House Sitting in Geneva

“Andrea was great with my dog! I felt he was in good hands the entire time I was away. She communicated well and sent tons of pictures! I will definitely be rebooking with her for future dog sitting needs.”

Alyssa S.

“Destiny was an amazing sitter and house guest! Our old boy, Blue, loved her from the moment he met her. She stayed in our home for 16 days and not only took incredible care of Blue, sending regular updates and pics/videos, but she went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, watering plants and even cleaned the house before she left, leaving us a sweet note. She was communicative, professional, and has a high level of attention to detail. We will 100% be using her services again!”

Kimberly B.

“Pamela is so sweet and caring with our boys! Very attentive and sends frequent updates. We never have to worry about our babies when she is there with them.”

Angela I.

“She came to my place to meet and greet my girl. Very kind and friendly she warmed right up to her. During the week, she was very responsive and updated me when I asked.”

Tiffany S.

“Jordan was wonderful with our pups! They loved her and she took great care of them. She stayed at our house for us because let’s face it, our pups are spoiled and don’t spend the night alone. She even extended her stay for me when I had to switch my flight to the next day! Highly recommend Jordan!”

Bobbi J.

Michael F.

“Ashley was great at sending us daily updates and photos of our elderly cat while we were travelling for 2 weeks. She stayed overnight in our home, spent time with our cat, brought in packages and mail and kept our home orderly which we greatly appreciated. She is a great communicator and very trustworthy. We would highly recommend her. Thank you Ashley!”

Elizabeth W.

“Thank you so much for taking care of Linka with such care! It’s really nice to have someone to be able to count on. Will definitely ask for help again in the future.”

Anastasia E.

“Kaia was absolutely fabulous. She treated our fur baby as if he was hers. She sent us tons of videos and pictures. Communication was wonderful and we felt very comfortable with her staying in our home. We will certainly be using Kaia in the future and would recommend her to others as well. ☺️”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. Whether that being my own animals or people hiring me to pet sit for them. I am currently working part time while in school. My classes are currently online and my job should let me know my schedule ahead of time so I know when I'm available for your fur babies. I am very responsible and nothing bad has ever happened while pet sitting, but if a problem were to arrive I am an excellent problem solver.

“Brianna is amazing! She was so mindful in taking pictures and videos of our sweet boy while we were gone for the day. She was excellent in taking care of him and he truly loves her. I would 100% book with her again!!!”

About: I've been caring for pets since I was 15, helping family and friends with everything from daily walks to giving medications. I’m confident with all aspects of pet care—feeding, bathing, playing, and making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. I treat every animal like they’re my own, with patience, reliability, and lots of belly rubs. Whether it’s a quiet cuddle or an energetic walk, I adapt to your pet’s needs and routines to keep them happy and healthy. I work part-time at the hospital just two days a week and the rest of my time is focused on nursing school, which offers flexibility in my schedule. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and find relaxing, so I make time for it throughout the week. Whether it’s early morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening check-ins, I plan my day to make sure pets in my care get the attention, love, and consistency they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always aim to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow the pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, walking, and administering medications on schedule. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and preferences, whether that’s extra playtime, a cozy cuddle, or just some quiet companionship. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and tidy, just like they left it. I send regular updates and photos so owners feel connected and reassured. My goal is to make each pet feel secure and loved while their owner is away.

About: I have gained hands-on experience through volunteering and training at animal shelters, where I provided care for dogs of all ages and activity levels. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, and administering basic care. In addition, I have worked as a vet assistant, assisting in medical procedures, providing post-care, and ensuring pets' well-being. This combination of shelter and veterinary experience has equipped me with the skills needed to care for a variety of pets and address their individual needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s morning playtime, midday potty breaks, or evening cuddles, I always set aside time to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. On weekends, I love doing longer walks or fun activities like fetch in the yard. It’s not just a task—it’s something I look forward to because caring for animals makes my day better too! At home, I ensure pets have a comfortable and safe environment to enjoy both inside and outside. I have a fenced backyard where they can get some fresh air and have free playtime while staying within the security of the house environment. Inside, they have ample space to roam around freely and safely, giving them the chance to explore and relax. I keep a routine of providing regular exercise, play, and interaction to keep them happy and engaged.

