House Sitting in Hat Island

“We are so lucky to have found Thomas. We had to go out of town for a few days and needed someone to take care of out 2 pups. We found Thomas and he came over to our house and met the pups first. They immediately took to him. He came back once again before the sit to see exactly how we feed and their routine. (he lives nearby). He sent multiple pics and videos during the sit and the pups were having a great time. He took them for 2 long walks a day and took care of our garden and kept our home safe. Upon our return, the house was perfect and the pets happy and well cared for. We will definitely invite him back in the future!”

“We were so grateful that Ayah and her husband were able to care for our dog and house during Thanksgiving break so that we visit with our extended family. This was our first time with a house/dog sitter, so we were a little nervous. They met us and our pup a couple of weeks prior to us leaving, which boosted our confidence. They were very respectful of our house and left it in great condition. (They even asked for permission in advance to invite a family member over for a few hours for Thanksgiving Day.) Ayah was responsive to our communication throughout the trip, and we were so glad to see our happy pup upon our return. We were appreciative that he could stay on his own couch all week and have a stress-free week with new friends. :)”

“Natasha was wonderful! We met her first and knew right away she would take care of our pup with great care. While we were away, Natasha sent us daily notes and pictures of how Whisky was doing. Playing with her dog, Jasper, was an added bonus for Whisky! We will definitely be having Natasha come stay with Whisky again! Thank you Natasha! Our trip was worry free 😊”

“Emelia was great with my cat and dog. This is the second time she has pet-sit for me and both times I couldn’t be happier. I get updates and photos every day and the animals are well exercised so they’re calm when I get home. And she makes the apartment look better than when I left it.”

About: I have a Bachelors Degree in Animal Sciences including Care and Training of canines. I work to partner with clients to ensure that your fur-baby has safe and enjoyable care. I work remotely full-time and live on lots of land that neighbors two local wooded trail areas for lots of exercise. I work remotely and have the flexibility to play and exercise your pups often if they are boarding. For drop-in's or walking services, I will work with you to establish a routine that fits best for you and your pup. I have a large fenced and non-fences yard space. I have a small very-friendly five pound Yorkie Mix who would love to keep a play mate occupied as well. If providing services at home, I pay attention to detail and ensure to provide your pet with as much stability and normalcy as possible while you are away.

“Gabrielle did an EXCELLENT job watching our dog and cat over Thanksgiving in our home! She provided daily photos and updates, took our dog on neighborhood walks, and we returned home to a perfectly clean house AND well-fed and happy four-legged family members! I felt completely relaxed with them in her care! I will happily book her again!! Thanks Gabrielle!”

“It was clear how much Christine cherished our pets - despite our dog being a true handful. She bought them new toys and communicated with us often. Providing crisp, clear instructions seemed to be helpful”

“Katie stepped in on very short notice to care for Petunia for three days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. It's clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I would definitely book with Katie again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

About: I've taken care of many foster pets from puppies to seniors and have always had 2 or more dogs in my household. I volunteered for a few years at a local shelter cleaning cages and giving those babes as much love and attention as I could. I hope your pup and I can have a great time! I'm currently not working so I am available for your pup anytime! I'm dedicated to giving them the best care that I can and often! I have a sweet rescue husky of my own who loves to meet new friends. Your pup will enjoy running around on our 3 acres or even a trip to the park! If your pup prefers walks I live in a large suburb with many great routes!

“Have rebooked Roxane multiple times. She's very responsible and caring. We always come home to a happy dog and clean house. Highly recommend.”

About: Hello, My name is Fernando and I can’t wait to meet you or your pet! I currently work a full time job and I’m doing this as a side gig. My aunt and uncle got 2 dogs 4 years ago and his/her name are Dom and Letty Torreto (yes those are the names from Fast and the Furious). I have been taking care of their dogs for the last 4 years when my aunt and uncle travel. I usually spend multiple nights at their house until they come back home. I love being around dogs because they show me joy and they’re one of the loyal affectionate animals. I am responsible and I’ll give a lot of one on one attention to your pet. I’m currently working a full time job, so my days off are Sunday and Monday. During the week my schedule is random but I’ll definitely try make the time to take care of your pet. I’m able to give your dog all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. If you have an athletic dog, we can go on a run or go to the dog park! If your dog is less active, we can bring the activity level to where your dog is more comfortable and relaxed.

