House Sitting Horstville

“Christina took great care of our fur babies while we were out of town getting married! We have never had someone stay in our home to take care of our animals besides family and there were no issues.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, potty breaks, check-ins, and keeping them company. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines such as giving treats, cleaning up after pets, providing exercise, playing fetch, giving them attention and affection, and making sure they are comfortable and safe in their home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable and secure. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and able to recognize when a dog may need space, extra attention, or reassurance. I’m currently a part-time college student looking for a part-time position that fits around my class schedule. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to balance school, work, and pet-care responsibilities. I’m available to provide pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and other pet-care services around my school and work commitments. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents in advance to discuss their pets’ routines, needs, and preferences to ensure I provide reliable, consistent, and loving care. I’m committed to treating every pet with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I would give my own. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have a safe and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take pet safety seriously and always follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, medication directions, and exercise needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and will treat their pets and belongings with the same care I would want for my own.

“Took great care of my fur babies! Will use again:)”

“Bryce was a great dog/house sitter. Chai and Sassy were well cared for and he walked them daily. He also gave Sassy extra walks to burn off some of her energy. We appreciated the daily updates (photos) showing their well being. The dogs seemed contented when we returned home. Bryce arrived on time and kept our house neat and clean. We would definitely hire him again.”

“Tori was great! And I am so grateful I have such a trustworthy and capable person to call on to manage my 100+ pound (beloved) boy, and 14-pound grouchy old lady. :-)”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have had dogs most of my life. I have two dogs of my own, so I know how much they mean to their owners and how important it is to have someone you can trust with them. I’m very hands on with my dogs and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, spending time outside, and just hanging out with them. I’m comfortable with big dogs, high energy dogs, and dogs that just want some love and attention. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I work full-time Tuesday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, so I’m available for pet care after 3:30 PM on those days. I’m available all day Sunday and Monday. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and will do my best to work around your needs. I can usually accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays with a little notice. I’m also happy to work out a schedule that keeps your dog comfortable and on their normal routine while you’re away. I know it can be stressful leaving your dog and your home with someone you don’t know, so I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’m reliable, respectful, and easy to communicate with. I’ll follow your instructions and your dog’s normal routine, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you know everything is going well.

About: There hasn’t been a time in my life when I didn’t have an animal by my side. I have extensive, hands-on experience owning, fostering, sitting, and walking all kinds of animals. I truly understand that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs, and I pride myself on stepping in to provide seamless, consistent care—picking up exactly where you left off. Whether your pet needs high-energy play, strict medical/routine management, or just gentle, attentive companionship, I am here to provide peace of mind. Whatever you and your animals need, I'm your girl! I work full-time providing home care for adults with mental health and developmental disabilities. Because my shifts can be non-traditional, clear communication is my absolute priority to ensure your pet's schedule is perfectly maintained. I keep my Rover calendar strictly updated with my work hours so you always know my exact availability before booking. If an 8-hour shift overlaps with your needed care times, we will discuss a seamless game plan beforehand to ensure your pet is fully looked after. Outside of my shift hours, I put focus on pet care. My background makes me highly routine-oriented, meaning I am incredibly reliable when it comes to early morning check-ins, evening walks, or overnight sitting blocks. I believe every pet deserves the perfect fit. If my work schedule ever conflicts with what your pet needs, I will be completely transparent upfront so you can find the best match for them. If we are a match, you can count on absolute reliability, consistent updates, and a dedicated sitter who treats your schedule—and your pet—with total respect! Whether I am caring for your pet in the comfort of your own home or hosting them with me, safety and open communication are my absolute top priorities. I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect, ensuring a secure, low-stress environment. I strictly follow your household rules, feeding schedules, and medication timelines. Keeping their environment consistent prevents anxiety while you are away.

“Alexandra was amazing! She exceeded our expectations for communication, attention to detail, and care of our pets and home. Even our feral kitty let her pet him! We will definitely ask her to housesit for us again!”

About: Animals have been part of my life since I was an early adult, and caring and connecting with them comes naturally. As a wellness coach, husband and father of two, I’m big on structure, patience, and creating a calm, safe inviting environment for every dog I work with. I’m active outdoors, hiking, walking trails, and exploring around in the neighborhood, so your dog will get plenty of movement and attention. I will always adapt movement and attention needs to your liking. I’ve handled everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior dogs, and I’m confident with feeding routines, medication reminders, crate-training basics, and helping anxious dogs feel secure. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated with photos, check-ins, and clear communication so you always know your dog is in good hands. Whether your dog needs long walks, overnight care, or a dependable companion while you’re away, I bring consistency, kindness, and professional-level responsibility to every stay. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and set my own schedule. I’m already outdoors often, walking, working on the yard, biking, or taking my own dog out around the neighborhood or on the trails, so adding your pup into my day is a seamless fit. I’m available for boarding service either at my home or yours for 2-4 days during the week and weekend boarding requests as well. Your dog will always get consistent attention, movement, and care, never rushed or squeezed into a busy schedule. I provide a calm, structured environment that helps dogs feel comfortable the moment they arrive. My home in Fair Oaks has a large, fenced yard with plenty of safe space to explore. Outdoor time is always supervised, gates stay secured, and I keep clear routines for feeding, play, and rest so dogs settle in smoothly. We have two friendly dogs of our own, a Papillon and a Min Pin/Jack Russell mix, who enjoy having new companions around. They’re social, well-behaved, and help create an easygoing atmosphere for visiting pups. If a dog prefers their own space, I can separate areas to make sure everyone feels relaxed. For boarding in my home, I do require that dogs are potty trained. If you’re still working on potty training, I’m more than happy to support that process in your home. I’m also comfortable with crate routines, senior care, medication reminders, and maintaining whatever structure your dog is used to. As a father and longtime pet owner, safety and communication are top priorities, I send photo updates and check-ins so you always feel connected while you’re away.

