House Sitting in Gordon Crossing

About: I have fostered for many animal shelters. I own 5 dogs, two cats, and two goats. I have a passion for working with animals, and give 110%. I have a full-time job Monday-Friday, I am available on the weekends and maybe and some evenings. I will do my best to make it work to fit your needs. I have experience walking, feeding, giving medicine. Making sure they have a safe walk and the best care is my number one priority. I will make them feel safe.

“Tyler was great with our dog Saxon. They seemed to really enjoy each others company. We would gladly have Tyler house/dog sit again. He was very pleasant, left the house in good shape and Saxon seemed sad to see him go.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and personalized care I give every pet. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies who need consistency, potty breaks, playtime, and basic routine reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may need a gentler pace, extra patience, medication support, or additional comfort. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents always know their furry family members are happy and well cared for. I’m able to help out on Monday-Friday or Saturdays and Sundays. Let me know what fits your needs and I will be more then happy to accommodate! I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Especially in their own home. I do not accept boarding as my currently home is renting.

“Tina was wonderful with our puppy. He had never had a pet sitter before, and she took excellent and loving care of him, with lots of play time, exercise, and even some training. He even cried when she left! We will definitely ask her to take care of him again.”

“Fantastic job taking care of our dog and cat. Both for walks and overnights. Followed our instructions and pets look well cared for. Definitely recommend.”

“Makalah is our first pet sitter from Rover. We hired her for house sitting so that she could care for our dog and cat in the comfort of their own home. We have had friends and family take care of the pets, but we’ve never had someone come spend the night. Makalah did an amazing job with both our pets. She bonded instantly with our cat and as she said, He’s my bestie! Our dog is 13 years old and requires more care, as he takes seizure medication three times a day. Makalah took on this responsibility and she made sure she let me know when she gave him his meds. Makalah’s communication with me throughout the day and night was great. She also sent pictures of both pets along with an update on how things were going. I am so glad I decided to take a chance with Rover and with Makalah. We will definitely be calling in her to care for our pets again.”

“Tiffanie was great. Even though last minute, she came to meet the dogs before her stay. She took great care of them, sent lots of pictures, was very communicative-commenting on each dog’s personality so you know that she’s spending time with them, and left our house in perfect condition.”

About: I absolutely love animals and have had them through out my entire life. I have experience from working at “Dogtopia” to “Home away from home, dog boarding”. I understand the importance of family and would love to be your dogs next best friend! I have experience providing care for a variety of animals, including feeding, grooming, and monitoring health. I am familiar with cleaning and sanitizing animal housing and equipment, and can recognize signs of illness or distress. By feeding, walks, and playtime—with my personal habits like breakfast, exercise, and evening relaxation it helps to create a consistent, healthy routine. My successful routine with my 12 year old senior terrier includes early morning engagement to set a positive tone, scheduled midday breaks or mental stimulation to combat boredom, and structured evening bonding that eases stress. I have a 12 year old friendly Emotional support animal named Flower, who still loves to run and play. I also live close to the park, and have a crate if needed.

About: I have been a dog and cat owner/lover/advocate my whole life. I miss having my own pets so much so I pet sit during our travels and while we are home too! I’m a massage therapist and energy worker so animals LOVE my touch and calming presence. I’m very active and love long walks. I’m totally comfortable with large dogs. I have retired early so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to travel to pet sits. I tend to do pet sitting in Florida during the months of January and February. I love having dogs and cats in my home. There is a little river behind my house and the national forest and Sherando Lake Recreation Area is just beyond the river so there’s lots of space for long walks. Pets will get lots of loving care, tons of cuddles, and undivided attention while under my care and I will walk for as long and far as your dog (or cat) wants to.

“Megan was spectacular, stepping in with very short notice to dog sit my puppy for a week when my original sitter canceled a few days before I left. She took very good care of my dog a provided some very cute photos of the fun they were having”
