House Sitting Highland

“Thomas was terrible! JUST KIDDING! I just want to keep him only for when I need him!😁 I couldn’t ask for anything more. He initially responded quickly. Showed up when we planned. He kept in touch with me. Sent pictures of my dogs when he was with them and left my house tidy. TJ, thank you again!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Donna stayed overnight with our cats and dogs and took absolutely amazing care of all of them. She was reliable, kind, attentive, and connected so easily with each of our pets. We have a lot to manage, and we know caring for all of them is no small task, but she handled everything so wonderfully. It was such a comfort knowing they were in such loving and capable hands while we were away. When we came home, the house looked great, and our pets were happy and well cared for. She is truly thoughtful, responsible, and loving, and we would absolutely trust her with our pets again. We highly recommend her!”

“Shana was our first experience with Rover and it was great place to start. Shana communicated well leading up to the stay and even visited twice to get the lay of the land. During the stay, Shana haves updates, sent pics, and asked questions when necessary. When our usual sitter took over the second portion of our trip, they reported that the house was in good order. Thanks!!”

“Stefanie was amazing to work with! She is great at communicating about how your pets are doing and sends lots of photo updates that will help put your mind at ease while you're away from your pets. A few random issues cropped up with our pets while Stefanie was with them and she was great about keeping us updated, and I was confident that she was taking the best possible care of them. Our dog loved spending a weekend with Stefanie and I'm sure yours will too!”

“Tim is so great! Kind - big hearted - and took great care of our two Australian Shepherds while we were away. He sent pictures and updates and was so thoughtful.”

“Melanie was a true gift to us. She took great care of Kolya and Emma, dedicated to their well being from second 1 through the end. I was updated regularly and enjoyed their interactions from afar. I came home to two very content and happy camper cats. I could tell how fond they were of Melanie and how well she tuned into their distint personalities. She communicated very well and left our apartment in excellent state. Highly recommend. Thank you.”

“Tess was so wonderful with our senior pup - he felt safe with her and was very well taken care of, with plenty of walks and snuggles.”

About: Animal lover with vet hospital experience. My experience ranges from socializing puppies and teaching basic manners to caring for seniors with medical needs. Very practiced in the world of Chihuahua IYKYK 🐶 I’ve worked with traumatized rescues and understand their needs. I can administer medications and care for sick pets. Extensive experience with caring for pets in recovery from surgery as well. Also available to take your pet to vet visits if needed. References available. Custom care for medical & special needs may have extra fees. My current schedule is flexible and I will work with you and your pets individual needs as best as possible. Tiki and I love furry company! I am also available for drop in visits and walking at your home. Pet focused home with a fenced in backyard. Your pet will be cared as if they are part of our family. We live in a very pet friendly neighborhood and walking is very safe and accessible.

About: I am an Artist who works from home a lot and would love some extra furry companionship :) I understand that being in a new place with new people can feel stressful for the first time. We can go on long walks together at least twice a day and then they can sleep where ever they are most comfortable. I have a flexible schedule most days, so I can work around any animal care that may be needed. I love having furry companions around. We will play fetch, drink lots of water, go for walks and probably just hangout and read together. Right now I am working freelance so I can arrange my schedule as needed to make animal accomodations. I love to start my day with animal smiles. First I like to survey the areas of the home to make sure there isn't anything dangerous that has been mistakenly left out that might cause harm. And then we can establish a place for the pet items so they can start to feel more comfortable in a new environment. I also make sure the water bowl is always filled.

“Patricia was amazing. Our newly adopted doghas separation anxiety and continued to give her a run for her money the whole first part of the second day. She was patient with Lucy and in the end we were so happy to be able to complete our vacation without worries. We will definitely have her back”

About: I really love being around animals as they bring a lot of joy. Over the years I have pet sat for various family friends, co-workers, colleagues, and friends of friends pets. While pet sitting not only have I been responsible to feed the pets, give them water, let them out to relieve themselves, clean up after the pets, and take them out for a walk but I also have looked after the house. Additionally, I have been working for a company so couples beloved dogs can attend their weddings. Previously, I have volunteered by fostering dogs and dog walking. I am available most weekends and off most holidays. I do work full time so if it is anything during the week I do not get home until after 5 pm. Anything during the week I need to know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly. I would care for your pets as one of my own. I am flexible and come to your pets home so they are comfortable in their own environment.

“Jasmine was awesome! She kept us updated on how our dogs were doing and sent great photos. She was professional and left my house as she found it. Definitely going to book her again!”