“Daniela was a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to give us peace of mind when we needed it most. She took great care of our dogs, and our home. With daily touch points, and pictures, there was very little to worry about. Would highly recommend her services to others for all of their pet needs.”

About: I have experience taking care of bigger and smaller dog breeds. Walking them is no issue, I can handle with confidence 2 or less at a time, and make a point to clean up after them. I have a degree in Computer Science & Game Development, and try to work from home. This means my availability is pretty good; roughly 3 to 4 full days a week I can work around. I have found that certain brands of dog food are vastly superior to others, and that many owners overfeed their pets, so I try to stay aware of that with the pets I take care of. I have also had to clean up after animals many times in the past, and have as such, learned to not take it personally, and gotten pretty good at it. Also when it comes to keeping dogs active, I try to walk them regularly; run with them if I can, and play Fetch or tug of war with them if they're still energetic whilst under my care.

“Stayed with my girls while in Ohio ❤️”

“Stephanie is so thoughtful and caring. She showed our dogs loads of love and sent regular updates during her stay at our house. We love her and will definitely have her again!”

About: I have spent many years volunteering at a wolf rescue. 12 years spent locally fostering and foster fails which we have adopted into our home. All breeds I have experience with and even fish and small animals. I have to add this notice so new customers understand something. I am alerted to, and respond to, and answer all questions and requests in about a minute 24/7. When you have a question I answer it quickly. So please hold off on your questions after 9:00 pm and before 7:00 am, I need my beauty rest. I am up early each day, (by 7:00 am) to take care of your questions and requests. Drop off and pick up hours are 7:00 am to 8 pm for drop off, and to 9 pm for pickup. Rover may be contacted 24/7 (888) 453,7889. Also dogs must be crate trained, and dog friendly, they are crated at night and during drop off and pick ups, or meet and greets, for any other guests to prevent escapes or any possible bad interactions. Because I am looking for you at your appointed time, I can no longer accept appointments that span an hour or two, or even 30 minutes (Your doctor or dentist doesn't accept that either.) I can't do any thing else if I am looking for you, and if I get several drop off and pick ups a day each wanting hours I spend most of my day staring at the driveway. Therefore specify the "SPECIFIC" time that you know you can be here, not a range of time, of when you might feel like getting here. You can always text with a request for a time change, just please do it ahead of time, instead of when you're already late and my time has been wasted, and the other guests have been unnecessarily crated, while waiting for your arrival. If you specify a time range for either drop off or pick up I will assume that you would like me to choose what works best for me and I will specify a specific time for you. I have found the least amount of confusion and barking for the dogs that may already be here, and easiest drop off and pick up for the client is to meet you in the driveway. Text me with your ETA and I will be looking for you and I will come out to get your dog from you in the driveway, and bring them back out to you in the driveway. Knocking on the door results in overexcited and barking dogs and I don't bring dogs thru the front door anyway. Dogs are brought out to the back yard to settle down and have potty time before going inside to meet any others that may be here, one at a time. I keep my dogs free of fleas and ticks with monthly flea prevention. I expect dogs coming here are clean and free of fleas. When you bring a dog with fleas it could infect my entire house and I have to flea bathe your dog and spray my entire house to be sure other clients don't get fleas. This is time consuming and expensive, so be sure your dogs don't bring fleas here. I also expect your dog to be clean, odor free and free of ticks, accepting a stay here means you accept the fact that you will be billed for a bath that is needed, if they arrive here in need of one. You dog will be on my furniture and living in my house and I will not have dirty smelly dogs doing that. I also expect the dog to have a proper fitting collar in which I can place a temporary ID tag with my information. They should also have a leash so I can bring them back out to you, at pickup time. I accept meet and greet requests but do not require them. Your itinerary will show my address and contact information after we have set up a stay or meet and greet. Please specify date and time you request so I can approve it. That's the best way to meet me and check out my place, as the site will send us both each other's information by viewing the itinerary. You