House Sitting in Homestead

“Kayla went above and beyond for our boy! She is super reliable and took such amazing care of Jax! Just to add how amazing she is, our garage code wasn’t working and she stayed over an hour locked out trying to figure out a solution to make sure she got to Jax while we were out of town!! A+ from us!”

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even small pets like mice, rats, hamsters, and fish, I bring a lifetime of knowledge and passion to pet care. I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) with 7 years of veterinary experience and 1 year working in a pet resort, so I’m skilled at safely handling pets of all temperaments — from nervous pups to the spiciest of cats (I have one of my own!). I’m also experienced with administering medications and providing calm, compassionate care to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently not working, so my schedule is completely open. I have plenty of time to provide your pets with all the attention, care, and love they need. With my veterinary technician background, safety and trust are always my top priorities. While in your home, I provide a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m skilled in reading body language, handling nervous or fractious pets, and administering medications when needed. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with plenty of patience, compassion, and attention to their unique needs.

“5 stars for Julia! She took incredible care of my cat and was super reliable. I came home to a happy pet and a clean house. She is professional, thoughtful, and left absolutely no mess. I highly recommend her!”

“This is my third time using Amber to house sit my dog, and she’s always so great. She communicates on how she is and always sends lots of photos. Highly recommend!”

Samantha M.

“Mal was an awesome house/dog/chicken sitter for us! Great communication and photos of our dogs while we were on vacation. Will definitely book again.”

Julie S.

“I used this app because I needed a last minute dog sitter because I was able to go to the Iowa game. Friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to drop my pooch off back to me after the game. Five stars!”

Matthew M.

“Thank you for taking such good care of our pups and kitties! It was so nice to be able to check in and get a quick response when I reached out. There were lots of storms during our week away and our pups don’t handle weather events well, Tiffany made sure they were safe and comfortable! Was so nice to not have to worry about them having good care. I would recommend Tiffany to others looking for quality care of their pets while they are away.”

“Isabelle and her boyfriend took great care of our puppy. They followed our house rules and went the extra mile to give our high energy puppy plenty of activity while they were house sitting. I would definitely work with them again!”

About: Hi there! I’m a dedicated pet lover with 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I’ve worked on leash training and potty training (with great success using the bell method!), and I love helping pets feel secure and happy. I also grew up with cats and absolutely adore them, so I’m just as comfortable caring for your feline family members. My goal is simple: keep your pets happy, loved, and stress-free while you’re away! I work full-time during the week but I have a fairly flexible schedule so I can accommodate middle of the day potty breaks! I am also available during the evenings and weekends. I am able to provide a variety of services in a clients home. I can provide potty breaks, take dogs on walks, make sure they are fed, and receive lots of love and attention! I can clean litter boxes, clean up dog poop, etc. I am able to provide dog baths as needed. I have experience administering medication so I am able to assist with that as well.

“Robert is a great help when we are out of town, 3 times in the last month. Robert lives close by and is very accessible. He knows a lot about dogs and how to socialize them. He was able to walk Olive with his two dogs. Olive is well taken care of and he goes the extra mile, even putting away my grocery delivery that arrived early! Will definitely use him again.”

About: I've provided in home pet sitting for my coworkers for several years so they can enjoy a worry free vacation. I treat them as if they are family. I work full time, so staying house sitting works out best for me. This also helps your pet feel more comfortable since they are in the environment they are used to I stay in my client's home so not only are your pets being looked after, but you don't have to worry about leaving your home empty either.

About: From growing up on a farm, to all family pets- I’ve worked with them all & welcome all fur babies! I’m flexible with sitting/walking opportunities, just reach out! As recent college graduate, I’m looking to fill in some time when given! I’m flexible for timeframes, with both short and long term care experience. I’ve worked more with dog and cat sitting over longer-weekend terms, family friend wise, but my older sister and mom have many cats to love and care for. Along with basic pet care, I’ve had farm pets of all forms therefore super comfortable with various forms of pets!

“Avery did such a good job with my two, high energy pups when I was on a work trip over the weekend. She also stayed overnight at the house with the dogs and left everything in perfect condition. Would definitely have her back again!”

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. My parents share the same love for animals as I do, and I think I love them more honestly! I’ve dealt with losing a pet, and adding new additions to the family. In my eyes no breed of dog or cat is superior and I would love to meet all the pets I can!! I work part-time so I will put the days I am available into the schedule! On my days off I would be more than happy to take your dogs for walks or do drop in visits with dogs and cats! I also marked all days as available because my hours can be funky and I can sometimes work only 4 hour shifts. I take my dogs for walks frequently. They are a bit stubborn sometimes (especially my olde english) but after we get walking they love being outside! The summer heat gets to them both though, so I would love to get outside!

“Elise was wonderful to our dog and cat while we were away! The boys had a blast and hardly noticed we were gone. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”

“Used Thomas again for house/dog sitting for an entire week and felt incredibly comfortable with the care he was giving our pups and our house. So, so nice to have him stay there and give us updates and the dogs extra cuddles and treats.”

Rachel H.

“Thanks Angie for taking such great care of our 3 puppies! Angie was very prompt, responsive, and communicative. We have 2 very vocal small dogs and one senior dog. She did so great with them and we knew they were in good hands. We got regular pictures and updates. Angie also took great care of our house. Highly recommend using Angie to watch your dogs - they'll be well loved.”

Emily M.

“Lauren was absolutely amazing with Axel and Layla! I needed last second care for them and she took great care of them! She was punctual, communicative, and open to do more for them. Hands down the greatest experience I’ve had on Rover for the pups! 12/10 stars and would highly recommend her! Your fur-children will be in the best care with her!”

Emilio T.

“Aurora took great care of my puppy during her overnight stay! She was very quick at getting back to us and we were confident she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Aurora to anyone needing animal care! ?”

Lindsey B.

“First time using Rover so was slightly nervous and wasn't sure what to expect but Kaylyn helped to make it a seamless and great experience! Our girls can be big needy lapdogs at times and when we got home they said Kaylyn did great, thay felt safe and loved 😁 We love using family when able (wasn't available for this trip), but it's great to know we have a reliable back up with Kaylyn. We will be using her again in the future I'm sure.”
