House Sitting Hale Place

“Once again, my pets had a wonderful time with Lauren! She is the BEST pet sitter! My dog Luna and cat Juice were calm, happy and relaxed when I returned from my trip. Lauren cares so much about the pets she takes care of and really loves them up. She’s awesome and I will also book with her! Thanks, Lauren!”

About: I was a dog walker and pet sitter in college. Since then I’ve mostly pet sat for friends. Recently started working from home and am available for more regular sitting and walking. I have a cat and an elderly/special needs dog myself and have experience caring for all kinds. I well versed in medicating, and other special needs. I work from home with very flexible hours so I am fairly available during the week for drop ins, walks and boarding. I have some weekend availability also for overnights. As a pet owner myself I know how much we care for our animals and I understand the trust it takes putting their care in another’s hands. I take that responsibility, as well as their safety, wellbeing and comfort seriously. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide them with the utmost care and respect.

About: Beyond my thrilling experiences taking care of, and providing fun/enrichment for, a wide variety of animals throughout most of my life, I quickly get tuned into an individual pet's needs. While continuous learning means always researching more about any animals under my care, I also understand that proper care is more beneficial by trying to bond with your pet. But I promise I won't try to become their most favorite person! :-) I have been working remotely as an independent consultant but without any new full-time contracts recently. While still pursuing part-time remote work (contracts or employment), I wanted to maximize my additional time towards supporting pet parents who need a sitter, dog walker, or anything else for their pets that I can provide. As I have a free-roam house rabbit of my own, I can only care for pets at a client's home. (Or on walks, at the dog park, or elsewhere as reasonably requested/permitted by the client.) Your pet's care & safety, comfort, and enrichment are my top priorities.

“Emily is so great with our pitbull. She truly loves the dogs she's watching as her own, and takes good care of the house she is watching as well. This is the second time Emily has dog and house sat for us, and I'd highly recommend her for both!”

“Evan watched our pup on short notice, and we were super happy with how everything went. We were away for the weekend and came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Our dog needs extra attention on walks due to reactivity and also has specific feeding instructions, and Evan was incredibly accommodating with all of it. He even came over for an in-person visit beforehand, and it was clear how conscientious he is and how important it was to him to make sure he was a good fit for our dog. That built a lot of trust for us. He also sent photos and updates over the weekend was very rad. We’d definitely use him again, and plan to next time a trip comes up. 5/5 recommend.”

About: Since I was a child I have taken care of the family dog. They are like family to me. I have worked at a dog spa since May of 2025 so that I have experience on handling dogs. I can bathe your dogs and brush them but not groom them. I love animals like family. I also take care of my sister’s golden retriever when she’s away on trips. I work Tuesdays-Saturdays from 10am-6:15pm so on my work days I can house sit your pets, take them for walks and take care of them after work and my days off I’m available anytime. I have a cat at home who is spoiled. Every day she gets groomed, loved and cuddled with. She couldn’t be more happier. I even have a filtered water fountain for my car to drink out of I clean every two weeks. I enjoy cleaning her food bowl every morning and give her dental treats to make her gums and teeth healthy. When it comes to clients pets I’d do the same as if they were my own pet very loved and spoiled. When I had my family dog she was very loved and spoiled as well. Every day do walk her, brush her, feed her and cuddle with her making the happiest dog she can be. All animals I treat equally.

“Susan took care of my dog over a weekend with drop in visits. She communicated very well and sent pictures of my fur baby eating and relaxing. I would definitely use her again.”

About: I’ll treat you, your pet(s), and your space with the same respect I would want my pets and space treated. I’ve been helping family and friends with pet care for over 20 years with some uncertified training where needed (mostly leash control and recall with excited doggos). I’m currently between jobs, and my schedule is wide open. I’m available for same day bookings, and happy to schedule things out for recurring service if that’s a good fit. I will treat your home with the same respect that I would want my home treated with. I will follow the instructions that are given without improvising.

