Top rated Gough house sitters

“Kailyn was an awesome sitter! She was very attentive to the dogs. She also sent lots of pictures and kept me informed on everything that is happening. Will definitely be reaching out to her next time we need a pup sitter!”



“Megan was wonderful with our 2 large and rambunctious dogs! She kept them exercised and loved. One of our dogs is fairly skittish but he warmed up to her instantly. I loved getting pictures of them snuggling in the bed on a rainy morning.”


“Finding someone to care for our pets and home was genuinely was biggest concern prior to traveling. Gwen was a wonderful sitter and completely took my worries aways. Her attention to detail and flexibility calmed my demanding pets while we were away. I highly recommend Gwen to anyone looking for someone reliable that will ensure your fur babies are cared for, loved and safe. Thank you Gwen!”


“Sydney was very good and reliable. She communicated with me well. One of my dogs is very skittish with new people and he warmed right up to her. I’d definitely use her again on the future.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. My current calm & freely flowing lifestyle allows me to give them lots of love attention. Everyone who knows me jokes about me being the animal whisperer! In recent years I’ve regularly sat for two dogs (puppy and adult), as well as two kittens. Cats and dogs in my care are are well fed, played with, loved on, and taken for nice active walks. I hope to establish long term, reliable pet-sitting relationships so that I can really get to know the animals I care for and provide a trusted sitter for fellow fur-parents! I work from home and I'm an oil painter -- many of the pets I sit love to watch me paint and they're the best company ever. :) I’m a full-time student, so my availability varies throughout the day. Upon request, I can commit to visits between classes and overnight care. My nights are typically free. I am always willing to make exceptions for urgent requests, so just ask me in advance! Schedule in advance for overnight arrangements. I have a spacious, three bedroom home. I have plenty of yard space for fresh air in between walks. I occasionally sit for my mother’s dog, Coco, who makes a great playmate and napping buddy for your dog/cat too. My place has minimal furnishings or hard surfaces, so it is pet proof! I adhere to any provided feeding schedules and send frequent updates on how your pet is doing.

“Mariah did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away! She communicated clearly, sent regular updates, and really understood how to approach my shy cat. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”


“Tanée was amazing! I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a more than reasonably priced house/pup sitter. Not only did she look after my fur baby with the love and care she’d give her own animals, she also looked after my home and even did some cleaning! I’m so impressed with her work ethic and the amount of effort and energy she put into keeping me updated on my puppy’s wellbeing. She really was such a blessing to find! I’m definitely booking again with her. She clearly loves doing what she does. Thank you Tanée!!”


About: Growing up, our home was a joyful (and sometimes chaotic!) zoo of dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, and even the occasional rescue rabbit. My earliest memories are of curling up with our German Shepherd after school, sneaking bits of toast under the table, and learning—through muddy paws and tail wags—that animals aren’t just pets, they’re family. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to care for animals in every stage of life—from bottle-feeding newborn kittens to administering medication to sweet senior dogs with arthritis. I have a soft spot for rescues and shy animals who need a little extra time to trust. I’ve worked with high-energy breeds that thrive with structured walks and stimulation, as well as gentle couch potatoes who just want someone close by to snuggle. What truly sets me apart is my intuition and respect for each animal’s individuality. I don’t treat pet care like a checklist—I listen, observe, and adapt to what your pet needs. Is your dog a slow walker who likes to sniff every blade of grass? We’ll take our time. Do they need mental stimulation? Let’s puzzle it out together. Does your cat demand a very particular style of chin scratch? Challenge accepted. I’m also comfortable with basic training and reinforcing routines around crate time, leash etiquette, and mealtime manners. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels, because I know those subtle shifts matter. I’ve cared for pets with special diets, separation anxiety, allergies, and mobility issues—and I always treat these needs with the seriousness and compassion they deserve. To me, being a great pet sitter isn’t just about showing up on time—it’s about being fully present, fully invested, and truly loving what I do. I’m not just a caregiver—I’m your pet’s new best friend (and maybe their second-favorite human after you!). I work from home and make my own schedule so I build my days around your pets’ routines, not the other way around. I’m available for early morning walks, midday play breaks, or evening check-ins, and I pride myself on being reliable and responsive. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or your 9-to-5, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. Whether in your home or mine, I create a safe, loving, and peaceful environment. I follow your instructions closely, keep spaces tidy and pet-friendly, and maintain communication throughout. I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations, and I pay close attention to details—from locked gates to feeding routines. I have a fully-fenced, large yard for playtime and potty breaks, and there is no off-limits furniture for furry family members. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure, seen, and cared for.

