House Sitting Gilberton

“This was my first experience with Lisa and she was wonderful! We set up a meet and greet many months ago and she and Buster hit it off right away. A few weeks before the trip, she reached out again to remind her of where to find stuff and remind Buster of who she was, and again went great. My dog can be a pill especially when walking, he is very reactive to cars and some dogs on walks, so I suggested that she not walk him, so she isn't hurt. She messaged me saying Buster was ancy and asked if she could take him for a short walk and that she had experience walking reactive dogs before, so I said, Go for it! She reported back things went well and I agreed she can go ahead and walk him, which I'm sure really helped him a lot. (My last dog sitter was a friend who really wasn't that experienced with dogs and very petite, so it was just better to not go). After the successful walks, she asked if she could take him with her on some errands, and I said sure, but warned her he will bark at anything that moves so can be a pain. She went ahead and said it went well. From there she continued the walks and took him to the beach too, which he loves! Both my dog and my house were in perfect condition when I returned. I very much appreciated the attention and care she provided for my dog, and that she asked permission before going against my instruction. She also sent daily photos of their adventures and snuggles. I would absolutely recommend Lisa and am very happy to have someone I can trust for future needs. Thank you Lisa!!!”

“Hallie is a senior lab very attached to me so can be challenging to sit for in my absence. Even though Chloe just met her, I was very pleased to return home to a happy and healthy girl who obviously did just fine and must have enjoyed her time with Chloe.”

“James did a great job caring for my girls and keeping in contact as needed.”

“Cara is lovely to work with and so communicative! Our critters were in great hands with her and she took great care of our home while we were away.”

About: I have many years of experience housesitting for quite a few families for the past few years until they moved out of state. I am very reliable, responsible, punctual, clean, and most of all respectful and loving. If you’re looking to enjoy your time away and not to be overly stressed about the care of your furry family members, then I’m the girl for the job. I am currently working full-time as a family crisis counselor, but that allows me to have flexibility in my schedule because it’s client based, so whether you need me to come in between clients or to stay during the week or weekends, I can accommodate. I am not allowed to have pets in my house where I rent so it would have to be in your home. I am very clean and respectful of other people spaces as I would expect the same.

“Cassie came to walk and feed Stella as planned, and sent regular updates as well as taking out the trash for us and generally checking on the house. Stella was very comfortable!”

“Cely and Jordan took amazing care of Ruby and our house while we were out of the country for a week. We appreciated their regular communication through the app because we didn't have cell service, and when we got back Ruby was clearly comfortable with them and being her playful self. They also watered our yard to keep our plants alive and left the house tidy. We'd recommend them to anyone and would definitely work with them again!”

“Brian and Katherine are both fantastic! My dogs love seeing them and I feel confident in their abilities to look after them well. They are great with communication and super reliable. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for a second.”

“Amber did a wonderful job of taking care of our dogs and house! We will definitely use her services again! Our dogs were happy and our house was clean when we got home. :)”

About: I connect with pets in a playful way so they have a fun and enjoyable experience, feel less lonely, and are excited and engaged during their day. I am retired and play pickleball regularly, which leaves me with plenty of time throughout the day to care for your pet while you’re away. I will visit your pet in your home, feed and play with them, give them their meds and keep them company. I will walk your dog so they can explore and engage in their surroundings.

“Ashanta was wonderful! She sent lots of pictures of Arthur and kept me informed of things at all times. I have a senior dog and worry a lot, but did not worry at all and was able to concentrate on my work. She is very responsible and conscientious too!”

About: I have been pet sitting professionally for three years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks and lizards. I am comfortable working with dogs of all sizes from 130+ lb livestock guardian breeds to 5 lb chihuahuas. I have experience working with dogs with behavioral challenges like resource guarding and anxiety. I have over three years of experience with positive reinforcement training and I am currently working on a certification program to become a horse trainer. I would love to keep up your dog's training while you are gone and work with you to support any current training or management plans. I am patient and I love to work with puppies (and kittens) and adolescent dogs. I have 9 years of experience volunteering at a horse barn. I am comfortable working with horses and other livestock animals. I have experience giving oral medication and all the day to day care a horse requires. I am currently pet sitting full time. My schedule is flexible and I am happy to accommodate your pet's needs and routine. Let me know how much alone time your pet is comfortable with. I always follow instructions and management plans to the letter. I don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or clarifications as needed. Your pets safety and happiness is my top priority.

