House Sitting Howard

“Erin was an absolutely AMAZING Rover sitter for our two cats while we were away on vacation. She sent picutures everyday and gave updates on how our cats were doing. Erin also went above and beyond doing extra responsibilities around our house to help out the cats i.e. cleaning out the litter boxes. She came early before our vacation time to walk through the house and get the instructions. Erin was amazing, I would highly recommend to anyone who needs a Rover sitter. I plan on hiring her for any future vacations we have planned.”

“Gabrielle did an amazing job with our two pups I get anxious leaving them and she put me at ease with staying in contact and picture updates :) we have a senior dog that needs more care and assistance with medications and she nailed it! 10/10 would recommend will have her in our home again anytime! Thank you again!”

“Bridget was great and Vanessa loved her. I appreciated the daily updates with videos & photos. It was our first time trying in home care while we were away and we are very pleased with Bridget as our choice. We will definitely rebook when we go away in the future.”

About: i’ve looked after dogs since I was around six or seven. I’m not allowed to have a dog in my current house so I’d love to borrow yours! i’m happy to care for your pets before work, on my lunch break, and after work. I am also available most weekends. I have a good bit of flexibility in my schedule. I understand that every pet has unique needs and I’m happy to accommodate whatever they require. I bring a calm presence or a playful attitude as needed.

About: My love for animals started at a young age along with my desire to protect and care for them. What I can offer you is my commitment, dedication, and loyalty. I've completed a year working as a Kennel Assistant at the Central Maui Animal Clinic in Kahului. Basically what I do is clean kennels; set up kennels so it's more of a "comfy" feeling for the animals; take dogs outside to play & poop; provide food & water; and lastly, administer medications if necessary. I admit that I'm not quite comfortable administering medications, but if you explain it to me thoroughly, then I'll be more than happy to do it! I've had a fair share of what it's like working with animals. I mostly specialize in puppies; dogs; kittens; and cats. With that being said, it's safe to say that I do have some experience, but not quite as advanced. I wish I could expand on the services that Rover suggests, but the services that I can offer you are: house sitting; drop-in visits; doggy day care; and dog walking. I look forward to meeting up with you and your lovable fur babies. I'm currently working full-time, 4 10 hour shifts a week from 7:30am to 5:30pm. That means that I have 3 days off (Sunday - Tuesday) and work Wednesday - Saturday. The days that I'm off, I can provide the services that are stated above in "Pet Care Experience". The days that I do work, I can provide house sitting services and drop-in visits since I mostly work through the whole day. Living in a low income apartment has made it difficult for me to care for pets, so it will be very unlikely that I'll be able to care for your pets in my home. Hence, this is why I won't be able to provide any boarding services. I like to think of myself as a very respectful, considerate, compassionate, and trustworthy person. As I've gotten older, I realized that everyone has boundaries. My utmost purpose is to prove to you that you can trust me and that I'll be respectful towards caring for your pets and household as if they were my own.

About: I graduated with a degree in animal science from the University of Wisconsin- River Falls in 2023. I've been dog/ cat sitting for years, I grew up with 2 family labs and I have trained 3 service dogs through a non-profit company down in Madison. Whether I'm hanging out with a high-energy pup or a senior dog who just wants a comfy spot and some company, I always adjust my care to match their needs. I am big on routine, clear communication and creating a calm, positive environment while you're away. Lastly and most importantly, I treat every dog like they're my own: with patience, respect, and plenty of love. I’m available for pet care during mornings and afternoons, with consistent availability throughout the week. While I don’t accommodate last-minute bookings, I’m happy to schedule in advance to ensure your pet gets the attention they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check-in, or afternoon playtime, I’ll work with you to create a routine that keeps your pet happy and comfortable. I specialize in caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure while you are gone. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m respectful of your space, keep things clean, and always provide regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet (and your home) are in good hands. My goal is to make your time away as smooth as possible—for both you and your furry family member

About: I am someone who genuinely has a love for all dogs and strives to provide the best care possible. Your dog will become a member of our family while in our care. I am a full time stay at home mom to a 6 year old and 3 year old. Adding a dog to the mix would bring us great joy and would be an awesome addition to our daily life. I am home all the time and can provide a loving and engaging environment for your dog. I have a large yard and lots of nearby trails for walks.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for many years, and I truly see them as part of the family. I’m taking a dog groomer certification course, which has given me hands-on experience handling dogs of many different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I am very comfortable reading a dog’s body language, recognizing when they’re nervous or uncomfortable, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’ve also helped in a dog daycare environment, where I gained experience caring for multiple dogs with different energy levels and needs. I’ve cared for dogs at all stages of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. My experience even includes assisting with a dog giving birth and helping care for newborn puppies. I understand how much attention and specialized care dogs can need during different stages of life. I’m comfortable following individual feeding, potty, medication, exercise, grooming, and daily care routines. I’m happy to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away and give them plenty of playtime, enrichment, affection, and cuddles. My goal is to provide the same loving, attentive care I’d want for my own dog—and to make sure you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I currently work a morning job 3 days a week until about noon, and I work afternoons mostly from home. i also live with multiple people who also can provide excellent care if I am away. My mother is also a Rover pet sitter :). We have our home sectioned off into 3 spots. a transition area for when your pet arrives. That leads into the living room where your pet is welcome on all furniture, plenty of space to play, and access to our fenced back yard. If your dog needs time to adjust to a new space this is a great option for them. We also have 2 bernedoodles, if your pet is comfortable then they are welcome into the the main space of the house with our dogs. They are gentle giants.

