House Sitting Iamonia

“Emily is absolutely wonderful!! She has done overnight stays in my home multiple times over the last year. During the year, I have acquired quite a few more pets then her first time sitting last summer. This visit Emily stayed in my home for two and a half weeks. She got thrown a few curve balls this visit and took them all in stride. First, my travel mates decided to leave a day early, I contacted her and on very short notice she was able to come a day early. Then right before I left, I found 2 abandoned kittens, I knew I wasn't going to be able to get them in anywhere on such short notice, so decided to keep them until I got back and then explore options for placement/adoption. Then one of my pets (a guinea pig) developed an abscess which warranted a trip to the ER vet, medication twice daily and a follow-up with his primary (exotic) vet. When she noticed a change in the guinea pig, she immediately contacted me and she was able to get him treatment. Without her close eye and swift intervention, things may not have turned out so well as a guinea pigs health can be quite fragile. She has been my pet sitter for a year, and during that time she has built bonds and relationships with my pets and knows their personalities, behaviors and preferences. She is able to quickly identify any changes. She is always very professional and communicates daily via texts and frequently sends pictures/videos. She takes great care of my pets and she always leaves my home neat and tidy. It is so nice to come home to happy, healthy pets and a clean house after being away. I can not speak highly enough about her! She is wonderful! I would recommend her for any and all of your pet sitting needs.”

“Katie is the BEST. My dog is a special needs, 17 year old anxious dachshund. He’s near the end of his life and I don’t want him to be alone. Even though she had other plans when I first requested her, she continued checking to see if I had found anyone. She called around trying to help me find someone who could sit ALL day, which is a challenge in its self. When I wasn’t able to find someone, she gave up her plans to be with my Bailey. I’m so protective and nervous to leave anyone with him but myself. Well, Katie was able to calm him, reassure his fears that he was safe. She found ways to calm him during a panic attack, which I’d never tried before.. She is resourceful to address unexpected needs. and attentive to all his special needs, including diapers. Most people would not take on this job. I say this to show her dedication and passion to help people and their beloved pets. She sends pictures and videos. An added bonus. She is great at catching really good photos of your pet. Check out her posted photos. she stayed in touch with me throughout the day. Which gave me the peace and assurance I needed. Most important, she was able and willing to work with all my challenging fears, doubts of leaving my dog, and the many times I changed my mind, and scheduled times etc. She stuck with me and helped me get thru the day. Thank you Katie ***** If Rover reads this review, as I’ve learned you do,?? please better clarify your “HomeSitting” category option. It’s does not specify hours that will be provided for the price listed. Nor does it included any category that addresses special need pets that need Basic hone care sitters. Some just need company all day to protect themselves from harm. Some are blind, deaf, need extra potty break, diapers, hourly feedings, medicine giving, bathing after diaper changer etc. pet parents need a category that’s reasonably priced for pet parents, yet worth while for the Rover sitter. High hourly rates are too high for the amount of hours needed on a regular bases, on top of all the expense special needs parents also are struggling with. Hope you’ll create this new category and fair pricing gir both sides. Most sitters don’t know the extent of care they are accepting the way it is now. This is causing conflicts between Sitters and Parents and what each party expects People like Katie are rare to come upon. She is what keeps Rover in Business,”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of different breeds and ages for as long as I can remember! I have experience administering medication to senior dogs. I love to do more than just feed and check on them, like play, walk, and cuddle! I have two kitties of my own, and we have had wiener dogs in the family since childhood! I’m pretty open and available to follow your schedule! I typically have gone twice a day when I watch my friend’s animals, it just depends on what they prefer and what they think is best! I am very flexible. I will care for your pets and home as if they are my own! I love animals, it’s a pleasure to spend time with them. I will accommodate to your pets needs as you see fit!

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have always been the person who wants to love on every critter I meet! I have several sweet fur babies of my own and have cared for all kinds of animals over the years—from dogs and cats to horses, birds, lizards, rats, and pretty much anything else you can name. I’ve also had the opportunity to foster 3 medical puppies through LCHS, along with 1 non-medical foster dog. Fostering has given me even more experience with animals who need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. I am also familiar and comfortable with administering medicine to cats and dogs from pills to shots and creams. I genuinely love animals and really enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and quirks. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else, so I take their care very seriously. When your pets are with me, they’ll be treated just like my own with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they’re into that, of course!). I work a full time job M-F but am able to do lunchtime potty breaks. If you are interested in booking over weekdays it would be best that your fur baby can be alone for 4 hour increments. If your pet is people/pet friendly and you approve I am able to bring dogs to my office space. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like my own and take the responsibility of caring for them very seriously. I’ll follow your instructions and routines closely, and make sure they’re happy, safe, and comfortable. I want you to feel completely at ease while you are gone and pride myself on sending often updates and photos of your fur babies.

