Top rated Govans house sitters

“Maria is a fantastic pet sitter who treats your pets and your home like it's her own. She follows instructions and sends plenty pictures of my pets often. She is by far the best sitter I have hired and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.”


“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”


“Katie was such a wonderful pet sitter! She took care of our large lab-mix and 4 cats over the course of a weekend. She was quick to respond to setting up a meet and greet and responded immediately to our booking request. During the weekend, she set us updates and pictures so we could be sure our pets were having fun! She helped to ease our anxiety about leaving our one cat who is a "runner"! She even walked our dog in the morning before she left which left the pup calm until we got back home. I would 100% recommend Katie to anyone looking for a pet sitter/dog walker! Thanks again Katie for the organic veggies!!”


“Zana was wonderful with my Lulu and Solo (senior Yorkie and adolescent cat). She got them to warm up to her quickly and she kept them and my home in good order for an entire week. I appreciated the regular check-ins and photos during my time away. AND she was a real trooper despite a couple of unfortunate incidents in the neighborhood with some wanna be car thieves. I would highly recommend Zana!! She will love your fur babies as her own. And she’s very patient with a somewhat anxious pet owner.”


About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, and everything in-between for as long as I can remember. From pit-bulls to terriers, handicapped chickens to one eyed kittens and animals with at least 8 legs, i’ve seen it all. Apart from caring for my own dogs, cats, and other pets over the years, I did freelance petsitting and dog walking in and around my neighborhood for around seven years, ranging from dog walks while the owner was at work, to late night cat feedings and prescription medication administration, to trying to give a rabbit a bath. I have a high level of experience caring for both puppies/kittens and elderly dogs and cats, having worked to foster puppies and kittens with my local ASPCA for nearly a decade as well as helped raise and train one of my family dogs, and care for my elderly, disabled dog in her later years. I also have background training with the ASPCA regarding animal safety (specifically reactive or defensive dogs) and basic dog and cat body language, crucial aspects of keeping everyone involved healthy and happy! I’m currently a college student home for the summer- my schedule is very open and very flexible, depending on the individual needs of the animal. I can match whatever level of energy your pet needs within the home- whether it be constant cuddles and attention, hours of playtime, or just an omniscient hand filling the food bowl and grabbing the leash! I’m comfortable administering oral or topical medications, able to control and crate dogs if the need arises, and (i’d like to think) i’ve learned some pretty good strategies to stop unwanted barking late at night over the years. I value the mental and physical comfort of the animal i’m caring for first and foremost, whether that means hands on attention or a more quiet, calm approach to time spent with your pet. I’m willing to care for and spend time with shy or reactive dogs as long as they’re within my size range. Having owned both a very senile, timid dog and a very reactive, defensive dog, it’s important to me that they receive the amount of care and attention in the home they deserve :)

“Bria was fantastic. This was our first time booking with her and the meet and greet went smoothly. She took excellent care of both Hampton and Neko and kept our home clean and tidy. We felt completely at ease while we were away. We are already looking forward to having her sit for us again soon. Highly recommend.”


“Ty is super helpful and communicative! And our cat loves him! Cat barely comes out to play with other sitters, but Ty always seems to entice our cat to play, and sends pics. Thanks Ty!”


“Pre was amazing. I completely screwed up the days I needed dog sitting for and she just rolled with it. I was so grateful for her flexibility and grace. Indy was very happy he got to chill in his own home. We will definitely hire her again.”


“Jessica just did a 5 day stay with my pups while I was away. She was so attentive, giving me just the right amount of updates throughout my trip. She was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. I came home to happy healthy pups who got plenty of cuddles! Will definitely be booking with her again!”


“I highly recommend Natalie. She stayed at my house and looked after my dog while I was away on a recent trip. I came home and found my puppy dog happy and relaxed, and my house nice and neat, with the plants watered, and the trash taken out to the curb at the right time. I will definitely contact her about future travel dates.”


“Elizabeth was amazing! She was so good with our three dogs and cat. They are a handful and we worry leaving them with new people but Elizabeth put our minds at ease with frequent updates and photos. She stayed at our house and left it cleaner than she found it! She really thought of everything to make sure our late arrival home was as smooth as possible. Would 100% recommend Elizabeth!”


“Ren took great care of our pup (and our house). We got pics while we were away and we could tell from our doorbell cam that Juniper was going out plenty and was happy and comfortable.”


“Channing cared for my dog for 11 days. She not only fed, walked and spent time with him, but also took him to a local park to play, and slept overnight at my apt as her schedule allowed. I knew he was in great hands, and she even took in my mail. Thank-you & woof woof Channing!”



“Allison took great care of my dog over the past year. She was a walker and sitter. She was attentive to his daily needs including medications. I highly recommend Allison!”


“Michael was incredibly kind and patient with our high-anxiety mini-poodle. He spent extra time getting to know our dog ahead of the stay, provided photos (album-worthy pictures!) and updates, and left our house in spotless condition. Five stars! We will absolutely hire Michael the next time we travel.”


“Asia took great care of our pup, Juniper, as well as our house. She was really helpful and responsive to our messages. Our flights kept changing and Asia was flexible and made sure Juniper wouldn’t be left alone too long waiting, especially while there were thunderstorms (which scare Juniper). We came home to a happy healthy pup!”


“Ivan was very patient and caring with my anxious Pitt bull and very energetic Rottweiler. They are not easy dogs to watch and he made me feel at ease while I was away.”



“Autumn is absolutely wonderful with our cats! She's caring and communicative, and sends amazing photos! I tend to worry about the cats when I travel, but I feel totally comfortable and worry-free knowing Autumn is with them playing and looking after them. Definitely hoping she'll be available again next time I travel!”



“Courtney was so accommodating, communicative, and enthusiastic when taking care of Phoebe! We had to add an extra night of dogsitting very last night minute, and she couldn't have been more helpful. We got great updates, happy pictures, and felt super relaxed knowing our pup was in good hands.”