“Nicole is such a caring and kind person. I requested her to come over and play with my puppy and take him for walks and I don’t think I could have picked a better person. She is very attentive towards my dogs needs and truly does treat him like he is her own. Being that I have a puppy, she was working with him to continue his training as well while I was away. I would definitely have her watch my puppy again!”

About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember, everything from tiny hamsters to a 180-pound English Mastiff! I have experience for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. Currently, I have two dogs of my own: a feisty Chihuahua and an energetic English Mastiff puppy - the ultimate dynamic duo! I'm comfortable caring for puppies who are still working on potty training as well as senior dogs who need extra love, attention and patience. Whether it's playtime, feeding, walking or just keeping your pet company. I'm happy to provide reliable and loving care while you're away! I am currently in limbo waiting to start my part-time job and will continue to work as a pet sitter once I start. I am free on the weekends as well as starting at noon every week day but not before. I have a fenced-in yard where my dogs can safely play and get some fresh air. When my puppy is outside, I always supervise to ensure he stays safe and never out of sight. Inside the house, I keep things clean and organized, especially to make sure that small objects are out of reach from curious little chompers!

“Macyn sent us lots of photos of our three pets and was flexible with our communication and time constraints (for a portion of our trip we could only send emails and she updated us via email). Our place was clean and our linens were laundered when we came home. Thanks Macyn!”

About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes. I have also cared for cats. I have experience with aggressive breeds as well as training puppies. I have been relied on for feeding, bathing, walking, and the overall care of people’s pets. I have been a stay at home mom and caregiver for over 20-years to 4 beautiful kids and many fur-babies. Now that my kids are fully grown I have more time to focus on my passion for animals. I believe that all pets should receive the same love and care they give to their "humans". I also firmly believe that there are NO bad pets and that with the proper care, love and training ALL pets can be good pets. I will treat your pet with the same love and care I give to my own. I will reinforce the training commands and prompts your pet has been taught to ensure their behavior is consistent whether you are home or away. I am available during the week for walking, home sitting, or drop-in visits. I currently do not offer weekend pet services due to family commitments. I offer care to pets in your own home and will keep them on the schedule and training that is consistent with what is desired by their owners.

“I am so happy that I found Nicole! I have used Rover on 4 or 5 other occasions for my two dogs and I don’t think I have ever really felt at ease leaving them in someone else’s care. From our first meeting I could tell Nicole is a huge animal lover. She read my dogs personalities off the bat and they felt comfortable with her and she just wanted to live up on them. During her time to care for them she was responsive, sent updates without me asking, and I could tell my pups were happy in the photos she sent. She kept our home clean and even went a few steps beyond what we asked of her. I would 100% recommend her!”

Shannon F.

“Cannot recommend Ireland enough!! She is an expert dog sitter and it showed through the way she cared for our dog. My wife and I took our first vacation after getting our puppy Brooks, and didn’t worry once while we were away. Ireland sent photos regularly and quite frankly Brooks looked happier than ever. Brooks is a 10 month old vizsla and is very high energy, watching him is not for the faint of heart. Along with coming home to a happy puppy, we came home to a clean home. Ireland will be our go to dog sitter from this point forward!!!”

“Very communicative and responsible!”

“Bailey is the best! We always feel relaxed when we leave our pups with her because we know she will love on them as if they are her own. She also cleans up after herself and leaves the light on for us when we arrive back home after dark. It’s thoughtful touches like this that makes Bailey one of our favorite dog sitters on rover.”

About: For over two decades, my life has been joyfully filled with wagging tails, wet noses, and happy chaos! It’s meant adventure walks (sniffing every important scent!), mastering mealtime quirks (from wiggle dances to secret cheese pockets!), and unleashing pure playtime fun – epic fetch, splash sessions, and triumphant tug-of-war. The real magic? Building trust with countless furry friends, from shy pups seeking belly rubs to ecstatic "repeat offenders." It's been pure joy, one muddy paw, contented sigh, and unconditional friendship at a time. The best kind ! I’m fairly open and can typically work with your schedule! 7 day a week availability all year! Just reach out to talk about your specific needs. Providing vigilant care and maintaining secure environments – in my own home and yours – is always the priority. Safety and well-being come first, everywhere.🐾