About: Hi! I’m Hannah and have a little over 6 years experience with animals all of my previous jobs have been with animals mostly dogs and cats but I’ve cared for a few odd critters here and there.

“Carissa is the best sitter we could ever ask for! It was so relaxing to know our home and animals were perfectly taken care of while we were gone. She truly treated them like her own and we came back to a house even cleaner than we left it. I can’t recommend her enough!!”



“Valerie made the strongest connection with Lily on the first meeting. Her combining dog sitting and house sitting let us get away for a few days and enjoy a short vacation. She is knowledgeable, caring and trust worthy. I hope we will see her again in the future.”

About: Hi! I'm Michelle. I have over 29 years of experience in the field of veterinarian medicine, training and behavior modification. We offer overnight boarding as well as daycare for cats, dogs, and other pets. To prevent the spread of illness, we require that all pups be up to date on Rabies, Bordetella (kennel cough) and DHPP (parvo). In addition, cats should be current on Rabies and FeLv. Please send vaccine records to records@rufflanding (.com) We also ask that you provide your pets regular food, as sudden diet changes can upset their tummy. We have everything else they could possibly need! Our client service hours are: M-F 8-10AM & 3-6PM Sat & Sun 8-10AM We offer: Socialization, walks, friendly playmates, trips to the dog park if permitted, medication administration, constant potty breaks, photos and baths (upon request), and tons of affection! It's the next best thing to being home! Petcare is my full time business. I work from home sitting and boarding as well as hosting foster pets occasionally. Aside from dropping in on established pets or taking them on walks, I am home full time. We have a securely fenced yard and pets are constantly supervised when outside. We take potty breaks every 2 hours. We schedule socialization, enrichment and playtime activities to keep them busy and entertained.

About: Young professional who loves pets! I am a young man of God! I believe, me and the pets, share a common factor in love for Jesus Christ! I’m currently working part-time at a gas station. I work three days a week till 2:00pm. I advise just letting me know 1 day ahead and I will immediately let you know my availability for that week. I’m always available after 2:00pm! Update pictures will be constantly sent varying on sitting time. I'd also go with taking them for walks IF the owner wants that, keeping them on a leash at ALL TIMES while outside. I value being on time with their feeding, and feeding ONLY as much as the owner says to feed, and keeping the water bowl clean and fresh. I know temptation is to over-feed to 'make up for the owner's absence' but this is not good for the dogs, costs the owner more money in the long run and can mean they are greeted with vomit on the best chair or rug which none of us want! If I am staying at the house with the pets, I make sure the house is clean and tidy for the owners to come home to. Not moving stuff, or leaving dirty dishes in the sink. If appropriate, I like to strip the bed I’ve slept in, and put the laundry in the washer. P.S don’t worry I’ll make sure that I’ve not used up all the milk, bread, eggs or biscuits! It’ll be no problems getting more if I have to. It would be my blessing to the owner for blessing me.

She clearly has loads of experience and is passionate about her job! We will definitely be contacting her for future needs and will recommend her to everyone! Very pleased!”


JALEN C.
“Hii, I believe Jalen would make a great dog sitter and not just because he’s my friend. I have a cat who only likes to come to me and my mom, she never approaches anybody, let alone let them come to her. When Jalen came to my house my cat, peypey, walked up to Jalen and started rubbing against him. Now I do believe that the only reason she came up is because Jalen is a devoted man of faith in Christ, and animals sort of have a connection to people who are connected to God. Upon planning for a trip to the beach me and my family could not find anyone to watch our very aggressive,presa canario.Now my dog, Zaza, is your very stereotypical aggressively-mean dog, she likes nobody but my family. She tries to break out her cage when somebody comes in the yard. In knowing all this Jalen still offered to watch Zaza because he has God on his side, and isn’t scared of any job.”