About: Your dog’s new best adventure awaits 🐾✨ I believe every pet deserves more than someone simply stopping by to fill their bowl. I want your pup to feel safe, loved, entertained, and cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give every pet. I take the time to learn their personality, routine, favorite activities, and individual needs so I can make their time with me feel comfortable and fun. 🐶 Puppy care: I’m happy to provide patience, potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and help maintaining your puppy’s routine. 🐾 Senior care: I’m comfortable giving extra patience and attention to older pets who may need a slower pace, more frequent potty breaks, or additional care. 💊 Medication: I’m comfortable following detailed medication instructions and keeping your pet on their normal schedule. 🎾 High-energy pups: Walks, playtime, outdoor time, and plenty of attention to help them burn off that extra energy! 💗 Shy or nervous pets: I never force interaction. I let them warm up to me at their own pace and focus on making them feel secure. 📸 Photo updates: You’ll get adorable updates so you can enjoy your trip without constantly wondering how your baby is doing. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, respect your home, and treat your pet like family. No rushed visits, no “just checking a box”—your pet gets real attention and care. You handle your plans. I’ll handle the tail wags. 🐾💕 Hellooo wonderful fur parents, I currently work part time so I can only pet care every day from 8 AM to 3 PM. However if you need me too I am willing to call out. I treat every pet as if they were my own and follow the owner’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and safe. I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on schedule, plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and affection based on their individual needs and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space while providing reliable care, keeping them updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and well cared for. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being and will notify the owner immediately if I notice anything unusual. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so both pets and owners can feel confident and comfortable while they’re apart.

“Camille stayed with our 3 dogs for multiple night and was amazing. She communicated frequently and yoh can tell our babies got so much love and attention”

I have my own cat and dog at home, so I know firsthand how much routine, patience, and attention to individual personality matters — no two pets are the same. I have particular experience with senior pets and animals with anxiety — knowing how to move slowly, read body language, and create a calm, predictable environment so they feel secure rather than stressed.

“As this was only the second time leaving my dog with someone else, I was understandably anxious. However, Deborah's attentiveness to my dog's needs made all the difference. She kept me updated on how my dog was adjusting, sharing uodates and photos. The fact that Deborah even offered to pick up and drop off my dog at my house was above and beyond what I expected. Her dedication and kindness truly made this experience fantastic. I can't recommend her enough!”

“Andrew is great! He really cared about our dog and frequently updated us on how the dog was doing. He also left the house spotless. We will definitely hire him again.”

About: Experienced Dog Lover | Foster & Special-Needs Savvy Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. My father trained and raised dogs throughout my childhood, so I grew up learning how to understand different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I’ve also fostered 55 puppies, giving me hands-on experience with everything from shy and nervous dogs to high-energy pups who need structure, patience, and extra attention. I’m comfortable with reactive dogs and am not intimidated by dogs who may need more time, space, reassurance, or a specific routine. I understand that behavior is communication, and I take the time to learn what each dog is trying to tell me. Before working with dogs, I worked with children with special needs, which taught me an incredible amount about patience, consistency, and reading non-verbal cues. Those skills translate naturally into the way I care for animals. I’m happy to follow the routines and training you already have in place, including feeding instructions, walks, boundaries, medications, enrichment, and any behavioral cues I should know about. I want your dog to feel safe and understood rather than simply "watched." And you won't have to wonder how they're doing! I’m happy to send plenty of photos, videos, and updates throughout our time together. Every dog has their own personality, quirks, and way of communicating. I genuinely enjoy figuring out what makes each one special and giving them the individual attention they deserve. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority. I’m able to accommodate different routines, including multiple walks, feeding schedules, medications, playtime, enrichment, and dogs who need extra attention or consistency throughout the day. Safety and trust always come first. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, boundaries, triggers, and personality rather than assuming every dog needs the same type of care. Having fostered 55 puppies and cared for reactive and higher-needs dogs, I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, managing separate spaces when needed, and giving dogs the time and space they need to feel secure.
