House Sitting Hartland

“Sarah was fantastic! She took such great care of our dog and cats. She was very prompt, responsive, and sent regular updates. We will definitely book with her again. Cannot recommend her enough!”

Shannon B.

“Judy took amazing care of our elderly dog, Winston, while we were overseas for over a week—and that’s not something I take lightly. It was really hard to leave him, especially with his morning and evening meds and his full-on obsession with his ball. She was incredibly consistent and detail-oriented, which mattered a lot to me. I never had to wonder how things were going—she kept me updated with photos, quick responses to texts, and just the right amount of communication to put me at ease. She walked him, played with him (ball included, of course), and genuinely paid attention to what he needs. And when we got home, the house was exactly how we left it. Beyond all of that, she’s thoughtful, easy to communicate with, and even a little witty—which made the whole experience that much better. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was with him, and honestly, I feel really lucky we found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Winston again.”

Jeannine R.

“Lyle was a perfect house guest and wonderful pup sitter. He was on time, paid close attention to any instructions, made us feel comfortable leaving our home with our dogs in it, sent us little updates with pictures AND the girls loved him. This was our first time ever using Rover or having anyone watch the dogs at our house before, and I could not be more happy and appreciative.”

Emily S.

“Michelle was great with my Great Danes! She sent many pictures of them running around the yard, getting cozy, and just being their goofy selves. She managed meds, feeds, fun, and supported them through a stormy night. What I appreciated most is that Michelle is a great communicator! I would love to have her watch the boys again!”

Donna R.

“Corrine was great! She came over before the weekend for a "meet and greet" with our dog and cat. Our black lab/pit bull mix is a bit territorial with strangers - Corrine was very calm and allowed Luna to come to her. Within 5 minutes she was sitting on the couch next to Corrine and snuggling! Corrine kept us updated throughout the weekend and sent a few pictures of our dog and cat as well. If the need arises again, we will definitely reach out to Corrine!”

Erika M.

“Ryleigh did a fantastic job of caring for Sam while we were away. She had great communication and even went above and beyond by taking him on a walk (which he loved)! We will be using her again.”

About: I have always had a dog or cat in my life. Growing up and now I have two dogs of my own who I adore and love! I also have been a dog walker/nanny for two dogs for the past 4 years. One of these dogs was a puppy too. I have a pretty open schedule. I have a few open days a week and don’t mind driving to take care of pets. I am also open to stopping by before and/or after I get off at my other job! I have two dogs and take care of them like they are my kids! They follow me around the house and need constant attention that i love to give them. I will take care of my clients pet however they normally take care of them and follow their routine!

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I grew up on a dairy goat farm. All sorts of dogs, horses, cats, cows, goats, etc. I have had Chihuahuas all the way through German Shepherds. Puppy age all the way through their whole lives. I am the biggest animal (especially dog) lover! I love meeting new personalities. I would spend 24/7 lounging around with my dogs & cats if I could!🩷 I currently have a 16 year old Minature Schnauzer, and an under 1 year old Goldendoodle. My old girl currently takes quite a few medications and likes her alone time. My little man loves to play, be active, and requires hands on often. Therefore, I work with a spectrum of needs. I will make sure your baby has all the play time (or alone/rest time) they need!🩷 I am a professional MMA fighter & bar tend on the weekends! Most of my job consists of being at the gym just a couple hours at a time. And I live 5 minutes away from where I train! It makes spending time with & caring for pets easy and frequent. I only bar tend two days on the weekend (and my boyfriend is home most of that time too 😁 ) Home visits 🏡: In my client’s homes, I can easily care for your pets however you need. I will play games with your furry friends, lounge around with them, etc. I am a very active person & love taking long walks myself, so I would love to do that with your dog if you’d like! I am a reliable, very detail oriented gal. Whatever instructions you leave, I’ll get them done. I love when my clients can come back to a clean, comfortable space after caring for their fur babies. Boarding 🐶: I have a fenced in back yard on a quieter side street. We have an older Miniature Schnauzer, under 1 year old Goldendoodle, and two gentle, quiet cats that lounge around (pretty much keeping to themselves) 🩷 I have plenty of space in my living area to have the zoomies. I have a spare room to give your pet some rest and seclusion too! That means I also have ample room to crate your doggie, if needed. We would love to have your best friend come hang with us 🙂

