House Sitting Haden Island

“I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Marie!! We’ve used multiple sitters on Rover before, and she is in a league of her own. She went so far above and beyond—sending tons of photos and videos, keeping our home spotless, and even helping set up a water fountain and troubleshoot our cats’ picky eating habits. It’s clear she genuinely cares. Most importantly, she loved our cats like they were her own, and that meant everything to us. She was truly an angel and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her. We will absolutely be using her again—she deserves every bit of recognition! Thank you so much Marie!!”

“James was amazing! He took such great care of my pups! They seemed totally comfortable and at ease with him. I even got a photo of my anxious one so relaxed!!”

“Felicia did a wonderful job watching our fur babies. I really appreciated the pictures and communication. She was responsible, friendly, and genuinely cared about our pups. 10/10 would book again!”

“We all loved Renata, especially my dog, Mango. He was so happy and relaxed when we came home. Totally different attitude then when we pick him up from the kennel. Renata was a great pet-sitter and we will definitely use her again. We especially appreciate her flexibility of also helping with our chickens.”

“Erich & Sarah are absolute rockstars. It's never easy leaving your pets/home in the care of others but Erich and Sarah could not have been any better. They took amazing care of our home and two wild puppies while gone for 5 days. I am pretty confident the house is cleaner than when we left it. They messaged us regularly, providing photos and updates which was much appreciated and we didn't even ask them too. Needless to say we would absolutely recommend these two with out hesitation. You could say they are a needle in a haystack and are some of the nicest people we have meet in a long time. We cannot thank them enough!”

“Jamie took such good care of our dogs and small farm while we were away. She communicated well and quickly. We can’t wait to have her house sit for us again! Thank you Jamie!”

About: Having grown up with both a Chihuahua and Australian Cattle Dogs, I am well-versed in dogs that need high-energy play time versus those that just need to get their zoomies out! I have taken care of senior dogs, including a miniature poodle and a long-haired Chihuahua. I am an animal lover who has to pet any dog or cat I see and have a genuine interest in caring for and loving your special furry friend 🐾 I am currently in-between jobs as I am studying for my LSAT for law school so my schedule is very flexible right now! I have a car and am able to drive so that is not a problem. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am very aware that I am a guest in the home and act accordingly. These days, privacy is important and I pride myself on protecting that for the client in addition to caring for the pet(s). When interacting with pet(s), I like to go at their pace in their home, respecting their boundaries, and gaining their trust. I am able to handle shy pets and wait for them to warm up as well as handle the rambunctious love bugs that want to snuggle!

“Malissa is amazing! She showed up to our meet-and-greet beforehand with an iPad to take copious notes. It was amazing! It’s clear she really cares and takes her job seriously. And our dog loved her and all the love and attention she gives (especially the evening scritches!).”

“Karen was an incredible dogsitter and we feel luck to have found her! She was communicative, great with our high-energy dog and took good care of our home. We look forward to Karen dogsitting in the future and highly recommend her!”

About: I have a great passion for animals. I have grown up around cats, dogs, horses, and cows. I am well-trained in taking exceptional care of animals and maintaining cleanliness as we go about our day! I would love to meet your fur babies❤️ Pet care is a daily occurrence for me. I am careful to make sure my own pets are well-fed, well exercised, and getting plenty of love! I'm happy to abide by any rules the owner gives me in their home or in my home. My apartment is too small to care for large dogs as I also have two cats; my only request is that is acommidable!

“Catherine and Josh were great with our pup that requires special attention and care! They ensured they had all the information and put our minds at ease. We came home to a happy and tired dog, with is no small feat! Would definitely recommend and use them again.”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs from ages 4 months to 12 years! I like to learn each animals needs and modify my care for them! I work three days a week and keep an open schedule to care for others’ animals the other four days in the week! I have a flexible schedule and can even help on the days I am scheduled at my main job! I always ask for your preferences for your animals! Whether this includes walk length, treats and food, and even mannerisms, I always want to make sure YOU and your animals are comfortable!

About: I grew up on a farm and helped take care of a variety of animals. I've seen a lot and know how to handle an emergency if it comes up. Most of my experience is with dogs, cats and birds. I have cared for: small, medium and large dog breeds including ones labeled as "aggressive" (German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Dobermans, etc). The cats I have cared for have been house and barn cats and most were American Shorthair. Other animals I have cared for: variety of doves, variety of parrots both small and large (both seed and nectar feeding), helped rehab a crow once, mini horses, llamas, sheep, goats, cows, chickens, peacocks, pheasants, iguana, snakes, rabbits, mice, hamsters, fish, eels, and frogs. Property Maintenance: I love gardens and have helped with basic maintenance tasks and harvesting. I can assist with weeding, watering, etc. I can help harvest flowers for arrangement or drying. I can also help with harvesting produce and process it for long term storage if needed. I use to be a home owner, so I can do basic home maintenance such as changing air filters, yard work, collecting mail, answering calls, etc. I have rented and traveled a fair bit too. I can also do daily cleaning, laundry, etc. Specialty Skills: Some of the dogs and cats I cared for had medication requirements that I needed to attend to and be mindful of. I have limited experience with senior animals but I do have some. Twister lived to be very old for a Jack Russel and experienced seizures later in her life. She lived on for many years still and even survived a broken pelvis from being hit by a car. I helped her rehab during that period of time too. I know how to apply flea/tick medication, and administer pill medication to dogs and cats. The birds I raised did have parasites once. I was able to identify the problem and take them to the vet for treatment. Since a lot of animals I have cared for were outside animals, I also know how to tend wounds and dress them. I have an eye for spotting issues and unusual behavior to quickly get the help the animals needs. Booked for May, & June. Headed to coast of OR for early July! Reach out to me before I fill up! I'm an artist and project manager. I work remotely and currently focused on my art business. I am searching for places of inspiration and maybe fall in love with a town I can one day call my home. I know I want to move, but I'm not sure what's next. This is my chance to explore that. For any animal I'm taking care of I need to know their daily schedule and any rules they need to follow. Any behavior issues or sensitivities or fears would be great to know as well. Knowing this will help me keep your pets on routine, calm and happy.