“Watson settled right in with Krista. He had lap time with her and she took him for a walk, which makes her an all-star🙌🏻. We will be using her again!”

“I have never had to find a new person to watch my dog before and it was my first time using Rover. I chose Valerie based off her reviews, experience with senior and anxious dogs, and availability. I think she should add anxious humans to that as well because she did an amazing job with communicating while I was away as well as assuring me that Ollie was well taken care of. I booked her for an overnight stay so that my dog had someone with her while I was out of town. I got lots of updates and photos about how my dog was doing and she was extremely flexible with adjusting her care based off of her needs. I had to be away from home for the 4th of July and I'm very happy with having Valerie there to make sure my dog was safe and comfortable. She even provided some extra treats and calming chews to help when the fireworks started. I'm very grateful for the valuable care she was able to provide and plan to book with her again.”

“We were so lucky to find Leah. Exceptionally trust worthy and gave my Leo the best love and care! Frenchie’s need special care and anxiety support when we travel and Leo was so chilled when we returned!”

“Adam was very good at communicating what was going on with the puppies and his when he would be coming and going, which was much appreciated. He also overcame Rues initial resistance to a stranger in the house with a lot of patience with her (she was being a bit of a snot), and by the end of day one they were best buds. Highly recommend.”

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I regularly walked dogs and pet sat for neighbors, gaining experience caring for pets of all different personalities and energy levels. Later in life, I was a proud cat dad and beagle dad for many years. Having been a pet parent myself, I understand just how much our animals mean to us and how important it is to know they're in good hands. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means going on long walks, playing outside, or just relaxing on the couch with a furry friend. I'm an active, outdoorsy person who loves hiking and exploring, so I'm always happy to give energetic pups plenty of exercise and attention. At the same time, I'm just as happy providing a calm, comfortable environment for pets who prefer a slower pace. I miss having pets of my own, and I'm excited for the opportunity to share that love and affection with yours! My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. I'm new to the Seattle area and currently have plenty of free time and flexibility in my schedule! I do other part-time work that allows me to set my own hours, so it's easy for me to plan my days around pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. Whether your pet needs some company during the workday, a regular walking buddy, or extra attention while you're away, I'm happy to accommodate a variety of schedules. One of the things I'm most excited about as I settle into the area is making some new furry friends, and I'd love to make caring for your pets a regular part of my routine! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a former dog and cat parent myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I gave my own, while respecting their individual personalities, routines, and needs. Whether I'm stopping by for a visit, taking your pup on a walk, or staying in your home, I do my best to keep your pets feeling safe, comfortable, and loved. I always follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to exercise routines and any special care requirements. On walks, I'm attentive to my surroundings, use secure leashes, and prioritize your dog's safety over anything else. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I understand that I'm also being trusted with your home. I'll always treat your space with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure everything is secure when I leave. I'm also happy to send regular photo updates and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands! Above all, I want your pets to feel like they're spending time with a trusted friend, not a stranger. Whether that means an exciting walk, some energetic playtime, or simply a little extra love and companionship, I'm happy to give them the love and care that they need!

“This was my first experience with Rover and actually my first time being away from my dog Niko. I was so fortunate to have Amanda accept the house sitting and dog watching opp! Could tell right away that she's a kind and honest person and perfect to spend some time with Niko. Amanda's communication was top-notch and she answered all of my questions. During her time with Niko she sent me lots of photos and videos of all the adventures from the weekend! Niko split the time between Amanda's house and mine and when I got home the house was super clean. Amanda went above and beyond and I look forward to working with her again. Niko def misses her and the weekend experiences.”

“Sarah was great with my new puppy. When I originally booked I had a senior dog as well, and unfortunately I had to put him down the day that Sarah was arriving. She was understanding, and flexible with my time change, and kindly provided a refund since she would only be watching one dog. She communicated very well while we were away and kept me updated with pictures. She was also flexible when we ended up coming home a few hours later than originally scheduled. She stayed in our home with our puppy and I would not hesitate to use her again.”

“Branden is great. He is very communicative, punctual and respectful. He found dog tv for my dog. He handled sudden requests, like please get my mail-I forgot to ask- very pleasant the whole time. First time I ever had someone stay in my house. I am very private, a bit eccentric, -Brendan made me very comfortable. I never stressed once while gone which was 10 days. Brendan took care my 1 dog and 2 cats. I would recommend and rebook”