will receive my address and phone number that way, and I will be given your phone number. You can see my location by looking for "Bruce's Neighborhood" on my profile page. I am very close to the Oviedo High School, and Lawton elementary schools. When making any request for either Daycare or Boarding include in the comments, what your needed drop off, and pick up times will be. I need to be prepared for your arrival and need it for calendar scheduling, and proper price quoting. If your stay is more than, even 24 hour days, like an early drop off one day and a late pick-up the next day, let me know what you need and request an adjusted price. My boarding rates are based on a 24 hour day not 36 hours. I will be happy to watch your dog for 36 hours or whatever you need but you will receive an additional charge for the additional time. I tried watching puppies but have come to realize that because they demand so much attention, that it takes away from the time I need to spend with the other guests, therefore in fairness to all the dogs that I board, I have sadly have come to the decision that it is not fair to my other guests, to spend all my time with one puppy, and therefore must decline accepting any more puppies. I need to spend time with all guests not just one demanding puppy. Compare what I offer to the others. Retired and home full time, not gone to work like most people. Huge backyard with a safe and secure vinyl privacy fence, (check out the pictures). (Dogs have plenty of room to run and play, and stay on my property, I don't take dogs out on a leash and take a chance of escape or being attacked, safety is my first priority.) A large home not an apartment. Fifty plus years working with and training dogs. Who else offers all this, and I am still very competitively priced. Dogs are normally allowed to run free in the house and share the furniture with me, but are crated at night when I sleep and unable to watch them, to prevent any problems and to keep them safe. They are let out early each morning and allowed to roam the house and use the doggy door again. I have been working with dogs for over fifty years and presently do volunteer training at a local dog rescue. I am very familiar of how to care for your dog, and know your dog will be happy in my home and large fenced back yard. I have two small friendly dogs for them to play with, if they like that. I am retired and home almost always, my wife may watch the dogs if I have to step out for a short time. To make sure you dog is safe while under my care, they will be provided a clean bed and crate for night time when everyone should be asleep, just to be sure there is nothing happening that would be unsafe for them. I don't know any better way to insure their safety if I am asleep and not able to be watching them, be suspicious of anyone that claims to never crate your dog. When I wake up early, they are free to go outside or enjoy the house and furniture. You can leave your dogs here with complete confidence that a very experienced handler, and dog lover will be looking after them. Drop off and Pick up times flexible. If you're looking for the best place for your dog, and the best deal going, you just found it. Keep in mind a day is 24 hours. An early drop off on one day, and late pickup the following day is not a day and will have an upcharge. For that reason and for scheduling, please state your drop off and pick up times when requesting your boarding days. At the same time, a drop off and pick up that spans 2 days but is only 24 hours is only charged as one day, not two, like at some boarding places. One final note: I do not accept recurring bookings. I will refuse any such requests. Each booking must have a starting and ending date and time. I will allow you to make multiple bookings even months in advance to accomplish the same thing, but I need to be sure I am available for each booking, before I can accept it. A single booking can be multiple days or even weeks long, but it has to have a starting and ending date and time. I just can't promise availability on a forever basis. ******************* OPTIONAL READING ********************** What to look for in a new pet care giver.Find someone that sends pictures to you multiple times a day, and to 100% of the clients, like I do. Find someone with decades of dog experience and dog training experience, I have 27 years. Find someone that has a fully fenced secure backyard with dense grass, not dirt, like my yard, that has a nice 6 foot vinyl fence and thick Zoysia grass . Find someone in a real home not an apartment that may not even be on the ground floor, my home is spacious and has a doggy door for your dog. Find someone that will provide the bowls, crates, beds, and toys, so all you need to bring is the dog and their food, like at my house. You can bring any item you like as I know having their bed or toys can help them feel more at ease. Find someone that will not mix your small dog with large or giant size dogs, I take small and medium size and large for your dogs