House Sitting in Harbor Hills

About: I have been house/dog sitting sine the mid 1980's ( I know, a whole other century)! I have no problem staying at your place and taking care of your doggies, collecting the mail, watering your plants, or whatever keeps strangers at bay. I do have allergies to cats which is a bummer as I am a new cat-grandma but can do feedings or litter changing ( I wear a mask)- I just can't stay over. I have always had dogs in my adult life, and would love to be the "Mrs. Grandma" to your little fur baby! I work from 8am to 4pm Monday-Friday beginning Aug 8.. My evenings and weekends are free of work obligations. I do love to stay busy and explore fun things to do in and around the city or I can snuggle at home with my Winnie and a good book. I have had double knee replacements so walking dogs can be a tad difficult if it is a long journey. My dog (Winnie) has graduated to not requiring her cage during the day and a fenced in yard which she loves chasing the frisbee and tennis balls. We live near a park and Winnie loves to explore the trails. We also have a rabbit (Chip) who was originally a gift for my son and quickly became mine. Chip has an area where he resides inside but loves to be hopping around the living room.

“Tessa was an amazing dog sitter. She stayed at our home while we left for a weekend. Tess was Very communicative, clean, and extremely attentive. I could not have asked for a better experience.”

“Elizabeth was amazing. It's not easy going away worry-free on vacation, but she nailed it. I didn't leave her with any instructions and she handled everything flawlessly. Even exceeded expectations. Cannot recommend enough!”

About: Hi there:) My name is Madison! I have experience running a kennel, so I am trained in medication and vaccinations! I have brief experience with obedience training if you have special needs for your pup. My life revolves around animals and I would love to help create a safe and fun environment for your fur child while you are out! I treat all animals like they are my own, so your pet will get all of the love that i give my fur kids. They will have fun playing in the yard and going on walks, we do a ton of training throughout the day and play with our Barkbox toys! I will be the only one handling your babies:) I currently work in law enforcement and am always out and about. I love working in the community and am able to take a breath during my work day to go love on some lil pups. I am always house sitting for family and friends and do my best to make sure the pets are safe and happy in their most comfortable environment. I will be the only one who will be handling your pets!

“Shelby did a great job with our pup! She stayed with him and cuddled him while we were out all day and safely secured him in his kennel when she left for the day. He was a happy and safe dog thanks to her!”

About: My passion for any and all animals has always been a huge cornerstone of my life. I’ve learned when it comes to taking care of my own pets but also my neighbors, friends and families pets over the years, during the day and overnight, what’s been the most important aspect of this work, is having integrity and loving the pets as I would my own. I’m currently working mornings and early afternoons at a groomers. I’m typically available anytime after 4pm weekdays and available all day during Saturday and Sunday. I have a dog and cats of my own so your babies will be in good company! There is a lovely walking trail beside my residence I take my dog for walks on everyday if taking care at my residence. If taking care at your residence I will utilize all normal routines the babies are used to everyday.

“Our experience with Jamie on the Rover application was nothing short of exceptional, earning them a well-deserved five-star rating! Jamie's dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for our dogs were evident from the moment we connected. Communication: Jamie's communication skills were top-notch from the outset. They were prompt in responding to messages and incredibly friendly and approachable. We received regular updates, complete with adorable photos and videos of our furry friend, which reassured us that our dog was in good hands. Care and Attention: Jamie provided our dog with the utmost care and attention, treating them as if they were their own. They took the time to understand our dog's unique personality and needs, ensuring they felt comfortable and loved throughout their stay. From leisurely walks to engaging playtime, our dog received the personalized care they deserved. Clean and Safe Environment: Jamie's home was a clean and safe haven for our dog. We were impressed by the level of cleanliness and organization, which reflected Jamie's commitment to providing a welcoming environment. Our dog had plenty of space to roam and explore, all while feeling secure and at ease. Reliability: Jamie's reliability was impeccable, instilling complete confidence in their ability to care for our dog. They were punctual for drop-off and pick-up, and they followed our instructions meticulously. We never had to worry about the well-being of our dog while in Jamie's care. In summary, Jamie exceeded our expectations in every way possible. Their passion for dogs shines through in everything they do, making them the perfect choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. We wholeheartedly recommend Jamie to anyone in need of exceptional pet care – they truly are a gem on Rover! Thank you, Jamie, for providing our dog with such a positive and enjoyable experience.

