House Sitting in Gowen

“Everything went well! We were able to communicate easily with Ellyanna, she sent us cute pics, and the pups seemed like they were happy, comfortable, and had a good time and their needs met 😊 The house was the way we left it, and we had peace of mind that our home and pups were in good hands while on our camping trip! We appreciate it 🙏”

“Emily is the best! She took care of our 4 fur babies who are all very different! They clearly loved having her take care of them. She goes above and beyond and we’ll definitely use her again.”

About: As someone who not only has pets but spent over a year working at a pet store I’ve cared for many different types of dogs, learned how to read animal behavior, and understand the importance of safety, routine, and trust. I’m reliable, attentive, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and well-being Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have both a dog and a cat, so I’m used to balancing walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. Because I already plan my days around caring for my own pets, it’s easy for me to incorporate walks, drop-ins, and sitting for others. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes timely feedings, regular walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of attention. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and I closely monitor their behavior to ensure they’re happy and safe.

“Caroline was great! Communication with her was prompt and easy. My house looked like no one had even been here. It was so clean when I got back, but the biggest thing is my mini bernadoodle took to Caroline almost immediately and she doesn’t always do that. I receive plenty of text and pictures about how things were going because I was very nervous as this was my first time and Caroline was great at that. She stayed with my puppy the whole time which was something I really wanted. We will definitely be using her again..”

“Kevin did an excellent job watching Rocky and Annie! They seemed happy , not stressed on our arrival. He communicated well and sent updates. The pups gave him 4paws each.”

“This was our first time using Rover and a pet sitter. Lillie was communicative from the very beginning and throughout the week. She provided excellent care for our 17 year old cat and 6 year old sheltie. We came home to happy animals and a house that looked like no one had been in it. Will definitely use her again.”

“Alexis was awesome. I booked her to come watch my cats while I was out of town. Right before I left I had to take Smokey to the vet where they prescribed her a couple doses of medicine I thought I would have to cancel my trip but she was very accommodating and said she would be able to give her the medicine. She has great communication and will send you pictures for an update which I loved. I would book Alexis again in the future!”

“Six weeks before our first cruise planned for August 2025, the dog sitter that I had lined up to stay with our golden retriever, Casper, backed out on me. So I was scrambling to find a new dog sitter and turned to Rover.com. That's how we found Eileen. She was delightful and I never had a concern for the entire cruise. Casper seemed very happy in all of the pictures she sent me during our time away. Eileen was also kind enough to water my flowers and bring in the mail daily. She took care of everything including Casper. I would highly recommend Eileen for anyone looking for a kind trustworthy house/pet sitter. Chris Strawser”

“Went to Europe for almost two weeks and decided to give Rover a try for the first time - and I TOTALLY lucked out with Erin!! I ended up selecting her because in addition to the positive reviews, she seemed like she was great with cats. I left my two cats - and my home - in Erin’s care while I was abroad, which was a little bit scary for me, but Erin made me so comfortable. We met first, she spent lots of time getting used to the kitties’ habits, and she was so patient with them (they’re shy at first). Erin was friendly, flexible, and amazing with my kitties. I got updates every day including videos, and she took great care of my home. When I came back, the bowls were full, the litter was clean, and the cats were happy. Erin came every day, loved up on the kitties, and made sure the house was safe. I’m incredibly grateful to have found someone who I can trust and finally can relax on my future trips knowing she is here and willing to help. I highly recommend booking with Erin, especially for first-time Rovers! Thank you for everything, Erin! I’ll be seeing you again! ?”

“Pam is amazing!!!, She took outstanding care of our high energy dogs and senior cat. So very good with communication and very in tuned with our needs. Thank you Pam!! ❤️”

“Kittiya is a super sweet very caring individual. Her professionalism is outstanding as she confirms and is there on time. Normally my kitties do not come out for strangers and they ran right up to her as though they already knew her my German Shepherd very much enjoyed spending time with her, I already have her booked for another visit. I highly recommend her.”

About: I love animals! I have been around dogs and cats my whole life, whether they were my own or looking after friends and family pets. I am available weekends for overnight stays, long walks, play, feeding/drinking, and potty breaks and a few evenings during the week for walks, play, feeding/drinking, and potty breaks. I have no issue with picking up poop and cleaning out litter boxes. I can crate your dog if needed and have plenty of energy myself for a lot of outside playtime to help your dog burn off energy so they can rest easy at night. I will be sure your pet is well fed hydrated, and have a lot of experience giving meds to both cats and dogs.

“Jessica was a great sitter for our little Zoe! She followed Zoe’s schedule and kept her happy in our home for three days/nights. Jessica was very good about sending photos of Zoe’s activities as well. I look forward to scheduling Jessica for my next trip!”

“Brittney did an excellent job house sitting with my dog Millie. She walked Millie several times a day and sent lots of pictures and feedback. She followed instructions well and asked questions when a scenario did fit the instructions. I would definitely ask her to help out again.”

“Shannon was fantastic. She was able to come in and help us when we needed someone at the last minute. She has a way with dogs and was able to not only care for our pups but created an environment where they were comfortable. I couldn’t recommend Shannon any higher. She will be our go to Rover moving forward.”

About: Hello! My name is Katelyn, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals. I find spending time with pets incredibly fulfilling because they bring so much joy and companionship into our lives. Whether it’s playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing together, I truly enjoy every moment I get to spend with them. Caring for pets allows me to connect with them on a personal level, understanding their unique personalities and needs. It’s always a pleasure to be there for them, ensuring they feel happy, safe, and loved. I will always treat your dogs with respect, love and kindness. I have trained many dogs and puppies before. If you need any training done while I am watching them just ask and I can help you out. I have dealt with many different attitudes. I have a lot of experience with dogs that like to run away. I have the best track record of always making sure that they DO NOT do that on my watch. Well I'm a very organized person that has a lot of free time and enjoys animals very much. I will always make sure your pet comes first and they will be treat very well. My most important rule is to never leave your pets unattended. They are my top priority when they are in my care. I normally let dogs out every two hours during the day. I listen to and follow all of my clients rules/ways they want their pets taken care of. I would never treat your pet with disrespect or be unkind to them. They will also have play time and be allowed to go outside when ever they want. In my home we can sperate dogs during feeding time if needed. They are allowed any where in the house. They go to bed in my room every night. I have a few doggy beds if they don't want to sleep on my bed. At my doggie daycare, your furry friend will enjoy a safe, fun, and enriching environment designed to keep them happy and engaged throughout the day. Each day is structured to ensure that your dog receives plenty of exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation. **Typical Day:** - **Morning:** The day starts with a warm welcome and some playtime to help your dog settle in and burn off some energy. This is followed by a group walk or outdoor play session, where they can explore, socialize, and stretch their legs. - **Midday:** After a busy morning, dogs enjoy a snack or lunch break, followed by some quiet time to rest and recharge. - **Afternoon:** The afternoon is filled with more fun activities, such as puzzle games, interactive play, or agility exercises, tailored to your dog’s interests and energy levels. We also have another outdoor session for fresh air and exercise. - **Evening:** Before pickup, we wind down with some light playing outside and make sure they use the bathroom one more time.

I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, dog sat for friends and family for decades, and truly enjoy giving dogs the love, attention, exercise, and care they deserve. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am a teacher who is currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to give your dog the love and attention they deserve!
