House Sitting in Granite City

“Tess was amazingly helpful with my dog, Boston!! He is a big dog with a lot of energy and I always worry that he might be a lot to handle for anyone coming over, and this was my first experience using Rover. Everything went seamlessly and I couldn’t recommend Tess enough!!”

About: Hi all! I’m Jen. I teach preschool and kindergarten in the mornings, and in the afternoon/evenings I enjoy spending my time working with animals. I have many years of experience petsitting and housesitting, as well as doing drop-in visits for cats and walks for dogs. I currently have one cat of my own, but I’ve had dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and chinchillas in the past. Please reach out to me with any questions! I look forward to caring for your animals. I am available for overnight care in your home, as well as drop-in visits or walks in the afternoons and evenings. I do not offer boarding or care in my home at this time. I have years of experience working with clients in their homes through babysitting and petsitting. I will treat your pets wonderfully and your house with respect.

“I was super hesitant to have a sitter in house for my pup because I was scared of my house being a wreck when I came back. Thankfully, this fear did not come true with Mary as a sitter. They were clean and kept my apartment how I left it… if not better. They sent me quite a few update pictures of my pup, and just regular updates in general. They also made sure my pup was okay with plenty of water in the time it was going to take me to get home after they left. Your pup will be in good hands with Mary!”

“Allison was our first cat sitter to also stay in our home, and we are so happy we found her! From the moment we submitted our request in Rover, Allison was terrific in her communication and warmth. She immediately offered to come meet us before we completed our booking, and this gave me comfort given I’ve never had a house sitter before. Our cat really needs human interaction and love, and Allison definitely provided that and more. We returned home to a very happy boy and a very organized place - maybe more organized than when we left! We will definitely book Allison again for our next trip.”

About: I have spent time around dogs, big and small, my whole life! I am particularly well-versed in big dogs over 100 pounds as I have been taking care of two Saint Bernards for the last few years. Also, I am comfortable with all levels of training! I am currently working a part-time job in the evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. During the week, I am free until 3pm, and I am very flexible on the weekends! Although I do not offer in-home services, I will always treat your pets and home as if it were my own! I pride myself in filled water bowls and happy animals! I will help keep you animals safe and your home clean!

“Leah did a fine job taking care of my pets while I was away for two weeks. They had a great time playing together and were in good spirits when I returned.”

“Kartik was responsive and provided plenty of updates throughout his stay. My pets were well taken care of and the house was perfectly kept while I was gone. Would definitely recommend!”

“Catelyn was fantastic with my Cali girl! She was excellent in making sure all of her needs were met. Cali is a GSD that gets very anxious and reactive. Catelyn sent me lots of pupdates of how Cali was doing as well as pictures and videos 😊 I’m very particular about who Cali is with as we have worked so hard to build her confidence and reduce her anxiety and reactivity, and I would rebook Catelyn in a heartbeat! I came home to a very happy pup! Thank you Catelyn !!”

About: I have worked with animals since I was in middle school. I enjoy being around animals and I want the best for them. I am certified and very good at what I do. I am currently working part time and also homeschooling my children so I will have ample time to care for your companion. I am available everyday after 3pm but sometimes I have morning's open as well. Communication is key with me so we can work something out so everyone is happy. I have learned fear free tactics that can help with introductions and getting comfortable. I can easily crate if needed and will calm down any stressful environment.

“Chandra was great with my puppy and was very accommodating despite the fact that my booking was made with short notice. She gave frequent updates and was quick to respond to this worried puppy mama during my first time away. I felt much better knowing Valentine was in Chandra's care. Thank you!!!”

“Mikayla did a great job looking after my babies and communicating! She sent plenty of pictures and was even kind enough to wash the sheets for the room she stayed in. I really appreciate her services and will definitely use her for future pet care needs!”

About: I had 3 cats all throughout my life, and have house sat for dogs during college! I love caring for all animals, and I hope that we can connect! I can do all days during the week that I'm not working my full time job - I mainly work 3 days a week for 12 hours each day. I maintain a safe environment through learning each pet's needs, as well as making sure that if they're on a schedule that they're on top of that said schedule.