About: I am a freelance content writer and artist picking up odd jobs in mid-life while working on writing my book, caring for my partner, and trying to give back to the world. I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and am the first person that friends, colleagues and acquaintances call when they need pet-sitter. I have my own 5-year-old Great Pyr / Catahoula mix who has endless amounts of energy, a quirky sense of humor and is my very best friend. I also call Sgt. Pepper (a 16 lb, 16-year-old Mini Pin / Poodle mix) my dog because he is such a beloved member of our family, but technically he belongs to my mom and lives with her in Nevada so I make special trips to see them both as often as I can! I’ve helped house train puppies, trained my own dogs, walked both chihuahua-sized dogs and Great Danes, babysat for pit bulls and other rescues with high anxiety who need special care and attention around other people and animals, and have also cared for sick cats and dogs, including cooking special meals for them, giving saline injections to a cat with kidney disease, and administering meds and therapeutic treatments for sick and/or senior cats and dogs. I’ve also had to wash a few dogs down with Tecnu after getting sprayed by skunks (!) and tended to lots of belly aches, bug bites and other mild issues that can befall any kind of pup. I genuinely love spending time with dogs of all kinds and think they are the greatest blessing on earth. I would love to offer care, attention, love, exercise and snuggles for your dog when you need extra help :) I am a freelancer so I work completely on my own schedule. I can make time for walks, check-ins, feedings and more anytime throughout the day and into early evening (preferably before 9pm). I come to your home to care for your pet. I understand that different pets will have different needs so we can talk beforehand and agree on what is best for your pet! I am open to making multiple visits per day for feeding and attention, staying at the house for a certain amount of hours as needed, walking your pet (willing and able to do both long, strenuous walks/hikes or short jaunts around the neighborhood), playing games with them, training exercises and even taking them to a local dog park to run if they enjoy that. I have my own dog at home and she absolutely loves other dogs and getting to play when she has visitors.

About: I am an animal lover and have ample experience sitting for cats and dogs. While I have a cat of my own, I love dogs and taking care of them as well. I am currently working a part-time remote job, so I am able to check in on pets whenever needed throughout the day. I am also happy to hang out with them while I work if they tend to get lonely throughout the day! I have a cat at home who is anxious and does not get along with other pets, so while I can’t offer boarding at my own house, I am committed to giving your pets the best care possible from the comfort of their own home environment.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats for families and friends, I know how to read body language and know when I've crossed boundaries. I always have patience for animals. I'm working part time so I have a lot of time available to work with pets, check in on them, and stay with them if needed. I am totally available for overnights, I'm a night owl so I can always check in with a pet and take care of them.

About: I currently own an amazing certified Good Boy Austalian Cattle Dog and two snuggly cats. I have have always owned at least one pet, both cats and dogs since I was little. I have done a decent amount of pet sitting for neighbors and friends. I have even had to give oral meds to one dog I dog sat. If you have any questions, please ask! Dogs will always get at least a 15 minutes walk because my dog usually needs a longer one. I sometimes give my cats and dog breakfast and then usually give the dog a quick 15 walk in the morning before leaving for work at 7:30 am. I get back home around 3:00 pm and usually give my dog his actual long walk between 40 and 70 minutes depending on weather. I feed the animals and then have dinner and usually just relax and snuggle on the couch with at least one of the fur kids. I fit in other cleaning and what not in there but I always make it a point to walk my doggo and make sure they get snuggles since I am gone for a good portion of the day. I have room for a crate for a crate trained dog. I have a moderately sized backyard that is well fenced in. My dog is a counter surfer so we have baby gates for both the kitchen and the extra bedroom. The extra bedroom serves as the cat room so the cats have a dedicated space. Stuff can be adjusted if you have a cat not used to dogs, so they can have that entire room or vice versa our cats can go in there for a dog that is not cat friendly. We only live five minutes from Marbletown Animal Hospital of any emergencies arise needing urgent care if your vet is not available.

“Grateful to Elisha for a long stretch watching our very sensitive Cavalier. When we arrived home, Millie seemed calm, healthy and well cared for. While we were away, Elisha shared picks of Millie and stayed on top of her daily routine. It takes the stress away when you have someone who is reliable and conscientious. Will definitely book Elisha again.”

“Lexi watched my three pets, including an older special needs cat. Her communication was wonderful - great question, photos and updates, and just a cheerful confidence that helped me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. They and the house were in great shape when I returned and I could tell the cats and dog were well cared for. Thank you so much!”
