House Sitting In Houghton

“Junbo is fantastic! I can't recommend her enough. She took care of my cat and high energy puppy when I was out of town for a week. She not only took my dog for a walk but took him to different hikes everyday. She takes care of the pets not just out of responsibility and accountability but also the enthusiasm and joy of being out with them. She truly enjoys the company and loves the pets she's tasked to take care of. She sends lots of photos and videos and gives frequent updates on their daily routine. Again, I highly recommend her for all the services that she offers. Will certainly hire her gain for house sitting. Thank you Junbo!!!”

“I have been using Rover for five years and have hired numerous dog sitters, but Mingxin is definitely the best one I have ever met. She is a very responsible person who pays attention to every detail of my requests. She provides great communication, always sends updates on my dog, and makes sure everything is in place. She walks my dog twice a day, taking her on long walks to explore. My dog was taken care of so well that I didn't have to worry about a thing while I was on vacation. I will definitely hire her again and I really appreciate her service!”

“This was our first time using Dmytro and it was great! Fast and consistent communication, worked well with multiple changes to the visit and sent pictures of two happy dogs!”

“Moriah watched my collie mix while I was gone and it was such a pleasure. She did a great job, especially managing my high energy dog and my dog’s medication. I look forward to booking her again next time I need a dog sitter.”

About: I have been an animal lover since childhood and truly believe that pets are our 'younger brothers' who deserve nothing but respect and affection. For the past 5 years, I’ve been a dedicated dog owner myself, which taught me the nuances of daily care and intuition. Beyond my personal life, I have 3 years of professional experience as a Rover sitter under a previous account. I don’t just 'watch' dogs; I welcome them into my home as family members, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and respected every second you are away. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, splitting my time between the office and home. My typical workday starts early at 6:00 AM and ends by 2:30 PM, though I often finish a couple of hours earlier. This early schedule is perfect for pet care because it means I am home for the majority of the day. On days I work from home, we are together 24/7. On office days, the pets are only alone for a short period before I return to dedicate my afternoon to them. Our typical walking routine includes: Morning: A refreshing early walk to kickstart the day. Mid-afternoon: A long, high-energy walk right after I finish work. Evening: A medium-length stroll before bedtime to ensure everyone is relaxed and ready for sleep. On weekends, we love to go on adventures! We frequently visit local parks to enjoy the fresh air and give the dogs plenty of space to explore. Your pet will fit right into our active and attentive daily rhythm. Creating a secure and stress-free environment is my top priority. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them, I ensure they feel like a true member of the family. A Comfortable Home Environment: Choice of Sleeping: Every guest has a dedicated "safe place" to retreat to, but I believe in total comfort. Pets are more than welcome to snuggle up in bed with me if that’s where they feel most secure and happy! Personal Space: To prevent any stress during mealtimes, each pet has their own designated station for food and fresh water. Play & Mental Stimulation: I dedicate one-on-one time to every pet for interactive play and engagement. We have a huge variety of toys to keep them entertained! Treats & Care: I love spoiling my guests with tasty treats, though I am very strict about checking for allergies or specific dietary instructions from owners first. Safety & Peace of Mind: Because I have a small, cat-friendly dog of my own, my home is already set up to be a pet-safe zone. I am very attentive to body language and ensure that all interactions between animals are supervised and positive. You can expect regular photo updates and messages so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having!

“Li was great. She showed up with a whole checklist of things that I had even forgotten would be important to bring up. She got along amazingly well with my pup. She took Kalli on a walk, and handled her very well. Was upfront about what she could and couldn't do. Definitely someone to trust with your pup. :)”

“Russell was great with our older dog and cat. He kept us updated and took our dog on great walks. He also took good care of our home. Even watered plants without being asked. He can be relied upon ti take great care of pets and home”

“Murphy absolutely loves Rachel!! She stayed with him over the weekend and it was amazing. She sent updates and pictures of Murphy everyday. I highly recommend Rachel to care for your furbabies!!”

“Sophia was just what we needed! We were gone traveling for over three weeks, and our two kitties do not do well in a kennel. Sophia provided overnight care, food, litter box cleaning, and the love our kitties needed, and brought in our mail, etc. She sent pictures along the way of cuddling and playing kittens, and arrived home to happy and well cared for cats and a clean home. Thanks, Sophia, can't wait to have you stay again. <3”

“Ana was amazing with our cats and house-sitting for us! We were planning on being gone for almost a month, and Ana was one of the few caretakers who could manage schedule like that with us. We have pretty social cats and I knew I wanted someone to stay at the house, but it turns out that my house plants and garden were probably the most complex pieces to caretake! I thought that it would be a simple request but Ana handled all of my complex care instructions magnificently. We ended up having our vacation cut short by a major medical emergency and Ana was amazingly flexible and helpful while all of our details were in flux. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Jenna was able to watch our pup Zoey while we were away for the weekend. She did a marvelous job and had such detailed notes for us. Amazing! So appreciated her willingness to work on some training. Zoey was very happy! Would definitely recommend.”

“Yu was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter and house sitter—we feel so lucky to have found her! She took such loving care of both our dog and our cat, Rosie, while we were away. From the start, her communication was thoughtful and consistent. She sent us frequent updates, complete with adorable photos and videos, which gave us total peace of mind and made us smile every day. Not only did she take our dog on long, happy walks, but she also made sure both the dog and cat were well-fed, cuddled, and clearly feeling safe and loved in our absence. We could tell they were thriving under her care. When we returned home, the house was in beautiful condition—tidy, clean, and clearly well looked after. It honestly felt like we’d left everything in the hands of a trusted friend. Yu’s calm, responsible nature and her clear love for animals make her an absolute gem. We would invite her back to watch our pets and home again in a heartbeat. If you have the chance to book her—do it!”

“Kira was an amazing dog sitter! One of our dogs has separation anxiety, and Kira did a great job keeping her calm and cared for. They also asked a lot of great questions to make sure they had all of the information they needed about our dogs while we were gone. They sent us pictures of the dogs and gave status updates while we were gone which was really appreciated! They were very flexible with time too, I was able to book them with just a few days notice, and had to stay out later than expected which was no problem for them. Overall it was a great experience, our pups seemed very happy. Thanks Kira! <3”

Natalie S.

“Josephine was great with our pups over the weekend, actively communicating during her stay and leaving the house in great condition! Will definitely ask her to watch our two dogs again in the future.”

Michael N.

“Allie was the absolute best with my kitty Izzy! She sends updates and is very thoughtful of what she needs to do for my kitty to make her as comfortable as possible. She is also a very good communicator which is so appreciated. Izzy was happy and thriving when I came home.”

“Brittany cared for my dog Poppy for 5 days and 4 nights. Nothing exciting happened while she was at my place, which is exactly how I wanted it. She spent a good amount of time with the dog (Poppy needs a high level of person interaction) and took great care of my place. Overall, highly recommended as a trustworthy person to watch your most prized possession(s).”

Ra'anan T.

“Rhiannon took amazing care of my 6 year old border collie and made sure he had lots of exercise. She left my apartment spotless and was super communicative with pictures and videos daily. Highly recommend and will be booking her again soon.”