“Ashley, a wonderful, friendly young lady who is easy to like instantly, my 2 corgies loved her, and appear to be missing her this moment! I was away for 10 days. She stayed at my home, sent photos and updates regularly and found ways to exercise them, even on rainy days. Ashley came over to my home prior to me leaving so she could meet me and the dogs, which I very much appreciated, the dogs instantly loved her. I will certainly use Ashley’s services again”

About: I have deep care for the animals we get to live with and I take this joyous role very seriously. I’ve been a dog mom myself and it would always bring me some anxiety to leave him with a new sitter. I’m here to answer any questions and meet your pup(s) to make sure that everyone feels comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies learning the ropes, to senior dogs who need a gentler pace and extra patience. I’m comfortable with specific care needs such as administering medications, following special feeding routines, and giving extra attention to pets with health concerns. I’m self-employed and split my time between working from home and from my office. My schedule is flexible most days, which means I can usually adjust my day to fit your dog’s needs — whether that’s morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening playtime. I make sure pets aren’t left waiting too long and always work around their normal routines so they stay comfortable and happy. I take care of pets right in their own homes, where everything smells familiar and feels safe. I’ve found that staying in their own space helps them relax so much more while you’re away. I really try to keep things feeling “normal” for them — same routines, same little habits, same comforts. I’ll follow your instructions closely so your pet’s day feels as similar as possible to having you home. I pay attention when we go on walks — checking leashes, making sure doors and gates are secure, and watching for anything that might make your pup uncomfortable. I’m more than happy to slow down if your pet needs a little extra care. Whether that’s meds, quiet time, or lots of cuddles, I meet them where they are and give them plenty of patience and love. I treat your home with care and respect, and I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own. I want you to be able to relax, knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and so well loved while you’re away.

“We had a great experience with Veyonce. She was flexible when we needed to reschedule our meet & greet, great with our dog, and asked good questions. She was also friendly, sent plenty of pictures, and left the place very clean at the end of her stay. We would definitely book with her again!”

About: Before the days of Rover, I had makeshift a dog-sitting and walking business that I created in Ashland, Oregon while attending Southern Oregon University. The business was successful, but I moved back home to Portland to attend PSU. I have since earned a degree in Psychology and have been working in the mental health field at Providence hospital. In my free time I have been an intermittent pet-sitter for family, friends, and second-degree connections. My services include hiking and day trips in the convertible (roof down if permitted!), helping your pet feel comfortable and content while you're away. I have a kitty along with a long history of taking care of my own pets. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with special needs. I am comfortable caring for multiple pets in a home and have experience caring for up to 4 pets at a time. I am in a transition period while I get ready to attend a Clinical Psychology doctoral program next Fall. My days are open and dedicated to your fur baby. I am attentive and present while your pet is in my care. They become my priority. I have repeat clients who I do overnight stays for. I build trust with my clients through reliable services provided. I follow instructions well and actively communicate with clients as-needed. I build trust with your pets by providing a safe place for them to have companionship or alone time. I take the time to learn how your pet communicates so that they feel cared for.

About: I've taken care of dogs all my life since childhood. I have provided them with love and care medical care and one on one time during walks, traveling to different dog parks, and beach trips! Dogs provide me with emotional support and assists me with outside activities to keep me going. Every few hours I am caring for dogs and they're helping me. We are a team. I want to extend my love and care to your pet while you are away. Being their friend while they're being my friend. I'm currently a remote worker from home. So they will have access to me at my home 24/7. Our daily current schedule is as follows. 5am wake up 530 potty time 9am breakfast and walk 2pm long walk 5-6pm Dinner 8pm+ Quiet time with our blankets and dog TV time I have a secured apartment and we always make sure the dogs are leashes first before opening the door to go outside. I am conveniently located next door to a local bike path where we walk and run.

“Daniella did an amazing job while house sitting my dog, Whit. She was kind, compassionate, very thorough, sent lots of updates/photos/videos, and took Whit on several mini adventures. It's such a good feeling to know your dog is in good hands and cared for while away for such a long time. Would highly recommend Daniella :)”

About: Hi, I’m Alexandra! I grew up on a 12-acre farm in Florida surrounded by all kinds of animals, from dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens to goats, even iguanas so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’m passionate about creating a nurturing environment for pets and ensuring they feel loved and safe while their humans are away. In addition to being an animal lover, I’m also a holistic wellness enthusiast, so I understand how important care, attention, and positive energy are for animals. I recently moved to Georgia and have been loving it here so far! Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or giving them extra cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry friends are happy and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently have a flexible schedule working from home and am open to accommodating various hours as needed. Availability is negotiable to meet your needs. I am very attentive and affectionate with animals. Though I will give space if they are more solitary. I have been around many different types of animals and personalities!
