! We consider her family now. ☺️”

“Stephanie is AMAZING!! She treated our shih tzu squad like the little kings and queen they think they are ☺️ she gave multiple updates and was very responsive. She is so kind and a pleasure to host in our home! Highly recommend and will be booking in the future!!”

“Cody was amazing! It was his first time w our two dogs. One is a senior Pom mix on insulin and one is a puppy, Bernese Mountain dog. He came over twice before he was actually here staying at our house, for 1 week. Our dogs immediately loved him. We taught him how to give the shots to our senior dog and he did great! He kept in constant communication w texts and pics. We will get him again and continue to utilize him, as he was awesome!”

“Jessie was AMAZING! my 2 dogs got more love and attention while we were gone than they do when we’re home! She even left special baked treats for my daughters to give them when we got home, she took great care of our home, and the place was spotless when we got back. I will definitely reach out to her next time!”

“I had Megan stay at my home for 4 days to watch my dog. She did an amazing job, my dog might like her more now than me. Lol. I will definitely use Megan again, she is very trustworthy, she loves dogs and she is an overall great person.”

“Rachel took great care of our huskies and our house. We were so appreciative of the photos and updates during our vacation. The dogs were happy to see us, but were very chill and pretty calm when we got home, unlike after their kennel stays. We will be booking Rachel's services again! Thanks Rachel.”

“Alexis was perfect! I will definitely rebook for any services needed in the future🥰”

“First time using the Rover app to find a dog sitter. Also, first time having anyone stay in my home. Ashley put me at ease and was truly amazing! She took great care of my giant fur baby. I really appreciate that she kept in contact and sent pics each day. I would definitely recommend her and hope she will house sit for us again in the future.”

“She did a great job. The dogs loved her. I definitely will be using her services again.”

“I have used Rachel a few times with my babes. She is very reliable and my dogs adore her. I have no worries when she is taking care of them while I travel. She is also very good about last minute needs. She is able to give medication as well as handle very large dogs. If you are wondering if you should hire her, I would not hesitate.”

“Anna took great care of my dogs while I was away! She updated me frequently and let me know when she was dropping in to visit. I highly recommend her!”

“Kristin did an amazing job watching my two pups. Appreciated the regular pictures and updates while out of town. My pups truly seemed to enjoy their time with Kristin.”

“Samantha’s great with pets & especially with dogs of any breed, temperament, age or size. She loves and respects animals and their owners. Her friends and family call on her first to pet sit because she is a natural with animals. Samantha can be trusted with your fur baby.”

“My dogs were well cared for and happy with Justina”

“Samantha was a great sitter and our boys were really well taken care of and happy. She sent us daily pictures and was very responsive to texts. The house was very clean when we returned as well. You could tell that she cleaned up after our boys as they shed a lot and one poops outside the litter box. Would highly recommend Samantha and will hire her again in the future.”

“Allana was great at communicating what my pups were doing everyday and they really seemed to like her.”

“Katelynn has been my dog sitter for 3 years now. She is honest caring dependable. My dog loves when she comes. Katelynn has followed every rule that I have for my dog which includes walking the dog, clean up after her, my dog gets fed twice a day if Katelynn is there at either time she is responsible for making sure she is fed. My dog loves to play fetch with a ball with her. Katelynn has even given my dog a bath, dry her off and comb her fur when my dog needed it.”

About: **Please note: Currently accepting bookings through May 1st** I've been my neighbors and friends go-to pet sitter for decades, and have had my own furry family members for the past 12 years. My experiences range from multi-dog and multi-animal homes, cats, small caged animals, senior dogs, dogs with behavioral challenges, and puppies! I'm a dog dad with a big heart for furry friends. I've had excellent experiences with Rover sitters for my own puppy and am excited to meet your dog and provide similarly caring, patient, and fun experiences for your four-legged family members! I have trained each dog I've rescued and am currently training a puppy now. Maintaining a training routine and schedule is important for dogs (puppies and their older companions!), and I believe "puppy care" is about much more than frequent bathroom trips. So if you want to add on training maintenance for your pup (no matter the age), I can provide structured training walks, socialization outings, and daily training sessions for visits or stays. I'm a PhD student so I have a LOT of flexibility in my schedule. Except for when I teach, I work and write from home so I will be able to provide your pup with the care and attention they need -- and can reasonably adjust my schedule so it matches with the typical structure you provide your pup. This includes maintenance of your dog's typical schedule and structure. I have a large, fenced-in yard (6' privacy fence; jumpers are safe!) so your pup will have all the casual outdoor time they need and/or want, and live around the corner from a walking/bike trail for daily walks. My home is entirely dog-friendly w/ extra rooms if your dog does better with introverted nap/sleep time, and I will crate them if they are typically crated. On the other hand, my furniture has been given "4+ paws" from furry friends who are allowed on furniture, including a comfy, king-sized bed if your doggo is used to sleeping with a human. I have a 9 month old puppy who has learned his social manners and loves making new friends. He loves to share his energy, attention, and toys -- and is respectful if your dog prefers their space or takes their time warming up to others.

“I've known Joanna for 15 years and highly recommend her as a pet sitter. In the time that I've known her, Joanna has been a foster mom for many different types of dogs. Most of the dogs she fostered had "quirks" and Joanna was happy to help everyone of them. She follows directions very well and is confident in medicating, feeding specific foods, and following a schedule. She has experience with reactive dogs, medically needy dogs, and dogs who require crate-and-rotate. All of my dogs have liked Joanna and I think your dog will, as well.”