About: Most recently have worked last couple years at dog boarding ranch - I love keeping dogs happy, active, and healthy. All sizes and needs welcome! I'm very flexible with scheduling! I currently enjoy lots of free time and love taking on new pets to make my days even more enjoyable. Completely at your service! Whether its dog walking, home sitting, or drop-ins, I treat every pup like it's my own. I genuinely ensure the wellbeing of every single pet in my care and will respect any individual needs or preferences of the owner.

“A week before our trip our family member cancelled watching our 3 dogs and home. We panicked! I remembered seeing Jennifer’s dog sitting ad on Facebook. I downloaded Rover on my phone and set up my account. I looked all through Rover till I found her. She immediately contacted me back and we set up a meet and greet to see how she was around the dogs. She was great, very sweet and caring with our pups! We hired her through Rover which was a very easy process. She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend. They even all ate their dinners for her which is a challenge for my Yorkie and Havanese. I greatly appreciated the updates and pictures throughout the trip. I would highly recommend Jenifer for the love and care of your pets while you’re away. She’s trustworthy, dependable, and awesome communication.”

“Misty was amazing! She exceeded our expectations. I knew our fur babies were being loved and cared for by all the communication and pics that she sent. I came home to my house even cleaner than I left it ? I would definitely recommend.”

DeAnna P.

“Brenna was absolutely incredible. Very respectful, understanding, and committed. She was very engaged and learning about our dog, their needs and personalities. My dogs seemed immediately comfortable with her. She was professional while also carrying a sense of familiarity and comfort. She also seems to come with a lot of experience in caring for others.”

“Shannon truly loves doggies! I have 3 seniors, who each have their own set of medical issues… collapsing trachea, epilepsy, arthritis, allergies, severe separation anxiety just to name a few… so I agonize over having to leave them. Shannon made this recent trip so much easier. She loved each one how they wanted, as they are so very different… She walked the one that liked walking, rubbed the belly of the one who can’t walk anymore and gave the mamma’s boy, who is not overly fond of others, his space and loved him on his terms when he was ready. I received lots of photos and videos, which was so reassuring to know they were happy and well taken care of. Shannon kept me informed along the way with both the ups and downs, which was very much appreciated. She did not give up when my seizure baby would not take his medication and tried every trick in the book including running out to the store for some new temptations… I know it can be frustrating and also stressful knowing without the medication, he will have a seizure but Shannon loved him on his terms and kept trying until it all fell into place. Having Shannon for this trip was a game changer for sure and I am so thankful for her!”

Audrey R.

“Thank you so much Jennifer. I really appreciate you taking such good care of my baby. I'll be reaching out again very soon! Hope you are available !!”

About: There's something about caring for dogs and cats that brings my heart alive. There's nothing I'd rather do than care lovingly attentively for these animals. I am a retired English teacher, and my time is unlimited. I prefer long term, overnight sitting in your home. I am fit and love walking and playing with your loved one. I treat them as if they were my own. Having been raised caring for my families dogs, cats, horses, cows, ducks, fish, and even peacocks, I am most comfortable with animals. I follow instructions, administer medicine when necessary, and leave your home in perfect condition as you left it. Some folks say I'm too old to do this...I know I'm not. I can walk 2 miles easily with dogs. I have described my affection for dogs and cats which I hope reflects the care I will provide, and I would be so pleased to serve you.

“Preslie was awesome! She took lola for walks everyday and sent me adorable pics!”

About: I most recently worked at an animal hospital as a veterinary technician, but just recently moved back to the area, and am in between jobs which means I have a lot more time to spend some quality time with your pets. I have grown up with dogs and cats and I have lots of experience with pet care including managing their medical needs as well. I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets!! Currently I am in between jobs because I just moved back to the area, but was previously a veterinary technician for 2 years. This gives me a lot of time to spend some quality time with your animals :) I also am experienced with giving medications and injections to cats and dogs. I provide reliable care tailored to each pet, and try and stick to a set routine to reduce stress and increase a pet’s comfort. I also make pet safety a priority by following house rules, checking doors, and make sure the space stays clean.