“Ashleigh was a wonderful sitter!! Not only did she take fantastic care of the dogs, she also took care of some issues that happened at the house while we were gone. I appreciate everything she did before she left the house at the end of the booking. She’s exactly what you would want taking care of your animals. I will definitely be seeking her out again in the future.!! Thank you so much, Ashleigh!!”

About: I am very good with reactive dogs, having had one myself. I have read up on animal first aid and training. Also having trained 3 dogs. Dogs are my life and I would do literally anything for them! I currently have both weekends and weekdays free. And available anytime, minus some doctors appointments! Looking for a new job currently so until then that won’t change! In my own home I have 2 dogs and a large fenced in yard. In your home, I will follow whatever rules you leave me!

“Kathy has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have two dogs, a senior Vizsla and young Boston Terrier. I hired Kathy to pet sit for three days, several hours each day. Kathy went above and beyond to make my pets feel comfortable! She engaged with them, sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how they were doing. She also had great communication prior to the booking. I will definitely hire Kathy again.”

“Bevan has developed a good relationship with our Bernedoodle, Bailey, after two stays with her. He was very responsive to questions, and reaponsible!”

“Brianna stepped in as an emergency sitter for our dogs while we were on vacation. She didn’t hesitate to come to their rescue last minute. Our dogs (or us) never had the opportunity to meet her beforehand and we came home to happy dogs! I can’t express my gratitude enough and the fact she was able to give me the peace of mind that I needed.”

About: I’ve had animals in my life from the beginning. Right now I have 2 dogs, a cat, 2 Guinea pigs, and a fish :) I love caring for them and want to get back into walking, so this is perfect! I stay overnight to dog sit, so I have tons of experience! I’m a college student working part-time, so i would like to spend as much time as possible with your pets! As long as you let me know what’s up, I’d be happy to be of service :) I have a fenced in yard on a not-busy street, so the dogs can play (and even bark) freely as they please. I just want them to have fun!

“My first time using Rover and Lenny did a great job taking care of my dog Rocco. It was so nice to be able to keep him at home in his element opposed to taking him to the kennel. Rocco seemed very happy and content when I returned from my vacation.”

About: My entire life, I have loved pets of all shapes and sizes. I have been trusted to care for countless animals over the years and am always willing to make a new friend. I work 8-4:30 most days, but live close enough to come that I can stop and check on your pet if it is at my home. Weekends I have wide open availability and can fit your needs in whatever way possible! My pets are all loved profusely and I have never met a pet I didn’t like. Your pet will be treated as one of my own.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to stay with my 2 chihuahuas. My 16 year old started a new medicine a few days before I left her for 7 days. I was worried about her eating and getting her pill down since my dog recently became very smart about hiding pills in cheese, treats, etc. Katy made me feel so comfortable. She got my doggie to eat and always got her pill down, coming up with new ways to encourage her to eat. My other dog loved Katy.”

“I was worried about all of our fur babies being cared for while we went on a 7 day cruise. Cassie was wonderful! She took care of everyone and sent us updates throughout our vacation. I will definitely be using her for our future pet care needs!”

“Alexis did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Hank! It was the first time leaving him with someone other than family and she made us feel so at ease. She sent us daily updates and photos and worked with our schedule last minute.”

Ericka B.

“Dan was awesome! He took care of our pup and stayed at our house for the week. He sent us pictures most days and kept us updated. We would definitely recommend.”

“Lindsay really helped when I was in a bind. I had an unexpected death in the family. I’ve had unpleasant experiences with boarding in the past and wanted my dog to be in her own home. Lindsay responded quickly and did a meet and greet the same day. She even arrived an hour early per my request so I could get on the road to be with my family. She sent pics of my dog playing, on walks, and resting. I plan on Lindsay taking care of my dog later on this year. She brought cleaning supplies to disinfect because of Covid and I liked that she errs on the side of caution, especially being in someone’s home. Lindsay kept lines of communication open the entire time I was gone. I am satisfied with her services.”