“From the very first meeting with Sarah, our Mocha was so enamored with her! They got along well, and I'm sure our Mocha enjoyed Sarah's young energy, which we, as owners, don't have so much of any longer. :) There were a couple of scheduling glitches, but overall we were very happy. The one big thing was when we came home, Mocha didn't appear stressed out, as sometimes she has in the past. That's a big deal. Thanks so much, Sarah!”

Sue P.

“Elin is wonderful, all our animals were very happy and it was a great experience for all of us.”

About: I have been taking care of animals of many different breeds and species for almost my whole life! I have owned rodents, reptiles, aquatic animals, avians, and canines alike! I currently own a chocolate lab who is the love of my life and have experience taking care of her while my parents are on vacation! I am a big lover of all creatures and give them the special treatment they deserve! I am currently working part time at Ulta around 11-15 hours a week. I am usually home in the afternoons or early mornings to take care of pets. I am also a student who goes to school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays this semester. I take my dog out on night walks and usually feed her early in the morning so she is set for the day! I have safe locks and a wide yard for my dog to roam. She also has an E-collar to keep her safe so she knows where her boundaries are. We also get rid of trees that may cause hazards. We have flat ground too.

“Rhiannon was absolutely amazing housesitting our 2 dogs, who are 3 and 8 years old, while we were out of town. She was very flexible in coming over to meet our dogs prior to watching them. Both our dogs loved her immediately. We definitely will be rebooking her in the future while we are out of town.”

Would you like it more formal, more friendly, or customized to your business style? Explain pet sitter routine adherence Pet sitter routine adherence means following a pet’s established daily schedule exactly as the owner outlines so the animal experiences consistency, comfort, and stability while their family is away. It’s one of the core pillars of professional pet care because pets rely heavily on predictable patterns to feel safe. Here’s a clear, professional explanation you can use in your policies, website, or client materials: 🐾 What “Routine Adherence” Means in Professional Pet Sitting ⭐ Following the Owner’s Instructions Precisely A professional sitter sticks to the pet’s normal schedule — feeding times, walk durations, medication windows, play preferences, crate routines, and bedtime habits. This reduces stress and keeps the pet’s internal rhythm stable. ⭐ Maintaining Familiar Patterns Pets thrive on predictability. Routine adherence ensures: Meals happen at the same time Walks follow familiar routes Litter boxes are cleaned on the usual schedule Treats and enrichment match the owner’s guidelines Sleep and rest periods stay consistent ⭐ Respecting Behavioral Needs Some pets require structure to feel secure — especially seniors, anxious animals, or pets with medical conditions. Routine adherence helps prevent behavioral issues like pacing, whining, or refusal to eat. ⭐ Supporting Health & Safety Sticking to the routine ensures medications are given on time, dietary restrictions are followed, and physical activity is appropriate for the pet’s age and condition. ⭐ Providing Stability During Owner Absence When everything else changes — the environment, the person caring for them — the routine becomes the anchor. Adhering to it helps pets feel calm, confident, and cared for. Want me to write this as a polished section for your Safety & Environment Policy, Welcome Packet, or Website?

About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals of all kinds. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and a wide variety of other animals, including those with special needs or unique personalities. Being a wildlife rehabber for over a decade means I am accustomed to all species of animals and am familiar with proper handlling techniques, medical needs, dietary needs etc. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, medications, cleaning, enrichment, and providing plenty of individual attention. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and respect I give my own. I work during the day typically from 1230-2pm. Available any time after that to help however possible. I am available most days of the week. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely for feeding, medications, walks, enrichment, and household routines. I’m experienced with different personalities and temperaments, and I always take the time to let animals become comfortable with me at their own pace. I keep their environment clean and secure and provide plenty of attention while respecting each pet’s individual needs.