safety. Find someone that understands the importance to properly introduce the dogs to each other, and the training to do so, before allowing play together, like I do. Find someone that has an average response time of under 1 minute to answer your texts or questions, and has a 100% response rate, like my response time, and rate. Find someone that limits the number of dogs taken in, to be sure that all dogs taken in are properly taken care of, like I do. Find someone that will place all your things together and take inventory of whatever you may have brought to be sure, you go back home with everything you came with. Find someone that does not have a pool if your dog is not used to being around one and your concerned about falling in, my yard is only grass, no dangerous pool. Find someone that has no cats or large dogs if your dog is not used to that, I have 7 dogs 2 smaller and 5 larger Who are my helper dogs. (16) Find someone that sends pictures several times each day, like I do. Note: If you found all these things in one place congratulations, you just found me. I know of no other place that can make all these claims, and still be very reasonably priced. I am up by 5am to take your calls and receive your pet for boarding or daycare. I receive dogs until 8pm and allow pickup until 9pm. I expect a text with your ETA before arrival, so I can meet you out front or in the driveway to take care of your pet needs. I have a fenced yard and only will do long walks at owner request as off leash dogs can act anyway. I have a huge well cared for backyard and a doggy door so dogs have plenty of time and space to get all the exercise they need. Dogs are normally free roaming during the daytime when I can watch them, but crated at night when sleeping for their safety. Pet care is a priority for myself and with my dogs and other small animals, I wake early to walk them and feed them because animals should be cared for as well as we care for ourselves and children. I care for all pets as if they are my own. Whatever needs your animal has, it would be my pleasure to make sure that they keep their routines and stay as familiar with the day as possible while being cared for by myself. What is Required__ Flea & Tick: All dogs must be on flea and tick prevention. Please make sure you treat your pet now and continue monthly applications throughout the rest of the year. We have the right to refuse any dog that has a flea/tick infestation. Vaccinations: For the safety of your dog, it is vital that he/she be current on all vaccines. Having your pet vaccinated is the best and least costly way of preventing disease. Without proper vaccination, he/she will be left unprotected. Please bring a copy of latest vaccination records, either on the day of the meet and greet or the day you drop off. We will make a copy to keep for our records. Dog Profile: Make sure to fill out your dog's "Profile" on Rover so that we can have a better understanding of him/her. Give detailed feeding instructions. Provide emergency contacts and vet information, especially if you will not have phone service while on vacation. What to bring: Food, food bowl, collar, and vaccine record. Dog's regular food, enough food for the entire stay, and a little extra in case you have a flight delay, etc. Please do not switch his/her food a few days before coming to our home because changing the food abruptly can cause diarrhea in some dogs. Bring food bowl, we have plenty of water bowls. We have extras but prefer you to bring his/her regular food bowl. Dog collar with name & rabies tags is required __Things to Keep in Mind__ Meet & Greet: We always offer a free Meet & Greet to new potential clients. It gives everyone a chance to get to know each other and to see where your pup will be staying. It allows me to connect with your dog and make sure he/she has a successful stay with us. For those visiting out of town, we can communicate by phone and determine if this is the right place for your pup. Also, there are times when you have an emergency and are unable to do a meet and greet. We will try to do our best to accommodate if this happens. Spay/Neutered: It is highly recommended that all dogs be spayed and neutered due to the nature of the care we provide. We can not accept females during their heat cycle. Males that are intact and mark everywhere in our home or show possessive tendencies towards a particular dog will not be allowed back. Just to clarify-some male dogs may start sniffing around and might pee the first time they enter my home. In most cases, it only happens once and it is not a problem throughout the rest of the stay. Some females can also pee mostly from excitement this is also understandable. Most dogs that are neutered at a young age will rarely exhibit any marking or humping behavior. Pups do have accidents and that is not a problem. I always have bleach, urine remover, water and paper towels handy to clean up in such instances. Senior Dogs: We are happy to provide care for older dogs or those with special medical or health needs.