“I recently had the pleasure of having Erik take care of my energetic duo, Beau and Jet, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the exceptional service he provided. From the moment I met Erik, I knew my fur babies were in good hands. Erik went above and beyond in every aspect of pet sitting. He not only ensured that Beau and Jet were well-fed and content, but he also took the time to engage with them, providing playtime that kept their spirits high. One of the highlights of Erik’s service was the beautiful photos he captured of Beau and Jet. Erik’s communication skills were outstanding. He regularly sent me updates on Beau and Jet, reassuring me of their happiness and safety. This level of communication not only put my mind at ease but also demonstrated his professionalism and is top choice for pet owners seeking peace of mind while they are away Thank you, Erik, for your outstanding care of Beau and Jet. You truly are a gem in the world of pet sitting!”

About: Animals have been a cherished part of my life for over 30 years, and I understand that our pets are truly members of the family. Whether they’re playful, affectionate, independent, shy, or a little quirky, I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention. I have extensive personal experience caring for both dogs and cats and appreciate their unique personalities and needs. From energetic dogs who love attention and companionship to independent cats who prefer affection on their own terms, I enjoy building trust and helping animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a registered nurse, I bring an additional level of responsibility, compassion, and attention to detail to pet care. I’m experienced in following detailed care instructions, maintaining consistent routines, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or well-being. I understand how especially important this can be for senior pets or animals who need a little extra patience and attention. I also know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companions in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide the same warmth, respect, and attentiveness I would want for my own pets, while keeping you connected through regular updates, photos, and open communication. Whether your furry family member needs companionship, playtime, reassurance, or simply a calm and caring presence, I would love the opportunity to get to know them! I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to thoughtfully plan pet care around each animal’s individual needs. I enjoy peaceful environments, spending time with animals, and maintaining familiar routines. I believe consistency and companionship make a meaningful difference in helping pets feel comfortable while their families are away. I prefer to discuss each pet’s schedule, personality, and care requirements in advance so I can make sure we’re a wonderful fit. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priorities. I understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and entrust them with a beloved family member. As a registered nurse, I’m accustomed to maintaining safe environments, following detailed instructions, and paying close attention to changes that may require additional care or communication. I respect each household’s routines, boundaries, and preferences. I take care to maintain a clean, peaceful environment, secure doors and gates, and follow feeding, medication, and household instructions carefully. I believe in open communication and will provide updates and photos throughout our time together. My goal is for you to return to a happy, comfortable pet and a home that has been treated with care and respect.

“Jemma was great. She was responsive. Both the pups seemed happy and well care for upon return. Would use again.”

“First time to use Rover for in home dog sitting. Rissa stayed with our finicky dog for 10 days and quickly won his heart. Rissa was flexible and quickly solved the unexpected issues. Her dog care background benefitted our dog and she added to his toy collection with toys he greatly appreciated. Rissa also took wonderful care of our house and garden in the midst of a heatwave. I fully appreciate and recommend Rissa and Rover.com.”

“Chris ( Chappy) is amazing. We have two giant (120 and 150 lbs), complicated dogs—one of whom can be aggressive. Plus seizures. This is not an easy situation and we have rejected most sitters. Chappy had the right experience and feel to handle them both. He is also extremely conscientious. He is an experienced dog handler and we are relieved to have found him.”

“I met Zach before we left on vacation, and I felt totally comfortable knowing that he would take great care of Beca, Jett and our home while we were away. Unfortunately for Zach, Beca had an upset stomach just before we left; yet he was not phased and gave us initial daily reports to inform us of her progress. Then, we had an unexpected issue with our new "smart" water system which cut the water off to the house on occasion. We let Zach know how to turn on the water again. The issue has since been resolved. Zach sent picture of the dogs on their walk or while at the dog park. On the last day, he checked in to see what else might need doing before we returned. Not only did he wash the sheets etc., but her remade his bed. I would ask Zach to sit for us in a heart beat and highly recommend him.”
