House Sitting Hyde Park

“Marilyn is a fantastic sitter and considerate homestay. She took great care of my two cats (and my home), and they really liked her based on the numerous pictures she sent where it appeared they were following her around, and not just to the wet food. What's more, Marilyn goes above and beyond. When I left for my trip and Marilyn was to begin residency the following day, my neighbor texted me and showed me that there was a window situation where a cat could escape. Even though her duty started the next day, Marilyn made a special trip to confirm cats were safe, and to fix the window situation. She even washed the bedding and towels I had left her so I wouldn't have to do it when I got home, and she generously allowed my to book two more nights of her care when I wanted to extend my trip. Marilyn is very caring, considerate and flexible. I will definitely be requesting her services again. I recommend her highly as one of the best Rover caretakers I have encountered.”

“Rev was the most responsive, caring and thoughtful caring person! She sent us many, many pictures with updates throughout the days we were away and went out of her way to coordinate with our families as I had undergone an emergency surgery and couldn’t make it back in time. Simply put, Rev is the bestest!!”

“Juliette was fantastic! She stayed at our home with our dog for the weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept us updated throughout her stay with messages and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. He looked so happy and comfortable in every update, and it was clear that Juliette took wonderful care of him. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a great overall experience. We would absolutely book with Juliette again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter.”

“Ailise is awesome! She was flexible with our last minute modifications. She took care of two of our dogs with very different needs and personalities. She took great care of our home while we were away as well. We were a little nervous leaving our dogs for a weekend with a sitter but we couldn't be happier!”

“Lindsay took such great care of my cat Naomi! She was extremely professional and responsive, and she was so helpful even with some very last minute changes/housesitting needs that I was stressing over. Also had no trouble administering Naomi’s medication and was so attentive to her daily routine. I really appreciated all the detailed updates and cat pics!! I would happily have her catsit for us again :)”

“If we could give Yanira 10 shining stars, we would! Yanira took exceptional care of our sheltie Pepper in our home. Yanira arrived on time, which we appreciated since we had a plane to catch. Yanira sent regular updates and photos, and when we returned from our trip, Pepper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Our house, BTW, was immaculate. Yanira has our highest recommendations, and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Yanira!!!!!”

“Katie and her friend Jesse stayed at our house for 5 nights and took care of our 60 lb, 10 month old puppy who had recently gone into heat. They were very responsive, provided plenty of updates, and took great care of our pup (and our house). Even our neighbors who ran into them on a walk were impressed! We were very fortunate to have found them to help us out last minute.”

“Angie was amazing with Frankie!! He felt so comfortable with her and she send so many updates, which we love! We will definitely have her back :)”

“This was the first time we have ever left our 11 year old dog with a "new" person and we couldn't have had a better sitter than Isis. She sent us some great photos of Fergus and took him to all of his favorite spots. We could tell he was very comfortable with Isis at the meet and greet, and we knew he would be happy when we came home. Isis even noticed that Fergus had a skin issue that we forgot to tell her about. We highly recommend Isis as a pet sitter and will definitely hire her again!”

“Amy was great for her week long stay with Savannah. Very communicative and we came home to a happy cat! It was so great to get pictures and videos daily.”

Meg C.

“Jainah was wonderful with my needy pup Xie Xie and took great care to make sure he ate. She hand fed him with out my asking! I was updated on walks and her care and couldn’t be more grateful!”

Jessica B.

“Having Sarah stay at our house with our dogs was such a huge lifesaver! It gave us such peace of mind leaving the dogs in their environment with someone who would love them like we do. Sarah sent us texts every day with an update and pictures. She also took out our trash, watered our plants, and kept our house tidy. We couldn’t recommend Sarah enough!”

Lauren A.

“Michaela did a great job taking care of our dogs, one of whom is recovering from surgery. She sent regular updates and kept an eye on our house.”

Elizabeth P.

“Amanda watched my high-energy dog, Buffy, for almost 2 weeks, and she did an amazing job! She seemed to bring my girl on so many adventures, and she made me feel like she really cared about Buffy and loved her like I did. It really calmed my nerves while I was away on vacation. I can’t thank her enough!”

Anna F.

“Donna was great. Prompt arrival and constant comma while we were away. She sent pictures and let us know Shirley was scratching her face likely due to anxiety. She treated our dog wonderfully and I would not hesitate to book again”

About: I follow the guidelines of the owner. I am "present" (not distracted) with the dog. I am consistent and caring. I am very aware of the dog's behavior in the range of other pets and people, and adjust our path and pace accordingly. I am recently retired and my scheduled is flexible between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. unless I have scheduled time on the water to sail. Currently, I walked my neighbors dog. When I enter, I am careful to close the door immediately and take time to greet the dog (Mazie, female). I am attentive to details when putting on her harness for both security and comfort. While walking, I follow the instructions of the owner relative to the proximity of other dogs since Mazie is a rescue and can become agitated by other dogs. Maize heels very well for me while we walk and I believe she appreciates that I do not listen to music or use my phone while we walk. I converse with Mazie to ensure she feels companionship as well as experiences exercise.
