House Sitting in Hardwick

“Marielle was terrific! Tula warmed up to her quickly and while we were gone, we received many photos of the two of them getting along well. Tula can be a little shy and Marielle's gentle and comforting voice definitely helped her feel safe, relaxed, and right at home. :)”

“Janice was so kind to watch our dog Walter on short notice. She came over the day before for a meet and greet and to go over everything and I instantly knew she would be great with him. She sent us updates with photos and our dog was very happy! I will definitely be using Janice again when we need a dog sitter.”

“Steven is great! He’s friendly and our dogs couldn’t have been happier and more well taken care of when we got home. He was quick to take our sitting job in a pinch and we look forward to having him hang with our dogs again in the future!”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover now retired and enjoying home and pet sitting for a wide range of pets and locales. I have cared for dogs from 8-80 lbs, cats and hens. This includes administering medications for many of the dogs and cats. Having worked as a Realtor for many years, I ensure your home is also properly tended. All reviews from pet owners have been 5/5 and are available upon request. As a retired person I am available 24/7 to home and pet sit. I have been traveling to pet and home sitting engagements around the Northeast region. I am active, fit and conscientious. My interest is in homesitting having a background that includes work as interior crew in the yachting industry as well as 13 years as a Realtor in Florida. These experiences required high standards of cleanliness and responsibility for property.

“Trevor was very easy to coordinate with and did a great job looking after Lucy!”

“Anna was FANTASTIC! We were in Essex for a wedding and needed someone to watch our 16 week old puppy. Anna was on time, constantly sent us photos, and even helped us fix our toilet in our hotel room! We could tell our puppy had the best time with Anna. She was flexible and worked with our schedule (i.e., we had a break in the day and Anna offered to take our puppy out during that time so we could rest / get ready.) We were nervous about using Rover for the first time and were SO happy we found Anna to watch our puppy. I would work with Anna again in a heartbeat!”

About: I have been around dogs since I was 5 years old andI grew up with every breed under the sun. I currently live with a golden retriever and an small Italian greyhound mix. I trained many of my service dog’s tasks myself and love teaching old dogs new tricks. I work from home with a very flexible schedule so making sure your pets are comfy and taken care of will always be my priority! I am a service dog handler and have learned a ton about dog body language over the course of being part of a team. My goal with all the pups I interact with is to prioritize their comfort and their needs.

“We wish there was a 10 star ⭐️ option here! We never used Rover before and were hesitant to try it. We had a wedding to attend, but no one to watch our fur baby. We got our 3 year old shih tzu, Hermie, 10 months ago. We were nervous to leave him in an out of state, unfamiliar hotel room with a total stranger. Kim, surpassed our expectations, squashing our anxiety of leaving Hermie in our hotel room with her while keeping Hermie safe, busy, calm and happy till mommy and daddy got back. We became fast friends and felt like Kim was part of our family. It was a wonderful first experience with Rover and Kim did NOT disappoint us. We are blessed to have met such a caring, kind, responsible human being to care for our beloved Hermie.”

“Giuliana is an excellent dog and house sitter. She exceeds all expectations that I would have had for anyone taking care of our dogs. We actually could have a vacation and a rest away, without thinking about our animals, who seem to have had a blast without us. Giuliana cares deeply about the animals and will be a thoughtful, bright and very attentive caretaker of your dog(s).”

“Olivia was the perfect choice for our Frenchie Belle. We were able to enjoy our trip and not have to worry about anything at home while we were away.”

Heather L.

“Sylvia was amazing with our two dogs and cat, and very respectful in her time watching the house as well. She also initiated a meet and greet before to ensure all felt comfortable. Communication and everything was great overall, would highly recommend if looking for a kind caretaker for your pets too!”

Vanessa M.

“Maria (and her dog Lalo) were amazing! Boone is normally an anxious mess but he was the most relaxed and calm he’s ever been after being watched by a new person for a couple days. She was very communicative and sent pictures which made the trip less anxious for me. Will definitely be using them again!”

Gabby L.

“Haley is the best! She was great staying with Boone and very patient with his anxiety. And I appreciated her providing updates and pictures that made me feel less anxious being away.”

Gabby L.

“Jennifer took care of our puppy on a last minute request. She sent regular updates on how our puppy is doing and had an active day with our dog who needs a lot of exercise and stimulation. She has been very responsive throughout the booking process & the entire day when she watched our pup. I highly recommend Jennifer!”

About: I have taken care of my family and friend’s dogs for years. I just found out about Rover from a friend who’s been on Rover for some time and she’s told me just how fun and rewarding it is, so I am giving it a go! I have a Yellow Lab of my own “Jader” who loves going for hikes and swimming in my pond. Currently I am very flexible and would be able to provide walks, pet sitting, and potentially be willing to board on a case by case basis. I look forward to where this Rover journey takes me! At the time I am in flight school which is part time and I have quite a bit of flexibility. So days and evenings are doable. I live on a 100 acre horse farm at the end of quiet dirt road so there is very little traffic. When you come by for the first time you will think this is doggy heaven. My Lab Jader is very easy going and gets along with most dogs. Of course before entertaining any boarding I would have to see how Jader gets along with your dog. Other than that I am used to walking and hiking in public areas so walking the rec path or going up the Pinnacle would not be an issue.

“Margaret watched our home and 3 year old lab while we were out of state for a weekend. Everything was perfect. Margaret sent updates and photos throughout the weekend and kept us at ease while we were gone. Doug was lucky to make a new friend!”

About: I promise to keep your fur baby safe and happy as can be while you're away. I will provide playtime, walks, cuddles and a lot of attention. I am very interactive and not afraid to be goofy in order to make a genuine connection with your pet. Don't be afraid to leave me detailed instructions- I get it and have fur and feathered babies of my own! I am able to walk up to 2 to 3 big dogs at a time and feel confident in my abilities to give commands and appropriate rewards/disciplines. If your pet(s) gets dirty, I will bathe them as well as clean up any messes that occur. I also will keep your home sweet home neat and tidy so you never come home to a mess. I have grown up with pets and have always owned one or two.. okay, maybe 3 at a time. I make genuine connections with animals (wild ones, too) and would love to give them the opportunity to get outside all season long (even in the winter). If your pet would like an adventure buddy and companion who will distract them from your absence then give me a shout. Feel free to contact me with questions and concerns. I would be more than happy to chat with you!

About: I love dogs, and love to be around them! I can provide dog walking, doggie playtime, take them to the dog park for you, feed them, or just give them lots of snuggles! I have had pets all my life, and dogs for most of that. I used to own my own petsitting business, and loved every minute of it. I am very trustworthy and responsible. I specialize in small dogs, especially dachshunds, but all dogs are amazing and are welcome! I try my best to accomodate everyone! I am self employed so very flexible! I will also come care for your feline companions if needed! hope to hear from you and I can't wait to help you and your canine family! Thank you in advance for your business! Unfortunately I cannot host as my landlord doesn't allow pets (Cara is an exception). Keep in mind that during house sitting <especially 24 hr house suits> I will need to bring Cara with me. She LOVES other dogs so that is not an issue at all! I am available anytime to watch your furry companions! I work for myself so I am extremely flexible! I can't wait to meet your babies! Unfortunately, other than Cara, my landlord has a no pets policy so I cannot host. We can go for car rides though, or to the park, or a nice long walk!

“Sidney was wonderful. She stayed with our anxiety ridden dog and seemed perfectly unfazed. We would absolutely have her come again.”

“Mia was so great with my kittens & had so much patience with me changing plans back & forth! I highly recommend Mia!!!”
