House Sitting Haystack

“Savannah was wonderful with my dog and cat. She kept me updated regularly, checked up on any issues, minor medical events and was very thoughtful and aware. I can tell that my pets felt very loved while i was away and got lots of play, cuddles and love. She was also a thoughtful house guest and cleaned to and formed directions well. I will happily rebook with Savannah!”

About: I've cared for dogs with very different personalities including Zina, an extremely sweet and anxious pit bull; Dash, an achey senior dachshund; and Magz, a particularly yappy and occasionally snappy little cheweenie (aka football). I have a soft spot for dogs who need a little extra love and attention, but I have yet to find a dog I don't like. Over the years, I've learned to accommodate all sorts of canine preferences: taking things slow and steady with a n anxious dog, keeping a velcro dog attached to my hip while managing other tasks, or staying mindful when a pup needs to sniff every single leaf in the neighborhood twice a day. I'm attentive to body language, facial expressions (we love a dog with eyebrows!), and changes in behavior, and I always try to assess what a dog's individual behavior means rather than assuming I know. I'm experienced with feeding routines, walks, brushing, home baths, oral medication, and simple topical treatments. I'm conscientious about following your instructions, err on the side of caution, and will communicate if anything seems off. I want to understand what makes your dog //your dog* and make sure their usual routines, preferences, and little rituals are looked after while you're away. I'm currently working part-time, primarily on weekends, and am otherwise a visual artist with a flexible schedule. Best times for me are weekday afternoons, evenings, and weekend evenings. When I'm caring for pets in their own home, I try to keep things as familiar and predictable as possible. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and settling in for the evening, while paying attention to how they're doing and what they seem to need that day. I know that having someone new around can be a little strange, so I let animals warm up in their own time and try to make my presence feel like a comfortable part of their routine. I'm conscientious about the practical things, too: keeping food and supplies where they belong, making sure doors and gates are secure, cleaning up after pets, and leaving the house as I found it. I'm comfortable staying overnight and spending extended time in clients' homes, and I treat someone's space with the same consideration I'd hope for in my own. I'm also respectful of privacy and household boundaries. I follow care instructions carefully and will reach out if I have questions or notice anything unusual. I'm happy to send photos and updates while you're away, too. My aim is for you to come home to a happy pet and a house that's just as you left it.

“Julianna was excellent at our home! She had to give our Calli some medicines, which is a challenge for me and I appreciate that Julianna had no problem in administering medications. I highly recommend her and plan on using her in the near future again!”

I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, fish, reptiles and more throughout my life. Caring for animals is a passion, and I strive doing things I love. Which is why I want to do this, and also to help people. I’m great with time management, problem solving, and technology. I’m very responsible and careful when it involves taking care of someone’s animals and home. “Treat others how you wish to be treated.” Is what I strive by everyday.

About: I’ve raised 3 puppies into adulthood. I have experience potty training puppies. I’m also good at taking pups to their vet appointment.

I can be in consistent communication with pet owners.

“I'm very impressed with the Sophia and the care she gave my pets while sitting. I will definitely be using her again. She watched over my cat Riley and my dog Lia. They both warmed up to her quickly. My dog does not normally do that. After the first night Lia warmed up to her and they became friends. Sophia always stayed in touch and sent plenty of photos for me to see how they were doing. She left my house clean and neat. I highly recomend Sophia to anyone who is looking for a conifdent, respectful, caring pet sitter.”

“David was really great with our dog and two cats. He was very attentive, responsive and provided frequent and detailed photo updates which was very appreciated. David brought a very calm energy to looking after our pets, which was very helpful considering our dog can be quite anxious. I would highly recommend booking David for your petsitting needs. For us, it was our first time using Rover, so we were a little cautious to make sure we got the right person. I felt super at ease with David, and comfortable that he was taking good care of our animals. I will definitely look to him in the future!”

“Olivia did a fabulous job managing our house and all 4 dogs while we visited family out of town. All 4 dogs had different needs and issues and Olivia was awesome at taking care of everything, even staying late when our return home flight was delayed. I would highly recommend her and will definitely rebook for house sitting and dog care !”

“Susan did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and cats for the weekend. They were well cared for and well loved, as her adorable pictures showed. She was extremely trustworthy, a great communicator and went above and beyond caring for the animals and our house. We are so lucky to have found her and can’t wait to have her come again!”

Amy O.

She sent updates and pictures during the day so that we did not worry at all when she was sitting our dogs. We will definitely have Ava on the top of our list for sitting in the future”

“Angela is a terrific sitter- very chill and experienced with dogs, good communicator, punctual, took good care of the house and was overall considerate. She followed care instructions well. Our boxers took to her immediately and they were soon playing with her in the yard and hanging out on the sofa. Great experience!”

“Vanessa watched our sweet lab Utah for 10 days while we went on vacation. I could tell Vanessa truly loves caring for animals as she spent so much time with Utah to make sure she was happy. Utah got multiple walks a day, played fetch at the park and lots of snuggles. It was quite a challenge to get Utah to part ways with Vanessa once we returned from vacation. They had become the best of buds. We are so glad to have finally found our go-to sitter for when we leave town. We also made her our regular walker as Utah demands having her in our lives!”

“Cora was great! Our special needs Frenchie was very well taken care of and was very happy when we got home. Cora is very detail oriented and thoughtful. We will definitely have her back!”