“Danny provided an excellent experience for us and our pup!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets for a couple of years. I have dog sat for many different kinds of dogs and have also taken care of cats before. I enjoy dog walking as well. I have two dogs at home and love playing with them and getting their energy out. I currently am in school full time and have a part time job, but am looking to be able to care for pets or provide other services in my free time. I will be out of the green bay area mondays and tuesdays for school, but am around most of the week otherwise! I will make sure that the animals are comfortable and get the best care that they can. I will crate them when needed or can help in whatever ways needed!

About: I worked at Petco in Virginia for three Summers me and my wife have had animals since we've been together which is 20 years just looking to take care of other people's animals and get some exercise at the same time. We'll be doing it part time I will not be working at any other job this will be my job that I will be doing have to take it easy I've been working hard for the last 30 years I have a routine we take our dogs out at least four times a day to go potty we do walk them around and our big yard they get fed on a regular basis I do have cats outside which are dogs get along with and all of our animals are potty trained so we work with them on making sure they're potty trained they don't misbehave when people around so I'm pretty much good with animals.

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and have always been drawn to them. My Dad jokes that he would love to be one of my dogs because they are treated like royalty! There are always 2 to 3 dogs in my pack at all times along with 1 to 3 fosters. I have been fostering for Happily Ever After Animal Sanctuary for about 15 years now and have been walking dogs at their Sanctuary facility for almost 13. I love to be around any dog of any size, but always have a soft spot for the shy guys or trouble makers:) I feel it's my job to do what I can to restore the animals faith in humanity after it was let down by the person who was trusted to take care of them. If you have a dog or dogs who need someone to come take care of them while you are away, I would love to do so! Or if you have a long day at work and would like them to get a walk, I can do that too:) Looking forward to meeting you and your dog soon! Missy I will do my best to work your needs into my daily routine. In home care is also an option for any day of the week... I have 5 acres with a fenced in yard and 5 dogs currently living with me. There is a heated garage and greenhouse for separation if needed and I also have kennels in all various sizes.

About: We love to watch pets grow and learn! We operated a state-licensed in-home daycare for children for 10 years. Now, our family enjoys hosting dogs in our home! We are accommodating and have many repeat guests. Our regular daycare dogs are best friends. We enjoy meeting new pet families. *WE WILL SEND PICTURES, VIDEOS, AND RESPOND AS PROMPTLY AS POSSIBLE TO ANY MESSAGES YOU SEND* **No children are present currently. ** Due to allergies, hypoallergenic pets preferred** Recently we have switched things up. My Husband Paul, is home full-time. I work part-time. I have the luxury of being home in the middle of the day. We have plenty of love and attention to give. My husband and adult children also love dogs, we work as a team. My dogs are rarely to never, without an adult. We have two training periods per day with our dogs and include any dogs that are here as well. Our home is VERY PUPPY PROOF, as we have had the joy of raising puppies in our home recently. My spots fill up quickly so plan ahead. I can’t wait to meet your dogs! Shelby, Paul and Alyssa. I have two friendly Bernedoodles who will gladly run the backyard with your pups! They prefer multiple short visits to the backyard and one or two long play sessions. We go out with the dogs and PLAY WITH THEM. I can keep smaller breeds entirely separated from larger dogs if preferred. However, my dogs are very gentle with small dogs. We rarely leave our babies home alone. We do have XL crates available to keep them safe if they have a short time alone due to an emergency. Guests have the privilege of supervised, free-roaming access to the dog-friendly/dog-proofed main level of the house. We can separate dogs if necessary with walk-through gates. This is something we do during meet and greets, but rarely during an actual stay. I can accommodate eating preferences. Water is available in multiple rooms. I specialize in puppy care and will work on training your dog as well while in my care. I do not accept aggressive or reactive dogs. I require proof of vaccination and flea and tick prevention.

“Miiks was amazing! She came through for me in a pinch and did an awesome job taking care of my dogs. She sent me pictures and updates and really appreciated her extras. Will definitely use again.”

“We rescued 2 dogs from a shelter a few weeks before we went on a 6 day vacation (we couldn't stand to see them in cages) so Bree stayed at our house and took very good care of our 2 dogs and 4 cats. She came out a couple weeks before to meet the puppies and so we could go over directions. This is our first time using Rover and we are 100% satisfied with the service. Bree was a Godsend and we would have had to cancel our trip if she wasn't able to help. She kept us updated woth pictures and text and we were able to enjoy ourselves because of that peace of mind. She is sweet, kind and caring and we now have a dog sitter for life :)”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and responsibility I bring to caring for dogs. I have experience living with and caring for multiple dogs, so I understand that each dog has their own personality, routine, energy level, and individual needs. I take the time to get to know each dog and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, including energetic puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs who may need extra patience and attention. With puppies, I can help reinforce routines, provide appropriate play and stimulation, work on basic manners, and maintain consistency with their schedule. With senior dogs, I’m attentive to their comfort, mobility, feeding routines, bathroom needs, medication instructions, and need for a calmer pace. I’m also comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, administering medications when instructed, cleaning up after pets, and maintaining a clean and safe environment. I pay close attention to changes in a dog’s behavior, appetite, energy, or bathroom habits so I can communicate any concerns to their owner. Most importantly, I don’t view pet sitting as simply stopping by to provide food and water. I want each dog to receive companionship, attention, exercise, and affection while their family is away. I treat the pets in my care like my own and make their safety and well-being my priority. Pet care is a big part of my daily life. I have several dogs, so caring for them is part of my everyday routine. I help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and making sure they’re safe and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy spending time with my animals, and they’re a big part of my life. I care for pets by making sure they are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and are kept in a safe, clean environment. I follow each pet’s individual routine, including walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any special instructions from the owner. I also make sure to give them plenty of love and companionship while their owners are away.
