House Sitting Gardiner

“Excellent, excellent care for lots of random critters with an absent minded human on not much notice.”

About: I've taken care of dogs in their own homes while I was in undergrad. I've enjoyed taking them for walks and playing with them. I currently own 2 cats and know how to take care of cats well. I'm currently going to grad school and have openings before and after classes during the weekdays and all day during weekends to check-in on cats or dogs. I am able to play and take care of animals within their own homes. I can bring in mail, water plants, and keep your house in good shape during my check-ins as well.

“Christi was a terrific house/pet sitter for us. She sent daily updates of activities and pictures of our cat, Lucy, and young golden retriever, Pepper. Pepper is a bit of a handful and Christi spent a lot of time with her on walks, car rides and clicker training. We really appreciated her efforts. The daily communications reassured us that our pets were in good hands. It was nice to see how Lucy snuggled right up to her. We were greeted by happy pets on our return and a tidy house. We highly recommend Christi for a pet sitter.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and small animals for three years now. I also have experience with housesitting and babysitting. I work two 12 hour day shifts a week. I am currently working part time two 12 hour days. Dogs go out before I go to work and after. On my days off I am able to spend more time with them. I cannot offer pet sitting in my home at this time. I have three years of house/dog sitting experience as well as cats. I am able to stay at the clients place as needed for pet care.

About: I have always had dogs and love walking and playing with them. I always share a special bond with dogs, they are so friendly and comforting. My mom used to have her own doggy day care business and train dogs. I would love to meet new friendly faces and get to know your dogs. I believe that once I get to know your little pup, we will have a lovely time together. I have mostly had collies and shelties and currently I also have a pitbull/boxer mix. If your dog need meds, I have given plenty to other dogs in the past. I am very good at keeping dogs occupied and busy while having a good time too. I believe that if you give me a chance, your dog and I will have great times together going for walks and playing. I’m a teacher so this summer of ‘22 I am looking to have this as my full time job! I think that would be so much fun and the perfect fit for me and my schedule as I am very flexible! I love having toys around that my dogs love to use. I usually put my dogs closed in separate rooms during the day when we are gone. I would make sure all the dogs/pets would be as open or as separated as you’d like. Every dog is unique in their needs.

“We had such a great experience with Rebecca and felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were being so well cared for while we were away. She was incredibly attentive, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, you could tell she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like they were her own. They were happy, comfortable, and well loved when we got home. It means so much to be able to leave your pets with someone you can trust, and we would absolutely have her watch them again. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs for over 8 years, both in my home and out of owners' homes. Neighbors, colleagues, friends and family have relied on me to give their dogs a safe and happy experience while they are away. I live next to many trails and enjoy taking dogs on walks and adventures, and cuddling with them in my cozy apartment. I can bathe and brush and give any medicine. I can also go to other people's homes and take care of their cats. I am available for boarding after 4:00pm on weekdays and all weekends and holidays. My summer schedule is part-time. My schedule is flexible to accommodate your dog’s needs. I live in a quiet apartment next to many trails and a river. I can crate your dog if needed and they are welcome on the furniture. I have a quiet cat who loves dogs.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. From yorkies, to our alaskan malamute, and many shelter dogs, I have seen it all. I have been working professionally with dogs for around a year now. I worked in a doggy daycare setting for 6 months, and have been working at a shelter ever since! These experiences have given me knowledge in how to better understand body language, social cues, behaviors, and fear free handling. Even before professional experience, I have been one of the primary caretakers to our family dogs, medicating, feeding, training, etc, is no foreign task to me:) I understand how stressful it is to trust a random person to take care of your animals, but I promise to care for your animal with the same patience, attention, and love, I give my own:) I currently have a completely open schedule, so I’m available most days and times! Whether you need early mornings, evenings, weekends, or last minute care, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that means long walks around the neighborhood, playtime in the yard, sticking to a feeding schedule, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship and cuddles, I’ll make sure they’re cared for exactly the way you would. I’m familiar with the surrounding areas and love spending time outdoors, so your pup will get plenty of exercise and enrichment. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress free experience so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring and dependable hands.

“Sarah was super with Cally. I came home to a happy pup! I loved the photos and good communication while I was away.”

About: Every animal has a story. Mine began long before I ever thought of pet care as a service — it began with connection. From the shy pup curled in the corner to the elderly dog whose slow steps spoke of trust earned, I’ve learned that every animal communicates in its own language of wagging tails, soft purrs, and trusting eyes. Over decades, I’ve walked alongside puppies discovering grass for the first time and supported senior dogs whose gentle steps reflect a lifetime of loyalty. With every house sit, I’m not just caring for pets — I’m honoring the bond you share with them, giving reassurance through consistent routines, heartfelt playtimes, and quiet moments of comfort. What sets me apart is not only my experience but my ability to read body language, anticipate needs, and bring peace of mind to both pets and their humans. Pets are the rhythm of my day — they shape my mornings with excitement and my evenings with calm connection. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to be present for walks when the air is crisp, for quiet cuddle time when hearts need soothing, and for check-ins that give owners peace of mind. I simply ask for a day’s notice so I can plan the best moments with your beloved companion. Your pet’s safety is my promise. In my one-story home filled with warmth and gentle energy, two rescue cats have taught me the art of patience, play, and respect for personal space. Our quiet neighborhood offers leash-friendly strolls and ample paths to explore at a comfortable pace. I ensure a calm, structured, and loving environment that supports routine, comfort, and trust.

“Shae was a wonderful dog sitter for our senior pup. It was clear that our dog Chloe loved her and that Shae is a natural animal lover which makes it so much nicer when we go away! She wasn’t intimidated by her lengthy medication schedule and took great care of our pup and our home so we’d absolutely book her again!”

“Ievet was fantastic! Took great care of my house and my dog and my plants! Highly recommend! Without a doubt the best sitter I’ve ever had from Rover!”

Nick V.

“Excellent! My pups were in great hands. They were very comfortable and happy the entire week we were gone. Excellent communication with quick responses. Sent lots of photos and updates. I would definitely recommend and will be booking again.”

About: Hi! I’m Quincy! I’m a reliable, active pet sitter with lifelong experience caring for animals. I specialize in dogs and cats and treat every pet like part of the family. I’ve lived with animals my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, rats, snakes, frogs, and ferrets. I understand that pets thrive on routine, attention, and trust, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m very comfortable with cats who are playful, cuddly, shy, independent, or even a bit aggressive, and I respect their boundaries while making sure they’re safe and well cared for. I have experience with multi-cat households and understand that not all cats want constant interaction. I live an active lifestyle and love giving dogs the exercise and enrichment they need through walks, playtime, and attention. I’m also happy to provide calm companionship, routine care, and plenty of affection when wanted. I’m available after work and on weekends and am known for being punctual, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. I can take care of pets after work and am free on weekends. I live an active lifestyle and look forward to giving your pets as much exercise as they need! I create a fun, friendly, safe environment for your pet so they barely even notice you’re away! If they need exercise, training reinforcement, or cuddles, I’m there for them!

“Our vacation got extended due to unforeseen circumstances and Richard was able to fit us in for a couple extra days with minimal notice. Our fur monsters are always well cared for and it was a relief to not have to worry about them.”

“Courtney is the best sitter we have ever had. She takes great care of our digs, is responsive, pleasant and super helpful! Thank you Courtney!”

Justine, Craig, and Sarai L.

“Vickie sent us lots of photos of our fur babies and asked clarifying questions about one of their meds which I greatly appreciated! (It's not your typical sit). We will hire her again when we need someone we trust to care for our cats, administer meds, and give insulin to one of them!”
